After one night of indulgence, the abstinent tycoon kissed her every night with his hand on her hip.

When Qin Man saw Ling Jingyuan walking towards her, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

She didn't take Jiang Zhi, that little designer, seriously at all. That woman wasn't wearing a single designer item, wasn't the most beautiful type, and didn't seem to have any family background.

As for her relationship with Ling Jingyuan, it was just that Ling Jingyuan was indulging in a fleeting, novel affair.

It's normal for men, especially men at their level and in their circle.

She wouldn't mind; her goal wasn't the length of time, but to permanently take this man and become the wife of the Ling family's president.

Thinking of this, Qin Man adjusted her expression and put on what she considered her most charming smile as she walked towards Ling Jingyuan.

"Mr. Ling, it's been a long time."

Ling Jingyuan looked at the woman in front of him with a cold expression, nodded slightly, and then went straight into the conference room.

Qin Man was slightly taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly followed the man who entered the conference room. Everyone else exchanged glances and followed as well.

In the conference room, Jiang Zhi frowned slightly as she watched Qin Man suddenly leave.

She's seen all kinds of clients in her three years of work, and now she's used to it all.

She glanced at the building's curtain wall designers and had to start coordinating with them on the curtain wall details and installation. Regardless of Qin Man's attitude, Jiang Zhi hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit today.

Good communication regarding installation milestones ensures smooth progress of later construction and facilitates a successful handover of the project to new colleagues.

The two parties were communicating in the meeting room when a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Ling Jingyuan, dressed in a black bespoke suit and wearing a tie that Jiang Zhi recognized very well, looked at Jiang Zhi in the conference room with a gentle expression.

Everyone in the meeting was surprised to see Ling Jingyuan at the meeting room door, even Jiang Zhi was a little stunned.

What's Ling Jingyuan doing here?

Ling Jingyuan didn't come in; he just stood at the door, looking at Jiang Zhi with gentle eyes. He silently said a few words to her, then gently shook his phone before leaving.

Jiang Zhi was a little dazed and nervous.

She tried hard to control herself and appear calm as if nothing had happened, but her heart was in turmoil.

Qin Man followed behind Ling Jingyuan, glanced at Jiang Zhi with disgust, and then turned to chase after Ling Jingyuan.

Jiang Zhi slowly withdrew her gaze. Qin Man, also a woman, looked at her with a gaze that made it easy for her to guess what was going on, considering what had happened before.

She let out a soft breath, not taking Qin Man's matter to heart.

Isn't trust the most important thing between a boyfriend and girlfriend? She trusts Ling Jingyuan, but if this man were to betray their relationship one day, she would turn away no matter how painful it would be.

If a relationship can't even achieve the most basic commitment of being unique and devoted, then what's the point of it?

Just as Jiang Zhi was lost in thought, her phone on the table vibrated. She picked it up and glanced at it, only to find that it was a message from Ling Jingyuan.

Ling Jingyuan: I'm in the next conference room. I'll pick you up after you finish get off work.

Jiang Zhi looked at the man's message, her eyes softening slightly. She replied with a message, and the meeting resumed in the conference room.

Qin Man originally came here to make things difficult for Jiang Zhi, and now that she's gone, how can the other people in charge of this project continue?

Especially after seeing the relationship between Ling Jingyuan and Jiang Zhi, everyone became even more polite to Jiang Zhi.

The entire communication meeting went smoothly. Jiang Zhi tried his best to remove himself from the project and let the newly responsible colleague take over. The meeting ended half an hour later.

The meeting room next door.

Ling Jingyuan lazily fiddled with his phone, ignoring Qin Man who was trying to start a conversation.

Qin Man looked at Ling Jingyuan, who was sitting there silently playing on his phone without saying a word, yet whose handsome charm was still undeniable. The desire to conquer hidden deep in her eyes grew stronger.

A man like that only brings a sense of accomplishment when conquered and won over.

"Ling..."

Qin Man used her golden face to strike a perfect 45-degree angle, and opened her mouth with a confident and charming expression.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan glanced at the woman indifferently and interrupted her with an icy tone, "Mr. Qin, you don't need to be so polite and wait for my girlfriend with me."

Qin Man's words were cut off by the man's words. She was slightly taken aback and her face showed some embarrassment. She quickly composed herself and smiled slightly.

She heard Ling Jingyuan's words clearly; the man hurriedly left with an awkward remark.

Ling Jingyuan watched Qin Man leave with a cold look in his eyes and then looked away with some disgust.

He glanced at the time, picked up his phone, and quickly left the meeting room.

Jiang Zhi had just finished her work session, and she and her new colleague, who was in charge of her work, had just finished packing up and were leaving the meeting room when they bumped into Ling Jingyuan.

"it's over?"

When Ling Jingyuan saw Jiang Zhi's expression brighten, his tone softened.

"Mm." Jiang Zhi nodded slightly. She was still a little unaccustomed to interacting with Ling Jingyuan in front of the public like this.

"That's perfect, your girlfriend's off work now."

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, he stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Zhi's hand, and pulled her away. It was already past 5:30 PM, the time when people were supposed to get off work.

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, but luckily her colleague was quick-witted. He glanced at Jiang Zhi and said with a smile, "Engineer Jiang, I'll take the computer back. See you on Monday."

Jiang Zhi could only nod upon hearing this, because Ling Jingyuan had already pulled her several meters away.

Previously, everyone had only heard about Ling Jingyuan standing up for Jiang Zhi at the design institute, but now they were witnessing Ling Jingyuan, the president of Ling Corporation, personally coming to their Yaokun Group to wait for his girlfriend to get off work.

Now everyone is even more certain about this.

It seems the rumors are true; the president of Ling's Group really is in a relationship with a junior designer.

Today, Ling Jingyuan forcefully declared his sovereignty through his actions.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before news of him and Jiang Zhi spread throughout the capital, which was exactly the result he wanted.

He wanted to tell everyone that Jiang Zhi was Ling Jingyuan's woman!

And Ling Jingyuan is already taken.

*

Zhou's Group.

The CEO's office.

Since recovering from his fever, Zhou Siye has immediately thrown himself back into work, and the recent major projects have indeed taken a toll on his energy.

He glanced at the empty coffee cup beside him, his eyes darkening.

Ever since Lin Li went to his home to take care of him when he was sick, he noticed that the woman had become increasingly cold towards him. It seemed that apart from their working relationship, the woman didn't want to have any other connection with him.

Zhou Siye noticed that he felt vaguely uncomfortable with Lin Li's transformation and changes.

He pressed the intercom and asked Lin Li to bring him a cup of coffee. The person who answered the phone was indeed Xiao Zhang from the secretary's office.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment, I'll send it to you right away."

Hearing Xiao Zhang's voice, Zhou Siye frowned slightly. At this time, Lin Li should be here. Where is Lin Li?

"Where is Lin Li?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang hurriedly began to explain: "Mr. Zhou, two hours ago, Sister Lin received a call from home saying that her father had suddenly fainted and was seriously ill and hospitalized. She rushed to the airport. She should have sent you a message..."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhou Siye hung up the phone in a deep voice, picked up his phone, and looked at the leave request email that Lin Li had sent earlier, his eyes filled with emotion.
