Chapter 689: Chapter 298: You Have to Draw the Curtains When You’re with a Female Celebrity!
Zhang Jingdong lingered with Yan Ning for a while, afterward Yan Ning was worried that if she went downstairs, Yan Ran might notice something, so Zhang Jingdong went down alone.
As he went outside, the rain was already like a man talking during the fourth lesson – hardly any different from not falling at all.
He strolled leisurely out of the villa area and onto the main road.
He pondered a bit and then sent Chen Lu a text message: Are you asleep?
In less than ten seconds, Chen Lu replied: No, honey, I really miss you!
Zhang Jingdong’s heart warmed instantly: I remember asking you to pick a red bridal dress last time, did you?
Chen Lu: I did.
Zhang Jingdong: Get it out and put it on, I’m coming over now.
Chen Lu: Okay, waiting for you!
Zhang Jingdong put his phone back in his pocket and hailed a taxi.
After about ten minutes, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the complex.
After paying, Zhang Jingdong got out and entered the complex.
He arrived at Chen Lu’s door and rang the doorbell.
Soon the door opened, revealing Chen Lu in a red bridal dress.
Truth be told, although her looks and aura were slightly inferior to Yan Ning’s, the dress’s enhancement didn’t fall short of Yan Ning’s burgundy robe.
The most crucial thing is, Chen Lu truly fits the bride persona perfectly!
The unique charm of the dress was perfectly showcased on her.
Zhang Jingdong entered the room, casually closed the door, then gently held Chen Lu’s chin.
"Honey, I’m back!"
Chen Lu bit her lip, her face flushed with joy and shyness: "Honey, I’ve been waiting for you so long!"
"You look stunning tonight, this bridal dress completely highlights your beauty!"
Chen Lu felt sweetened by the praise: "I picked it out after a long search that day, feeling you would like it, so I chose it."
Zhang Jingdong lovingly kissed her lips: "Every night with you feels like the wedding night, honey, I love you to death!"
Chen Lu’s heart couldn’t help but heat up: "...I... I feel the same way."
Zhang Jingdong sensed the passion in her eyes and led her to the bathroom mirror.
Chen Lu seemed to guess what he wanted to do, her face immediately turned completely crimson.
He looked at her in the mirror, feeling her blush was just right, adding an indescribable allure.
Thus, the Heart Fire originally ignited with Yan Ning was now blazing intensely.
In the following three hours, Zhang Jingdong first explained the basic principles of cart pushing to Chen Lu.
Then he went to the bedroom to discuss the real secret of a fish gliding near the bottom.
Finally, they went to the balcony to talk about the highly challenging pigeon pose in yoga.
Almost two o’clock, they walked out of the bathroom, chatting and fostering sleep.
Zhang Jingdong then asked: "How have things been going lately?"
Chen Lu hesitated slightly, then said: "I... everything’s been fine."
Zhang Jingdong saw through her insincerity and said: "I’m your husband, if there’s any difficulty, don’t hide it from me."
"Otherwise, I won’t just think you’re sensible, but also feel you don’t trust your husband’s ability to solve problems."
Seeing Zhang Jingdong had figured it out, Chen Lu had to confess honestly: "Alright, actually... honey, I... want to change jobs."
"Can you share the reason?"
"You know my job requires frequently showing clients houses, and some clients... they aren’t harassing, but their looks often make me feel uncomfortable."
"Plus, they often talk about things beyond houses, using some conditions to tempt me."
Zhang Jingdong suddenly realized: "I see, then this job really isn’t suitable for you anymore. So do you want to change jobs, or do you just not want to work anymore?"
Chen Lu paused, then replied: "I still want to work; it’s important to stay connected with society."
But she didn’t want to trouble Zhang Jingdong, so she continued: "But don’t worry, I’ve been looking already, and have found two decent options."
"What kind of jobs are they?"
"One is an office clerk, and the other is sales, but telephone sales, no need to meet clients."
Zhang Jingdong wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulder, thought for a few seconds, then said: "Both jobs aren’t very good, how about I arrange a position for you?"
"I recently started a real estate company, you were in property sales before, it’s related to your expertise, so why not start as the vice president of this company."
Chen Lu was somewhat taken aback: "How can that be, I... I don’t know how to lead."
"You can learn; leadership isn’t hard to learn."
"But I... maybe not, I lack the ability for such a high position, I fear I might bring you negative impact."
Zhang Jingdong smiled, shook his head: "Rest assured, your most important role at this company is to let others know you belong to me."
"Others might have abilities, but they can never earn my full trust, whereas you can."
"Put it this way, I invested heavily in this company, you have some professional knowledge, and what you don’t know, you can learn gradually, so as long as you’re there, others will hesitate more before trying to fool me!"
"Understand?"
Chen Lu pondered a bit then nodded: "...I understand."
Seeing she agreed, Zhang Jingdong kissed her and said: "Tomorrow morning I’ll take you there to arrange everything, in the afternoon go resign."
