"It's rare to have a chance for them to be alone. The issues that need resolving should be addressed now."
Zhan Bei Jue was trying hard to set the mood, but she kept thinking about others.
As soon as he finished speaking, he got angry.
He lifted his head to look at her.
"Am I that unattractive now?"
Jiang Nan Fang: "??"
"We haven't seen each other for days. I finally got the kids to sleep. You don't even ask me how I've been these past few days. If I missed you? You just speak up for Hu Jia Cheng. You think about Zhou Jin Bei again. Do you still have me in your heart? I'm like this. You don't react at all."
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I won't say anything more."
Jiang Nan Fang began to proactively appease him.
Soon, the atmosphere in the room was heated.
In fact, Jiang Nan Fang had encountered some problems during the days Zhan Bei Jue was away.
Ever since he said he wanted all the people from Huatai's technical department to return to Gerui Electric, they were excited.
They were so eager that they couldn't wait to return immediately.
Jiang Nan Fang calmed them down, telling them to follow the procedures first.
Ke Teng was reluctant to let them go, and it would be better to leave collectively later.
Soon, the news reached Ke Teng's ears.
Knowing that he could keep the people but not their hearts, and that they didn't originally belong here, Ke Teng did not try to retain them.
However, he held this matter in his heart.
That day, after the bidding conference ended and it was confirmed that Gerui Electric had secured the final bidding qualification, Jiang Nan Fang was so happy that she let Zhou Jin Bei treat her to a meal.
She accompanied this fallen rich girl to shop at a luxury store.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Ke Teng and Shen Min'er at the store.
Due to the competition for the land king's financing, Ke Teng had been very close to the managers of several banks recently.
He took Shen Min'er everywhere, so he was going to buy her some outfits.
Shen Min'er certainly didn't have the financial means to buy these things herself, but Ke Teng insisted she go.
After picking out an outfit and a bag, just as they were about to pay.
Jiang Nan Fang and Zhou Jin Bei walked in.
Seeing each other unexpectedly, everyone's expression was a bit awkward.
Before anyone could break the ice, Ke Teng suddenly started to pick a fight.
The salesperson handed the wrapped clothes and bag to Min'er and asked them to come over to pay.
Min'er took the items, ready to go with Ke Teng.
Unexpectedly, he sat on the sofa, not moving, his tone lazy.
"You're buying things yourself, why are you standing there looking at me? You're not my wife, nor my girlfriend, do you expect me to buy them for you?"
There were about a dozen people in the store, including staff and customers.
As soon as he said this, all eyes turned to Min'er.
She didn't know why Ke Teng was suddenly acting crazy, and she felt extremely embarrassed.
Moreover, Jiang Nan Fang was watching from not far away.
Min'er bit her lip in embarrassment.
"Mr. Ke, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Aren't you Chinese? Can't you understand me?"
Ke Teng said dismissively.
"It means what it says. If you like these things, buy them with your own money. You're not mine, why should I pay for you?"
Whispers immediately filled the store.
Everyone widened their eyes, waiting to see what would unfold.
They could probably guess what they were saying.
They were definitely mocking Min'er as a materialistic gold digger.
As it turned out, her cleverness backfired; the rich second-generation heir refused to pay for her.
The change in attitude was too sudden, and Min'er didn't know how to react.
After a pause, she had to return the items to the salesperson.
"I'm sorry. I won't buy them today."
The staff at the luxury store were accustomed to dealing with wealthy people and were already arrogant.
Seeing that Ke Teng wasn't going to protect her, they immediately showed their displeasure.
"This is the first time I've encountered something like this. If you don't have money to buy, don't come to our store. I served you for so long, and you made such a scene, aren't you ashamed?"
"There are too many women these days who think they can rely on men to pay for them just because they're attractive, but I've never seen someone fall so hard before. Tsk tsk."
After her sarcastic remark, the whispers grew louder.
Min'er felt so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear.
Vowing never to set foot in such a place again, she turned to leave.
Jiang Nan Fang walked over.
She reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Min'er, what a coincidence, you're here too?"
"Why are you leaving as soon as I arrive? Have you finished shopping, or are you not planning to browse anymore?"
She had clearly seen her embarrassing situation just now, yet she said such things. Wasn't that insincere?
Shen Min'er, blushing, didn't want to talk to her.
Jiang Nan Fang linked her arm, acting intimately.
"Your brother told me a couple of days ago to find time to go shopping with you. I thought you were working, so I didn't call you."
"It's good that we met here. It saves me from having to find you again."
"Give your sister-in-law some face and browse a bit longer. Let me pick out a couple of things for you."
She wanted to buy things for her?
Others cast their curious gazes again.
Jiang Nan Fang took out her card from her bag and slipped it into Min'er's hand.
"Some people are like frogs in a well, with perspectives as small as a needle's eye. They are destined to be mere service staff their entire lives. There's no need to argue with them."
"Go ahead. Buy whatever you like. Your brother said you can swipe it freely."
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Min'er walked towards the salesperson and handed her the card.
"Check out. Wrap up the same items as before for me."
Ke Teng glanced at Jiang Nan Fang with amusement, a cold smile tugging at his lips.
Soon, the items were purchased, and Jiang Nan Fang walked out, holding her arm.
As they walked, she didn't forget to get revenge for her.
"I don't really like this brand. The design concept is average, and the employees' service attitude is also poor. It's only because you're so magnanimous that you're willing to patronize them."
"I won't be buying anything here anyway, let's go look elsewhere."
After leaving the store, Min'er released Jiang Nan Fang's hand and thanked her with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing that Ke Teng hadn't followed them out.
Jiang Nan Fang asked her.
"Why are you still with Ke Teng? I'm sure Ah Jue has already warned you that he's not someone easy to deal with. You should stay a little further away from him in the future."
Regardless of her reasons for saying this to her, at least she had helped her just now.
Min'er couldn't show her a bad face, so she could only smile faintly.
"I'm not like you, beautiful and capable, with such a formidable husband."
"I'm just an ordinary employee with little education. Although I have two legs, they're not entirely under my control."
Zhou Jin Bei didn't like to hear such talk.
If you like to rely on rich men, just say it directly, don't act like you're being forced and wronged.
She exposed her without mercy.
"Since you also look down on his behavior and feel that he's coercing you, then why don't you just quit working under him?"
"Come to Zhan's company. Even if your education isn't high, I believe my brother will arrange a respectable job for you. Why put yourself in such a pitiful state?"
Min'er glanced at her and smiled self-deprecatingly again.
