I nodded. "Yes."
"I see."
Zhou Fang paused slightly, his voice tinged with laughter as he coaxed, "Shall I pick you up?"
He was a little angry at first, but after hearing this, the gloom cleared up and he said, "No need, I drove. But I need to ask Lai Lai first. I might have to check the store first and then come back to you."
As soon as I finished saying this, Jiang Lai called. I quickly said to Zhou Fang, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'll take Lai Lai's call."
After the call was connected, Jiang Lai said in a charming voice, "Ruan Ruan, are you on your way?"
I smiled, "I'm getting ready."
She joked with a smile, "Why don't you go to bed and continue being affectionate with your man for a while?"
I chuckled, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Lai sighed, "This new decoration company isn't very good. I've made an appointment with another one. It would be boring for you to come and wait."
"OK."
I responded simply: "Then... thank you for your hard work?"
"Why work so hard? My annual salary and shares are enough to make others envious."
Jiang Lai finished speaking with a smile, then suddenly realized something was wrong and said, "Ruan Nanzhi! You didn't come here just now and wanted to come back later, did you?"
I started the car and coughed lightly. "Even though we see the truth without saying it out loud, we are still good friends."
“Bullshit!”
Jiang Lai pretended to be angry, "You've put women before friends, so of course I have to tell you the truth."
I laughed, "Aren't we in the honeymoon period? Can you please understand?"
"Okay, okay!"
Jiang Lai sighed to the sky, "I just felt like my lunch had melted a little, and now I'm full again. Being single is so miserable!"
Not long after she broke up with He Ting, I asked her to co-found Nancy.
In the past two years, the company had not yet fully gotten on the right track and did not dare to expand blindly. She was so busy that she wanted to split the company in half and work like a dog every day.
I have no interest or energy for love.
The company's business is booming this year and has expanded in scale. She can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but there is still no sign of falling in love.
I hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "Have you met anyone you've had a crush on in the past two years?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
She hesitated for a moment, then laughed, "You don't think I haven't let go of He Ting yet, do you?"
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I heard her relax like that. "I kind of think so."
"You think I'm as stupid as you are. My heart needs to be tortured so many times before it dies."
Jiang Lai said casually, "Ruan Ruan, we are different. I was born without a heart. The moment I broke up with him, I let it go. So, this page was turned over for me eight decades ago. I am single now simply because I haven't met anyone as good as your Zhou Fang."
"I don't believe it."
I glanced at the traffic light and added, "I just don't believe the first half of your sentence."
Jiang Lai chuckled, "Of course, but I'll make an exception for you."
"Eh."
I was also amused by her, "I'm not disgusted with you anymore, I'm driving."
I felt relieved knowing that she had let go of He Ting.
After all, a married man is not worth her attention.
…
Chi Zhan swore that he didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
Liu Chen heard that Jiang Lai would come to the store today, so he pulled him over to take a look.
When approaching the store, Liu Chen suddenly remembered that he should buy a cup of milk tea. He left it at the door and ran to the milk tea shop outside the shopping mall.
Jiang Lai hung up the phone and turned around, then saw Chi Zhan.
Unlike Chi Zhan who was embarrassed when he overheard someone's conversation, she didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about having her privacy overheard. She raised her red lips and said, "Boss Chi, are you here to inspect your own business?"
Jiang Lai only found out on the day of signing the contract that this shopping mall belonged to Chi Zhan's family.
That day, Liu Chen was simply too familiar with Chi Zhan, so he acted like a bully and vented Zhou's anger.
However, Chi Zhan just watched from the side that day without saying a word. Therefore, Jiang Lai's impression of him... was just average.
Chi Zhan's awkwardness lasted only a moment. Soon, his expression was calm and emotionless. "Yeah, I came here with Liu Chen and just stopped by to take a look."
Jiang Lai was wearing a red dress that made her skin look porcelain-like. She glanced out lazily, "Where's Liu Chen?"
Ever since celebrating Zhou Fang’s birthday that night, this guy likes to send her WeChat messages whenever he has time.
——Do you like this bag?
——Is this necklace beautiful?
——Come out for a drink?
Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions, and Jiang Lai was no longer a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love. She knew what the other person meant with just one look.
"Jiang Lai,"
Chi Zhan was indifferent to the matter, but at that moment, he reminded her, "Liu Chen is interested in you, but he is not suitable for you."
Hearing this, Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
——"He is not right for you", and "You are not right for him".
At first glance, they seem to express the same meaning, but in essence they are completely different. At least, to Jiang Lai, this sentence does not sound as superior as that of a rich person.
She couldn't help but chuckle, "It's not nice to ruin your brother's show like this, is it?"
Chi Zhan disagreed, "If you don't tell him, he won't know."
It's not that he doesn't hope for the best for his brother, but they are all men and they understand each other's intentions too well.
Liu Chen just wanted to see the girl because she was so pretty and beautiful.
If he hadn't heard the phone call just now, Chi Zhan wouldn't have bothered to meddle in other people's business.
This girl says that she can let go easily, but in fact, she can be really moved and heartbroken.
Jiang Lai raised her eyes slightly, looking at the serious man in front of her, and suddenly felt a hint of evil interest, her red lips twitching, "If he is not suitable for me, who is suitable for me? You, Mr. Chi?"
“…”
Chi Zhan frowned and said coldly, "Please respect yourself."
These words are a bit harsh for a girl.
Pian Jianglai didn't care. She smiled coquettishly and waved her phone: "Add WeChat?"
“…”
There are many women who are eager to flirt with Chi Zhan, but they all come in a roundabout way. Few are as direct as Jiang Lai.
His patience was running out, and he turned around and was about to kill the person.
Silly sweet Liu Chen came back with milk tea and stopped him, "Chi Zhan, what are you doing?"
"Mr. Liu,"
Jiang Lai said "Hi" to him and said in a drawling tone: "Boss Chi just told me..."
Chi Zhan gave her a warning look and took out his phone. "Mr. Jiang, add me on WeChat?"
The reason was quite reasonable, "If you have any problems with your store in the future, you can contact me."
…
I drove to the Zhou Building and saw Zhou Fang when I passed the parking lot.
He lazily leaned against the door frame. Seeing me park the car and lower the window, he raised his chin to the security guy beside him and said, "Help me park the car."
The security guy quickly responded, "Yes, Mr. Zhou."
Hearing that, I got out of the car and handed the car keys to the security guy, "Thank you."
The security guy stood straight and said in a deep voice, "You're welcome! Mrs. Zhou!"
“…”
I was terrified.
It was still lunchtime, and his words made many employees coming in and out look at me.
It's no different from a social death scene.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the gloating look in his eyes last week. Without bothering to settle the score, I quickly pulled him away from the scene.
Along the way, whenever employees saw me, they all bowed and said, "Hello, Mrs. Zhou!"
…
So embarrassing!!
It wasn't until I went upstairs and into his office that I glared at him, "You did it on purpose!"
He was so happy that his shoulders were shaking with laughter. "Are you still angry that I didn't tell anyone about you?"
"……roll."
I cursed, "How do they all know me?"
"I just sent an email and copied it to all departments."
"?"
"There's a picture of you in it."
“…”
