Reborn as a Rich Man: Top Boyfriend

Chapter 24 The Eve of the Dinner Party

Jiang Xingtong watched Shi Fan go away until he disappeared from her sight, then she slowly retracted her gaze and walked towards home in a trance. Along the way, her mind kept replaying the conversation with Shi Fan just now. The conditions proposed by the other party were too tempting - not only could they help her get rid of the quagmire of Huanyu, but she could even get out easily without paying the penalty herself.

However, it was precisely because the conditions were too good that Jiang Xingtong felt uneasy. After all, there is no free lunch in the world. Is there some risk or cost behind such generous treatment? The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

"Sister, why did you come back so early today?" Just as Jiang Xingtong was deep in thought, a shout came from behind, interrupting her thoughts. She looked back and saw a young man standing not far away, with a look of confusion and concern on his face.

Jiang Xingtong looked closely and found that it was her brother Jiang Xingyan who had just entered the first year of high school. She couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously: "Why did you come home now when you weren't studying hard at school?"

Facing his sister's question, Jiang Xingyan's face changed slightly, revealing a hint of unnaturalness. He hesitantly explained: "Well... the school organized us to go to the nursing home to participate in a charity event, which ended early, so I came back first." While speaking, his eyes flickered, as if he was hiding something.

Jiang Xingtong was a little absent-minded. When she heard her brother's explanation, she simply nodded to show her understanding, but did not ask further questions. Then, they went upstairs together and went home.

As soon as I opened the door, a strong aroma of food hit me. Through the glass door of the kitchen, I could see a slender figure busy cooking. When I heard the door open, the figure poked his head out.

A beautiful woman with fair skin, slim figure and well-combed hair appeared in front of him. She looked about 60% similar to Jiang Xingtong, and looked to be in her 30s. This beautiful woman was Jiang Xingtong's mother. She was actually in her early 40s, but the years had not left too many marks on her. At this time, she was holding a spatula with a gentle smile on her face: "You are back! It's just right, come and have lunch together, wait a moment, the food will be out of the pot soon."

After the brother and sister washed their hands, Jiang Xingtong asked her brother to set the table and told him that he didn't need to prepare his own portion. Then she turned and walked into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

After a while, all the dishes were served on the table and the three people took their seats.

While her mother was eating, Jiang Xingtong excitedly talked about her experience of attending an interview with a large crew today. She cleverly skipped the plot of almost missing the interview yesterday, and instead focused on the director's praise for her and giving her the opportunity to try out an important role. If nothing unexpected happens, this role is a sure thing for her.

Hearing this, Jiang Xingyan praised her sister without hesitation. Witnessing this warm and harmonious scene, Jiang Qingdai was filled with joy. She knew very well that when her husband died in the line of duty two years ago, she had fallen into deep grief and had been unable to extricate herself for several months. However, when she gradually came out of the haze, she was surprised to find that her eldest daughter, who was still in college at the time, seemed to have matured overnight. Although she could sense that her eldest daughter could not easily accept the sudden departure of her father, she endured the pain in her heart and took good care of her younger sister and brother. This strength and responsibility made Jiang Qingdai, as a mother, sigh.

Since graduation, the eldest daughter has been working tirelessly to find part-time jobs to earn income in order to reduce the burden on the family. Only when she talks about her favorite acting career will her sincere smile bloom like a spring flower.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Xingtong took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help clean up, but she was full of entanglement and hesitation. She had been thinking about whether to tell the other party about her intention to change companies, but after careful consideration, she finally decided to keep it secret for the time being. She wanted to wait until she made a clear decision, and then choose the right time to tell the other party, so as not to make him worry too much.

At the same time, after sending Jiang Xingtong home, Shi Fan immediately drove back to Xinghan Company. This time, he no longer needed to be notified by the front desk, but took the elevator directly to the top floor. Before entering the office, he first confirmed with Secretary Wang at the front desk whether Situ Mo was in the office. After receiving a positive reply, he walked to Situ Mo's office without hesitation.

In the office, Situ Mo was concentrating on reading a report. Hearing the knock on the door, he did not look up, but simply answered. However, when he noticed that someone came in without speaking, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, so he looked up and found that it was Shi Fan.

Seeing Shi Fan, Situ Mo smiled and asked jokingly, "Why didn't you make any noise when you came in? Have you met that girl so soon?" He seemed to know Shi Fan's itinerary well, and there was a hint of teasing in his words.

"It's because you're too busy and I just can't bear to disturb you!" Shi Fan swung the car keys in his hand, then sat down leisurely opposite Situ Mo.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, you are thoughtful and considerate." Situ Mo laughed and shook his head and said, "Why, did you come here specifically to get the contract?"

"No, it can't be so fast! Wait a little longer, you have to give people some time to think about it." Shi Fan waved his hands quickly.

"All right, who asked our Master Shi to be so kind to women? Let me tell you, the office has been cleaned up for you. It's right next to mine. It's time for you, the second-in-command of the company, to officially start working!" Situ Mo looked at Shi Fan with a joking expression.

Shi Fan touched his nose with his hand guiltily, and said with a twinkling look in his eyes: "Um... I will bring my assistant here tomorrow. You can just contact him directly for company matters."

Hearing this, Situ Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained unhappily: "So you came to the company just for your little girl, and you wouldn't come if she wasn't here, right?"

Shi Fan felt a little embarrassed when he heard what he said, and quickly explained: "Well, that's not the case. Brother Mo, you are so capable. I'm just afraid that if I come here, it will cause you trouble and hinder you. Hehe."

Situ Mo obviously didn't believe him, and rolled his eyes at him again, then said in a serious tone: "You can not come to the company, but there is a jewelry dinner tomorrow night, and you must attend."

Shi Fan didn't really care about this so-called jewelry dinner, thinking it was just an ordinary banquet. But since it was Situ Mo's request, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded casually and agreed.
