wilted
Jin Zhouzhe certainly had some disdain for Chen Qi'an. Chen Qi'an's remarks at this moment seemed to be taking a moral high ground, appearing to be solely concerned with the winter tour. This made Jin Zhouzhe think that Chen Qi'an was a hypocrite deep down.
Why are you pretending? You must be very proud that a woman like Dongyou chose you as her life partner and rejected me for it.
We are all men, do you think I don’t know what you are thinking?
Jin Zhouzhe was not good at disguising himself; all his thoughts were on his face. Coincidentally, Chen Qi'an was very sensitive to other people's micro-expressions, so he naturally understood Jin Zhouzhe's disdain.
He didn't believe that Chen Qian'an was doing this for the sake of winter swimming as he pretended. Perhaps he thought Chen Qian'an was showing off?
It is difficult for Chen Qi'an to accept others' doubts about his feelings for Dong You. He does not allow anyone to doubt his feelings for Dong You, at least not to suspect that he has ulterior motives towards Dong You.
Chen Qi'an was fuming, but thankfully, he wasn't the type to let his emotions consume him. Even when his lungs were about to explode, he managed to remain calm. "Sir, do you have something to talk to Xiao You about?"
Jin Zhouzhe became even more furious when he saw him like this. It seemed that no matter how he provoked the man in front of him, he would not show any obvious emotions and always had that slightly arrogant look on his face.
He still remembered the information he had found. Yes, this person was the most beloved youngest son of the famous Chen family. It was said that he had never suffered any hardship since he was a child.
Chen Qi'an's seemingly nonchalant attitude made him feel like a clown. He was too proud to be outdone. He sneered, trying to appear arrogant and unbridled. "That's between Xiao You and me. It has nothing to do with you."
Dongyou rolled his eyes and wanted to say in a very rude way, "I have nothing to talk about with you, just go away."
Chen Qi'an nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, it's a private matter, not a business matter, right?"
"Tsk." Jin Zhouzhe laughed nonchalantly and asked provocatively, "What the hell does it have to do with you?"
Chen Qi'an kept smiling and slightly raised his voice so that the people outside could hear him shouting: "Secretary Qin——"
The secretary's desk wasn't far from Dong You's office, and since the door was open, Secretary Qin quickly responded, shuffling to the door with a professional gait. "Mr. Chen? Mr. Dong? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Secretary Qin subtly glanced at the man sitting across from Dong You's desk. She knew this man. Not only did she know that he was a former partner, but she also knew that he had been harassing Dong You for almost a year. She had seen Dong You sigh with frustration over this more than once.
Logically speaking, this man shouldn't come again, as the project had already been successfully completed.
How did the front desk let him in?
"Does this sir have an appointment?" Chen Qian looked at the secretary with gentle eyes.
Secretary Qin was, after all, a top student with an excellent memory and unquestionable professionalism. She immediately said firmly, "I can guarantee that there is absolutely no such thing."
Chen Qi'an's gaze shifted to the bewildered Jin Zhouzhe's face again, remaining gentle—even his gaze remained the same as when he looked at the secretary—and he smiled and said, "So, Mr. Jin did trespass."
"Xiaoyou's office has a lot of documents and information involving company confidential information. As a manager of another company, Mr. Jin, can you understand what I mean?" Chen Qian'an still looked at him with a smile, his eyebrows curved, and his snow-white face had a special kind of innocence.
However, Jin Zhouzhe sees an invisible threat in this "innocent" appearance, like a beautiful white tiger, seemingly friendly but actually hiding danger.
There was no way he was going to admit defeat. He forced a flawless smile and said frankly, "I know there are surveillance cameras here. You can check. I haven't moved since I entered." At this point, his confidence gradually filled his chest. A sincere smile crept onto his face, and he returned to his romantic nature. He continued, "I've been sitting here obediently, waiting for the beautiful Miss Dong."
After he finished speaking, his ambiguous eyes lingered on Dong You's body, from her fingertips to her shoulders, and then slowly slid from her shoulders to the face that haunted his dreams and made him feel turbulent.
Dong You couldn't help it and wanted to jump up and beat up this ungrateful person. Chen Qi'an got there first and said slowly, "Mr. Jin, I hope you understand the laws of our country. Even if you didn't touch anything in the office, you have violated your privacy by entering this office."
Jin Zhouzhe was already a little flustered at this time, and said stubbornly: "So!"
Chen Qian'an raised his eyebrows. Dong You rarely saw him looking so mean and couldn't help but be curious about what he was going to say.
He said word by word, "I can call security."
As he spoke, he turned his head towards the secretary who was standing at the door and paying attention to the movements inside the room. The secretary was a smart person and immediately called to inform the security guard.
Jin Zhouzhe naturally saw it too. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Before the secretary's call even got through, he had already stood up, snorted unwillingly, and walked away.
