Ge'er was shocked by Lei Dongyi's shamelessness after he finished speaking.
Using such an excuse to get her to eat with him? How had he become like this?
Wasn't her mood bad enough already? What was happening to the world?
"Lei Dongyi, if I'm not mistaken, the contract has already taken effect. Whatever issues arise are your responsibility. If you have something to do, you should do it. Do you expect me to accompany you? Do you think our Zhan Group hires people just to be pampered? You're quite something!"
Lei Dongyu was rebuked by her again, but he didn't get angry, just looked at her with a faint smile.
"The weather outside is so nice today. Don't be so irritable all day. Have you not been drinking enough water lately, making you too hot-tempered? Go, pour your Zhan Zong a glass of water."
The assistant looked at the scene before them, "..."
Not knowing what to do, he obediently went to the pantry.
When he returned with the water, Ge'er was still in the same posture, like a fighting cock, her neck stiff, glaring at the smiling Lei Dongyi.
This was the first time the assistant had seen Ge'er behave this way towards someone. She wanted to say a few words to Lei Dongyi, perhaps suggesting that Lawyer Lei eat by himself first, as Zhan Zong was busy. However, as soon as she placed the teacup down, Lei Dongyi said to her.
"You don't need to worry about lunch. Zhan Zong has already agreed to eat with me. You can go out now."
The assistant looked at Ge'er with her eyes, asking what she should do. Ge'er was extremely annoyed by his shamelessness and stared coldly at Lei Dongyi, wanting to see what tricks he was up to.
"You should go back first."
The assistant practically fled the conference room.
Zhan Zong wasn't usually like this. Although everyone in the company knew she was Zhan Beijue's daughter and one of the future successors of the group, she never put on airs.
Having been her assistant for over two years, she had never seen her lose her temper with anyone...
Her intuition told her that the relationship between her and Lei Dongyi was not simply one of dislike, but rather a playful flirtation.
This was because the way Lei Dongyi looked at her was too affectionate and playful, as if he was deliberately trying to anger her.
The assistant couldn't help but be curious. Could they have a relationship other than just business partners?
After looking up Lei Dongyi's information, she quickly confirmed her intuition.
Lei Dongyi's records showed that he attended the same school as Ge'er in high school, and they were of similar age. Could they have been classmates before?
No wonder Zhan Zong was like that, yet Lawyer Lei was still smiling. This was interesting.
Seeing that both their appearances and figures were well-matched, and recalling the scene just now, the assistant imagined a scenario of old classmates meeting again after many years, with one pursuing the other.
She suddenly felt that this pairing was very appealing and was already looking forward to the next developments.
After the assistant left, Lei Dongyi went to close the conference room door.
He sat back in his chair with a leisurely air, pushed the teacup forward, and persuaded Ge'er.
"Don't be angry anymore. Come, sit down, drink your tea. What do you want to eat? Let's have a proper meal."
Eat your sister, Ge'er thought. Can't you see I'm disgusted with you? Eat? Eat a ghost!
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, Lei Dongyi. What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything. Just to have lunch together. I've just joined your company and I'm unfamiliar with the place. It's lonely to go to the cafeteria alone."
"Heh. Unfamiliar with the place and lonely? So I'm supposed to accompany you?"
"Who told us we're old classmates and business partners? Having a meal together isn't a big deal, is it?"
Ge'er let out a sigh, closed her eyes, and looked at him with the last shred of her patience.
"I'll give you one last minute, Lei Dongyi. Are you going to say it or not?"
She was furious, but Lei Dongyi remained unhurried and calm.
"Say it? Can we discuss it after work? I don't like discussing work while eating."
You damn...
Are you deliberately teasing me for fun?
Ge'er wished she could pick up the hot tea and pour it on his face.
"Lei Dongyi, if you ever die, it will surely be because you were too despicable and beaten to death by a mob! From now on, you are not allowed to speak to me, or else..."
She pushed the teacup to the floor, shattering it and splashing the liquid everywhere.
After smashing it, Ge'er rushed to open the door to leave. Lei Dongyi's expression finally showed some change. He stood up quickly, darted in front of her, and held the door shut.
He looked at her with a rather helpless and pitiful gaze.
"Ge'er, do you hate me that much? Can't we just talk things through properly?"
"Don't call me by my name like that! I have nothing to say to you! Don't you have a girlfriend? Don't you know to maintain boundaries with the opposite sex? Even if you don't have a girlfriend, I have a boyfriend! I warn you, if you get this close to me again, I'll report you for workplace harassment! I'll have Jiang Jingyu fire you in minutes!"
Seeing that she was truly angry, with her eyes and brows revealing her disgust towards him, Lei Dongyi, fearing he would upset her, could only raise his hands in surrender and take two steps back.
"Alright. Perhaps I was too impatient. I apologize."
"I won't harass you anymore. It's not worth getting angry with someone like me. You should go back to your office first. I'll have someone send the food to you when it arrives."
Ge'er didn't respond to him and stormed out of the conference room.
The assistant was still sitting at her desk, not having gone to eat yet, when she saw Ge'er storm back in a rage and directly go into her office, locking the door, which startled her.
Fearing that the leader's anger might spill over to others, she quickly turned off her computer and headed for the cafeteria.
As she left the office, she passed by the conference room door, where Lei Dongyi was leaning against the doorframe, looking this way with a calm expression.
For some reason, seeing one furious and the other at ease, the assistant found it quite amusing.
Perhaps it was because Lei Dongyi was too handsome and easily attracted the opposite sex. She couldn't help but greet him, risking betraying Ge'er.
"Lawyer Lei."
Lei Dongyi nodded at her with a gentle demeanor.
"Yes. Going to eat?"
"Yes. Lawyer Lei, would you like to join us?"
"No, thank you. I've ordered delivery. I've ordered a portion for you too. You don't need to go."
The assistant was surprised that she was so honored to have Lawyer Lei order for her. She quickly thanked him.
Lei Dongyi stepped away from the door.
"Since you don't need to go to the cafeteria, you might as well come in and chat while you wait."
The assistant glanced back at Ge'er's office, which was as quiet as a mouse.
Slipping inside, she followed Lei Dongyi into the conference room and closed the door.
They casually found seats, and Lei Dongyi unexpectedly extended his hand to her.
"My name is Lei Dongyi, the head of the Zhan Group's legal advisory team. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The assistant was well aware of how famous Zhonghe Law Firm was.
Being able to interact with a leading lawyer from Zhonghe Law Firm was an immense honor.
She quickly reached out to shake his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Lawyer Lei. My name is Guan Shuya. Please guide me in the future."
Lei Dongyi withdrew his hand with a faint smile. "Alright, then I'll call you Xiao Guan from now on. Xiao Guan, may I ask you a few questions?"
Guan Shuya looked at him with admiration: "Please, Lawyer Lei."
