Visiting a construction site for inspection was routine work for Jin Liwei. The moment he decided for himself that he really wanted to succeed as the next head of Jin Corporation back when he was still a teenager, he immediately became serious working for the company. He shadowed his father, the former President-CEO, in order to learn how to run their company firsthand. The most valuable lessons that he learned about business came from Grandpa Lu though, but only when the old man wasn’t gallivanting around the world.
Part of his learning experience was accompanying his father to construction sites for project inspections. It was something expected of the company head, so he had to train for it. He had inspected countless construction sites since he was a teenager that now it had become not that big of a deal, just part of work.
This was why he wasn’t worried at all when he travelled out of town to visit this particular construction site today with his assistant Xu Tian and the other key figures that he assigned to manage the project. All of them wore safety gears as they toured inside the place and greeted all the workers who stopped what they were doing to stand in attention to him, the President-CEO.
At the moment, they were on the ground floor looking around the interior of the huge building currently being constructed. Everything still looked like a skeleton, but Jin Liwei could already imagine how it would look like once it was finished based on how the chief engineer and the project manager were explaining and describing the details to him.
While they moved to another area, he turned to his assistant and asked in a quiet voice. "Any updates from Xiulan?"
"Dominic texted just now saying that Miss Long is finishing up her photo shoot," Xu Tian answered.
"Young Madam."
Xu Tian was confused. "Sir?"
"Address Xiulan as Young Madam or Mrs. Jin. She’s going to be my wife soon."
"Understood, President. My apologies." Xu Tian’s phone lit up and vibrated. It was another message from Dominic. "Young Madam just finished her photo shoot. It seems that she’s on a roll today so they wrapped up early. The photographer is very pleased with Young Madam. They’re now preparing to leave."
"Good," Jin Liwei said with a nod. "Ask Dominic how she’s feeling."
Xu Tian typed quickly on his phone. Just a few seconds later, Dominic’s reply arrived. "It says that the young madam is feeling a little dizzy because she didn’t get enough sleep last night. Oh, Dominic sent a photo."
"Let’s head out for lunch," Jin Liwei announced, prompting big smiles from everyone. Some stomachs even gave loud rumbles in response.
Xu Tian’s phone vibrated again. He looked quite surprised when he read the message. Then he leaned closer to Jin Liwei and whispered, "The young madam says that since you didn’t let her send you lunch today, she’ll send lunches to all the construction workers here instead. She booked a couple of eateries nearby to deliver food for everyone."
"Oh?" Jin Liwei raised both eyebrows before his usual icy expression melted a little to reveal a doting smile, causing the people around him to stare at him like idiots. "Do we get a share of the lunch, too?"
"Uh no, sir. We don’t get any, only the construction workers. The young madam says that President already told her that you’ll be treating the higher-ups in this project to a restaurant for lunch." Xu Tian hesitated before asking, "Do I ask the young madam to give us lunches instead?"
Jin Liwei chuckled. "No need. Tell Xiulan I received her unspoken message and learned my lesson to not forget about the construction workers next time. And also, make sure that everyone knows that it’s my fiancée who’s providing them with lunch today."
Xu Tian obeyed and immediately worked on fulfilling his boss’ instructions while the others remained in shock at seeing their President-CEO not only smiling but also laughing today. It seemed that the rumours about him mellowing due to his celeb fiancée Iris Long was indeed true.
