Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The spy battle between the president and his wife...

An hour later, Jiang Yue called Yao Jingjing into the office.

Yao Jingjing walked to Jiang Yue's desk with a nervous mood, and saw Jiang Yue looking at the employee evaluation results of the previous quarter.

Yao Jingjing's heart tightened, and her tone became hesitant: "Jiang, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yue didn't reply immediately, which made Yao Jingjing even more nervous.

"Sit down first." Jiang Yue said.

She sat down, but felt very uncomfortable.

After several minutes, Jiang Yue put down the assessment form in his hand and looked up at her.

There was a seriousness and scrutiny in that look that made Yao Jingjing dare not look.

Then his deep voice rang out, "Zhang Cheng said you made several verbal overtures to him. The night before last, you were the one who claimed you were drunk and dragged him to your hotel room. Even after we got there, you wouldn't let him leave. He thought you liked him, so he stayed in your room."

Yao Jingjing immediately denied it, "Of course not, he's talking nonsense, it was clearly him..."

Jiang Yue interrupted her: "I know you think Wen Yao can testify for you, but she doesn't know anything about what happened before that, right?"

"But……"

"For me, this is a Rashomon. Both of you have no evidence to support your words. As for Zhang Cheng, I hired him with a high salary. His work ability is obvious to all." Jiang Yue said.

Yao Jingjing was speechless, tears streaming down her face. "He really is lying. How could I possibly hint at him..."

Jiang Yue then said, "Don't worry, I didn't say you'd have to be the one to leave."

Yao Jingjing looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Yue continued, "Do you remember the work I assigned to you? That is the focus of your work now. These employee assessments and the like are not important."

Yao Jingjing quickly remembered her current job, her face turned pale, and she dared not breathe.

Jiang Yue glanced at her and said quickly, "Actually, I know you would tell her the truth under those circumstances. After all, she saved you. This is a basic human bond, and I can't blame you."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. I was..." Yao Jingjing cried, "I felt so guilty. My wife saved me in that situation, and I was so embarrassed to lie to her."

Jiang Yue replied, "Let's just leave it at that. Since you've confessed to me, let it go. Zhang Cheng will leave the company tomorrow, and your reputation won't be affected. But... today's incident is between you and me, so don't tell my wife anymore."

Yao Jingjing nodded quickly.

Watching Yao Jingjing leave the office, Jiang Yue leaned back in his chair with a calm look.

So now comes the second scenario: She knows who the person she's chatting with is, but she's pretending not to know.

Why?

Jiang Yue really doesn't like to try to figure out women's thoughts, especially those who write or read romance novels and are simple-minded and emotional.

Originally, he was not too worried about Wen Yao, but she had a special identity. She was the creator of this world, which forced him to be cautious.

In the first case, she loves him and knows that he lets others deceive her, but she dares not expose it for fear of losing him.

The second situation is that she doesn't love him, and the reason she didn't expose him is that she has her own plans.

So the key question is whether she really fell in love with him. If so, then everything is fine. If not...

That was a serious situation, he didn't even know her purpose.

Jiang Yue opened WeChat on his computer and looked at the chat history between "JY" played by Yao Jingjing and "The Girl Who Can't Make a Wish".

They talked about zodiac signs last night, and then talked about birthdays. Wen Yao's birthday was in two days.

Originally, he planned to let Yao Jingjing arrange a gift for Wen Yao, but now, Jiang Yue decided to arrange it himself.

On her birthday, he wanted to give her a "surprise". If she accepted this "surprise", then everything would be fine. If not... then everything would have to be carefully planned.

Yao Jingjing returned to her workstation, feeling as if she had just walked back from the brink of death, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

She nearly lost her job and kept it.

However, she betrayed Wen Yao.

what to do?

He had just been rescued by her and had clearly promised her, and the more they talked, the more they felt that they were compatible with each other.

Just for a job, continue to deceive her?

Yao Jingjing took out her cell phone and wanted to tell Wen Yao that Jiang Yue already knew about this.

Just as she was hesitating, the internal chat system on her computer started moving. She looked and saw that it was a message from the secretary team leader, her direct supervisor, so she quickly opened the message window.

"Jingjing, I'll give you a raise for the second half of the year. Your monthly salary will increase by 2,000 yuan. Starting next month, remember to check."