There was no other way to stay. If the security came and chased him away, he'd be utterly humiliated. He'd become a laughingstock in the community. He'd finally managed to establish some good relationships with the younger generation, but if word got out that he'd been chased out by the Winter Tour Company's security, who knew how they'd make fun of him? He was very concerned about maintaining his reputation, especially in front of his peers.
Chen Qi'an grasped this point of his.
After driving Jin Zhouzhe away, Dong You lowered his head and chuckled twice, teasingly saying, "Xiao An, you're quite impressive."
Just now, Chen Qi'an had been at full tilt against Jin Zhouzhe, but now, facing Dong You's teasing, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed. He smiled faintly, not even daring to look Dong You in the eye.
"I didn't expect that children can protect me now. What a surprise~" Dongyou still looked at him with a playful look.
Chen Qi'an felt embarrassed by being stared at, and hurriedly opened his lunch box. His tone sounded calm at first, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor in his voice: "Let's eat."
You could tell he was very embarrassed. Normally, there was almost no sound when he opened his lunch box, but now there was a clear "pop" sound, which was very obvious in the relatively quiet office.
Dong You couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Chen Qi'an's movements immediately stiffened. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Afraid that he would be too embarrassed and angry, Dongyou considerately changed the subject: "Okay, let's eat. We finally got rid of that annoying guy."
Chen Qi'an nodded obediently, thinking to himself——
That's not enough.
Chen Qi'an wanted to completely make him disappear from the winter tour and his own life.
He is so annoying.
Winter travel life continued to be uneventful. He went to work as usual, occasionally worked overtime, and went home every day to have dinner with Chen Qian'an.
Chen Qi'an's life is not so ordinary. Not only does he have to study every day, but he also has to deal with the troublemaker Jin Zhouzhe in addition to studying.
He asked someone to check Jin Zhouzhe's information.
Jin Zhouzhe's father is a famous entrepreneur in S City and a very capable man. He started from scratch and led his company to become one of the top 500 companies in the country in just five years. It is now one of the best companies in the country.
Jin Zhouzhe is the only child of him and his foreign wife. He and his wife were first loves, and although they were married, his wife yearned for freedom, so they lived apart most of the time. Every three months, his wife would come to China to stay with him for a while.
When they were together, he was still a poor young man, and his wife's family did not approve of him. But his wife insisted on marrying him, and soon after they got married, she became pregnant. His wife's family was worried that his financial situation would not allow them to provide a good education for the child, so they insisted that they leave the child with her family.
It was not until Jin Zhouzhe was 25 years old that his mother's family agreed to bring Jin Zhouzhe back to the country and train him to become the heir.
The relationship between Jin Zhouzhe and his father is neither good nor bad, just a little closer than strangers. Perhaps because he lacked the company of his children since childhood, Jin Zhouzhe's father doted on him. It can be said that as long as Jin Zhouzhe did not cross the line, his father would almost cover for him.
Jin Zhouzhe is also aware of this. Although what he did was a bit absurd, it was all within the forgivable range.
However, compared with his persistence in pursuing Dong You, it is obvious that this is all because Jin Zhouzhe is very good at concealing things. In addition, the distance between H City and S City is not short, and his father is far away from home, so it is difficult for him to know the specific situation of Jin Zhouzhe. The only person he sent to his father can report to his father: The young master is pursuing a rich lady recently.
What does this tell you? At first glance, nothing seemed amiss. His dad was busy, so he waved his hand and let it go after listening for a few seconds.
Chen Qi'an carefully studied Jin Zhouzhe's information and knew that his father was a man who was absolutely loyal to his marriage. Even though he and his wife did not get together many times a year, he had never been involved in any gossip. This was one of the reasons why Jin Zhouzhe was willing to obey his father's discipline.
Therefore, it can be said that Jin Zhouzhe really stepped on his father's sore spot this time.
Moreover, his father sent him to H City to hone his skills.
Chen Qian'an looked at his company's records, which were not ideal. The performance was far worse than when he was in S City.
Obviously, it didn't achieve the effect his father wanted.
Chen Qi'an compiled the information, deliberately linking his poor academic performance to his unemployed pursuit of married women. He packaged the information, wrote a polite yet assertive letter, obtained Jin Zhouzhe's father's private email address through his brother, and emailed everything directly to him.
Fortunately, although Jin Zhouzhe's father doted on Jin Zhouzhe, he was not a confused "fake father". He knew how to do better for his child's future development.
Every word of Chen Qi'an's letter resonated with him, and it was true. Regardless of whether Jin Zhouzhe's pursuit of married women was true, his performance was undeniably poor. He immediately recalled Jin Zhouzhe from H City and began investigating whether he had affected other people's marriages.
