It turned out to be like this.
However, this explanation could not completely sway Zhan Bei Jue.
There are many ways to refuse a man's pursuit. The simplest and most common is to ignore him.
Have you ever seen anyone holding a woman, kissing and hugging her, and acting like this?
Although he felt a little better, Zhan Bei Jue's tone remained unfriendly.
"As my ex-wife, the mother of my children, your face is not just your own. You cannot lose it anytime, anywhere you please."
"If you want to refuse a man's pursuit, with your intelligence, there are many ways. You don't have to choose the most unsightly one."
"Jiang Nan Fang, I hope this is the last time I see you making a spectacle of yourself in public. To have a chance to see the children again, conduct yourself with dignity."
After speaking, he turned to leave the laboratory. Jiang Nan Fang quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.
"?" He turned back with a frown.
Jiang Nan Fang: "You keep threatening me with the children. They're not yours alone, so why are you so arrogant?"
"I miss the children. I want to see them. Today."
After making me angry, she dares to act tough again? Is this woman emboldened by a lion's heart?
Zhan Bei Jue tried to pull his hand away, but she stepped forward and held on tighter.
She even pressed her face against his arm, acting spoiled.
"If you don't let me see them, I might go to a bar out of boredom tonight."
"If I go to a bar, I might attract men."
"If men pursue me, I might do something embarrassing."
"Mr. Zhan, what if I get drunk and accidentally reveal that you are my ex-husband? That would be a big problem."
So, this woman is holding onto me and preventing me from leaving, and she's threatening me?
You dare to threaten me, Zhan Bei Jue? Besides Zhan Jing Ge, you are truly the first.
Zhan Jing Ge can threaten me because she carries my noble Zhan Bei Jue genes in her bloodline. She has that right.
What do you think you are?
"Jiang Nan Fang, the bar is mine. From the moment you left, you were blacklisted for life."
"You want to threaten me? Do you need me to spit on a mirror for you to see yourself?"
"..."
Is this person so short of money? Why is he involved in every industry?
He even invested in a dingy bar!
She had been uneasy since she didn't see the children when she left on the weekend.
Coupled with the discovery today that her mother's grave had been moved... in any case, she really needed the children to accompany her today.
"There's more than one bar in Nan Cheng. I don't believe you can control all of them!"
"If you insist on embarrassing yourself, I can't stop you. But if you infringe upon my personal reputation, the Zhan Corporation earns tens of millions in net profit from lawsuits like this alone each year."
"..."
"Take your hand off. Jiang Nan Fang, don't cherish the good life you have and insist on courting death. My nickname 'Cold-Faced Yama' wasn't given for nothing. If you want to die, I have countless ways to fulfill your wish."
Confronting a strong person with force will only ignite their fighting spirit and make them stronger.
Jiang Nan Fang was agile. When she found that being tough wouldn't work, she switched to being soft.
While he was scolding her, she lowered her head to gather her emotions. When he finished, she looked up at him with pitiful eyes.
"I went to sweep my mother's grave today."
"?"
"Jiang Zhen Jun is so heartless. He's already had a tombstone erected for her."
"..."
"I feel so sad, so useless, so unfilial, and so sorry for her. Her life was so bitter. She didn't live a good life, and she won't have a good afterlife. I'm just too useless, sob..."
A few minutes later, Jiang Nan Fang, tearfully beautiful, reached a friendly agreement with Zhan Bei Jue.
Zhan Bei Jue: "You can have them accompany you for dinner today, but I must be present. We'll eat whatever I say we eat, and you'll leave with me after that."
It was already difficult enough to have a meal together, so Jiang Nan Fang said, "Okay."
"Then we'll go pick them up from kindergarten later. I'll go out first, and you wait until I've left before you come out."
"..." It's like meeting a secret lover, having to leave separately?
"Okay."
"Don't take the same elevator as me. We'll meet in the garage. You're too unlucky, and I don't want the same incident from last time to happen again."
"..." When you had claustrophobia and begged me to talk to you to distract you, why weren't you this arrogant?
Jiang Nan Fang endured the humiliation and said, "Okay."
Zhan Bei Jue walked out of the laboratory.
Since he rarely came to the Electric Company, and almost never set foot in departments other than the technical department, all the employees were very curious about him.
They pretended to be busy, but in reality, they were trying their best to steal glances at him.
He walked forward with an imposing presence, his gaze straight ahead, with a woman following not too far behind him.
The woman had her hair in a high ponytail, wore a white short t-shirt, light blue high-waisted straight-leg jeans, and white sneakers.
She was tall and slender, with fair skin and a beautiful face. She actually looked quite good following him.
Someone whispered gossip, "Hey, hey, look, who's that behind you? Is that Mr. Zhan's assistant? How can she be working with Mr. Zhan dressed like that?"
"No way. I heard Mr. Zhan's assistant has been with him for many years, and it's a man. This woman seems to be from our company."
"From our company? What does she do? Why haven't I seen her?"
"I think she's from the technical department. I don't know what she does specifically. I heard a beauty joined the technical department when I went to deliver documents before."
"Wow, if you say so, she's only been here a few days? She's already standing next to Mr. Zhan right after she arrived, that's impressive."
"Maybe she's a connection. Look at her, does she look like someone who does technical work? Don't be so naive."
"That's true. Hey, hey, look, didn't that woman just cry? Her eyes and nose are so red, and she seems to be walking strangely."
"...No way, what are you thinking? Are you suspecting she and Mr. Zhan..."
"I didn't say anything! But you can see for yourself!"
"Indeed, she does seem a bit strange. Look at her posture... Oh my, if it's true, it would be too explosive! I can't believe we're witnessing such a hot scene!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, and whatever you do, don't spread rumors. I'll send a message to Xiao Li in the technical department to ask."
Kindergarten lets out at five o'clock, and it's currently four-twenty in the afternoon.
Zhan Bei Jue didn't need to return to the group. Jiang Nan Fang went directly with him to the kindergarten entrance to pick up the children. Before leaving, she said goodbye to Vice President Gao.
As soon as she walked into the technical department, Xiao Li stood up from his seat, gossiping, "Engineer Jiang!"
Jiang Nan Fang looked over, "What is it?"
He looked her up and down, and indeed, her eyes and nose showed signs of crying. He was immediately startled.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, what did Mr. Zhan say to you alone just now?"
Actually, everyone was quite curious.
Zhan Bei Jue had never spoken to anyone in the technical department alone, except for her. And she had only been here for a few days?
Could it be that because she was beautiful and capable, the boss wanted to snatch her from them?
Seeing everyone's curious gazes, even Jiang Nan Fang, who wasn't foolish, could guess what they were thinking.
She deliberately sniffled again, "There was a small flaw in the product that everyone missed, but he noticed it. He kept me alone and scolded me fiercely."
"Ah?"
"I have a terrible headache. I need to go back to the hospital for more injections. You all carry on, I'll go say goodbye to Vice President Gao again. Sigh, it's too difficult to be a female technician at the Zhan Corporation."
