Chapter 19 Take You Out to Dinner

Zheng Qianqian knew everything about Jiang Jibai.

Because her mother Jiang Xiaolan had offended people from MC Group, no company dared to hire Jiang Jibai when she graduated.

In the end, for some unknown reason, she joined a fairly good-sized design company.

But the good times didn't last long, and he was fired after working there for less than a year.

The reason was that Jiang Jibai was favored by a vice president of the company, who was a married man. His wife found out about this, and naturally she couldn't let Jiang Jibai stay in the company.

After being fired, people accused her of seducing someone else's husband. No company would dare to hire her now.

Zheng Qianqian also worked in that company at the time so she knew a little bit about the situation.

Jiang Jibai came to her current company half a year after being fired, which is much smaller than her previous one.

I don’t know what she was doing during the six-month gap, but this is a big taboo in the workplace.

If she was fired again, no decent company would be willing to hire her based on her resume.

Daily expenses, rent, and her monthly medication costs are quite high, and she is forced to not quit her job for the time being.

Jiang Jibai paused, her fingers gripping the chair turning pale. She gritted her teeth and said slowly, "I'll change it."

"Hmph." Zheng Qianqian snorted disdainfully, like a victor. "If you don't want to leave, then work hard."

After saying that, she left with some documents.

Ma Lin smiled like a snake spitting out its tongue: "Thank you for your help~"

Zhu Zihan: "Then you have to revise it for us. If it's not done well, Sister Qian will get angry."

Jiang Jibai sat down powerlessly. The pile of drawings on the table were like mountains, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe. For the first time, she wanted to escape from this place extremely strongly.

A sharp pain came from her head and her headache started again. Jiang Jibai took out a small bottle of medicine from the drawer, poured out a few pills and swallowed them with water.

She must at least finish her tasks for the day before leaving get off work.

Zhang Wanwan called her and said, "Hello, sister, someone is looking for you."

Jiang Jibai: "Who?"

Zhang Wanwan saw the handsome man standing in front of her, with an invincible temperament and a cold face. She was at a loss for words for a moment. "It's... the handsome guy who was here last time."

It was inevitable that she would feel a little embarrassed to call someone "handsome guy" in front of him, and Zhang Wanwan blushed.

Jiang Jibai understood, it was Gu Moyang.

Why does this person always haunt me?

She didn't care about his purpose and didn't need to care. She only knew that she didn't want to see him.

"Tell him I'm busy and have no time. Let him go."

Jiang Jibai has a pile of pictures waiting for her, so she has no time to waste with him.

Zhang Wanwan felt embarrassed and a little scared when she met Gu Moyang's dark and sharp eyes.

The two people were having a quarrel, but she, who was the messenger, was nervous.

Zhang Wanwan forced a smile: "Jiang Jie said she was busy and worried that you would be kept waiting for a long time, so she asked you to go back first."

Gu Moyang's lips curled up: "Did she really say that?"

Zhang Wanwan didn't dare tell him the exact words, so she had to continue to talk about it: "That's about what I meant."

—

It was already 8:30 in the evening when Jiang Jibai walked out of the company.

It was completely dark, and outside was the bustling street scene and bright lights.

And once again, she walked home into the night, exhausted.

Jiang Jibai was walking towards the subway entrance when suddenly a dark blue Bentley stopped in front of her, blocking her way.

Then a man got out of the car. The man's tall and strong figure was clearly visible under the street light. He took a few steps to her. Jiang Jibai followed his steps with his eyes, and his tired heart beat uncontrollably.

Her eyes were full of confusion, why was he still here?

"you……"

"I'm waiting for you." Gu Moyang said, "Got a promotion?"

Jiang Jibai didn't know if he was mocking him, and felt a little unhappy: "No, what do you mean?"

Gu Moyang nodded, "When you came out at this point, I thought you became the boss of the company."

Sure enough, he was mocking himself.

Jiang Jibai: "We ordinary workers are not like Mr. Gu who can come and go freely. You are the ones who make the rules, and we can only obey."

Gu Moyang's heart sank: "Is someone bullying you in the company?"

Can he control her for a short while or for the rest of her life? She will have to bear the consequences when the time comes.

An autumn breeze blew over. Jiang Jibai clenched the bag in his hand, suppressing the soreness that spread across his chest: "No, Mr. Gu, don't worry about me."

Gu Moyang saw all the changes in Jiang Jibai's mood. She was like a stone, rejecting all his good intentions. Gu Moyang felt powerless, as if his heart was burned. The burning sensation spread, but he couldn't express the dull pain.

The noise from afar made the silent air less dead.

"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." Gu Moyang said. "Let me take you to dinner."

Jiang Jibai: "What does Mr. Gu need to apologize for? You saved me yesterday. I lost control of my emotions and scared you. I should be the one to apologize. You don't need to eat to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Seeing her distant look, Gu Moyang's blood began to freeze.

"Jiang Jibai." Gu Moyang clenched his fists. "We haven't sat down to have a proper meal or a proper chat since we met again. I hope we can sit down and have a proper chat."

She didn't know what else they could talk about.

However, Jiang Jibai finally agreed, even if it was just to give their relationship a decent ending.

Jiang Jibai opened the back door and got in the car.

Gu Moyang glanced at her in the rearview mirror, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, sighed softly, and thought, "Forget it, let her be. It was already a luxury for her to agree to go out for dinner with him."

Jiang Jibai also sat in the back seat last time, but she was so dizzy that she couldn't see the interior of the car clearly.

The interior of the car is all black, with leather and matte carbon fiber interwoven into a technological feel that matches Gu Moyang's cool temperament very well.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of a red hanging in front of the car. That red was the only bright color in the car.

She took a few more glances and was almost certain that it was the amulet they had obtained together from the mountain in Gu Moyang's hometown.

Gu Moyang's hometown is nestled between mountains and water. Locals and tourists alike go to the temple on the mountain to pray.

It was the first time for Jiang Jibai to go to a temple in the mountains to pray with Gu Moyang. He felt both curious and excited.

The mountain road was steep, and she insisted on going up. In the end, Gu Moyang carried her all the way up the mountain, and several blisters were formed on the soles of his feet.

That night, Gu Moyang tied the amulet on her hand, hugged her, kissed her palm and said, "Jiang Nuannuan, this is what we prayed for together. Wear it and we will never be apart."

The hot touch of the palm seemed to still be engraved in her nerves.

Never separate -

Today, this statement seems like a laughable irony.

She didn't understand why he could just say he didn't love her anymore.

The amulet was lost later. I didn’t expect that this old item from a few years ago would appear here.

What's the point of hanging here? To remind myself of my past mistakes?

Jiang Jibai turned his head away and stopped looking.

The dark blue Bentley passed through the brightly lit streets. Compared to the noise outside, the interior of the car was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
