Zong Jin didn't care about any romantic entanglements. Just a moment ago in the elevator, he hadn't even considered the connection between Manager Qian and his mother’s friend; he had simply responded instinctively, introducing Dao Wen as his woman.
It was only after he had said the words "girlfriend" that rational thought kicked in. Even he was surprised by his own impulsiveness. He was usually a person who thought things through carefully, yet today, his mouth had outrun his brain, and he had acted without regard for the consequences.
However, it seemed that this consequence didn't make him uncomfortable at all.
Seeing that Zong Jin didn't respond, Dao Wen shrugged it off. "Forget it, it doesn't really affect me anyway. We can meet another day."
She got into her car and waved goodbye with a casual air.
After the car drove away, Zong Jin turned to Tong Le. "I’ll send a few people to keep an eye on the bar area soon to prevent Sun Hu’s men from causing trouble."
Tong Le expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Zong Zong! I hadn’t even thought of that. I’ll let Dao Wen know."
Zong Jin replied, "No need to tell Dao Wen; just keep this between us."
He glanced at his watch. "Zeyu should be finishing up soon. You should go find him. I need to stop by the bank nearby."
Tong Le acknowledged him and Zong Jin headed towards the parking lot.
At that moment, Tong Le's phone rang—it was Dao Wen.
Standing by the roadside, Tong Le answered the call. Dao Wen said, "If you get a chance, organize a gathering. I want to treat Zong Jin to dinner to thank him for his help."
Tong Le replied, "Why not just invite him out yourself?"
Dao Wen responded, "Invite him alone? That feels a bit strange. By the way, that girl in the elevator was Lan Qingqing, right? I caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye. What’s up with her new style? That cotton and linen dress is quite odd."
Tong Le said, "I have no idea what she’s been thinking lately. But earlier in the elevator, Zong Jin called you his girlfriend; I bet Lan Qingqing will spread that gossip around in public."
Dao Wen coldly remarked, "Whatever. It doesn’t affect me anyway."
Tong Le suddenly remembered something. "By the way, where did you get that one million? Did you raise it in one night?"
Dao Wen paused for a moment, her tone filled with embarrassment. "It was Zhou Feng's parents who gave it to me. For the past few months, I've been sending them living expenses every month, but they didn’t spend a single cent—they saved it all for me. This time, they supported me with that one million."
Tong Le sighed with admiration. "Zhou Feng's parents are good people; Zhou Feng is a good person; his brother and sister are good people too. Of course, you're the best of them all. The kindness you’ve shown has been cherished and treasured by them, and now they’re helping you in your time of need."
Dao Wen sighed again. "I hope to make a fortune in the future so I can pay off my debts and start anew."
Tong Le encouraged her, "You definitely will! We will both start fresh and things will get better!"
Dao Wen smiled. "Alright then, go on with your business! I've already found someone to help you buy a house; they will purchase it on your behalf and hold it for you. Now we’re just waiting for your orders. And if Lan Qingqing dares to bully you, you must tell me—I’ll take care of her."
Tong Le felt warm inside. "Got it! My Dao Wen boss! Drive safely!"
After hanging up the phone, Tong Le walked into the Zongshi Yuantuan Building.
Hiding in the west corridor, Lan Qingqing deliberately created the illusion of a chance encounter. As Tong Le entered the lobby on the first floor, she hurriedly emerged from the corridor.
Lan Qingqing approached Tong Le with a smile. "Did you finish sending someone off? I just wrapped up my work here."
She leaned closer to Tong Le, eager to gossip. "So, Dao Wen and Dazong Zong—are they really dating? That can't be true, right? Dazong Zong has always been single; how did he suddenly get a girlfriend, and it's Dao Wen of all people? That’s such an unlikely match."
Tong Le anticipated Lan Qingqing's curiosity.
He deflected her questions, saying, "How would I know about other people's relationships? Why don't you ask Dazong Zong yourself?"
Lan Qingqing pressed on, "Aren't you and Dao Wen good friends? Is it true that Dazong Zong is really with her? What’s going on?"
Her tone was filled with urgency. She had finally found a new target, only to be interrupted before she could make her move. The person who swooped in was none other than Tong Le's good friend.
She felt frustrated; why was it never her turn? When she had a crush on Ke Wenjie, he was already with Tong Le. Now that she liked Zong Jin, he was suddenly with Tong Le's friend!
What kind of cruel twist of fate was this?
