Chapter 126: Kindness is Taken for granted

Jiang Yuan didn't find any information about Yin Dong's ex-girlfriend, and he had never mentioned her.

She didn't want to fall into Liang Zhouheng's trap, but she couldn't help asking, "Who is his ex-girlfriend?"

Liang Zhouheng looked at her with a smile but no words, pretending to be mysterious and said, "You can't tell him this, it will offend him. Don't be so curious, just grasp the present moment."

Liang Zhouheng's words seemed to have planted a hook in Jiang Yuan's heart. The more he kept it a secret, the more she wanted to find out the truth. It was not because of a woman's jealousy or envy, but she just wanted to know how far he would go for a woman if he really fell in love with her.

Jiang Yuan resisted the urge to ask further questions. Liang Zhouheng, noticing her silence, jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous? If you're really jealous, go up and see what they're doing alone in the office."

Jiang Yuan knew Liang Zhouheng was trying to sow discord, but she didn't care. "Thank you for your kindness, but gossiping behind someone's back and undermining their character and innocence is not the way of a gentleman."

Liang Zhouheng suppressed his laughter and feigned anger: "Your kindness is taken for granted. Don't cry if you are completely lost after being fooled by him."

Jiang Yuan curled her lips, said nothing, and turned back to the office.

She had just sat down for a while when she saw Director Lin Zhi walking in from the office door. The sound of her high heels drilling into her eardrums, followed by the sound of someone greeting Lin Zhi. Jiang Yuan stared at the computer in front of her without looking away, not intending to turn her head.

The "tapping" sound was getting closer and closer, and along with that sound, a very familiar smell of nicotine slowly flowed into her nostrils.

Yin Dong is a heavy smoker, and he only smokes one brand of cigarettes. The smell of that cigarette is very special, like the smell emitted by the burning branches of a century-old pine tree. It is not unpleasant, and the smell is very light. Only if you stay close to him for a long time will you be contaminated with this smell.

Lin Zhi had walked past Jiang Yuan in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yuan looked at her nimble back, and Liang Zhouheng's nonsensical words suddenly echoed in her ears again.

Jiang Yuan felt that it must be because of her disgust for Lin Zhi that her heart felt like a mixture of all five flavors. She couldn't tell whether it was sour or bitter. Even when she imagined the possible scenes that might happen, her chest felt suffocated and she couldn't breathe.

Lin Zhi had just sat back in the director's office when the phone next to him rang.

She glanced down and saw the words "Jiang Yu" light up on the flickering screen.

She was inexplicably irritated, and the ringing lasted for dozens of seconds before she picked up the phone.

"Inconvenient? If it's inconvenient, I'll hang up."

Jiang Yu deliberately lowered her voice on the phone.

Lin Zhi adjusted her tone and lowered her voice to reply, "I just came out of his office and you called me. Are you so impatient?"

Jiang Yu instantly changed his tone to a serious one: "I'm concerned about you. How was your first day at work? Are you adapting well?"

Lin Zhi replied with a cold face: "Come on, stop pretending to be nice to me. You took great pains to get me here just to get me to clear the obstacles for you. Let me tell you, this matter is not that simple."

The woman on the other end of the phone lowered her voice noticeably: "He stepped forward to stop it?"

Lin Zhi: "He personally nominated Jiang Yuan as the financial manager, and I objected. Haha, he choked me to death with those two words."

Jiang Yu said impatiently, "What did he say? Did he admit that they were in a relationship?"

Lin Zhi repeated everything Yin Dong had said in the office in detail, and added at the end, "I think he's really interested in this girl. It doesn't seem like he's just playing around with her. Don't underestimate her."

There was silence on the other end for a full ten seconds before a voice came back, "Get used to the work first, and be patient."

Lin Zhi and Jiang Yu were classmates and best friends who lived in the same dormitory at university. They knew each other's personalities too well. Jiang Yu wasn't the type to hold her composure, so Lin Zhi asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Jiang Yu: "Yeah."
