After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Qin Rou spoke up, “Jian, what are you playing at? You’re not short of money, so why do you need it?”
“What do you mean ‘playing at’? Do we just leave her to continue causing trouble for others?” Jian Dan said sheepishly.
“With the money, you plan to…”
“Donate it-” Jian Dan lifted her chin proudly.
“Donate it?”
“Yes, didn’t you also say I’m not short of money!
I’ll donate it to a stray animal shelter.
Let’s go, we’re already late for work!” Jian Dan reminded.
The little episode had indeed made them late for work.
Having passed the start of the workday, Fang He had already made several calls to Mengmeng, but under those circumstances, Mengmeng hadn’t been able to answer.
Because Mengmeng hadn’t answered her phone, Fang He was already pacing anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.
As soon as they returned to New E Media, they saw Fang He waiting at the entrance…
When Fang He saw Mengmeng, he immediately rushed over and grabbed her hand, “Where have you been? Why didn’t you answer your phone? You had me worried sick!”
“I had plenty to eat for lunch, I don’t feel like having any more dog food now, so I’m heading up first!” Jian Dan said bluntly, waved her hand, and went inside.
The other two followed Jian Dan inside, as they also didn’t want to stay and ingest any more ‘dog food’.
Upon reaching Jian Dan’s office, Yuan Xinjie was the first to speak, “Jian, you’re working at New E Media now?”
“Mhm~ Sort of!”
“Are you guys short of directors here? I’d like to work here too!” Yuan Xinjie said longingly at Jian Dan.
“What suddenly made you want to work here?”
“Because you’re here!” Yuan Xinjie blurted out without any hesitation.
“Ah?”
“If I work here, I can be with you every day!”
Jian Dan’s forehead was instantly covered in black lines, “Are you mistaking me for your boyfriend?”
“I don’t care, I just want to stick with you!
Would that be okay, Jian? Please agree, okay?” Once Yuan Xinjie used her trump card, Jian Dan was left without a choice but to concede…
“Fine!”
“Yay- I can work at New E Media now! I can be with Jian Yi every day at work, I’m really so happy!”
Jian Dan finally understood why grown men were helpless when they were cooed at by their significant others.
This move was indeed too powerful.
After Xia Mengjiao and Yuan Xinjie left, Jian Dan was bored in the office alone. Realizing she had nothing important to do that afternoon, she decided to play hooky and go pick up her ‘uncle’ from work.
She absolutely couldn’t let her ‘uncle’ pick her up after work, lest Qin Rou see the marks on his neck and leave her utterly mortified!
So she decided to strike first.
Jian Dan took a taxi straight to Qin Corporation…
Taking the elevator to the 33rd floor, just as she stepped out, she saw Chu Liyuan. His look was particularly strange and Jian Dan immediately thought of the marks on her ‘uncle’s’ neck.
Jian Dan promptly avoided Chu Liyuan’s gaze, gave a quick greeting, and directly headed towards her ‘uncle’s’ office…
Before entering, she took a moment to compose herself and knocked on the door.
“Come in-”
When Jian Dan entered the office, Chu Liyuan didn’t lift his head, as he hadn’t expected the visitor to be his Jian Jian, who never knocked when entering his office.
“What is it?”
Seeing that her ‘uncle’ still wasn’t looking up, she knew he must have mistaken her for one of his employees.
Since that was the case, she decided to play along.
“Mr. Chu, there is a document that needs your signature. I wonder if you’d have time to sign it for me?”
Chu Liyuan recognized Jian Dan’s voice all too well; as soon as she began talking, he lifted his head and their eyes met…
Chu Liyuan sketched a charming smile, stood up, and walked over to Jian Dan, wrapping an arm around her waist and whispering near her ear, “Instead of signing a document, there’s something else I’d like to do first?” Jian Dan’s cheeks instantly flushed, and she raised her hands in surrender, “Uncle, I was wrong! I won’t dare do it again!”
“Really realize your mistake?” Chu Liyuan seemed to relish the moment; if only Jian Jian had resisted, he could have disciplined her right there and then.
“Mhm mhm mhm!” Jian Dan nodded vigorously, like a garlic smasher.
Seeing Jian Jian’s obedient demeanor, Chu Liyuan decided to let her off, for now, “What brought you here all of a sudden?”
“I came to check on you! To see if my ‘uncle’ has been sneakily flirting with any other women behind my back!”
“And are you satisfied with the results?”
“Mhm! Quite satisfied!”
“Why did you knock all of a sudden?”
“Wasn’t it an order from ‘uncle’ himself? To have all Qin Corporation’s employees knock on any door before entering.
I wouldn’t want my salary docked,” Jian Dan said deliberately..
