An Tong’s resignation wasn’t smooth, but she didn’t plan to ask Li Jing for help; she solved it on her own.
anwhile, rumors of her being a mistress kept by a rich heir were spreading rapidly throughout the company. Such gossip always piques people’s interest and spreads easily, and coupled with An Tong’s looks, it added a lot of credibility to the rumor.
An Tong didn’t have to think much to guess that this must have co from Manager Wang.
She didn’t try to explain but was constantly busy dealing with her resignation through company HR negotiations.
Though An Tong has an altruistic personality, she is not lacking in communication or work skills. Facing the usual difficulties posed by the HR departnt, she remained firm on her rights and only settled the final plan after two discussions.
anwhile, Wang Jun, who secretly likes her, gathered the courage to find her. His concern mingled with a trace of reluctance as he questioned An Tong about the reason for her resignation and the truth of the company rumors.
"Wang Jun, what you should do is strive to beco a wealthy man that won pursue, rather than express dissatisfaction with won who pursue wealthy n."
An Tong calmly looked at Wang Jun, who was originally shy, honest, and dependable, glanced at other colleagues hiding nearby, and realized that soone must have been goading Wang Jun into daring to stand in front of her for questioning.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jun’s face turned unpleasant, but he still asked unwillingly, "Is money really that important? Why must won look at a man’s financial power? Why be so realistic?"
Looking at his slightly flushed face due to emotional agitation, An Tong retorted, "If not, then what?"
"I..."
Wang Jun was montarily speechless.
And An Tong continued, "Then why do n always look at won’s appearances? Is appearance really that important? Isn’t it also because of appearance that you like ?"
"Won look at n’s financial power, n look at won’s looks and figures—neither is nobler than the other, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jun’s expression changed, realizing he couldn’t argue against what she said.
"Wang Jun, grow up and work hard to earn money."
Seeing his deanor, An Tong’s expression remained calm. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and, after saying softly, decisively turned and left.
Watching An Tong walk away, Wang Jun stood there dazed, her words resonating in his mind.
Suddenly, he realized how immature he was compared to her.
Just then, Manager Wang deliberately passed by with his departnt team, looked at the silent Wang Jun, and consoled, "Oh, Wang Jun, don’t be upset over such won. A gold digger like her won’t last long..."
Before finishing, she slightly changed her expression when she saw Wang Jun coldly staring at her, frowned, and said, "Why are you looking at like that? It’s not like I dumped you."
"Is it you who spread the rumor that An Tong is a kept mistress?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang’s expression imdiately changed, and she countered, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. Totally insane, getting dumped and venting on ?"
After speaking, Manager Wang turned to leave, only to hear Wang Jun from behind say, "Those who do injustice will eventually be destroyed. Manager Wang, you’ve wronged other won in our company before. You should live uprightly, or beware of karma."
Manager Wang was so angry she laughed, just about to retort, but saw he had already turned and left, prompting her to curse furiously, "Nutcase! I think his brain is broken, no wonder he likes won like An Tong."
After saying this, she glanced at her subordinates, finding each with different expressions, none of them responding to her words, and snapped, "What? All mute now! Am I not right?"
Seeing everyone still silent, Manager Wang flushed with anger, threw her hands up, and could only walk away briskly.
...
In the following days, An Tong was busy with the handover process and following the resignation procedures at the company.
anwhile, Li Jing and Wang Qi applied for and obtained the bidding docunts, waiting for the monthly license plate auction in Celestial Sea City.
As ti passed day by day, the atmosphere for National Day gradually ward up.
Major street junctions and squares were adorned with flowers and green sculptures, and many small national flags were added on street lamps and bridges.
This bustling and colorful Celestial Sea City added a touch of vibrant red in October.
"Tomorrow is National Day; I didn’t expect the city traffic to start increasing today."
Li Jing stood in front of the hotel’s large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking Celestial Sea City’s most popular riverside scenic spot from his view.
Seeing the once spacious riverside crowded with people, Li Jing suddenly thought he should avoid the crowd when picking his parents up tomorrow, or it would be too crowded.
As for his family’s travel plans for National Day, he had entrusted An Tong to draft them. She would send them to him later today.
Regarding high-speed rail tickets for his mother and the others, An Tong had also managed to secure them.
With An Tong as his assistant, Li Jing naturally delegated many things to her, which she handled well, putting Li Jing at ease.
Only now, the biggest problem was...
Thinking about it, Li Jing slightly turned his head to look at Zhang Xinxin, who was sitting on the sofa sowhat upset, and he couldn’t help but twitch his lips and say, "What’s wrong, still unhappy?"
Zhang Xinxin was dressed beautifully today but wasn’t happy, sitting on the sofa in Li Jing’s suite with a pout, sulking, "Brother Jing, don’t you like anymore..."
"How could that be?"
Li Jing ca over and sat next to her, smiling, "I’m not devoted, but I’m very affectionate. How could I not like you?"
"Then why did you ask An Tong to accompany you to pick up your parents and not ?"
Seeing Zhang Xinxin staring at him with her bright and slightly charming eyes, Li Jing’s smile grew stiff as he explained, "Um... I’m afraid you’ll be busy..."
"I’m not busy! I’ve already decided to spend the whole National Day with you!"
Zhang Xinxin earnestly stated, pulling his arm and pleading, "Brother Jing, let accompany you over National Day. I promise not to compete with An Tong for attention, and be well-behaved in front of auntie and uncle!"
"Cough, cough..."
Being softly rubbed up against by her proud tenderness made Li Jing’s mind wander: "Then... How will you explain your identity? I can’t just tell my parents you’re my girlfriend, right..."
"Then what’s An Tong’s identity?" Zhang Xinxin asked with hands on her hips and a pout.
"I already told my parents she’s my assistant."
"I can be too!"
Zhang Xinxin imdiately volunteered, "She’s the assistant, I’m the secretary, and the capable kind!"
With that, without waiting for Li Jing to stop her, Zhang Xinxin imdiately tackled him, starting to touch him all over.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? I haven’t restored my Primordial Energy."
"Not restored your Primordial Energy? Brother Jing, who did you give your energy to? Let see if it still recognizes ..."
...
...
In the evening, Li Jing ca out of the bathroom holding his aching waist, speaking earnestly, "Xinxin, from now on can you go easy and be less intense at once? You need to go slow..."
The whole afternoon, the living room, master bedroom, second bedroom, hallway, bathroom, all bore traces of their madness.
Li Jing was almost drained by her on the spot; it wasn’t until he agreed to her demands that Zhang Xinxin stopped her draining tactics.
This enchantress...
Her charm was too profound...
With Li Jing’s promise, Zhang Xinxin was already in high spirits, and although her legs were trembling sowhat, she held steady, letting Li Jing lie on the bed, and smugly said, "Hehe, it’s okay, Brother Jing, lie down properly, I’ll massage you and ease your waist and back to make you feel comfortable."
"Hmm, this is much better."
Just as Li Jing was enjoying Zhang Xinxin’s gentle and comfortable massage, he heard a knock on the door outside.
He was initially stunned, wondering who would seek him now, then suddenly rembered, quickly grabbed his phone, finding several ssages from An Tong, including the National Day plan she had formulated: "Damn it, I forgot I had made an appointnt with An Tong tonight to discuss this week’s plan to take my parents around!"
"An Tong outside?"
Zhang Xinxin raised an eyebrow slightly, then took a stance as if to confront soone, saying, "Brother Jing, what are you worried about? She’s the assistant, you’re the boss. Why, is she controlling her boss now?"
With that, she imdiately got up, casually wrapped herself in a layer of thin fabric, and walked over to open the door.
