Yang Sheng had never seen Qi Lei like this before. He chuckled and just remained silent.
However, Qi Lei’s expression darkened as he then looked at Yang Sheng. “Speaking of her, have we found out anything about that incident? I know Mu Yuchen has been investigating. Was it my old man who did that?”
“I wanted to talk to you about this. Master Qi, your initial guess wasn’t wrong. This wasn’t CEO Qi’s idea, but the car was Yue Hai’s a.s.sistant’s car. Chairman Mu should’ve found out by now already. I heard from the HR Department that Yue Hai’s a.s.sistant was fired today under CEO Qi’s orders obviously,” Yang Sheng said quietly.
Qi Lei’s eyes darkened further after hearing that from Yang Sheng. He seemed really disappointed. “I get it. There are very few reasons that would get my old man motivated. Does my mother know about this?”
“CEO w.a.n.g isn’t aware. She did send some gifts over to Chairman Mu a few days ago.”
Qi Lei closed his eyes and gave it some thought. “Okay, don’t let her know about this. Make a dinner appointment with Mu Yuchen tonight. Make sure that he comes.”
“Yes, Master Qi!”
After Yang Sheng replied, Qi Lei left the office.
…
The sun was shining brightly in the middle of the blue sky. People walking by Fatong Avenue could feel the spring breeze dancing through the trees.
Ji Zitong could feel the cold from behind her. She had struggled so much today, but in the end, she decided to fulfill her promise.
She changed into a violet windbreaker and tied her long hair into a bun. Although she did not put on any makeup as usual, she seemed much more elegant today. However, her eyes looked a little lonely, and there was also a tint of helplessness.
Her hands held her household register and identification card tightly.
After walking for a long while, she stopped and then turned around.
She raised her head and looked at the huge clock right in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau building across the street. The clock showed that it was 10.30 a.m. She waited for some time as the traffic light changed colors several cycles, then she finally mustered up some courage and walked towards the stairs.
When she took her first step onto the staircase, she felt a breeze pa.s.s by, and she heard a honk behind her. Quickly turning around, she saw a Land Rover parked nearby.
The car window rolled down. Ji Zitong looked inside and saw it was Su Chen.
Su Chen put on a cool smile when he saw her. He leaned over his car window and studied her, his voice actually gentle for once. “When I was on my way here, I wondered if you’d actually show up. Thank G.o.d that you didn’t leave me waiting awkwardly here. Ji Zitong, I’m really grateful that you’re giving me this chance.”
Ji Zitong’s quiet expression was shaken, but she smiled. “Thank you, Instructor Su, for giving me a chance as well.”
Su Chen smiled as he took off his uniform. He grabbed the coat on the front pa.s.senger seat and put it on. “I have a name. It’s called Su Chen. You can’t possibly keep calling your husband ‘Instructor Su’. Did you bring your doc.u.ments?”
Stunned for a moment, Ji Zitong nodded as her hands gripped the things in her pocket. Her palms were sweating. For some reason, she felt lost and fearful at this moment.
The man was changing elegantly into a clean suit in his car. Even though he was not in his uniform, he still had a dignified vibe around him.
Su Chen looked at her and saw the emotions in her eyes. He then averted his gaze to her shirt pocket as he spoke in a firm tone, “Give it to me!”
Ji Zitong was astonished once again. She backed away several steps as she looked at him.
Su Chen frowned as he was still staring intently at her. He smiled instead as he fixed his sleeve. “I’m giving you another 30 seconds to think about following me inside. I’ll respect your decision no matter what, but if I were you, I’d definitely go in without hesitation. There aren’t many men as good as me left in this world. It’ll be your loss if you miss this chance.”
How could there be someone so shameless in this world!?
Ji Zitong was speechless when she looked at this narcissistic man before her.
The two of them stared at each other for some time. In the end, Ji Zitong took out her stuff obediently and handed them to Su Chen.
Su Chen took them and looked through them. After confirming there was no issue, he grabbed his folder and put her doc.u.ments in. Then, he got down from the car and locked it before turning to Ji Zitong. He then spoke to her when he saw the anxiety in her eyes, “Don’t worry. I’ll use the rest of my life to prove to you that you’ve won your bet in this grand gamble.”
Ji Zitong was dazzled. She lowered her eyes and said, “The rest of your life is a long one. Don’t make overzealous promises. It’ll tarnish your reputation if you can’t fulfill it.
She then looked at the building again before finally walking forward.
Su Chen gave her words some thought. He took a deep breath and quickly followed behind her.
