Tong An'an said, "President Jiang is swamped, he doesn't have time to eat your meal!"
"Oh, whether he has time or not is his business, whether we say it or not is ours. We must express our intentions. You child, you just don't understand social graces. If you don't tell him, I'll call him myself! Give me his phone number!"
Absolutely not.
She dared to talk about the shop with President Jiang behind her back. What else might she do after giving her his phone number?
Tong An had no choice but to agree, "I'll tell him, don't worry."
After finishing these matters and returning to the company, Tong An'an thought about it and sent a thank you to Jiang Jingyu.
Jiang Jingyu asked her, "Is the contract signed?"
"Yes."
"Is Auntie happy?"
"Very happy. She even said she wants to invite you and Assistant Zhang to our house for dinner. Thank you so much, President Jiang."
It was still Auntie who knew how to behave, knowing to invite them for dinner. Unlike someone else, who thought a thank you would suffice.
Jiang Jingyu said, "Sure, when do you plan to invite me?"
Tong An'an was stunned. Was he that free? Was he addicted to interacting with middle-aged women? Would he really attend her dinner party?
"My mom is free every day, it just depends on when you are free. If you can spare the time, please let me know in advance so I can make arrangements."
Jiang Jingyu happily spun around in his boss's chair and replied to her.
"The best time to strike is the opportune moment. Since Auntie is happy today, how about tonight?"
Although Tong An'an was surprised, she didn't dare to refuse and quickly agreed to message her mother.
Jiang Jingyu naturally wouldn't leave the opportunity to eat to Zhang Yang. He didn't even mention it to him. When it was time to get off work, he messaged Tong An'an and asked to meet in the basement parking lot.
It had been a long time since she had met him in the basement parking lot, and Tong An'an felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Standing by the car, watching him walk over in a sharp black suit with a dark blue overcoat, looking like a jade tree leaning against the wind, she felt a bit uncomfortably shy.
She always felt that the relationship between them was not that of a normal boss and employee.
She really didn't know how to interact with Jiang Jingyu anymore.
Seeing her from afar, Jiang Jingyu smiled slightly and unlocked the car.
They got in together. As he fastened his seatbelt, he looked at Tong An'an in a very good mood.
His gaze made her extremely uncomfortable, and she quickly reached up to touch her face, "What's wrong, President Jiang? Is there something on my face?"
"No. I just find you amusing."
Tong An'an's face suddenly turned red. She thought to herself, why was she amusing?
Jiang Jingyu said, "You actually don't trust me and Assistant Zhang that much, thinking we wanted to cheat you out of your money. You, you are the first person in the history of Zhan Group to suspect me like this."
She felt so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her face and could only change the subject.
"Why didn't Assistant Zhang come?"
Jiang Jingyu's smile faded as he started the car and said with a hint of jealousy.
"What? Are you disappointed that Assistant Zhang isn't here?"
What kind of question was that?
Tong An'an quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. He helped me so much, I felt I should at least show some appreciation."
Jiang Jingyu didn't respond to her remark and instead asked.
"Do you have any other feelings for Assistant Zhang?"
Tong An'an was bewildered by his question, "What other feelings?"
Jiang Jingyu was direct, "Assistant Zhang is young, good-looking, has a good job, and has future development potential. He is the dream man of many female colleagues in the company. He helped you when you first joined, and now he has helped again. Could it be that you..."
Tong An'an was furious.
Why was President Jiang so gossipy? To speculate about people's psychology like this!
Although she was single and it was just a joke to be speculated about, it still made her feel incredibly stifled and angry.
She unconsciously pouted and snorted, "Just because everyone else sees him as a dream man, does that mean I have to too? President Jiang, why are you so boring?"
After saying that, she turned her face to look out the window, giving the impression that she no longer wanted to talk to Jiang Jingyu.
Seeing her so vividly express her emotions in front of him, Jiang Jingyu felt happy again.
It meant that Tong An'an didn't treat him as an outsider, at least not as a leader. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't dare to speak like this.
That put his mind at ease.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just joking, why are you reacting so strongly? I apologize, don't be angry."
Tong An'an continued to turn her head away, ignoring him.
Jiang Jingyu instinctively reached out to pull her arm, "Alright, alright, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, don't be angry."
Tong An'an shook his hand off.
Oh dear, she had quite a temper.
"Then how can I make you not angry? Should I buy you a candy?"
Tong An'an snorted and turned her face back.
"Who wants your candy? I just don't like people guessing about me like this! I've always been very cautious about matters of the heart!"
Jiang Jingyu sincerely realized his mistake. After driving for a while, he stopped at a pastry shop and bought her a small, exquisite-looking cake.
"Miss Tong, I sincerely apologize. Please accept this dessert as your forgiveness."
This was the first time Tong An'an had seen such a small and beautiful cake.
It was like an exquisite toy, and she could tell it was delicious just by looking through the packaging.
Seeing Jiang Jingyu holding the gift and handing it to her, she suddenly realized that she had overreacted a bit.
He was the big boss, and he was just joking. Did he really need to buy her a gift to appease her?
"No, I'm not angry. I was just teasing you. President Jiang, I don't want it."
Jiang Jingyu said gently, "It was my fault in the first place, and it's understandable that you're angry. It's even better that you're not angry. I've already bought it, so please eat it, or I'll feel guilty."
Tong An'an accepted the cake with a blush, thinking, Tong An, oh Tong An'an, what are you doing? In a daze, you've incurred another favor.
She held the cake, reluctant to eat it. Jiang Jingyu walked a short distance away and saw her not eating, so he asked her.
"What? You don't like it? Should I buy you something else to appease you?"
"No, no, I like it very much."
"Then why aren't you eating it?"
"I..."
"It seems you still don't like it enough."
She had no choice but to open it and take a spoonful. It was truly delicious.
It was the same cream, but why was it so smooth, so sweet, and so, so delicious?
She couldn't help but secretly look for the price on the packaging, and she actually found it.
A small price tag was attached to the base. Such a small piece of cake cost 498 yuan.
The two continued forward. As they were about to enter the Shuangqiao Town area, they saw a chain supermarket, and Jiang Jingyu drove the car towards it.
Tong An'an guessed what he was going to do and quickly stopped him.
"President Jiang, are you going down to buy something?"
Jiang Jingyu honestly replied, "After all, I'm going to your house as a guest. It wouldn't be right to go empty-handed."
Tong An'an blushed, "You just spent almost 500 yuan on a cake, and now you want to buy gifts? I'm really embarrassed. Please don't do this, I feel so much pressure."
