Zong Jin accompanied Wen out of the office, where Tong Le was waiting in the corridor.
Seeing the two emerge, Tong Le remarked in surprise, "You finished so quickly?"
Wen smiled and replied, "It was just about returning money. What else is there to discuss?"
At that moment, Tong Le thought to himself that it wouldn't be too bad if these two were to date. The three of them headed towards the elevator, and Tong Le turned to Zong Jin, saying, "I can take Wen down by myself."
Zong Jin insisted, "I don’t have much going on right now; let’s go together."
As the elevator doors opened, they were met by Lan Qingqing, who looked quite dejected. She had just gone through the floor below, greeting every employee with apologies; she felt utterly embarrassed and wanted to return to her desk for a break and some water. However, upon seeing Tong Le, Zong Jin, and the well-known Wen outside the elevator, she quickly changed her mind.
Tong Le called out to Lan Qingqing inside the elevator, "What a coincidence! Are you getting off?"
Lan Qingqing hurriedly waved her hand and pressed the open button. "I’m not getting off; which floor are you all going to?"
"We're going to the first floor," Tong Le replied.
"Great! I'm heading to the first floor too," Lan Qingqing said as she joined them.
The four stood in the elevator together. Lan Qingqing glanced at Wen's tall figure; she was slender and alluring. Having heard of Wen's reputation before and having met her a few times with Tong Le, Lan Qingqing had never actually spoken to her. In her mind, she recalled that Wen was a bar owner and couldn't help but wonder what kind of significant business a bar owner could have that would bring them into contact with Zong Jin. She truly found it hard to connect these two individuals in her mind.
The elevator was silent until it stopped at the third floor. The doors opened to reveal Manager Qian from the corporate department.
Manager Qian had been with the company since Zong Jin's father's generation and was a long-time employee of Si Li. He exchanged greetings with Zong Jin and casually asked, "How has your mother been lately?"
"She’s busy with her flowers and fish—keeping herself occupied," Zong Jin replied.
Manager Qian smiled as he noticed Wen and Tong Le standing behind Zong Jin. If they had been ordinary-looking women, it would have been fine; however, both Wen and Tong Le were exceptionally attractive, immediately capturing Manager Qian's attention. In contrast, Lan Qingqing, who was standing in the corner pressing the elevator button, seemed rather dull by comparison.
Curious, Manager Qian asked, "Are these two friends of yours, Zong Jin?"
Zong Jin glanced back at Wen with a hint of pride in his eyes.
He replied, "The one behind me is Tong Le from Tongshan Real Estate; she's a friend of Zeyu and a partner of our company. This lady beside me is Wen—she’s my girlfriend."
The words "girlfriend" slipped effortlessly from Zong Jin's lips, sounding casual and light. However, everyone in the elevator, including Wen, was taken aback by his declaration.
Wen struggled to suppress her emotions and expressions, even though a storm was brewing inside her. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Manager Qian stepped out first, not forgetting to compliment them as he left. "A perfect match! Your mother must be very pleased!"
Zong Jin and Tong Le followed Manager Qian out of the elevator. Wen wanted to turn around and question them, but considering the presence of others nearby, she held back her urge to ask.
Tong Le stifled a laugh as he trailed behind the two. Meanwhile, the elevator attendant, Lan Qingqing, walked out with a bewildered expression, pretending to be busy as she headed straight for the west corridor.
Tong Le followed Zong Jin and Wen out of the corporate building, where the three of them stood beside Wen's car. Just as Wen was about to speak, Zong Jin explained, "Manager Qian is a good friend of my mother’s. Since we’re pretending to be in a relationship, we can’t let it slip. My mother is convinced that we’re going to get married."
Wen pondered this for a moment and expressed her concerns. "I'm worried that news of Zong Boss's romantic involvement will spread through Si Li and become uncontrollable. Moreover, making our relationship public in front of employees like this could inadvertently block Zong Boss's chances with other potential partners."
