Chapter 2 The Next Day.
The sky had just begun to lighten when Jiang Ziyu emerged from her room. With no servants at home, she had to wake early to prepare breakfast for the children.
Part of it was to ensure a balanced diet for Qianqian's health. Another part was that Jiang Ziyu didn't trust others.
People were complex, and without strong personal connections, it was easy for them to change for the sake of money.
As she passed the guest room, she glanced at the closed door. Wondering if Di Mingjue had woken up, Jiang Ziyu decided to head downstairs first to start the porridge.
The outside gradually brightened, and the aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen.
Qianqian, having dressed herself, came out of her room. She saw the note on the coffee table, picked it up, and brought it to the kitchen.
"What?" Jiang Ziyu took the note from Qianqian in confusion.
At first, she thought Qianqian had written it. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was from Di Mingjue, left that morning.
He had already left?
Glancing at the time, it was only seven in the morning.
Had he left in the middle of the night yesterday? Jiang Ziyu made a guess, then tossed the note into the trash can. "Go wash up first. Mommy will go find your brothers and call them up for breakfast."
Qianqian nodded obediently and headed towards the bathroom.
After breakfast, Jiang Ziyu personally drove them to kindergarten. Afterward, she took their breakfast to the company.
It had been a while, but the company was as usual. However, in the elevator, Jiang Ziyu overheard some explosive news.
"I heard there was a thief in the company!"
"Are you kidding? The company's security system is so good, how could there be a thief?"
"Exactly. Everything looks normal to me. It doesn't look like a thief has been here."
Her words not only failed to gain trust but were met with mockery.
Unwilling to back down, the informant said mysteriously, "Just you wait. In a day or two, you'll realize I was right."
The more she insisted, the less people believed her.
Soon, the elevator arrived. They left with laughter and chatter, leaving Jiang Ziyu alone in the elevator.
The so-called theft was not what people commonly understood as theft. It seemed the Di Jue Group was about to undergo major changes.
Upon arriving at the CEO's office, Shen Lin and Di Mingjue were engrossed in a discussion, heads close together. Their debate was so intense that they didn't notice Jiang Ziyu entering.
Smelling the food, Shen Lin turned around and saw Jiang Ziyu already sitting on the sofa, having waited for some time.
"Would you like to share something, Assistant Shen?" Jiang Ziyu invited.
She had brought more food than needed, and given Di Mingjue's appetite, he couldn't possibly eat it all alone.
Shen Lin glanced at Di Mingjue. A growl from his stomach made his cheeks flush crimson. "No, thank you. I've already eaten. President Di, I'll get back to work."
Making an excuse, Shen Lin fled as if escaping a disaster.
Jiang Ziyu looked at the food in the insulated box and asked Di Mingjue, "What's wrong with Assistant Shen?"
Was she too intimidating today, or did the food look suspicious?
Di Mingjue walked over to her and popped a meat dumpling into his mouth. "Why are you here?"
"I saw you hadn't eaten breakfast and worried you might overwork yourself by being too busy," Jiang Ziyu retorted without hesitation.
His health needed to be well-maintained during this period, in preparation for any eventuality.
Unaware of her underlying thoughts, Di Mingjue interpreted her words as concern for him. A flutter of excitement in his heart led to a violent coughing fit.
Jiang Ziyu handed him some tissues.
"Jiang Wenbin will be here shortly. Do you want to meet him?" Di Mingjue asked, regaining control of his cough.
Intelligence from their informants indicated that Di Dongsheng had invited Jiang Wenbin to Di Jue Group. Ostensibly for cooperation between the two companies, it was merely a formality, but in reality, it was a show of force against Di Mingjue.
Since Jiang Ziyu was here, the decision to meet or not rested solely on her word.
"Yes," Jiang Ziyu replied, her expression stern.
This trip was not in vain. She was eager to see how Jiang Wenbin would ingratiate himself with Di Dongsheng, relying on him to rescue the dying Jiang Corporation.
