Chapter 38: Jiang Sier, the Elderly Left Behind
Lao Gao expressed doubt about Jiang Sier's answer.

His intuition told him that things were definitely not that simple.

Not long after the accident of Film Queen Tan, Ms. Jiang received a call. She was not familiar with Director Shen to begin with, so if she wanted to visit him, she would have gone there a long time ago and there was no need to wait until last night.

Thinking of the rumors in the circle before, Lao Gao couldn't help but associate her with the actress Tan. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was unlikely.

Film Queen Tan had worked with Director Jiang before, and was also everyone's suspect at first. But as Film Queen Tan married into a wealthy family and gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, everyone turned their suspicions to other people.

Could it be that Mr. Jiang really went to visit Director Shen?

"Then Mr. Jiang, should we send someone to the hospital right now to deliver a fruit basket or something?"

"to whom?"

"Queen Tan."

Jiang Sier nodded, "Okay."

After coming out of the conference room, Lao Gao was still chatting with her about the recent gossip about actress Qin.

"According to gossip, I heard that the husband of Queen Qin seems to be seriously ill. Queen Qin was fighting with her stepson for the family property with her daughter some time ago."

Jiang Si'er didn't respond. Yu Guo next to him came over and said, "Stepson? Queen Tan has a stepson? Isn't there only one daughter?"

"What?" Lao Gao looked like he didn't know that. "Queen Qin's husband is 20 years older than her. They divorced and have a son. Queen Qin only had a daughter after she got married. Her daughter seems to be graduating from college soon. Her stepson seems to be in his thirties too."

"Are you sure you can win over your stepson?" The stepson is already this age, he must have some skills.

"Who knows." Lao Gao clicked his tongue. "Their family has a lot of businesses. The two office buildings across from us are all owned by them. Maybe we can get a piece of the pie."

Jiang Sier lowered his head and answered a phone call, and the two of them fell silent.

After everyone walked away, Lao Gao called Yu Guo. Yu Guo was pulled aside with a confused look on his face. "Manager Gao?"

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. Are you going back to your hometown or bringing your parents to Beijing for the New Year?"

"Of course I'm going back home. I've already bought the plane ticket."

"Why don't your parents come to Jing City?"

"It's not convenient for them to go as they are old. I'd better go back." After a pause, Yu Guo didn't quite understand his distressed expression: "What's wrong?"

Lao Gao pointed at himself and then at her, "You go back to your hometown during the Spring Festival, and I'm going to take my wife abroad during the Spring Festival. What about Xiao Jiang?"

"..."

Yu Guo suddenly realized, "Yes, doesn't that mean Mr. Jiang will be alone for the New Year this year?"

In previous Spring Festivals, Xiao Jiang always had a reunion dinner with Xiao Ji and Qian Fang.

Now that these two people are not behaving like human beings, Mr. Jiang is left alone this year.

"So, I just want to ask you what your plans are for this year."

"Hiss." Yu Guo scratched his head and quickly took out his phone to check the flight tickets. "If I bring Xiao Jiang back to my house to celebrate the New Year together, do you think she will agree?"

"Agree to what?"

"Just agree..."

Jiang Si'er didn't know when he had finished the call. He appeared behind the two of them silently and blended in perfectly.

Lao Gao was startled by her. "Boss Jiang, why are you still eavesdropping on people's private conversations? We employees also need privacy."

"When did I eavesdrop?" Jiang Sier spread his hands and said with a strong sense of justice: "It was you who didn't notice me."

"..."

Jiang Sier raised his chin and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? I heard you calling me when I came here." "We were talking about..." Yu Guo sighed and looked at Lao Gao helplessly. She didn't know how to start for a moment.

Seeing this, Lao Gao had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's almost the Spring Festival, so we thought about spending the New Year with you, Mr. Jiang."

After saying that, the two carefully observed the changes in Jiang Sier's expression.

She was just slightly stunned, as if she didn't quite understand: "Why don't you all go back to your own homes and your own mothers? Why are you accompanying me? You still want to work during the New Year?"

"No, no." Lao Gao exclaimed, "We just think it's more fun when we're all together!"

Jiang Sier's mouth twitched, and he said with a look of disgust: "I am usually upset when I see you in the company. Now that we finally have a holiday to rest, let's let each other go."

Lao Gao, Yu Guo: “…” Listen, listen, is this human language?

"You can go wherever you want during the holidays. I have my own plans."

"Really?"

"Really." Jiang Sier rolled his eyes at them. "You don't really think that I have no one to spend the New Year with me except you?"

Lao Gao and Yu Guo looked at her in silence, and the doubt in their eyes was the answer they gave.

In this matter, they were both right.

Jiang Si'er didn't feel anything at first, but when they brought it up, she returned to the office and thought about it carefully. She realized that she really couldn't find anyone to spend the New Year with her.

The only person she could find was Pei Du, but she had looked at Pei Du's subsequent schedule and found that he was not in the country that day.

In this huge city of Beijing, it seems that she is the only one left.

-

As the year-end approaches, the entire company is busy.

Because there were too many things piled up before the New Year, Lu Huai's lawsuit with his old employer was moved to after the New Year.

This period of time is a good opportunity for his old employer to calm down, and both sides should try not to make things too awkward, and it would be best if the issue can be resolved in a decent manner.

On the last two days of the workday, Jiang Sier went shopping with Yu Guo after get off work.

"Mr. Jiang, do you really not need to buy anything?"

"What to buy?" After sitting in the office all day, Jiang Si'er just wanted to go out for a walk and had no plans to buy anything.

"It's New Year's goods." Yu Guo counted them on his fingers, "For example, food for the New Year, new clothes, or some decorations. Have you bought them all?"

"No." Jiang Si'er had never bought these things.

When she was young, her father bought everything for her. Later, when her father left, she spent the New Year at Qian Fang's house, so she didn't need to buy anything. Later, when she came to the palace, she didn't have to make any arrangements herself.

Yu Guo suggested: "How about I help you pick one?"

"Goodbye." Jiang Sier had no such intention. "Let's talk about it in a few days."

Anyway, she was spending the New Year alone, so it would just be a meal and a nap, and there was nothing special to prepare.

"But..." Yu Guo felt something was wrong. She could even imagine the scene on New Year's Eve when thousands of families were reunited outside the window with lights on, while Mr. Jiang was sitting alone at home watching the Spring Festival Gala like an elderly left behind.

It hurts to think about it.

"Jiang Si'er?" The two were in a stalemate when a female voice broke the deadlock.

Jiang Si'er looked over when he heard the sound and saw a girl on the opposite side pushing her wife in a wheelchair slowly walking towards them.

Yu Guo recognized the person in the wheelchair at a glance, "Mr. Jiang! That's actress Tan!"
