Chapter 179: Episode 179: The Client Requests Li Jiniang
"If one of you two could just take the initiative, it would be great..." Li Jiniang sighed.
"It’s tough..." Zhou Xueyin helplessly shook her head and got up to play with the cat.
Although they no longer had to worry about the company going bankrupt, the workload had become so overwhelming that there was no time for rest. Come the weekend, she was so exhausted that all she wanted to do was lie flat and sleep, with no spare energy to engage in a relationship or maintain emotional ties.
On the other hand, Wei Jingzhu had been nursing an inferiority complex ever since Zhang Lei had said, "Do you think just because of your background and your position, a grand company manager would take an interest in you?"
It wasn’t exactly an inferiority complex, but he felt that until he could work hard enough to deserve Zhou Xueyin, he wouldn’t easily ask her out.
After all, he hoped that once they were dating, she wouldn’t have to exhaust herself managing the company anymore.
Moreover, a degree of male pride was at play; he didn’t want others to say he was living off a woman. He wanted to earn his place beside Zhou Xueyin through his own efforts.
After the Qingming holiday, several people arrived at the office, and for the first time, Zhang Yongzhong was already waiting for everyone in the office area.
"Li Jiniang, you’re finally here. Come to my office!" Zhang Yongzhong, seeing Li Jiniang, called her into his office as if seeing a savior.
The other three looked at each other, unsure of what was happening, but since she would tell them about it after coming out, they just went back to their desks and started working without much concern.
"Sit!" Zhang Yongzhong invited Li Jiniang to sit down, then sat back in his own chair, "There’s a client who specifically asked for you to handle their case, and I had no other choice. Xiaoyun will come later; she’ll coordinate with you."
