Jiang Cheng immediately laughed upon hearing this. "No, did you forget what you said? You said you didn't care if your friends had money or not when you made them. What you just said doesn't quite sound like that."
Hearing this, Wang Congcong smiled awkwardly. "Wasn't that because I was young and ignorant back then? I've become enlightened since meeting you. Since you're going on a date tomorrow, I'll just tag along to take a look."
If Peng Shiqi hadn't been present, Jiang Cheng would have definitely given him a piece of his mind.
You know it's a date and you're still trying to be a third wheel?
"Give me a break. I'm going for work, not for a date, okay? Just leave already. I'll call you tomorrow when it's time to head out."
"Alright, then I'll head back too. I won't stay up late."
After saying that, he glanced at Peng Shiqi. "Sister-in-law, I'm heading out first."
Peng Shiqi was stunned for several seconds by Wang Congcong's sudden "Sister-in-law."
After a few seconds, she finally looked at Jiang Cheng in realization.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had no intention of correcting him, she could only nod sheepishly.
After Wang Congcong and Chen Ting left first, Peng Shiqi and Li Man also took the initiative to suggest ending today's gathering.
Peng Shiqi spoke up, "Boss, we're heading back too. How should I send those things to your house? Won't you be away tomorrow?"
Jiang Cheng tilted his head as if he didn't understand.
"What things?"
"Those bags and clothes."
"No need to send them over. All of those are yours."
Hearing this, with a "Boom!", Peng Shiqi felt her head spinning.
Li Man, who was standing beside her, also widened her eyes and opened her mouth in shock.
Peng Shiqi blinked, thinking she had misheard. "Boss, what did you say? These things... are for me?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Weren't those all things you liked?"
Peng Shiqi was completely dazed.
She remembered the mountain of shopping bags that had been piled up in front of her earlier.
She looked at Jiang Cheng and opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time.
All these things added up to over a million yuan. Jiang Cheng just gave them to her so casually?
"Huh?" Peng Shiqi and Li Man exclaimed in unison, both frozen in place.
What? Was she hallucinating?
Li Man was also shocked. She tugged at Peng Shiqi's arm and whispered, "Qiqi, did I hear that right? Mr. Jiang said all of these are for you?"
Peng Shiqi nodded mechanically, still unable to believe it was real.
"Boss, this..."
Seeing their shocked expressions, a faint smile played on the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth. "What? You don't want them?"
"No, no," Peng Shiqi waved her hands hurriedly, a flush creeping onto her face. "It's just... so sudden, I'm having a bit of trouble processing it."
In her panic, Peng Shiqi suddenly didn't know what to say to politely refuse.
After all, he was her boss. Even if she didn't want them, she couldn't just bluntly say "I don't want them."
Li Man also chimed in from the side, "Yeah, Mr. Jiang, this is too precious. Shiqi, she..."
For any normal person, if someone bought them a million yuan worth of things for no reason...
As long as they weren't super materialistic, their first reaction would be panic.
They would think the other person had an ulterior motive.
Jiang Cheng interrupted her, "It's nothing precious. Just consider it your year-end bonus."
Hearing this, Li Man's eyes went wide.
She shook Peng Shiqi's arm. "Shiqi, this job was definitely worth it! Is it too late for me to switch careers and join your company now?"
Peng Shiqi felt both surprised and happy, but more than that, she felt apprehensive.
Peng Shiqi weighed her words carefully. "Well, Boss, I haven't been with the company for very long. This year-end bonus is too much; I don't think I can accept it."
Under normal circumstances, knowing one had received a million-yuan gift should at least cause the favorability value to rise, if not make one overjoyed.
But Peng Shiqi's favorability value had only increased by 10 points during the shopping and then stopped.
Her favorability value toward Jiang Cheng was currently only at 70 points.
Thinking about it carefully, something seemed a bit wrong.
For a guy with Jiang Cheng's qualities who was also so generous, logically speaking, not many girls could resist the temptation.
Those who could remain indifferent to him were either genetic anomalies who didn't like men, already had someone they liked, or had spiritual pursuits that transcended ordinary people and looked down on Jiang Cheng's behavior.
Obviously, the last scenario could be ruled out immediately.
After all, Peng Shiqi had been very happy throughout the shopping process.
