Chapter 1228: Awakened 8
Jiang Meili’s eyes flickered, and then she chuckled softly.
"Is President Cheng trying to play matchmaker?"
Cheng Junnan laughed, his voice low and gentle, "I could!"
Jiang Meili was taken aback again, then burst into laughter.
Cheng Junnan, however, wiped the smile off his face and looked at her seriously.
"Secretary Jiang must feel unsatisfied! Or perhaps, even though that man abandoned your relationship, he’s still in Secretary Jiang’s heart!"
Jiang Meili wanted to refute, but the words got stuck in her throat, or perhaps every time she thought of that man, her anger and sarcasm boiled up, rendering her speechless.
Cheng Junnan looked at her and smiled slightly.
"If that man were a good man, I would definitely encourage Secretary Jiang to keep fighting for him! But clearly, he isn’t a good man, so... Secretary Jiang, learn to let go!"
Jiang Meili was stunned, looked at Cheng Junnan, and suddenly laughed.
"Is President Cheng saying this to me, or to himself as well?"
Cheng Junnan shook his head, looking serious: "Of course, it’s for you. As my secretary, I naturally hope both your work and feelings go smoothly, so you’ll be in a better mental state to work."
"As for me... Tian Tian is a good girl, worth waiting for!"
Jiang Meili: "..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Cheng Junnan glanced at Jiang Meili, who stood up and turned to look towards the door.
Entering the room were Gu Yunyun and her agent Song Shi. Gu Yunyun had a charming smile, while Song Shi frowned slightly, his expression somewhat awkward.
"President Cheng!"
Cheng Junnan nodded and looked at Song Shi, "You leave first."
Song Shi let out a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and left.
Jiang Meili was about to leave too, but was stopped by a gaze from Cheng Junnan.
"Miss Gu is here to discuss the contract?"
Seeing Cheng Junnan still addressing her as Miss Gu, Gu Yunyun felt very discontented, but with Secretary Jiang present, she couldn’t exactly act spoiled.
"Brother Cheng, I—"
"Miss Gu, this is the company, and it’s working hours; please mind your words and actions!"
Jiang Meili timely interrupted, a flicker of coldness in Gu Yunyun’s eyes, but seeing that Cheng Junnan did not reprimand Jiang Meili, she had no choice but to switch her tone.
"President Cheng, don’t take my dad’s words at Jufu Garden seriously that day. I’m an adult with my own ideas. His thoughts are stuck in their generation, and our perspectives are different, so he doesn’t understand my thinking well."
Looking at the gentle and amiable Cheng Junnan, Gu Yunyun was tempted to throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly, hoping the words like gentle and jade wouldn’t let him care about her dad’s words.
However, Jiang Meili still hadn’t left, she...
"President Cheng, what I’m saying is—"
Cheng Junnan looked at Gu Yunyun warmly, his voice cool, with a faint sense of detachment that Gu Yunyun found very annoying.
"As far as I know, Uncle Gu is currently bedridden, lacking people to take care of him. As a daughter, Miss Gu should be by his bedside showing filial piety."
The words Gu Yunyun wanted to say got blocked back by Cheng Junnan.
If she didn’t go along with what Cheng Junnan said, in his eyes, it would be seen as unfilial.
And all the effort she had shown as a gentle, virtuous, and filial daughter in front of Cheng Junnan would instantly dissolve into foam.
But truly going back, she was unwilling, making all her efforts for nothing.
