Chapter 73 -73: Strange Colleagues

Song Wanqiu thought that upon witnessing this scene, Gong Chen would find Lin Zhiyi’s casual behavior distasteful.

To her surprise, his expression remained unaltered, his slender fingers pressed to his temple and the other hand flipping through documents on his lap with an indifferent air.

“Did you ask me here just to watch a show?”

His deep voice carried a hint of coolness, as if the person before him was not his fiancée but an underperforming subordinate.

Song Wanqiu clenched her fists, almost biting her inner lip to shreds, yet dared not to retort.

At that moment, she glanced at Lin Zhiyi in the rearview mirror and her eyes flickered.

Lin Zhiyi was actually…

Seeing Gong Chen was about to look up, Song Wanqiu quickly stretched out her hand to grasp his.

“Third Young Master, I’m here because of President Yu from Cha Hua Manor.”

“I know you’ve been talking about a cooperation with her, and it just so happens that our studio also has dealings with her. If you take me to meet her, I’ll present a design that will satisfy her, which will also help your cooperation.”

“President Yu is notoriously difficult to deal with. President Xue has flown there three times and still faced her difficulties, but I’m not afraid. Recently, I’ve done something that upset you and I just want to do something to make it up to you.”

“Third Young Master, please believe in me.”

Song Wanqiu looked earnestly at Gong Chen, her hand slowly moving up to caress the back of his hand gently.

Gong Chen subtly withdrew his hand, closed the document, and looked at her with an emotionless expression: “Hmm.”

Upon receiving his affirmative answer, Song Wanqiu smiled gently on the surface, but inside, she was ecstatically overjoyed.

With Gong Chen as her support, how could President Yu not recognize her design?

Lin Zhiyi, don’t even think about securing your position in the studio!

Thinking this, Song Wanqiu smiled, took out her phone, and stealthily sent a text message.

The car started.

Gong Chen raised his eyes to light a cigarette, his hand holding the cigarette peeking out of the half-opened car window, allowing the smoke to drift away with the wind.

In the mist, the car of Lin Zhiyi’s male colleague left, with a woman with long hair visible in the rear window being playfully pulled into the arms of the man by her side.

Good rapport with the opposite sex?

Quite good indeed.

Upon seeing this, Song Wanqiu deliberately mentioned, “This male colleague seems to have quite a liking for Zhiyi, and President Xue values him too. It looks like Zhiyi doesn’t mind him either, they seem quite well-matched, don’t you think, Third Young Master?”

Gong Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, the flame from his cigarette flickered for a moment before he took it from his lips and blew out a billow of white smoke, mysteriously clouding his cold and dangerous features.

He said nothing, but it was enough to instill fear in Song Wanqiu.

She didn’t even dare meet his gaze, immediately lowering her head, her hands twisting the hem of her skirt, as layers upon layers of hatred for Lin Zhiyi accumulated.

Deep down, she felt that things should not have turned out this way.

Why did everything change overnight?

…

Ten minutes earlier.

Lin Zhiyi pretended to get into the car, and while everyone’s guard was down, she shoved Shen Yan into her male colleague’s car.

She then made her escape, and even kindly said, “Shen Yan, don’t say your friend didn’t help you out, I’ll give you a chance to enjoy yourself too, have fun everyone.”

Seeing Lin Zhiyi run off, the male colleague was somewhat annoyed, with some even considering chasing after her.

No one knew where Chen Huan came from, but he grabbed Lin Zhiyi and they both hopped into a taxi.

Seeing there was no show to watch, the male colleagues exchanged reproachful glances towards Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked at them with a pitiful, almost tearful expression, instantly arousing protectiveness in the male colleagues.

“Since we can’t invite Lin Zhiyi, let’s just have a meal with you.”

“Let’s go, I still have another appointment, we’ll leave right after eating.”

The group got into the car, completely ignoring Shen Yan’s increasingly pale face.

She initially aimed to help Song Wanqiu make Lin Zhiyi appear loose in front of Gong Chen, but in the end, it was she who felt insulted.

The way these men spoke, as if inviting her to dinner was so very reluctant.

Just a moment ago, they were all gazing at Lin Zhiyi with eager eyes, not knowing how much they were fawning.

Almost simultaneously, Shen Yan received a text message from Song Wanqiu.

“Get close, the Third Young Master is watching.”
