Before she could say anything, that scumbag had already hung up the phone.
Damn it, it's already 7 PM! Is the company on fire?!
Lin Qingtong took a deep breath and started putting on makeup and changing clothes while cursing.
She rushed to the company and went straight to the top floor, where she learned from her assistant that Jiang Hao was in his office.
Lin Qingtong strode forward and pushed open the door, but did not see Jiang Hao. Instead, she saw a man in a black suit sitting on the sofa.
Upon seeing the person's appearance, her expression suddenly froze.
Shen Tinghe...
Didn't she already have HR process his resignation? Why is he here?!
Recalling Jiang Hao's tone just now, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
Was she unwilling to accept the breakup, so she went to Jiang Hao's house to confront him?
Lin Qingtong was still in shock and doubt when Shen Tinghe raised his head and looked at her with a half-smile.
Lin Qingtong became even more certain of her guess. Seeing that Jiang Hao was not there, she strode forward, grabbed his tie, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to him?"
Shen Tinghe smirked, then suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms: "Are you so afraid of him finding out?"
A firm, solid sensation came from my buttocks.
Lin Qingtong's pupils shrank: "Are you crazy?!"
She tried to push him away, her voice cold and sharp, yet trembling with nervousness: "Let go of me and get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
A mocking look, unlike anything she had ever seen before, appeared in Shen Tinghe's eyes.
His large hand casually hooked around her waist, then tightened sharply: "Oh? That's impressive? I'm quite curious, how can you not let me go?"
Outside, the footsteps of employees still working overtime could be heard from time to time, and Jiang Hao had no idea when he would return.
In fact, they had done many intimate things here, even on this sofa beneath them many times.
She used to find it exciting, but now it's not just exciting, it's that one wrong move could lead to her utter ruin!
"Stop messing around, let me go!"
Lin Qingtong tried her best to remain calm, but her face was completely bloodless: "Tell me what other conditions you have, and I will try my best to meet them! But continuing to make trouble will not do you any good!"
"Jiang Hao's uncle is the head of the Shen family! If our affair is exposed, Jiang Hao won't let me off the hook, nor will he forgive you! The consequences of offending that person are something neither of us can afford!"
She thought that saying this would make Shen Tinghe understand, but she didn't expect his smile to deepen.
"Oh? You're that afraid of his uncle?"
The man leaned in and bit her earlobe, his voice mocking, "I thought you... didn't care about anyone."
A tingling pain shot through her earlobe, and Lin Qingtong's breathing became rapid.
That bastard is insane!
She was about to speak through gritted teeth when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the office.
Lin Qingtong's eyes narrowed, and she no longer cared about anything else, stomping her high heels hard on Shen Tinghe's foot.
The man groaned and released his grip in pain.
"I'm warning you, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll drag you down with me! Neither of us will get away with this!"
She pushed him away, staggered to her feet, and said with a cold, sharp look in her eyes, "I mean what I say! You're welcome to try!"
Just then, the door opened.
Jiang Hao walked in with a cup of coffee and some documents, a smile on his face, but he didn't seem like someone who knew she was also cheating.
Seeing him walk straight towards Shen Tinghe, she composed herself, intending to explain, "Jiang Hao, he is..."
She had already thought of her explanation: she would say that Shen Tinghe was her former assistant who was unhappy with the job transfer and had come back to the company to find her.
If Shen Tinghe turns around and bites back, she can simply say that he framed her.
Anyway, he was the one who acted unfairly first!
But to her surprise, Jiang Hao first gave Shen Tinghe a fawning look, then respectfully presented him with coffee and documents before speaking to her: "This is your uncle, quickly greet him."
"My uncle happened to be passing by today and came to ask about the company's operations. He said he had previously conducted undercover investigations at our company."
He didn't notice Lin Qingtong's face stiffen instantly, and then said to Shen Tinghe, "Uncle, this is my wife, Lin Qingtong. She's been managing the company while I've been expanding my business these past few years, so I asked her to introduce you."
Lin Qingtong's fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly, and her mind went completely blank.
Shen Tinghe... is Jiang Hao's maternal uncle?!
The gigolo she had been keeping for three years, her devoted and obedient lover and assistant, was actually the legendary, pampered young master of the Shen family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth!
This is insane! Is God playing a cruel joke on her?!
She clenched her fists tightly, not daring to meet Shen Tinghe's gaze. Shen Tinghe smiled meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect my niece-in-law to be so capable. You are very lucky."
He crossed his legs, looked at Lin Qingtong indifferently, and his whole demeanor seemed to become aloof and noble in an instant: "Then let my nephew's wife introduce me."
Lin Qingtong froze on the spot, sensing the barely perceptible mockery in his tone.
what to do?
Given what she has done, Shen Tinghe will not let her go.
Seeing that she didn't move, Jiang Hao couldn't help but frown and push her, saying in a low voice, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and introduce her to your uncle!"
Looking at Shen Tinghe's ambiguous smile, she knew that if she dragged it out any longer, even if Shen Tinghe didn't say anything, Jiang Hao would know there was a problem.
She picked up the documents, trying to appear nonchalant, and began to introduce the company's preliminary situation and quarterly financial report to Shen Tinghe.
By the end, her back was soaked with cold sweat.
Shen Tinghe looked at her, his eyes holding an inscrutable expression.
After a long pause, he spoke casually, "It's not bad, but there's still room for improvement."
"Since you are managing the company, you will work as my assistant and learn from me for the next period of time. We will consider investing when I think you are qualified."
Lin Qingtong moved her lips, but before she could say anything, Jiang Hao took the initiative to put his arm around her shoulder and push her forward, his smile ingratiating.
"Your uncle trusts you; that's an honor for you."
He squeezed the hand on his shoulder harder, gritting his teeth and threatening in a low voice.
"If I don't get the investment, you can forget about getting a divorce."
Lin Qingtong suddenly looked up and was caught off guard by Shen Tinghe's deep, unfathomable eyes.
It has a faint, dim light.
"What, is your nephew's wife unwilling?" Shen Tinghe raised an eyebrow and asked.
Jiang Hao panicked and pushed Lin Qingtong hard, accidentally sending her flying right in front of Shen Tinghe.
Shen Tinghe raised his hand to catch it, his warm palm firmly holding Lin Qingtong's arm, the place he touched feeling as if it had been burned by fire.
"Nephew's wife, be careful."
His deep, magnetic voice rang in Lin Qingtong's ears, like feathers constantly teasing her earlobe, making her heart itch.
