0014 Selfless Rescue
"I'm sorry, but I don't like men who smoke." Jiang Jifan kept his arms crossed, saying sorry but showing no remorse on his face.
She knew he smoked from the first time they met. As everyone knows, quitting smoking is as difficult for a long-term smoker as climbing Mount Everest.
Jiang Jifan did not deny that she was deliberately making things difficult for him, but she also genuinely did not like men who smoked.
She thought to herself, "This one thing should be enough to deter him."
"Okay." He replied without hesitation.
Jiang Jifan looked up in surprise, only to see him calmly and composedly say, "Please give me a month."
"A non-smoking man would get a perfect score in your heart, and I hope I can get that 100." His sincerity made him very convincing.
Jiang Jifan originally thought he would hesitate or back down, but to her surprise, he agreed in one go, which made her think more highly of him.
She raised an eyebrow and nodded, looking nonchalant, then shrugged and said, "Whatever."
Anyway, she had already made the unpleasant points clear beforehand. If he wanted to challenge her, she wouldn't stop him. In the end, she would decide the outcome.
Tantai Qing was not displeased by her casual attitude. He gently straightened the suit jacket that was about to fall off her shoulder and looked at her with a tender expression, saying, "Let me take you home."
Jiang Jifan did not refuse.
After all, who wouldn't like a free driver?
The next day, Jiang Jifan got up early and went with them to the factory to inspect the products.
Tantai Qing, who was a partner, was also present. However, since she had clearly told herself yesterday that she "didn't like mixing business and personal matters," she didn't make a point of striking up a conversation. After a brief greeting, they went their separate ways to work.
"Can I take a picture of this?" Jiang Jifan pointed to the newly assembled pink mini smart robot on the table and asked the factory manager.
Only after he said it was okay did she take out her phone and take a picture.
After taking the picture, she poked the robot's head with her finger, and immediately heard it cry out in pain.
Tantai Qing turned around upon hearing the sound and saw her talking to the factory manager while occasionally playing with the little robot beside her.
Then, when the factory manager wasn't looking, she flicked the little robot's face lightly with her finger, like a mischievous child secretly playing with a toy behind their parents' backs, a look of smug delight on her face.
"Can I buy this?" Tantai Qing heard her ask.
The factory manager smiled and said, "This product isn't on the market yet, but if Ms. Jiang is interested, we can give you a few before you leave..."
"Oh? I'm so sorry, these must be very expensive, right?" Jiang Jifan looked surprised, glancing down at the pile of mini robots that had just been assembled on the table. He was already overjoyed, but he pretended to decline.
Tantai Qing watched her slightly exaggerated acting quietly from the other end, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up.
The other party was very enthusiastic, saying that they had come a long way and had worked hard. Then they instructed the workers to pack up the mini robots she had her eye on and told her to come and pick them up before she left.
Jiang Jifan could not hide his joy. His eyebrows curved slightly, and he smiled, revealing eight teeth. He thanked them softly.
The factory manager went to answer a phone call and told her to wait here.
Jiang Jifan, who had gotten the benefit, nodded in agreement and told him to go ahead and get busy. He then looked down and sent the photo he had just taken to Xing Yeye, asking her if she liked it.
Just as she sent the message, she suddenly heard a loud shout from beside her.
"careful!"
Immediately, a figure rushed over and pulled her into his arms.
Before Jiang Jifan could react, he could clearly hear the loud thud of a heavy object hitting the man's head.
The loud "bang!" startled her so much that she trembled all over.
"President Dan!!"
Standing in front of her, Tantai Qing suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand up straight for a moment.
The crowd panicked and rushed over.
Jiang Jifan, who was being held protectively in his arms, turned pale with fright. She quickly reached out to support him and asked in a loud voice, "Are you alright?!"
He managed to stand up straight, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy..."
Hearing the commotion, the factory manager immediately hung up the phone and rushed over, saying, "Let's go to the hospital to see Mr. Dan!"
Tantai Qing's refusal was useless, and in the end, she was persuaded by everyone to go to the hospital.
As Li Yan helped him into the back seat, he was still concerned about her, who was standing outside the crowd, and frequently looked up in her direction.
She must have been worried about herself too, for her usually composed face now showed a look of concern and anxiety.
