Out of politeness and to prevent Lin Ziqian from rushing into the office to cause a ruckus, Wu Man stood at the side for a while. However, she could not bear to hear the two of them pretend to be polite, and her head ached from the pleasantries. In the end, she did not even greet them and turned to leave.
Li Dongsheng’s gaze had been fixed on Wu Man. Wu Man stood two steps away from the two of them. Now that she had left, he knew that Lin Ziqian, as her husband, had not noticed her at all.
“She’s gone.” Li Dongsheng raised his chin slightly to signal Lin Ziqian. Lin Ziqian turned his head to look at her. Normally, he should have gone after her to comfort her, but now that he had weighed the pros and cons in his heart, he felt that it was better to have a relationship with the mayor, so he did not care at all. Instead, he continued to speak to Li Dongsheng, “Yes, yes. I feel that there is a lot of room for the development of the project just now, and I have been preparing to implement it recently. When the time comes…”
Lin Ziqian casually replied that he knew that the mayor’s connections were more important than Wu Man’s. As for the misunderstood Wu Man? When the time came, he would put in a few good words and send her flowers. He would make sure that she would be extremely touched. Looking at Lin Ziqian’s casual response, Li Dongsheng’s eyes darkened. He was very displeased that the person he treasured was so unappreciated by others.
“We’ll talk about it in the future. It’s almost time. You should go and do your work too.” When Lin Ziqian stopped and racked his brain to think of a way to curry favor with him, Li Dongsheng interrupted him. His expression was always business-like. He did not show his dissatisfaction with Lin Ziqian’s neglect of Wu Man. After a few last words, he excused himself and left on the excuse that he was going to work.
Lin Ziqian was about to invite Li Dongsheng to the company, but he had already written several pages in his mind. Seeing that Li Dongsheng was about to leave, he had no choice but to make an appointment with someone to meet him next time. Li Dongsheng did not intend to talk to him anymore. After a few perfunctory words, he drove away.
Lin Ziqian, who was unwilling to give up, leaned against the open window and said goodbye. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. If the mayor needs my help, just let me know. I’ll do my best.”
Li Dongsheng immediately rolled up the window.
Lin Ziqian stood up straight. He still felt very happy in his heart. As long as Li Dongsheng did not explicitly reject him, there was still a chance. He watched as Li Dongsheng’s car drove far away and disappeared into the corner of the street. Only then did he turn around and directly enter Wu Man’s office. With Wang Jiaojiao’s support, the company was now turning a blind eye to his absence from work.
After thinking for a long time in the car, he decided to come over and ask Wu Man about the matter. He kept it in his heart for no reason, and Lin Ziqian felt extremely uncomfortable. When he reached the door, he realized that he had forgotten something.
“Oh no, I forgot to ask for his contact information!” He slapped his forehead and stood there regretfully. He was only busy trying to get close to Wu Man. If they really wanted to cooperate, where would he invite her over?
Wu Man was working peacefully and trying her best not to think about the incident this morning when her office door was opened. The person grabbed her hand and ordered in an unquestionable tone, “Come with me.”
Wu Man followed obediently. In the empty stairwell, the serious-looking Lin Ziqian pressed her against the wall. His face was so close that Wu Man could even see the thick pores on his face as he enunciated each word clearly, “Tell me honestly; how did you get to know the mayor?”
His questioning words made Wu Man sneer in her heart, but she did not show any sign of weakness on the surface..
