Can you see now?
Di Mingjue forced his eyes open, trying to get a clearer view. But the light was fleeting, and his vision soon blurred again.
He rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and rested for a few minutes. Then he tried again, but his eyes still couldn't see anything clearly.
...
Ever since Di Minghao had caused a huge scene and was kicked out of the Di residence by Di Mingjue, everyone in the household dared not cause any more trouble, lest they be the next ones to be expelled.
Meanwhile, the zy group successfully established itself in the capital, and company affairs became increasingly numerous.
Aside from the tasks arranged by Di Mingjue, Jiang Ziyu seized any free time to contact the assistant who managed the company's affairs for her at the zy group.
Di Jue Group.
Jiang Ziyu sat in Di Mingjue's office, with a pile of documents in front of her that she was supposed to read out to him. Her phone, lying beside her, chimed. She looked down to check it.
After seeing the message, Jiang Ziyu glanced at Di Mingjue in front of her and quickly replied.
In the quiet room, the clicking of the keyboard was exceptionally loud.
Di Mingjue was drawn by the sound. He looked up, tilting his head and angling his ear towards Jiang Ziyu's location.
After sending the message, Jiang Ziyu placed her phone back in its original position.
"Are we still eating lunch in the office?" Jiang Ziyu asked.
Di Mingjue pondered for a few seconds, "Let's go to the restaurant downstairs."
"Why?" Jiang Ziyu was clearly surprised, her voice rising.
With his hands resting on the desk, Di Mingjue replied teasingly, "For a change of pace."
If he had only been curious before, he was now certain. Jiang Ziyu was very sure that Di Mingjue had sensed something and was deliberately trying to stall her.
Such a petty man!
Cursin inwardly, Jiang Ziyu pushed the documents in front of her forward and leaned back against the chair. "Alright, let's have an easy lunch today. No need to buy lunch. I'll contact Assistant Shen later and have him take you downstairs to eat."
"Where are you going?" Di Mingjue asked directly, without any pretense.
Can't hold it in anymore?
Jiang Ziyu deliberately teased, "It's nothing, I just don't have much appetite and don't want to eat."
Her voice was soft and weak, as if she were genuinely unwell. Unable to see her expression, Di Mingjue could only guess from her tone. He warned her awkwardly, "If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital. Don't infect Qianqian."
Go to the hospital?
Her eyes lit up. Jiang Ziyu suddenly stood up from her chair, "Then if there's nothing else in the afternoon, I'll go to the hospital to see a doctor."
"Good." Di Mingjue no longer obstructed her.
Everything happened so suddenly that Jiang Ziyu was somewhat unaccustomed to it. However, considering his concern about infecting Qianqian, everything seemed justifiable.
Soon, it was lunchtime. Employees from various departments paused their work and headed to the cafeteria in groups.
The Di Jue Group had its own internal restaurant, with chefs hired from various countries. The dishes were superior to those in some of the capital's five-star restaurants, which was why people were desperate to join the company.
Seeing Shen Lin appear, Jiang Ziyu grabbed her crossbody bag and left the office.
As the footsteps faded, Di Mingjue stood up from his chair, "Prepare the car!"
"President Di, there are no scheduled appointments this morning," Shen Lin said.
"Make the arrangements," Di Mingjue said impatiently.
In the past few days, Jiang Ziyu's phone had been ringing frequently, and she had been looking for opportunities to go out. There were even rumors in the company that some people had seen her at the company entrance, talking to different men.
Now that she was a member of the Di family, she could not interact with other men.
Leaving the company, Jiang Ziyu deliberately lagged a step behind. She stood by the roadside, seemingly waiting for a passing taxi, but her peripheral vision scanned her surroundings. The screen of the phone in her hand kept flashing.
