Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Journey to Country R

Jiang Cheng and Shen Que received Grandma Shen’s New Year wish, and the two of them were quite open-minded about having children.

They didn’t plan not to, they were just really busy.

After eating dumplings, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After washing up, Jiang Cheng leaned against Shen Que’s chest.

"You... are almost thirty."

Shen Que’s muscles tensed up a bit, holding Jiang Cheng tightly, asking with a hint of reprimand, "Are you disliking me for being old?"

Jiang Cheng didn’t even bother to roll his eyes.

"Let’s have a child."

"Okay!"

That night, the family planning items in the cabinet finally got a breather.

On the first day of the New Year, Grandma Shen woke everyone up early, saying that you shouldn’t sleep in on the first day of the New Year.

That day, it was generally quiet in households, until the second day of the New Year, when visiting relatives became more common.

The Shen Family could be said to have no relatives on both sides, so it was relatively quieter.

From the second day to the tenth, the family of five wandered around, eating, drinking, and having fun.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue were made by Jiang Cheng to play mahjong for several days, making them feel like they’d rather go to school.

Their butts were sore from sitting!

Shen Que and Jiang Cheng lived a carefree night life, and with the good food during the New Year, Shen Que’s complexion was replenished to a rosy glow.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que returned to work together, starting a new year.

On the first day of the New Year, Jiang Cheng did nothing after arriving at the company, mainly to get the employees focused, assigning some unimportant tasks.

On the second day of work, Jiang Cheng promptly held the first major meeting of the year.

In the large conference room, Jiang Cheng announced this year’s plan.

The food factory and cosmetic production lines needed new equipment, and what each department needed to do was arranged.

Jiang Cheng’s meetings were brief and to the point, never wasting words, so the employees didn’t dare to let their minds wander.

After the meeting, Jiang Cheng called in Li Chunxiang.

In the office, Li Chunxiang didn’t need to listen to know what Jiang Cheng wanted to do.

"How much do you need?"

"Still sharp as ever, Chief Housekeeper Li, how much do we have on the books?"

Jiang Cheng’s words made the nonchalant Li Chunxiang become much more serious.

"What’s the big move?"

Jiang Cheng just smiled without speaking, and Li Chunxiang immediately understood and said, "Don’t tell me, I’m afraid I’ll say it in my dreams."

"Seeing you like this, I know you intend to set someone up. But who do you plan to set up?"

Just as Li Chunxiang finished asking, Sun Aiguo knocked and entered.

"President Jiang, the plane tickets to Country R are booked, for 9:37 tomorrow morning. I’ll come to your house to pick you up at seven, is that alright?"

"Go ahead and arrange it."

Sun Aiguo responded affirmatively and left.

Li Chunxiang got up with instant understanding.

"Set them up well, I’ll prepare the money for you!"

"I’ll do my best."

Jiang Cheng answered, and Li Chunxiang said confidently, "Whenever you try your best, I already know half the battle is won."

The two exchanged knowing smiles and Li Chunxiang went out to prepare money for Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng sat in the office, endlessly simulating in her mind what might happen in Country R and how to deal with it.

She had no choice, for she had quite a few enemies in Country R.

Over the past five years, with a few rounds of exchanges, each time Country R had a layer of skin stripped off by her.

With other collaborators or otherwise, Jiang Cheng might leave some room, but with Country R, never.

Especially after Simon joined her side again, Country R must be going crazy.

Jiang Cheng sat in the office all afternoon, hardly moving.

To outsiders, it seemed like she did nothing, but those who understood her knew how much her mind was racing.

When it was time to leave work, Shen Que came to pick her up, and just by looking at her face, he knew she was mentally exhausted.

"Let’s go home."

"Okay."

Jiang Cheng’s face was a bit pale, and her mind felt swollen.

Shen Que drove steadily back, and Jiang Cheng was still strategizing and calculating, as if her soul was wandering outside, leaving only her shell moving.

Grandma Shen immediately knew Jiang Cheng was up to something big.

She didn’t disturb her, quickly went into the kitchen, and started stewing the blood bird’s nest and other tonics Shen Que had bought for Jiang Cheng.

Grandma Shen was worried as she stewed.

Once, Jiang Cheng wanted to strategize, and although she did not do any physical labor, with just mental labor, she lost ten pounds in half a month.

And that was while eating steadily.

Such continuous day-and-night thinking and planning really drained one’s energy.

That night, the Shen family was very quiet.

When it was time for bed, Shen Que came out of the bathroom to see Jiang Cheng leaning on the bed, her eyes nearly fixed on a single point.

He walked over gently without disturbing Jiang Cheng.

Though he felt sorry for her, he knew that if he broke Jiang Cheng’s concentration, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

In the early hours, around three in the morning, Jiang Cheng finally lay down and soon started snoring.

Shen Que quietly got up and tucked her in.

Less than two hours later, Jiang Cheng woke up.

The first thing she did upon waking was to grab the pen and notebook from the bedside table and write down symbols only she could understand.

Shen Que knew that this was Jiang Cheng without deep insomnia while sleeping, her brain continuously active, even her dreams would follow her thoughts.

After writing it down, her eyes seemed to brighten a bit as she joined everyone for a meal.

Before seven o’clock, Sun Aiguo arrived.

It was only then that Jiang Cheng realized she hadn’t packed her luggage.

"I packed it for you."

Shen came out with the suitcase and handed it to Sun Aiguo.

"These are your usual things. If you need anything, buy it there. Call if you have the time, otherwise protect yourself well."

Shen Que reminded her, and Jiang Cheng foolishly smiled, hugging Shen Que warmly.

"Okay!"

Shen Que patted Jiang Cheng’s back, sent her to the car, reminded the driver to drive slowly, and told Sun Aiguo to take good care of Jiang Cheng.

"Don’t worry, Brother Shen, I’ll protect President Jiang with my life!"

"No one’s asking for your life, you both just come back safely."

After Shen Que said this, he patted the car roof and the driver started the car and drove away.

Jiang Cheng rolled down the window, waved back at everyone, then sat back.

The car arrived at the airport on time. After going through security, Jiang Cheng boarded the plane with Sun Aiguo, Hua Ying, Zhao Chengde, bodyguard Xiao Li, and three tech staff.

A white line swept across the sky, heading to Country R.

At the same time, several people in Country R also received the news that Jiang Cheng was coming to discuss the cosmetic production line.

Matsuboto, Chi Lang, and others each showed smiles filled with resentment.

It was this Jiang Cheng who took George away.

It was this Jiang Cheng who fooled them into spending a lot of money!

It was this Jiang Cheng who took away the production line originally belonging to their Country R.

And that Lei Meng... baka yarou!

They were actually in cahoots!

"Alright, everyone must be very vigilant against Jiang Cheng. She is very cunning, and although she says she’s coming to buy a cosmetic production line, it might just be a guise – they’ve done this before."

"That’s right, those Hua Xia people are really cunning!"

"Don’t worry, this time we’ve made foolproof preparations. If she really dares to come, I’ll make sure to strip a layer of her skin before she leaves!"
