Chapter 354 - Why did the turtle eat the cookies? (1)
Fang JunRong went silent for a little while, then said, “I take back what I have said, I apologize. And thank you for being fond of me.”
She really wasn’t in the right mindset to start a new relationship right now so she was going to have to be the “nice guy” to him.
“I feel that I have impeccable taste.” Jiang DeXian stressed again.
Not everyone was blind like Li WangJin. To many, the name “Li WangJin” now represents a blind man.
“I am not into office romance.” She did not want to mix work with her private life.
“I can quit my job as your assistant.”
Then he could work for her for free.
Fang JunRong got his subtle meaning and her lips twitched.
Truth be told, it stroked her ego that a handsome young man was interested in her.
As for whether she would go for it or not, only time would tell. Most importantly, the two of them shared the same experience and she would not need to worry about slipping in front of him.
As such, she tended to be more relaxed around him.
Even though the two of them had already had the conversation, the way they got along did not change.
It wasn’t that Fang JunRong didn’t want to look for a new assistant. Problem was it was always difficult going from riches to rags.
She was already used to having Jiang DeXian, the super assistant soit was very difficult for her to switch to someone else.
Well, she would just have to leave things as they were for now and take her time in looking for a new assistant.
She got time.
Going forward, she would just pay Jiang DeXian directly out of her own pocket.

A few days later, Fang JunRong said she had bought herself a pet and presented her turtle to the others. XinYun even named it Kuaikuai (T/L: “fast”) as this turtle could move around quickly, very different from what one would normally think of a turtle.
Fang JunRong knew full well that the turtle could move at lightning speed when it wanted to.
She had already warned Kuaikuai to not do anything too out of the ordinary. It’s current speed would bring about exclamations but not so much that it would be sent to a laboratory.
Kuaikuai was also a picky eater and would only eat the fruits from the dimension.
It would not eat the regular fruits from the market. That made sense, as it was a pet from the dimension.
Fang JunRong had further learned that it would also eat gems such as jadeite. Fang JunRong wasn’t paying too much attention one time and she lost a bracelet that way.
She only figured it out from the crumbs left on its mouth. Kuaikuai was lectured. Fruits were alright but eating gems would be like burning her money!
All in all, Fang JunRong’s family very much welcomed Kuaikuai, especially XinYun. She would bring it with her to show it off from time to time.
August 16, XinYun’s debutante was finally here.
Fang JunRong booked the best hotel in City S to celebrate XinYun’s birthday.
There were a lot of guests that day and XinYun was the brightest pearl that day. She had on an entire set of jadeite head ornaments.
The glass-type jadeites came from the rock that she had bought in the past. Their sparks caught everyone’s attention.
Anyone who knew gems could tell that the set cost at least hundreds of millions of yuan. They were surprised: Fang JunRong spoiled this daughter so much.
Anyone who ended up marrying Li XinYun, saying that they would shave off 10 years in their career path would be an understatement.
Many had thought about whether they had children around Li XinYun’s age.
It wouldn’t hurt to befriend for the odd chance that they could become Fang JunRong’s son-in-law. Nevertheless, nobody would bring up something like that on a date like this. That would be offensive to the host.
In addition to the set of jadeite head ornaments, the other present that Fang JunRong had given to XinYun was an entire building located in the heart of the city, adding more wealth to her already impressive net worth.
Should XinYun’s business fail, she could always resort to being a landlady.
Looking at how proud her daughter was, Fang JunRong felt a burning ache in her nose. She had changed the fate of many in this lifetime but nothing made her happier than changing the tragic end of her daughter.
Li XinYun’s debutante ended under everyone’s envious look and her status within the family could not have been clearer.
