Chapter 464: The Ex-Girlfriend Who Hates the Poor and Loves the Rich (11)
Now, no matter how conflicted she was, she couldn't settle the score with Zhongli Ximo, after all, she still needed help from him.
At noon, Zuo Shichu actually sent a message to Zhongli Ximo asking about the lawyer.
Zhongli Ximo quickly sent her a few WeChat business cards, all of which were from lawyers. It was obvious that he wanted her to add the lawyers' WeChat directly. You know, ordinary people can't add famous lawyers' WeChat, and can only find their assistants' phone numbers on the law firm's website. It is conceivable how important these business cards pushed by Zhongli Ximo are.
[My colleague from last night needed it. I asked her to add the lawyer’s WeChat directly. Is that okay? Will it affect you?] Zuo Shichu asked.
[No, just add it directly. I've told them.] Zhongli Ximo replied.
Zuo Shichu was surprised. He didn't expect that he was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. Even when an ordinary employee of the company needed a lawyer, he was so eager to help.
So Zuo Shichu didn’t say anything else and directly asked Sister Hong to add the lawyer on WeChat and let them talk it out themselves.
Sister Hong came back to work the next day. As soon as she arrived, she thanked Zuo Shichu with gratitude, saying that the lawyer introduced by her boyfriend was very good and she chose the most suitable one. The lawyer said that she would have a great chance of getting more property and winning custody of her daughter, so Sister Hong was extremely grateful to Zuo Shichu. If it weren't for her boyfriend, she would never have been able to hire such a good divorce lawyer.
Zuo Shichu hesitated to speak, but finally gritted his teeth, pulled Sister Hong to the rooftop, and said to her: "Sister Hong, the man who went with me to pick you up that night was not my boyfriend..."
"Who... is that?" Sister Hong asked puzzledly when she saw the obvious struggle on Zuo Shichu's face.
"He's the new president of our company, but I just found out about it yesterday." Zuo Shichu gave up.
"What? He's the president of our company?" Sister Hong's eyes widened in disbelief. Then she suddenly looked straight at Zuo Shichu, "Then why is he with you in the middle of the night? What is your relationship?"
Zuo Shichu sighed and said, “It was during the last trip at public expense that I thought he was our new president’s special assistant or something like that. He was also good-looking, so I hooked up with him. I just wanted to relieve the loneliness in my life… Hey, Sister Hong, don’t look at me like that. Food and sex are the most basic desires of men and women. We are willing to do this, and we don’t have a significant other. It won’t hurt anyone else. There’s nothing wrong with hooking up, right?
I just didn't expect that he was actually the new CEO! I suspect he was also misleading me and hiding his identity from me, perhaps because he was afraid that I would have unrealistic ambitions after knowing his true identity and would like to get close to him? "
Zuo Shichu guessed.
Sister Hong looked at her, sighed, and said, "Shichu, you are still young, enjoy yourself as much as you can now, but don't get too emotional. Even if the new president doesn't have that kind of status, he is still a rare and sought-after man, not to mention that he comes from an extraordinary family... If you fall in love with a man like that, it's easy to get hurt."
As someone who had experienced a failed marriage, Sister Hong could only advise Zuo Shichu not to fall in love with the new president, especially since their beginning was not so glorious.
Zuo Shichu knew her worries and said, "Don't worry, Sister Hong, I know myself very well. He and I were just physically together and not emotionally involved. We got tired of each other after a while, and we naturally separated."
Sister Hong nodded and said, "Then it's best if you keep this relationship a secret."
"Of course, if someone finds out, I won't be able to stay in the company. Now you're the only one who knows about it." Zuo Shichu said with a smile. Although this job was ordinary and would not make her rich, she didn't want to lose it.
"I will keep it a secret for you, but you also have to be more careful." Sister Hong reminded.
However, it is not enough for them to just keep a low profile. After all, as long as they appear in the same place, anyone who is interested will naturally know the relationship between them.
So, after Zuo Shichu pretended not to have discovered Zhongli Ximo's identity and had been secretly doing it with him for two months, she was visited by a woman.
When there was a knock on the door, Zuo Shichu thought it was the delivery man and went to open the door excitedly. However, when he opened the door, he saw that the person standing at the door was not the delivery man, but a young and beautiful woman wearing all branded clothes and carrying a bag that looked extremely expensive. She was looking at Zuo Shichu with arrogance and a hint of disdain.
"Are you the woman who seduced Ximo?" the young lady raised her chin and asked.
Zuo Shichu immediately realized that someone was causing trouble.
"Who are you?" Zuo Shichu narrowed her eyes and asked. If Zhongli Ximo had a fiancée but cheated on her, she would beat him into a pig's head even if it meant losing her job!
"Who am I? I am Brother Zhongli's childhood sweetheart! Aunt Zhongli likes me very much. She said that I am the most suitable person to be Brother Zhongli's wife." The eldest lady immediately declared her identity and status.
"Oh, then are you engaged to Zhongli Ximo? He said in person that you are his fiancée, will he marry you?" Zuo Shichu asked directly. She didn't care whether this woman was Zhongli Ximo's childhood sweetheart, she only cared whether Zhongli Ximo had lied to her.
"Don't be so complacent. Although Brother Zhongli hasn't gotten engaged to me yet, my family and his have already come to a tacit understanding that he will definitely marry me in the end. Don't think you can snatch him away from me!" The eldest lady was like an angry little hen.
"Tacitly understood? That means it's not announced." Zuo Shichu nodded. That's what she said. When she investigated the situation of Zhongli's family before, she didn't see any rumors about Zhongli Ximo being engaged to anyone. It seems that this young lady can only be a "childhood sweetheart" for the time being, not a girlfriend or fiancée.
Zuo Shichu raised his phone and said, "Did you hear that? Zhongli Ximo, your childhood sweetheart is here to see me. You brought this trouble upon yourself, so solve it yourself. Don't let her disturb me."
When the eldest lady saw Zuo Shichu's actions, her face changed immediately. She rushed over in panic and tried to snatch Zuo Shichu's phone, asking, "What have you done? Have you been calling Brother Zhongli? Shut up!"
Zuo Shichu lightly pushed the young lady away, then pointed the phone at her and turned on the hands-free function. Zhongli Ximo's low and anxious voice came over: "I'm sorry, I'll be there right away."
"Zuo Shichu! How dare you plot against me!" When the young lady heard Zhongli Ximo's words, the expression on her face became distorted. She never expected that Zuo Shichu would be so ruthless. He kept talking to Zhongli Ximo on the phone for such a long time, exposing all her scheming methods to him.
Her eyes turned red and she wished she could bite Zuo Shichu to death.