Yao Jingjing was stunned, and then she realized that she had been given a salary increase!

There are two performance appraisals every year, and salary increases will be given based on the performance appraisals.

There were two vacancies in their secretarial team, but there were more than a dozen people including the president's secretary and the administrative secretary. Her performance was average, and it usually took two or three years for her to get a turn. Unexpectedly, she got the position this time.

She quickly thanked the team leader and then got into a bigger conflict.

A glance at CEO Jiang's office made her realize why she had received the raise. But if she told Wen Yao what happened today, everything would be gone.

She comes from a poor family, has average education, and seems to have average personal abilities. Being able to join the Jiang family is already a blessing in her life. But now, is she going to give up all this?

It shouldn’t be a big deal if I don’t tell Wen Yao… This kind of thing doesn’t seem to be related to marriage or life and death, it seems to be just a trivial matter.

Yao Jingjing comforted herself in this way, and after hesitating, she silently put down the phone that she wanted to use to contact Wen Yao.

…

Wen Yao was racking her brains in the lounge, but couldn't figure out how Jiang Yue wanted to frame Jiang Lin.

She had already decided that once she had come up with this conspiracy, she would tell Jiang Lin that she was the one who sent him the anonymous text message, and tell Lu Wan that she had fallen out with Jiang Yue and that was why she came to her for help.

As for how she fell out with Jiang Yue and why she could only seek help from Lu Wan, she still needed to think about it carefully.

Ah, there are so many things to think about, my head hurts.

That night, she pretended not to know that Jiang Yue had met Lu Wan by chance on the plane, and asked Lu Wan if she had successfully celebrated her father's birthday.

Lu Wan replied to her without mentioning what happened with Jiang Yue on the plane.

Then Wen Yao intentionally brought Jiang Lin along and used other topics to indirectly inquire about Jiang Lin's current situation.

Lu Wan didn't think much of it and quickly told her that Jiang Lin was arranged by his family to work as the president of Huijin Asset and would be very busy.

Wen Yao chewed on this information for a long time. She remembered that this part was not in the original plot. What does Huijin Asset do? It seems a little familiar.

After saying goodbye to Lu Wan, she checked online and learned that Huijin Asset is a financial company under the Jiang family. Its main businesses are investment, lending, insurance, etc. It is not Jiang's flagship company, but it is also an important part of its future development.

After reading the information, she remembered that this company had appeared in a passage in the novel. It was probably about Jiang Lin and the CFO of Huijin Assets being old classmates and good friends. This friend was threatened by Jiang Yue because of his past experience of falsifying accounts, so he asked this friend to frame Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin was alert in time and helped his friend to deal with the matter, which enabled his friend to turn over a new leaf and finally defeat Jiang Yue.

In short, Jiang Yue kept doing such things that ended up costing him more than he gained, and Huijin Asset Management was involved in one of them.

Would Jiang Yue still use this matter to threaten the CFO?

Obviously not, but he certainly wouldn't let this information go.

But Wen Yao still needs more clues about what he should do specifically.

She decided to find an opportunity to go to Jiang Yue's office to check. Anyway, she and Jiang Yue were in a sweet relationship now, so it was not difficult to get into the office.

The next day, she prepared some pear and loquat soup according to a recipe in the kitchen, dressed up as a naive girl, and went to the Yueer Group building with a thermos box to deliver the lunch she made in her kitchen.

I looked at the schedule on Jiang Yue's desk yesterday. He had a meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. today, so Wen Yao went there at around 11 p.m.

She carried the thermal box and without saying a word, she asked someone to find the head of the secretarial team and asked him to help her open the door of the president's office.

She had been here several times, and it wasn't her first time entering the president's office. The secretary team leader hesitated a little, but still opened the door for her.

Wen Yao successfully entered Jiang Yue's office, put down the thermal box, and then went to check on the desk.

She had seen Jiang Yue investigate Jiang Lin's home and learned his techniques. She also acted as carefully and cautiously as he did, leaving no trace.

Later, relevant information was found in the drawer under the desk.

That was the evidence that the Fund Director of Huijin Asset's Finance Department was involved in financial fraud in another company two years ago. After reading the information, Wen Yao remembered that the man's name was Pei Juan.

It is now very certain that Jiang Yue still maintains his villain nature and is ready to use Pei Juan to deal with Jiang Lin.

