Chapter 720 - Young Madam
Visiting a construction site for inspection was routine work for Jin Liwei. The moment he decided for himself that he really wanted to succeed as the next head of Jin Corporation back when he was still a teenager, he immediately became serious working for the company. He shadowed his father, the former President-CEO, in order to learn how to run their company firsthand. The most valuable lessons that he learned about business came from Grandpa Lu though, but only when the old man wasn't gallivanting around the world.
Part of his learning experience was accompanying his father to construction sites for project inspections. It was something expected of the company head, so he had to train for it. He had inspected countless construction sites since he was a teenager that now it had become not that big of a deal, just part of work.
This was why he wasn't worried at all when he travelled out of town to visit this particular construction site today with his assistant Xu Tian and the other key figures that he assigned to manage the project. All of them wore safety gears as they toured inside the place and greeted all the workers who stopped what they were doing to stand in attention to him, the President-CEO.
At the moment, they were on the ground floor looking around the interior of the huge building currently being constructed. Everything still looked like a skeleton, but Jin Liwei could already imagine how it would look like once it was finished based on how the chief engineer and the project manager were explaining and describing the details to him.
While they moved to another area, he turned to his assistant and asked in a quiet voice. "Any updates from Xiulan?"
"Dominic texted just now saying that Miss Long is finishing up her photo shoot," Xu Tian answered.
"Young Madam."
Xu Tian was confused. "Sir?"
"Address Xiulan as Young Madam or Mrs. Jin. She's going to be my wife soon."
"Understood, President. My apologies." Xu Tian's phone lit up and vibrated. It was another message from Dominic. "Young Madam just finished her photo shoot. It seems that she's on a roll today so they wrapped up early. The photographer is very pleased with Young Madam. They're now preparing to leave.""Good," Jin Liwei said with a nod. "Ask Dominic how she's feeling."
Xu Tian typed quickly on his phone. Just a few seconds later, Dominic's reply arrived. "It says that the young madam is feeling a little dizzy because she didn't get enough sleep last night. Oh, Dominic sent a photo."
Jin Liwei took the phone and viewed the photo. It showed his baby girl curled on a sofa in what looked like a busy dressing room where various clothing, accessories, makeup, snacks and other whatnot were strewn all over the place. But what caught his attention was the pillow she was hugging like a teddy bear. It was his pillow she wrapped with his sleeping robe this morning. Her nose was pressed against it, no doubt taking comfort in smelling his scent. The sight made his mouth curve upwards, even as he worried about her dizziness at the same time.
They now reached their next location, so he handed the phone back to Xu Tian but not before instructing him. "Remind Dominic and the others to take Xiulan straight home and to take care of her."
"Yes, President."
"Also take some photos of me during today's inspection and send them to her. Then tell her that I'm safe so there's no need to worry about me."
Xu Tian was a bit surprised by the first part of the instruction, so he was a couple of beats slow before responding. "Yes. Understood, President."
The inspection lasted well past lunchtime. They were a little behind schedule because Jin Liwei noticed some issues during the tour and had to discuss solutions with the team.
While all of these were happening, Xu Tian followed Jin Liwei's instructions and was taking candid photos of him from every angle. The others were all looking at him weirdly at first, but when they noticed that their President-CEO wasn't reprimanding him but was even allowing him to take pictures, they stopped bothering about it. Xu Tian then chose the best shots among the photos and sent them all to Miss Long—oops, it should be Young Madam now.
Finally, the inspection was over. Everyone released a big sigh of relief. They were all tense the entire time due to the President-CEO's presence.

Xu Tian's phone vibrated again. He looked quite surprised when he read the message. Then he leaned closer to Jin Liwei and whispered, "The young madam says that since you didn't let her send you lunch today, she'll send lunches to all the construction workers here instead. She booked a couple of eateries nearby to deliver food for everyone."
"Oh?" Jin Liwei raised both eyebrows before his usual icy expression melted a little to reveal a doting smile, causing the people around him to stare at him like idiots. "Do we get a share of the lunch, too?"
"Uh no, sir. We don't get any, only the construction workers. The young madam says that President already told her that you'll be treating the higher-ups in this project to a restaurant for lunch." Xu Tian hesitated before asking, "Do I ask the young madam to give us lunches instead?"
Jin Liwei chuckled. "No need. Tell Xiulan I received her unspoken message and learned my lesson to not forget about the construction workers next time. And also, make sure that everyone knows that it's my fiancée who's providing them with lunch today."
Xu Tian obeyed and immediately worked on fulfilling his boss' instructions while the others remained in shock at seeing their President-CEO not only smiling but also laughing today. It seemed that the rumours about him mellowing due to his celeb fiancée Iris Long was indeed true.
