Chapter 438: The Art of Provocation - Part 2
The two communicated while walking inside.
Tao Tian was wearing a hip-hugging long skirt. Her figure, standing next to Jiang Xinyi, was slightly more impressive. She was the chief secretary in the company, and her way of handling things was quite skillful. When she saw Jiang Xinyi approaching, she stood up with a smile and called out, "Mr. Jiang, you're here?"
"What did you call me?" Jiang Xinyi was somewhat unaccustomed to being called Mr. Jiang.
Tao Tian smiled and said, "Your position in the company is Chief Financial Officer, what should I be calling you if not Mr. Jiang?"
It was the first time someone called her Mr. Jiang.
This title...
Was quite subtle.
Jiang Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
Tao Tian, however, said, "By the way, do you know where your office is? Shall I show you?"
"No need."
Jiang Xinyi told Tao Tian that she had been there before.
Then she headed towards the office.
The offices of the directors were separate, divided by partitions, but the windows were quite large.
After entering, Jiang Xinyi opened the curtains, indicating that she was straightforward and had nothing to hide.
The company had expanded, but there were few people she could rely on.
Actually, Jiang Xinyi quite liked Tao Tian, but unfortunately, Tao Tian's status was unclear now. Jiang Xinyi didn't want to have a ticking time bomb beside her.
Tang Xinrou, though, was on her side.
So Jiang Xinyi sat there and asked Tang to tell her about recent events in the company.
Tang Xinrou briefly recounted, including the profitability of various subsidiaries and Su Qing's departure from the company, handing the planning department over to Chen Wan, the president of their school's student council.
She was quite capable at handling tasks too.
"Su Qing left? What does that mean?" Jiang Xinyi was a bit shocked to hear this news.
"Why? Didn't you know, sis? Su Qing seems to be going abroad for studies."
Jiang Xinyi was stunned for a moment; she truly wasn't aware of this news.
It was quite surprising.
The two talked in the office for over an hour.
Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin continued working out in the gym, starting with running, followed by spinning.
The clothes they wore, yoga pants, truly presented a pleasing sight.
Lu Lin suggested, maybe we should leave first.
Zheng Yanyan wondered what was there to leave for.
"This isn't her company anyway, I'm exercising in my husband's own company, why should I be afraid of her?" Zheng Yanyan used the towel around her neck to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
When Zheng Yanyan looked up at Jiang Xinyi, Jiang Xinyi also noticed her.
Their gazes met.
Jiang Xinyi's look was actually okay, but Zheng Yanyan's gaze was somewhat provocative.
This made Jiang Xinyi quite upset, Zhou Yuwen's two ex-girlfriends, now that Su Qing has left, Zheng Yanyan kept hovering in front of her.
She could choose not to care.
But what does that look mean?
After working out, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin went to the shower room behind, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes, chatting and laughing as they walked out.
By this time, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin were planning to leave, carrying black gym bags in their hands.
And coincidentally, Jiang Xinyi was talking to Chen Wan and Tao Tian, seemingly discussing the future of the company.
Seeing the two pass by, Jiang Xinyi casually said that the company was not the same as before, that in the future it will gradually get on track, and that people who are idle shouldn't be roaming around the company aimlessly.
Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin were about to leave, Zheng Yanyan's eyebrows immediately furrowed upon hearing this.
She turned around, wanting to argue with Jiang Xinyi.
Lu Lin tried to pull her back but failed.
Zheng Yanyan directly went over and asked, "Let me ask you, who are you talking about!"
Jiang Xinyi just glanced at her and said, "I wasn't talking about you, I was holding a meeting with them, don't overthink, I know you're also an artist in the company, it's fine for you to come exercise here."
Jiang Xinyi, compared to Zheng Yanyan, was a bit more tactful.
Zheng Yanyan hit a pillow with a punch, feeling very stifled, staring angrily at her, yet unable to speak.
Jiang Xinyi asked Zheng Yanyan if she had any other issues.
"If there's nothing else, you can go back first, I still need to continue the meeting with them," Jiang Xinyi said.
