Chapter 39 Chapter 39 The Forgotten Story
Soon she sent a WeChat message to Mrs. Jiang.
JY: [I'm sorry, I didn't know Wang Shanshan dared to market herself this way. I'll handle it. Don't be angry.]
Men's and women's thinking is very different. Yao Jingjing knew that what she was saying now must be what Mrs. Jiang would like to hear.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang replied to her soon.
The girl who couldn't make a wish: "It's okay. You've already denied it, haven't you? Does this sudden announcement of having a wife affect you?"
JY: [What's the impact? You're my wife anyway.]
The girl who couldn't make a wish: [(shy)]
Afterwards, Yao Jingjing asked her out for dinner. The two of them chatted sweetly and made an appointment at a restaurant. She told Mrs. Jiang to come to the company to find her so that she could see her earlier.
Hearing Jiang Yue's corny yet natural words, Wen Yao almost wanted to put down her phone and applaud him.
You are the master of picking up girls. If a man like you puts in some effort, there will be no chance for the male protagonist!
After giving an affirmative reply, she looked up and said to the taxi driver, "Go to Yueer Building."
When she arrived at the company, Wen Yao was once again taken to the president's office building by the front desk.
Jiang Yue was still in the office. Through the glass door, she could vaguely see him talking to someone inside. The female secretary who poured milk for her last time was not there. She was received by another office secretary.
She wanted to ask for a glass of hot milk, but the secretary had already poured her barley tea.
It seems that this is probably the default tea for entertaining guests here... Wen Yao picked it up and tasted it, it was quite fragrant.
After the secretary left, she looked down at her feet and found that the instep of her feet had been rubbed red. No wonder it hurt.
After coming here a few times, she knew there was a lounge with snacks and other things, so she decided to go and see if there were any Band-Aids.
The lounge was empty, so she walked to the innermost side and started looking, but she inadvertently heard the sound of a phone call.
I turned around and saw a window next to it. There was a corridor outside. Someone was talking on the phone in the corridor, so the sound came in through the window.
She recognized the standard Mandarin mixed with dialect from the voice and it was the female secretary from last time, Yao Jingjing.
"He hasn't even talked to me, why should I keep looking for him?"
"His family is well-off, but they look down on me. What can I do?"
"That's his parents' too."
"Civil servants are amazing, I'm even in the Fortune 500!"
…
Wen Yao couldn't help laughing.
This made me realize that my parents were questioning me about why my blind date wasn't going anywhere.
Yes, civil servants are great. The only time she went on a blind date, she met a civil servant who was critical of everything from her family background to her education to her job. That was the most uncomfortable meal she had ever had.
Yao Jingjing, who was on the phone, was already getting impatient:
"Oh, people look down on you, it's useless for you to take the initiative!"
"Besides, can you let me know before you find a partner for me? If I knew it was someone like this, I wouldn't agree!"
"What's wrong with 28? The later you get married, the lower the divorce rate."
"Alright, alright, I can't say any more. If your performance deduction is later, it's your fault!"
After hanging up the phone, Yao Jingjing sighed.
Wen Yao couldn't find a Band-Aid, so she decided to go ask Yao Jingjing.
After coming out of the lounge, Yao Jingjing came back soon. When she saw her, she seemed surprised for a moment, and then greeted her.
Wen Yao asked her if she had a Band-Aid.
Yao Jingjing shook her head and asked her if she was injured anywhere.
Wen Yao pointed at her feet embarrassedly.
Yao Jingjing thought for a moment and hesitated, "I don't have any Band-Aids, but...what size are you wearing? I have a pair of flat shoes at the company. I wonder if Madam would mind."
Wen Yao didn't mind, but she felt a little embarrassed.
Yao Jingjing quickly turned around and went to her workstation to get a pair of flat shoes. She explained to her, "They're new. I haven't worn them before. They're the ones... maybe the quality isn't very good..."
Wen Yao took a look and found that the texture of the shoe box was very familiar to her, just like the shoes she bought online or from WeChat merchants.
