Zheng Yanshu picked up the soup bowl, completely unable to finish his meal, so he only drank a bowl of soup. No one understood his feelings for the Fourth Division. If he were to leave, he would definitely be the last one to leave. By then, the Fourth Division would have been disbanded, and there would no longer be a Fourth Division.

There was silence at the table for more than half a minute.

Zhou Yi broke the silence, “Ms. Jian, didn’t we say we would discuss the marketing plan today? Why didn’t we discuss it after I presented it? If you don’t understand anything, just ask me directly.”

Every word said was full of thorns.

Jian Hang remained calm and composed, saying, “Page 12, page 16, page 21—all the numbers on them are not accurate. It’s unnecessary to waste everyone’s time discussing them.”

They sat side by side, and she didn’t even bother turning to look at him. “When you were making your project plan, did you just lose a game? Were you in a bad mood and just filling out the data randomly?”

Zhou Yi: “…”

He was so humiliated that he suddenly couldn’t eat.

This person actually said that he was not good at playing games!

Suddenly, the noisy cafeteria became quiet. Everyone fell silent. It was so quiet that only footsteps could be heard.

Hundreds of eyes followed Qin Moling silently, like a shadow.

Xiao Fan has been working at Lemeng for five years now. As far as she knew, this should be the big boss’ first time to come to the first canteen.

“Your beautiful boss is having a hard time. The CEO came to your door in person,” her lunch companion whispered to Xiao Fan.

This person just passed by Jian Hang’s table and heard Jian Hang say to Zheng Yanshu, ‘I will only give you half a year. If you find it difficult, I will find someone else to do it.’

Ever since Jian Hang arrived at the Fourth Division, the Fourth Division has been suffering.

Some people also said that during today’s meeting, Zheng Yanshu slammed the door and left without giving anyone face.

The last time Zheng Yanshu and Zhou Yi argued in a meeting, the big boss heard about it and personally mediated the conflict. Now the big boss was here, probably to mediate as well

If the big boss wanted to keep Zheng Yanshu, he would definitely have to put pressure on Jian Hang.

Being pressured by her own husband and with all the good resources given to the Second Division, how could her life be easy?

In the past, if Qin Moling showed up, they wouldn’t even bother eating and would just go and admire his looks, but today their focus was on Jian Hang.

Jian Hang didn’t expect Qin Moling to come to her at this time. “Mr. Qin,” she greeted politely and was about to stand up.

“You guys sit down.” Qin Moling sat down opposite her.

Zhou Yi and Zheng Yanshu picked up their chopsticks again. No matter how angry they were, they had to eat. They couldn’t argue with Jian Hang in front of the CEO.

Qin Moling looked at the dishes on Jian Hang’s plate and asked, “Are any of them as delicious as mine?”

Jian Hang: “…No.”

Qin Moling nodded slightly and turned to chat with Zhou Yi for a few words.

There was a partition on Jian Hang’s left, and no one could see under the table because of the partition. She raised her foot and placed her inner ankle against his inner ankle.

Qin Moling was talking to Zhou Yi and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Jian Hang lowered her head and ate slowly, with a faint smile between her brows.

Qin Moling stretched out his legs, his calf touching her calf.

Jian Hang suppressed her throbbing heartbeat, feeling as if she was having a secret affair with her boss.

… …

During the meal, Qin Moling chatted with Zhou Yi and Zheng Yanshu.

Qin Moling sat beside them and watched them eat, and their scalps tingled the entire time.

After some time, Qin Moling stood up and said, “Take your time to eat.”

He glanced at Jian Hang before leaving.

The atmosphere of chatting was gone, they finished eating, and Jian Hang didn’t keep them any longer.

The conflict between Zheng Yanshu and Jian Hang was no longer a secret in Lemeng.

Especially at today’s regular meeting, Zheng Yanshu just left the meeting, which caused a lot of controversy.

The Second Division was recruiting, and everyone was now privately speculating whether Zheng Yanshu would go to the Second Department.

Jian Hang returned to the Fourth Division and found her office door open.

When she went to eat, she remembered to close the door.

There were no confidential documents in the office, nothing valuable other than her laptop.

Jian Hang walked to the door and couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Qin Moling sat in front of her desk and was reading a book.

He said, “I came to see you.”

He left the cafeteria early; it turned out he was coming to her place.

Jian Hang held the door handle then closed the door.

Qin Moling said, “No need to close it.”

Jian Hang thought for a moment and opened the door again.

Leave the door open and others won’t think twice.

Jian Hang walked over, leaned on the edge of the table, and stared at him.

Whether he was the boss or her husband, there was no need to distinguish so clearly at this time.

He was all hers.

Qin Moling put down the book and asked, “I heard that during the meeting today, Zheng Yanshu slammed the door and left the conference room?”

“It’s not that exaggerated. Zheng Yanshu was so angry with me that he left midway, but he didn’t slam the door.”

In all the time they’ve been together, he has never made her wait for too long, never walked away with a cold face. All her anger was caused by others.

Qin Moling took her hand and squeezed it.

He saw the coffee cup he had given her. It was the only one on the table. “Are you drinking coffee now?”

“No.”

Jian Hang also glanced at the coffee cup and said, “It’s used for drinking water.”

They looked at each other; he was sitting and she was standing.

Jian Hang placed her hands on his shoulders, lowered her head, and their lips touched.

In her office, they couldn’t do anything else. Qin Moling broke off the kiss in time. There was something he wanted to tell her in person, “Tan Moxing’s endorsement contract was signed by the Second Division. The contract process came to me today, and I approved it.”

Jian Hang still felt a little regretful, but she smiled faintly and said generously, “It’s okay.”

At this moment, he inexplicably wanted to compensate her, “Jian Hang, have you ever thought about getting something for your Fourth Division from me, your boss?”

Jian Hang looked at him and said, “I only want you as a person.”

Qin Moling squeezed her hand tightly and said, “From now on, I’ll come to accompany you at noon when I’m free.” He stroked the edge of her watch face with his thumb. She liked to use the same things as him, even if it was as small as a coffee cup.

She would probably be happy if she wore the same watch as him.

“Buzz—buzz—“ the phone vibrated.

Jian Hang picked up the phone and saw that it was Xiao Fan calling her.

Xiao Fan knew that Qin Moling was there and was afraid of disturbing them. She didn’t dare to come to the office rashly, so she called instead.

“What’s the matter?” Jian Hang answered.

Xiao Fan said, “Ms. Jian, a Madam Lin wants to see you.”

The only Madam Lin she knew was Lin Xiao’s mother.
