Chapter 402: Understanding the Situation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Nuannuan felt a little awkward, lying, “Ah Yu is very busy. This is just a small matter, so I don’t want to disturb him. That’s why I came to find you instead.”

Jiang Ling’er looked troubled. She then said, “I see. But Miss Zhang, there are some things that I can’t say. The only thing I can say is that I have another partnership with CEO Li. As for what it is and how long it’s been ongoing, I can’t really tell you.”

Zhang Nuannuan wouldn’t have come here if she could ask Li Yu about it.

Hearing this answer, she was a little angry and held it in for a bit.

She asked, “Alright, can you at least tell me which one of you is the boss?”

“It’s me,” Jiang Ling’er said with certainty.

Zhang Nuannuan was frustrated. Why was Ah Yu doing this? It seemed that she had to investigate Jiang Ling’er properly.

“Is there anything else, Miss Zhang?” Jiang Ling’er asked with a smile. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.”

Zhang Nuannuan unwillingly said, “How could Ah Yu be willing to let you be the boss? In what way are you that special?”

“You’ll have to ask CEO Li that,” said Jiang Ling’er.

Anyway, she wasn’t Li Yu, so it was impossible for her to know his thoughts.

“Don’t you think you’re unworthy?” Zhang Nuannuan asked angrily.

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Ha… Why is that? Moreover, good-looking and talented employees like CEO Li are hard to find. How can I not want him?”

Zhang Nuannuan didn’t know what to say, nearly exploding from anger.

However, in order to maintain her image, she had to endure it.

After a while, she said, “This is the first time I’ve seen Ah Yu work for someone else.”

“Oh really?” Jiang Ling’er said confidently. “I’m very honored to be his first boss.”

Her confidence made Zhang Nuannuan even more upset.

Zhang Nuannuan mocked, “That’s right; you’re really lucky. Do you know that many people don’t have the right to stand by his side?”

Jiang Ling’er naturally wouldn’t let her be arrogant. “So I must be extremely lucky, right? Since I’m the only one who can make him my employee.”

After she said that, she smiled casually. However, the aura she emitted made Zhang Nuannuan feel powerless to resist.

“You’re very confident,” Zhang Nuannuan said, suppressing her anger.

“Thank you,” Jiang Ling’er replied. “Confidence is a quality, and it’s also an ability. Don’t you agree, Miss Zhang?”

Zhang Nuannuan couldn’t find any anger in Jiang Ling’er’s calm look. She could only nod.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Miss Zhang, we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll leave first.”

“Alright, you guys go ahead. I’m leaving as well,” said Zhang Nuannuan stiffly. ***

In the library.

When they sat down, Wen Nuan worriedly asked, “Ling’er, is Zhang Nuannuan already suspicious of you?”

Jiang Ling’er helplessly replied, “Nuannuan, don’t worry, okay?”

Wen Nuan felt wronged. “Are my worries groundless? I’m just afraid she’ll bully you.”

Jiang Ling’er raised her hand, gently patting Wen Nuan’s forehead.

She said, “Don’t worry. If Zhang Nuannuan dares to make a move, do you think she could beat us?”

“But she brought security with her earlier!” Wen Nuan exclaimed.

Jiang Ling’er replied, “Nuannuan, don’t forget that our guards are also nearby. Would they just watch if we get beaten up?”

Wen Nuan was speechless.

What Jiang Ling’er said did make sense.

Jiang Ling’er continued, “Moreover, the country is currently beating up evil people. If Zhang Nuannuan dares to cause trouble, there’s no need for your family to do anything. After all, the Zhangs will put justice before family. In short, even if she’s stupid enough to attack me now, do you think the Zhangs are as stupid? That’d be impossible, no?”

“I’m relieved to hear that. I was really afraid Zhang Nuannuan would make a move.” Wen Nuan nodded.

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Read your books properly, and don’t let your imagination run wild. Even if something happens, someone will take action.”

Wen Nuan said while smirking, “Well, seeing Zhang Nuannuan so angry earlier was nice.”

“Who asked her to be so arrogant?” Jiang Ling’er said. “Why should I tolerate her attitude?”

Wen Nuan said, “After all, she has a backer. Many people wouldn’t dare fight with the officials. She could act so arrogant because she has one in her family!”

“It’s true that the Zhangs have an official, but it’s precisely because of that official that we should be more afraid at this time,” said Jiang Ling’er..
