Chapter 775: Ji Ziming changed for that woman.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Ge indeed wanted to settle Jiaheng’s issue fast to return to Beijing.
It could just not be helped that this was not an issue with a quick solution.
Just as it was about to be settled, who knew that someone would throw a wrench in their works, causing a change to the project Jiaheng almost had in its grasp.
Hence, her departure from Tianjin was postponed again.
“Boss, for this project, we suddenly have a new competitor…”
Reading the document in her hands, the expression on her face turned dark.
“Boss, what do you think…”
Her assistant saw her dark face and gulped.
This was the first time he had seen his superior reveal such an expression.
“It’s fine. We should not relax our guard. Tell all the departments to keep their eyes and ears up. We will have a long war to fight…”
She put down the document in her hands as a cold smile crept across her lips.
“Roger, boss. I’ll pass this order down now.”
Seeing her smile, this assistant could not help but shiver in cold fear.
Wu wu wu! Such a boss is truly scary!
“T-Then, I’ll leave now, boss.”
“Mhm.”
At her slight nod, the assistant fled from her office.
Thus, she was left by herself in this huge office.
Knock, knock, knock, knock…
She rhythmically tapped the document on the table with her pen.
Her eyes were still looking at it.
What was written in it was no sensitive information, but…
“Hur… Zhou Zhuoyang…” Seeing the name and company name written in it, her lips turned up into a cold smile.
I didn’t know that the Zhou family’s business has even reached Tianjin , she sarcastically thought inside, feeling that something was off with this.
Having been in the capital and working in the real estate industry for so long, although she could not understand everything about it, she still knew the basics.
One was that the Zhou family’s real estate business was entirely in the capital. Although this city was near it, the man’s family did not show any signs of expanding their business here before.
Now… they were suddenly reaching out to Tianjin’s real estate business, and… they even stumbled upon the same huge project as hers.
Is this a coincidence… or the machination of someone?
“Hur!” As she thought of this, one corner of her lips curled up. “Whether this is a coincidence or not, this project…”
I will win it!
Her eyes revealed a determined look.
She wanted to see for herself who would dare steal such delectable meat from her mouth!
As for Zhou Zhuoyang?
Hur hur! My apologies, but it’s just nice for me to get a chance to make him choke in anger!
Hence, because of her ex-boyfriend’s family, her spirits rose as she was filled with drive.
With this great motivation, the general overseer and every employee of Jiaheng were full of determination to succeed.
“Boss, this is the updated data!”
“Boss, we’ve just received intel about the other company!”
“Boss, the other party expresses their willingness to work with us!”
“Boss…”
All thoughts of her boyfriend left her mind as she buried herself further into her work.
Her desire to win caused her to be caught up with work.
Each time the man called, she would answer him while working.
Whenever she did not understand something or she could not make a decision, she would call him to inquire about it.
This made a certain great CEO feel very depressed.
He started grumbling about his father giving his woman such a tough task.
Look! She had even thrown her boyfriend to the side because of it!
“Pei Ge, can’t you stop working while on the phone with me?”
He finally could not resist complaining to her.
“Ziming, I’m doing this so that we can meet a little earlier. Be obedient! When I’m done with this project, I’ll run back to the capital to meet you! When that time comes, I’ll hang around you every day you won’t be able to chase me away even if you want to!”
While looking at the data in her hand, she split part of her attention to console her boyfriend.
“…”
For some reason, he felt that, right now, he sounded like a petulant wife complaining about being neglected by her workaholic husband.
Yes, she’s that husband who only loves to work. Cough, cough, cough!
“Alright! I have an important meeting coming, so I’ll be hanging up first. Talk to you later tonight.”
With that, she hung up the call and directed all her heart and mind to the work at hand.
Toot, toot, toot…
Listening to the busy tone of the phone, a wave of helplessness and frustration rose in the man’s heart.
“That stupid woman!” he complained, feeling very depressed and stifled inside.
She actually hung up on me just like that!
That stupid woman’s is becoming more and more daring!
Is it because I’m not by her side?
How about… I take a few days off to go to Tianjin?
He was thinking of doing that to teach a certain, stupid and bold woman a lesson when the door to his office was flung open from the outside.
He turned a displeased gaze on to the door to see the person who had barged into his office without knocking first.
“Ziming!”
Before the said person came into view, he heard that voice first.
It was Qiao Jingyun.
His frown deepened.
“I’ve been back for quite some time—”
Wearing a trendy red marten coat, the woman stopped mid-speech as she was met by the man’s reproachful look.
“Get out. Knock,” he coldly ordered.
His icy expression stunned her for a moment. It was the first time he had treated her like this.
“Huh, Ziming? What’s wrong?”
He’s never treated me like this in the past!
He’s really changed now, and it’s all because of that ugly woman! For a mere unsightly woman, he actually… actually changed so much!
