Chapter 69 Jealousy "Are you willing to make me angry and jealous?" ...

"But last time we had a fight, I told you I didn't like you dancing with him."

Qiao Ruoying looked up in surprise, blinking her dark lychee eyes, with a gleam in them.

"Are you willing to make me angry?" Jiang Zong also glanced at her with his peach blossom eyes, his gaze cold.

Hearing him say this, she understood Jiang Zongye's thinking: although they broke up, before the breakup, he told her that he didn't like her dancing with other men.

So, if she knew he would be angry about it, why did she do it?

Did Jiang Zong also think that she shouldn't make him angry and sad? Thinking about how she made him angry and sad, Qiao Ruoying actually felt a little guilty.

But she thought again, he is no longer her boyfriend now, why should she be obligated to restrain herself to satisfy him?

In this matter, Qiao Ruoying did not intend to give in to him.

The dance is already two-thirds done. If we disrupt the group and rehearse again just because he said "I'll be angry", wouldn't that cause trouble for our colleagues?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ruoying said calmly:

"We broke up after the fight. Now that I'm single, it's my freedom to dance with whomever I want."

Jiang Zongye's eyelids twitched, and he said calmly, "Yingying, don't forget. Last time we had a fight, you said you didn't like me associating with Chen Luyao, so I changed my mind. I don't have any contact with her at all now."

To this end, Jiang Zongye even made a special call to Old Man Chen. After some pleasantries and discussions, Old Man Chen promised over the phone, "I'll let Lulu come back tomorrow."

The next day, Chen Luyao boarded a private plane back to North City.

In other words, even after they broke up, Jiang Zong still took care of her and was reluctant to do anything to make her unhappy.

"Well, at that time, I didn't like you to have any contact with her." She touched her cheek lightly with the back of her slender hand, hesitated, and said:

"But right now, it's not something I have the authority to control, and I don't really care."

Actually, I still care a little.

But she knew that she had no right to care about these trivial matters, and she simply stopped thinking about things that could not be changed.

She is not like Jiang Zongye, who has no boundaries and no shame.

Qiao Ruoying also hopes that he understands that she has no right to interfere in his affairs, and he cannot control who she dances with.

"No, you have the authority. You can control me if you want."

Jiang Zong also spoke in a low voice, but his voice was firm.

Although she didn't want to be controlled by him, he was willing to be controlled by her.

Jiang Zong also tightened his jawline, staring at her with a serious look in his eyes and speaking clearly: "No matter what, I will pay more attention to keeping a distance between myself and the opposite sex. Even if we have work dealings, I will not let them enter or leave my office."

“…”

Qiao Ruoying's eyes widened, and Lizhi's eyes were shining with surprise that could not be concealed.

Is Big Boss saying that even after breaking up, he still has to maintain his virtuous character? Does he still want to remain a virgin?

Continue to be loyal to her?

"Mr. Jiang, will this really not affect your future marriage?" Qiao Ruoying couldn't help but ask. If he remained a virgin, he would miss out on many other girls.

Hearing her ask this, Jiang Zong's face became even darker. What was the point of talking about future marriage or not? She was obviously the only person he wanted to marry!

Sometimes he wondered if Qiao Ruoying was being "pampered" by his affection for her? Couldn't she know that he only wanted to marry her?

But he couldn't tell him these thoughts yet. He could only take it slow and steady.

Jiang Zong fell silent again. Qiao Ruoying was anxious to leave, so she said, "Mr. Jiang, it's his own business. Mr. Jiang should make his own decision."

"Nothing, I'll go back first.

"She took out her cell phone and glanced at the time on the screen. In five minutes, it would be the group's normal working time, and she didn't want her colleagues to come out of the office and see her and Jiang Zong talking.

Jiang Zong also looked down and saw that the tip of her shoes was pointing towards the door, and she clearly wanted to leave. He could only tell himself to restrain himself again and again, because Yingying didn't like him to interfere too much in her affairs.

Yingying...should also know her limits, right?

I won’t be tricked into winning over by that brat from the design department so quickly, will I?

"Then you go back." Jiang Zong also suppressed his unhappiness and agreed.

"...good."

She had not taken a few steps when she suddenly heard Jiang Zong behind her calling out in a low voice, "Qiao Ruoying."

She stopped and turned around.

