Chapter 69: Encounter on the Road at Night

s eyes were a mixture of complexity... This scene had appeared countless times in her dreams, yet she never expected that when "dreams come true" today, the excitement she once felt would be gone.And...That day passed, Su Meng insisted, waiting for Jian Tong's illness to recover before letting her come back to work.

After recovering from her childhood illness, she seemed to return to work life as if nothing had changed.

However, these days, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any jobs.

Her immediate supervisor, Mr. Xu, would certainly not help arrange work for Jian Tong.

As for Su Meng, she naturally wouldn't disobey Shen Xiuqin's words.

Jian Tong was sitting alone in the PR department's lounge, and by the time she realized it, it was already after work hours.

"Work is finally over, oh man, I'm so exhausted. That client was really generous today," Gradually, more people filled the break room, chatting and laughing, discussing their day's achievements. Only Jian Tong sat quietly by himself, lost in thought.

She glanced up, and a woman took out a thick stack of neatly arranged bills. The thickness was at least three or five tens of thousands. Jian Tong watched the bills in that person's hand and was caught by the other party.

"Yo, Jian Tong," the person said, twisting her waist like a water snake, a playful glint in her eyes. "What Do you like this" She waved the money in her hand in front of Jian Tong's face.

"I told Jian Tong, I think you should just stop embarrassing yourself in this PR department. How long has it been since you've actually done anything"

"Jenny, don't even bother showing off your measly amount of money in front of Jian Tong. She wouldn't even bat an eye at it! Jian Tong makes big money, she doesn't care about what you have."

Then Jenny smirked: “That’s true, who can bend like that Even if there were more money, I wouldn’t want it.”

Jian Tong glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, silently stood up, took his things, and was about to walk past Jenny toward the door.

"Stop!" Jenny exclaimed in a soft voice, "Jian Tong, what do you mean"

>

"You!" Jenny glared at Jane with wide eyes, her voice trembling with anger. "I'm talking to you! You didn't even say a word before leaving. What do you mean Do you look down on me"

Hearing the baseless accusations, Jian Tong just felt a headache coming on. He explained patiently, "It's time to clock out. I'm off work."

Isn't it time to go back to the dormitory after work

"What do you mean by that"

“I…,” She had said the wrong thing again, hadn’t she Now, talking to this person who called herself Jenny, Jian Tong knew of Jenny but couldn't recall when she might have offended her. After thinking for a moment, she didn’t want to argue with anyone. With a sigh, she looked at Jenny and slowly said:

"If I have offended you in any way, I apologize." That should do it, right

When Jenny heard this, her face flushed red and white. She naturally knew that she had started trouble with Jian Tong today. She had originally thought that if Jian Tong couldn't hold back and fought with her, then she could go to Manager Xu and make a big deal out of it.

But she never expected that Jian Tong wouldn't even want to argue with her, and she wouldn't want to be involved with anyone around her. But Jian Tong's apology like this, on the contrary, exposed Jeanne's arrogance.

"Alright, you want to apologize, do you Then make it real!" Furious, Jenny raised her arm, about to strike, when a sharp voice suddenly boomed from the doorway:

"Jenny, what are you doing!"

"Manager Xu..." Jenny was stunned, but the next moment she reacted and hurriedly called out, "Manager Xu, you have to stand up for me! Jian Tong looks down on me."

"Noise, noise, all day long you just make noise! Jenny, just say it yourself, you just had a fight with Annie the other day, and now you're fighting with Jane. All day long, besides going around starting fights with people, can you do something decent!"

Manager Xu gave Jenny, who had a face full of grievance, a withering look.

If it were in the past, she wouldn't have said that. But… Xu Manager glanced at the silent and taciturn Jane Tong before him. This woman, from all angles, didn't seem like someone who would be involved with Dong Huang's mysterious big boss, if he hadn't known the inside story.

"Mr. Xu, it was her…"

"Alright, time's up, it's time to get off work." Manager Xu directly interrupted Jenny, gave her a cold glance, and warned in a cold voice: "When working at Donghuang, being obedient is the first priority. Don't cause any more trouble."

She gave Jenny one last look... She had warned her, and as for whether Jenny would listen, that was up to her.

Jian Tong sighed inwardly, took the thing, and left the dressing room.

After leaving the East Palace, she walked towards her dormitory.

The night wind was chilly, and a woman walked alone on the sidewalk, her back somewhat desolate.

A car slowly drove up from behind, keeping pace with Jian Tong.

The car window rolled down, and a magnetic male voice rose melodiously: "Ms. Jian, we meet again."

Hearing the sound, Jian Tong turned around. In the car window, a face that was as stunning as a demon appeared. His eyes flashed with captivating light under the flickering streetlights.

"Oh... it's you. Sir, please go ahead with your business."

She thought the other person was just passing by and politely greeted them. She thought that with a simple hello, the other person would leave.

She walked three or five meters forward, and the car moved alongside her at a very slow speed.

He looked over with suspicion: "Sir, is there something you need"

The man in the car pulled up his lips and smiled: “I have the honor to invite Miss Jian into the car, may I”

"No, my dorm is right up ahead." This man seemed dangerous, and instinctively, she didn't want to get too close to danger.

"What if I said I absolutely have to see Ms. Jian back to her dorm"

Jian Tong stopped walking, turned around, and faced the man in the car. "Sir, it's quitting time now," she said. Implied was that she was off work, and he wasn't her client anymore.

The man in the car chuckled softly, picked up a wallet from the passenger seat, and waved a stack of bills at Jian Tong. "Ms. Jian, consider this overtime pay, how about"

She should have refused, but… oh well, money!

Isn't what she desperately needs money

Shen Xiujin's loan, five million, to be repaid within a month... But recently, he hasn't been able to get any jobs.

And what about the rest How could she possibly save up five million dollars, enough to buy her freedom

The man in the car smiled... She really did love money.

But this is the best, he lacks everything, only this money, so much that he could never spend it all in his life.

After a long pause, Jian Tong's rough voice finally spoke, "Is there… anything I can do for you in exchange for your payment"

The man in the car's eyes flashed with surprise, then his smile deepened... It's too interesting, he loves money but doesn't want it for free

To be honest, how many women in the PR department aren't hoping to get a huge fortune for nothing

"You don't need to do anything, just sit beside me and let me walk you back to your dormitory."

Such a sweet and romantic confession, a handsome and wealthy young master speaking to a woman on the street late at night. No matter how you look at it, it's so full of emotion.

She is a woman, unmoved by heart, yet moved for a long time.

But the woman on the sidewalk buried her head, silent for a long time, as if she were pondering and considering something. The man in the car didn't urge or disturb her.

After about five minutes, the woman lifted her head and spoke in a gruff voice, slow and deliberate: "Sir, would you like me to make you a bowl of scallion oil noodles" of collapse. Yet, he still managed to stammer out, "Sir, how...how could Miss Jian be here"When mentioning the three words "Ms. Jian," the old butler's teeth almost gritted together, his cold eyes gl...
