Receiving a message from Hou Yi, Lan Qingqing felt a wave of surprise. She had thought that once Hou Yi left the company, he would no longer pay her any attention, especially since Wu Youyou had already exposed her pregnancy in front of him. Yet, here he was, sending her an invitation. The feeling was subtle, as if he understood the dangerous nature of their relationship but still chose to proceed recklessly.
Lan Qingqing couldn’t help but feel a bit flattered. Could it be that she truly possessed such charm? She picked up the small mirror on her desk and admired herself repeatedly. Recently, she hadn’t been keeping up with her skincare routine, and her foundation was starting to look uneven. Before her date with Hou Yi, she needed to hydrate her skin!
However, tonight's date was out of the question; it would have to wait until another day. Throughout the day, Lan Qingqing buried herself in the tasks assigned by Wu Youyou, only to find that the workload kept increasing. Suddenly struck by inspiration, she sent a message to Tong Le and Tian Ling, calling for reinforcements.
In their WeChat group, Tong Le didn’t refuse, and when Tian Ling saw Tong Le’s agreement, she also consented. Soon enough, Tong Le drove to Tian Ling’s company to pick her up so they could head to Zong Group together.
As they drove along, Tian Ling in the passenger seat asked curiously, “Why didn’t you refuse her? She can’t finish her own work and expects us to help her out. She really dares to ask!”
Tong Le smiled slightly. The reason she agreed to help Lan Qingqing was twofold: first, she genuinely didn’t want to be caught in a staring contest with Si Li and Ke Wenjie. Ke Wenjie frequently barged into her office for trivial matters—more often than even his own secretary—and it had become quite tiresome for her. Second, there was someone at Zong Group who always lingered in her thoughts; even if they didn’t meet at work, just being in the same building brought her an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Seeing Tong Le smile without explanation made Tian Ling press further. “Hey! What are you smiling about? Also, you mentioned needing my mom’s help last time; I haven’t heard you bring it up again. My mom is going back home next Saturday—better hurry!”
Tong Le focused on the steering wheel and replied, “I’ll come over to your place soon to discuss this with you and your mom in detail. By the day after tomorrow, the payment for my house will likely be transferred into Ke Wenjie’s account. He will definitely pass that money on to Zhang Huizhi. At that point, I’ll need your mom’s assistance to get that money out.”
Tian Ling grew anxious. “How much are we talking about? This doesn’t sound like fraud, does it?”
“Don’t worry,” Tong Le reassured her. “It’s all legal and above board. I estimate that for the house payment of ten million, Ke Wenjie will initially transfer four million to Zhang Huizhi—but that could change; I’ll have to check later.”
Suddenly remembering something, Tong Le asked, “Don’t you usually not work in the afternoons? You just left like that?”
Tian Ling explained, “I handle most of my work online. My boss is pretty lenient with me; there aren’t strict requirements for being at the office all day. I’ve been free lately; just yesterday I went to the hospital to see Fan Qinghua and asked him to schedule a comprehensive check-up for my mom. But he seemed reluctant and told me to choose the examination items from a group purchase.”
Tong Le teased her lightly. “Are you interested in Fan Qinghua? He’s quite impressive and talented; he has his eyes set on Sister Wen though. I don’t think you’re really his type.”
Tian Ling blushed slightly as she opened the small mirror in front of her seat and examined herself with a hint of insecurity. “Compared to Sister Wen, I’m way off—just in terms of figure and looks alone, she’s already ahead at the starting line.”
Tong Le pondered for a moment before saying, “If you really want to be with Doctor Fan, there’s still a chance! Once Sister Wen gets a boyfriend, Doctor Fan will likely give up hope. At that point, you can swoop in and win him over!”
