“Without a word, they found me by helicopter!”
“You don’t know how rough those savages at the village were. We were surrounded, and General Zhan protected Ms. Jiang with one hand while fighting them with the other.”
“It was a whirlwind of flashing blades and swordplay, and amidst the chaos, he carved a bloody path.”
“That valiant, charismatic, manliness, ah, thinking about it now, even as a man, I can’t help but be smitten!”
It wasn't just Engineer Zhang who was smitten; the entire technology department, a group of men, listened to his rapturous description and were all equally captivated.
They all cried out, unable to resist asking for more details.
This was just too sweet!
Hero saves the beauty stories, though cliché, were eternal!
There was no end to it.
Jiang Nan Fang, listening from her office, heard a troop of monkeys outside making a racket.
After enduring it for a while, she couldn’t take it anymore and went out with a stern face to reprimand them.
“From now on, anyone who says anything unrelated to work will have their salary deducted for a month.”
When Director Jiang got angry, everyone dared not misbehave.
They quickly returned to their workstations and put their heads down to work.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Hua Tai’s employee cafeteria was the same as the old one.
Although the food tasted alright, there was very little variety.
Eating the same thing day in and day out made everyone tired of it.
So now, the habit of ordering takeout had formed.
The technology department often needed to go out, so there was no strict office hour system, and no need to clock in.
When lunchtime arrived, Engineer Zhang took out his phone and asked everyone what they wanted to eat today, offering to place a group order.
He also called out to Jiang Nan Fang.
“Director Jiang, what do you want for lunch today? I’ll order for you too.”
Jiang Nan Fang had eaten too much breakfast and wasn’t hungry at noon.
Just as she was about to say she wasn’t eating, a takeout delivery person in a yellow uniform walked in with a box of food.
“Excuse me, is Ms. Jiang Nan Fang here?”
Everyone in the technology department looked at each other, and after a moment, erupted in thunderous cheers.
They all ran to Jiang Nan Fang’s office door and shouted at her.
“Lunch is here, lunch is here, Director Jiang! General Zhan is here to bring you food!”
What? After delivering breakfast, he’s sending flowers, and after flowers, he’s sending lunch?
Is Zhou Jin Bei really not going to stop?
They all looked at her, jumping up and down like they had never seen takeout before, laughing at her.
Jiang Nan Fang, unsure of what was so funny, said to the delivery person with a straight face.
“I’m not eating. Whoever ordered it, take it back. I don’t accept it.”
The delivery person looked aggrieved.
Is there such a thing?
I worked hard to run this far just to earn two yuan in delivery fees, and you’re asking me to take it back?
“Miss, don’t do this to people…”
After speaking, Jiang Nan Fang realized she had acted a bit inappropriately.
They were all workers, why make things difficult for the delivery person?
She took the items and shooed him out.
“What? You all want to try it?”
Everyone chuckled.
“It’s a lunch of love from General Zhan. Even if we wanted to try it, we don’t have the qualification. Forget it, you eat it yourself.”
Jiang Nan Fang ate the lunch.
Energized, she worked diligently until the afternoon. Once her work was done, she left on time.
Unexpectedly, when she reached the lobby downstairs, she was stopped by a staff member.
“Director Jiang, there’s a bouquet of flowers for you here. Please sign for it.”
It was a few sunflowers, very cutely packaged.
Jiang Nan Fang was truly impressed.
Fine, Zhou Jin Bei. Since you have so much money and like to play, I’ll accept it.
Let’s see how many days you can keep this up.
Miss Zhou, with her immense wealth, treated money like dirt.
For three consecutive days, the same tricks were played.
Her wallet could handle it, but Jiang Nan Fang’s composure couldn’t.
The fact that she and Zhan Bei Jue were dating was about to spread throughout Hua Tai.
It was as if the items were truly sent by him. What was this all about?
Finally, she threw the last bouquet of flowers into the trash. Jiang Nan Fang could no longer tolerate it and called Zhan Bei Jue.
“Come out. We need to talk.”
He was already surprised to receive her call, and now she wanted him to come out and talk?
Zhan Bei Jue instinctively thought of Zhou Jin Bei.
Had this little girl done something good behind his back again?
Zhan Bei Jue called her into his office.
“Confess yourself, or wait for me to ask?”
“What?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. Did you provoke Jiang Nan Fang again?”
Zhou Jin Bei suddenly realized, “She contacted you?”
“You’re one of those who won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin, don’t you learn your lesson? I…”
“Heaven and earth as my witness, I didn’t provoke her!”
Zhou Jin Bei explained her good deeds of the past three days to him.
“Now all your subordinates are definitely gossiping about her, thinking the items were sent by you, and spreading rumors about you two dating. So she’s getting anxious.”
“This is a perfect opportunity to win her over. Second Brother, go, charge! Stop being a coward and embarrassing me!”
Embarrassing you?
Zhan Bei Jue shot her a glare.
“Get out, get out, get out.”
After kicking Zhou Jin Bei out, he pondered her words.
To be honest, there was some truth to what she said.
Should he try to win her over again?
They say a determined woman can be swayed by persistent pursuit.
Perhaps by persistently pursuing her, Jiang Nan Fang would change her mind?
Although she didn’t admit it verbally, he could still feel that she had feelings for him.
With this in mind, Zhan Bei Jue truly lacked experience in pursuing someone.
And he was too proud to ask Zhou Jin Bei for help, so he could only call Lu Ming Zhe.
Lu Ming Zhe wasn't surprised to receive his call.
“Did the sun rise from the west today? What made you think of calling me all of a sudden?”
“Could it be telepathy? Did you know I was in a bad mood and had nowhere to go, so you’re inviting me to stay with you for a couple of days?”
What a coincidence! He happened to need a favor from him?
Then there was no need to even ask.
Zhan Bei Jue put on a helpful demeanor.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Lu Ming Zhe sighed.
“Don’t mention it. A few days ago, I told you my family arranged a marriage for me when I was young. That woman came looking for me.”
“Luckily, my brother ran into her at the door and stopped her. She’s at his bar now.”
“What if he hadn’t stopped her and she had gone straight home? Wouldn’t my mom and them have forced me into marriage?”
“No, until Lu Qing Xu has sent her away, I absolutely cannot go home.”
“Old Zhan, you have to show brotherly loyalty. If my mom calls you, just say you haven’t seen me.”
Normally, Zhan Bei Jue wouldn’t bother listening to such trivial matters.
But today, he found it interesting.
“Why are you so ungracious? The girl traveled a long way, all alone, to find you, and you won’t even meet her, but want to send her away?”
“Do you think she has no brains? If she can’t find you, won’t she call your mom? Won’t she ask her mom to complain to your mom?”
“Then you’ll not only be unable to escape, but you’ll also be criticized by both sets of parents. Are you tired of living?”
Lu Ming Zhe had spoken out of desperation.
Hearing his words, he immediately wailed.
“Damn it, so you’re saying that this time, besides showing my resolve by threatening to die, I can’t avoid it?”
