After hearing this, Jiang Wan Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she said, “I need to consult her opinion about this.”
No matter what the motive behind getting Chi Zaozao to sign with the company was from Yi Lingfeng. As long as it benefits Chi Zaozao’s career, there’s no reason not to agree.
“Alright,” Yi Lingfeng replied with a warm smile.
Then he asked, “By the way, there’s a business gala tomorrow night, and I need a female companion. Would you accompany me?”
Jiang Wan Yu had plans to establish connections with some old acquaintances from the Jiang family during the event, so she nodded, “Sure.”
“I’ll have the dress and everything prepared in advance,” Yi Lingfeng added.
“Okay,” Jiang Wan Yu replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
It was just work.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
“Boss, are you attending the business gala tomorrow night?” Xu Ce handed Lin Yi Chen his schedule.
Without lifting his head, Lin Yi Chen replied, “I won’t go.”
He was too busy with the recent developments concerning the Mu Ye team; he didn’t have time for these boring banquets.
Hesitating for a moment after hearing that, Xu Ce asked, “If you don’t go, what if Madam decides to attend? Madam is currently Yi Lingfeng’s assistant, and it’s very likely that he’ll have her as his female companion.”
At this remark, Lin Yi Chen raised his head, and his expression stern.
“Then let her go,” Lin Yi Chen said with a cold tone.
If Yi Lingfeng wanted to have Jiang Wan Yu as his female companion at the gala, what would he introduce her as? He would never be foolish enough to announce in front of everyone that he and Wan Yu had married abroad.
Xu Ce blinked when he heard this, then asked, “Are you saying we should prevent Yi Ling Feng from going or prevent Madam?”
Lin Yi Chen gave him a “you’re being foolish” look and said, “Of course, it’s Xiaoyu who shouldn’t go. Where Yi Ling Feng wants to go is none of my business.”
Xu Ce was left without words.
“But how do we stop Madam from attending?” Xu Ce inquired.
“Have Dian Dian’s school teacher call Xiaoyu and tell her that something has happened to Dian Dian,” Lin Yi Chen said straightforwardly.
In his mind, he mentally applauded his boss’ strategic thinking.
Very clever.
Considering how much Wan Yu cared about Dian Dian, there was no way she would leave him behind to attend a gala.
“Understood!” Xu Ce immediately nodded.
The next evening at 6 o’clock.
After finishing a busy day of work, Jiang Wan Yu went to the studio under Yi Lingfeng’s name for her styling. The gala was set to begin at 7:30 PM, and Yi Lingfeng would come to pick her up at 7 PM.
Sitting in front of the mirror while the makeup artist worked on her, Jiang Wan Yu made a phone call to Dian Dian’s teacher, wanting to video call to check on Dian Dian’s situation.
The daycare center allowed children to stay until 9 PM but because of Lin Yi Chen’s warning about being watched, she wasn’t completely at ease now.
The call was quickly connected.
“Ms. Jiang, don’t worry. Dian Dian is being very well-behaved right now. He’s already had his dinner and is currently enjoying some peanut nougat that the principal gave him before leaving.” Dian Dian’s teacher said with a smile.
Jiang Wan Yu was initially relieved, but then her brain suddenly went blank, and she immediately stood up from her chair.
“What did you say? Dian Dian is eating peanut nougat? He’s allergic to peanuts!” said Jiang Wan Yu while her voice filled with anxiety.
“What?” Dian Dian’s teacher also became worried and quickly went over to Dian Dian. She asked, “Dian Dian, have you eaten the candy?”
Before Dian Dian could respond, she saw a piece of nougat paper on the ground.
“Ms. Jiang, I see a piece of peeled nougat paper…” the teacher said uneasily.
Jiang Wan Yu couldn’t remain calm any longer.
“Teacher Li, could you please promptly take Dian Dian to the nearest hospital? I’ll arrive within thirty minutes!” Jiang Wan Yu said urgently.
“Alright! I’ll go right away!” Teacher Li replied promptly.
