The next day, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at Feng Xiaoyu's home.

"I missed you to death." After not seeing each other for a month, Feng Xiaoyu hugged Wang Xiaoqiang and cried so much that she looked like a tearful figure, just like a pure-hearted young girl. In fact, Feng Xiaoyu was not that old, just in her early twenties, but still looked like a young girl—a girl who had become Wang Xiaoqiang's woman.

"Let's go, let's go out for a big meal..."

"It's not clean outside, let me cook for you," Feng Xiaoyu said tenderly as she gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang... "I just learned how to make a three-delight soup dumpling, wait till you taste it..."

"Hmm, do you need help?"

"No need, just watch TV, it will be ready soon..." Feng Xiaoyu said and then went to the kitchen to make the three-delight soup dumplings.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't sit in the living room to watch TV but followed her instead, leaning on the kitchen door, quietly watching Feng Xiaoyu make dumplings.

Feng Xiaoyu kneaded the dough, then rolled it out on the board. Leaning over the board, her slender waist sharply contrasted with her broader hips from behind, resembling a calabash.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang went over to help her.

The two of them rolling out dough together was a first in China.

Soon, the dough was thinly rolled out.

With a man and a woman working together, the task was not tiring.

"Hmm, the dumplings made by my wife are indeed delicious," Wang Xiaoqiang said half an hour later while eating the fragrant dumplings. "Look how thin these dumpling skins are..."

"Okay, stop talking..." Embarrassed by the memories of rolling out the dough, Feng Xiaoyu's cheeks turned red like a blooming flower.

"My dear, stay tonight, I feel so lonely by myself..." Feng Xiaoyu clung to Wang Xiaoqiang after he finished eating the dumplings, hoping he would stay with her.

"Alright, but just for one night, cherish it..."

The next day.

Wang Xiaoqiang went to the Zhong Family. He told Sister Ping about his farm venture in the United States.

Sister Ping said with a resentful tone, "Little Qiang, you started a company and didn't even tell me about it; it seems you don't care about your sister..."

Wang Xiaoqiang patted Sister Ping on the shoulder, "Sister Ping, actually, I wasn't certain about starting a farm before I went to the United States; it just happened..."

Wang Xiaoqiang explained the complete situation of acquiring Dolly Farm to Sister Ping. After hearing it, she exclaimed in surprise, "I've only heard that land in the United States is cheap, now it seems it's true... I'm somewhat tempted now, I've decided to take Holiland to the United States."

"Hmm, but Sister Ping, the taxes there are pretty high," Wang Xiaoqiang repeated the farm's hefty tax figures to Sister Ping. She felt it was a bit much but still said, "I've been thinking of going to the United States to see if there's an opportunity for development... Little Qiang, once I'm done with this busy period, I really want to go with you to the United States to explore."

Actually, Sister Ping's age no longer allowed her to expand her business, especially to develop in the United States. Her saying this was really just her way of wanting to spend more time with Wang Xiaoqiang.

"No problem, Sister Ping. Whenever you want to go, just give me a call..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Hmm... just don't ignore my calls when I do call you..."

"Sister Ping, how could I dare not answer your calls? I think about you every day... hehe..."

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled, his gaze swept over Sister Ping's body, "Sister Ping, you've slimmed down..."

"I dance fitness dance every day," Sister Ping said happily when she heard Wang Xiaoqiang's compliment. Her words were true. For Wang Xiaoqiang, she had to stay youthful and maintain her figure. "I'm afraid if I get fat, you won't want your sister..."

"Sister Ping, actually I love your plumpness..." Wang Xiaoqiang said. "Sister Ping, I need you to help me find someone, a talented person..."

"What kind of talent..."

"Knowledge must be profound, understanding the law is essential, and of course, having a good network would be even better..." Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly.

"You're looking for someone who can help look after the big picture of your company..."

"Sister Ping, you're half right. My company is now focusing on branding, applying for patents, but in this regard, I can't personally handle everything, so I want to find someone..."

"That's easy, let me think...Ah, that's right, Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi can do it. Last time Qiao Hui was here, she mentioned that she wanted Qiao Zhi to work at Holiland..." Zhong Ping suggested.

"Hmm, Qiao Zhi," Wang Xiaoqiang stroked his chin as Qiao Zhi's stunningly beautiful appearance came to mind..."What are her qualifications..."