Jiang Zong also adjusted the platinum cuffs at his sleeves and said calmly:

"Since the company doesn't prohibit office romances anymore, and you and I have already broken up, I don't think I need to keep the fact that we were in a relationship a secret anymore."

When he said this, his tone was very firm. It was not a discussion, but a notification.

-

Until returning to the rehearsal room, Qiao Ruoying still couldn't figure out why Jiang Zongye said that "he would no longer hide the fact that they had talked."

If the group's employees knew that he, the chairman and CEO of the group, was in love with a junior administrative assistant, wouldn't it affect the good image he established in front of all employees?

Since they broke up, he wouldn't have to hide it if he didn't want to. Qiao Ruoying had no objection to this.

What she didn't know was.

Jiang Zong was also "expert and calculating". Since he had broken up with her, he could no longer interfere with her future contacts with others. He also wanted to let these men carefully consider their own worth and whether they were qualified to pursue Qiao Ruoying.

Furthermore, he was also paving the way for his pursuit of Qiao Ruoying again.

This time, he didn't plan to hide it and let all the employees in the group know that he was pursuing her.

After Qiao Ruoying almost had to change her dance partner and was called out of the rehearsal room, the group's employees' gossip radars began to turn on.

Qiao Ruoying, this beautiful lady in the administrative department, is probably dating some high-ranking official, right?

"Tell me, who is Qiao Ruoying talking to? He's so mysterious and seems to be someone very important."

"Is it Vice President Li Shengjie? I heard gossip from someone in the Chengnan factory that when Qiao Ruoying went to work in Chengnan, Li Shengjie specifically asked her to be his assistant."

"I think I saw her get into Mr. Jiang's car."

"Impossible! Isn't Mr. Jiang and Chen Luyao having a passionate affair? With Miss Chen's personality, how could she allow Mr. Jiang to have another woman?"

While Zeng Fan was using the restroom, he heard heated discussions coming from the cubicle.

In recent days, "Who is Qiao Ruoying's boyfriend" has become the hottest topic within the group.

Every time Zeng Fan heard people talking about Qiao Ruoying and linking her to Li Shengjie and Jiang Zongye, he would think, I guessed wrong, how could she be related to a big shot like President Jiang?

She was just "kept" by an old, fat, ugly nouveau riche.

Whenever he saw others discussing things in a confused manner with different opinions, Zeng Fan would feel a sense of superiority as if he knew the truth.

Recently, the group has been organizing its annual team-building activities, where everyone goes to Yunting Qiuyuan to enjoy the snow, barbecue, make tea around the fire, play cards, play board games, etc.

The group’s annual team-building activities are always exciting, so employees sign up very enthusiastically.

Today, Jiang Zong also left work early and took Sirius5 to Golden Home.

Behind the silver-gray body of Sirius5, there was a truck with two professional movers sitting inside.

Arriving at Golden Home, Li Zheng negotiated with the people at the express station, showed the pickup code, and directed the porters to move the boxes onto the truck.

Jiang Zong also stood at the door of the express delivery station. He was tall and slender, with outstanding temperament. He was out of tune with the heavy worldly atmosphere around him, causing passers-by to look back at him frequently.

Jiang Zong also thought about it, opened the door of the apartment building and went upstairs.

He was going to the house that Qiao Ruoying had rented.

He went up to the third floor, turned left, and arrived at the door of the rental house. He saw that the door was half-open, and Jiang Zong also knocked lightly on the door.

"Who is it?" An old lady's hoarse voice came from inside.

"I came to see the house." Jiang Zongye said.

This small house holds too many beautiful memories for him and Qiao Ruoying. Every night when he returns home and lies on the bed, as soon as he closes his eyes, Jiang Zong recalls every little detail of his time in this rental house.

He didn't want anyone else to live there.

Hearing that someone was looking at the house, the old landlady who was cleaning the house came out quickly. Seeing Jiang Zongye, a handsome young man in a suit and tie, she took two steps back suspiciously:

"Young man, is it you who wants to live here?"

"Yes, I want to buy it. If it's suitable, we can sign the contract now."

The young man's attire and demeanor didn't look like someone who lived in a rental house. The old lady thought she had run into some kind of scam.

After some communication, the old lady finally believed that this handsome young man really wanted to buy the house.

