Jiang Zhichao looked at Tong Le in confusion, feeling stifled and unable to speak. It was the first time someone had left him speechless.
Tong Le stared blankly at the computer screen for a moment, deep in thought. She took out her phone and sent a message to Lan Qingqing: "Are you busy right now? I need to vent about something; I'm feeling really down."
Lan Qingqing replied immediately, "Not busy at the moment. That annoying person who keeps bothering me isn't in the office right now, so I don't have much to do. What's up, Lele? Did something upset you?"
Tong Le replied, "I started working at my family's company, but just now I heard some really distressing news. I heard someone say that Ke Wenjie is involved with a woman named Amy in the office."
Lan Qingqing responded, "Involved? What do you mean?"
Tong Le stated plainly, "They slept together. But I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know who to talk to about it. I really don't think Ke Wenjie is that kind of person, but Amy is definitely targeting me everywhere in the office."
Lan Qingqing said, "I'll come by the office later and check out this Amy for myself."
Tong Le added, "I feel so helpless right now, and I didn't have time to eat anything this morning. Lan Qingqing, I really want to have that rib soup you made before."
Lan Qingqing replied, "No problem! I'll go home and make you some soup first, then I'll come to the office in the afternoon."
Tong Le smiled slightly as she looked at the chat interface. Initially, she had no intention of dealing with the situation between Ke Wenjie and Amy. Even if she confronted him directly, Ke Wenjie’s stubborn nature meant he would never admit to anything.
Instead, she thought it might be more interesting to share this news with Lan Qingqing and see her reaction. As for that bowl of rib soup from the little restaurant, it served a different purpose.
At that moment, Ke Wenjie called out Tong Le's name from his office.
Tong Le hurried into the office where Ke Wenjie was rubbing his tired eyes after taking off his glasses.
He looked up and said, "I just submitted a pretty good project proposal to the person in charge at Zong Group. Let's see if it gets approved."
Tong Le asked, "Did you look at mine?"
Ke Wenjie replied dismissively, "Your experience and qualifications are too shallow; it's best if you don't get involved this time. It definitely won't pass."
Tong Le pressed on, "So you haven't looked at it?"
Ke Wenjie stood up to change into a new shirt that Tong Le had brought him that morning. "I haven't seen it yet. Just consider this a practice run; you'll have better opportunities in the future."
Tong Le guessed this would be his response; frankly speaking, Ke Wenjie just didn't want her to shine.
With a flash of determination in her eyes, she feigned annoyance and said, "Do you know what people are saying about you outside?"
Ke Wenjie took off his shirt and replied casually, "Hmm?"
Tong Le continued, "Some people are saying that you and Amy from the office are sleeping together."
In an instant, Ke Wenjie paused momentarily while fastening his buttons. His expression remained unchanged as he quickly responded, "What nonsense! As a married man, how could I possibly engage in such behavior? Amy just dresses too provocatively and draws unnecessary attention. Those are merely rumors; you shouldn't believe them."
Tong Le feigned disbelief, "Oh really? I don't buy it. We’ve known Seven Years long enough for me to know your character. But just so you know, I just vented about this to Lan Qingqing. You don’t mind, do you? I was feeling so frustrated and didn’t know who else to talk to."
Ke Wenjie maintained his calm demeanor. "It's fine. If you're feeling uneasy, it's normal to vent to a close friend. Just remember, you should trust me unconditionally; you know what kind of person I am better than anyone."
Tong Le nodded vigorously. "Right! By the way, Lan Qingqing said she would come by the office soon and bring me some pork rib soup. Is it okay if I share it with Amy? It could be a way to make up for misunderstanding her."
Ke Wenjie nodded in agreement. "Sure, it's good to maintain a good relationship with her. Just don’t overthink things."
At Zong Group, Lan Qingqing sat at her desk, ready to make her exit. She felt like a drifter, belonging to no department or leader except Wu Youyou.
She pondered that since she needed to take leave from the company, she should report to Wu Youyou. However, she really didn’t want to face Wu Youyou’s insufferable face.
After some thought, she realized that since Wu Youyou wasn’t in the office, she should go find President Zong Jin! After all, he was the only one in the entire company who dared to manage Wu Youyou.
Lan Qingqing’s mind began to wander into fanciful thoughts; she even convinced herself that she could consider herself an exclusive employee of Zong Jin!
With this thought in mind, she immediately stood up and headed for Zong Jin’s office.
Just as she was about to reach the office door, she took a moment to adjust her outfit. She had heard that Zong Jin was a golden bachelor; if she could establish a relationship with a man of his status and position, her life would be set!
The more she thought about it, the more enticing it seemed until she was stopped by the Male Secretary outside the office.
The Male Secretary said, "Dazong Zong isn’t here. Do you have something you need?"
Lan Qingqing replied, "I need to take leave for a bit. Since Wu Youyou isn’t in the office, I thought I’d come directly to Dazong Zong."
The Male Secretary responded, "If your supervisor isn’t here, why not just message your direct supervisor?"
Lan Qingqing felt awkward; she thought this Male Secretary was being quite inflexible!
At that moment, Zong Jin's figure appeared at the end of the hallway—tall and gentlemanly, exuding an air of success.
Seeing Zong Jin approach, Lan Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward, her voice softening as she said, "Zong Zong, I’d like to request leave from the company for a while. Since Wu Youyou isn’t here right now, I wanted to ask you personally."
Zong Jin looked at Lan Qingqing and struggled to recall her indistinct face. After a moment of contemplation, he finally remembered who she was.
He spoke up, "Wu Youyou is out meeting friends. If you don’t have any work on your plate right now, just go take care of your own matters."
Zong Jin continued walking forward while Lan Qingqing followed closely behind and tried to ingratiate herself by saying, "Zong Zong, since Wu Youyou isn’t here at the moment, if there’s anything you need me to do..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the office door slammed shut with a loud bang, leaving no opportunity for Lan Qingqing at all.
