Chapter 297 - 111: Ge Qing’s Personal Customization, Lighting the Sky Lantern

Jiang Li spent nearly a full day designing the mamian skirts. A week later, she delivered them in person. Zhao Xia’s friend was exceptionally pleased and ordered six more, wanting to collect all seven colors.

As luck would have it, after the friend received all the mamian skirts, she posted a video. It ended up getting tens of millions of views, making Qingyan LAVUE even more popular—it even went viral internationally. Orders surged, and the factory workers were so busy their hands were practically smoking.

In response, Jiang Li generously announced, "Everyone gets an extra month’s salary."

The workers were happy, and so was she.

The workers were happy because they were getting two months’ pay. Jiang Li was happy because she would get a lot of money back in cashback.

When Shen Yanzhi heard about Jiang Li’s decision, he couldn’t help but tease, "So generous, President Jiang!"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and hooked a finger under Shen Yanzhi’s chin. "So, do you want to work for President Jiang?"

Shen Yanzhi’s eyes narrowed. He wrapped his arm around Jiang Li’s waist, his tone flirtatious. "Work where? In bed?"

Jiang Li shot Shen Yanzhi an exasperated look. "Seriously, how do you manage to turn every topic into *that*?"

Shen Yanzhi blinked innocently. "Can’t be helped. My wife is a goddess."

Jiang Li’s face flushed red in an instant. She lightly punched Shen Yanzhi’s chest. "You’re so improper."

Shen Yanzhi was just about to show Jiang Li exactly what "improper" meant when the phone on the nightstand started ringing.

He let out an audible TSK. "Seriously, who’s calling you at this hour?"

Jiang Li patted Shen Yanzhi’s arm. He reluctantly let go, and she shrugged. "How should I know?"

She picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Cao Wenzhou.

Cao Wenzhou had actually made an effort to stay on Jiang Li’s radar from time to time, so her impression of him was quite good.

Especially since Cao Wenzhou had gifted an engraved gold bar for Shen Shiyu’s 100-day celebration.

Although it wasn’t particularly heavy, it was the thought that counted.

As soon as the call connected, Cao Wenzhou chuckled and said, "President Jiang, it’s me, Cao Wenzhou."

Jiang Li got straight to the point. "Manager Cao, is there something you need, calling so late?"

Cao Wenzhou stated his purpose. "Didn’t you mention last time that I should let you know if there was a charity auction? As it happens, there’s one a week from now. Would you be interested in attending?"

"Of course," Jiang Li said without hesitation.

Cao Wenzhou asked tentatively, "Shall I bring the invitation over to you tomorrow, then?"

"Yes, but please try to come around noon."

Shen Shiyu napped in the morning and afternoon, so it wasn’t a convenient time.

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhou laughed. "Alright, no problem. I’ll see you tomorrow, then."

No matter the time, whatever Jiang Li said, went.

After all, Jiang Li had bought a one-billion-yuan fund through him. Never mind noon—even if she’d told him to come at midnight, it would have been fine.

Once Jiang Li hung up, Shen Yanzhi walked over, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Who’s coming over tomorrow?" he asked suspiciously.

"Cao Wenzhou, a bank manager."

Shen Yanzhi asked thoughtfully, "The manager from when you set up that fund?"

"Mhm."

Shen Yanzhi was confused. "What’s he coming over for? To get you to buy another fund?"

"No, he’s dropping off an invitation." Before Shen Yanzhi could ask, Jiang Li explained, "There’s a charity auction in a week, and I’m going."

Hearing that, Shen Yanzhi began toying with Jiang Li’s fingernails, his tone brightening. "You bought so much last time. What are you planning to bid on this time?"

Jiang Li spread her hands. "I don’t even know what the auction items are yet. How would I know what I’m going to bid on?"

She turned to face Shen Yanzhi. "Do you want to go with me?"

"Can I?"

Instead of answering, Jiang Li retorted, "If you can’t, who can?"

Shen Yanzhi grinned. "In that case, I’ll be sure to be the perfect arm candy."

"But for now," Shen Yanzhi began, trailing off. He just wiggled his eyebrows at Jiang Li, his gaze full of meaning.

Even after having a child, Jiang Li still got a little shy.

But shyness aside, she wasn’t one to refuse something that would bring her both physical and mental pleasure.

’Okay, the main reason is that I can’t say no to him.’

Don’t be fooled by how he usually went along with whatever she wanted; in certain matters, he was absolutely resolute.

It was just a question of how many times.

「A week passed.」

A little after four in the afternoon, Jiang Li took the invitation and left the house with Shen Yanzhi.

Jiang Li didn’t dress up extravagantly. Instead, she wore a white sweater with a jade sweater chain, a brown double-faced cashmere coat, black sharkskin pants, and a pair of tall, brown leather boots.
