Chapter Sixty-Two: Humanity's Top-Tier Understanding is Nothing More Than This
The day seemed incredibly long; Luo Yan had never felt so tormented during her eight-hour workday.
Although most of her colleagues believed her about the rumors, the subtle, scrutinizing glances they gave her still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Jiaqi, one of the male protagonists in the story, took the day off today. It's unclear whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate attempt to "avoid suspicion" because of this matter.
Looking at his empty workstation, Luo Yan felt a pang of sadness.
As she stepped out the door after get off work, her mind heavy with worry, she sensed something was off.
At this time of day, the entrance is usually just a few colleagues waiting for buses or other people, but today a large group of people have gathered there, all staring in the same direction.
Luo Yan followed the gaze and her eyelids twitched suddenly.
Jiang Sui was seen leaning casually against the door of his conspicuous black SUV, dressed in a black casual suit, looking as eye-catching as a model shooting a car advertisement. He was also holding a large bouquet of roses, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Upon seeing Luo Yan emerge, he immediately straightened up, walked towards her, and handed her the flowers in full view of everyone, while flashing a captivating smile: "Comrade Luo Yan, you've worked hard today. These are for you."
Luo Yan struggled to control her facial twitching, took a step back, and warily sized up the man in front of her: "Whoever you are, get off my boyfriend right now!"
Jiang Sui: "......."
Behind me, a murmur arose.
Jiang Sui glanced at the onlookers, then leaned close to Luo Yan's ear and said, "I'm doing this as you requested, going straight to the point without following the usual methods."
Luo Yan: "???"
Wow, that's top-tier human comprehension!
Let him say what he wants to say, instead of making him perform some kind of performance art at the company entrance during rush hour! Doesn't this jerk know how conspicuous he is? How is this any different from a charade?
"I said I'd change it, didn't I? Wasn't that efficient?"
Jiang Sui put his arm around her shoulder and nodded to the group of dumbfounded colleagues behind her. "Everyone, we're leaving now."
Then, under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he half-hug and half-carry Luo Yan, who was still in a daze, and stuffed her into the passenger seat.
The car drove away smoothly, leaving behind a group of onlookers in front of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Liu Su muttered to herself, "My god! President Jiang's move today... it's so cool it's made my laugh lines even deeper!"
Director Zheng stroked his chin, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Young man... quite high-profile."
Luo Yan placed the flowers on the back seat and rubbed her still-burning face: "Jiang Sui, next time before you go straight to the point, could you give me a warning first? My little heart... can't take your 'surprise'."
“If there’s a warning, it’s not a straight shot.” Jiang Sui said frankly, with a hint of smug satisfaction.
Luo Yan: "..."
Okay, you're handsome, so you're right.
Then, remembering the rumors, she tentatively asked, "Um... what happened on Weibo, you saw it, right?"
"Yes, I saw it."
"I don't know who's so bored..." she deliberately spoke vaguely, wanting to see his reaction.
"Yang Xin," Jiang Sui stated directly, "it's already been resolved."
Luo Yan was taken aback: "Solved? How was it solved?"
“I talked to Wu Yuzhou, and he will keep his wife in check.”
Jiang's words were concise, without mentioning the specific details of their "discussion."
Looking at his calm profile, Luo Yan felt most of her anger dissipate. She lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "She even made it sound so convincing..."
"Rumors always seem plausible at first glance, otherwise how could they deceive people? But..."
Jiang Sui's eyes were deep, and his voice lowered, "Yang Xin is stupid, but she can still think of hurting you through her conduct, so she's not completely brainless. She'll probably cause more trouble."
"Bring it on, I have nothing to fear, I am upright and have nothing to be ashamed of."
Luo Yan smiled at him and saw a bunch of bright red roses in the back seat in the rearview mirror.
"You're acting like this all of a sudden today... is it for my boss and colleagues to see? Even your real boyfriend doesn't care, so it must be fake, right?"
"Comrade Luo Yan, we have a great revolutionary tacit understanding."
Jiang Sui took her hand with his right hand, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind when he remembered that the Weibo post was sent to him by Jiang Qiming.
After the last time at the teahouse, Jiang Qiming didn't contact him again. Everything seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was always in suspense, because this was not Jiang Qiming's style.
This calm is very abnormal.
That evening, Yang Xin looked at the page on her phone that read "This Weibo post has been deleted," and angrily threw her phone on the sofa: "Why should I delete it?!"
"Not only do you have to delete it, you also have to apologize and clarify that the content of that Weibo post was completely fabricated."
Wu Yuzhou loosened his tie, his face grim: "Otherwise, just wait for Jiang Sui to sue you for defamation and infringement. I don't care what happens to you, but don't drag me into it!"
"Aren't you a lawyer?! Why are you afraid of him?"
“Lawyers have to consider who they’re suing!” Wu Yuzhou irritably lit a cigarette. “Jiang Sui is difficult enough to deal with, but Luo Yan has Luo Muyang behind her! With their connections and abilities, they have plenty of ways to make things difficult for us! Because of this incident, Luo Muyang has already informed Zhengwang that he wants to terminate the contract with us. Look at the mess you’ve made!”
