CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings

Jiang Xiyan crossed his hands in front of his chest, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance from others. His expression was stern, like an iceberg that was difficult to melt, and he frowned impatiently, as if his frown could kill a fly. He said bluntly: "My schedule has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to ask about it. You should focus more on your own work and don't try to pry into my affairs." His tone was as cold as the north wind in winter, and his sharp eyes looked straight at Shen Jingyan, as if warning her not to meddle in other people's business. There was a chilling deterrent in his eyes.

Shen Jingyan was still not discouraged, and her hands twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously, which was her habitual action when she was nervous. She continued: "Don't be so serious, I heard that the flowers in Jeju Island are particularly beautiful, the ocean is also endless and vast, and the grassland is also lush and green. Do I have the honor to appreciate these beautiful scenery with you?" There was a hint of expectation in her voice, and her eyes were shining with longing, as if she had already outlined the picture of walking in the beautiful scenery with Jiang Xiyan in her mind.

Jiang Xiyan sneered when he heard this, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a silent mockery to Shen Jingyan. His eyes were full of disdain and annoyance, and he said coldly: "Hehe, I went to Jeju Island for work, not to enjoy the scenery. Don't make trouble here. I have no interest in your proposal. Don't bother me anymore." Every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a biting indifference.

Shen Jingyan tried to persuade him: "Work is of course necessary, but it's also good to relax occasionally." There was a hint of concern in her eyes, as if she was caring about a stubborn friend.

Jiang Xiyan had a blank expression on his face and looked at Shen Jingyan with cold eyes, "My job does not allow me to slack off at all, and I don't need any relaxation." Jiang Xiyan's tone was stiff and he was not moved at all. His whole body and mind seemed to be occupied by work, with no room left for other things.

Lu Qingqing watched them chatting from the side, and her heart was already burning with anger. Since Jiang Xiyan lost his memory, he seemed to become even more unkind and indifferent. She couldn't help but say, "Miss Shen, please respect yourself. Our president has said that he has his own schedule, so don't bother him!" There was a hint of anger in her voice, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Shen Jingyan.

Shen Jingyan showed a trace of embarrassment and grievance when Lu Qingqing said this. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she bit her lips lightly. She still suppressed her unhappiness and took a deep breath and said, "I just greeted him out of courtesy. I didn't mean to disturb him." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, as if she was defending herself.

Lu Qingqing didn't buy it. She frowned, her brows knitted tightly together, as if they were a knot that couldn't be untied. She said in a tough tone: "Ms. Shen, we can't afford your politeness. The president needs to rest quietly and doesn't want to be disturbed for no reason." There was a hint of toughness in her words, without any concession.

Jiang Xiyan still sat there expressionlessly, as if none of this had anything to do with him. He put on his eye mask again and leaned back in his chair, as if he was trying to avoid it all and no longer care about their argument.

Shen Jingyan bit her lip and stopped talking. She turned her head silently and looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the porthole. The layers of white clouds seemed to have lost their luster in her eyes, just like her gloomy mood at the moment. There was a hint of loneliness in her eyes, as if she was a flower forgotten in the corner.

After a while, the flight attendants began to distribute meals. The aroma of the meals filled the cabin, carrying the flavors of various delicacies, including the aroma of chicken, the fragrance of vegetables, and the aroma of rice. However, Shen Jingyan had no appetite. She just ate a few bites and pushed the plate aside. Her mind was not on the food at all, but on the unpleasantness between her and Jiang Xiyan just now.

Jiang Xiyan opened his eyes at the gentle reminder of the flight attendant, took the plate, and ate gracefully and mechanically. His eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about work, and he ate every bite of food in a very regular manner, as if he was completing a task.

The plane finally arrived at Jeju Island. Passengers stood up and took their luggage from the luggage rack. The sound was noisy and lively, as if it was a small concert. Shen Jingyan also stood up and tidied her clothes and hair. She gently smoothed her clothes and combed her hair with her hands. Then she took down the suitcase. The suitcase was a bit heavy, but she still took it down steadily.

Jiang Xiyan and Lu Qingqing followed behind her. Lu Qingqing was still muttering softly, "What a difficult woman." Although her voice was small, people could still hear her dissatisfaction.

