Chapter 172 Kill Bai Yueguang and Bind the Devil’s Heart (7)
There was a faint light flashing in Jingze's dark red eyes. There was no expression on his face, but he made people feel dangerous.
He looked at the page on his phone that had no message from the other party, and his mood was not very good. The irritation of dealing with trivial matters for Su Jianbai also came up. He glanced at the time, holding the phone in his hand, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He had been quite content these past two days and wasn't that interested in that sort of thing right now, and he wasn't approachable enough to proactively contact a cheap stand-in.
Jingze's eyes were somewhat vacant, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't even notice the webpage going dark and bright, and then back to dark. He threw his phone aside, sneered, and tried not to think about Li Ziyan and Su Jianbai.
"Dong Dong Dong"
There was a knock on the door. Jingze leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, "Come in."
"Mr. Jing, the chairman just called and asked you to go home this week."
"Go home? What's going on?"
"This... the chairman didn't elaborate, just said that you and your wife should go home together."
Jingze knew it in his heart. Perhaps it was because he did not go back home with Li Ziyan last time that the old guys were unhappy again. He was not a very good person. Because of his devilish nature and the superiority of his family, he was also very flamboyant. However, he still had the proper etiquette and filial piety.
"I understand. You can go down now."
"Um, Mr. Jing, there's one more thing..." The secretary hesitated, looking a bit conflicted. Jing Ze couldn't stand other people dithering, so he glanced at her. The secretary immediately understood and said bluntly, "Mr. Jing, there's a new trending search just now. Mr. Su has linked your name with the names of several other gentlemen to hype up their friendship. Now our official Weibo has many of Mr. Su's fans. Do you want to respond? Or should you remove the trending search?"
This was already Su Jianbai's basic strategy. Jingze liked him and pursued him, so naturally he was willing to lend his popularity to him. Because of his prominent status and this ambiguous relationship, these fans also constructed a very superior family background for Su Jianbai. Even though he had so many resources that were not in line with his status, no one suspected that he was being kept or had any underlying reasons.
This was naturally a good thing for Su Jianbai, but for a company like theirs, it wasn't a significant advantage. While improving product quality was paramount for a company, spokespersons were also a factor. Su Jianbai had made a number of enemies over the years. While he maintained a calm and understanding image, his team's private practices were shady, stealing resources from nearly half the entertainment industry. Those artists weren't likely to simply swallow their anger, and celebrity fans weren't immune to the pressure, so boycotts of endorsements were a common occurrence.
Su Jianbai has only 20 to 30 million fans, among whom there are a certain number of zombie fans and passers-by, and there are not many real fans who can spend money to buy endorsements for him. This will naturally affect Jingze Enterprise's listed shares and product sales.
If it were in the past, the secretary would definitely not say it, but now she knows about the existence of the madam, and the company has been making losses in the past two years. She certainly hopes that her boss can make the right decision.
"I told you before, if he wants to use it, then he can use it. Don't you understand? You don't need to ask me about Su Jianbai in the future."
"...I understand." Having said that, the secretary didn't want to lose her job, so she had to leave the office.
Jingze didn't take her suggestion to heart, instead picking up his phone. He wasn't going to look for Li Ziyan, but rather, his family elders had asked him to call the driver and have him pick up Li Ziyan from school. Jingze smiled, reached out and tugged at his collar, even Gu Chi behind him moved.
"Didn't you say you would be a diligent and responsible Mrs. Jing? Why, is this your way of fulfilling your obligations?" Jing Ze was sitting in the back seat and said this to Li Ziyan as soon as the door opened. Li Ziyan just glanced at him indifferently, with a large gap between them, and leaned against the car door.
"I don't quite understand what Mr. Jing means."
"Do you really not understand, or are you just playing dumb? You haven't even called or sent a single message to your financial sponsor."
"Mr. Jing, I remember you made it very clear at the time that you didn't want anything extraneous to do with me. Now you feel like I've ignored you." Li Ziyan half-lowered his face, smiled and shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless. "I thought all I had to do was satisfy you in bed, but since you've made such a request, I naturally won't refuse. Just give me your contact information, please."
Jingze was still frowning when he heard the previous part, but when he heard Li Ziyan's last sentence, he was stunned and his tone was a little uncomfortable. "You don't know my contact information?"
"After all, there's a difference between our identities. I probably don't meet the standards to get your contact information."
Jingze didn't say anything, but frowned. He opened his phone and called Li Ziyan, then added him on WeChat. "Don't contact me when you have nothing to do."
He was the one who was unhappy that the other party didn't send him a message, and now he was also the one who didn't allow the other party to contact him. Li Ziyan smiled in his heart, thinking that this person was really difficult to please.
"I understand. Don't worry."
Li Ziyan looks soft and docile, but he is actually very tough. Even after signing a treaty with Jingze, he does not feel inferior to others and speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Even though Jingze felt that Li Ziyan was quite bold in speaking to him in such a tone, he did not feel offended at all. He just felt that the other party's lukewarm attitude made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, Li Ziyan's attitude towards love is different from his appearance and usual personality, he is particularly passionate and gentle.
The two men didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment, but fortunately they soon arrived at the Jing family's old house. The two men got out of the car one after the other, without much communication, but they stood much closer to each other, and just looking at each other they really looked like a perfect match.
"Let's go, Madam Jing."
Li Ziyan smiled and put his hand on Jingze's arm. The cool temperature of his hand was transmitted to Jingze's forearm through the thin shirt. Jingze's body trembled for a moment, and quickly returned to normal. His dark red eyes flashed, and he walked into the yard with Li Ziyan.
"Young Master, Young Madam, you two are back. The Master and the others are already waiting inside. Come in quickly."
"Yes, thank you very much."
The two of them entered the house. There was no ambiguous or sweet atmosphere between them, they just looked very well-matched.
As Jingze entered the room, the eyes of several elders lit up, but then their faces turned sour, and their bone wings flapped, bringing up a gust of wind, "You little bastard, you still remember to come back."
