Love? Tong Jiangxin suddenly had an impulse that was so sad that she almost wanted to laugh. If she had fantasies about love before, then after experiencing so many things, she no longer dared to do so. The so-called love really didn't exist.
It's just a matter of looking at the situation and weighing the pros and cons. In the end, you still have to put your personal interests first.
Liao Jianing saw the look in Tong Jiangxin's eyes, and she sighed secretly. No matter what she said about this kind of thing, it all depended on how Tong Jiangxin did it.
The two of them were sitting in a Starbucks store, next to a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window. It was already the autumn season, and even though the sunshine outside looked bright, it was not warm, just like Tong Jiangxin's heart.
Liao Jianing said, "I can help you deceive Uncle Cheng and the people in your company, but you can never deceive yourself. This matter ultimately depends on you."
Tong Jiangxin knew in her heart that Liao Jianing told her to find someone to rely on, but she was really confused.
Slowly speaking, Tong Jiangxin said tiredly, "Jianing, you know me, I can't face the fact that I have such a past."
Liao Jianing knew that Tong Jiangxin was referring to the relationship between her and Lu Chengxi.
Opening his mouth, Liao Jianing said firmly, "This is not of your own free will. Besides, it's just a breakup after a love affair. What's the big deal? Now you have searched all over Hong Kong and there are still a few people like you.
Are you still a virgin at your age?!"
Tong Jiangxin frowned slightly, as if she was poked somewhere by Liao Jianing's words, but Liao Jianing's words were not rough.
Seeing Tong Jiangxin's face slightly moved, Liao Jianing said again, "Just believe me. If you keep clinging to this and refusing to take a step forward, then you will never be able to escape from Lu Chengxi's hand in your life. You can only find one
You can protect your man so that you can escape from his control forever."
Escape forever...
Tong Jiangxin was inexplicably touched by these two words, which touched the softness of her heart. A sour pain came over her, making her frown slightly.
While the two were talking, Tong Jiangxin's cell phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw that the caller displayed on the screen was Mike.
Tong Jiangxin looked at Liao Jianing subconsciously, and then said, "It's Mike."
Liao Jianing quickly realized what Tong Jiangxin meant, and she replied loudly, "He called me and I said that your company sent you on a business trip, not to mention that you were with me."
Tong Jiangxin nodded, then picked up the phone and whispered, "mike".
McGaro's voice came from the phone, "Jiang Xin, your phone is on."
Tong Jiangxin felt apologetic in her heart, and she said aloud, "I'm sorry, I didn't turn on the phone a few days ago."
McGuarloh said, "It's okay. I know you are on a business trip. I thought you had something to do at first."
This feeling of being remembered made Tong Jiangxin feel heartbroken. She pursed her lower lip and said, "I didn't say hello to you, so I made you worried."
McGaro said, "It's good to know you're okay. By the way, you're back already?"
Tong Jiangxin hummed, and then added, "Jia Ning and I are drinking coffee together."
McGaro said, "How about calling Mingyang tonight and the four of us have a meal together?"
Tong Jiang said happily, "Okay, then I'll ask Jianing if he's free."
After saying that, Tong Jiangxin reached out to block the microphone, then raised her eyes to look at Liao Jianing opposite, who nodded casually.
Tong Jiangxin then said to her cell phone, "It's okay on Jia Ning's side."
McGaro replied, "Okay, I'll contact Mingyang later, and I'll see you in Bona after get off work in the evening."
Tong Jiangxin answered and then hung up the phone.
Liao Jianing said, "Jiang Xin, Mike is very good to you. He also called me in the past few days when you were away. He is very worried about you. Please consider taking a look."
Something flashed in Tong Jiangxin's eyes, remembering that McGaro had indeed mentioned this matter to her before, but she refused because she was not ready yet.
Tong Jiang opened his thin lips and said happily, "Mike is a good person, but I am not suitable for him."
Liao Jianing looked at Tong Jiangxin and she said, "What's not suitable? Is it just because of Lu Chengxi?"
Hearing Lu Chengxi's name, Tong Jiangxin felt a lump in her throat. She frowned slightly and then said, "Mike is the second son of Yatai. Even if his marriage is not ordered by his parents, at least he must find a woman with a clean family background."
It’s impossible for a child to be like me.”
Liao Jianing also frowned and said, "What's going on in this world? We just have to see if we are compatible together. You think too much."
Tong Jiangxin replied in a low voice, "Don't talk about individuals, just talk about the grievances between the Tong family and the Lu family. Do you think Mike's father will agree to my dating his son?"
Liao Jianing met Tong Jiangxin's gaze, and she suddenly couldn't answer with certainty.
I have to say that this is an insurmountable reality. Everyone is here for profit and self-preservation. No one will give up everything for the so-called love. This is especially obvious for businessmen.
Seeing that Liao Jianing was speechless, Tong Jiangxin smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about me, I know what to do."
Liao Jianing looked worried. If Tong Jiangxin knew how to take care of herself, she wouldn't have ended up like this. She was just too kind and didn't want to hurt anyone, so she got herself covered in bruises.
Because both of them had a short lunch break, after sitting for a while, they separated in front of Hengmao and then returned to their own companies.
In the afternoon, Tong Jiangxin was called to the office by Liu Yulu. Tong Jiangxin said, "Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Yulu replied, "Didn't you and Zhang Tong follow up on two cases of Asia Pacific and Lu's subsidiaries at the same time? There is a dinner party at Lu's tonight and they want us to send someone there. Do you have time?"
"
Tong Jiangxin subconsciously thought of Lu Chengxi. The person she least wanted to see now was him.
Shaking her head, Tong Jiangxin replied, "I already have an appointment tonight."
Something flashed across Liu Yulu's eyes quickly, but she didn't make things more difficult. She just said, "Okay, okay, I'll ask Zhang Tong to go there. This can be regarded as attending on your behalf."
Tong Jiangxin nodded, and Liu Yulu had nothing else to do, so she let her out.
When Tong Jiangxin got off work in the evening, as soon as she walked out of the door of Evergrande, she saw McGarlo driving his car and waiting for her at the door.
He did not shy away from the hot glances of the people passing by. He stepped out of the car and greeted Tong Jiangxin with a smile, "Jiang Xin."
Tong Jiangxin caught a glimpse of Evergrande colleagues looking towards her from the corner of her eye. She responded and quickly got into the passenger seat.
