Is this statement mocking Yan Zhi for being old? Or is it mocking her for not having a boyfriend? Or is it mocking both her age and lack of a boyfriend?
Yan Zhi didn't know.
Perhaps, both are true.
Yan Zhi smiled slightly, her eyes gentle: "Um... I don't have a boyfriend."
But she has a husband.
Haha, sometimes when I think about it, it's really ironic...
Yan Zhi herself couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
As soon as Yan Zhi finished speaking, Sang Lishu's expression became quite interesting. Sang Lishu became even more smug, wishing the whole world could hear: "Oh dear, Secretary Yan is so old, and she's never even been in a relationship!"
Bai Lian's expression remained calm, as if she had anticipated Sang Li Shu's response.
Sang Lishu smiled arrogantly, with a hint of condescension in her smile: "Then how about I introduce Secretary Yan to someone? I have a friend named Leng Chengyu."
Sang Lishu's sarcasm was genuine, and her offer to introduce Yan Zhi to a potential partner was also true. Leng Chengyu was Sang Lishu's elementary school classmate; he was ugly and a womanizer. After all these years, who knows what kind of hidden illness he might have? What if he were to infect Yan Zhi with one... hehe...
Anyway, it would be best to ruin Yan Zhi. Then let's see what Yan Zhi has left to be so high and mighty about! Humph!
Seeing Sang Lishu's increasingly smug expression, Yan Zhi knew that Sang Lishu must have imagined a lot of things.
Yan Zhi smiled faintly, shattering Sang Lishu's fantasies: "Hmm... thank you, Secretary Sang, but I don't like people with the surname Leng. Your intentions were good, but you're not allowed to set off again next time."
"What's wrong with the guy surnamed Leng? Did he offend you or something?"
A cold male voice suddenly broke through from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Leng Linli standing behind them. They didn't know when he had started listening, but his face was gloomy and cold, and his eyes looked like they could kill someone at any moment.
Leng Linli's gaze swept over Yan Zhi, his eyes icy and his tone chilling: "Secretary Yan, tell me, what did that guy surnamed Leng do to you that you could condemn everyone with the surname Leng by sweeping generalizations?"
Yan Zhi couldn't possibly say: "Because your surname is Leng, that's why I dislike all people with the surname Leng."
Yan Zhi smiled lightly, her voice calm: "The person surnamed Leng did not offend me, but the fortune teller said that I am incompatible with the surname Leng. If I marry someone with the surname Leng, my life will be full of twists and turns, and my marriage will be unhappy. I am a devout Buddhist, and I must listen to what the Buddha says."
Yan Zhi wasn't exactly lying; this was simply her current marital status.
"Hmph!" Leng Linli snorted coldly.
Yan Zhi's high-sounding excuse sounded cold and infuriating. Couldn't he understand the implication behind her words?
Leng Linli's aura was very low, and even his profile exuded a chilling aura.
Was she really that resistant to him?
Yan Zhi, you really know how to annoy me!
"Everyone's out chatting in the break room during work hours. Is it because the CEO has too little work to do, or is it that easy to earn a salary at Leng Corporation? People don't have to be smart, but don't be stupid. Everyone here will have two thousand yuan deducted from their salary today!" Leng Linli roared angrily.
Everyone immediately fell silent, except for Yan Zhi, who remained calm and composed, completely unconcerned about Ling Wei's cold and stern demeanor.
Leng Linli glared at Yan Zhi, who then looked back at him openly.
Leng Linli was so angry that his heart ached, but he couldn't do anything to Yan Zhi. He could deduct her salary, but she didn't care!
He could only turn around and leave the tea room, seething with anger.
After Leng Linli left, Sang Lishu and Bai Lian also left the tea room. Before leaving, Sang Lishu unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a deep red hickey on the back of Yan Zhi's neck!
Yan Zhi dared to lie to her and say she didn't have a boyfriend. Humph, how despicable!
Even though President Leng had already left, the atmosphere in the break room was still a bit tense. Su Rao whispered to Yan Zhi, "The president is angry."
Yan Zhi nodded gently and said with a faint smile, "Really? I'm a little colorblind. From then on, I started to have very low emotional intelligence and couldn't read other people's expressions."
Su Rao was almost speechless at Yan Zhi's words. She mechanically opened her left palm and knelt down with her right index and middle fingers: "...Hehe, I'm offering my knees!"
After her period ended, Yan Zhi repeatedly discussed it with her grandmother, who finally agreed to let Leng Linli and her move back to Moon Bay.
Because of the incident in the break room that day where someone said they "didn't like people with the surname Leng," Leng Linli must have been genuinely angry.
For several days in a row, they left early and returned late. Even though they lived under the same roof and in the same CEO's office, Yan Zhi and Leng Linli rarely saw each other.
"Secretary Yan, come out with me tonight." Leng Linli said, then turned and left, not even sparing Yan Zhi a glance.
Watching President Leng leave, Tang Xiaoxiao, holding the documents, reminded Yan Zhi: "Be careful tonight. Tonight, President Leng is meeting with Stephen from Zhuo Hong Asia Pacific. Rumor has it that he is a womanizer and has an unclean private life. Many female salespeople have suffered at his hands. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of."
Given this, Yan Zhi could guess the reason why Leng Linli took Yan Zhi out alone that night; such prostitution was not uncommon in the industry.
Is Leng Linli planning to abandon her, and before doing her a favor, give her to Stephen to maximize her usefulness?
Yan Zhi already knew the final outcome for her and Leng Linli, but this result still made her feel a little bitter. Soon, the bitterness in her chest spread from a little bit to a lot.
"I understand, thank you, Sister Tang." Yan Zhi nodded slightly and forced a smile.
Yan Zhi sat back down at her workstation, calmed herself down, and started planning what to do next.
Yan Zhi sat in a private room at the Royal Court Hotel, having already prepared herself mentally.
Before Stephen arrived, Yan Zhi seized the opportunity to advocate for herself: "President Leng, if I sign this deal, I hope you can approve my resignation letter in advance, and also, divorce me."
Leng Linli, who had been looking at documents all day and already had a headache, was resting with his eyes closed when he heard Yan Zhi's words. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Only ten days left, and you can't even take it anymore? Or has Secretary Yan already found another job?"
Leng Linli was already planning to give her away, so why keep her around? Didn't he find her disgusting?
Yan Zhi suppressed her breathing and said in a calm tone, "If I said yes, would President Leng let me go so readily?"
You're so eager to leave?
Leave the Leng family, leave him!
Leng Linli stared at Yan Zhi for a long while, then sneered and condescended to say, "Then we'll have to see what Secretary Yan can do tonight!"
After speaking, Leng Linli closed his eyes again.
means......
What's the quickest way for a woman to win over a man?
Yan Zhi knew perfectly well what was going on, and gave a bitter laugh.
At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a blond, blue-eyed white man in his forties walked in. His shirt was undone to his chest, revealing glimpses of his thick chest hair. He wore a wicked yet sexy smile: "Hello, Mr. Leng, long time no see!"
