He ultimately did not take any action, fearing he might frighten Jiang Tian.
"Then tell me what the symptoms of a hormonal surge are, how to treat this condition, and what to do if it still can't be cured after calming down?"
Ling Qingyue suddenly became a bit obsessive, insisting that Jiang Tian give a reason.
This time, Jiang Tian didn't speak. She turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at him.
Ling Qingyue felt a pang of bitterness in her heart: "You know perfectly well that I genuinely like you, yet you still insist on distorting my feelings. What's the point of running away?"
After a long silence, Jiang Tian finally spoke: "I can't accept you."
He was sentenced to death in an instant.
Ling Qingyue felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.
But he won't give up easily. He used to be an e-sports player, and he won't admit defeat until the very end.
"reason."
Jiang Tian stared at him: "You are the chairman's son, and the chairman is my benefactor. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. I don't want my relationship with the chairman to become complicated because of you."
"Isn't it a bit too arbitrary of you to reject my proposal just to avoid awkwardness with the old man?"
Ling Qingyue never expected that the most important reason would be his father.
“Your personal qualities do not meet my standards.”
"Where does it not fit?" Ling Qingyue insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
“You are not interested in company management, and as the first in line to succeed to the group, you lack a strong sense of responsibility. As your secretary, I can help you, but as your partner, I will not choose someone who is unwilling to take responsibility.”
Ling Qingyue's anger suddenly subsided a little.
He looked at Jiang Tian and said, "You should know that I am unwilling to take over this group. Besides the fact that I was originally an e-sports player and have no experience in running a group, there are also my family factors."
Ling Qingyue didn't want to mention his family to anyone.
The old man seems to be doing well now, but he was incredibly foolish back then.
His mother was much younger than his father, but she passed away early due to poor health.
Sometimes he was even glad that his mother was thick-skinned and didn't see her lover, with whom she had made vows of eternal love. Apart from remaining faithful to her during their marriage, he actually had many lovers before marriage.
After she left, the old man didn't even bother to hide her anymore, bringing one woman after another into the house.
It was only then that he realized that his father's so-called "fidelity" was manifested in giving his mother the title of wife only and using sweet words to make her believe that he only loved her.
In reality, Ling Qingyue had no idea how many illegitimate brothers, sisters, brothers, and sisters he had.
The old man only claimed to the public that he was his only child.
In reality, beneath the glittering facade lies a tangled mess.
If it weren't for this reason, Ling Qingyue wouldn't have left home so early.
He'd rather train his hands until they were injured at the training base than go back to that villa where he'd constantly see strange women's faces.
Jiang Tian was cultivated by the old man, and he didn't believe she didn't know.
"I won't comment on the chairman's private life, but in his heart, you are his most important child, which is why he wants to hand the company over to you."
Ling Qingyue curled her lips expressionlessly: "What I want, he can't give me. What he forces on me, I don't want."
"I don't want to talk about your father and son's affairs. I'm just a secretary, and the kind of boss I want to work for is someone who is at least diligent in their work."
Ling Qingyue understood the unspoken meaning in her words.
She simply looked down on him, thinking he was irresponsible and irresponsible.
From Jiang Tian's perspective, his performance was indeed not very good.
Trying to suppress the memories that were weighing on his mind, Ling Qingyue took a deep breath: "What can I do to satisfy you? Starting tomorrow, I'll work hard, okay?"
Jiang Tian looked at him in surprise again: "You..."
"I like you. Since I haven't met your standards, I'll try my best to meet them. What else can I do?"
Ling Qingyue took it all in stride.
He really went too far by slacking off. If he wants to win someone over, he needs to be more diligent, so he should take action.
"What else do I need to do to win you over?" Ling Qingyue asked her seriously.
Jiang Tian: "I don't think I ever said I would agree to that."
"Yeah, you have to pursue her first before you can talk about whether she'll say yes or no. I haven't even started pursuing her yet, it's too early to talk about whether she'll say yes or no."
Ling Qingyue had an upright expression on her face.
“I’m eight years older than you. When you were in elementary school, I was in college.”
"So what? When I won my first championship, you were probably still being scolded by your old man. I didn't follow the normal life path, so you don't need to bring up my age."
Ling Qingyue observed her carefully: "Besides, you...you are already very beautiful."
He sounded a little awkward as he said this.
"Do you really have to do this?" Jiang Tian seemed to have been forced into a corner and was starting to compromise.
Ling Qingyue's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's exactly what I want."
"I'm not responsible if you can't catch up."
Ling Qingyue felt that the road ahead had suddenly become bright. He took a deep breath: "Whether I can catch up or not, that's up to me."
Jiang Tian pondered for a long time, her expression somewhat complicated: "Okay, then go ahead and pursue me. Also, can you let me go now?"
Ling Qingyue immediately released her, beaming, "Starting tomorrow, I will be your slave. You can do whatever you want."
Jiang Tian flexed her wrists and glanced at him casually: "Since you said you want to perform well at work, I will definitely give you a thorough evaluation."
Ling Qingyue: "..."
Why does he feel like he's been tricked?
Is this woman using his pursuit of her as leverage to deliberately trip him up?
