Chapter 1690 It is precisely because we are young that we should enjoy more.
She had actually already gotten off work at this time.
She is now in the car because she is chatting with her former colleague.
"Don't you feel lonely in the beautiful country?"
Xiao Wen on the other end of the phone sighed, his voice a little tired: "That's it, I face a bunch of data reports every day. It's okay when I'm busy, but I miss home very much when I'm free. Do you still remember the late-night restaurant we used to go to? Now I can't even have a bowl of hot wonton noodles. I have to eat sandwiches every day. I'm about to vomit."
"Then you might as well come back to China. Now, I can just turn a corner after get off work and eat freshly-baked dumplings. They're much better than sandwiches."
"Haha, you're right, I do miss the delicious food back home," the other person replied with a smile. "I've thought about returning to China, but as you know, the work intensity back home is quite high, with frequent overtime. I'm a little worried I won't be able to adapt. I'm also afraid that once I go back, it'll be difficult to return to the United States. I even received a bonus at Christmas a few months ago, and now large investment companies in China all have their own investment advisors. If I go back now, it might take some time to adjust..."
Zhao Linger tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips and continued, "How much was your Christmas bonus? Is it enough for you to buy a plane ticket and have a few nice meals back home?"
Xiao Wen laughed, a little proudly: "Twenty thousand US dollars, not too little, right? It's a pretty good benefit here."
"Twenty thousand?" Zhao Linger's voice rose slightly, sounding like a casual sigh. "That's indeed... a little more than the bonus I received for the project last month."
There was a momentary silence on the other end of the line. Two seconds later, Xiao Wen's voice was incredibly urgent: "What did you say? A small change? How much was your project bonus last month?"
"Not much," Zhao Linger said deliberately, understating it, tapping the steering wheel lightly with her fingers. "Just over a million, pure bonus, not including base salary."
"Over a million?!" Xiao Wen's voice practically jumped out of the receiver. "Ling'er, are you kidding me? Salaries in China are so high now? Which company do you work for?"
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Zhao Linger slowly spoke, "I'm working at Xingchen now. You should have heard of me, right? We're expanding into overseas markets recently, and we need people like you who understand the American market. I don't have to look at financial statements every day anymore. Last month, I even led a small team. At the end of the year, I get a bonus and dividends."
Xiao Wen's breathing became noticeably heavier, and his tone was a little hesitant. "Xingchen... I've heard of this, but isn't overwork in China famous? I'm afraid my body can't handle the constant work. Besides, I've been here for three years, and I'll have to adapt all over again when I go back. What if I don't do well..."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Linger interrupted his concerns directly, her tone firm. "Those overseas mergers and acquisitions you handled back then were unique experiences in China. Xingchen is vying for people like you right now! And speaking of overtime, our company is busy, but we never do useless overtime. Once a project is completed, we can leave on time. Isn't it better than you staying up late every day in the United States and not getting overtime pay?"
She paused, then softened her tone, as if confiding in a friend. "Think about it. If you work there for another five years, at best you'll be promoted to a senior analyst, still dealing with data every day. But at Xingchen, you'll start as a department manager, managing people and leading projects. If the company goes public, you might even get options—an opportunity you'll never get in the United States."
"Besides, haven't your parents been looking forward to your return?" Zhao Linger added the final blow. "Last year, your mother complained to me that you didn't come home for the Spring Festival and there wasn't even anyone at home to put up Spring Festival couplets. Now that you're back, you can earn a high salary, work hard for your future, and be with your parents. Isn't that better than being all alone over there?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Xiao Wen's determined voice came: "You're right... I really should think about myself and my parents..."
"Xiao Wen, you were the best analyst in our group back then. What China needs now is elites like you who understand the overseas market."
At this point, Zhao Linger added, "Our company is currently recruiting for a head of overseas business, and you immediately came to mind. However, I heard from the HR department that they had received many excellent resumes, so I just mentioned it casually."
Xiaowen and Zhao Linger used to work together.
Now that Star Company is on the rise, it naturally needs more and more talents.
Chen Xueer has recently been using her connections to contact some of her former colleagues or competitors.
So Zhao Linger has also been contacting some colleagues recently.
It was morning in the United States when I got off work.
So Zhao Linger called the other party.
As soon as I got into the car and chatted for a few words, I saw that the Cullinan parked diagonally opposite me was actually Jiang Cheng's car.
It’s not like Zhao Linger had never ridden in Jiang Cheng’s car before, but Jiang Cheng always drove a supercar before.
