Chapter 2221: People Compared to People, Enough to Make One Die of Anger

The confidant looked at President Zhong's smiling face and shivered.

Then, he said earnestly, "President Zhong, your crow's feet are showing from that smile."

Upon hearing this, President Zhong immediately glared at the confidant: "Shut your mouth!"

The confidant shrank his shoulders, not daring to utter another word of critique.

"These materials were compiled by me personally; send them anonymously to the shareholders' email addresses in a moment."

As President Zhong spoke, he sent a file to the confidant's phone.

The confidant took a casual look at it.

Immediately, his eyes widened: "Th-this is slander, right?"

If it were ordinary slander, the confidant would not have had such a reaction.

After all, being in the workplace and serving as President Zhong's confidant, what kind of tactics had he not witnessed?

But the target of the slander was Su Kexuan...

If discovered, that would mean being in serious trouble!

President Zhong, however, did not take it to heart.

He retorted, "Are there any names explicitly mentioned inside? If someone is willing to fit the description, who can they blame?"

"But..."

"Why so much nonsense? Can you do it or not? If you can't, then get out!"

President Zhong was already feeling irritable and restless.

As a result, the confidant talked so much that he just exploded.

Being yelled at like that by President Zhong, the confidant dared not say anything more.

He hurriedly lowered his head and said in a conciliatory tone, "Please don't be angry, I won't ramble anymore, I'll do exactly as you say right now!"

Before leaving, the confidant thought of something else and asked, "Should we give a heads-up to Geo Company? To avoid them believing the rumors and refusing to invest."

"Idiot, with me here, would Geo Company not understand the tricks involved!"

"As expected of President Zhong, your thinking is so comprehensive. Then... next time you go to Geo to communicate, could you take me along?"

When the confidant spoke, he wore a fawning smile.

It was obvious he wanted to take the opportunity to expand his connections.

As a result...

President Zhong snorted, his tone mocking: "Don't think about things you shouldn't covet; remember what your status is!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Alright, get out!"

The confidant left the office in a well-behaved manner.

But once he walked out of the office, his expression changed.

He muttered in a low voice: "All the difficult tasks are handed to me, while anything with a bit of sweetness is kept for himself; he's so stingy!"

Just as he finished muttering, the confidant looked up and saw Su Kexuan's assistant walking this way.

The confidant quickly pulled himself together.

But Su Kexuan's assistant had already caught the gloom on his face just a moment ago.

He walked over, feigning concern, and asked, "What's wrong? Were you scolded by President Zhong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Although the other party denied it, the assistant didn't believe it at all.

He put on an expression as if he couldn't bear to expose the other's lie and sighed: "Sigh, we're just employees, coming in every day to earn 'wretched pay'."

This remark earned the confidant's approval.

That was truly wretched!

"But my boss is actually quite good to me; the other day when I worked overtime, she even transferred a 50,000 yuan red envelope to me."

Fifty thousand yuan!?

This number made President Zhong's confidant's expression change slightly.

The assistant continued: "The boss also gave me stored-value cards for several restaurants, so I can eat whatever I want when I go in. By the way, why don't we go have a good meal at noon?"

The other party refused uncomfortably: "No need, I have an appointment with other colleagues."

"Alright then," the assistant didn't force it; he raised his hand to pat the other's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't take some things to heart; it's just a job."

After saying this, the assistant walked away.

Where he couldn't see, President Zhong's confidant rolled his eyes hard, thinking, what is there to show off about!

However...

At least the person had things to show off.

What did he have?

Only endless work!

And the scapegoating that could fall on him at any moment!

The more the confidant thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.

As his eyes darted around, he secretly kept a wary eye out.

As for the assistant who had walked away, he used his phone to send a message to Su Kexuan: Done!

Upon receiving these two words, Su Kexuan curled her lips.

Looking out the car window, she discovered that the car had already arrived near the destination.

The driver found a parking spot, and Su Kexuan prepared to get out of the car.

However, Jiang Mobai in the car had no intention of getting out.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Mobai discussed it with Su Kexuan: "Kexuan, I'll wait for you in the car, is that okay?"

Is that okay?

Naturally, it is not!

Su Kexuan didn't say anything either; she just crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Jiang Mobai.

Seeing this posture, Jiang Mobai knew he had been rejected.

He sighed, then put on his sunglasses and slowly got out of the car.

The weather today was quite nice.

Not a cloud in the sky.

The sunlight shone on his body, feeling warm.

Yet Jiang Mobai was tense all over.

He had even prepared his crutch.

As a result, Su Kexuan threw the crutch directly back into the car.

"This..."

"I'm right beside you; don't you think I can protect you better than that crutch?"

Su Kexuan's domineering remark made Jiang Mobai's eyes flicker.

The next second, he leaned against Su Kexuan's side: "Then I'll rely on you today."

Jiang Mobai wanted to appear delicate and charming.

But his physique and temperament were destined to have nothing to do with being delicate.

Instead, it looked rather incongruous.

Su Kexuan silently pushed Jiang Mobai away.

She even suddenly had the urge to shove the crutch back into his hands!

Fortunately, the person in charge appeared.

With an outsider present, Jiang Mobai restrained himself.

Su Kexuan also shifted her focus and began to follow behind the person in charge to tour the inside.

This art gallery had been managed quite well previously.

When it was originally designed, a famous designer had been hired.

The overall feel was very modern.

The location was also good.

But the original owner had to reluctantly part with it due to a sudden change in family circumstances.

Su Kexuan toured the place and was very satisfied with it.

However, while touring, she also kept an eye on Jiang Mobai's state.

Jiang Mobai had been following by Su Kexuan's side the whole time.

At the beginning, he was completely tense.

He would look around from time to time.

Only after realizing that no outsiders would wander in here did he slowly relax.

Later on, he was even drawn in by the introduction from the person in charge and listened attentively.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Mobai was looking at the bamboo outside the window.

Hearing Su Kexuan ask for his opinion, he was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm just a layman; I can't say anything professional."

"But you have visited many art galleries; your aesthetic sense and vision are right there."

Hmm...

Does this count as a compliment to himself?

Jiang Mobai only hesitated for a moment before deciding that this was indeed a compliment to himself!

He felt wonderful inside.

Raising his eyebrows, he spoke of his feelings: "The venue gives people a very comfortable feeling; the overall style is grand and magnificent, and it blends perfectly with the natural environment outside. Overall, it has character and doesn't just follow the crowd."

Upon hearing this, the person in charge smiled and said: "Sir, how are you a layman? You are simply too good at critiquing!"

While speaking, the person in charge kept looking at Jiang Mobai.

He felt... the man before him looked very familiar.

Seeing the other person scrutinizing Jiang Mobai, Su Kexuan unobtrusively drew the other person's attention away and started chatting about something else.
