Chapter 21: Job introduction

“Jingjing, isn’t your house that way?” Wang Chao spoke to Cao Jingjing as they walked after realizing this wasn’t the regular way back to her home.

“My family has several houses. My dad bought them a few years back. He said that house prices were appreciating, so it was time to invest. He also said that as a police officer, he has arrested many men who would want revenge. So a few more hiding spots would be good. After the events that day, I moved here.” Cao Jingjing spoke with a mischievous look in her eye.

“Even a rabbit has three burrows, but he has multiple homes to hide in…” Wang Chao couldn’t help but laugh at his thoughts before nodding.

“What bad thoughts are you making up now? You’re definitely badmouthing my dad.” Cao Jingjing stopped before giving Wang Chao a look.

“Ha, you can see even that?” Wang Chao was surprised before thinking, “No wonder men say that a woman’s intuition is the scariest. It seems the rumors are true.”

“Hmph, with the many plots your scheming of inside, do you think I wouldn’t be able to see through it?” Cao Jingjing spoke with a proud smile.

“Woah, car!” Wang Chao didn’t wish to spend anymore time nagging about this and hurriedly ran over to the bus. From there, they traveled to a rather luxurious neighborhood.

This neighborhood was the most recent developed district where many influential companies had bought. The location was quite nice and had sold for 4000 or 5000 RMB a square. Naturally, compared to Tang Zichen’s villa in Lake Tianxing, this was nothing much. But even like this, Wang Chao’s family wouldn’t be able to afford even a kitchen and toilet even if they sold everything.

“Eh? Why isn’t it miss Jingjing.” Just as the two were waiting for the elevator, the doors opened, revealing a rather pudgy middle aged man and a heavily dressed up woman with cherry red lips and a alluring figure.

“Uncle Zhang!” Cao Jingjing spoke, “What business did you have here?”

“I heard that your father was getting better, so I came to congratulate him. This is Aria.” With that, the man called uncle Zhang motioned for the woman behind him.

“I didn’t think that Jingjing would grow so beautiful. Aunty doesn’t have anything to give, but since this is our first time meeting, take this for your new year gift.” Aria spoke with a smile before taking a precious jeweled ring. “Here, this is for you.”

This ring had an illustrious glow of a sapphire, showing that this ring was worth a decent sum of money.

“Aunty Aria, I can’t have this.” Cao Jingjing secretly gave Wang Chao a look as she placed her hands behind her back, “Uncle Zhang, you work so hard to earn money while being friends with my father. There isn’t a need to spend money on me, I will happily accept your kindness and pass it on to my father. They say that a friendship between gentlemen is as inseparable as water. My father is a good police officer, he and you do not need any gifts to remain so, isn’t that right? While this is a nice gift, there is no need for such a thing.”

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment as was the lady Aria. At first he had been embarrassed, but hearing Cao Jingjing’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Haha, Jingjing has quite the future ahead of her.” Uncle Zhang nodded his head in approval. “Cao Yi has a good daughter. Jingjing, when you get accepted into Tsinghua University, then your uncle will congratulate you then.”

“En, then it’s a deal, don’t go back on your promise!” Cao Jingjing waved the two people away before joining Wang Chao in the elevator.

“Cao Jingjing really knows how to behave herself? Why didn’t I see this behavior before?” When Wang Chao saw this, he felt as if he had gained a new layer of understanding of her.

The elevator stopped at the 28th floor as Cao Jingjing opened the door with her card and passed through a wall of glass. This was the living room, but as they walked into the corridors, Wang Chao’s eyes lit up at the expansive place.

“Dad, I brought Wang Chao!” Cao Jingjing swapped out her outdoor shoes for a cute bunny slipper before calling out to her father.

“Come into the sports room!” Came out the loud voice of Cao Yi.

“Hmph, you can go in by yourself, I’ll be in my room studying. The sports room is over there.” Cao Jingjing pointed before turning away and walking to her own room before closing the door behind her.

Slowly walking for the direction Jingjing pointed him to, he saw a room that was presumably the sports room.
