Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 624: Chapter 654: It Can Be Called an Awakening

"I’ve seen that you’re doing quite well in the sales department. And since you like a challenge, what could be more challenging than a brand-new field?" Qin Jiao said with a smile. "So, are you willing to take it on?"

To be honest, Sun Lili used to have a one-track mind when it came to love—the kind of person who would let her entire world revolve around her significant other.

But after being hurt by Shen Feng, she started to question everything, especially love.

She concluded that all men were bastards and that focusing on her career was a much better path.

So, Sun Lili immediately nodded and said, "I’ll go! Of course, I’ll go! I’m not afraid of a challenge!"

"Alright then. First, go spend a week with Li Man and her team in the legal department to learn the ropes. After that, once the restaurant opens, you’ll go straight there."

"Why the legal department, too?"

Qin Jiao smiled. "Because you need to be familiar with all aspects of the business, of course."

Sun Lili wasn’t slow on the uptake. She immediately understood the reasoning behind it and nodded emphatically. "Okay, I’ll go right now! If it’s just learning the procedures, I can get it done in less than a week!"

Seeing her fired-up expression, Qin Jiao handed her the relevant files and the project plan for Jiuyi. "Later, I’ll also pick a few people from the clothing company to go to Jiuyi with you."

After Qin Jiao finished speaking, she noticed Sun Lili staring intently at her. Her brow furrowed slightly. "What is it?"

Sun Lili picked up a nearby teacup, poured herself some water, and drank it down before remarking wistfully, "If I had known back then that I’d end up working for you, I never would have treated you the way I did."

Qin Jiao said, "You didn’t really do anything to me, though, did you? We were fine. We never had any real conflicts."

"It was mainly that you ignored me. To be honest, I was always so worried that you’d fall for Shen Feng. You get it, right? That feeling when you like someone and you’re afraid every other woman in the world is going to try and steal him from you."

Qin Jiao wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, Sun Lili’s intuition was spot on. According to the original plot of that book, she was indeed supposed to fight with Sun Lili over Shen Feng.

But the current Qin Jiao had no interest in Shen Feng whatsoever.

’How should I describe it?’

’Maybe you could call it an awakening.’

Qin Jiao gathered her documents, glanced at her watch, and said, "It’s about that time. Let’s go grab a bite at a restaurant and talk more about Jiuyi."

Sun Lili smiled and said, "Are you treating me, Boss?"

Qin Jiao replied, "Shouldn’t you be the one buttering me up so I’ll give you more important assignments in the future?"

"But you’re already giving me a major role, aren’t you?"

The two of them were getting along very well now. They left the office together and found a random restaurant. Since they needed to discuss business, they asked for a private room.

They ordered a table full of dishes and chatted while they ate. The food was a bit salty, so Qin Jiao ended up drinking a lot of water.

She got up to go to the restroom. As she was passing by another private room, she noticed its door wasn’t properly closed, leaving a gap about a hand’s width.

And through it, Qin Jiao saw two people inside, wrapped in an embrace.

It was other people’s business, and Qin Jiao had no intention of getting involved. But who would have thought that at that exact moment, the woman would look up and stare at Qin Jiao with a mixture of surprise and anger.

Qin Jiao: "..."

The two of them were none other than Lin Nian and Lu Jiuan. Qin Jiao had to admit, she was also a little surprised. So those two had actually gotten entangled with each other again.

Of course, it was none of her business.

So Qin Jiao turned and walked away.

After going to the restroom, she returned to the private room and continued chatting with Sun Lili as if nothing had happened.

But just as they had eaten their fill and their conversation was winding down, Qin Jiao suddenly said, "Lin Nian had a daughter with Shen Feng."
