Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Ding Heng spoke sincerely.

Longhe remained silent for a few seconds, his anger subsided slightly, but his grievances became more and more obvious.

"Ding Heng, there's no need for that! I rejected you last time because I hadn't thought things through, not because I wanted to embarrass you. We've known each other for so many years, when have I ever really fallen out with you?"

Besides... if you really want something, you can just come to me directly. There's no need to pressure me with work."

"Good good!"

Ding Heng comforted him gently, then asked again, "Where are you now?"

Long He instantly became alert.

Why are you asking this?

"I'll come over and explain to you."

"Can't you explain over the phone?"

"Didn't you not believe it?"

Long He remained silent.

Ding Heng continued, "I'll first have someone reinstate your right to use your private jet. Employee salaries will continue to be paid as usual, and the audit of accounts will not affect your normal work."

"and then?"

"Let's meet and have a proper talk."

Long He fell silent again.

Ding Heng could even imagine Long He's reaction at that moment.

He was probably frowning, muttering to himself that he was despicable and shameless, while also having uncontrollable wild thoughts.

At the last dinner, Longhe refused Ding Heng's so-called unspoken rules.

Now that she has proposed a meeting, she naturally suspects that Ding Heng might be planning to use a more direct approach.

"brother?"

Ding Heng shouted.

"Who's your brother?"

Longhe stubbornly retorted.

"Miss Long, may I ask where you are now?"

"..."

Do you still want a private jet?

"capital."

Long He finally gave in: "I've been recording a program in the capital these past few days, and I have rehearsals this afternoon."

Send me the address.

"You're really coming?"

"Ah."

"So you came alone?"

"nonsense!"

"besides……"

She hesitated.

"Speak your mind."

"Never mind, let's talk when we meet."

The call was abruptly ended, leaving Ding Heng both amused and exasperated.

My brother is still the same awkward guy.

He tossed his phone back onto the bedside table, raised his right hand, aimed at Lin Man, and slapped her hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Man's body trembled slightly, and she was completely wide awake.

Instead of getting angry, she turned around, lay limply beside Ding Heng's legs, and looked up with a flattering smile.

"Boss, what time is it?"

"Don't play dumb."

Ding Heng pinched her chin, applying slight pressure: "Who told you to ground the Longhe private jet?"

"The company recently adjusted its asset usage guidelines. As private jets are important fixed assets, their usage rights naturally need to be reviewed again."

Lin Man explained in a very serious manner.

"What about your salary?"

"It's just a postponement of the approval process, not a real halt."

"Auditing the accounts?"

"It's just a normal financial audit."

Lin Man's answer was watertight, and she even showed a hint of grievance: "Boss, Hengbai Capital is growing bigger and bigger now. We can't keep managing it like a small workshop, can we? The necessary systems definitely need to be improved."

"Don't give me that."

Ding Heng gently patted her cheek: "Did Long He offend you?"

"No."

"Then why are you making a fuss about her?"

Lin Man smiled even more charmingly: "She made the boss unhappy. As his secretary, I have to share his burdens, right?"

"Who told you I'm unhappy?"

"The boss was really mean to me when he came back that night!"

Lin Man hugged Ding Heng's arm and gently pressed her cheek against it: "This is the first time I've seen the boss get rejected by a woman. I couldn't help but want to give the big star a little reminder for the boss."

"What reminder?"

"Remind her to recognize who the real benefactor is."

Ding Heng was both annoyed and amused.

The vixen was indeed becoming increasingly adept at understanding his thoughts.

Although things went too far, it's not fair to say he was completely dissatisfied.

"Don't go too far."

Ding Heng cautioned, "Long He is, after all, my brother. I don't want to embarrass her too much."

"Know it!"

Lin Man nodded obediently.

Ding Heng threw off the covers and got up, preparing to get out of bed to wash up.

Zhao Yanxi had just vaguely heard the conversation, rubbed her eyes, and sat up.

"Brother Ding Heng, are you going to the capital to find Long He?"

"Ah."

"Then I want to go too."

"Where are you going?"

"Looking for Xiaojingjing? I haven't seen her in ages!"

Zhao Yanxi made up any excuse, but she just wanted to stay by Ding Heng's side.

"Ha... then I'll go back too."

Hua Qing breathed sleepily, "The troupe still has rehearsals to do..."

"Sigh, I'm all alone in Hong Kong again."

Only Lin Man sighed.

She composed herself, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and said, "Boss, I'll arrange your private jet this afternoon."

"No need for private jets."

Ding Heng stretched and said, "Book me the next available commercial flight, and keep it low-key."

"clear."

Lin Man nodded, feeling a pang of jealousy in her heart.

Is the boss so eager to see Longhe?

Indeed, what you can't have always stirs your heart...

Chapter 350: As Sisters? As Brothers? (Combined Chapter)

Upon arriving in the capital, Ding Heng did not immediately go to find Long He, but instead first sent Zhao Yanxi and Hua Qing back to their residence.

After a long and tiring morning, Hua Qing felt exhausted and sleepy after entering the house, so she went back to her room to rest.

Zhao Yanxi, however, was full of energy, wandering around the house and looking around.

Ding Heng went back to his room to change his clothes and prepared to go out again.

Zhao Yanxi leaned closer and asked, "Brother Ding Heng, are you coming back tonight?"

"I think so?"

"Shall we have dinner together?"

"Hmm... Wenjing is in the capital, call her back."
