The next day, at Tongshan Real Estate Company, Tong Le arrived early at the office. This time was different from before; employees in the lobby cast admiring glances her way. Everyone knew that Tong Le had single-handedly secured a major collaboration with Zong Shi Yan Tuan.
The news spread quickly, thanks in large part to Jiang Zhichao, who was known for his loud announcements.
As Tong Le settled into her workspace, she turned to Jiang Zhichao and said, "We have a meeting with Zong Shi Yan Tuan soon to discuss the collaboration."
Jiang Zhichao replied excitedly, "Tong Le Jie, you're still bringing me along for this project? I haven't been able to help at all!"
Tong Le reassured him, "There will be plenty of opportunities for you to assist in the future. I promised I would help you establish yourself in the company; we can support each other."
With renewed enthusiasm, Jiang Zhichao began gathering his things to accompany Tong Le.
At that moment, Amy approached them, dressed appropriately and gesturing towards Tong Le.
Tong Le stood up, and the two walked to a corner of the hallway. Amy pulled out her phone and held it up in front of Tong Le. "I didn't want to bring this up, but since I think you're a good person, I decided to tell you before I leave."
Tong Le took the phone and asked with concern, "You're leaving?"
Amy nodded. "I thought about it for a long time last night. I feel like I'm not cut out for the corporate world. I want to try live streaming and selling women's clothing or cosmetics. No matter what, I want to give it a shot."
As Tong Le looked at the photo on the screen—one that Amy had secretly taken—she saw Ke Wenjie and Lan Qingqing getting cozy in the office. Ke Wenjie was handing Lan Qingqing three stacks of cash.
Amy warned her, "Flies don’t buzz around a seamless egg. Your husband is quite unfaithful. While I did flirt with him before, if he were truly committed, he wouldn’t have chosen to betray you. He not only cheated on me but also with your best friend, Lan Qingqing."
Tong Le was not surprised by the content of the photo; it wasn’t anything new. However, she did gain some insight: Ke Wenjie had been conducting cash transactions with Lan Qingqing all along. Her previous attempts to check Ke Wenjie’s transfer records had yielded no abnormalities.
She returned the phone to Amy and said, "Thank you. I'll handle this matter."
Amy studied Tong Le's face and tentatively suggested, "You must have known all along, right? Your public targeting of me was just a way to establish your authority in front of everyone."
Tong Le smiled lightly. "You're smarter than I expected."
Amy sighed and continued, "But it's too late to say all this now; after all, I made mistakes first. Your words really opened my eyes—why should I settle for someone like Ke Wenjie? I shouldn’t depend on others for my happiness."
She chuckled bitterly. "It's ridiculous; I'm giving myself away for free while your friend is reaping all the benefits. She’s really quite clever."
Tong Le advised her gently, "No matter how clever she is, she's just taking shortcuts. Don’t follow her; forge your own path. You're beautiful and will carve out your own space in this world."
Amy looked at her with appreciation and patted Tong Le on the shoulder. "I wish you could escape the hardships of marriage soon."
With Jiang Zhichao in tow, Tong Le headed towards Zong Shi Yan Tuan. As she met with the project leader there, she couldn't help but entertain some thoughts in her mind about whether she would see Zong Zeyu today.
She didn't hold much hope, after all, it was just a matter of handling some agreements, not something that required the big boss's decision-making. However, she still felt a bit disappointed not being able to see Zong Zeyu.
While waiting in the conference room, Lan Qingqing entered with a bright smile. Tong Le immediately caught the familiar scent of Lan Qingqing's perfume, identical to the fragrance from yesterday at Tian Ling's doorstep and the scent that lingered on Ke Wenjie's suit jacket when he returned home.
Lan Qingqing greeted her enthusiastically, "You came without saying a word! Xiao Zong Zong isn't in the office today; everything is being handled by Dazong Zong. You're here to sign the contract, right?"
