Chapter 50: Jiang Wan practices yoga

The door opened.

Qin Ze stood at the doorway, stunned.

Jiang Wan was wearing a light gray yoga outfit, the tight fabric outlining her smooth body curves.

There was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her chest rose and fell gently with her breathing.

Clearly, she had just been exercising.

"Senior brother, you're here." Jiang Wan stepped aside, "Come in."

Qin Ze walked in; the room was a standard double room, kept very tidy.

On the floor by the window, a yoga mat was laid out, with a phone next to it playing soothing music.

"Doing yoga?" Qin Ze asked.

"Yeah, just did some for a while."

Jiang Wan wiped her sweat.

"Senior brother, sit down, wait for me a moment, I'll finish this set of movements, it'll be quick."

Qin Ze sat on the edge of the bed: "No rush, take your time."

Jiang Wan smiled, returned to the yoga mat, and continued the movement she was just doing.

She had her back to Qin Ze, her body bent forward, hands supporting the floor, hips raised, forming a standard "downward-facing dog."

The yoga outfit clung to her body, clearly revealing the curves of her waist and hips and her long, slender legs.

Jiang Wan's movements were very professional, each posture performed standardly and smoothly.

Her body flexibility was very good, and she could easily complete some high-difficulty movements.

The room was very quiet, with only the soft music and Jiang Wan's occasional breathing sounds.

Qin Ze watched her back, suddenly remembering their university days.

At that time, Jiang Wan was a talented girl in the department, with good grades, beautiful looks, and many pursuers.

But he was focused on studying and working part-time then, and never noticed this little junior sister at all.

Who would have thought that years later, she would become his capable assistant.

And would even be doing yoga in front of him.

After about ten minutes, Jiang Wan finished the last movement and slowly stood up.

She walked to the bathroom and took a towel to wipe her sweat.

"Senior brother, wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes."

Jiang Wan took a set of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she walked out wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, her hair tied back into a ponytail again.

"Senior brother, sorry, kept you waiting."

When she said this, her face flushed slightly.

Qin Ze smiled and didn't respond.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Jiang Wan smoothed her hair and spoke to break the silence:

"Senior brother, I called my parents just now. Hearing that I'm back, they were especially happy."

"I said I was bringing my boyfriend back, and they were even happier."

After she finished speaking, she carefully observed Qin Ze's expression.

Qin Ze nodded:

"Then let's go over early, don't keep uncle and aunt waiting."

"Alright."

Jiang Wan paused and suddenly asked:

"Senior brother, did I say something wrong when I went to your house yesterday?"

"I saw you seemed unwilling to let uncle and aunt know what you're doing?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment.

"Senior brother, I've always wanted to ask you, why did you tell your family you won the lottery? Wouldn't it be fine to just say you earned the money by opening a company?"

Qin Ze looked at Jiang Wan.

"Wealth should not be exposed."

"Not just to outsiders, but to family as well. My dad, you saw him, he wishes the whole world knew if he had a little money."

"If I really told him I opened a big company and earned tens of millions, he would float up to the sky."

"By then, relatives and friends would all come to borrow money, a pile of troublesome things."

Jiang Wan was stunned.

She didn't expect Qin Ze to consider things so deeply.

"Then going to my house tonight, how should I introduce you?"

Qin Ze shook his head:

"Just say I'm your colleague, we started a business together, and the career is just starting."

"Try to be low-key."

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up:

"That's what I thought too! I don't want my parents to think I'm clinging to a rich man, nor do I want them to feel pressured."

"Then it's settled." Qin Ze stood up, "Let's go, don't let uncle and aunt wait anxiously."

Jiang Wan's family lived in the old city area of the county.

Qin Ze drove through several narrow streets and finally stopped at the entrance of a residential area that looked very old.

The residential area had no gate, only an open entrance.

The buildings inside were all six-story old-fashioned structures, the exterior paint peeling and mottled, revealing the cement inside.

The stairwell entrance was piled with some miscellaneous items, and electrical wires were messily intertwined in the air.

"It's here." Jiang Wan pointed to one of the buildings, "My family lives on the third floor."

Qin Ze parked the car and took out the gifts he brought from the trunk.

Cigarettes, alcohol, tea, nutritional supplements, and several exquisite gift boxes.

Seeing him bring so many things, Jiang Wan felt a bit embarrassed:

"Senior brother, you bought too much."

"First time visiting, can't go empty-handed." Qin Ze said, "Let's go."

The two went upstairs.

The stairwell was very narrow, the light dim, and the voice-activated lights flickered on and off.

The walls were covered with small advertisements, and the cement edges of the steps were worn and pitted.

Walking to the third floor, Jiang Wan stopped in front of a rusty anti-theft door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Coming!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.

The door opened.

A woman around fifty years old stood at the door, and seeing Jiang Wan, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Wanwan!"

"Mom!" Jiang Wan rushed over and hugged her mother.

After a long while, Jiang's mother released her daughter, wiped her tears, and looked at Qin Ze.

"This must be Xiao Qin, right?"

"Hello, aunt, I'm Qin Ze." Qin Ze bowed slightly.

"Hey, good! Come in quickly! The house is small, don't mind it."

Qin Ze walked into the house.

The house was not big, two bedrooms and one living room, estimated to be less than sixty square meters.

"Old Jiang! Wanwan is back!" Jiang's mother shouted toward the inner room.

A man in his fifties, wearing reading glasses, walked out from the inner room.

"Dad!" Jiang Wan rushed over again.

Jiang's father put down the things in his hands, hugged his daughter, and his eye sockets also turned red.

After Jiang's father and mother finished their affectionate reunion with their daughter, they finally turned their attention to Qin Ze.

"Xiao Qin, sit, sit quickly! The house is messy, don't mind it."

"Aunt, don't be busy, I'll do it myself."

Qin Ze placed the gifts beside the coffee table.

"A little token of my heart, uncle and aunt, don't mind it."

Jiang's father looked at the beautifully packaged gift boxes, feeling somewhat constrained:

"Coming is enough, why bring things!"

Jiang's mother went to pour tea, and Jiang Wan followed to help.

Jiang's father sat opposite Qin Ze, rubbing his hands, somewhat nervous.

"Xiao Qin, heard from Wanwan that you two are colleagues?"

Qin Ze nodded.

"Jiang Wan and I are university alumni, she now works at the same company as me!"

"Oh oh, alumni is good, knowing the roots and the bottom."

Jiang's father nodded.

"Wanwan, this child, has been sensible since childhood, just stubborn in nature. Three years ago, she insisted on going out to start a business, we couldn't persuade her."

"We two don't have much education, she does things, we can't help with anything!"

"You two are doing things together, you guide her more."

Qin Ze immediately said:

"Uncle, Jiang Wan is very excellent."

"She is now the General Manager of my company, very capable, and has helped me a lot."

"General Manager?" Jiang's father was stunned.

"What General Manager?"

Jiang Wan brought the tea over, hearing this, glared at Qin Ze, meaning wasn't it agreed to be low-key.

Qin Ze smiled:

"We opened a company together, Jiang Wan is the General Manager."

Qin Ze originally planned to be low-key!

But looking around Jiang Wan's house!

Qin Ze didn't plan to hide it, deciding to help as much as he could!

"Now the company is just starting, it's all Jiang Wan carrying the burden alone!"

Jiang's father heard this!

Instantly tasted the meaning in Qin Ze's words.

His own daughter is now working under Qin Ze!

And Qin Ze can open a company!

That means it's not just a simple colleague relationship! ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
