Chapter 131 This wine can soothe jealousy
His eyes paused slightly, and he casually replied, "I have a master's degree from an Ivy League university abroad, an undergraduate degree in financial management, and a graduate degree in law. I have five years of work experience, and previously worked as the Financial Director for Australia and New Zealand Technology in Hong Kong for three years."
Jiang Yuan listened silently, matching these impressive resumes with Lin Zhi's capable and domineering face, and thought to himself, no wonder this woman is so arrogant, she really has the capital to be proud.
After he finished speaking, she didn't say anything. He waited for her for a few seconds at ease, and then heard her ask, "She's not young anymore, is she?"
He replied calmly, "She's 30 this year, the same age as me. Is she considered young or not?"
Jiang Yuan didn't know why he emphasized that he was the same age as him and put himself and Lin Zhi together. What did he mean?
She suddenly felt the tea was too hot. She put the cup on the table and said calmly, "You are already quite old."
His eyes deepened, and he looked at her with a half-smile on his face: "The position of financial director requires experienced people who can stand on their own. Sometimes being older is a good thing."
Jiang Yuan looked up at him and said nothing.
She thought of Liang Zhouheng's words and felt that they were particularly heartbreaking. She didn't like to hold it in, so she asked directly, "Do you admire her very much?"
People like him have unpredictable personalities, and it is very likely that their interests will shift in a short period of time.
He had no emotional foundation for her in the first place, and the most frequent interaction between them was in bed. This kind of unreliable relationship was the easiest to be replaced.
Jiang Yuan stared at his face closely, seeing the corners of his lips slightly curved, his brows slightly relaxed, his thin lips slightly parted, and he said in a half-smile, "You don't like her, so I asked her to make things difficult for me?"
Jiang Yuan's heart had sunk to the bottom, and her face looked very ugly. She could no longer tell whether he was joking or speaking the truth in a joking tone. She only felt that anger was brewing in her chest.
She pursed her lips, twirled the teacup in front of her with her fingers, and didn't say anything for a long time.
The box was silent when the two waiters came in, but one could feel that the air had become a little stiff. The two people at the table were no longer talking to each other as before, and no one was looking at each other.
They brought the dishes to the table one by one, then opened the bottle of wine and filled the goblet in front of Yin Dong. Then they took the glass in front of Jiang Yuan and were about to pour it in when Jiang Yuan stopped them, "Sorry, I don't want to drink anymore."
The waiter held up the bottle of wine with an embarrassed look on his face, thinking: What's going on? Didn't he just say that he was in a good mood today and wanted to drink with me?
The waiter glanced at Yin Dong's face with a questioning look in his eyes. Yin Dong took the bottle of wine and the glass from the waiter and slowly poured it for Jiang Yuan. He said in a neutral tone, "How can you treat a guest without drinking? Have some. This wine can help soothe your jealousy."
When the waiters heard the sound, they looked at each other for a moment and then started to hold back their laughter.
Being teased like this in front of outsiders, Jiang Yuan's face turned red in an instant.
The waiter left again, the blush still on Jiang Yuan's cheeks. She kept a straight face and turned away from him, but he couldn't stop her from teasing him. "Are you angry that she has a higher position than you, or are you jealous that she has more experience than you?"
Jiang Yuan finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and the anger she had been holding in finally burst out. "Why should I be jealous of her? She's seven years older than me, so it's not surprising that she has such a resume. Beicheng University isn't necessarily inferior to the Ivy League. I don't think I'm any worse than her. If you admire her and are willing to pay her a salary of millions or tens of millions a year, that's your business. Even if you're so happy that you build a home for her and raise her there, I have no right to say 'no'."
