As if she had been seen through, Secretary Lans embarrassment turned into fury. Her face was completely flushed and she felt extremely angry too.
She looked at Lin Che. "Madam, youre interfering a bit too much. No matter who I dressed up for, you have no right to say anything about it either."
"Ha. I was just asking. If you want to dress up for someone, you have to consider whether or not the person will even look at you."
"You" Secretary Lan had intentionally dressed herself up, but she did not expect Lin Che to notice.
Today, she had, in fact, met Gu Jingze only briefly, just because Gu Jingze had felt unwell the moment he arrived and went to see the doctor.
It was all because of Lin Che that her meticulous style of dress may turn out useless.
Of course, she was angry.
"We dont know yet if he will look at me or now. Perhaps you can see for yourself when President Gu comes later."
Lin Che guffawed.
She was so straightforward. Did that mean it was true?
She knew that everyone felt that it was probably fine for a man like Gu Jingze to have one or two mistresses outside. That was why she behaved so impudently in front of her.
It did not matter to her what these people thought. In any case, it was enough as long as she knew what kind of person Gu Jingze was.
Just then, Gu Jingze came in coincidentally.
Lin Che stood there, facing Secretary Lan with a harsh expression.
As for Secretary Lan, who had always taken her job seriously, there was nothing exceptional about the expression on her face.
Gu Jingze walked in skeptically.
Secretary Lan looked at Gu Jingze. With her earlier words in mind, she smiled from ear to ear as she looked at Gu Jingze. The clothes she was wearing straightened out slightly.
But Gu Jingze did not even glance at her
Her expression soured slightly as a result. She saw that Gu Jingzes eyes were fixed only on Lin Che. "What happened?"
Lin Che scoffed. "Nothing. You can ask your secretary."
Secretary Lans face remained as stoic as ever, except that her expression looked slightly awkward and her smile seemed very awkward as well. "President Gu, its nothing. Madam was just wondering if there was anything going on between you and me something beyond our professional relationship. I said that there wasnt. Madam didnt believe me and even asked me why I dressed up today. I"
She immediately seemed a little aggrieved.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che.
Oh, so she had gotten carried away with jealousy again.
Lin Che scoffed, "That definitely wasnt what you said earlier."
Secretary Lan said, "Im sorry. I did retort rudely and impetuously earlier. But thats exactly how I am. I was a little anxious. I hope Madam wont misunderstand."
Gu Jingze looked at Secretary Lan before glancing at Lin Che. He smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Got it."
He looked at Lin Che, lowered his head, and put his arm around her waist. "Alright. Its nothing. Once Im done, Ill accompany you out today to have fun."
Lin Che looked at him. "Are you saying that you dont believe me right now?"
Gu Jingze paused before looking at her. "How can I not believe you?"
Lin Che said, "This is uncharacteristic of you."
If Gu Jingze genuinely believed her, he would have resolved the matter swiftly and decisively by now, instead of changing the subject like this.
Gu Jingze said, "Yes. I think theres a small misunderstanding on your part."
Lin Che looked at Secretary Lan. "She herself knows whether or not this is a misunderstanding."
Secretary Lan felt even more aggrieved. Her expression was between laughter and tears. "I dressed up a bit because President Gu said yesterday that I should consider my personal issues. I was also thinking about it. As opposed to wasting time outside, perhaps there would be a few targets in the company. Thats why I tried dressing up."
Ha. She said it so
Gu Jingze said, "Thats enough. Secretary Lan, head back first."
Secretary Lan glanced at Lin Che.
It went without saying what this glance meant.
The way she was behaving like the victor made Lin Che feel frustrated.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze only after Secretary Lan went out. "As expected, you dont believe me."
Gu Jingze frowned. "Its true that shes a bit more direct by nature. She was probably disrespectful towards you. I will let her know."
In S City, people dealt with others in a different manner than in B City. The people here placed work and efficiency above all else. They did not quite know how to speak to and deal with people.
