Tong Le continued to work at her computer while Amy squatted beside her chair, lost in thought.
She admitted to herself that she was a woman who pursued men. She had indeed developed feelings for Ke Jie, and she knew that there was no possibility between them. For the sake of her work and future prospects, she felt that this approach might be quicker. Of course, she also held onto a sliver of hope—what if she managed to captivate Ke Jie? What if she became a wealthy wife?
In the meeting room earlier, she had hated Tong Le for playing the fool and for being so blunt with her. This was the first time someone had spoken to her like that, especially a woman. The women she usually interacted with were often cordial on the surface but spoke ill of each other behind their backs, competing against one another. Due to her personality, she had never encountered a female friend who genuinely cared for her; after all, she didn’t wish well for her female friends either.
Amy remained squatting in deep thought for a long time. Tong Le reached out to support Amy's arm and said, "You're wearing high heels; if you keep squatting like that, your legs will go numb soon."
Amy stood up, wanting to say something, but as the words formed on her lips, nothing seemed adequate to respond to Tong Le's earlier statement. That line—what a good girl you are; why demean yourself? Or did she think she only deserved men who had been used by others? Perhaps having lowered her stance for too long made her feel worthless.
Seeing Amy silent, Tong Le found it hard to harbor any resentment towards her; they were both pitiful women, both foolishly toyed with by scoundrels.
Tong Le spoke up again, "You look good in pants and in skirts. I’m not limiting you; as long as you think you look good, that’s enough. You don’t have to please anyone else; I hope you understand what I mean."
Amy nodded in agreement.
Tong Le gently pushed Amy's arm. "Go back and get back to work."
After Amy left, Jiang Zhichao approached Tong Le and whispered, "Sister Tong, with Amy and Lan Qingqing both having affairs with Ke Zong, how can you be so magnanimous?"
Tong Le smiled helplessly. The reason she could be so generous was simply because she no longer loved Ke Jie. Without love, there was no entanglement, which allowed her to see Amy and Lan Qingqing’s feelings more clearly.
Jiang Zhichao said, "Now you can rest easy; the rumors about you have spread like wildfire in the office. Everyone knows you're not someone to mess with."
Tong Le reminded him, "These rumors won't reach Ke Jie's ears, will they?"
Jiang Zhichao assured her, "Don't worry; they won't get out. None of the small groups in the office dared to add Ke Zong; no one is foolish enough to challenge their leader with gossip about romantic entanglements unless they want to lose their job."
Tong Le chuckled, "Aren't you the one who doesn't want this company to thrive?"
Jiang Zhichao shook his right index finger playfully. "I’m full of energy now! Not only do I want to work hard but also take down our enemies!"
Meanwhile, at Zong Group.
Lan Qingqing returned to the office but still saw no sign of Wu Youyou. She hadn’t received any news from Wu Youyou all day; whether she would come or not remained unspoken. Now she felt like a spare part at work, unsure of what she should be doing and waiting for Wu Youyou to assign her tasks.
In the office lobby, she sat idly, occasionally receiving drinks or fruit from colleagues passing by. What used to be gestures of indifference had now turned into acts of charity directed at her.
Lan Qingqing was acutely aware that her carefully crafted image as a white-collar beauty had crumbled. The facade she had built was shattered by a few messages from Wu Youyou, leaving her feeling exposed and vulnerable.
She felt a deep sense of bitterness; every day was a struggle, and all she could do was endure. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Ke Jie. He had forgotten to mention that she should come to his company less often; it wouldn’t look good if others saw her there, especially now that she was working at Tong Le Company.
The more she read, the angrier she became. Why should she be the one to hide? Just because she worked at Tong Le Company, did that mean she couldn’t meet Ke Jie? It was absurd!
She wanted to unleash her frustration on Ke Jie, but as she typed out her thoughts, she deleted each word one by one. She simply didn’t have the courage. Memories of Tong Le’s words echoed in her mind—Tongshan Real Estate was thriving, and Ke Jie was becoming wealthier by the day. She still needed him for her future; she couldn’t afford to act recklessly.
With a simple reply of "Got it," she turned off her phone and rested her head on her desk, feeling overwhelmed.
Suddenly, she straightened up. She couldn’t just sit back and let Wu Youyou manipulate her. Wu Youyou had Zong Jin backing her up, someone she couldn’t afford to provoke. But did that mean she couldn’t see Ke Jie just because of her job at Tong Le Company?
Moreover, what was wrong with Tong Le? Why had he decided to work there? Not only did he take the job, but he also aimed to create impressive projects and compete with the company?
She was scared—scared that Tong Le would surpass her, scared that one day he would become so exceptional that she wouldn’t be able to hold onto Ke Jie’s heart any longer.
Glancing at the time, she quickly gathered her things. She needed to visit Tong Le’s home and speak with Zhang Huizhi. She had to find a way to sabotage Tong Le’s job!