Yang Xin bit her lip, glaring at Wu Yuzhou with resentment: "So we're just going to let it go like this?!"
"Forget it? Impossible." Wu Yuzhou exhaled a smoke ring and sneered, "Your low-level tactics will hurt the enemy eight hundred while you lose a thousand yourself, stupid!" He looked at Yang Xin, his eyes filled with a calculating light: "We are not divorced yet, we share the same fate, if we want to achieve our goal, we have to use our brains."
Yang Xin calmed down a bit: "Then... what's your idea?"
“Isn’t there Jiang Qiming? He’s no pushover.” Wu Yuzhou flicked his cigarette ash. “He has a terrible relationship with Jiang Sui and doesn’t approve of Jiang Sui and Luo Yan being together. He’s trying every possible way to make them break up.”
"Ha! Wu Yuzhou, you don't actually think that Luo Yan will accept you back just because she broke up with Jiang Sui? Dream on!"
"Did I think I was like you, with my mind only occupied with jealousy and petty things all day long?"
"So you can't swallow your anger towards Jiang Sui and want to ruin him?"
Wu Yuzhou snorted, "Fine, you're not completely stupid. A tree lives on its skin, and a person lives on their breath. I'll show you, and Luo Yan, whether I'm inferior to Jiang Sui or not!"
Yang Xin sneered disdainfully, "What are you planning to do?"
"First of all, stop playing these childish and foolish tricks of spreading rumors and slander..."
Wu Yuzhou stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and crushed it a few times. "Secondly, if you want to vent your anger, you have to listen to me."
Looking at the man who had once captivated her but now filled her with loathing, Yang Xin knew that this was nothing more than a pact with a tiger. But Wu Yuzhou's goal was to bring down Jiang Sui, and she wanted to make Luo Yan suffer. In this light, they did indeed have a common "enemy."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
A few days later, the news of Feiyang's termination of its contract with Zhengwang Law Firm was officially announced. Almost at the same time, Wu Yuzhou appeared in the chairman's office of Mingsheng Group.
Jiang Qiming casually flipped through the proposal Wu Yuzhou handed him, closed it, and tossed it aside.
"Let's leave it here for now. The Ministry of Justice will notify your firm after they have discussed it."
"Thank you, Chairman Jiang."
Wu Yuzhou offered a token politeness, saying, "We are hoping to resolve your company's legal issues, and I myself am also happy to help Chairman Jiang resolve... troubles outside of the law."
Jiang Qiming looked up at him and said, "I don't quite understand what Attorney Wu means."
Wu Yuzhou smiled and said, "I won't beat around the bush in front of Chairman Jiang. If I have a way to get Jiang to leave Feiyang and return to Mingsheng to take over your business, wouldn't that solve your problem?"
Jiang Qiming's gaze swept coldly over him, without saying a word.
Wu Yuzhou continued to press his advantage: "Chairman Jiang, rest assured, I understand the law and will not act recklessly. I only need your slight cooperation. I hope that after the matter is settled, the legal counsel contract for Mingsheng Group for the next three years can be given to Zhengwang."
Jiang Qiming tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face still expressionless. "I know my son. I'm afraid Attorney Wu is no match for him. After this rumor-mongering incident, he's become wary. I don't know where your confidence comes from?"
"Chairman Jiang, you can consider it. I'll be waiting for you anytime."
Wu Yuzhou stood up, respectfully took out a business card, placed it on the table, bowed, and left the office.
Jiang Qiming picked up the business card and looked at it for a long time before casually tossing it into the trash can under the table.
"Ha... what kind of scumbags dare to come and teach my son, Jiang Qiming?"
In the apartment, Luo Yan sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, munching on potato chips while watching a classic science fiction movie on the projector.
Just then, she glanced at her phone and suddenly exclaimed, "That blogger deleted the post! They even issued an apology and clarified things, and it hasn't even been twelve hours! Haha, it's dawn already!"
Jiang Sui walked over with the freshly pan-fried steak and sat down next to her. "Attorney Wu is quite efficient."
"What's it to him! I've always been innocent."
Luo Yan put down her phone, picked up a potato chip and stuffed it into his mouth. "Of course, Comrade Jiang Sui deserves a lot of credit, so this is a reward for him."
"Don't eat so many potato chips, eat steak instead."
Jiang Sui picked up a knife and fork and cut the steak into small pieces. He then forked a piece and fed it to Luo Yan: "Try it, how does it taste?"
Luo Yan chewed, her eyes lighting up. "Delicious, perfectly cooked to medium-rare!" She naturally moved forward, leaned back, and nestled against Jiang Sui's chest, shrinking into his embrace.
"To have Mr. Jiang personally cook steak for me, that's like reaching the pinnacle of my life, right?"
"I can get you to the top anytime."
"..."
Luo Yan blushed instantly.
Suddenly getting on the highway, emphasizing the element of being caught off guard.
Jiang Sui smiled and ruffled her hair, continuing to feed her steak with a fork. Suddenly, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Is the human sofa comfortable?"
Are you feeling unwell?
"It's not that I feel unwell, it's just..."
He lowered his voice and said, "With your posture, it's a little... difficult for me to control the gun."
Luo Yan: "..."
Oh no, tomorrow will be another day of backache and muscle soreness.