Lu Lin, behind, felt quite helpless, at that time wanting to pull Zheng Yanyan away.
Zheng Yanyan was still too impulsive.
At this moment, Lu Lin came to Zheng Yanyan's side and tugged at her hand, saying let's go.
Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but have a slight smile at the corner of her mouth at this time.
She felt this was exactly the pace it should be.
She held the most important position.
Zhou Yuwen should know who could actually help him.
Zheng Yanyan glanced and realized she couldn't out-talk Jiang Xinyi.
She couldn't help but let out a soft humph.
"Humph, forget it, there's no need for me to argue with an old virgin!"
After speaking, Zheng Yanyan turned around to leave.
"Tch!"
This remark was really too hurtful, and Tang Xinrou was the first to laugh, while Chen Wan, Qu Jing, and Tao Tian all had strange expressions.
This comment was, in essence, an insult and revealing someone's shortcoming.
Jiang Xinyi was only 25, strictly speaking, not an old virgin.
But yesterday, she wasn't touched by Zhou Yuwen, and yesterday Zheng Yanyan was a witness, so Zheng Yanyan said this with a smug face.
Jiang Xinyi's face turned alternately pale and red.
"Stop!" Jiang Xinyi called after Zheng Yanyan.
Zheng Yanyan said, "What? Is there something you want to say?"
"Who were you talking about!"
Zheng Yanyan laughed and said, "I didn't mention you, why are you so agitated? Among everyone here, it's definitely not you, after all, you've had two boyfriends, but I've only had Zhou Yuwen."
Jiang Xinyi's face turned even uglier, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I did have two boyfriends, but I kept everything very proper, I didn't do anything untoward, I'm not that kind of loose woman."
"Yeah, and that's exactly why Zhou Yuwen broke up with you."
"You!"
This remark choked Jiang Xinyi, but Zheng Yanyan smugly continued, "But it doesn't matter, you're not loose, well, I am. Next time Zhou Yuwen needs something, he can come find me, I'm always open to Zhou Yuwen."
"..."
The others listening felt awkward.
Jiang Xinyi gritted her teeth as she listened.
Finally, she lowered her voice and said, "Shameless."
Zheng Yanyan said, shameless is still better than being an old virgin.
"You've dated two boyfriends and are still a virgin, who would believe that if you told them? It's laughable, no wonder Zhou Yuwen broke up with you."
"I've already gotten back together with Zhou Yuwen!"
"Oh, even if you made up, you'll break up again. You won't even let Zhou Yuwen touch you. No, Zhou Yuwen doesn't even want to touch you. Last night, you got drunk and offered yourself, and then? And then Zhou Yuwen left with Linlin and me, didn't even stay with you, you know why that is?"
Jiang Xinyi moved her lips, she genuinely wanted to know.
Zheng Yanyan told Jiang Xinyi, that's because Zhou Yuwen doesn't like you!
"When Zhou Yuwen was dating me, he couldn't wait to ride me eight times a day, with you, huh?"
Jiang Xinyi's face suddenly turned red and warm.
Lu Lin, who was originally trying to pull Zheng Yanyan away, was also speechless after hearing this and couldn't help but tug Zheng Yanyan, chuckling as well.
The others all had different expressions.
But Zheng Yanyan kept talking, even asking everyone to judge.
After all, basically everyone present was a woman of Zhou Yuwen, so Zheng Yanyan wasn't embarrassed at all, she said, how could there be a situation where a man and a woman are dating, and the guy isn't interested in the girl.
"There's only one possibility, the guy doesn't like the girl."
"Then why would a guy be with a girl he doesn't like?"
"Obviously because of other things."
"Like, the girl's family using power to bully."
"The family pressuring to date."
"If they don't date, they throw money around."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
Zheng Yanyan snorted out her inner discontent, referring to the matter of Liu Jing asking Su Qing to throw money around, it was indeed quite disgraceful.
"You're full of crap!" Jiang Xinyi was so angry her teeth clenched, she said angrily, "How do you know Zhou Yuwen doesn't like me?"
Zheng Yanyan asked, "Do you still need proof for this?"
"Aren't you clear in your own heart?"