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll give you a new pair later."
"No, no, they're just ordinary shoes." Yao Jingjing was saying this when a male voice came from behind: "Yao Jingjing——"
Wen Yao turned around and saw someone she didn't know, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, who looked like a leader.
Yao Jingjing raised her head and quickly called out, "Manager Zhang."
Manager Zhang walked up to her and said, "Come with me to meet Mr. Zhao from Xinda on Friday night. We really don't have many women here, and I see that Mr. Zhao has a good impression of you, so I'm asking for a favor. I've already spoken to Mr. Jiang."
Wen Yao was surprised. Wasn't Yao Jingjing just an office secretary? How could she be borrowed to accompany a client to dinner? It sounded so much like an unspoken rule?
But Yao Jingjing didn't refuse at all and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go with you then."
"Okay, it's settled." Manager Zhao said and left with satisfaction.
After he walked away, Wen Yao immediately asked Yao Jingjing, "Are you going to accompany me for drinks? What do you think of Mr. Zhao?"
Yao Jingjing laughed when she heard this and explained, "Boss Zhao is a woman, and Manager Zhang is from the Network Security Department. We're currently negotiating with Cinda about an acquisition project, but they don't have any suitable female colleagues, so they asked me to go."
Only then did Wen Yao feel relieved.
But she also felt that the name Manager Zhang was very familiar. She must have written some small plot involving Yao Jingjing and Manager Zhang, but the plot was too small and the characters were not important. After a long time, she forgot about it.
It shouldn't be an important plot, she thought.
Just after changing into flat shoes, Jiang Yue came out and went to the tea restaurant with her.
When getting off the elevator, he took her hand very naturally.
Wen Yao felt a chill, but while enduring it, she wondered what the chances were of Lu Wan being believed if she told her everything now.
Before she could figure it out, Jiang Yue asked her, "Are you angry about Wang Shanshan?"
There was no one else in the elevator, and Wen Yao quickly shook her head: "No, it's none of your business."
"I'm glad you're not angry."
"Will you go to Beijing with me tomorrow?" he asked again. "You have to stay for two days. I'm afraid you'll be bored at home."
Wen Yao thought about it. It was indeed boring at home, but if she went to Beijing with him, wouldn't she have to stay in a hotel? Wouldn't that just book one room? Wouldn't that give him the opportunity to commit a crime? He's not some innocent boy!
"It's better not to do that. It's not good for people to know that you bring a woman to work." She said virtuously.
Jiang Yue said softly, "It's nothing. You can go to those attractions while I'm working."
Wen Yao shook her head: "I've been to its prototype city, it was too dry, I wasn't used to it, so I didn't go back."
Jiang Yue no longer insisted and said, "Then wait for me at home."
Wen Yao nodded obediently: "Yes."
She felt that their acting skills were becoming more and more proficient, and they could be named a model couple.
The next afternoon, Jiang Yue set off for Beijing.
Wen Yao, a homebody, doesn’t feel bored. Playing games, reading novels, and watching TV series can keep her at home all day long.
It was only the second night after Jiang Yue left that she chatted with Lu Wan online and learned that she would also be going on a business trip to Beijing in the next few days.
Wen Yao thought it was a coincidence at first, but then she thought she seemed to know the plot!
Because the novel was written from Lu Wan's perspective, she didn't even think about it when Jiang Yue mentioned going to Jing City.
In the novel, Lu Wan met Jiang Yue on the plane on her way back.
The two were on the same flight and were both in first class, so they met.
Then Jiang Yue stopped Lu Wan and chatted with her. In his excitement, he hugged her forcefully.
Of course Lu Wan pushed Jiang Yue away and left, and Jiang Yue returned to his seat in pain.
This coincidental meeting is just the beginning of the story, but there is more to come.
Also on the plane was a wealthy young lady from Binjiang.
The girl knew Jiang Yue and Lu Wan, and seeing this exciting scene, she secretly took a photo of it.
