Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 360 Jiang Xing's conscience is at play.

For the next three days, Jiang Xing neither saw Lou Qi nor heard his name.

If it weren't for the subtle, unusual politeness and furtive glances from her colleagues at Minglou Group, she would have had the illusion that what happened on the first day was a distortion of her memory.

Noon, canteen.

"Miss Jiang, which is tastier, our cafeteria or Mr. Gu's cafeteria?" Assistant Gao asked, sitting down opposite Jiang Xing with a tray in hand.

Putting aside their relationship with Lou Qi, the two are still good alumni who have a good personal training program.

Jiang Xing glanced at him and began to pour water: "Our company's food is good, but some of the dishes at your company are more to my liking."

"Are all lawyers this eloquent?" Assistant Gao exclaimed in admiration. Then, he changed the subject and whispered, "Actually, some of the dishes were added recently. Our cafeteria menu wasn't like this before."

Clearly, the subtext is that those dishes that suit Jiang Xing's taste were specially added for her.

Jiang Xing paused for a moment with her chopsticks, then said casually, "However, our company's table manners are different from yours. We generally don't talk much when we eat."

Gao Zhu: "..." A look of utter disgust.

Jiang Xing got the reaction she wanted and felt a little happier. Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "By the way, do you know why Jian Baizhu is targeting me?"

Gao Zhu almost forgot this person, but fortunately he had a good memory and remembered people he had met once. "I'm sorry about what happened that day. I will investigate this matter, and President Lou will give you an explanation."

In fact, Gao Zhu immediately realized that Gu Yueyue was behind it all, but not wanting Jiang Xing to have a worse impact on President Lou because of Gu Yueyue, he simply didn't say anything.

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Jiang Xing instinctively wanted to retort, thinking to himself, "I have nothing to do with Lou Qi anymore, why do I need his explanation?"

Finally I held back.

Jiang Xing put down his chopsticks and said, "I ran into Jian Baizhu that day. She was probably acting on Gu Yueyue's orders, or perhaps one of the other daughters-in-law favored by the Lou family—"

"No!" Assistant Gao immediately replied, "There is no other daughter-in-law I like!"

He realized his words were ambiguous as soon as he spoke, and added, "President Lou doesn't like Gu Yueyue either, really!"

Jiang Xing looked at him expressionlessly: "Hey Gao, did you take a liking to pimping after graduation?"

Why does she love to speak well of Lou Qi in front of his ex-girlfriend?

Gao Zhu: "..."

"If a woman who isn't even married into the family can get her hands on the Minglou Group headquarters, I think your company's internal management isn't rigorous enough. There might be other hands already reaching in." Jiang Xing didn't want to talk to Gao Zhu, who was acting as a pimp, any longer. After giving this tactful reminder, she picked up her tray and left.

Gao Zhu's eyes lit up.

After lunch, I went back to the CEO's office and told Lou Qi about it.

Assistant Gao rubbed his hands together and said, "President Lou, I think Miss Jiang is still worried about you. Isn't thinking about the company's management the same as thinking about you?"

Otherwise, what employee would bother reminding their partner's internal management?

They won't take a single extra penny!

Lou Qi sneered: "She's just being guilty of her conscience."

It's not concern at all!

When he looked up again and saw the assistant in front of him, he thought, "This guy can sit down and have a meal and chat with Jiang Xing in a peaceful manner, so why can't he?"

Thinking about it this way, Lou Qi couldn't even stand the sight of Assistant Gao in front of him.

"?" Gao Zhu couldn't understand why his boss's gaze had suddenly turned so unfriendly when he brought such wonderful news!
