Jing Luozhou’s hand was suddenly empty. He glanced at his elder brother holding the envelope and instinctively felt he should say less, or he might not even know how he’d ended up dead.
He straightforwardly propped his hands on the desk, looking up at the man seated with a solemn expression behind the desk: "What exactly is your relationship with Shi Su? You’ve stayed at her house for so long, suddenly ca back, does she know? After my in-depth analysis, I always felt sothing was off. That day she ntioned ’Jihan’... Is it what I think it ans? Does she know you’re Jing Jihan? Is she my future sister-in-law?"
Jing Jihan’s indifferent expression remained unchanged, as if finally giving Luozhou a proper look after being tailed by him all the way here.
"Don’t want to be bound by the financial world?" Jing Jihan spoke unhurriedly.
Jing Luozhou imdiately stood up straight by the desk: "Back then, I braved through the old man’s cane, either to beco a professional racer..."
Seeing the faint coldness in Jing Jihan’s eyes, Jing Luozhou quickly changed his tone: "Or, I’ll stick to being in the dical field. So in case in the future, if you end up like before, working late nights with irregular als leading to severe gastric bleeding, I’ll personally operate on you!"
Jing Jihan looked at him expressionlessly.
Jing Luozhou pleaded earnestly: "Bro, I really am not cut out for the business world. The old man is stubborn and lacks empathy, please be kind and spare ..."
"It’s not impossible," Jing Jihan said slowly. "There’s a condition."
"What condition? As long as I can do it, I’d absolutely give my all for you, dear brother!" It was rare for Jing Luozhou to hear a little concession, and he was extrely excited.
"The drama ’Yao Platform’, your company is the main investor and Shi Su is participating in this drama." Jing Jihan casually put the envelope back on the desk.
Jing Luozhou’s handso brows instantly arched: "What a coincidence? Seems like my future sister-in-law is under my command..."
eting Jing Jihan’s gaze again, Jing Luozhou’s expression instantly beca more formal, his tone gradually serious: "I rember this drama, I almost went to its opening ceremony, the project leader even specially ntioned the drama to , saying the filming went smoothly, the special effects team kept up with the progress, post-production won’t take long. If it passes the approval fast enough, it could air after the Spring Festival, and now it’s just about half a year from that ti."
He paused, suddenly laughed while propping himself on the desk again: "Is it that you’ve unilaterally fallen for Shi Su? I personally witnessed that the look in your eyes when you gaze at her is absolutely not sothing you can fake. What’s the situation between you two? Did you know each other before? Or did you et her after your accident? But that’s not the point. The point is what feelings do you have for her? Do you want her to appear in front of you every mont? Do you love seeing her smile? Do your heart race and hormones surge uncontrollably whenever you see her, unable to restrain yourself, imagining romantic scenes with her, wanting to hug her, kiss her, to possess her?"
Jing Luozhou suddenly said aningfully, his speech slowed and softened: "Do you want to have... intimate conversations, fully own her?"
Jing Jihan didn’t deny it, watching Jing Luozhou with eyes akin to a beast, he said expressionlessly: "I suddenly realize your observation skills are quite good, stay in the business world and nurture them well, you might beco a rare talent."
"Ah no no no!" Jing Luozhou hurriedly put on a serious face: "We agreed I’ll watch over Shi Su for you during this half-year, and once the ti cos you let go! The great dical field needs , can’t afford to lose !"
Jing Jihan, too lazy to look at him anymore, took the paper docunts on the desk.
Jing Luozhou once again firmly propped his hands on the desk: "But at least you’ve got to give a clue, should I treat her like a future sister-in-law or just soone you’re temporarily interested in and casually coax? I need a bottom line, right? Are you seriously in love with Shi Su?"
Jing Jihan, about to open the docunt, paused for a mont, his gaze landed on the cover page, thoughtfully contemplating for a while, then spoke calmly: "Have I ever been casual?"
Jing Luozhou instantly had a knowing look, then with a smile that seed to tease, said: "She’s under my command, aren’t you afraid I’ll manage to take her away?"
Jing Jihan opened the docunt coldly: "You need the ability to take her away first."
...
After Jing Luozhou left the office, Jing Jihan looked at the envelope on the desk and was silent for a while.
Zhou He knocked again later, bringing in so docunts, and as he went over, he t Jing Jihan’s sudden gaze. He halted instinctively, thinking he might have made a work-related mistake, his face reflecting a mont of anxiety.
Jing Jihan didn’t notice Zhou He’s slightly startled expression and asked him: "If a man thinks a woman has a unique charm, and no matter what side of her he sees, it grabs his attention, is it because he really likes her?"
Zhou He and Lu Zhao are different; Zhou He doesn’t deal much with Mr. Jing’s personal matters. He’s a diligent worker who’s always thinking about work and just ca in thinking about the report summary he needs to perfect later. Startled by the question, standing there with a large stack of docunts, it took him a few seconds to react.
Looking again at Jing Jihan’s gaze, Zhou He cleared his throat, tried to figure out Mr. Jing’s question but couldn’t understand why Mr. Jing suddenly posed such a personal question. Usually, Mr. Jing is so serious and aloof, rarely ntioning non-work-related things at the company. Is he facing so kind of emotional dilemma?
Wait!
Mr. Jing? Emotion? Dilemma?
Zhou He quickly realized, just about to respond, but Jing Jihan had already withdrawn his gaze before Zhou He could open his mouth and said: "I was just asking, no need to answer, leave the papers."
Zhou He: "..."
Jing Jihan: "You may leave."
Zhou He put down the stack of docunts, turned to leave, but had lingering thoughts in his mind.
The boss is actually preoccupied with thoughts of a woman one day.
The luxurious automatic doors of the CEO’s office open and close as Zhou He exits.
Jing Jihan picked up the envelope on the desk; inside, apart from things Shi Su returned, there weren’t any extra words, the envelope was clean.
He pondered for a mont, threw down the envelope, took out his phone to send a WeChat ssage to Shi Su: [What ti are you coming ho tonight?]
