Tong Le sighed quietly, feeling that she always had to trouble Zong Zeyu.
Wu Youyou smirked, "He would love it if you bothered him every day!"
Ten minutes later, Tong Le made her way to Zong Zeyu's office alone. The secretary opened the door for her, and inside, Zong Zeyu was engaged in conversation with several senior executives.
Seeing people in the office, Tong Le turned to leave, but Zong Zeyu called out loudly, "Wait on the sofa for me; there are some snacks on the table."
Tong Le stiffened and reluctantly sat down on the sofa.
Twenty minutes later, the senior executives gradually left the office, leaving only Tong Le and Zong Zeyu. She finally relaxed and grabbed a pastry from the plate, but ended up choking on it.
In a panic, she waved at Zong Zeyu. He turned and handed her a glass of water.
Tong Le's face turned red from choking as Zong Zeyu chuckled, "Why do you still act like a child? Eating something like this without having water ready?"
Tong Le patted her chest, her eyes glazed over from the choking; that pastry was too dense!
Zong Zeyu sat down across from her, picked up a fork and spoon, and carefully cut the large piece of pastry into smaller bites. While doing so, he asked, "Did you come here today because you missed me? You never come to my office no matter how I call you."
Tong Le got straight to the point without hesitation. "I need your help with something. Can you arrange for Zhou Ting to join Zong Group? Just find her a position that fits; she doesn't have much social experience and needs some training."
Zong Zeyu paused, unable to recall who Zhou Ting was at first.
Tong Le explained, "She's Zhou Feng's younger sister—the one who is Dao Wen's ex-boyfriend. Remember? Her brother is Zhou Zishuo—the one who helped me trick Zhang Huizhi."
Zong Zeyu finally remembered them as siblings.
Tong Le continued cautiously, "Is that okay? Zhou Ting wants to work at Zong Group. She has potential; she just needs to get out of her school mindset."
Zong Zeyu replied casually, "Sure, arranging a position is easy. Besides, if you're asking for something, how could I refuse? But I have one condition: you have to have dinner with me tonight."
Tong Le thought for a moment and replied, "Then we can only go to a less crowded restaurant; I don't want people at the company gossiping about you."
Zong Zeyu smiled slightly. "That’s not up to you; I’ll choose the restaurant. If not, then Zhou Ting can forget about it."
Taking a deep breath, Tong Le knew she had no choice but to agree since she wanted to help Zhou Ting. She nodded vigorously!
Zong Zeyu looked at Tong Le's adorable appearance and smiled, saying, "You look so grumpy, as if I forced you to do something terrible."
Tong Le suddenly remembered, "Oh right, your mother told me about that piece of property. It’s tied to the betrothal gifts."
Zong Zeyu felt a twinge of unease.
Tong Le continued, "So that property doesn’t actually belong to me; I can’t accept it." She sighed in relief, "Thank goodness I didn’t force you to transfer that property to my name, or I would have turned into a thief."
Hearing this, Zong Zeyu's expression darkened. "Why not? Are you afraid that if you take that property, you’ll have to marry me? Do you find me that repulsive?"
The atmosphere grew tense.
Tong Le struggled to find the right words. Her thoughts were simple; she just felt that childhood betrothal promises no longer counted. She wondered what right she had to accept such a gift. She believed she wasn’t qualified and had no reason to take it.
But Zong Zeyu was serious about it. He always wanted to treat Tong Le well, yet time and again, she kept him at arm's length. They had previously agreed to find an appropriate opportunity to transfer the property into her name, but now Tong Le suddenly said she didn’t want it.
Zong Zeyu’s expression turned somewhat sorrowful, and Tong Le felt sad for him too.
Tong Le hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I meant! I just can’t take something for nothing, you know? The betrothal is too ridiculous. Since it was a gift and I didn’t end up marrying you, I definitely can’t accept it. Do you understand?"
Tong Le felt anxious. When she usually complained about Ke Jie and Zhang Huizhi, she could articulate her thoughts clearly, but now her tongue felt tied!
She was worried; she couldn’t just take everything from him! She wasn’t that shameless! She was already living in his house and relying on his connections. He had taken care of her life and work; she couldn’t be greedy and take away his multi-million dollar property too! Even a con artist wouldn’t be that shameless!
After spilling out this long string of thoughts, Tong Le’s face turned red.
Zong Zeyu remained expressionless. He could accept Tong Le’s explanation, but he couldn’t convince his heart.
He bluntly asked, "Do you have any feelings for me at all?"
For the first time, Tong Le found it incredibly difficult to answer a question, but she had to respond!
Lowering her head, biting her lip, she finally managed to force out one word through clenched teeth: "Yes!"
