Chapter 192: The Injured Man!

  Since Zhang Ziheng's confession failed a few days ago, Zheng Jie helped him find a job in just two days. Doesn't he not want to eat soft rice? Then let him work. It's clear that Zheng Jie is somewhat angry with Zhang Ziheng's cowardice. Due to the relationship between Zheng Jie's family and business, Zhang Ziheng naturally came to work at Zheng Chengyang's company, and the job arranged for Zhang Ziheng was very special - he became Zheng Jie's secretary. Zheng Jie is the sales department manager of the company, and this time Zhang Ziheng has become her secretary. It seems that there will be a lot more going on between them.

  In the few days since Zhang Ziheng started working at the company, he has been doing some very trivial things, not much different from a regular secretary. The only difference is that he is a male secretary, which has caused quite a stir among the company's employees. People are wondering if the female boss's intention in hiring a male secretary is also ulterior. Almost everyone in the company knows that Zheng Jie is the daughter of the chairman and seems to be dating a policeman. Have they broken up? For a while, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the company, with all sorts of speculation, but no one dared to make any conclusions.

  In these days of going to work, Zhang Ziheng did not simply find a job, he also saw another side of Zheng Jie. The way she treated her subordinates with rigor and seriousness, the strong momentum that was inadvertently emitted when handling work, were in stark contrast to her gentle side in life, a true female strongman. In the company, even though Zhang Ziheng had a good relationship with Zheng Jie, he still did not dare to joke around with her like before, maintaining a clear subordinate and superior relationship.

  Although house prices are now very high, especially in B city, there are still many people buying houses, so the workload in the company is very large every day. This is not suitable for Zhang Ziheng who has just joined the company.

  Actually, Zhang Ziheng looks quite handsome too. Plus, he's a very down-to-earth and honest person, so it's easy for people to get along with him. As a result, everyone in the company likes him, especially those unmarried female colleagues who don't have boyfriends. When they see someone like that encountering difficulties, women's kindness will naturally overflow. And coincidentally, Zhang Ziheng happens to need help at this time. Seeing so many kind-hearted colleagues helping him out, he would of course smile and accept it. Unfortunately, Zheng Jie happened to witness this scene. It's common knowledge that women are jealous, let alone someone like Zheng Jie. However, as the general manager, she had to maintain her composure in front of her subordinates, so on the surface, she seemed very calm.

  After those female colleagues with "love" helped Zhang Ziheng, he was called into the office by Zheng Jie. Seeing Zheng Jie's displeased face, Zhang Ziheng asked worriedly: "Director Zheng, you're looking for me? Is there something wrong?"

  Zheng Jie raised her head and looked at him, smiling: "Haha, how come I didn't notice it before? You're actually so popular with women?"

  "Women's luck? Oh, haha, Director Zheng, you misunderstood. Those colleagues helped me because they saw I was having trouble." Zhang Ziheng explained.

  Zheng Jie nodded and said: "Really? Then why are all the people helping you female colleagues and no male colleagues?"

  "This... hehe, I'm not too sure either, you'd better ask them." Zhang Ziheng said with a smile.

  Seeing him like this, Zheng Jie's cheeks puffed up with anger. "Alright, alright, it's nothing, you can go now."

  "Director Zheng, what's going on? You look like..."

  "I'm telling you to get out, did you hear me? Get out, annoying person." Zheng Jie said displeased.

  Zhang Ziheng looked at her inexplicably, not understanding what he had done to offend her. He shook his head and turned around to leave the office. Before long, it was time to get off work, and everyone was packing up to leave. At this moment, Yu Xuan appeared wearing a black suit, holding a large bouquet of red roses, and walked into the sales department, heading straight for Zheng Jie's office.

  After a while, Yu Xuan and Zheng Jie walked out of the office together. Zheng Jie was still holding that big bunch of roses in her arms. The two of them were chatting and laughing, looking very close. Zhang Zi Heng, who was tidying up at the office door, saw this and first froze for a moment, then looked at them somewhat unnaturally, feeling quite uncomfortable inside.

  Of course, Zheng Jie also noticed this point. She deliberately stopped at the door for a moment and smiled at Yu Xuan: "Let's not eat seafood, let's go eat steak instead, what do you think?" After finishing, she didn't forget to glance at Zhang Ziheng.

  "Hehe, no problem, you can eat whatever you want." Yuxuan smiled and said.

  "Oh, right." Zheng Jie suddenly turned around and said to Zhang Ziheng: "You must sort out this month's performance report before you can leave work, got it?" After that, she followed Yu Xuan away.

  Watching them leave, Zhang Ziheng's heart wasn't feeling right. He hummed softly and sat down, flipping through a file folder while muttering to himself: "What's the big deal? It's just eating steak, is steak really that delicious? I saw news recently saying that mad cow disease is very severe now, aren't they afraid of getting sick from eating it? Besides, spending so much money just to eat such a small piece of beef, can you even get full from that? Rich people are truly extravagant." Actually, what others eat has nothing to do with him, but it's clear he's also feeling jealous.

