The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

Seeing Mr. Jian's expression, she felt relieved. She thought she had done a good job and didn't embarrass him.

Time passed quickly, and contestants were leaving the venue one after another. Nie Zheng was skilled and did not make any mistakes. She put the incense in the incense squeezer, and it was the last step.

The incense is pressed into strips, and then the next step is to wait for it to dry naturally, so that the judges can taste the incense and give it a score.

Finally it was done, and Nie Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. It was already morning, the hottest time of the day, and a little sweat appeared on her temples.

As soon as she left the competition venue, she saw a familiar figure from a distance.

Was it Chong Jianzhi? He hadn't left, but had been waiting under the tall and broad banyan tree by the road.

Nie Zheng had originally agreed with him that he would leave as long as she could be sent to the competition. Mr. Chong was very busy and had a lot of work to deal with every day. There was really no need for him to waste time waiting for her to compete.

"elder brother……"

She ran towards him, and when the man saw her coming, he also stood up from the stone pier.

I simply opened my arms and hugged his neck. I saw a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. I looked at the time and found that he had been waiting here for nearly three hours.

"Brother, why don't you listen? Didn't we agree that I would go back by myself?"

He stroked her smooth hair and removed the agarwood shavings that had rubbed against her face. He explained calmly, "You have to understand me. My mood right now is like a parent waiting for a college entrance examination candidate to leave the examination room. If you let me stay in the company, I will still think of you."

This answer was perfect. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she stood on tiptoes and kissed him on his thin lips.

The taste is so sweet, just like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Chong Jianzhi remained calm on the surface, but he blinked a few times and couldn't suppress a smile on his lips.

"How about it?"

Nie Zheng smacked her lips and said, "It's still so soft."

He was asking her how the game was, but she answered about the feel of her lips.

President Chongda, who usually keeps his emotions to himself, put his hands in front of his lips and coughed twice unnaturally. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. He... actually felt a little shy.

After the competition, Nie Zheng had some idea in his mind. He didn't know how the other players performed, but he had tried his best.

Bai Chaochao's birthday is coming. She has been doing well in live streaming recently and has received a lot of commission on her pay slip. She had a hard time last year, but now things are looking up. This birthday is also a new beginning, and she wants to celebrate it properly.

Originally I thought that what she meant by celebrating was that we all sat together to have a meal, have a party, have fun and kill time.

"What? You're going to walk the red carpet? Have a birthday party?"

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and Nie Zheng didn't react. She looked at Bai Chaozhao suspiciously. She had known her best friend for so many years, and she knew that she was not the kind of person who liked to do this kind of thing. Why did she suddenly make it so grand? It was scary...

"Um...can't you?"

He quickly touched her forehead and said, "You don't have a fever, do you? Isn't that what Lou Fan wants to do to you? If you are kidnapped, just blink your eyes."

"Yes, that's what he wanted to do for me. I thought it was quite interesting, so I agreed."

After Bai Chaochao finished speaking, he poked Lou Fan, who was concentrating on the sports car game next to him.

"Ah... yes, it's me."

He admitted it vaguely.

"What happened to you two today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

There was another round of jokes, which changed the subject.

Since Bai Chaochao was going to hold a small birthday party, Nie Zheng had to specially buy a suitable evening dress.

It has been a while since she last wore these things. Ever since Touyun was acquired by Zheng Yue, she rarely wears high heels. After all, she no longer has to deal with the unlucky father and son Chong Jiansen and Chong Jianzhi. She would even be criticized for wearing flat shoes to work.

After get off work, the two went to try on dresses. When Nie Zheng was trying on clothes, Bai Chaochao wanted to take out a small notebook to write down her body size and all the elements she liked.

"Bai Chaochao, are you okay? Why is it so grand? It's as if this birthday party is held for me."

"Stop talking so much."

"By the way..." She thought for a long time and decided to say it, "No news from your mother recently?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chaochao's face suddenly changed. In fact, she had never stopped looking for her mother's whereabouts during this period. Ever since her mother took Bai Yong's insurance money and ran away, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. In fact, Bai Chaochao could guess that the first thing she did after taking the money was to squander it, and when the money was gone, she would naturally come back.

Blood is thicker than water, and she couldn't just leave her mother alone.

The two had just come out of the designer's studio when Nie Zheng suddenly received a call from Tan Yu.

"Nie Zheng, give me your competition number."

She was a little confused and asked, "Why do we need numbers?"

"The judges just summarized the results this afternoon. Normally, they will not be announced until tomorrow morning, but I have internal channels and can know your results now."

At that moment, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she began to blame herself for answering Tan Yu's call. If she didn't answer, at least she would know the result tomorrow.

"Nie Zheng? Are you listening?"

"…Uh, I'm struggling with whether or not to look at the results."

It felt like there was a knife hanging over your head. You knew the knife would fall sooner or later, but she still comforted herself that the later it could be, the better.

"Don't be too nervous. You'll know the result sooner or later anyway. Didn't you say you performed well?"

"Okay..." She actually hadn't thought about it yet, but she didn't want to hesitate any longer, so she gritted her teeth and told Tan Yu a string of numbers.

"And send me your ID number as well."

Nie Zheng said.

There was a sound of typing on the keyboard from the other end of the line, followed by a suffocating wait.

Time passed one by one, but there was still no reply from Tan Yu.

"Um, Nie Zheng, how many places are there for the semi-finals to advance to the finals?"

When Nie Zheng heard what he said, her heart sank.

"Fifteen in total."

"I only looked at the Ningjiang Division's rankings because they haven't been finalized yet. You're ranked... 28th."

A long silence began, and Nie Zheng suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Can you say that again?"

She thought that she had not successfully advanced, but the final result should have been one or two places short, which was a bit regrettable.

If she only ranked in Ningjiang, she would be ranked in the lower middle. If Bei'an was included, she would be ranked at least outside the top 50.

This really exceeded her expectations.

"I checked twice more. You made the Goose Pear Fragrance, right? You got 30 out of 20.6 points."

"……okay, I get it."

Tan Yu could hear her frustration and said, "It could be that the staff made an input error. This is not the final result. When the results are summarized with those of Bei'an, all staff will conduct a second statistics to avoid errors. I'll talk to them later and ask them to check your results. I don't think that should be the case."

"……it is good."

Nie Zheng was extremely depressed, but she still held on to the last bit of hope. Perhaps there was an error in the results she entered... She carefully recalled the situation on the day of the competition. There was no problem with every step and all the operations.

Less than five minutes after I hung up the phone, Chong Jianzhi called me.

"Do you know the ranking?"

Tan Yu was afraid that she would feel too uncomfortable, so he informed Chong Jianzhi as well.

"……Um."

"There should be some errors in the rankings. Let's wait and see tomorrow's results. If they are still the same, ask the organizing committee to verify the results."

Nie Zheng was stunned. She herself didn't have such confidence, but her brother was so sure that she would successfully advance?

"Brother, maybe I just didn't perform well."
