After hanging up the phone, Tong Jiangxin quickly glanced out the car window because there were tears in her eyes.
The driver parked the car under the Heng Building. Tong Jiangxin paid and got out of the car, then took the elevator upstairs.
Standing in the elevator, Tong Jiangxin took a deep breath to adjust her emotions. She told herself that it was nothing, it was nothing, it was nothing.
But the more she thought about it, the more her heart became clogged and her nose became sore.
With a ding, the elevator door opened. Tong Jiangxin stepped out and returned to the negotiation department. Not long after she sat down, Liu Yulu came out of the office and asked her to come in.
After arriving at the office, Tong Jiangxin sat on the chair in front of Liu Yulian, and then said, "Minister Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Yulu said, "I just received a notice from above that the Asia-Pacific side is holding an internal cocktail party tonight, but we have also been invited, and the Negotiation Department will send you as a representative to attend."
Tong Jiang said happily, "Does Minister Liu have anything to do tonight?"
The look in Liu Yulu's eyes seemed a little meaningful. She smiled slightly and then said, "Well, yes."
Tong Jiangxin didn't want to go at first, because she no longer wanted to have private contact with McGarlo, but now she felt inexplicably panicked, and there seemed to be a strong voice in her heart shouting, go, why don't you go, everyone else will go
You're having dinner with another woman, why are you stupid enough to keep your distance here?
Thinking like this, Tong Jiangxin angrily agreed.
After leaving Liu Yulu's office, Tong Jiangxin returned to her seat. She could not get rid of the image of Lu Chengxi and the strange woman getting into the car, which made her very upset.
Zhang Tong slid the swivel chair to Tong Jiangxin's side. She held a large bag of snacks in her hand, handed it to Tong Jiangxin, and then said, "What's wrong, Sister Jiang Xin, some people have given you something difficult to do again?"
Tong Jiangxin said, "No."
Zhang Tong said, "Then why do you look unhappy?"
Tong Jiangxin sighed secretly, so her disguise skills were already so bad now. Even Zhang Tong could easily tell that she was angry.
After a few seconds of silence, Tong Jiangxin replied, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with work."
Zhang Tong moved closer to Tong Jiangxin again, and then said, "Eat something. When a woman is angry, she vents her anger on food!"
Tong Jiangxin looked sideways at Zhang Tong and joked, "Why are you getting fatter and fatter? Are you feeling angry lately?"
Zhang Tong immediately frowned and said, "Sister Jiang Xin, please stop irritating me, okay? Who can be like you? No matter how much you eat, you won't get fat, but..."
Zhang Tong looked at Tong Jiangxin, and Tong Jiangxin was furious. Zhang Tong said, "But I see that you have gained some weight recently, but you were too thin before. There is no problem if you gain ten or eight pounds."
No one in Evergrande knew about Tong Jiangxin's pregnancy, and she didn't want to expose the matter. So when Zhang Tong said she was fat, she said sensitively, "It's been cold recently, so I've eaten a lot."
Zhang Tong started chatting with Tong Jiangxin about various things, and Tong Jiangxin's attention was really diverted by Zhang Tong.
Less than an hour later, Tong Jiangxin's cell phone rang. She knew who it was as soon as she saw the number, and her heart felt knotty. Tong Jiangxin didn't want to answer Lu Chengxi's call. After she hung up, she sent a text message:
in a meeting.
Soon, the text message came back: If I pick you up tonight, will you eat at home or go out?
Tong Jiangxin replied: If you have something to do tonight, you don’t have to pick me up.
This time, after the text message was sent for a while, Lu Chengxi didn't reply. Tong Jiangxin thought that her text message was not sent, so she carefully checked the sending box several times before confirming it.
Disgusted to death by her suspicions, and even more bothered by her uneasiness, Tong Jiangxin felt that she was a resentful woman now. She felt that her husband was cheating, but she didn't dare to do anything, so she could only sulk alone.
Sitting in her seat, Tong Jiangxin almost pulled her hair. If it were not for work time, she would really turn around and leave.
About half an hour later, Zhang Guangcheng's secretary upstairs personally came down to the negotiation department to find Tong Jiangxin. Tong Jiangxin thought Zhang Guangcheng had something to do, so she put down what she was doing and followed the secretary to the elevator to the top floor.
The secretary asked Tong Jiangxin to enter Zhang Guangcheng's office. After Tong Jiangxin entered, she did not see Zhang Guangcheng on the office chair. Instead, she saw Lu Chengxi sitting on the sofa to one side.
With obvious surprise in his eyes, Tong Jiang said happily, "Why are you here?"
Lu Chengxi was dressed in a black shirt and trousers, which accentuated his handsome and outrageous face, making him look like Satan.
Standing up, he walked towards Tong Jiangxin and said, "Aren't you in a meeting?"
Tong Jiangxin felt ashamed that she had been caught, but within a few seconds, she raised her eyes, glared at Lu Chengxi and said, "You came to Evergrande just to see if I was in a meeting?!"
Lu Chengxi didn't look very happy either, but he didn't lose his temper. He just said patiently, "What's wrong with you for no reason?"
Tong Jiangxin raised her chin and replied, "What's wrong with me?"
Lu Chengxi looked at Tong Jiangxin's competitive look and said, "It was fine yesterday. Who offended you today?"
Tong Jiangxin said with a half-smile, "Why are you messing with me if you have nothing to do?"
Who else can there be besides you? Tong Jiangxin said in her heart.
Lu Chengxi finally couldn't help but frown slightly, and then said, "Don't laugh when you don't want to. It makes me upset."
Tong Jiang retracted the smile on her face happily and glared at Lu Chengxi. She said displeasedly, "Did you come all the way to Evergrande just to tease me?!"
Lu Chengxi also frowned and replied, "You talk about something and lose your temper for no reason. How do I know what I did wrong?"
Tong Jiangxin opened her mouth subconsciously, but when she faced Lu Chengxi's face, she felt her breath stuck in her throat. She had thousands of words to say, but she didn't know where to start.
What was she going to say? She asked him who the woman was today? Why did he go out with her?
Tong Jiangxin was very afraid of what Lu Chengxi would say. Whether it was an explanation or a cover-up, it was not what she wanted to see.
Lowering her gaze slightly, Tong Jiangxin said casually, "Forget it."
Lu Chengxi frowned and said, "What do you mean forget it? What's there to forget? I don't even know what happened. You have to tell me at least."
Tong Jiangxin was in a bad mood, and she said impatiently, "It's nothing, just think I'm looking for trouble."
Lu Chengxi stared at Tong Jiangxin, and after a long while he said, "You really have nothing to do to make trouble."
There was no emotion or anger in his voice, only helplessness, but Tong Jiangxin suddenly felt angry. She yelled at Lu Chengxi loudly, "My aunt is here. Is it okay if she is in a bad mood?!"
