Zhu Jue stumbled out of Nan Xun's office, his arrogant demeanor from a few days ago completely gone.
Seeing Zhu Jue's distraught look, Lin Qiao wanted to know what Nan Xun had said to her. It was unbelievable that he could control this woman so well.
"Assistant Lin..." Zhu Jue saw that Lin Qiao no longer had the arrogance he had a few days ago, and tears in his eyes said, "Please help me explain to my brother-in-law. I really didn't mean it. I... I know I was wrong. Please tell him not to ignore me..."
Lin Qiao knew that Nanxun still had some use for Zhu Jue, so he could only say a few perfunctory words.
"Ms. Zhu, Young Master Nan has been quite troubled lately. You know, Young Master Nan just got married and it's impossible for him to divorce his wife. The old guys in the company won't let Young Master Nan do anything that would be detrimental to the company's image. But look at what you've done...it's no wonder Young Master Nan is angry."
"I know I was wrong," Zhu Jue said. "I really do. I will be careful and cautious in the future and never cause any trouble for my brother-in-law."
"You know what to do."
Zhu Jue immediately issued a statement after returning home, saying that she had only thanked fans for their concern and that the relationship between her and Nan Xun was not what everyone imagined. She also only met Nan Xun when Zhu Jue got married, not as rumored.
The article was also deleted because of Zhu Jue’s statement.
…
In the next few days, Zhu Jue secretly brought food to Nan Xun every day after the employees got off work.
Although Nanxun didn't meet her, he let Lin Qiao accept all the things.
Because he couldn't see Nanxun, Zhu Jue got smarter and flattered Lin Qiao every day, hoping that through Lin Qiao, Nanxun would change his mind.
Unexpectedly, this trick actually worked, and Nan Xun finally softened his stance. When leaving the company, he agreed to go downstairs in the same elevator with Zhu Jue. Of course, Lin Qiao had to accompany them.
This situation gave Zhu Jue another illusion. She felt that Nan Xun still had her in his heart. She was noticeably more relaxed when she came to Nan Yu. If Nan Xun was too busy to see her, she would pester Lin Qiao to inquire about Nan Xun indirectly.
"Assistant Lin, what has my brother-in-law been busy with lately? Why is he always working overtime?"
Lin Qiao was getting a headache from Zhu Jue's pestering, but he had no choice but to deal with her, so he said, "Young Master Nan has been busy shopping for Pacific islands lately."
When Zhu Jue heard the words "Pacific island", his eyes lit up. Isn't this what An Jinli wanted to know?
"I heard that the island has never been developed and it's very beautiful."
Lin Qiao was busy with his work and said perfunctorily, "Yes, it is very beautiful."
"Such a beautiful island, and its owner is willing to sell it." Zhu Jue pretended to be casual. "I wonder what kind of person the owner of the island is."
Lin Qiao was always on high alert. Hearing Zhu Jue's interest in the island's affairs, he had a bad feeling.
This island boasts a prime location and beautiful scenery, and has enormous potential if developed. Many wealthy businessmen and politicians, both domestically and internationally, are interested in purchasing it. Unfortunately, the island's owner remains a mystery, and Nan Xun only contacted him a few months ago. How could Lin Qiao possibly share such a business secret with Zhu Jue?
"I don't know about that either." Lin Qiao said, "Young Master Nan has always been in charge of the purchases. I'm just helping with some small matters."
"Assistant Lin, you're too modest." Zhu Jue smiled charmingly, "Everyone knows that you're my brother-in-law's confidant. He always leaves important matters to you. Tell me about it. I promise not to tell anyone else."
Lin Qiao felt a chill in his heart. Zhu Jue's coquettish look really made his hair stand on end.
"I really don't know! Miss Zhu, please don't embarrass me."
