The middle-aged man turned out to be the boss of this company. He didn't come here every day, as he had a factory and several other stores in addition to this place. Moreover, being the boss meant that he was not required to work every single day.

The boss's name was Zhang Jiujin, but his original name was actually Zhang Jiu Jin, supposedly because he weighed nine catties at birth, hence the name given to him. Later on, he felt that this name was too mundane and unsuitable for public use, so he changed it himself to Zhang Jiujin. After making this change, it seemed like his fortune began to improve; though he wasn't considered a wealthy tycoon, he did own assets worth several million.

Zhang Jiujin wasn't originally from the capital city, and both his wife and children were back in their hometown, so he could be quite brazen about keeping a mistress here. And that's why during the times when Zhang Jiujin didn't come to work, Du Qing would just act as if she was the boss’s lady giving orders.

Ning Jie quickly entered Zhang Jiujin's office and before even sitting down, she proactively said: "Boss, I haven't completed the design of the new product yet. It might take a few more days, but I will try to finish it by next week."

"Ning Jie, please sit down," Zhang Jiujin replied in a pleasant tone. "You don't need to rush with the designs. The previous models have been selling quite well; I plan on continuing their sales for some time longer so that they can gain more recognition over an extended period."

Ning Jie sat down and said, "Boss, did you call me for something else"

Zhang Jiujin nodded and said, "I heard that you know Doctor of Gods Xia Tian"

Hearing this, Ning Jie almost broke down. Why was it always about Xia Tian

Ning Jie really wanted to curse someone, but she couldn’t since the person was her boss. So, she could only say with a miserable face, "Boss, actually, I’ve only met that Xia Tian twice and we’re not very familiar."

"Ning Jie, I know many people might be contacting you now, but don’t feel bothered by it. In this day and age, who doesn't have minor ailments I’m no exception, as my age isn’t young anymore. With a lot of social engagements and little exercise, my health isn’t very good," Zhang Jiujin’s voice was quite warm. "I actually don’t have any other requests. I just want to see if you can help me contact Doctor Xia or if you know where he is so that I could visit him personally. I just want him to check on my condition and maybe prescribe some medicine."

"Boss, I…," Ning Jie was quite upset. Had the boss even heard what she said She clearly mentioned that they weren’t familiar!

"Ning Jie, don't be so nervous. I said this is a personal matter and I'm just asking for your help. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable about it, that's fine too." Zhang Jiujin didn't give Ning Jie the chance to explain.

Ning Jie had nothing to say this time either; she could only nod listlessly and respond weakly: "Boss, I'll try my best. If I manage to contact him, I will bring up this matter."

As she spoke, Ning Jie thought to herself that if she couldn't reach Xia Tian, it wouldn't be her fault. In her opinion, it was unlikely for her to get in touch with Xia Tian since she truly didn’t know his phone number and doubted he would come looking for her.

"Then I'll trouble you." Zhang Jiujin seemed very pleased.

"Boss, then I'll go back to work now," Ning Jie said somewhat helplessly.

"Alright, go ahead. Don't overwork yourself and make sure to take breaks when necessary," Zhang Jiujin appeared quite concerned for Ning Jie.

"Thank you, boss." Ning Jie got up and left the boss's office, returning to her own desk. For the entire morning, she was rather unsettled and had no mood to design clothes; in the end, she didn't accomplish anything.

In this way, it was noon. Ning Jie ordered takeout over the phone as she wasn't very convenient with walking on her legs and rarely went out for lunch, usually opting for takeout instead. As for other people in the company, they all went out to eat since takeout isn't necessarily that delicious.

Zhang Jiujin also took Du Qing out of the door; to be honest, Du Qing did a pretty good job as a mistress. After all, there aren't many mistresses who can be so openly acknowledged, making her proud of herself.

In the office, only Ning Jie was left alone, waiting for the takeout in solitude. However, before long, someone walked in.

"Excuse me, is Miss Ning Jie here" A man around forty years old appeared at the company entrance with a rather polite tone of voice.

"I'm here." Ning Jie waved her hand, feeling somewhat puzzled as she hadn't mentioned her name when ordering takeout.

"Miss Ning, do you have some time I would like to talk to you about something."

Ning Jie finally understood that the man wasn't here to deliver food but had come for a specific reason.

"May I ask who you are and what you need" Ning Jie couldn't help asking, secretly wishing it wasn't anything related to that guy named Xia Tian again.

"My name is Chang Rong. Miss Ning hasn't eaten yet, has she" The middle-aged man promptly introduced himself. "If Miss Ning could do me the honor, I would like to treat you to a simple meal."

"No need, I've already ordered takeout." Inside, Ning Jie was puzzled as to why someone would suddenly invite her for a meal out of nowhere. After all, excessive politeness often hides ulterior motives.

Chang Rong smiled slightly and said, "With Miss Ning's status, how could she possibly eat takeout Please, give me the pleasure of your company; I just need a small favor from you and have no ill intentions."

"I told you I'm not going, and I don't even know you!" Ning Jie was feeling rather dejected and thus spoke to the person with a poor tone.

"How do you talk to Uncle Rong" An unhappy voice came from the door. Two young men walked in together; one of them looked at Ning Jie unhappily, "Uncle Rong invited you, yet you refuse to go Aren't you rejecting his kindness I tell you, whether you want to or not, you are going today!"

"Hey, who are you people anyway Why is it a problem if I don’t go" Ning Jie was very angry. What kind of people were they, forcing someone to eat with them Fortunately she hadn't agreed; these guys looked like troublemakers!

"If you don’t want to go, we will escort you there!" Another young man snorted coldly, "You’d better not force us to take action. We won't be able to control ourselves once our hands start moving."

"Hey, what are you guys trying to do Get out of here quickly or I’ll call for help!" Ning Jie stood up and instinctively took a few steps back while her heart unconsciously began to panic.

"Miss Ning, we truly don’t mean any harm," Chang Rong spoke again at this moment, "We know you are Dr. Xia’s friend, so we just want to invite you for a meal, that simple."e Cheng Family lived or died was insignificant as he firmly believed they posed no threat to him whatsoever; hence why he had given Zhao Xiao Zhuo some face.
