Chapter 148 Are You Worthy of It?
With the implementation of the Singapore Metropolis project, Nangong Jin became increasingly busy, often traveling between the two countries!
The second branch of the He family also became extremely low-key. He Mingyuan almost always avoided Nangong Jin. Since the incident at the last fund dinner, the second wife of the He family has often been sick in bed and never leaves the house!
Only He Chendong occasionally acted like a clown, running out and jumping up and down, but Nangong Jin didn't take him seriously at all!
Today is Zhao Man's first official day at work. Her outfit is very different from what she wore during the interview yesterday. She wore a light blue silk shirt with a tight A-line skirt that hugged her hips, which fully showed off her exquisite figure!
Her makeup is three parts charming and four parts fresh and refined. She looks gorgeous but not coquettish, yet not offensive. Instead, people can't help but be attracted to her. She has found the right balance!
So when He Zhiyuan went to work, he saw a group of men circling around her!
He glanced at those people with a look that showed his authority without anger, and everyone hurriedly returned to their workstations!
"Manager, good morning!"
Zhao Man quickly stood up and greeted him, not noticing the man's unpleasant look at her!
"Come in!"
He Zhiyuan opened the door, took off his coat and prepared to hang it up. At this moment, a pair of soft hands inadvertently touched his palm and took the coat!
He pursed his thin lips, said nothing, and sat straight in the office chair!
The desk was kept exceptionally tidy, with a few documents, some forms, and a cup of steaming coffee on it!
"Manager, the coffee is Italian black coffee, I don't know if it suits your taste!"
He Zhiyuan just picked up the coffee silently and drank it slowly. It seemed that this woman put in a lot of effort. Not many people knew that he liked to drink black coffee!
"Manager, I have sorted out the documents needed for today's meeting and placed them in front of you. If there are other details that need to be supplemented, I will print them out and place them next to you! Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Zhao Man spoke clearly and logically, and she stood there dignified and beautiful, a sight to behold!
He Zhiyuan suddenly put down the cup and ordered coldly: "Do you need me to personally review these reports? I prefer to listen to others read them!"
Zhao Man's pretty eyes and eyebrows suddenly turned ugly when she heard that, but she quickly walked over with a smile, picked up the document and began to read it word by word!
He Zhiyuan lowered his head to review documents, and it was unclear whether he heard anything or not. Zhao Man's voice was clear and pleasant, very pleasant to the ear!
So he would always unconsciously steal glances at her out of the corner of his eyes, and suddenly his expression turned cold because he noticed that Zhao Man was wearing a ring on her ring finger!
He then interrupted coldly: "Do you know that you can't wear jewelry during work hours?"
Zhao Man immediately covered her ring and said aggrievedly, "But I... I have read the employee rules, and there is no such item..."
Her words were immediately interrupted by He Zhiyuan: "It's set from today on, if you don't obey, resign!"
Zhao Man's eyes were red. She slowly took off the ring and held it in her hand. She choked up a little: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first! Manager!"
He Zhiyuan was still about to say something when she pushed the door open with the documents in her arms!
With an unclear expression, he looked through the floor-to-ceiling window of the office at Zhao Man who had returned to her seat. She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand!
He Zhiyuan immediately retracted his gaze and cursed in a low voice in annoyance: "That's why women are the most troublesome. Next time I see the people from the HR department, I'll scold them!"
So when they went to the meeting, Zhao Man would deliberately keep a distance from He Zhiyuan, and there was no enthusiastic smile on her face as in the morning, and if there was any, it was just perfunctory!
He Zhiyuan asked a question and she answered it, like an emotionless working machine. This made He Zhiyuan feel extremely aggrieved, because he could not find any fault with her work and could only sulk by himself!
When other people in the company saw his gloomy face, they were frightened and kept their distance from him, but Zhao Man remained calm!
Finally, when it was almost time to get off work, He Zhiyuan came out of the office and passed by Zhao Man's desk. He suddenly said, "Since the ring your boyfriend gave you is so important, wear it if you like. Don't be angry with me!"
Zhao Man looked up in surprise and replied in a low voice: "This is not a gift from my boyfriend... It doesn't matter if you don't wear it! Manager!"
He Zhiyuan suddenly felt an indescribable joy in his heart when he heard this. He looked at her with still a cold expression on his face and then left!
"You're off work and you're not leaving yet? If you want to leave, hurry up. I'll take you home on the way!"
Zhao Man lowered her eyes when she heard that, with a hint of amusement on her lips. On the way? I don't even know where my home is, what kind of road is that?
So she didn't follow her, and He Zhiyuan, who had already walked far away, realized that she didn't follow him, but he couldn't bring himself to go back and look for her!
"This woman is really..."
He Zhiyuan has always been one of the most handsome bachelors in the capital. He is only 39 years old, and as the saying goes, a man is in his prime at 41. Not only does he have a good family background, money and good looks, but his personality is not so good, which has discouraged many admirers!
In his opinion, Zhao Man's abilities in all aspects far exceeded the job she applied for. Such a waste of talent, other than the intention to get close to him, He Zhiyuan really couldn't think of any other answer!
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. He drove alone to the club he had been to last time. This was a place he often visited, so he felt that Zhao Man was intentionally approaching him!
He was seen drinking one whiskey after another as if he was risking his life. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone who looked familiar on the dance floor!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the wine glass, and walked straight towards the man!
He gently patted the man's shoulder, "Hey, let me buy you a drink and chat!"
The man was hugging and flirting with a hot woman at this moment, but was suddenly interrupted. He turned around and glared at the other person in displeasure!
After he saw who it was, he quickly took the wine glass with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. He San, nice to meet you!"
The woman next to him stared at He Zhiyuan with an infatuated look on her face. He Zhiyuan was tall and had a handsome face. Plus, he had a lot of money. Which woman wouldn't be moved!
He Zhiyuan looked at the man sitting in front of him thoughtfully, because he was really ordinary looking, he couldn't understand why Zhao Man would fall for such a man!
"Where's your last girlfriend?"
He asked casually!
"Which woman?" Then he suddenly realized: "You mean Zhao Man, she is at work and has no time to accompany me, she is a very boring person!"
"Oh? I'm actually very curious, how many women do you have?"
The man just opened up and said, "I only have one steady girlfriend, Zhao Man. If it weren't for her good figure, I would have dumped her long ago..."
Suddenly, He Zhiyuan, who was sitting opposite him, stood up, grabbed him by the collar, and punched him hard in the face!
"How dare you!!! You scumbag!"
