"Mr. Zhou is just joking, you’re the boss, I’m the subordinate, how could you possibly offend me?"
Jiang Qingkui said indifferently, holding Zhou Wang’s hand that started to unconsciously rub, "But if Mr. Zhou continues to harass me like this, don’t blame me for turning hostile."
"Go ahead, turn hostile, either way, you’ve already disregarded me, what’s the difference?"
"You..."
Once again defeated by Zhou Wang’s shamelessness, Jiang Qingkui trembled with anger but quickly regained her composure.
"Is Mr. Zhou going to discuss business after all?"
"Of course we will, but shouldn’t we clear up personal matters first...?"
"There are no personal matters between me and Mr. Zhou to clear up."
"Alright then, if you insist."
Zhou Wang said indifferently, then sighed, "Sister Qingkui, you know, these days because you’re ignoring me, I can’t eat or sleep well, suffering emotional torture every day..."
"So can you stop messing around? I’m really tired lately, I even thought about seeking solace from you, but you seem to completely refuse me, it’s really hurtful..."
The more Jiang Qingkui listened, the more she felt something was wrong, are you claiming to be the aggrieved party now?
"Zhou Wang!"
Jiang Qingkui, finally unable to pretend calm, turned abruptly and pushed Zhou Wang away, gritting her teeth, "I know you have no shame, but I didn’t expect you’d reach this level..."
"What did I do?"
Zhou Wang spread his hands innocently.
"What did you do?"
Jiang Qingkui coldly laughed, "Running off abroad without a word for eight or nine days, Mr. Zhou seems carefree, why care about the lives of your subordinates, Mr. Zhou wouldn’t feel tired, being with a beauty like Miss Yang should keep you full of energy, right?"
Seeing Jiang Qingkui finally express her resentment, Zhou Wang thought to himself, indeed...
On the surface, Jiang Qingkui’s anger was for this reason.
Because Zhou Wang capriciously decided to travel on impulse, messing up many originally planned schedules, Jiang Qingkui, stretched thin, had to become a time management master, running around busily.
For instance, Jiang Qingkui had to attend the Beidou University promotional event rehearsal for Zhou Wang, and had to change an already planned online media interview to a written format since Zhou Wang was absent...
She also had to attend the first meeting for Miao Village development, which was initially her responsibility, but it required a rushed trip to Guizhou and returning the next day.
Then, on the third day, due to organizing the Magic City charity event, Jiang Qingkui flew to Magic City, and flew back on the fourth day...
Besides that, she had numerous trivial matters, like renovations at Jingwang Club, arranging recruitment events, purchasing furniture for Zhou Wang’s new Beidou No.1 Courtyard apartment, and even according to Zhou Wang’s initial instructions, she had to find time to help Jiang Mo look at houses...
In short, while Zhou Wang was abroad for over a week, Jiang Qingkui was extremely busy.
And Zhou Wang hadn’t even mentioned it beforehand; Jiang Qingkui only found out the next day, due to Zhou Wang’s intoxicated state and forgetting to call her...
Without any psychological preparation, naturally Jiang Qingkui was filled with resentment.
However, Zhou Wang, who has a preliminary understanding of women’s minds, knows all these are just superficial issues.
The main reason is still because Zhou Wang traveled with Miss Yang, and the reason was shopping... how could Jiang Qingkui not be jealous?
She worked hard here for Zhou Wang, while Zhou Wang was abroad with another woman who had divorced, plus her complex feelings that had developed towards Zhou Wang, anyone would find it intolerable!
In fact, Jiang Qingkui still managed to not let this delay any important matters, only ignored Zhou Wang privately, which was already very restrained.
Actually, there’s a third reason, thanks to Xu Wenqian, she promptly informed Zhou Wang...
Retracting his thoughts, Zhou Wang lightly coughed and solemnly said, "Qingkui, Miss Yang and I are innocent, I can prove it to you if you don’t believe me."
Initially, Jiang Qingkui expected Zhou Wang to say something like swearing an oath, but hearing he could prove it, she was momentarily bewildered, how was he going to prove it?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wang pulled out his phone and directly called Miss Yang.
Before Jiang Qingkui could stop him, the call was already connected, and Miss Yang’s signature sweet and sticky voice came on the line:
"Hello, Zhou Wang, why are you calling me out of the blue, I’m still on set, if it’s not urgent, call me back when I return to the hotel tonight..."
"It’s urgent, are you available?"
"Hold on a moment."
Hearing it was urgent, Miss Yang immediately walked further away, then picked up the phone again, "Go ahead."
"I miss you."
Zhou Wang said directly.
Jiang Qingkui’s brow twitched, her face showing anger just appearing, when Miss Yang on the other side, after a moment of stillness, laughed and said:
"You must be crazy, is your urgent business making me laugh?"
"No, I’m serious..."
"Stop messing around!"
Miss Yang didn’t believe it at all, as if she could see him rolling his eyes over the phone: "If you really missed me, what were you doing abroad, I gave you so many opportunities and you didn’t take them..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingkui’s initially angry expression had become subtle.
She believed this call wasn’t a setup between Zhou Wang and Miss Yang, Zhou Wang wouldn’t be so boring, plus Miss Yang’s tone was very natural...
