Chapter 120 Thank you, Consultant, for your attention
Jiang Tingwan tapped the window lightly with her fingertips, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, her voice rising slightly: "Someone interested?"
She has a lot of things that interest her, but she can't think of many people...
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a layer of warmth on the back of his hand.
Xie Duo's slender fingers had passed through her fingers without her noticing, and the interlocking gesture made Jiang Tingwan narrow her eyes and glare at him warningly.
She still remembers what happened in the car last time, and she will not let him succeed again this time.
"I just want to hold your hand."
The look in Xie Duo's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses was not as calm as usual. He lowered his head and placed a pious kiss on the back of her hand, and then stroked the delicate skin at the base of her palm with his fingertips, as if he was playing with a precious piece of porcelain.
He originally thought that with this position, he could legitimately come to accompany her and see her every day. But who knew that they were both busy with their own things, and what was more difficult was that she and Ou Shan had conflicts, so it was not convenient for them to meet on weekdays.
This situation made the longing in his heart spread like a wildly growing vine, almost swallowing him up completely. Every minute and every second was spent in agony, and he was almost going crazy thinking about her.
Then, he thought of the fact that there were three men around her, one, two, three, all of whom were plotting against her. He was almost unable to resist disrupting his plan. So, this was part of the reason why he investigated Ou Shan in advance.
After all, he was not a noble man, and he sought fame and fortune only to be worthy of standing by her side. When he found out that she was not only a brilliant and highly-regarded figure on campus, but also the eldest daughter of the prominent Jiang family, he decided to agree to his father's request and return to the Xie family.
Because only in this way can he catch her eye.
Jiang Tingwan really couldn't understand what he was thinking every time, so she sneered: "You can hold my hand, but what benefits does Consultant Xie plan to give me?"
"You can have whatever you want." Xie Duo answered without hesitation, looking straight at her.
Jiang Tingwan turned her head and looked out the window.
This man was wearing ascetic gold-rimmed glasses and had an elite demeanor, but his words were always so blunt that they made people's ears burn.
Last time in the car, he also used this calm and self-controlled outfit to do the most outrageous thing...
The car drove into the mountain path and finally stopped in front of a white-walled courtyard hidden in a bamboo forest. The bluestone steps wound upwards, and the copper bells hanging from the eaves jingled in the wind. Unlike the luxurious and splendid restaurants on weekdays, this place seemed quiet and elegant.
"Director Jia, sorry to keep you waiting." Xie Duo pushed open the door of the box, and the middle-aged man sitting inside immediately stood up.
After listening to Xie Duo's introduction, although Jiang Tingwan still had that polite smile on her face, she was a little surprised in her heart. This was actually the real person in charge of the government project that she and Ou Shan attached great importance to.
Although she had long guessed that the name Xie Duo was just a cover, she did not expect to meet the person in charge directly under such circumstances.
She glanced calmly at Xie Duo, who was calmly pulling out a chair for her.
Director Jia smiled and handed over the tea order: "I have read General Manager Jiang's plan. It is very forward-looking."
"Director Jia, thank you for the compliment." Jiang Tingwan took the teacup and gently turned the edge of the cup with her fingertips. "We have calculated that this plan can make the market share more stable..."
Xie Duo sat aside, watching Jiang Tingwan explain the various parameters with ease.
Today she wore a light blue silk shirt, a white hip skirt, and her hair was tied up low, which made her look gentle and intellectual. But when she talked about her professional field, the sharp edge in her eyes reminded people of a sword being unsheathed, and she flipped through the PPT on the tablet neatly.
The look in Director Jia's eyes gradually changed from politeness at the beginning to satisfaction and appreciation.
After three rounds of tea, Director Jia said meaningfully before leaving: "General Manager Jiang is young and promising. We can have more exchanges on such projects in the future."
When the three were about to leave, Jiang Tingwan's high heels accidentally twisted slightly on the bluestone slab, and the heel got stuck in the gap.
She was holding onto the door frame and was about to bend down.
The next moment, Xie Duo was already kneeling on one knee in front of her.
"Don't move." He held her ankle with his palm, and deftly hooked his fingertips on the laces, putting the diamond-studded stilettos firmly back on her feet. His movements were smooth and flowing, as if he had practiced them thousands of times.
Jiang Tingwan's ears felt hot, as he did this action so intimately. Then she caught a glimpse of Director Jia next to her.
She lowered her voice and said, "Thank you, Advisor. Be aware of the impact."
Xie Duo pretended not to hear her. When he stood up, he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and said, "Go back to the car first." His fingertips lightly brushed Jiang Tingwan's earlobe, and a warm breath came from her.
After Jiang Tingwan walked away, the gentleness on Director Jia's face gradually faded.
"You kid." He took off his glasses and wiped the lenses, then suddenly sneered, "I was wondering why you were so interested in Tingyue's plan. It turns out you're interested in the girl."
His eyes behind the glasses were as sharp as a knife. "Do you know that if this incident today gets out, you will be in big trouble?"
The mountain breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the hem of Xie Duo's coat was slightly lifted.
"I know you are very clear about your personal and public life. If her proposal wasn't to your liking, you wouldn't have agreed to meet her." He looked at Jiang Tingwan's receding back and said calmly, "I'm doing a good deed by helping you get in touch with her earlier."
"Don't give me that."
Director Jia put his glasses back on heavily, "Even so, Ou Shan has just started to make progress, you are too impatient."
He patted his shoulder earnestly and said, "It seems that you usually do things very reliably. Now it seems that you still need to practice."
Xie Duo didn't comment on his words, and said calmly, "I promise next time."
He was not anxious to make her happy or gain a benefit, but he wanted to finish these things quickly and let her progress faster.
However, he did not mention this to the person in front of him.
Director Jia knew from the look on his face that he hadn't listened at all. However, he was too lazy to expose him.
At first, he was a little annoyed by the sudden dispatch of such a person who was not familiar with Hong Kong City. But now Xie Duo's ability to do things has become more and more outstanding, and he has gradually come to appreciate this young man. However, he specially set up a bridge for the girl today, which made him suspicious again.
