Ge'er was shocked by Lei Dongyi's shamelessness after he finished speaking.
Using such an excuse to get her to eat with him? How had he become like this?
Did he not think her mood was bad enough? What was wrong with this world?
"Lei Dongyi, if I'm not mistaken, the contract has already taken effect. Whatever problems there are, they are your responsibility. If you have something to do, you should do it. And you need me to accompany you? Do you think our Zhan Group hires people as masters specifically? You're truly something!"
Lei Dongyu was retorted by her again, but he wasn't angry, just smiling faintly as he looked at her.
"The weather outside is so nice today. Don't be so irritable all day. Have you not been drinking enough water lately? Your temper is too fiery. Go, pour your Zhan General a glass of water."
The assistant looked at the scene before him. "..."
He didn't know what to do, so he obediently went to the pantry.
When he returned with the water, Ge'er hadn't moved from her previous posture, like a fighting cock, with her neck stiff and glaring at the smiling Lei Dongyi.
This was the first time the assistant had seen Ge'er treat someone like this. He wanted to say a few words to Lei Dongyi, suggesting perhaps lawyer Lei could eat first, as Zhan General was busy. But as soon as he placed the teacup down, Lei Dongyi said to him.
"You don't need to worry about lunch. Zhan General has already agreed to eat with me. You can go out now."
The assistant looked to Ge'er for guidance with his eyes. Ge'er was extremely annoyed by his shamelessness, staring coldly at Lei Dongyi, wanting to see what tricks he was up to.
"You can go back first."
The assistant practically fled the conference room.
Zhan General wasn't usually like this. Although everyone in the company knew she was Zhan Beijue's daughter and one of the future successors of the group, she usually had no airs.
Having been her assistant for over two years, she had never seen her lose her temper with anyone...
Her intuition told her that it wasn't just a simple dislike between her and Lei Dongyi, but rather flirtatious banter.
This was because of the way Lei Dongyi looked at her – too affectionate, too playful, as if deliberately trying to make her angry.
The assistant couldn't help but be curious. Could it be that besides being business partners, they had other relationships?
After looking up Lei Dongyi's information, she quickly verified her intuition.
Lei Dongyi's profile showed that he had attended the same school as Ge'er in high school, and they were the same age. Could they have been classmates before?
No wonder Zhan General was like that, yet Lawyer Lei was still smiling. This was interesting.
Seeing that both of their appearances and figures were well-matched, and recalling the scene just now, the assistant imagined a scenario of old classmates meeting again after many years, with one pursuing and the other escaping.
Suddenly, she felt that this CP was quite appealing, and she was already looking forward to the next plot development.
After the assistant left, Lei Dongyi went to close the door of the conference room.
He sat back in his chair with a leisurely demeanor, pushed the teacup forward, and persuaded Ge'er.
"Don't be angry anymore. Come, sit down, and drink your tea. What do you want to eat? Let's have a good meal."
Eat your sister, Ge'er thought. Can't you see I'm disgusted with you? And you want to eat? Eat a big ghost!
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Lei Dongyi, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. Just eat a meal together. I've just joined your company and I'm not familiar with the place. I'll be lonely eating alone in the cafeteria."
"Heh. Unfamiliar with the place, lonely by myself? So I deserve to accompany you?"
"Who told us we're old classmates and business partners? Eating a meal together isn't much, is it?"
Ge'er let out a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and looked at him with the last shred of her patience.
"I'll give you one more minute, Lei Dongyi. Will you say it or not?"
She was furious, but Lei Dongyi was still the same, unhurried and calm.
"Say it, but can it wait until after work? I don't like discussing work while eating."
You damn it...
Are you deliberately teasing me for fun?
Ge'er wished she could pick up the hot tea and pour it on his face.
"Lei Dongyi, if you die one day, it will definitely be because you were too despicable and beaten to death by a mob! From now on, don't talk to me anymore, or else..."
She pushed the teacup to the floor, smashing it and splashing the liquid everywhere.
After smashing it, Ge'er rushed to open the door to leave. Lei Dongyi's expression finally changed slightly. He stood up quickly, darted two steps forward, and blocked the door.
He looked at her with a rather helpless and pitiful expression.
"Ge'er, do you hate me that much? Can't we just talk things through properly?"
"Don't call me by that name! I have nothing to say to you! Don't you have a girlfriend? Don't you know to maintain boundaries with the opposite sex? Even if you don't have a girlfriend, I have a boyfriend! I warn you, if you get this close to me again, I'll accuse you of workplace sexual harassment! I'll have Jiang Jingyu fire you in minutes!"
Seeing that she was truly angry, with aversion towards him revealed in the corners of her eyes and brows, Lei Dongyi, afraid of upsetting her, could only raise his hands in surrender and take two steps back.
"Alright. Perhaps I was too impatient. I apologize."
"I won't harass you for now. There's no need to get angry with someone like me. You should go back to your office first. I'll have someone deliver the food to you when it arrives."
Ge'er didn't respond to him and stormed out of the conference room.
The assistant was sitting at her seat, not having gone to eat yet, when she saw Ge'er return furiously and lock herself in the office, startling her.
Fearing that the boss's anger would affect her, she quickly turned off her computer and headed to the cafeteria.
As she came out of the office and passed by the conference room door, Lei Dongyi was leaning against the doorframe, looking this way with a calm expression.
For some reason, seeing one furious and the other at ease, the assistant found it quite amusing.
Perhaps it was because Lei Dongyi was too handsome, easily eliciting good feelings from the opposite sex. She couldn't help but take the risk of betraying Ge'er and greet him.
"Lawyer Lei."
Lei Dongyi nodded at her in a gentle manner.
"Mm. Going to eat?"
"Yes. Do you want to come along, Lawyer Lei?"
"No need. I've ordered delivery. I've ordered a portion for you too. You don't need to go."
The assistant hadn't expected to be so honored as to have Lawyer Lei order for her, and quickly thanked him.
Lei Dongyi stepped away from the doorway.
"Since you don't need to go to the cafeteria, you might as well come in and chat while you wait."
The assistant glanced back at Ge'er's office, which was as quiet as a mouse.
She flashed inside and followed Lei Dongyi into the conference room, closing the door behind her.
They casually found seats, and Lei Dongyi unexpectedly extended his hand to her.
"My name is Lei Dongyi, head of the Zhan Group Legal Advisory Team. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The assistant knew very well how famous Zhonghe Law Firm was.
To have dealings with a leading lawyer from Zhonghe Law Firm was truly an supreme honor.
She quickly reached out to shake his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Lawyer Lei. My name is Guan Shuya, please give me your guidance in the future."
Lei Dongyi withdrew his hand with a faint smile: "Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Guan from now on. Xiao Guan, may I ask you a few questions?"
Guan Shuya looked at him with adoration: "Lawyer Lei, please tell me."
