Chapter 57 Pretend
"Wanwan, long time no see."
Zhou Zechuan smiled, his face gentle, his eyes looking at her affectionately.
"Long time no see Zechuan, you've lost weight."
Ji Wan made a distressed expression, but did not move towards Zhou Zechuan. He still sat steadily opposite him.
Zhou Zechuan observed Ji Wan's movements. In the past, Ji Wan would rush over and hug him.
Why is he so distant now? Zhou Zechuan suppressed his dissatisfaction.
"You are also Wanwan. Are you used to living outside? If not, come back, or I will let Aunt Wu take care of you."
"No need, Zechuan. I'm not a child and can take care of myself. But how's the project going? Is it almost finished?"
This was one of the few times he discussed business with Ji Wan, and Zhou Zechuan suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Fortunately, everything went well. Don't worry about me. I know my limits."
Ji Wan sneered in his heart, yes, he was the most sensible one, and he calculated everything clearly.
"Well, you look so thin, so you should eat more later. After eating, go back and rest early."
Zhou Zechuan's face froze, but he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Wanwan still feels sorry for me. Don't talk about me. How are you doing? I see that the company has received several large orders."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's all thanks to everyone's hard work. I'm just responsible for sitting there."
"Really? But a tall tree attracts the wind. Wanwan, sometimes you should keep a low profile, especially in the company. People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows if someone will stab you in the back next second."
"Zechuan is right. I'll think about it."
Zhou Zechuan's face darkened subconsciously. Consider? What was there to consider? In the past, Ji Wan always did whatever he said.
There was never any consideration.
At this time, the ordered meal arrived, and Ji Wan served Zhou Zechuan tea and water, and picked up a few dishes with chopsticks.
This action attracted a lot of attention. Some people looked at it with envy, but most people looked at it with contempt.
"Okay, okay Wanwan, you should sit down and eat too. You don't have to take care of me like this."
"I just feel sorry for you, Zechuan. Look how much thinner you've become."
Ji Wan covered his chest in pain. Zhou Zechuan felt inexplicably embarrassed, and even felt that Ji Wan had taken the wrong medicine.
"By the way, Zechuan, do you have enough money? Did you spend the 100,000 yuan I transferred to you last time? Can I transfer some more to you?"
Ji Wan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear.
At this time, there were more strange looks.
I didn't expect that this man in a suit and tie was actually a gigolo.
"Ji Wan!"
The veins on Zhou Zechuan's forehead were throbbing, and he wondered how a person could be so stupid.
"Yes, I'm sorry Zechuan, I just care about you too much."
Ji Wan's eyes were red and she was about to cry, but Zhou Zechuan looked distressed and sighed.
"Wanwan, I don't mean to be mean to you. I just think it's cliché to keep mentioning money in this kind of situation, and it will lead to misunderstandings."
"sorry."
"I don't mean to blame you. I've missed you so much during this period, but the project is very tight and busy, and I'm worried about you being in the company."
Zhou Zechuan paused and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.
"After all, you're new to the workplace and don't understand many of the rules. Some of them are traps, especially with the company's current complicated situation."
Zhou Zechuan sighed: "Just like the public opinion event you participated in yesterday, I think it is not advisable."
Ji Wan lowered his head and fixed his gaze, sneering. No wonder he came to see him for no reason, it turned out to be because of this.
It seems Zhao Qiancheng's father has already contacted Zhou Zechuan. He's really good at finding someone.
"But this is also good for the company's publicity. Besides, it's a good thing, not a bad thing."
"Besides, those people spread rumors about me before. How can I tolerate this?"
Ji Wan bit her lip, looking at Zhou Zechuan with eyes full of grievance.
"Wanwan, I understand your grievances. You still don't know if they have any more cards up their sleeves. What if they pull the plug and get away with it? Wouldn't that make you an enemy for the company?"
Zhou Zechuan said softly, as if he understood her difficulties.
"But you don't care if I'm wronged."
"No, I feel bad that you're wronged, but I'm more afraid that those people will bully you even more after they get away. My project is still moving forward, so I can't get out of this."
"Once this project is implemented, we won't have to worry about this and that all the time."
A tear rolled down the corner of Ji Wan's eye, and her pretty face looked so delicate and broken because of this tear.
Zhou Zechuan's throat tightened as he watched, but he managed to keep his composure.
Seeing that Ji Wan didn't say anything, he thought she must be reflecting on herself, so he immediately coaxed her softly.
"We can't show our weaknesses directly to the enemy. Once we've gathered our strength, we can do whatever we want to them."
"But I've already done it."
"It's okay, Wanwan. Just release a statement saying that their company is still investigating and the results are unknown. I was impulsive, but after calming down, I decided to drop the matter and apologize."
"Even if their company is fine, no one will blame you for apologizing first."
"There's not much memory on the internet. If some celebrity gossip gets posted for a few days, who would remember it?"
It was really vicious. He put all the blame on her. Zhou Zechuan came out to apologize on behalf of the company at this time. No matter what happened afterwards, it could not be blamed on him.
It was a really good idea. Ji Wan could even guess what kind of agreement Boss Zhao had reached with him.
Give Wufei some shares, or join forces to swallow up Ji's company and then kick her out.
I'm afraid Zhou Zechuan has used all his efforts in this life to plot against her.
"But I've already helped the victims. If I say I won't help them now, they'll be so disappointed."
"No flies bite seamless eggs. The lawsuit hasn't even started yet. Just say this money is a consolation payment to their families, and that you're just being kind and helping them."
Ji Wan was silent for a long time.
"Wanwan, I'm doing this for your own good. We can't have a head-on confrontation right now."
Zhou Zechuan walked over, sat next to Ji Wan, and put his arm around Ji Wan's shoulders.
"I can do all this, but I'm so scared of Zechuan. What's the point of us being so secretive? Why don't I just announce that we're together?"
"no!"
"Why?" Ji Wan said this, tears falling down in big drops.
Zhou Zechuan was panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. He raised his hand and stroked Ji Wan's face.
"I feel guilty towards your parents and brother. I haven't developed well. I feel guilty and know I'm still weak. I want to wait until I'm strong enough to protect you forever before I make it public, okay?"
"I promise to give you a wedding you will never forget."
Zhou Zechuan's eyes were full of affection and his feelings were sincere. If Ji Wan didn't know his true face, he would have been fooled by him.