Now is the time when Jiang Lin is about to take up the position of Huijin Assets. Jiang Yue will probably use this incident to interfere and stop it.

Wen Yao still doesn’t know what Jiang Yue is going to do specifically, but it doesn’t matter. She can tell Jiang Lin the news. He has the aura of the male protagonist and will definitely be able to make arrangements in advance to avoid Jiang Yue’s frame-up.

Wen Yao put everything back in place, sat on the sofa in the office, pretending to play with her phone, but actually sending a message to Jiang Lin using an anonymous text messaging app.

"Jiang Yue has evidence of Pei Juan's financial fraud from two years ago. He has recently been plotting against you. You'd better respond in advance."

Just after I finished sending it, there was a sound from the glass door. It turned out that Jiang Yue had returned early.

Wen Yao quickly put down her phone, stood up with a look of surprise and asked him, "Did you go to the meeting? Why are you so busy?"

Seeing her in his office, Jiang Yue didn't say anything, but just smiled tenderly: "Don't you know? I basically do nothing every day, just attend meetings."

After that, he walked up to her and asked softly, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Wen Yao smiled and pointed to the thermos box: "I'll bring you some food."

Jiang Yue opened the box and took a look, then asked, "Did you make this?"

Wen Yao was embarrassed: "Just...I made the soup to moisten your throat, and everything else was made by Uncle Zhang."

"But I will learn slowly, and then make it for you myself." She added quickly, as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy.

I thought this line was so embarrassing. If I hadn't read too many abusive novels about naive heroines and cold-blooded and overbearing CEOs in my early years, I really wouldn't have been able to say it.

Jiang Yue grabbed her hand and said, "Stop it. My wife's hands are not meant for cooking."

Wen Yao smiled shyly again and said coquettishly: "You eat first, I just want to cook for you."

The awkward moment was finally over, and Jiang Yue started to eat.

She saw him take a sip of soup, frown, then smile at her and say, "You make the best soup."

Wen Yao really laughed this time.

In fact, she tasted the soup and it tasted okay, not too bad.

After all, she made it according to the recipe, so she is not a clumsy cook.

But who was Jiang Yue? He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his family's chefs were all five-star hotel-level. With his golden tongue, of course he would look down on the taste of her soup.

But it doesn’t matter. He has to pretend that he likes it and finish the soup.

Jiang Yue actually finished the soup, although he frowned the whole time.

After dinner, he asked, "Tomorrow is your birthday, isn't it?"

Wen Yao remembered that she had mentioned this in the WeChat conversation with "JY" and nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Yue said, "I'm a little busy tomorrow, how about I spend the evening with you celebrating your birthday?"

Wen Yao smiled brightly: "Okay."

Wen Yao knew Jiang Yue's tricks very well.

The plot includes details about Jiang Yue celebrating Lu Wan's birthday. He asked his secretary to order a bouquet of flowers for Lu Wan, a high-end restaurant, and the most expensive necklace.

Everything was carefully selected by the secretary and was the best. He also dressed handsomely and formally, and set aside that time to have a meal with Lu Wan.

So when Lu Wan and Jiang Lin celebrated their first birthday, they were very moved.

Jiang Lin took her to a ginkgo grove in a village she'd always wanted to visit but had never been to before. It was the filming location for one of her favorite movies. They spent the day there, enjoying the local specialty steamed fish, and returned in a small fishing boat. It was a novel and leisurely afternoon, and it became her favorite.

In comparison, Jiang Yue appears more realistic, cold and ruthless.

But Wen Yao thought it didn't matter. The steamed fish was based on a specialty dish from her grandmother's family, and she was tired of it. A poor person like her really liked 99 roses, high-end restaurants and expensive necklaces. It was because she had never seen them before.

Please give her a set... So, she would stay with Jiang Yue for another day. After tomorrow, she would think of a reason to go to Lu Wan for help and leave Jiang Yue.

The next day, Wen Yao deliberately skipped lunch because she had to empty her stomach as she was going to a high-end restaurant in the evening.

So by four or five in the evening, she was starving, but she checked her phone again and again and still didn't see any message from Jiang Yue.

He won’t forget, right?

That's not right. This was all arranged by the secretary, and the secretary would definitely not forget it. Wen Yao calmed down and waited patiently.