She happened to be friends with Jiang Chen, so she immediately sent the photo to him.
Jiang Chen has a crush on Jiang Lin and hates Lu Wan. After getting the photo, he sent it to Jiang Lin and said some gossipy words, implying that Lu Wan and Jiang Yue have an improper relationship.
Jiang Lin was an illegitimate child who was made legally legal. In fact, he was not confident in front of Lu Wan. When he got this photo, he said nothing.
But deep down he believed in Lu Wan, but his hatred for Jiang Yue was even deeper.
Jiang Yue only mentioned that he wanted her to accompany him to Beijing, but he did not insist, because he only knew the first part of the plot and did not know that Jiang Chen had made a fuss about all the things in the back, so he did not think it was a big problem.
The problem was indeed not a big one, and it was not a critical turning point, but it did have an impact on Jiang Yue.
Attracting the male protagonist's hatred is no small matter.
Wen Yao didn't know whether to remind Jiang Yue to stay away, but she was also afraid that if she told him the truth, he would ask her to fly to Beijing immediately.
She didn't want to stay in the same hotel with him.
While she was hesitating, Wen Yao sent her a message, telling her that a famous film director and producer was going to give a lecture at the Beijing Film Academy, and she wanted to go, but unfortunately she was no longer in Beijing that day.
Wen Yao thought for a moment and replied:
【Then stay in Beijing for one more day. 】
Xiaolu: [But the day after tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, I have to go back.]
The girl who couldn't make a wish: [Your dad must be very busy. He might only be available in the evening. You can finish the lecture and come back to dinner to have dinner with him.]
Xiaolu: [Yes, I'll go ask my mom about the arrangements for that day.]
Two minutes later.
Xiaolu: [I asked, and my mom said my dad was busy that day and wouldn't be home for his birthday until 10pm. That's perfect, I can go back later.]
The girl who couldn't make a wish: [Yeah!]
In this way, Wen Yao successfully delayed Lu Wan's return time by one day, so that she could avoid Jiang Yue.
Although she didn't want to follow Jiang Yue or be threatened by him, at least Jiang Yue hadn't done anything against the law of nature yet, so she still didn't want to kill him.
If he can try to avoid the plot and not do anything too extreme later, she can also help him.
After finishing her chat with Lu Wan, she turned on a TV series to watch.
The plot happens to be about the workplace. The male protagonist was falsely accused of sexual harassment by his female subordinate and was suspended from his job. The female protagonist tried her best to help the male protagonist find the truth and clear his name.
As she watched, Wen Yao suddenly remembered the little plot that she had forgotten.
Yao Jingjing appeared later. When the struggle between Jiang Lin and Jiang Yue had reached a fever pitch, she went to find Jiang Lin and told him many secrets of Jiang Yue's office and Jiang Yue's conspiracy against Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin knew the inside story in advance, so he not only avoided Jiang Yue's plan, but also launched a fatal revenge on Jiang Yue.
The reason why Yao Jingjing rebelled was because of an unspoken rule.
She said that Jiang Yue arranged for her to accompany a client with the company manager, and then she was drunk and raped by the company manager.
The manager was Jiang Yue's confidant and threatened her that if she dared to make a fuss, she would be fired and everyone would know about it.
She had no evidence and needed a job, but because of her weak personality, she finally chose to swallow her anger.
But this matter has been weighing on her heart, making her unable to let it go. Finally, when she collapsed, she decided to take revenge.
So she took advantage of her job to steal Jiang Yue's secrets, found Jiang Lin, and gave him the information.
Romance novels rarely write about business struggles and workplace situations, so Wen Yao just glossed over this entire plot, simply stating that Jiang Yue had lost the support of the people and was defeated by Jiang Lin in his career.
So she couldn't remember where Yao Jingjing, Manager Zhang and others had appeared.
Now that I think about it, Manager Zhang was Jiang Yue's confidant, and he raped Yao Jingjing.
When did the rape happen? Could it be now?
Thinking of Yao Jingjing's face, she immediately decided to stop this plot.
