Gu Chenyi might not be attracted to Lin Qingya, but his belief about her being a hard-to-come-by girl became stronger. As such, he refused to believe that she was capable of scheming against others and reckoned that these were just slanderous lies that Mu Huan came up with!
His faith in her was more unwavering than ever.
The nightlights were slowly coming on as long queues formed on the road during the evening peak hours.
Bao Junyan, however, was still at work in his office.
He scanned through the documents as PA Wang stood aside and reported the sales’ increase across the Bao Group’s department stores for this month.
His head lifted when he heard that their company’s electronic and technological stores had an increase of 80% in monthly sales as compared to the prior month.
“What special marketing tactics have been employed?”
“None at all. It’s just the start-of-school season. Nowadays, freshmen usually start school with a set of must-have three-piece digital products; that is, a new laptop, a new tablet, and a new cell phone. It’s why this month’s electronic sales have skyrocketed.”
There were too many industries that the company had a share in, and with the department store industry being only a small part of it, the man rarely paid much attention to it. It was only when there was a large increase or decline in sales that he would ask about it.
Recently, he had been so swamped up with work that he’d had little time to pay attention to anything else. Hence, it was only at his assistant’s mention of this that he realized his wife was about to start school, too.
“Go find out what other things are popular among freshmen and prepare a set of them. They will have to be of the best.” His wife must not only have what others have, but she also must have the best.
“Understood.”
With his assistant being a highly efficient worker, Bao Junyan was able to bring home all the equipment that was trending among freshmen that very night.
Mu Huan was reading her college’s pharmaceutical teaching materials for year one when he arrived home.
Being always the one to grumble about Heaven being unjust and how Mu Huan could fare so well in exams despite her spending her time working every day instead of studying, it never occurred to Lin Qingya that, in the time she had spent scheming against others, her friend had maximized and made full use of every second of everyday life and school.
Success did not come easily; it was just that people failed to see the blood, sweat, and tears of others.
When Mu Huan noticed her husband’s return, she immediately put down her book and went up to welcome him. “You’re back, Hubby!”
The man’s lip corners hooked up slightly and involuntarily when he was faced with her sweet smile. “Here.” He handed the suitcase in his hand over to her, which she reached for at once.
“What’s this?”
“Open it and have a look.”
Upon her opening it, a full suitcase and a variety of items came into sight. They were all necessities for students, which included the latest versions of a laptop and a tablet. She raised her head quizically. “Are they for me?”
“Yes.” Bao Junyan would sometimes find his wife to be rather silly, and this was what was happening now. For such an obvious matter, she still had to ask such a silly question. “Isn’t school starting soon? Take a look and see if there’s anything else you lack.”
The lass could not help feeling touched again as she stared at that suitcase of items. She never expected him, being such a busy man, to remember such a minor detail.
Who could possibly resist such a man?
Just when she was about to say something, he opened his mouth and said, “Our company’s current employees-hospital partnership is coming to end. Go inform your grandma to prepare the contract.”
She lifted her head in surprise at that. “Are you intending to give that contract to my family’s hospital?”
“Yes.”
“...”
She had yet to come up with a way to broach the subject of her grandma’s request, but here he went, giving that said contract to her family...
“Your grandma must’ve asked you to talk about this matter with me.”
Her eyes bulged wide in alarm. How did he know?
