136: You are really good at pretending.

As soon as Qin Jiang spoke, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Ge Qiang’s smile froze on his face, and Reporter Wu also recalled that when they went for the interview before, they indeed saw a very high-end reclining chair in the office.

Ge Qiang had said at the time that the reclining chair was specially bought by his employees for him to rest, but he hardly ever used it.

Now it seems that what Ge Qiang said might not be very credible.

Ge Qiang glanced at Qin Jiang, wanting to speak but hesitating.

He really wanted Qin Jiang to cooperate with him, after all, he was being interviewed.

But Qin Jiang seemed to not understand, and said to Ge Qiang, “It’s fine, you do your interview, I’ll watch mine, if there are any problems, I’ll speak directly.”

Ge Qiang was on the verge of collapse.

Who wants you to speak directly!

It’s precisely because you speak directly that I don’t dare to let people continue the interview!

Ge Qiang cleared his throat and explained to Reporter Wu, “Occasionally, when I’m particularly tired, I do rest on that reclining chair for a bit.”

“But I also leave work quite late at night. Generally, I finish work at 11:30 PM, spend half an hour organizing the day’s work, and then go to bed at midnight.”

As Ge Qiang said this, he nervously glanced at Qin Jiang.

Thankfully, Qin Jiang didn’t speak up to expose him.

Reporter Wu continued to ask, “So it seems Mr. Ge, you work quite hard, your daily working hours are very long.”

Ge Qiang sighed.

“Being a boss, that’s just how it is; you must lead by example.”

“If you yourself don’t work hard, then what right do you have to ask your employees to work hard with you?”

“This is just my personality; if I want to make a good product, I will put my heart into it.”

“I won’t complain about 996 like others; here, all my time is dedicated to work.”

Ge Qiang’s words made the netizens in the live broadcast room very uncomfortable.

“Who is this person? He’s too pretentious.”

“He’s clearly a black-hearted boss, the kind who encourages overtime and a wolf-like culture.”

“He goes to the company to sleep, employees go to the company to work. Can these two be confused?”

“Yeah, didn’t you see his face turn green when Dr. Qin said he went so early to sleep? He’s too good at faking it.”

Just as the netizens were excitedly complaining, Qin Jiang finally reached a conclusion.

“You have a gastric ulcer, and there’s already inflammation in your body. The situation is quite serious, and if you don’t pay attention, it’s very likely to develop into a gastric perforation.”

“I’ll prescribe you a few doses of Banxia Xiexin Tang. Take them home and decoct them. During this period, you must pay attention to a light diet, do not drink alcohol, and do not frequently eat hot or cold foods.”

As soon as Qin Jiang finished speaking, two assistants walked in from outside carrying a box.

“Mr. Ge, these are the latest batch of products today.”

While Qin Jiang was still writing the medical advice, the two assistants, right in front of him, took out the contents of the box and spread them out, covering the entire table.

Qin Jiang looked closely and found that they were all ice creams, and all of them were the same flavor.

Just as Qin Jiang was puzzled, Ge Qiang picked up an ice cream, tore open the packaging, and took a big bite.

Seeing this scene almost made Qin Jiang laugh out of anger.

He had just said not to eat hot or cold things recently, and yet Ge Qiang ate an ice cream right in front of him?

Reporter Wu looked at the ice cream on the table and realized it was a product from Ge Qiang’s company.

He quickly asked, “Mr. Ge, is this a new product from your company?”

Ge Qiang shook his head, “No.”

“Since it’s not, then why are you still eating it?”

Ge Qiang explained earnestly, “We require every factory to send a random sample from each batch of ice cream to me, and I have to eat all of them.”

Ge Qiang took another bite as he spoke.

Qin Jiang reminded him from the side, “If you keep eating like this, your gastric ulcer might worsen.”

Ge Qiang explained to Qin Jiang, “Doctor, there’s no other way, this is my job.”

When Ge Qiang said this, his face showed more pride than helplessness, or rather, a kind of showing off.

It was as if he knew he was doing something unconventional, but he enjoyed the astonished looks people gave him for his behavior.

It’s like when there were always one or two Little Girls who would do something unconventional to attract their parents’ attention.

To put it nicely, they’re attention-seekers; to put it harshly, they’re pretentious.

Qin Jiang would not give any face to such pretentious people.

Qin Jiang said indifferently, “If your condition worsens, at its most severe, you might need surgery. You should weigh your options carefully.”

Ge Qiang ignored Qin Jiang’s reminder, opened another ice cream, and took a bite.

Qin Jiang shook his head.

Good advice is hard to give to those who are determined to be foolish.

Reporter Wu took the opportunity to ask, “Mr. Ge, how many ice creams do you typically eat in a day, eating like this?”

Reporter Wu’s question stumped Ge Qiang.

He actually just thought of putting on a show because there was an interview today.

How would he know how many he usually eats?

Ge Qiang did not answer the question of how many he ate.

He simply avoided the main point and said, “Let me put it this way: sometimes when I come over early in the morning, I eat more ice creams than what’s laid out here.”

“Do you know what it feels like to eat so many so early in the morning?”

“Your whole stomach feels like an ice block; I often don’t recover for the entire day.”

Qin Jiang crossed his arms over his chest, quietly watching Ge Qiang show off.

Mm, you keep talking, I’m listening.

I want to see if you’ll cry and beg me to treat you later.

The netizens in the live broadcast room also couldn’t stand it anymore.

“This person is too pretentious, eating so many ice creams every day? If he can eat them all, I’ll kowtow to him!”

“So their company doesn’t have quality control? Do they still have to use such a primitive method to check if each batch of ice cream meets quality standards?”

“It shows that their company’s products haven’t achieved mechanized production at all. If there were fixed formulas and assembly lines, there wouldn’t be quality issues, let alone taste issues.”

“This boss is clearly a master of evasiveness. You see, he doesn’t answer the reporter how many he eats every day. He blurs the concept; he just wants to show how dedicated he is to the product’s taste.”

“I think I’ve bought his family’s ice cream before; sixty yuan each, ridiculously expensive.”

Just as netizens were complaining, Ge Qiang, who was eating ice cream, suddenly frowned, feeling something was wrong with his stomach.

Qin Jiang picked up his teacup and took a sip, smirking repeatedly.

Little rascal, feeling it now, are you?

Reporter Wu also noticed that Ge Qiang’s complexion was a bit off.

“Mr. Ge, are you feeling unwell?”

Ge Qiang forced himself to wave his hand, squeezing out a smile and saying, “It’s nothing, just an old problem. Let’s continue.”
