Chapter 367: Status Higher Than Her

Dad, I really have no other intentions, and I just treat her as an ordinary friend.

Ordinary friend? Can an ordinary friend go to her place in the middle of the night? Can an ordinary friend make you drop everything and recklessly rush forward?

Xiao Yunzhe basically had no room to argue, because he finally realized that he might actually have fallen for this girl.

But in front of Xiao Ming, he still couldn't say all of these things.

Dad, I know, I messed up this time.

You mainly tell me, in your heart now, do you consider her position to be more important...?

Xiao Ming eventually still asked for that person's name, although he knew that for Xiao Yunzhe, it was absolutely a difficult choice to make.

But there's no way around it; given the circumstances, he also has to make some choices, otherwise, it would probably be disadvantageous for anyone.

Dad, won't I answer this question for you?

No, you must answer this question for me, and immediately, right now, I need your answer.

Alright, although we haven't been together long, I only have one point: I never really lie in front of you. If you insist I make a choice, my only thought is that right now, Zong Mengni truly holds a higher place in my heart than Geng Jing Shu does.

Finally, Xiao Yunzhe still spoke his answer, and after saying that, he didn't continue speaking, just let out a helpless sigh.

Indeed, fear brings what is feared; Xiao Ming felt that now there was no point anymore.

Xiao Ming knew that emotional issues were still very important, but once this man truly fell into a woman's emotional life, he could not extricate himself, something he had deeply experienced before.

Fine, if that's the case, I have nothing to say either; then what about Geng Jing Shu—how do you plan to explain things to her?

Well, since things have come to this point, I don't want to hide too much from her, but for now it's not the best opportunity; I'd like to wait until all the company's work schedules are back on track, and then I'll proactively bring up this request to her.

You have your own plans; I believe you can handle them. Alright, I don't want to interfere further in these matters—do as you see fit.

Regarding Xiao Yunzhe's emotional choice, Xiao Ming couldn't advise him again, so he could only shake his head helplessly and then directly entered the office.

Xiao Yunzhe stood in the hallway for a long time, as if only then suddenly remembering that he still had many important things to do, so he hurried back to Wu Laoshi's office.

Today, there is still a full day left until his deadline, and under normal operation, Wu Laoshi came over to check on me; the overall progress of the matter should be very satisfactory to Xiao Ming.

That company has been quietly established; although it hasn't been officially announced yet, he knows that at its current scale, if it runs successfully, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Next are some trivial procedural matters; Xiao Ming believes that if these two people handle them, there will definitely be no problem.

Although he is somewhat worried about Xiao Yunzhe's emotional situation, under these circumstances he can't continue to investigate here; if he truly believes all of this, he would actually be fairly satisfied.

Most importantly, he must stabilize Zong Long's side, and he has a thought: if Zong Long is truly being deceived by others, then could he really bring Zong Long under control at this point?

He glanced at the wall clock; it was already nine o'clock, and moreover, the two mysterious people who came here still had about half a day; if they proceeded normally, they should officially land at the port at five in the afternoon.

So Xiao Ming must make use of today's time to meet with Zong Long properly, and then plan the next steps with him.

Finally, he drove straight to Zong Long's company; upon arrival, it was basically smooth sailing, after all, those people already knew him.

When he arrived at Zong Long's office, he lightly knocked on the door, and then Zong Long opened the door from inside.

When he saw Xiao Ming appearing here, Zong Long was actually not surprised at all, because he knew that the one who couldn't sit still should be Xiao Ming, not himself.

Hehe, who would I be then? It turns out General Manager Xiao is honoring me with his presence; General Manager Xiao, why didn't you give me a heads-up earlier? At the very least, I could have arranged for my subordinates to give you a proper reception.

As he spoke, Xiao Ming walked straight out from inside, merely giving a faint smile, then looked around the room.

He saw that everything in the room had been completely cleared out, then divided into several boxes, sorted by category and placed near the wall corners.

But from this, Xiao Ming could already tell that Zong Long was apparently eager to leave this place.

Given the current situation, I haven't yet formally taken over this company, yet he has already made all these arrangements; one can imagine how urgent and impatient his feelings are at this moment.

How so? General Manager Zong, are you planning to leave this place?

It's not about leaving; it's to vacate this office. Moreover, you know the company's office conditions are already tight, and this office of mine is the most luxurious here, so naturally I'm also willing to give this office to General Manager Xiao.

Hehe, General Manager Zong, you're really being courteous.

While speaking, they continued walking forward, then kicked each box lightly with their feet.

He found that the inside felt heavy, as if it had been stuffed full of various items.

This is clearly evident: Zong Long is not simply trying to vacate the office, but rather genuinely expressing an intention to flee.