"Tomorrow, my assistant will come to your house in person to sign an agreement with your son." Jiang Zong also assured her.

"Okay. Then come in and take a look at the house?"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. She felt much more at ease after signing the agreement with her son.

She welcomed Jiang Zong in and muttered:

"The previous tenant of this house was a cute and clean little girl. As soon as she moved in, she pulled out the floor drain on the terrace and cleaned it."

The old lady kept talking, not knowing that the "previous tenant" she was talking about was Qiao Ruoying, the "ex-girlfriend" of the handsome young man in front of her.

Hearing the old lady talking about the "little girl", saying that the little girl was clean, well-mannered and pretty, Jiang Zongye couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.

Jiang Zong also followed the old lady to the living room.

On the sofa, he saw a long-eared, yellow-skinned doll with big eyes and two small pink spots on its round face.

He recognized this doll.

During the week he was on a business trip in Germany, he often made video calls with Qiao Ruoying. When Yingying was lying on the bed watching variety shows, she hugged the long-eared doll in her arms, saying "use it to protect my chest", which made him laugh and cry.

Qiao Ruoying told him that this doll was called Usaqi.

In the past, he always thought that the Usagi doll was childish and had a devilish smile, but now he felt close to it, especially when he thought of how it loyally guarded Yingying. It was plump and soft, and there would be red marks when you touched it, which were faintly visible behind Usagi's ears.

The old lady saw him touching the doll's long ears for a long time without saying anything. She couldn't help but say, "This doll was left behind by the little girl before. She must have been in a hurry to move and forgot to take it. She took good care of it."

Jiang Zongye immediately said, "I want to take this doll away."

Just take it away. It’s not worth much and it takes up space.

The old lady agreed.

Just looking at the way Jiang Zongye took the doll into his arms, the old lady thought, this grown-up guy, who is 1.9 meters tall, with a strong and sturdy figure, why does he like such a childish little toy?

Early on Saturday morning, a number of comfortable and spacious buses were parked in the Fountain Square, waiting for employees to gather from all directions and then take them to Yunting Qiuyuan.

Two buses started from the group headquarters.

Five minutes later, Taehyung's "Sirius5" driven by Lao Li also started slowly, the engine roared, and drove out of the parking space.

In the back seat of the car, Li Shengjie was rubbing his sleepy eyes with dark circles under his eyes. He had been pulled out of his warm bed half an hour ago by a call from Jiang Zongye.

It's the weekend, and the workaholic Jiang Zong wants him to work overtime too?

Li Shengjie was originally very unhappy, but when Jiang Zongye said that he asked him to get up because he wanted him to be a wingman in the team-building activity, Li Shengjie suddenly became energetic.

"What? Jason, you got a new girl you're interested in?"

"How is that possible? It's just that Xiaoying and I broke up, and I want to get her back."

What?

Li Shengjie's panda eyes widened, and he became more alert:

I didn't expect that Jiang Zongye would be dumped one day.

Then he had to be the wingman! He had to join in the fun and watch the excitement.

On the bus.

Because they had gotten up so early, the whole bus was dozing off, and the office workers were trying to catch up on some shut-eye. "Tap, tap, tap," the phones resting on their knees began to chime rhythmically, and they grabbed them to check.

Lily sent a group notification to the work group: "@Everyone, for today's team-building activity, CEO Jason Jiang and Vice CEO Levi Li will also be joining us. Don't feel awkward, just play as usual."

What?

The No. 1 and No. 2 executives at the company were planning to attend a team-building event for their tiny administrative department. Was this the sun rising from the west?

This news woke up everyone's remaining sleepiness. They quickly got up, touched their hair, and looked in the mirror. After all, in front of the extremely handsome boss, they had to present a good image.

"Boss Jiang is coming! Should we go and ask him to give everyone a bigger year-end bonus during the barbecue?"

"Whoever took the lead in instigating this, my year-end bonus really increased, I will regard him as my second parent."

"Jack, I'll remember you. You said you wanted the boss to give you a bigger year-end bonus. You better say that to his face."

The employees were laughing and making a noise.

Although I was a little nervous about the arrival of Jiang Zongye and Li Shengjie, I was also full of anticipation.

Qiao Ruoying also saw the notification in the group and felt a little nervous, but then she reminded herself not to think too much, as Jiang Zong might not be coming for her.
