Chapter 2235: The Inner Desire Has Always Been There

The assistant was very conflicted.

Just as he was indecisive, Su Kexuan stepped away.

An invisible pressure dissipated along with her.

The assistant hurriedly let out a sigh of relief.

He silently told himself that he must not dig into his boss's gossip again in the future.

It was too oppressive!

Su Kexuan, who had walked away first, made a phone call to Wang Zi.

As soon as Wang Zi saw it was Su Kexuan's number, his heart began to thump wildly.

Once he picked up, he cautiously probed: "It wouldn't be that you have something on tomorrow and can't make it, right?"

"No, I'm just confirming the specific time with you again."

"God, you scared me to death!"

Wang Zi let out a sigh of relief, then told Su Kexuan the specific time.

Su Kexuan couldn't help but smile: "What are you afraid of? I said I would bring Jiang Mobai over, so I will definitely do it."

"Hey, I was just... afraid there might be some unexpected situation."

Wang Zi scratched the back of his head and then said: "Everyone has been training with all their might recently, just to put Mobai's mind at ease. I believe our performance tomorrow won't let him down!"

"Mm, then you all keep up the good work."

As Su Kexuan said this, she prepared to hang up the phone.

But Wang Zi stopped her, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Miss Su, you said last time that Mobai is recovering quite well?"

"Yes, he is."

"Then is it possible for him to... return to the racing team?"

"I can't answer that for him; you can ask him yourself when you see him tomorrow."

"... Oh."

There was a hint of disappointment in Wang Zi's voice.

Su Kexuan heard it.

She thought for a moment and decided to offer some comfort: "No one can predict what choice Jiang Mobai will make, so don't be too pessimistic."

"Mm."

"Your primary task right now is to focus on the competition. As for the rest, worry about it after the competition."

Wait a minute!

Worry about it?

Wang Zi caught the keyword.

He began to feel uneasy: "Miss Su, are you... implying something?"

"Of course not. Jiang Mobai has always been quite a handful; I'm just used to saying that, don't overthink it."

This...

Wang Zi was already overthinking it!

He even felt that Su Kexuan's explanation was just trying to cover up the truth!

Rolling his eyes, Wang Zi didn't dwell on this topic anymore.

Instead, he flattered Su Kexuan: "These past few days, it's thanks to your careful care that Mobai has been able to recover so well."

"You're too kind."

"Hey, I mean it, you really are!"

After laying the groundwork, Wang Zi brazenly made a request: "Miss Su, your position in Mobai's heart is pivotal. So could you... help put in a good word and let Mobai reignite his desire for the racetrack?"

As soon as Wang Zi's words fell, the other side of the phone fell into silence.

This silence made Wang Zi very uneasy.

He was still wondering if he had been too abrupt.

Just as Wang Zi was about to apologize, Su Kexuan spoke: "The desire in his heart has always been there."

Wang Zi was stunned.

"Jiang Mobai may seem devil-may-care on the surface, but he is a person with a lot of ideas. If he has truly given up... it only means that this is the result of his deep and careful consideration."

Su Kexuan was politely rejecting Wang Zi.

She hoped that Wang Zi could respect Jiang Mobai's choice.

Instead of playing the emotional card to make things difficult for him.

Wang Zi understood Su Kexuan's implication.

He felt a bit panicked.

And also a bit annoyed.

After a soft sigh, he said gloomily: "I understand."

"Still the same thing, focus on the competition."

"Mm, then, you go ahead and get busy, I won't disturb you anymore."

After Wang Zi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Su Kexuan held her phone, feeling a bit regretful.

She should have said some encouraging words to Wang Zi just now.

After all, tomorrow is the practice race.

A bad mood would affect Wang Zi's state.

Su Kexuan thought for a moment and decided to send a message to Wang Zi to make amends.

But the words in the message were typed and deleted, deleted and typed again.

In the end, the text input box became blank.

Su Kexuan's brows were still, unconsciously, twisted into a knot.

The assistant had already caught up with Su Kexuan.

Seeing her so conflicted, the assistant asked, "Boss, is there some trouble at the company?"

Hearing the assistant's words, Su Kexuan realized that she was actually hesitating over a single message.

This was truly not her style.

Su Kexuan did not hesitate again.

She typed the words "Don't overthink it, keep it up" into the dialogue box and sent it to Wang Zi.

Afterward, she put away her phone and calmly instructed the assistant: "The company is fine. President Li of Fengxiang Advertising is coming later; go and get prepared."

"Yes."

"He and Lao Zhong are old acquaintances; have them 'accidentally' run into each other on the first floor."

Upon hearing this, the assistant understood that Su Kexuan was looking to stir up trouble!

The scene when that happened...

It would be unimaginably exciting!

The assistant was even a little expectant!

However, the assistant's expectations fell through.

Because the explosive scene in their imagination did not play out.

The meeting between Lao Zhong and his old friend was calm and uneventful.

Seeing that scene, the assistant even felt that Lao Zhong had truly been smoothed out.

He was content to be a Security Guard until retirement.

But Su Kexuan did not think so.

Through these days of observation, she was instead even more convinced of one thing.

Inside the company, the surveillance of Lao Zhong could not stop.

And outside the company, one could not let their guard down either...

The next day at noon—

After a busy morning, Jiang Mobai could finally rest for a while.

The foreman had ordered boxed lunches.

Among them, there was one for Jiang Mobai.

Although the food in the boxed lunch was not exquisite, the portion was large, it kept him full, and the taste was not bad; Jiang Mobai liked it very much.

Every day when it was time to eat, he even felt a little expectant.

However, just as he was about to tuck in, the sound of high heels hitting the ground interrupted him.

Jiang Mobai looked up.

The moment he saw Su Kexuan, his eyes became very bright.

He even put down his boxed lunch, stood up, and smiled: "Kexuan, why are you here? Are you here to check on the work progress?"

Su Kexuan did not answer immediately; she first stared intently at Jiang Mobai's eyes.

His gaze was calm and serene.

It seemed that the hard work of these past few days had not made him resistant, but rather, he was enjoying it.

Su Kexuan withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and then said: "No, I came to find you."

"Find me?"

"Mm, did you forget that there is a practice race for the racing team today?"

Jiang Mobai had not forgotten.

He had only hoped that Su Kexuan would put this matter to the back of her mind!

But now, the fantasy was shattered...

As soon as Su Kexuan saw Jiang Mobai's shifting gaze, she understood everything.

She did not want to waste more breath on Jiang Mobai; she glanced at her watch and urged: "Time is almost up, let's go."

"But... I still have to help out this afternoon."

"The workers are here; it won't matter if you're missing. Besides, the field where you truly need to strive is the racetrack."

Su Kexuan was reminding Jiang Mobai.

Making him distinguish between primary and secondary matters.

Jiang Mobai understood.

His expression stiffened at once.

Afterward, he turned his head and looked at the workers behind him.

He hoped the workers would ask him to stay.

But...

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as though it had been pricked by a needle.
