Chapter 1158: Buy Something For My Boyfriend (1/2)
Everything was fine during the inspection. The factory management was meticulous in following Orchidia Beauty's safety standards and quality control, especially since both Iris and Chen Fei who did the inspections before were both strict.
Iris treated people nicely but she was also very straightforward in pointing out any mistakes or deviations from her vision for her business. Her perfectionism was the most severe among the so-called Orchidia Beauty's trinity of goddesses. Since she was a perfectionist, she held high expectations of everyone working for her company. She had no qualms temporarily shutting down the entire factory if she ever found any problems that might lower the quality of Orchidia Beauty's products.
Similarly, Chen Fei had an innate bossy personality. She liked being in control and not afraid to show it to everyone. Like Iris, she was also very blunt but her words were much more poisonous. The factory employees were actually more afraid of her than Iris because of her vicious tongue. Despite this, she never crossed the line into verbal abuse territory. She knew her limits.
Compared to the two of them, Long Jinjing was considered to be the gentlest and most reasonable among the executives of Orchidia Beauty. Only when money was involved that she would turn fierce.
The factory manager looked relieved that it was her who came to do the inspection today. There would be no critiques in improving the already high standards in the factory from President Iris Long and no severe tongue lashing from COO Chen Fei. Nevertheless, Long Jinjing still took the inspection seriously and followed the official protocol.
After ensuring that everything in the factory was within Orchidia Beauty's high standards, Long Jinjing said goodbye to everyone and left. Robin was waiting for her outside with the car.

”Where to, Miss Jinjing?” Robin asked.
Long Jinjing looked at the time on her wristwatch. It was already late in the afternoon. There was no point in returning to the company because she already completed all her tasks today. She could go home now but thought of something. She smiled.
”Please drive me to the grocery store,” she said.
”Okay, Miss Jinjing.”
The car started moving. Long Jinjing fished out her phone from her purse and called Lu Zihao. There was no answer. She pursed her lips but didn't feel disappointed. After all, he was doing important work by catching the accomplices in the bombing accident. She didn't attempt to call him a second time, but just as she returned her phone inside her purse, he called her. She immediately answered.
”What's wrong?” he asked.
”N-nothing. I just missed you.”
Silence.
”Uhm, sorry for disturbing you. I just want to ask if you'll still be able to make it for our date tonight. If not, it's okay….”
”I'll make it tonight but I might be late. At your place, right?”
”Yes….”
”Hm.” There was some muffled noises on his side.
”I won't disturb you anymore. Continue what you're doing. But please stay safe, okay?”
