Gu Yanzhou couldn’t help but applaud. “You’re right. I’ll report this back to the R & D Department now.”
“It should be more than the R & D Department. The marketing department should come up with a program to fit the Chinese Valentine release.” Jiang Niansheng then picked up a perfume and sprayed it lightly. She sniffed it and said, “Perhaps you can add raspberries, Datura, and water lilies. It will make the scent sweeter.”
Gu Yanzhou took down notes.
“Speaking of, in flower language, Datura means seduction. Perhaps that can be used in the marketing campaign. Using this perfume can help you seduce any man you want.”
Sheng Hanye looked at her glowing confidence. Jiang Niansheng could always give him unexpected surprises.
“That’s perfect.” Gu Yanzhou praised. “I’ll have them update the release and marketing program immediately.”
“CEO Gu, you flatter me.”
Gu Yanzhou’s face was full of praise. “I’ll be leaving then.”
Sheng Hanye played with the perfume sample and said plainly, “There’s a release party for this perfume on Friday night. You’ll go with me.”
“Me? This isn’t within the responsibility of a secretary, right?”
“But it is within the responsibility of Mrs. Sheng.”
Jiang Niansheng was annoyed. “How long are you going to order me around like this?”
“Two years.” Sheng Hanye answered. “We are only beginning.”
“Sheng Hanye… You better hope that you won’t fall into my hands!”
“That day won’t come.” He picked up the phone on the desk. “Wei Lian, get someone to send over some evening gowns.”
“Yes, CEO Sheng.”
An hour later, five rows of hangers appeared in the President’s office.
Hanging on the hangers were the latest styles of gowns from the brand, Gao Ding. Each of them was worth six figures. They were inlaid with diamonds and outlined with gold threads. They were so beautiful that they looked like a work of art.
Sheng Hanye said lazily, “Pick the one you like.”
Jiang Niansheng knew this brand. When her father was still alive, he had given her one as a present. However, the Jiang family was not as wealthy as Sheng Hanye. The man had brought the whole latest season of gowns over.
“Pick anything I like?” Jiang Niansheng came up with a plan. “Are you sure?”
“Of course.”
She picked up a dress that exposed her shoulders, legs, and back. It was extremely revealing. “This one.”
Sheng Hanye raised his eyebrows. “You can pick anything you like, but you need to have my final nod.”
“But this dress is so pretty.” Jiang Niansheng said. “When I wear it to the party, I’ll stand out in the crowd. It’ll make you look good.”
“Do I need my wife to expose herself to make me look good?”
“I don’t care. I’m wearing this.”
Sheng Hanye’s eyes darkened. Just as he was about to speak, the office door creaked open. Both of them turned to the door.
“Hi.” Sheng Miaomiao waved her hand. “Am I disturbing something?” The girl just wanted to sneak a peek but she was instantly discovered the moment she opened the door.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to see my sister-in-law,” Sheng Miaomiao said matter-of-factly. “Why? You don’t allow it?”
‘So this is the second miss of the Sheng family.’ Jiang Niansheng thought she looked beautiful. Her eyes were pure and innocent. She was a well-protected little princess
“Sister-in-law.” Sheng Miaomiao came over. “What are you guys doing? Wow, this dress is gorgeous! Are you going to wear it? You’ll be the prettiest there!”
Sheng Miaomiao always wanted to see the world burn and Jiang Niansheng was there to ruin his life. When the two of them were combined together… The foundation of the Sheng family would be shaken to its core.
“You can pick any dress other than that.” Sheng Hanye snatched the dress away.
Sheng Miaomiao clicked her tongue. “Brother! What if sister-in-law wants to show a little skin? How can you be so conservative? I have no idea you’re so protective of sister-in-law.”
Jiang Niansheng also rolled her eyes. ‘He is not protective, he is possessive. He sees me as his private property and no one can look at me but him.’
Jiang Niansheng grabbed another dress and went to change.
Sheng Hanye crossed his arms and leaned against the desk.
Jiang Niansheng changed and walked out. She made a turn. “What about this one?”
“No, too short.”
Sheng Miaomiao retorted, “Sister-in-law has such beautiful legs, she should show them off!” But since Sheng Hanye said no, there was nothing they could do.
Onto the second dress…
Sheng Hanye said, “The neckline is too low.”
Sheng Miaomiao countered, “The dress has a V-line neck! Do you even know fashion?!”
And the third dress…
Sheng Hanye said, “The color is too eye-catching.”
Sheng Miaomiao countered, “The bright colors make sister-in-law fair skin pop!”
And the fourth, fifth, and sixth…
Jiang Niansheng felt like a model trying on clothes. Eventually, she got tired. She threw the last dress she had on at Sheng Hanye. “I’m not doing this anymore!”
Sheng Miaomiao moved to the side to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. But she didn’t forget to add, “I’m with sister-in-law. Brother, even I think you’ve gone too far!”
“You women have similar and horrible taste.” Sheng Hanye said plainly, “There are so many gowns, but you have to choose the least attractive ones.”
Jiang Niansheng and Sheng Miaomiao said in unison, “You’re the one with the bad taste!”
He glanced at the two of them and strode to the clothes rack. His slender fingers swept through them one by one, before stopping.
It was a white dress with a fishtail train. Under the illumination of the lights, the gold threads sparkled brilliantly. It was dignified and beautiful.
“This is the dress.” Sheng Hanye said, “Go and put it on.”
However, Jiang Niansheng pouted. “I don’t like white.”
Sheng Hanye was stunned for a moment. He looked dazed but he didn’t say anything. He grabbed the dress off the rack and tossed it to her.
Jiang Niansheng reluctantly went to put it on.
When she came out, Sheng Miaomiao gasped. Sheng Hanye’s gaze also changed.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Niansheng asked. “It doesn’t look good, right? I told you I don’t like white. This color doesn’t fit me.”
Sheng Miaomiao quickly explained, “No, sister-in-law. The dress is perfect on you but when you walk out in the gown, it immediately reminds me of someone…” She glanced at Sheng Hanye warily.
“Huh? Who?” Jiang Niansheng asked, “Do I look like her?”
Sheng Miaomiao waved her hand. “No, it’s nothing… She’s just a friend of mine.”
Jiang Niansheng didn’t ask further. She looked at Sheng Hanye, “Well, are you satisfied now?”
The man asked, “Why don’t you like white?”
“Must there be a reason? I don’t like it because I don’t like it.” Jiang Niansheng answered, “I’m born with a natural aversion to it. I feel uncomfortable just looking at this color.”
Sheng Hanye stared at her.
Jiang Niansheng felt that he was looking through her at someone else. ‘Who is he looking at… or thinking of? Is it the friend Sheng Miaomiao mentioned?’ The questions floated across Jiang Niansheng’s mind.
She asked carefully, “Was there someone…. who liked to wear white dresses?”
