Without waiting for her sister-in-law to ask further questions, Sophie took the initiative to explain, "Sister Xiaoman was able to escape safely this time, thanks to Mr. Li's help."
"He was there in the morning, and it was he who used his identity as a lawyer to help Sister Xiaoman as a guarantee, and thus she was successfully released on bail."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I know what you are worried about. This matter is not as complicated as you think."
"You can stay and work here with peace of mind. There is no need to feel guilty. The relationship between you and the Zhao family cannot be hidden from anyone."
"As long as you have a clear conscience, you don't need to care about other people's opinions."
The sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, "What about this cooperation?"
Sophie shook her head, "You can say no to Mr. Li for me. Just say that I have other considerations and don't want to rent this store for the time being."
The sister-in-law opened her mouth, but hesitated to say: "Actually, Mr. Li is a nice person, and his reputation in the company is also very good. Everyone at the top and bottom of the company likes him very much."
"It's a pity that Xiaodong is not in Tianzhou this time. If he had followed us, this matter might not have been so troublesome."
While he was talking, Yu Xiaoman drove over.
Sophie waved her hand, "Okay, sister-in-law, go back to work quickly. I'm leaving first."
Back in the car, Yu Xiaoman drove away smoothly.
It wasn't until her sister-in-law's figure disappeared from sight that she asked doubtfully: "Xiao Fei..."
Sophie rubbed her temples, "I know what you want to say. How can there be so many coincidences in this world?"
"My sister-in-law wanted to find a job, so she ended up joining his company."
"I wanted to find a store, but it turned out that this store is also owned by his company."
"This person is deliberately approaching me, I can tell, but he doesn't have any bad intentions at the moment."
Yu Xiaoman asked again, "What about cooperation?"
Sophie shook her head, "Nothing to do. I made it clear to my sister-in-law just now and asked her to reject Mr. Li for me."
Yu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure just now disappeared.
Sophie was speechless, "Sister Xiaoman, what's your expression?"
Yu Xiaoman smiled bitterly, "I'm scared!"
"This Li Lang is obviously here for you. If this cooperation is really concluded, wouldn't it be inviting a wolf into the house?"
"Your Zhao Dong is a jealous person. He is not in Tianzhou now. How many days will he have to feed me with my internal organs when he comes back?"
Sophie sneered, "He dares!"
"If he can't help me with my matter, shouldn't he let others help me?"
"His own Cathay and Jiang Yingyang are over there, and I haven't caused any trouble for him. What right does he have to make irresponsible remarks to me?"
"Don't say there is no cooperation between me and Li Lang. What if there is cooperation between us?"
"I, Sophie, act upright and sit upright. It's not easy to work alone. Do we still have to look at his face?"
"If he was really capable, he would have kept me at home so that I wouldn't have to come out to the public eye!"
Yu Xiaoman smiled bitterly. He could hear that Sophie was also saying angry words.
If you really don't care about Zhao Dong's feelings, the cooperation has probably been negotiated, so why would you need to ask your sister-in-law to decline politely?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoman asked: "What should we do next?"
"Mr. Dong is still waiting, and we don't have much time left!"
Sophie sighed, "Let's go and look for it again. There are so many business districts in Tianzhou, but it's not just that one store!"
The scenery outside the car window was rushing, but Sophie felt a little tired.
She didn't think it was anything before, but after experiencing what happened today, she found that she was still careless and her thoughts were a little naive.
At first, I didn't let Zhao Dong get involved because I wanted to do something alone.
It sounds easy, but in reality it’s not that easy?
Especially a married woman like her, who not only has to deal with business troubles, but also has to take care of all kinds of looks, pay attention to other people's comments, and keep a distance from other members of the opposite sex!
Otherwise, the slightest mistake will have an impact on the Zhao family and bring criticism to her husband!
She can take the initiative to keep a distance from other people, but Tianzhou is so big, and all kinds of relationships are complicated. If she wants to avoid it, can she really avoid it completely?
Thinking of the end, Sophie couldn't help but sigh. Why is it so difficult for women to start a career?
And Sophie doesn’t know why she always has a premonition that she will deal with this Li Lang again!
On the other side, my sister-in-law also returned to the company at the same time.
After a brief hesitation in his seat, he finally knocked on Li Lang's office!
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, especially where there are women, all kinds of gossip are inevitable.
When the door closed, there was a lot of discussion in the company.
Someone gossiped: "What do you think is going on with Sister Wang? She is usually so nice, but why was she so serious to us just now? Why is she so distracted now?"
"And did you notice that she didn't seem to like hearing us talk about the speculation between that woman and Mr. Li just now?"
Someone said firmly: "What else can happen? He must have fallen in love with our Mr. Li, but he was hit and stimulated by the woman just now."
Some people exclaimed: "No way, Sister Wang is already very old, she must be in her early 30s, right?"
"I heard that she has a husband and children, how could she have a crush on Mr. Li?"
"Although Sister Wang is quite beautiful and still has charm, but compared with the young lady just now, she is far behind, right?"
Someone curled their lips and said, "Mr. Li is so good, don't you like it?"
"Besides, as long as Sister Wang joins the company, it's no wonder that Mr. Li takes such good care of him. I don't blame her for having such a misunderstanding."
While gossiping outside, Li Lang was dealing with official duties at hand, "Sister Wang, what can I do for you?"
The sister-in-law hesitated briefly and handed over what she had just prepared.
Li Lang looked at the result and asked with some surprise: "You want to resign? Why?"
The sister-in-law was hesitant to speak, and said prevaricatingly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that I am not qualified for this job."
"Besides, I have some problems at home. I'm sorry, Mr. Li, for betraying your cultivation and trust in me!"
Li Lang raised his head and asked: "If I guess correctly, the reason why you want to resign is because of Sophie, right?"
"What are you worried about? I'm worried that I have ill intentions towards Sophie and will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in the Zhao family."
"It was because of Sophie that your identity was exposed."
"You were afraid that I would take advantage of you and the Zhao family, so you resigned?"
The sister-in-law stood there, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Li Lang guessed both reasons correctly!
The first reason is because of Sophie!
She was worried that Li Lang had some unrealistic thoughts about Sophie, and worried that it would be difficult for Sophie to refuse because of her relationship.
Sophie is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and the two of them must always stand on a united front.
If he is still working under Li Lang, what if Li Lang really has any thoughts about Sophie?
How should she handle herself?
As for the second reason, Li Lang guessed it right, it was because of the Zhao family!
