Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone in the capital knew that Ji Lingchen had two capable right-hand men by his side. One was Assistant Liu, who was responsible for all public affairs and was good at diplomacy. The other was Head Secretary Song. Secretary Song was a middle-aged woman who was very capable. She was mainly in charge of all the internal operations of the company. She was both courageous and meticulous.

Ji Lingchen was very good at managing people. He knew what kind of people to place in those positions. There had been people who had tried to poach these two, but they refused to be tempted. They wholeheartedly stayed with Ji Lingchen. After this happened a few times, the two felt that the outside offers were getting too annoying, and so they directly said to Ji Lingchen, “CEO Ji, they have recently gotten very annoying. We want to work in peace.”

Ji Lingchen was furious. He had directly purchased the Aki Company, turning it into a subsidiary of the Ji Corporation. This action of his was a warning to others. If anyone wanted to poach talent from him, not only would they be unsuccessful, they might even lose their company.

“CEO, you were looking for me?” Secretary Song entered the office and asked respectfully.

Ji Lingchen asked, “I just wanted to ask you, if a child is throwing a tantrum, how do I coax her? What should I give her?”

A child? Secretary Song’s brain worked at lightning speed. She immediately knew that the CEO was talking about his young wife.

Secretary Song calmly replied, “It depends on what she’s angry about.” After all, there were many things to consider when giving gifts.

Secretary Song had been responsible for the company’s employee benefits and customer business gifts over the years. She was able to handle things properly every time.

Ji Lingchen said, “She was angry because she felt that my style of doing things is too excessive.”

Secretary Song thought for a moment and replied, “You can give Mrs. Ji jewelry. Mrs. Ji is very particular about how she dresses but doesn’t wear any jewelry. Why don’t you give her a bracelet or necklace that she can wear on a daily basis?”

While Ji Lingchen was thinking about it, Secretary Song said again, “Madam is angry, but she should not be picky about a gift. So, I believe that as long as you choose a gift carefully and there are no further arguments, she will understand your intentions and won’t pursue this matter any further.”

Ji Lingchen nodded and said, “Come with me to the social gathering tonight.”

Secretary Song said, “Then Assistant Liu, he…”

Ji Lingchen said, “He doesn’t have good taste. He often works overtime at the company.”

Secretary Song said, “Yes.”

Ji Lingchen was referring to taste in jewelry. He was going to pick something out for his wife.

After work, Secretary Song and Ji Lingchen headed to the social gathering venue together. On the way there, they deliberately took a detour to the shopping mall.

“CEO, I thought you would call the boss of the jewelry company to order it and have it sent to your office directly,” Secretary Song said.

Ji Lingchen said, “Since it’s an apology gift, you have to buy it in person to show sincerity. If I wait for it to be sent to the company, I will have to wait till tomorrow.”

Ji Lingchen was already able to picture how angry his wife would look tonight. She would call him “uncle” again and insult him left and right.

“Let me see this bracelet,” Ji Lingchen said, pointing to a golden bracelet on the brochure.

The manager heard this and immediately ordered his staff to open the safe to get the bracelet.

When Ji Lingchen personally arrived at a store, the store would send the highest management staff to receive him. The store would be closed immediately and would no longer receive any customers.

“May I ask, CEO Ji, is this bracelet for…” the manager trailed off.

“My wife,” Ji Lingchen replied.

The manager was so surprised that his mouth was wide open, and he was speechless for a while. He did not expect the decisive CEO Ji to be such a romantic person.

After they took out the bracelet, Ji Lingchen carefully looked at the seemingly ordinary, but exceptionally eye-catching bracelet in his hand.

The manager quickly explained the design philosophy of the bracelet, the technology used to make it, the emotions expressed, and so on.

Secretary Song often read fashion magazines, and she recognized the bracelet at a glance. She said to Ji Lingchen, “CEO, this bracelet is the work of an internationally famous designer, Mr. Phelps. It’s not cheap, and it’s a very sincere gift. The bracelet is very dazzling, and Madam’s skin is already fair. She’ll definitely look very beautiful in it. I believe that she will love such an exquisite and thoughtful gift.”

Ji Lingchen nodded in satisfaction. He put the bracelet back into the box, took out a black card, and said, “I’ll take it.”

Ji Lingchen smiled as he left the jewelry store with the small gift.

In the car, Secretary Song said, “CEO Ji, you’re really good to your wife.” That was obvious. He just bought a bracelet worth millions.

Ji Lingchen was in a good mood. “She’s just a child. If I don’t go along with her wishes, her little temper will be hard on the whole family.”
