Jiang Zihong grew more terrified the more he thought about it, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
Just as he was feeling anxious and fearful, Zhan Qipei suddenly turned his head, glancing at him from the corner of his eye.
Zhan Qipei’s gaze always carried an innate pressure.
Being looked at like that, Jiang Zihong instantly turned pale and collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Jiang Zihong’s assistant quickly went forward to assist.
However, Jiang Zihong’s legs were shaking like a sieve, so he couldn’t stand up even with help.
The assistant, in his flustered efforts, not only failed to get Jiang Zihong up but was dragged down to the ground by him.
In a mont, both of them lay flat on their backs, creating a comically absurd scene.
The nearby staff and the general manager couldn’t help but chuckle aloud.
Qiao Jing glanced indifferently over and then said to Zhan Qipei, "Let’s go."
Zhan Qipei finally withdrew his gaze and headed to the office with Qiao Jing.
Once in the office, Zhan Qipei pondered for a few seconds before asking, "Should I have soone handle this matter?"
Qiao Jing knew that the "matter" he was referring to was about Jiang Zihong.
She shook her head and said slowly, "No need, I believe after this incident, he won’t co to bother again."
Given the cowardly display by Jiang Zihong earlier, even if he had ten tis the courage, he wouldn’t dare act up again.
No point wasting extra energy on a clown!
Since Qiao Jing said so, Zhan Qipei didn’t insist further.
He nodded, his words carrying a hint of indulgence, "Alright, I’ll do as you say, respecting your decision."
Then Zhan Qipei switched the topic, "By the way, are you hungry? Want to eat sothing first? I could have soone prepare so pastries and coffee."
Pastries? Coffee?
Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at him, "What? You brought here for an afternoon tea?"
Zhan Qipei pretended not to understand her implied aning and continued on his own, "If you don’t like pastries and coffee, just have so fruits, or whatever you want to eat, you can tell ."
Seeing him deliberately act dumb, Qiao Jing felt a bit speechless and simply said bluntly, "I’m not here for food, didn’t you say on the phone earlier you wanted to discuss the details of the previous collaboration project?"
Zhan Qipei avoided the issue, saying, "The project isn’t urgent, we’ll talk about it later."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing was even more convinced of her suspicion.
"I think you’re not here to discuss any collaboration project but used it as a reason to trick into coming, right?"
Facing Qiao Jing’s questioning, Zhan Qipei didn’t refute; he simply smiled thinly.
Clearly, that was an implicit acknowledgnt.
Qiao Jing smiled wryly, her lips twitching, finally saying, "You’re really rather idle."
This man specially called her using the guise of discussing the collaboration project just to hang out and have afternoon tea!
Being the CEO of Zhan Corporation, behaving so frivolously, is it really okay?!
After ranting silently in her heart, Qiao Jing turned to leave.
Zhan Qipei saw this and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from leaving, "You’re already here, stay and keep company for a while."
Qiao Jing struggled a few tis but couldn’t shake off Zhan Qipei’s hand, so she said, "This is your workplace, staying here isn’t appropriate; it might affect your work."
Zhan Qipei disagreed with her reasoning, imdiately arguing, "What’s inappropriate about it? With you here, I feel happy whenever I see you. When I’m in a good mood, naturally my work efficiency will greatly improve."
"So, stay and keep company, won’t you?"
The man’s tone carried a slight hint of pleading, which made Qiao Jing’s heart soften suddenly.
In fact, she was never the type who would compromise if soone tried to play charming tactics.
If she were, given the number of people who pursued her, like Wu Xirui, she would have been conquered long ago.
Because she isn’t, she could decisively refuse each ti.
But at this mont, facing Zhan Qipei’s plea, she found herself unwilling to refuse, even though the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t say them.
Seeing Qiao Jing hesitate, Zhan Qipei felt delighted inside and imdiately said, "If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes!"
Hearing this, Qiao Jing felt sowhat helpless and amused.
Truthfully, she never expected that this inherently cold-hearted man would also have such a shaless side!
In the end, Qiao Jing stayed.
Zhan Qipei sat at his desk reading docunts, while she sat on the sofa beside him, checking the latest news on her phone.
"Knock knock—"
A sudden knock on the door rang out.
Zhan Qipei looked up, glanced toward the door, and spoke softly, "Co in."
As his words ended, the office door opened, and Tang Yan walked in.
Seeing Qiao Jing also present, Tang Yan imdiately greeted respectfully, "Young Madam!"
Qiao Jing nodded at him, greeting him with simple courtesy.
Actually, being addressed as "Young Madam" she still wasn’t quite used to it.
However, she never showed it on her face, so others could hardly notice.
After greeting, Tang Yan walked to the desk and nodded to report, "President Zhan, President Lin of Lin Real Estate and Miss Lin Jianai have arrived, saying they have the prior appointnt to discuss a large real estate project."
Zhan Qipei nodded slightly, "Got it, let her in."
"Yes." Tang Yan responded respectfully and then turned to leave the office.
A mont later, the sound of high heels was heard coming from the doorway.
Shortly after, a woman in a business suit, with heavy makeup and brilliant red lips, walked in.
The woman looked very capable, clearly a strong businesswoman, except her outfit was excessively fitted, showing off her curvy figure without restraint, particularly her neckline was very low, causing her impressive cleavage to peek through.
This woman was clearly the female CEO of Lin Real Estate, Lin Jianai, as Tang Yan ntioned.
After entering the office, Lin Jianai went straight to Zhan Qipei, with her eyes glued to him, not even noticing Qiao Jing nearby.
Seeing Lin Jianai’s deanor, Qiao Jing imdiately knew she had thoughts about Zhan Qipei.
Because when looking at Zhan Qipei, Lin Jianai’s gaze clearly had a bit of a starry-eyed feel!
After reaching Zhan Qipei’s side, Lin Jianai opened the bag across her shoulder, took out a delicate small bag from inside, and smiled, "I’ve brought so snacks for you, made by personally. I know you don’t like sweets much, so I only added a little sugar; they won’t be too sweet. Try them."
While speaking, Lin Jianai handed the small bag of snacks to Zhan Qipei, while simultaneously leaning closer to him.
Zhan Qipei frowned, his voice deep, "President Lin, please respect boundaries and keep distance; my wife is here, and I don’t want her to misunderstand anything."
