Chapter 8 The Blind Man Who Can See

Wen Zhiyao was not saying this to show her understanding.

Instead, it was a subtle reminder that Jiang She had not paid his dues last night.

Since he had declared that money was not an issue, he was obligated to give her some.

Wen Zhiyao was desperately short on cash!

Given that their relationship had started off as a financial transaction, it made sense to carry it through to the end.

Wen Zhiyao hailed a taxi on the street and sat in the back seat as the driver noticed a mark on her neck.

The kindly old driver advised, "Miss, did you just come from your boyfriend's place this morning? Didn't he bother to send you off?"

Wen Zhiyao adjusted her collar, unwilling to explain much.

The driver imagined a dramatic soap opera in his mind.

He gave her some advice in a knowing voice saying, "It's best to leave such a man."

Wen Zhiyao saw the driver outraged and was afraid that if she didn't say something, he might turn the car around, head back to confront Jiang She, and lambaste him as an awful man.

With her head bowed, Wen Zhiyao let out a sigh, "Yeah, we broke up. It happened just this morning."

The driver hurried to comfort her, "Don't worry, miss. It's a bright world out there. Once you're over the emotional pain, I can introduce you to my brother's son."

As he spoke, they had arrived at Wen Zhiyao's apartment. Wen Zhiyao quickly declined, "Thank you, sir, but it's not necessary."

She took some change from her bag, left it on the backseat, and got out of the car.

The driver shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

Such a good girl, it's a pity some blind men don't know how to appreciate her.

...

At the underground parking of Jiang Property, Manager Liu stood next to an SUV, carrying a shopping bag for women. He knocked on the car window and stood by with a smile on his face.

Jiang She opened the car door. His long legs resting on the gray cement. He was even more dashing under the lights despite the elongated shadow.

Manager Liu immediately handed over the shopping bag with a sly grin, "Boss Jiang, these are what you asked me to buy. My wife said the clothes from this store are tailoring and promised your girlfriend will be satisfied after wearing them."

Jiang She waved his fingers dismissively, "She's not my girlfriend. I just saw her pitiful, without even clothes to wear. So, I generously bought her a set."

However, Jiang She had never bought women's clothing before. He didn't know what types of clothes women actually liked.

Manager Liu had a wife, and she didn't work in the company. As long as Liu didn't talk much, no one in the company would know about this.

Manager Liu was puzzled, "Are there still people without clothes these days?"

Jiang She nodded, "Yes, poor and shameless."

Isn't it shameless to take his clothes without his permission?

Seeing Jiang She's smile, Manager Liu couldn't help but laugh along.

-

Knocking on the office door, Wen Zhiyao entered looking confused and asked curiously, "I heard you were looking for me?"

Jiang She took out the shopping bag from under the table and indicated, "Try these on and see if they fit."

Wen Zhiyao, "?"

Jiang She asked her to open the shopping bag. Wen Zhiyao glanced at the clothes inside, a pink dress. Its tender color reminded her of her college days.

The Wen Zhiyao from that time was carefree, with a happy family. She loved everything in pink. But ever since she entered society and her father committed suicide.

Those carefree days no longer belonged to her, and pink had been stripped from her life.

Jiang She asked, "Do you like it?"

His question brought Wen Zhiyao back to reality.

Wen Zhiyao nodded and replied perfunctorily, "Um, I like it."

Her offhand attitude made it difficult to understand her feelings.

Jiang She didn't mind, he wanted to see how Wen Zhiyao would look in that dress.

Jiang She urged, "If you like it, change into it and show me. This is my office, and without my permission, others won't dare to barge in."

The next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xuan Meimei rushed into the room in a hurried state, anxiously saying, "Boss Jiang, the building material company we're working with, their new cargo batch has a lot of substandard goods mixed in it. But their person in charge denies it, claiming that we replaced good goods with bad ones to defame them."

Wen Zhiyao shrugged. The slap in the face had come too quickly, like a tornado.

Jiang She gritted his teeth and nodded, "I see."

Xuan Meimei was perplexed, "Boss Jiang, aren't you going to deal with it now?"

"I have to handle everything personally, all of you in Jiang's Property are taking my money for nothing? If you can't solve this minor issue, the entire Human Resources Department can pack up and leave!" Jiang She yelled angrily, clearly not pleased.

Xuan Meimei was flabbergasted for a few seconds, her gaze fell on the woman's shopping bag on the table and she left the office with an ugly face.

Others could solve the issue of the building material company's fraud.

Xuan Meimei intentionally made a fuss about it, her sole purpose was to secure a private meeting with Jiang She.

Since the day Jiang She came to Jiang's Property, Xuan Meimei had marked him as her target.

Though he was an illegitimate child of the Jiang family, the old master had deliberately placed him as the General Manager in Jiang's Property, which indicated his preference.

Marrying into the Jiang family could transform her low status to a high one.

However, it wasn't just her who wished to transform, Wen Zhiyao was already a step ahead.

This cunning vixen really was annoying!

In the office, Wen Zhiyao picked up the shopping bag and thanked him, "You're considerate, Boss Jiang. I really like the clothes, but it's too thrilling to change in the company. I'm not daring enough to do it. How about that? Tonight, after I dress up, I take some photos and show you, what do you think?"

Jiang She perked up.

The things in Wen Zhiyao's brain were far more than he had imagined.

To prevent another intruder, Jiang She had to take a step back and agreed.

"Not only photos, but I also need a video." He pushed his demand up a notch.

Wen Zhiyao agreed almost immediately, "Fine, no problem, then I'll go back to work."

There were always a handful of women gossiping in the tea room.

A heavily made-up woman poured herself a cup of coffee, one hand on her waist and the other holding the mug, and relayed all the gossips she had heard to the people around her.

"I suppose you all know about our Boss Jiang's identity, but do you know about Wen Zhiyao's identity? She's the fian -ee of the Minister Zhou who just signed a contract with our company yesterday." The heavily made-up Sun Yan said.

Li Lulu echoed, "I also heard something. Wen Zhiyao was previously Jiang Jingyan's secretary. She was directly taken away by Jiang She. And for this, the two brothers had a big argument. If it weren't for the Chairman stepping in, they would have come to blows!"

Sun Yan was shocked. There was more to the gossip that she didn't know.

"So, there's more to it. This Wen Zhiyao is no simple person." Sun Yan commented.

Li Lulu began in a mysterious tone, "The Chairman knows he owes Jiang She. So, he asked Jiang Jingyan to let go and sent Wen Zhiyao to Jiang She."
