Chapter 18: Bullying

ercy. 。Today's banquet was a welcome feast for Zhou Li after his return from abroad. Jane Yanqing, at the behest of her elder sister, made it very grand. 。Ginger Mingzhu sat in the corner sipping cha...As soon as Ginger Mingzhu entered the company Monday morning, she heard that Zhan Yubai had arrived.

Upon arriving at the secretary's office, someone instructed her to take coffee to Zhou Li and Zhan Yu Bai.

Jiang Mingzhu walked over to Zhou Li's office with two cups of coffee. Before she could knock, she heard the voices of two people talking inside.

According to the Zhouli, it's best not to let Yanqing take her to weekend activities.

Jian Yu Bai: “If it’s really as you said, then I can’t just leave Yan Qing alone. I need to talk to him.”

Zhou Li: "Do you think he would believe it"

"That's right, even if we find evidence, he might not believe it. Besides, we don't have concrete proof yet... But I absolutely can't let her attend this event."

Ginger Mingzhu stood silently at the door, listening to their words. A disdainful smile curled her red lips.

You wouldn't let her go, would you Well, she insists on going.

Ginger Mingzhu waited outside for a few minutes until the two finished talking. She then knocked on the door, carrying coffee in. Without even looking at Zhou Li, she smiled and said to Zhan Yubai, "Mr. Zhan, your latte."

"Thank you." Jan Yu Bai showed concern for Jiang Mingzhu, "Are you getting used to life in Wanhua"

Ginger Mingzhu: "It's fine, thank you for your concern, General Manager Zhan."

Jane spoke, "You don't need to be so polite. I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight, just the two of us. Would that be alright"

Jiang Mingzhu showed a bewildered expression and asked knowingly, "Mr. Zhan, do you have something to say to me"

"Don't worry, it's just a meal." Jan said softly with a gentle smile. "After work, I'll go find you."

Ginger nodded obediently, "Okay."

——

Jiang Mingzhu was nominally Zhou Li's assistant, but she didn't have any valuable work in her hands. It was all sorts of trivial and idle jobs.

It was almost time to get off work. Jian Yu Bai went to find Jiang Ming Zhu alone and took her to a restaurant.

On the way, Zhan Yubai was still on the phone with Zhou Li, reminding him to remember to eat dinner tonight. She was so considerate.

Meanwhile, Ginger Mingzhu took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to James Yenqing.

Mr. Zhan invited me to dinner alone, I don't know what he wants to tell me, I'm so nervous.

James Yen replied: "Where are you I'm coming."

Ginger gave Janice the restaurant's address, then smiled and put her phone away.

Zhan Yu Bai chose a private room again. After Jiang Ming Zhu went in and sat down, she sent the room number to Zhan Yan Qing, then she felt at ease acting.

After they had finished ordering, Zhan Yu Bai casually asked Jiang Ming Zhu, "How did you and Yan Qing meet I don't think he has ever mentioned it."

Ginger Mingzhu: “I was harassed while I went to the bar to pick up my friend, and Yanqing helped me.”

"Oh, so this kid can be a hero after all." Janyu Bai said with a smile. "He usually likes to go to nightclubs and doesn't take relationships seriously. If he bullies you, come find me."

Ginger Mingzhu didn't expose Zhan Yu Bai, she cooperated with her, and the two of them competed in acting.

Jan spoke a bunch of irrelevant questions as a preamble, finally getting to the point: "I heard Yanqing say that he's going to take you to a weekend event."

Ginger Mingzhu nodded, "Hmm."

Jane said, "Mingzhu, I know Yanqing likes you, and your feelings are good. You'll have many opportunities to attend public events together in the future."

Ginger Mingzhu paused for a few seconds, “Mr. Zhan…what do you mean”

"My parents don't know about you and Yanqing yet. They are still looking for marriage partners for Yanqing, and Yanqing bringing you to a public event so rashly makes me afraid you will be wronged."

Although Jan Yu Bai seems to be considering everything for Jiang Mingzhu word by word, the translation is that she doesn't deserve Jan Yanqing.

Ginger Mingzhu's phone buzzed. She looked down and saw a WeChat message on the screen.

I'll be right up.

Ginger Mingzhu switched off the screen. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "You mean, Yanqing will marry someone else"

Her voice trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment.

Jane spoke in a soft voice, comforting her, "Everyone in our circle can't escape the arrangements made by their families. But don't worry, I will help you both. You are very talented and absolutely deserve to be with Yanqing."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Since that's the case, why don't you let me go with him"

"I just don't want to embarrass you. To be honest with you, my father has also arranged a marriage for him that will come with him."

Jiang Mingzhu's head drooped even lower, "I understand, I won't go on the weekend. Thank you, Mr. Zhan, for reminding me."

"I knew you were a sensible girl." James said with a relieved smile.

“So you're going to bully her” As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the private room swung open and Zhan Yanqing walked in with a dark face.

In Zhan Yu Bai's surprised eyes, Zhan Yan Qing pulled up Jiang Ming Zhu and protected her in his arms.hu was happy all morning.During lunchtime, Jiang Mingzhu went to Zhou Li's office to get her earrings.Zhou Li stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Mingzhu walked up to him from behind.“Is there...
