Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 830 - 828: The Handsome General Manager (Second Update)
After returning to R City, Nuonuo continued her intense review to prepare for the college entrance exam, while Da Bao returned to the Ji Group to temporarily handle the affairs of the Ji Family on behalf of his parents.
Actually, calling it a temporary agency is not entirely accurate.
Because ever since Nuonuo officially entered her senior year of high school, Da Bao applied to transfer from the branch office back to the Ji Group Headquarters.
And his position was no longer like when he just returned to China where he could casually switch departments at the Ji Group Headquarters; instead, he directly took the position of General Manager. Given his outstanding performance at Ji Group over the years, he could confidently hold this position.
In the Ji Group’s line of power, he ranks third. However, regardless of how Ji Group employees or board members see it, Da Bao’s authority is equivalent to that of Ji Rui and his spouse.
Moreover, without exception, everyone believes that the future successor of Ji Group is undoubtedly Young Master Ji, Ji Yu.
Of course, they’re not underestimating young Ji Huan, but these brothers have always had an excellent relationship, making a power struggle unlikely. As the eldest legitimate grandson of the Ji Family, Ji Yu’s inheritance of Ji Group is a certainty.
And these rumors and gossip are something Da Bao has always been too lazy to care about, as those people or matters have never been within his concern.
On his first day back from Beijing, Da Bao saved time by having bread and milk for lunch.
The secretary delivered several documents, silently shedding tears as she prepared herself psychologically for working overtime with the general manager when she saw the piles of high documents on the desk.
But at 5:30, the door of the general manager’s office opened, and the secretary thought it was the handsome general manager asking for files. Unexpectedly, she saw the general manager carrying a bag and striding out energetically.
"Miss Lei, it’s time to get off work."
Miss Lei was so surprised that she didn’t react at first, only looking up at her model-like boss confidently striding into the elevator; the elevator doors closed with a ding, and she realized she could leave!
And why did this handsome general manager of Ji Group leave a pile of urgent documents unattended and get off work on time at 5:30? The reason, of course, was that he needed to pick up his beloved sister.
Initially, when Nuonuo started school, she mentioned to her family about wanting to live in the dorm. That way, she could have more time to study.
But her suggestion was immediately and strongly opposed by Da Bao, "No, you won’t eat or sleep well at school, how can you ensure enough energy to study? Besides, do you have a tutor at school as good as me?"
Nuonuo sneered at Da Bao’s first reason. Because eighty percent of the seniors at her school chose to live on campus, and for the same reasons as her. Among these eighty percent of students, none have ever said they eat poorly, sleep poorly, and consequently struggle with studying.
It wasn’t until she heard Da Bao’s second reason that Nuonuo stopped dismissing him so nonchalantly.
Based on Nuonuo’s personal experience over more than ten years, no one except Little Treasure can rival Brother Da Bao as a tutor. Even the school’s top teachers lag far behind Da Bao’s tutoring level.
Of course, thinking this way seems a bit unfair to those top teachers.
After all, those top teachers deal with countless students, whereas Da Bao only tutors her, and he started tutoring her practically since she was brought back; counting, it’s almost eighteen years now.
"Brother!"
As soon as Da Bao’s car stopped, Nuonuo, who was carrying a backpack, saw his car from afar and ran out from the security office.
"Have you been waiting long?"
There was some traffic; a thirty-minute drive took an hour.
"No, I’ve been chatting with Du Xin." Nuonuo smiled and turned back to point at the little girl who had her face almost pressed against the glass.
"Du Xin hasn’t left yet? Do you want to take her home on the way?"
At this moment, Da Bao also saw the face pressed against the glass, smilingly nodding his head.
"Let me go ask her!" Nuonuo threw her backpack onto Da Bao, turned around, and ran lightly back to the security office.
Soon, the two little girls came out, dragging two large suitcases.
"Brother Yu, thank you!" Du Xin smiled and thanked Da Bao.
Da Bao had already opened the door to the back seat, "It’s no problem, we’re on the way anyway."
Du Xin’s house was not far from the Ji Family, just about two or three bus stops away.
Since last semester, Du Xin had chosen to board at school. She was going home today, seemed to have picked up some quilts or similarly bulky items to wash, so her family had promised to pick her up and take her home. But unexpectedly, family matters delayed their arrival, so like Nuonuo, Du Xin was waiting in the security office.
After loading Du Xin’s two large suitcases in the trunk, Da Bao got into the car and saw the two little girls in the backseat leaning their heads together, whispering secrets and laughing softly yet loudly.
Da Bao smiled and shook his head, adjusting the rear-view mirror so that Nuonuo’s face filled it before starting the car and leaving.
Seeing that the traffic on the main road was still moving very slowly, Da Bao drove onto the ring highway; although the distance was a bit longer, it was smoother, saving time.
"Brother, can we have dinner at Du Xin’s house?"
Not long after they got on the highway, Da Bao suddenly heard Nuonuo ask from the back seat.
Da Bao was surprised, first because Nuonuo had never voluntarily suggested having dinner at a classmate’s place, not even though she’s been good friends with Du Xin for quite a while. It was her first time mentioning having dinner there.
"But Aunt Guan has already prepared our dinner!"
Da Bao declined very tactfully, confident that Nuonuo would understand.
"No worries, no worries, we can just have what Aunt Guan prepared as supper."
However, Nuonuo seemed completely oblivious to his hints, leaning forward onto his seat back and whispering softly.
Da Bao was puzzled, but he couldn’t lose face for Nuonuo in front of her classmate.
"Alright, Du Xin, could you please tell me the address?"
Da Bao only knew the approximate location of Du Xin’s house, not the exact address.
But Du Xin didn’t answer immediately, instead tugging at Nuonuo’s clothes, "Si Han, let’s do it another day, okay? Brother Yu already said Aunt Guan prepared dinner, and I have to have my parents prepare something nice for you too. How about visiting another day?"
Nuonuo didn’t answer, and seeing this, Da Bao immediately responded.
"That’s right, Du Xin is right. We can’t just rush into bothering your parents. Let’s pick a time to visit formally some other day, okay?"
Nuonuo hadn’t had the chance to reply when Du Xin added, "Si Han, it’s decided then, we’ll make plans for another day."
Da Bao felt there was something strange about the situation. It wasn’t like Nuonuo to be so tactless, showing up at someone’s house uninvited for a meal.
After dropping Du Xin off near her street, Nuonuo finally explained the reason to Da Bao.
