Picking Up Fragments

Chapter 318 Returning to Shanghai

That day, Jiang Siming returned to Shanghai.

Coincidentally, Li Yingzi had just returned from her vacation in Thailand last night, and today, everyone was back at work.@@@@

Dai Xiaomei even sent him a message, saying that her best friend had successfully passed an interview at Yinghuan, and the two of them were so happy they practically cried tears of joy.

As soon as Jiang Siming got off the plane, Qi Muqing and Qi Muxin were already at the airport waiting for him, driving the company's business car.

"Chairman, I heard you went to record a show? Are you going to be on TV?"

Qi Muxin asked curiously, having heard about it from Li Yingzi.

"What, you think your chairman isn't good enough to be on TV?" Jiang Siming asked with a smile.

"Of course you are! I just wanted to know what kind of show it is. Is it a big one? Will it be broadcast on a local channel?" Qi Muxin asked.

"I'm not telling you, figure it out yourself."

Qi Muxin pouted but didn't dare talk back to Jiang Siming, so she just made two funny faces at him as a way to vent her frustration.

"Chairman, do you have any tasks today?" Her older sister, Qi Muqing, asked while driving.

Since Jiang Siming usually wouldn't come to the company unless there was something important.

"Yeah, a big one."

Jiang Siming leaned back into the comfortable seat. He had to admit, this Mercedes-Benz business seat was really comfortable.

Although it wasn't as luxurious as his sports cars, when it came to comfort, the Mercedes-Benz business seats were definitely top-tier in the industry.

"By the way, Chairman, there's a little girl at our company. The front desk just messaged me on WeChat, saying she claims to be your niece and is here to see you," Qi Muxin said, raising her phone.

"A little girl? Who?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled.

"Here, it's her."

Qi Muxin handed her phone to Jiang Siming, showing a photo taken by the front desk.

Jiang Siming took a look and realized it was Zhao Xiaoxiao, that little troublemaker.

"Tell Xiaoyu and the others to take her to my office and let her wait for me. Next time she comes, don't stop her." Jiang Siming instructed.

"Got it, I'll let Xiaoyu and the team know right away," Qi Muxin replied and immediately sent the message.

Qi Muqing parked the car downstairs at the company, and the three of them took the elevator up.

Soon, several other employees from different companies crowded into the elevator, filling it up quickly.

Qi Muqing smiled and answered, "The boss said he wants to buy this building and install a private elevator for our employees so we won't have to squeeze in with other companies."

"Wow~" The receptionists let out sounds of admiration and reverence toward Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming pushed open the door to his office and found Zhao Xiaoxiao sitting in his chairman's chair, eating an ice cream she had taken from the fridge.

"Why did you come here by yourself? Where's your mom?" Jiang Siming walked up to her.

"My mom's at work. Today is Children's Day, so we have a day off from school. I didn't want to stay home, so I came to find you," Zhao Xiaoxiao said while scooping a big spoonful of strawberry sundae and offering it to Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming graciously took a bite.

"Hehe, Daddy, your office is so luxurious, way better than Mom's!" Zhao Xiaoxiao giggled.

Jiang Siming was already immune to this form of address—or rather, he had gotten used to it.

"Did you tell your mom? If not, I need to give her a call," Jiang Siming said, worried that Zhao Xuan might be concerned.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed Jiang Siming's hand and pleaded softly, "Daddy, don't tell Mom. She'll definitely scold me for disturbing your work."

"But we can't let your mom worry," Jiang Siming said, reaching for his phone.

Zhao Xiaoxiao panicked and threw herself into Jiang Siming's arms, hugging his neck tightly and acting spoiled.

"Daddy, you're the best~ Don't tell Mom, at least not right now. Tell her at noon, okay? That way, even if she scolds me, I can still play for the whole morning."

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoxiao playfully kissed Jiang Siming several times, with one landing directly on his lips.

That was way too (provocative) much (stimulating)!

Jiang Siming quickly turned her little head away and even licked the ice cream residue she left on his lips.

He mainly didn't want to waste food—the ice cream was expensive, after all.

"You little brat, do you even know what you're doing? If you keep messing around, I'll spank your butt!" Jiang Siming said, giving her a firm pat on her perky little backside.

"Ouch~ Bad Daddy, that hurt~" Zhao Xiaoxiao pouted and covered her bottom in protest.

Jiang Siming took the opportunity to press her back into the chair and warned, "If you keep acting up, I'll call your mom right now."

"Fine, fine, I won't mess around anymore. I know Daddy has weak self-control, hehe."

While speaking, Zhao Xiaoxiao intentionally glanced downward and let out a mischievous giggle.

Jiang Siming's mind went blank for a second, and he could only clear his throat to cover up his embarrassment.

How the hell was this his fault?

If this little minx hadn't been teasing him, how could a righteous and pure man like him possibly have a reaction?!
