The boss of a wealthy family is too clingy, and the beautiful secretary wants to quit

"Alas, this painting is something I left for the next generation. Why did you give it away?" the man said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"For my future daughter-in-law." Ren Yunnan replied with a smile, while holding her husband's hand tightly.

"An Ran?" Jiang Yu asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be?" Ren Yunnan blinked mischievously, looking confident.

Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly, "You are always so willful."

"This is not willfulness, it is fate."

Ren Yunan smiled and said, "I think there is a deep bond between An Ran and Huai Nian. She likes this painting the most out of all your paintings, and this is the only painting Huai Nian participated in creating."

"Okay." Jiang Yu gently patted Ren Yunan's hand and smiled slightly, "I hope this painting can return to our home in the end."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Huainian came back from the main house with a faint smile on his face.

"Let's talk about one of my paintings and whether it will come back in the end." Jiang Yu joked.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Huainian asked puzzled.

"I met An Ran at the art exhibition today."

Ren Yunnan glanced at her son, the corners of her mouth raised in a barely perceptible smile, as if hiding some secret.

Jiang Huainian paused for a moment, his brows slightly wrinkled, with a hint of hostility.

He said "oh", walked over to get a glass of water, took a sip, and asked casually, "Who is she with?"

"She and..." Ren Yunan deliberately dragged out the last word, and the smile on her face became even wider, "She and..."

Jiang Huainian's eyes narrowed, and he tightened his grip on the cup unconsciously.

"She is alone." Ren Yunnan saw her son's reaction and immediately smiled.

Jiang Huainian breathed a sigh of relief and his face regained its calm.

"Mom, how did you meet?" Jiang Huainian changed the subject.

"Oh, I just happened to see her." Ren Yunan smiled, "Besides, don't you see whose territory this is."

She smiled and said, "An Ran is a fan of your father."

Jiang Huaian was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "Dad's fan?"

"Yes, she is very interested in your father's works, so she came to the exhibition specially to appreciate them." Ren Yunnan explained.

"Oh." Jiang Huaian raised a smile, "I'll go change my clothes first. The main house has prepared dinner."

On Monday morning, after An Ran arranged all her schedule, she went to Jiang Huaian's office to report to him.

"Boss Jiang, I have already arranged the afternoon schedule."

An Ran handed him a schedule that detailed the time and location of each activity.

Then he said, "The official flagship store of Hua Ting International Shopping Plaza has been renovated. We can go there for inspection at 2 pm."

Jiang Huaian took the itinerary and looked at it carefully.

"Special Assistant Chen can come with me in the afternoon. Call me if you have anything." Jiang Huainian said as he put down the itinerary.

"Ok."

After An Ran left, Jiang Huainian leaned back on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

In the afternoon, Jiang Huaian took Special Assistant Chen to Huating International Shopping Plaza.

Yu Hua was waiting for them at the entrance of the mall, and when he saw JAC's iconic car arrive, a smile broke out on his face and he walked over.

The driver parked the car skillfully, followed by Special Assistant Chen, and Jiang Huaian walked out of the car calmly.

Yu Hua looked around, but did not see An Ran. A sense of loss passed through his heart.

But he quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and extended his hand to Jiang Huainian, "Welcome."

Jiang Huai Nian shook hands with him politely, "Mr. Yu."

Yu Hua and his assistant took Jiang Huainian and his team to inspect the renovated flagship store.

The flagship store is located in the most prominent position in the mall, surrounded by many international trendy brands.

After the inspection, the group went to the reception room.

"In fact, the Jiang Group's shopping mall has a more advantageous location. Why did you choose mine?" Yu Hua asked curiously, and said with a smile: "It's a waste to use our own resources."

Jiang Huaian smiled faintly and did not answer directly, but asked: "Boss Yu, why do you think we chose this place?"

"Our mall is located right in the city center, with a large flow of people and strong purchasing power, which can bring you more business opportunities and customers." Yu Hua said with a smile.

“Although the shopping malls under our Jiang Group are in prime locations, what we need is a broader market and a younger group,” Jiang Huainian said.

After hearing this, Yu Hua nodded in agreement.

"Why didn't Secretary An come today?" he asked.

"She has other work arrangements." Jiang Huainian said indifferently.

Yu Hua tilted his head to look at him and asked, "Does she really have a boyfriend?"

Jiang Huaian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lazily, "I think so."

"Should?" Yu Hua frowned. "You said yes before, but now it has become should?"

Jiang Huaian replied in a low voice: "A colleague from the secretary's office saw her on a date a few days ago."

When Yu Hua heard the news, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes and he sighed.

After the water in the teapot boiled, he picked up the tea set with a tea clip and rinsed it, and steaming mist spread.

At this moment, the conversation between the two became vague, as if they were both lost in their own thoughts.

"As long as she gets married, I have a chance," said Yu Hua.

He is blatantly trying to steal someone's girl.

Jiang Huainian stopped holding the teacup and looked up.

There was silence for a moment.

He took out the cigarette box and lit a cigarette.

"Although you are her boss, don't hinder your employee's free love!" Yu Hua said with a smile.

"I like An Ran very much." Yu Hua said frankly.

"From the first time I saw her, I knew she was the one I liked, and I didn't want to miss this opportunity, so as long as she was not married, I would keep pursuing her."

Jiang Huainian reached out and flicked the ashes on the ashtray.

"Matters of love are as natural as flowing water, and cannot be forced."

He raised his eyes slightly and looked out the window.

He glanced at his watch again and said to Special Assistant Chen, "Ask the driver to prepare the car." There was a hint of unquestionable authority in his tone.

"Right away." Special Assistant Chen responded quickly.

"Are you leaving now?" Yu Hua asked with some confusion.

"I still have something to do at the company. I'll visit you next time." Jiang Huainian replied indifferently.

***

An Ran printed out the documents sent by the branch and put them in Jiang Huaian's office.

Jiang Huaian's office is cleaned by the cleaning staff after get off work. An Ran put the documents neatly on his desk and found a few cigarette butts in the ashtray.

She looked at it for a few seconds, wrapped the cigarette butt in the ashtray with a tissue and threw it into the trash can.

Before, he would only smoke one or two cigarette butts occasionally, but recently for some reason, Jiang Huainian seemed to smoke more frequently, but he almost never smoked in front of her.

After finishing your work, leave the office and close the door gently.
