"Without a word, the person found me by helicopter!"
"You don't know how rude those savages in the village were. We were surrounded, and President Zhan protected Engineer Jiang with one hand while fighting them with the other."
"It was a flurry of clanging, swords flashing, and amidst the chaos, a bloody path was carved out."
"That heroic, domineering masculinity, ah, thinking about it now, even as a man, I can't help but be moved!"
It wasn't just Engineer Zhang who was moved; the entire technical department, a group of men, listened to his captivating description and were all smitten.
They all cheered, unable to resist asking for more details.
This was too sweet!
Hero saves the damsel stories might be cliché, but they were eternal!
It was never-ending.
Jiang Nan Fang listened in her office, while outside a group of monkeys continued to clamor loudly.
After enduring it for a while, she could no longer stand it and had to go out with a stern face to reprimand them.
"From now on, anyone who says anything unrelated to work will have their salary deducted for a month."
With the General Manager's fury, everyone dared not be reckless.
They quickly returned to their workstations and bowed their heads to start working.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Huatai's employee cafeteria was the same old one.
While the food tasted acceptable, the variety was limited.
Eating the same thing day after day had made everyone weary.
So, they had developed a habit of ordering takeout.
Due to frequent external work, the technical department did not have a strict office attendance policy and did not require clocking in.
When mealtime arrived, Engineer Zhang took out his phone and asked everyone what they wanted to eat today, offering to place a group order.
He also called out to Jiang Nan Fang.
"General Manager Jiang, what do you want for lunch today?
I'll order for you too."
Jiang Nan Fang had eaten too much for breakfast and wasn't hungry at noon.
Just as she was about to say she wouldn't eat, a delivery person in a yellow uniform walked in carrying a box of food.
"Excuse me, is Ms. Jiang Nan Fang here?"
Everyone in the technical department exchanged glances, and after a moment, erupted into thunderous cheers and teasing.
They all rushed to Jiang Nan Fang's office door and shouted at her.
"It's time to eat, time to eat, General Manager Jiang! President Zhan is here to bring you lunch!"
What? After delivering breakfast, then flowers, and after flowers, lunch?
Was Zhou Jin Bei really not done yet?
They all jumped around as if they had never seen takeout, laughing at her.
Jiang Nan Fang, not understanding what was so funny, said to the delivery person with a stern face.
"I'm not eating. Whoever ordered it can take it back. I don't accept it."
The delivery person looked wronged.
There was such a thing?
I worked hard to run this order from so far away just to earn two yuan in delivery fees, and now you want me to take it back?
"Miss, don't mess with people like this..."
After speaking, Jiang Nan Fang realized she had acted improperly.
They were all working people, why make things difficult for the delivery person?
She took the item and ushered the delivery person out.
"What? Do you all want to try it?"
Everyone chuckled.
"It's a lunch of love sent by President Zhan. We can't even have the资格 to try it, so forget it, you eat it yourself."
Jiang Nan Fang then ate the lunch.
Filled with energy, she worked diligently until the afternoon. Once her work was finished, she left on time.
Unexpectedly, as she reached the front desk downstairs, she was stopped by a staff member.
"General Manager Jiang, there's a bouquet of flowers for you. Please sign for it."
It was a few sunflowers, very cutely packaged.
Jiang Nan Fang was truly exasperated.
Fine, Zhou Jin Bei. Since you have so much money and like to play so much, I'll accept it.
Let's see how many days you can keep this up.
Miss Zhou, being wealthy and generous, treated money like dirt.
For three consecutive days, the same tricks were played.
Her wallet could handle it, but Jiang Nan Fang's composure couldn't.
The news that she and Zhan Bei Jue were dating was about to spread throughout Huatai.
It was as if the items were actually sent by him. What was this all about?
Finally, she threw the last bouquet into the trash can. Jiang Nan Fang, unable to bear it any longer, called Zhan Bei Jue.
"Come out. We need to talk."
Receiving her call was already unexpected, and now she wanted him to come out and talk?
Zhan Bei Jue instinctively thought of Zhou Jin Bei.
Had this little girl done something foolish behind his back again?
Zhan Bei Jue called her into his office.
"Confess yourself, or wait for me to ask?"
"What?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Did you provoke Jiang Nan Fang again?"
Zhou Jin Bei suddenly understood: "She contacted you?"
"You're the type who won't shed tears until you see the coffin, don't you learn your lesson? I..."
"Heaven and earth as my witness, I didn't provoke her!"
Zhou Jin Bei recounted her good deeds over the past three days to him.
"Now all your subordinates must be gossiping about her, thinking that you sent the items and spreading rumors about you two. So she's getting anxious."
"This is a perfect opportunity to win her over. Second brother, go, charge! Stop being a coward and embarrassing me!"
I'm embarrassing you?
Zhan Bei Jue shot her a glare.
"Get out, get out, get out."
After kicking Zhou Jin Bei out, he pondered her words.
Honestly, there was some truth to them.
Should he try to win her over again?
They say that even the most stubborn woman can be won over by persistence.
Perhaps if he persisted, Jiang Nan Fang would change her mind?
Although she didn't admit it, he could still feel that she had feelings for him.
With this plan in mind, Zhan Bei Jue truly lacked experience in being a persistent suitor.
And he was too proud to ask Zhou Jin Bei for help, so he could only call Lu Ming Zhe.
Upon receiving his call, Lu Ming Zhe was not surprised.
"Did the sun rise from the west today? Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
"Could it be telepathy? You knew I was in a bad mood and had nowhere to go, so you invited me to stay at your place for a couple of days?"
What a coincidence! He happened to need a favor from him?
Then there was no need to even ask.
Zhan Bei Jue put on a show of wanting to help him.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
Lu Ming Zhe sighed.
"Don't even mention it. A few days ago, I told you my family arranged a marriage for me when I was young. That woman came looking for me."
"Fortunately, my brother ran into her at the door and stopped her. She's at his bar now."
"If he hadn't stopped her and she had gone straight to my house, wouldn't my mother and the others have forced me into marriage?"
"No, I absolutely cannot go home until Lu Qing Xu has sent her away."
"Old Zhan, you have to be loyal to your friends. If my mother calls you, just say you haven't seen me."
Normally, Zhan Bei Jue wouldn't bother listening to such trivial matters.
But today, he was intrigued.
"Why are you so ungracious? The girl traveled a long distance, all alone, to find you. Not only are you not meeting her, but you want to send her away?"
"Do you think she has no brains? If she can't find you, won't she call your mother? Won't she ask her mother to complain to your mother?"
"Then not only will you not be able to escape, but you'll also be criticized by both sets of parents. Are you tired of living?"
Lu Ming Zhe had spoken out of desperation, saying something thoughtless.
Upon hearing his words, he immediately wailed.
"Damn it, so you're saying that other than making a vow of death to show my resolve, I can't escape this time?"
