Chapter 47 - 47: As Long as You’re Good, I’m Worried
“Rest assured, i have the authentic and best quality. You can choose freely.” Jing Chenxi immediately smiled and reassured her.
Shen Ning fell silent for a moment before saying, “Mr. Jing, i can offer a high price to buy from you.”
Implicitly, she hoped to alleviate his emotions with money.
Jing Chenxi’s eyes dimmed slightly, fully understanding her intentions. He sighed in resignation and nodded.
“Then, Mr. Jing, can you show me the Peruvian balsam?” Shen Ning had no intention of sitting down and having tea; she stood up immediately.
“Of course.”
Jing Chenxi didn’t say much; he just led her towards a warehouse at the back.
A little while later, Shen Ning was filled with excitement.
She had finally found the fragrance she needed. It was impossible not to be grateful.
With these ingredients, she now had the confidence for the tea gathering next Friday.
Jing Chenxi was considerate. He not only provided her with a substantial amount of raw materials but also many semi-finished products, allowing Shen Ning to focus on blending.
“Ning Ning, where have you been these years?” After carefully wrapping the Peruvian balsam himself, he handed it to Shen Ning and couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Ning avoided his gaze and replied calmly, “I went to the United States, worked and studied there for a few years.”
Jing Chenxi’s eyes held a hint of pain, and he spoke regretfully, “Six years ago, when I heard the news of your death, I was heartbroken. 1 used to go to the beach every day, hoping for a miracle, but 1 never believed that you had truly died.”
Shen Ning looked down at her toes without saying a word.
“Ning Ning, are you facing financial difficulties now?” After a moment, he cautiously asked.
“No, I’m not struggling.” Shen Ning lifted her head. “I now own fifty percent of Gu Qi’s shares and am an internationally renowned perfumer. I’m living quite well.”
“That’s good.” Jing Chenxi nodded. “As long as you’re well, I’m at ease.”
“Thank you.” Shen Ning turned and walked towards the exit. “Mr. Jing, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Ning Ning.” Jing Chenxi caught up with her. “How did you get here?”
“I came with a colleague.”
As they stepped outside, Secretary Li was waiting for her. She noticed the balsam in Shen Ning’s hands, and her eyes lit up.
Shen Ning immediately bid farewell to Jing Chenxi and left with Secretary Li.
“President Shen, 1 didn’t expect you to know Mr. Jing. This is great news. We don’t have to worry about raw materials for Gu Qi’s perfumes anymore.” As soon as they left, Secretary Li playfully joked.
In the perfume industry, raw materials were vital. With this backing, Gu Qi would undoubtedly have a bright future.
“What nonsense are you thinking? You still have to rely on yourself for everything.” Shen Ning corrected her firmly.
“President Shen, have you known Mr. Jing for a long time? Were you childhood friends or something like that?” Secretary Li’s interest clearly extended beyond this matter. She suppressed a smile and tried to gather more information.
Shen Ning shook her head, “No, it’s not like that. My mother used to be a perfumer and had dealings with the Jing family. That’s how 1 got to know him early on.”
“Oh.” Secretary Li didn’t seem to completely believe her and cleared her throat, speaking earnestly, “President Shen, Mr. Jing is considered a ‘golden son-in-law’ in the hearts of many women in the capital. I can see that his gaze towards you is different. He definitely has an interest in you. You should seize this opportunity. Not only is Jing Chenxi from a wealthy family, but he’s also truly handsome!”
As she spoke, envy was evident in her eyes.
Shen Ning couldn’t help but laugh. “So, do you want to date him? Should I introduce you?”
“No, how could he be interested in me?” Secretary Li was frightened and dared not tease anymore.
They chatted and laughed as they returned to the company.
Once back at the office, Shen Ning closed the door and began to work busily.
With the raw materials at hand, these tasks were not difficult for her. By the time she finished work, she had already successfully blended several new variations of her fragrances.
Feeling joyful, she planned to pick up Coco and Xiaoxiao from Blue Sky Kindergarten herself and buy them some delicious treats on the way to nourish them..