  It is often said that a handsome man matches a beautiful woman. In other people's eyes, Zheng Jie and Yu Xuan are a very well-matched couple. Even if they get married in the future, no one would think there's anything wrong with it. However, Zheng Jie just doesn't have those feelings for Yu Xuan. Although in the past, the two of them often went out to eat and watch movies together, but it was all as friends, at least that's what Zheng Jie thought.

  This time it's different, Yu Xuan is not young anymore, his parents have been urging him to find a girlfriend and get married, and Zheng Jie is a satisfactory object. Moreover, with the sudden appearance of Zhang Zi Heng, Yu Xuan feels that he may threaten himself, so he must take action first.

  In the restaurant, Zheng Jie sat opposite Yu Xuan, with candles lit on the table and the sound of a violin drifting from beside them. What a romantic scene it was! After a while, Zheng Jie suddenly lifted her head, looked at Yu Xuan and smiled: "What's wrong? Staring at me all the time, can I finish eating?"

  Yu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Scientists say that men watching beautiful women can prolong their lifespan. Eating can only provide nutrition for my body, it doesn't matter when I eat, but looking at beautiful women isn't something you can do whenever you want."

  "Haha, you're all talking big, who did you learn from? If you want to see beautiful women, why not just marry one and look at her every day?" Zheng Jie said with a laugh, picking up the wine cup on the table and taking a sip.

  "Hmm, that's a good proposal. I was thinking the same thing. So... would you be willing to be the beautiful woman I get to see every day?" Yuxuan smiled and asked.

  Zheng Jie shook her head and smiled, saying: "Alright, Yu Xuan, stop messing around, eat quickly."

  "What? You think I'm joking with you?" Yu Xuan asked with a smile. "Zheng Jie, how long have we known each other?"

  "Hehe, I wouldn't remember something like this, but it's probably been a long time," Zheng Jie said with a smile.

  "But I remember, it was ten years and three months ago." Yu Xuan continued to say. "I also remember that when I saw you for the first time, it was at the opening ceremony of Xiaomeng Middle School. At that time, you were already a beautiful little girl, and many boys' eyes were staring straight at you. Because you and Xiaomeng are good friends, so we got to know each other too. I remember you even said you wanted me to be your older brother back then."

  Zheng Jie smiled and put down her knife and fork, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "Yes, at that time I was so envious of Xiao Meng, having an older brother like you. Actually, even now, I still consider you as my older brother."

  "But I don't want to be your brother, Zheng Jie. From the time you graduated from junior high school, to when you went to high school, and then from when you graduated from high school to when you went to university, until now, I've been paying attention to you all along. Every time something happened to you, I would appear in front of you and help you solve it. When you were in the second year of high school, you said that police officers are so handsome, and if you were going to get married in the future, you would definitely marry a police officer. It was because of this sentence of yours that I became a police officer. Don't you understand all of this?" Yu Xuan said softly.

  Zheng Jie knew about all the things Yu Xuan had done for her, and of course understood his intentions. However, she just didn't have any feelings for him, and there was nothing she could do about it. "Yu Xuan, I'm sorry. I didn't know that my casual joke back then would have such a big impact on you. If I knew you became a police officer because of me, I'd apologize to you."

  "No, don't apologize to me. Being a police officer is my own wish, you just gave me the motivation. " Yu Xuan shook his head and said, then he slowly took out a small box from his pocket and said: "I don't expect you to agree with me now, I just hope you can give me some confidence. Zheng Jie, put it on, okay?" As he opened the small box, a diamond ring appeared in front of Zheng Jie's eyes.

  Zheng Jie was stunned, she didn't expect Yu Xuan to propose to her. After a long time, she shook her head and said: "Yu Xuan, sorry, I can't, you'd better put it away and give it to someone else in the future."

  "I didn't expect it to end up like this, and I especially didn't expect to be rejected so bluntly. Yu Xuan's heart sank to the bottom. "Why? Zheng Jie, tell me, why? What's wrong with me? Is it that you look down on me for not having as much money as you? Or..."

  "No, Yu Xuan, no, don't think wildly. You're very good, and especially good to me. But I've already said it, I just treat you as a brother, there's no other meaning. If possible, I hope you can be my brother for life, just like that, okay?" Zheng Jie said softly.

  Is it okay? No, of course not. Yu Xuan nodded and smiled, "Is it because...? Tell me, is it because of him?"

  "Yu Xuan, this has nothing to do with him. Even if he wasn't here, I wouldn't accept you. We're destined to not be together in this lifetime. Sorry, I think it's no longer suitable for us to eat together under these circumstances." Zheng Jie stood up and picked up her handbag.

  "Zheng Jie, wait, just wait. Can't you give me a chance, a fair chance to compete?" Yu Xuan asked.

  Zheng Jie shook her head and said: "Yu Xuan, don't be like this. You will always be my brother, I will always be your sister." After finishing speaking, Zheng Jie turned around and left without looking back.

  What was originally a romantic candlelight dinner ended up being a cold meal for an injured man to enjoy alone. The diamond ring on the table, the violin beside it, and the carefully prepared steak. To Yu Xuan, how ironic it all seemed.