"Yan Capital University, Law Department, she should be able to handle your job, right?" Zhong Ping said.

"Of course, that would work. Okay, ask her to come over tomorrow, I'll talk to her..."

"I think it would be better if you personally invite her," Zhong Ping said meaningfully while touching Wang Xiaoqiang's hair.

"Why would it be better if I invite her?"

"Because you're her savior from illness, and she has already fallen for you. Hehe," Zhong Ping said with a laugh, yet her tone was tinged with jealousy.

"Ha, Sister Ping, so you're teasing me now. Okay, I have to punish you..."

"Ah...you're bad, giggle..."

The next day, Zhong Ping invited Qiao Zhi to her house. Qiao Zhi wore a short-sleeved floral cheongsam, which not every woman could wear, and certainly not every woman could bring out the flavor of the cheongsam. Previously, Qiao Zhi dared not wear it because she was too thin due to her illness and couldn't fill out the cheongsam. Now, the reason she dared to wear it was that her body had thickened after her recovery, and indeed, once Qiao Zhi put on the cheongsam, its charm was enhanced. One could even say that Qiao Zhi was beautified by the cheongsam, and the cheongsam was vivified by Qiao Zhi.

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at Qiao Zhi's shapely figure under the cheongsam, feeling reassured and gratified, as her good figure was indeed a gift from him.

If it weren't for him, Wang Xiaoqiang, Qiao Zhi wouldn't even think about wearing a cheongsam—she might have needed surgery by now.

With a disfigured body, how could she be beautiful?

"Mr. Wang, hello, we meet again," Qiao Zhi greeted with a smile.

"What are you staring at," seeing Wang Xiaoqiang stunned and forgetting even to shake hands, she pushed him to remind him.

"Uh, Miss Qiao, you look really beautiful in the cheongsam..." Wang Xiaoqiang finally regained his composure.

Qiao Zhi smiled sweetly..."I have to thank Mr. Wang for curing my illness. By the way, Mr. Wang, could you stop calling me Miss Qiao? Call me Qiao Zhi, or Little Zhi..."

"Uh, Qiao Zhi, I invited you out today because there's something..." Wang Xiaoqiang said."Let's sit down and talk..."

Wang Xiaoqiang led Qiao Zhi to the living room sofa in Zhong Ping's house.

When Qiao Zhi heard that Wang Xiaoqiang had something to discuss, she was thrilled because she was afraid that Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't seek her out, and that might mean losing touch with him, which was not what she wanted to see. In fact, in their few encounters, especially the two times Wang Xiaoqiang treated her, she was grateful and subconsciously saw him as the Son of Heaven in her heart. The reason was simple: Wang Xiaoqiang had seen her body, and having half Japanese ancestry, she was still traditionally-minded. She didn't want her body to be seen or touched by more than one man, so the first man who had seen and touched her body would be the man for her life, the one she would marry, or be devoted to for life.

So, after sitting down, before Wang Xiaoqiang could speak, Qiao Zhi could hardly wait to ask..."Mr. Wang, what did you want to see me about?"

"Uh, the thing is, my company is in need of a legal adviser. Sister Ping mentioned that you're a top graduate from the Law Department, and I would like to invite you to my company to serve as the legal adviser..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhi was overjoyed. She had been worried about not having an opportunity to get closer to Wang Xiaoqiang, but he had just extended an olive branch. Although she was elated, she maintained her composure as a young lady from a good family. She smiled gently, "Ha, Mr. Wang, you really flatter me. I hope I can serve your company well, I just fear my abilities might not be up to the task..."

"Qiao Zhi, let's not be too modest. I believe in your abilities, and Sister Ping highly recommends you, so I've decided to hire you as my company's legal adviser. Don't worry about the salary, I assure you that you will be the highest-paid employee in my company, and you might even receive a bonus..."

"Yes, Azhi, since Mr. Wang is so sincere, you shouldn't refuse anymore..." Zhong Ping chimed in from the side, already noticing that Qiao Zhi was quite pleased, although she still appeared reserved.

"Okay then, I'll give it a try, and if I mess up, please don't be too hard on me, Mr. Wang..." Qiao Zhi winked at Wang Xiaoqiang. In truth, she really didn't care about the salary; having grown up in affluence, she was not concerned about such a small sum of money. What she cared about was being in contact with Wang Xiaoqiang. Of course, developing a relationship beyond friendship would be even better (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
