This is Tianwei's lobby, and colleagues from Tianwei Group are coming and going around it.
When Xu Wan was in school, she was also pursued by popular male classmates. Even if she didn't agree, she would be ostracized by female classmates.
The man's actions triggered a stress response in her, and she quickly replied, "I'm busy, I'm married, and I have to go home tonight."
As we were talking, we arrived at the elevator door, which was located on the first floor.
Xu Wan quickly went up to her.
Jiang Tingzhou didn't follow. Xu Wan huddled in the corner. Even though she could see the man, she still took out her phone and started composing a WeChat message for him.
Xu Wan: [I'm sorry, but after Dong Yuanyuan's case is over, I won't come to Tianwei anymore, okay? We can talk then, alright? I don't want my colleagues to know about my relationship with you; it would affect my work.]
When she finished sending the message, the elevator had already gone up to the 7th floor, the legal department.
Xu Wan took the things and went into Gao Han's office.
Because of the alleged instigation in Dong Yuanyuan's case, the trial will take longer.
Recently, Xu Wan has been working at Tianwei most of the time.
The first thing she did after leaving Gao Han's office was to check her phone.
Jiang Tingzhou did not reply to any messages.
Xu Wan believed that Jiang Tingzhou was probably angry.
She edited another message: 【I'm sorry.】
The man didn't reply to her until lunchtime.
Xu Wan had planned to go out and discuss work with Ding Xinyu today, and hadn't brought any lunch.
At lunchtime, Ji Tong came to call her to have lunch in the cafeteria together, just like usual.
Before going to the cafeteria, Xu Wan wondered if she would run into Jiang Tingzhou today, but the man didn't show up at the cafeteria at all during the entire lunch.
After lunch, the two prepared to buy milk tea to go home. Ji Tong linked arms with Xu Wan and said, "Wanwan, it's my birthday at the end of the month, which is next Tuesday. Are you free to come over?"
"Me? Of course I can."
Xu Wan immediately agreed.
She had very few friends growing up. After her family's tragedy, her classmates all thought she was bad luck and wouldn't invite her to anyone's birthday party.
After graduating from university, I was busy working and had even less opportunity to interact with my classmates.
“That’s great.” Ji Tong took her arm and said, “I’ll send you the restaurant address. I’ll take half a day off that day to go home and get ready. But I’ve booked a late time, so you can go home and get ready before you go. It’s okay if you arrive a little late.”
Xu Wan tucked her hair behind her ear and refused, "You're the main character, I don't need to dress up."
"It's fine with me. I was just worried you might feel self-conscious about dressing up, so I said that. It's up to you whether you dress up or not, I don't mind." Ji Tong said in a light tone.
"Um..." Xu Wan hesitated for a moment before asking, "I don't know any of the friends you invited, is that okay?"
"It's alright, it's alright, we'll get to know each other after meeting once." Ji Tong looked at Xu Wan. "Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you can leave early, just let me know."
Xu Wan certainly couldn't leave early.
Having agreed to go to Ji Tong's birthday party, Xu Wan now had a new worry: what to give him as a birthday present.
Fortunately, my birthday is next week, so there's still time.
Xu Wan sat in her office and worked for another three hours.
Jiang Tingzhou hadn't replied by 4 p.m., so Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer to Ji Tong and asked, "Can I go to the CEO's office on the top floor by myself?"
“Sure, our regular elevators have a card reader. Some higher-floor cards can be swiped to press the top-floor button,” Ji Tong said in a low voice. “You’re the president’s wife, you should have that authority, right?”
Xu Wan took out her card, hesitated for a moment, and then got up and walked towards the elevator.
At that time, no one was using the elevator, so she tried swiping her card.
Then I pressed the button on the top floor.
Sure enough, the numbers on the button lit up.
As the elevator slowly ascended, Xu Wan felt a little nervous throughout the process, fearing that someone might get on the elevator and see her going to the top floor, which would surely lead to gossip behind her back.
As the numbers on the elevator's LCD screen changed one by one, we finally reached the top floor.
A secretary was sitting at the counter facing the elevator. When she saw Xu Wan getting off the elevator, she stood up and said politely, "Madam, Mr. Jiang is waiting for you in his office. You may come in at any time."
Xu Wan was somewhat surprised, "He was waiting for me?"
The secretary smiled and said, "Yes, President Jiang said this morning that you would be coming."
Xu Wan then realized that the man was deliberately ignoring her messages and waiting for her to go upstairs!
