Xu Yingfei was not surprised when she saw Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li appear together, and even greeted Jiang Mingzhu generously.
Xu Yingfei: "Good morning, Pearl."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Morning."
Zhou Li: "The office said."
Xu Yingfei nodded and followed Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li upstairs.
As soon as they entered the office, Xu Yingfei explained to Jiang Mingzhu: "My previous acting with Zhou Li was mutually beneficial. He is not my type, and he only has..."
"Have you made it clear to Jiang Jin?" Zhou Li interrupted Xu Yingfei's words at the right time.
When the conversation got down to business, Xu Yingfei temporarily forgot about teasing, and her expression became much more serious: "I told you last night, what about you?"
Xu Yingfei glanced at Jiang Mingzhu out of the corner of her eye, wondering if Zhou Li, with his silent temperament, would explain the whole story to Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu understood everything when she saw the look in Xu Yingfei's eyes. She took it with a smile: "I already know."
Xu Yingfei: "Sorry, the Xu family's side——"
"Why are you sorry? It's not your fault." Jiang Mingzhu said with a smile, "You two are not related by blood."
Xu Yingfei was somewhat surprised when she heard Jiang Mingzhu say this.
Although Zhou Li didn't tell her in detail about Jiang Mingzhu's situation before, judging from the fact that she committed suicide because of this incident, we can already imagine how much she cared about it.
But Jiang Mingzhu's current attitude seems to be much calmer than she imagined, and it sounds like she has given up.
Xu Yingfei looked at Zhou Li subconsciously.
Zhou Li: "I have asked the public relations department to prepare a statement."
Xu Yingfei: "I released it today. The Xu family will know it tomorrow at the latest. Xu Langqing will not let go of this opportunity to punish me."
At this point, she paused and said, "I'm going to play the loser for a while."
Zhou Li: "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Yingfei: "You are too polite. I am doing this for myself. If Xu Langqing goes in, it will be more beneficial to me."
She was very calm about this matter and did not deny her ambitions at all.
Jiang Mingzhu appreciated Xu Yingfei's attitude very much. After hearing this, she gave her a thumbs up and said, "Then let's send him in together."
Zhou Li: "When will you go back?"
Xu Yingfei: "Let's see when they contact me - by the way, I have something to trouble you."
Her expression was more serious than before, "Let Jiang Jin stay in Wanhua during this period."
Zhou Li: "Huh?"
Xu Yingfei: "Xu Langqing has always wanted to poach him, and Jiang Jin has nothing to be ashamed of. It's better for him to be here with you. Xu Langqing doesn't dare to compete with you."
Zhou Li: "Jiang Jin agrees?"
Xu Yingfei: "What can he do if he doesn't agree? I can't protect him even if I go back with me."
Zhou Li: "You go and discuss it yourself. If he agrees, I'll have no problem here."
Jiang Mingzhu listened carefully for a few minutes and probably understood what Xu Yingfei meant——
She knew that she would definitely be challenged when she went back this time, but she didn't want Jiang Jin to be involved, so she wanted him to stay alone in Beicheng.
Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with this decision.
Jiang Jin was just an assistant. Once Xu Yingfei's power fell, his subordinates would definitely be at the mercy of others.
Xu Langqing is not an upright person, and it will do no good for Jiang Jin to fall into his hands.
If Xu Langqing knew about the relationship between Xu Yingfei and Jiang Jin, it would be like giving him a clue.
However, from Jiang Jin's perspective, he may not necessarily accept this arrangement.
Xu Yingfei: "He has no choice, as long as you agree."
Zhou Li: "You are really arbitrary and self-righteous."
He rarely questions other people's choices: "Do you think you are protecting him by doing this?"
Xu Yingfei was unable to answer the question from Zhou Li.
Jiang Mingzhu stood aside, feeling uncomfortable all over. She always felt that Zhou Li was being insinuating.
Hit her connotation——
The choices Xu Yingfei makes now are indeed somewhat similar to those she made before.
But Xu Yingfei is far less extreme than her.
Xu Yingfei left first after chatting with Zhou Li.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li were the only two people left in the office.
Zhou Li didn't seem to be able to get over the emotion just now. He glanced at Jiang Mingzhu lightly and then went to work at his desk.
Jiang Mingzhu sat on the sofa alone, holding her chin and lost in thought.
Zhou Li is too difficult to deal with.
Jiang Mingzhu has little experience in love, and she doesn't quite understand how the "security" in relationships comes from.
So she began to turn to universal social software and browsed many people's experiences on it.
Someone once said: A sense of security is the confidence that you will not be kicked out no matter what you do.
If a person repeatedly commits suicide and struggles, it may be because he or she feels insecure in the relationship and wants to find his or her own position and value in this way.
As long as your partner never gives up on them, they will gain a sense of security and become an extremely considerate person.
Jiang Mingzhu seemed to understand after reading it.
So...as long as she doesn't give up on Zhou Li?
Don't you need to think of other ways to coax?
When Jiang Mingzhu touched her chin and thought about this problem, she suddenly received a message from He Chuyan on WeChat.
He Chuyan: [I saw the news. 】
The message was followed by a screenshot.
Jiang Mingzhu opened it and looked at it. It was a statement issued by Wanhua Group a few minutes ago.
The statement said Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei broke up peacefully.
He Chuyan: [How are you and Zhou Li doing now? 】
Jiang Mingzhu could feel He Chuyan's worries through her mobile phone.
I didn’t expect that she would be so busy with work and still pay attention to her movements at all times——
Jiang Mingzhu sniffed, glanced at Zhou Li, and then replied to He Chuyan: "I said I made it clear, but he hasn't agreed to be with me yet. I don't know what to do now." 】
This is the first time Jiang Mingzhu takes the initiative to consult He Chuyan about relationship issues: [Mom, how can I chase him to give him a sense of security? 】
He Chuyan: [In the face of sincerity, all means and techniques are useless. 】
Jiang Mingzhu: [Huh? 】
He Chuyan: [Just get along with him normally. If you deliberately try to be nice to him, it will only make him feel more insecure. 】
Jiang Mingzhu fell into deep thought after reading this news.
She carefully recalled the details of her previous interactions with Zhou Li, and found that this was really the case.
After thinking about it, Jiang Mingzhu sighed and replied to He Chuyan.
[It’s really hard to guess a man’s thoughts. 】
——
Lunch break time came soon.
Jiang Mingzhu glanced at the time on her phone and then looked in the direction of her desk.
Zhou Li was still working and seemed very engaged.
But Jiang Mingzhu was already a little hungry.
She originally wanted to endure it and not interrupt him, but remembering He Chuyan's reminder just now, Jiang Mingzhu decided to go find him.
Jiang Mingzhu stood up and walked to the desk, tapping her fingers on the table.
Zhou Li didn't even raise his head.
Jiang Mingzhu knocked a second time.
Zhou Li paused for a moment, but still didn't look up.
Jiang Mingzhu was a little angry: "Zhou Li! I'm hungry."
This time he finally looked up: "Liang Cong will bring lunch."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why did you ignore me just now?"
Zhou Li: "Did you call my name?"
