Xu Wan then realized that the man had already figured out her little thoughts and had a firm grip on them!
Without thinking, she turned around and pressed the elevator button again.
While waiting for the elevator, she turned to her secretary and said, "Don't tell President Jiang that I've been here."
The elevator reached the top floor, and Xu Wan stepped inside.
Just before leaving get off work, Xu Wan finally received a message from Jiang Tingzhou. The man reported that he had a social engagement that evening and would be home a little late.
Xu Wan replied simply: 【Understood.】
The two seemed to be secretly competing with each other.
After dinner, Xu Pingrong has already integrated into the local life, and in the evening he goes downstairs to dance square dance with a group of elderly ladies.
I didn't go home to sleep until after nine o'clock.
Xu Wan then browsed case studies on her computer alone in the study.
Cheng Xue's case made her realize that after working as a marriage lawyer for so long, her thinking had become somewhat rigid. She hadn't even thought of such an obvious crime as extortion, and she felt a sense of guilt for letting her teacher down.
I don't know how much time passed, but my phone rang a few times.
Xu Wan glanced at it; it was a message from Ji Tong, consisting of several screenshots of WeChat group chats.
The group name is 【TW Gossip Squad】.
Xu Wan glanced at the message casually.
[This woman is something else; she actually dared to reject our CEO, Mr. Jiang.]
Will President Jiang, like in the novels, be drawn to this damned woman?
[Hahaha, although at the time I firmly believed that President Jiang would never say such a thing, the person next to him must have misheard.]
I agree. He's married now, and I firmly believe he's the best man in Tianwei.
Xu Wan felt a little relieved after seeing the chat history.
She used to hear people talking about her, and there were hardly any good words. They were all things like "feigning helplessness to gain sympathy" or "what is this jinx she's so arrogant about?"
Ji Tong sent me a voice call invitation.
As soon as the call connected, Ji Tong's mocking voice came through: "Hahaha, what are you two doing? How could something so embarrassing happen at the company?"
To make things easier, Xu Wan put her phone on speakerphone and replied while browsing the web, "I'm afraid that if others find out, it will affect my work."
"You told me you understood," Ji Tong said, still unable to suppress a laugh. "But why did you two do this? Why didn't you acknowledge him? Wouldn't it have been better to just say hello politely?"
"...My identity clashes with his, and if we were to greet each other and get to know each other, everyone would know he's married. I don't want to become the subject of gossip behind my back, so avoiding suspicion is the best course of action. Once this case is closed, I don't need to come to Tianwei's office, and I can reveal my identity publicly without any problem, but not now."
While Xu Wan was speaking, she was still distracted by the words on the screen.
After a brief silence on the phone, Ji Tong said, "I feel like there's something strange about your relationship with President Jiang. It's not like that of a young couple, nor like that of a newlywed couple. It's more like a harmonious and respectful relationship."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan paused while browsing the web, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "I guess subconsciously I feel that the gap between him and me is too big. If we remove the status of heir, he was already quite well-known in the Beicheng legal circle when he was my age, while I am still far behind."
"What? Your bachelor's degree is enough to get you accepted by Tianyuan Law Firm? You're setting your standards too high."
Just as Ji Tong's clamor subsided and Xu Wan hadn't even responded, another male voice came from the direction of the door, "What's your name? Which department are you from?"
Xu Wan turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound. The man who the two had just been talking about had returned at some point and was now standing next to the desk.
She asked in surprise, "When did you get back? How come you didn't make a sound?"
Ji Tong on the other end of the phone was also stunned. "President Jiang, I swear to God, I didn't say anything bad about you, nor did I try to sow discord between you and Xu Wan."
Xu Wan stood up from her chair to speak up for Ji Tong, "Yes, yes, we were just chatting casually. I ignored you at the company this morning, it has nothing to do with her."
Jiang Tingzhou reached out and put his hand around the woman's waist, closing the distance between them. "Who said I should blame her? If I hadn't overheard your conversation, I wouldn't have known you thought that way."
He leaned down and kissed the woman's forehead. "I'm sorry, I didn't think that much during the day. It's my fault."
