âYes, but itâs already been resolved. I havenât seen you in a long time. I noticed that there are many new faces in Shengfang.â Zhou Manbai maintained her smile.
Director Qiao saw that she didnât break free and realized that there was a chance, saying, âItâs fated that we met. Why donât we come to my office and catch up?â
âThatâs fine too. I happen to have something to ask of you. I wonder if itâs convenient for you?â Zhou Manbai made things clear.
Director Qiao understood and laughed. âItâs convenient. Come in and talk.â
Director Qiao brought Zhou Manbai into the office and asked the young employee to leave.
Zhou Manbai surveyed her surroundings. She did not care about the sound of Director Qiao closing the door and locking it.
Director Qiao came up to her and pulled her hand to sit on the sofa. âWhatâs bothering you?â he asked. âTell me.â
âI donât think I need to say much about the grudge between me and your President Wen, right?â Zhou Manbai saw that his hands were still roving around, moving onto her lap. She merely glanced at him and did not stop him. âI heard that youâre going to a social gathering with him tonight. Can you do me a favor? Donât worry, itâs definitely not illegal.â
âTell me about it first. Iâll see if I can agree.â
âPut something good in there.â Zhou Manbai whispered a few words into Director Qiaoâs ear before sitting back down. âIâm really too angry. I want to vent my anger. Besides, this kind of thing shouldnât be considered a loss to a man, right?â
âNo loss. Haha, how can it be a loss? Men take advantage of such things.â
However, Director Qiao didnât agree immediately. He was a little hesitant. After all, he was working at Shengfang. It would be fine if the other party didnât know. If he investigated, he would get into trouble for no reason. It would be a shame.
Seeing that he hadnât agreed to it, Zhou Manbai said, âYou were already a director when I met you back then. Youâve been in this position for many years, right? There are so many companies out there fighting for someone as capable as you. Why havenât you been promoted in Shengfang?â
âItâs not that easy. Shengfang has many hidden talents; all of them are powerful.â Director Qiao waved his hand.
âDirector Qiao is so humble,â Zhou Manbai said.
However, what was filling Director Qiao thoughts was that he had been thinking about Zhou Manbai for a long time, but had never had a chance. He might as well agree to it now. She would not be able to control whether he did it or not eventually.
Director Qiao was no less scheming than Zhou Manbai. He would just agree to her request and act according to the situation. He would not lose out even if it did not work out.
âItâs not that I canât help you. What kind of remuneration can you give me, Madam Zhou?â he asked with a smile.
âYouâre treating me like an outsider by calling me âMadamâ. Just call me Manbai. If you agree, you have to help me tonight.â Zhou Manbai put her hand on his shoulder and touched his lips in a pointed manner. âIsnât it too rushed to ask for a reward now?â
âNo rush.â Director Qiao pushed her onto the sofa and easily succeeded.
Seeing that they were progressing in that direction, Zhou Manbai raised her hand to stop him. âDirector Qiao, you havenât done anything yet. Iâm losing out.â
âNot at all. Youâre happy too.â
Director Qiao was unwilling to let go of the goods that were right in front of him. Anyway, the door was locked and he would get his reward first. Zhou Manbaiâs expression turned a little ugly when she saw him getting straight to the point, but she still gave in.
It didnât matter. Anyway, she didnât have to keep her chastity for anyone. For those at her age and with some money, who didnât have a few lovers outside?
As long as Wen Yanqing was defeated, she would not lose out even if it happened ten times, let alone once.
Zhou Manbai was willing to please, and Director Qiao was satisfied.
When she tidied up her clothes and left, she did not forget to arrange a time and place with him to hand the things over to him..
