Chapter 794 - Afterglow

She was in her office reading the company’s latest financial reports and frowned at one section. Alric Bauer was once again asking for additional funds for his current experimental product. It seemed like his latest attempt failed yet again. Although her sister Xiulan said right from the start to give Alric’s product development department top priority of funds, Long Jinjing still needed to control his spending or he would end up blowing the company’s money with all his experiments. It seemed that she needed to have a word with him again.

Sighing, she checked her schedule to find the best time to—

The door to her office opened, interrupting her mid-task. Her best friend, Chen Fei, strode in while greeting her good morning and carrying two cups of latte.

"Good morning to you too and thanks, Xiao Fei," Long Jinjing said after her friend gave her a latte.

"That’s COO Chen for you, CFO Long," Chen Fei corrected. "We’re in the workplace. We can’t be too casual or else others will look down on us. We, the executives, need to set an example for our employees. Even your sister, that bitch—I mean, even President Long who looks like she’s the most casual at work is actually the strictest among us. Good thing that she hasn’t been here in the past few days to take care of her man or else she’ll continue to involuntary make the rest of us feel inadequate with her being such a workaholic and all that. Ugh! Just watching her work never fails to make me so tired."

Long Jinjing chuckled. "True. Little Sister Xiu—I mean, President Long has an excellent work ethic. She’s a great example for us to follow."

"What great example?" Chen Fei grumbled. "We’ll all die of exhaustion and overwork if we follow a workaholic like her."

Long Jinjing only smiled as she sipped her latte. She was about to discuss one of the reports with Chen Fei but her best friend spoke first, talking about something else not related to work.

"By the way, why are you dressed like that? All you need is a robber’s mask and you’ll be covered from head to toe."

"Uhm, I’m feeling a little cold," Long Jinjing said in a soft, uncomfortable voice as she looked down at her business attire today—long-sleeved turtleneck under her business jacket, long pants, and black leather boots.

Chen Fei was correct. She was indeed covered from head to toe. Although she also didn’t want to dress like this, she had to because how else was she going to cover up all the hickeys on her body?

"Winter is coming soon," Chen Fei said. "It’s indeed getting colder, not to mention that it’s flu season. Take care of your health. We’re very busy right now preparing for our year-end launches and big sales. I don’t want your sister bitching at us for missing work."

"Little Sis—President Long never bitches at us about work. She discusses issues with us."

Chen Fei shrugged. "Whatever. In my imagination, she bitches."

Long Jinjing sighed, shaking her head. However, she was still very happy at how far their relationship with her sister had developed. Her best friend still hated her sister only a few months ago and yet here they were now, close friends and also colleagues at an increasingly successful start-up company.

"There’s something different about you today." Chen Fei peered at her up and down with squinted eyes. As if that wasn’t enough, her friend even started walking around her.

Nervousness fluttered inside Long Jinjing. "W-what?"

"Hmmm..."

"Stop it, Xiao Fei. What are you doing? Sit down."

"You look...hmmm." Chen Fei tapped her chin as she continued studying her. "You look blooming. Suspicious, suspicious."

Long Jinjing gave a nervous laugh.

"What did you do to look that good despite your horrible outfit today? Are you keeping a secret from me? Hm?"

Long Jinjing’s heart jumped. Sometimes she wished that her best friend wasn’t so observant. "What are you talking about? It’s time to work, COO Chen."

Chen Fei stopped in front of her and leaned closer, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Did Alric give you a new experimental product without telling me? That’s why you look so good? Hmph! How dare he give samples to you but not to me? This is favouritism! I’ll complain to our President-CEO!"

Relief flooded Long Jinjing. She laughed.

Their conversation was interrupted when Chen Fei’s assistant knocked on the door and informed them that Jin Chonglin was on the phone. He wanted to make some changes to his men’s line.

"What?!! Again?!!!" Chen Fei roared. "That little— How many times has he made changes now?! What an indecisive diva! Argh!! We already pushed back the launch date of his men’s line so many times to accommodate the many changes he made and you’re telling me that he still wants to change something again?!! Ah!!! I’m so stressed!!!"

Long Jinjing also sighed at the situation. If they kept pushing back Jin Chonglin’s first batch of products in his exclusive men’s line with Orchidia Beauty, they wouldn’t be able to release it until next year. She would need to redo her year-end financial projections if that was the case.

"Go talk to him, COO Chen," she said. "I’ll call President Long and ask her to talk some sense to Mr. Jin Chonglin. She’s her brother-in-law. Maybe she could persuade him to make up his mind soon."

"Hmph! If that diva man wasn’t a superstar, I would’ve already decked him in the face a long time ago." Chen Fei said a quick goodbye and left while continuing to complain about Jin Chonglin.

Long Jinjing released a big sigh of relief. She was glad that Chen Fei didn’t continue questioning her about why she was "blooming". Did sexual afterglow last days after the deed?

Shaking her head, she focused on her work, completely pushing the image of Lu Zihao out of her mind.