But what surprised her was Jiang Cheng and Yu Xiaoxiao.
Although Zhao Linger and Yu Xiaoxiao's relationship is not as close as Chen Xueer and Yu Xiaoxiao.
But because of Chen Xueer, they would occasionally have lunch together.
But the other beauty was wearing a mask, so Zhao Linger couldn't tell who she was for a while.
Through the car window glass and the somewhat dim vision.
Zhao Linger leaned forward suddenly to see more clearly.
The hem of her cotton skirt rose a little as she moved, and the plump curve of her chest was particularly obvious because of the forward-leaning posture squeezed by the back of the seat.
Before his elbows could support the steering wheel, the two piles of flesh on his chest accidentally pressed on the horn.
"Di-"
A sharp whistle suddenly exploded in the parking lot in the evening.
Jiang Cheng, who was about to open the car door diagonally opposite, paused and subconsciously turned his head towards the sound.
His sight passed through the half-lowered car window and happened to meet Zhao Linger, who was craning her neck and looking at him with a curious look.
I saw that she still had a Bluetooth headset on her ear and her other hand was raised in the air, obviously she was still on the phone.
Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed across his eyes, and he stopped.
Being caught "peeping" by the boss on the spot, the curious expression on Zhao Linger's face froze instantly.
Instead, there was a sudden awkwardness.
After hurriedly sitting up straight, he pulled out a slightly stiff smile.
She swore she really didn't mean it.
Although he always plays around with Jiang Cheng.
But which employee would honk at the boss when he is surrounded by women?
Isn't this a complete provocation?
Unless you don't want this job anymore.
Damn, it’s all because of these breasts.
Zhao Linger continued with her somewhat socially deadpan laugh and waved awkwardly in Jiang Cheng's direction.
He didn't even bother to respond to Xiao Wen's voice on the other end of the phone asking "Why is there a horn sound suddenly?"
After closing the car door that had just been opened, Jiang Cheng walked towards Zhao Linger's car.
Seeing this, Zhao Linger hurriedly said a few words to Xiao Wen and immediately hung up the phone.
After asking her to hang up the phone, Jiang Cheng leaned over and rested his elbows on the car window.
Forced a smile: "Ling'er, why did you call me over?"
Zhao Linger then laughed dryly: "This... If I say I pressed it accidentally, would you believe it, Mr. Jiang?"
"What a coincidence??"
"Haha, yes, it's mainly because I'm a little nearsighted. I forgot to bring my contact lenses today, and I couldn't see clearly just now, so I wanted to take a closer look. I didn't expect that..."
As Zhao Linger explained, Jiang Cheng's eyes followed her words and swept down.
The hand that fell on her folded legs slowly moved in front of her.
The heater was on in the car, and Zhao Linger had already taken off her coat and put it on the passenger seat.
Just wear an off-white stand-collar knitted camisole.
She was still wearing the Bulgari necklace that Jiang Cheng had given her last time.
The soft fabric was stretched taut by the heavy curve of her chest, and even the delicate lines on the fabric were clearly visible.
As expected of a figure with 98 points of milk.
If this happened to A, Jiang Cheng might have doubts about B.
But for the G-Class, it is very reasonable that it will be squeezed by just a slight lean.
"So that's how it is," she said, looking away with a hint of a smile on her lips. "Now that you put it that way, I can understand. It seems having big breasts does have its advantages. I just honked the horn as soon as I got close, saving me the trouble of using my hands."
The sarcasm in these words was so obvious that Zhao Linger's cheeks instantly flushed.
However, seeing that Jiang Cheng was angry because of her honking the horn, she felt relieved.
After relaxing, he joked, "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be so talkative and enjoy life so much at such a young age."
As she said this, her eyes quickly glanced at Cullinan not far away.
He even reached out and waved to Yu Xiaoxiao who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng opened Zhao Linger's character scan information.
[Name: Zhao Linger]
[Age: 24 years old]
[Height: 168 cm]
[Appearance: 88]
[Stature: 98]
【Privacy: 0】
[Friendliness value: 89]
[Loyalty: 120 (Absolute Loyalty)]
So when he knew that he was surrounded by girls, Zhao Linger's friendliness value didn't change at all.
interesting.
Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in her words, Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows instead.
His tone was very calm: "It is precisely because we are young that we should seize the opportunity to enjoy life. When we are old and can't move, we won't have the chance to enjoy ourselves anymore."
These words made Zhao Linger stutter for a moment, and the rebuttal that was on the tip of her tongue suddenly couldn't come out.