Shen Jingyan pretended not to hear and walked quickly towards the exit with her suitcase. At the airport exit, she saw her colleague who came to pick her up. The colleague took her luggage enthusiastically and said, "Jingyan, you have worked hard all the way." There was a hint of concern in his voice.

Shen Jingyan forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Let's go." Her smile was a little forced, as if she was trying to hide her inner emotions.

Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Xiyan and Lu Qingqing walked past them. Jiang Xiyan's eyes accidentally met Shen Jingyan's, but he quickly looked away and strode forward. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he was running away from something.

Just as Shen Jingyan and her colleagues were about to leave the airport, they saw the representative of the partner standing not far away and waving at them. The waving hand was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, as if calling Shen Jingyan.

Shen Jingyan walked over quickly, stretched out her hand with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "Manager Li, nice to meet you." Her smile was bright and sincere, as if she was meeting a long-lost friend.

Manager Li held her hand and said with a hearty smile: "Ms. Shen, have a safe trip. We have prepared a meeting room in the hotel, and we can discuss the details of the cooperation today." His voice was loud and powerful, as if he was announcing something important.

Shen Jingyan nodded and said, "That's great. We have brought some new design plans this time, and we hope they can meet the needs of your company." There was a hint of expectation in her voice, as if she was looking forward to the smooth progress of this cooperation.

In the car on the way to the hotel, Shen Jingyan and Manager Li began further conversation.

Shen Jingyan opened the folder she carried with her. She gently opened it, took out a document, and said, "Manager Li, this is the preliminary design plan we made based on market research and your company's product positioning. You can take a look at it first. We can communicate with you at any time if you have any ideas." Her voice was soft and clear, as if she was telling a story.

Manager Li took the information, flipped through it carefully, and said as he read, "Well, it looks pretty good. However, I'm more concerned about the issue of cost control. What are your thoughts in this regard?" There was a hint of doubt in his voice, as if he was looking for an answer.

Shen Jingyan explained: "We fully considered the cost factor during the design process. We selected some cost-effective materials and optimized the production process to ensure that costs are reduced as much as possible while ensuring quality." There was a hint of confidence in her voice, as if she was confident in her design plan.

Manager Li frowned slightly and said, "But judging from these designs, some parts may make later processing more difficult. Will this affect the cost?" There was a hint of worry in his voice, as if he was worried that the cost would exceed the budget.

Shen Jingyan answered seriously: "We have simulated and evaluated the processing process. Although some designs may be challenging to process, our production team has rich experience, and we will also provide detailed process guidance to ensure that the cost will not be significantly increased due to processing difficulties." There was a hint of firmness in her voice, as if she was assuring Manager Li.

Manager Li thought for a while and said, "What about the delivery time? We hope to launch new products as soon as possible, so we have relatively strict requirements on delivery time." There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if he was looking forward to the new products being available on the market as soon as possible.

Shen Jingyan said confidently: "We have developed a detailed production plan. If everything goes well, we can complete the task ahead of schedule within the delivery period stipulated in the contract. Of course, we will also keep in touch with you at any time to ensure that you can keep up to date with the production progress." There was a hint of pride in her voice, as if she was showing off her production plan.

Manager Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then we'll discuss other issues in detail after we get to the hotel." There was a hint of expectation in his voice, as if he was looking forward to further cooperation with Shen Jingyan.

Shen Jingyan smiled and said, "Okay, Manager Li. We are very much looking forward to the smooth progress of this cooperation." Her smile was bright and sincere, as if she was looking forward to a bright future.

Shen Jingyan and Manager Li came to the luxurious conference room of the hotel. When she pushed open the door, she was surprised to find that Jiang Xiyan was sitting at the main seat of the conference table. The familiar figure made her heart beat faster instantly. She didn't expect to see him here again.

When Jiang Xiyan saw Shen Jingyan, his stern face did not show much expression, but his gaze stayed on her for a short while. There was a hint of complex emotions in his gaze, as if he was seeing a familiar stranger.

Shen Jingyan tried to calm herself down, she took a deep breath, and walked to the conference table with Manager Li and sat down. Her movements were a little stiff, as if she was trying to control her emotions.
