None of them are fools.
Department Head Zhang used the new information as a reason to invite Gao Yue into a restaurant. Gao Yue pushed open the door of the private box and saw Department Head Zhang sitting in his seat. She untied her scarf as she sat opposite him. "Hurry up and tell me, is it related to Ji Xiaohan?"
Zhang Lu rubbed his bright eyes as he sized up the woman in front of him. The woman took off her red scarf, revealing her fair skin, and her low-cut gray sweater covered her pride. When she leaned over to ask, Zhang Lu couldn"t breathe.
"Xiao Yue, it"s good that you"re pretty. Anyone of you wearing any random set of clothes would be as beautiful as a fairy." Zhang Lu did not answer the question directly and praised her with a smile.
She immediately sat up straight, adjusted her collar, and said lightly: "Department Head Zhang, it"s better to talk business. I got Ji Xiaohan"s personal business card and purposely left him out for a few days, I wanted to call him tomorrow and officially accept his invitation. It"s best if I could arrange a job of meeting him everyday, then everything would be perfect."
Zhang Lu wasn"t in the mood to talk about work at the moment. He was about to be fired from his job. His purpose today was to let this woman drink with him. It would be best if he could get drunk on her.
"Xiao Yue, you are so young and yet you have so much fighting spirit. You are truly a rarely seen strong lady. Come, let me toast you and wish you success in your plan." Zhang Lu quickly filled his gla.s.s and handed it over.
"Then we"ll be borrowing Department Head Zhang"s auspicious words." Gao Yue was quite confident in herself. She carried the wine to her cup, clinked it, and finished it.
Zhang Lu was shocked when he saw the way this woman drank. He could already be considered magnanimous, but this woman drank half of the gla.s.s of red wine in one gulp. If he wanted to take her down, he would need more strength.
"Oh right, Department Head Zhang, I heard that something has happened to you recently. I wonder if it"s serious?" Gao Yue"s eyes were still quite sharp, purposely teasing him.
"It"s nothing, it"s just that Vice President has followed me for so many years, trying to find an opportunity for me to have a good rest. Look, I"m over forty years old, and I don"t even have a proper girlfriend. As Department Head Zhang spoke, he couldn"t help but turn his gaze towards Gao Yue.
Gao Yue chuckled, "Department Head Zhang, aren"t you overestimating yourself? With your status, isn"t it obvious what kind of girlfriend you"re looking for?"
"Maybe I was just picking him out, there were also some ladies who expressed their goodwill towards me previously, but I didn"t feel anything at all, Xiao Yue, if I had known you a few years ago, I might not have been alone until now." Zhang Lu finally couldn"t hold back and confessed to her. Although he said it in a joking tone, his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
Gao Yue"s heart jolted. Her astute eyes turned around as she put down her wine cup and picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat. "Department Head Zhang praising me so highly. Unfortunately, I already have someone in my heart, and I have no way to help Department Head Zhang solve his personal problems."
Hearing that, Zhang Lu"s face instantly became ugly: "Xiao Yue, you seduced Ji Xiaohan, it was just one of your missions, aren"t you taking it too seriously?"
"There"s no helping it, Ji Xiaohan is just attracting me. At the moment, other than him, I really don"t think much of others." Gao Yue casually said as she glanced at the ugly expression on Zhang Lu"s face. In her heart, she was laughing coldly. Could it be that this Zhang Lu wanted to make a move against her? If he didn"t look in the mirror, what face would he have?
"Xiao Yue, you are asking for trouble, even if Ji Xiao Han really likes you, you can"t stay here for long, he is the partner of Vice President Ling Mo Feng, and when the Old President is elected next year, the first two people he has to take care of, do you think that Ji Xiao Han will be able to earn that much money safely? Besides, if he knew you were the woman the President had sent to seduce him, he"d probably kill you. " Zhang Chi immediately told her about the serious consequences. He hoped that she would wake up and not have any more unrealistic dreams.
Gao Yue suddenly slammed her hand on the table, "Department Head Zhang, is there something wrong with your head? I am someone that the President has personally picked, yet you are trying to make me retreat? Do you want me to go and talk to the President about this right now? I think you"re going to have a lifetime off this holiday. "
"Xiao Yue, you must be joking. Why are you being so serious? Let"s not talk anymore. Eat and drink properly, okay? " Zhang Lu was still scared, so he quickly tried to persuade her.
Only then did Gao Yue sit back down. With a slight snort, she asked, "Department Head Zhang, you like me, right?"
Zhang Lu was shocked.
"All of you men are laughable. Seeing beautiful women, it"s as if you"ve lost your soul. However, you know your own limits, so I"m very clear on what you"re pla
ing!" Gao Yue wasn"t an idiot. Moreover, she was smarter than most women. She directly exposed Zhang Lu"s unbearable thoughts.
Zhang Lu"s face turned red.
"Gao Yue, since you know that I like you, aren"t you afraid that I"ll ruin your plans if you treat me like this?" Zhang Lu immediately laughed sinisterly. Since there was the risk of a falling out, he didn"t want to pretend to be a gentleman anymore.
"Do you dare? Wasn"t Ji Lin the best example? Offending someone from the old president is not worth living. Department Head Zhang, how many lives do you think you have left to take the risk? " Gao Yue"s smile deepened and her words became sharp. Zhang Lu had nothing to say.
Speaking of Ji Lin"s fate, Zhang Lu felt his heart tighten in pain. Ji Lin committed suicide. He took out a knife and directly made two circles on his heart. His body was badly mangled and he also looked at Ji Lin"s corpse at that time, the shadow of his life.
Gao Yue stood up with her hands behind her back, looked at Zhang Lu coldly and arrogantly and said, "Department Head Zhang, the reason you invited me here today was not to tell me new news, but to take the opportunity to get drunk and do something to me?"
"Gao Yue, aren"t you a bit too confident? That"s right, I admit that you"re pretty, but you"re really underestimating me when you think like that. What kind of beauty have I, Zhang Lu, not seen before?" Zhang Lu immediately retorted in embarra.s.sment and anger.
"If I guessed wrong, that"s for the best. I apologize to you, but I shouldn"t doubt your sincerity, so, I have to go now, I still need to contact Ji Xiaohan tomorrow, I need to go back and have a beauty sleep, and have enough energy to properly meet this man." Gao Yue wisely chose to leave, not wasting any time to accompany Zhang Lu and drink with him.
Zhang Lu"s expression turned extremely ugly when he heard the insulting words from Gao Yue before she left.
"d.a.m.ned woman, don"t be too proud." Zhang Lu knew that there was no chance for him to make a move on Gao Yue. That woman was too defensive and smart to take into account his purpose. This woman was too scary.
However, the rose with thorns was still very attractive. Zhang Lu was unable to succeed now, but that did not mean that he would not be able to succeed in the future. He believed that the old president would definitely help him stand up again.
The next day, Gao Yue actually called Ji Xiaohan. With the blessings of the New Year, she told him the result of her consideration. It was exactly Ji Xiaohan"s expected answer. She would report to his company after the new year.
After getting an affirmative answer, Gao Yue"s mood became indescribable and she felt a sense of victory. Initially, she took the initiative to apply, but she was unable to apply. Now, Ji Xiaohan personally invited her back to work.
This year, many things had happened, and everyone was very complicated in their hearts, but they were very happy as well. Life was never smooth sailing, accompanied by wind and rain, but they were able to bear witness to precious feelings and love. During this year, the two Ji Family brothers had also received their most beautiful love, and they would be like treasures to their partners.
