Chapter 21 Is Miss Jane free tomorrow?

After Secretary Wang finished speaking, she walked towards the door in her high heels.

"Secretary Wang, are you sure you have the authority to handle this matter?"

Lu Chengze sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed, looking at Secretary Wang with a hint of barely perceptible contempt.

Secretary Wang paused, turned to look at Lu Chengze sitting on the sofa, and narrowed his eyeliner slightly, "What do you mean, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Chengze picked up the water cup and poured himself a glass of water, then took a sip. "The Li family and the Jian family have a close relationship, and I am Jian Yao's fiancé."

He raised his eyes and looked at Secretary Wang, "Does Mr. Li know that you are going to have trouble with the Lu family?"

Secretary Wang looked at the mysteriously confident Lu Chengze and found it a little funny, yet a little bit sorry for Jian Yao.

It turns out that he himself knew that the cooperation between Lu and Li was facilitated by Jian Yao alone?

Has he ever thought that any kindness will run out one day?

Jian Yao vouched for him in front of Mr. Li, but he couldn't even manage his subordinates and allowed them to tamper with the goods.

He let his secretary's brother climb up the ladder by relying on Jian Yao's resources, and when something went wrong he would drag Jian Yao into the limelight.

If Mr. Li had a narrow mind, not only would the cooperation with the Lu family be affected, but even the relationship between the Jian family and the Li family would be affected.

He enjoyed the benefits brought to him by Jian Yao, but acted superior and refused to lower his noble head.

Apart from his good looks, she really couldn't figure out what Jian Yao saw in him?

Secretary Wang recalled the invitation he saw in General Manager Li’s office two days ago, as well as General Manager Li’s phone call at noon, and his smile deepened.

"Whether I can make the decision is my business. Don't bother Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu should think more about how to raise funds instead of wasting time on this."

After she finished speaking, she grasped the door handle with her slender fingers, opened the door of the president's office and went out.

Behind him, the moment the office door closed, Lu Chengze finally couldn't bear it anymore and knocked all the cups in front of him to the ground with a wave of his hand.

Next to the President's Office is the Secretary's Office.

Through the glass door, one can clearly see several young assistants inside busily counting documents.

The spot where Secretary Liu's work badge was placed was empty.

You can hear the complaints coming from inside through the crack in the door.

"Why should we clean up the mess Liu Yaozong caused? Isn't Liu Yiyi his sister? Why don't we let her sort out the statistics?"

There are several years of data in the warehouse, and it would take all night to sort it out.

"Keep your voice down. If Special Assistant Lin and President Lu hear you, you'll be in trouble! Didn't you hear that President Lu didn't even attend the engagement party with Director Jian because of Liu Yiyi?"

"Ah? Really? Director Jian is so pitiful..."

"That's right. The daughter of the Jian family is being suppressed by a prostitute from the country..."

Secretary Wang listened to their discussion, raised his eyebrows, glanced at them playfully, and without stopping, he got on the elevator with the documents in his hand.

Just now, Lu Chengze claimed to be Miss Jian's fiancé, and the assistants in the CEO's office were so late in getting the news.

Really interesting.

In such a big Lu family, no one knew that Miss Jian was already engaged to the prince of the Gu family?

Secretary Wang looked at her pretty face reflected in the shiny elevator door, and in a good mood she took out a lipstick from her bag to touch up her makeup.

Things are getting interesting!

On the other side, Gu Zhiyan helped Jian Yao get into the car.

When the barrier rose and there were only two people left in the space, Gu Zhiyan raised his hand and tugged at his tie, then turned to look at her and said, "You got up very early today, didn't you? If you're tired, you can take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."

Jian Yao rubbed his sore ankle and nodded honestly, "I'm not tired, but my feet are a little sore. I'll go back and soak my feet to relieve the pain."

In order to look more beautiful, she wore eight-centimeter high heels all day today. After a few hours, her legs almost didn't belong to her own.

Gu Zhiyan looked down at her slender white ankles and saw that her ankles were slightly swollen.

Her complexion was cold and pale, and her skin was tender. It wasn't serious, but it looked a little shocking.

Gu Zhiyan's face darkened slightly, and he leaned over to hold her wrist. His hands were big and his fingers were long, so even though Jian Yao's feet were swollen, he could easily hold them with one hand.

The warm touch made Jian Yao's heart tremble. She called out softly, "Gu Zhiyan."

Gu Zhiyan untied the laces of her high heels with his fingers and pressed the acupuncture points on her ankles accurately. With a "hmm" sound, he gently soothed her, "Don't be afraid, I'll give you a massage, it won't hurt."

Jian Yao gritted her teeth.

It's not a matter of whether it hurts or not.

She was the one who felt embarrassed.

Besides, how could he massage her legs?

He is Gu Zhiyan!

That handsome and beautiful man, the one who has received all the love and favor, is Gu Zhiyan.

His movements were not heavy and it didn't hurt, just itchy and numb.

Jian Yao lowered her eyes and saw Gu Zhiyan bending his fingers and gently wrapping them around her wrist. The winding blue veins on the back of his hand were full of power, forming a strong contrast with her ankle.

The atmosphere in the carriage became subtle, as if the air was gradually becoming thinner.

She resisted the urge to pull her legs back and tried to find a topic to divert her attention.

"Thank you for what you did today. When do you plan to get the marriage certificate?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Jian Yao wanted to slap herself in the face, and hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, what I mean is... you have done what you promised me, and now it's time for me to fulfill my promise..."

Gu Zhiyan kept moving his hands, a hint of smile appeared in his eyes, and his tone was nonchalant, "I know Miss Jian is a person who keeps her promises. There is no misunderstanding."

He raised his eyes and looked at Jian Yao with an ambiguous look, "Ms. Jian, why are you so panicked?"

Jian Yao was originally quite frank, but after being glanced at by Gu Zhiyan, she actually felt a little guilty.

But she didn't lose face, she stiffened her neck, took the opportunity to withdraw her feet, raised her chin with a righteous look, "I'm not panicking. If I was panicking, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for the certificate."

"Really?" His hands felt empty and he retracted the wrist he had been holding. Gu Zhiyan instinctively clenched his hand, stroking the remaining warmth on his fingertips.

"I originally thought that since we have only known each other for a few days, I was afraid that Miss Jian would not be able to adapt."

Gu Zhiyan withdrew his gaze from Jian Yao, sat up straight and acted businesslike, "I underestimated Miss Jian's ability to adapt. It's my fault."

He glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost four o'clock. "It's too late today. Is Miss Jian free tomorrow?"

Jian Yao: ??? !!!

Jian Yao wanted to say, there is no need to be so anxious.

But thinking that I was the one who brought up the topic, I could only swallow my anger.

She bit her teeth and nodded, almost squeezing out a few words from between her teeth, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be free."

In order to prepare for the engagement party, she took half a month's leave and still had three days left.

Gu Zhiyan said "Oh", "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
