"I only saw Miss Jiang Feifei come out, so I thought you might still be inside," Shen Lin pointed to the men's restroom next to them. "I was just coming out to use the restroom myself."
Was it truly such a coincidence?
If he saw Miss Jiang Feifei place the sign herself, why didn't he expose her on the spot? Why wait for her to leave before rescuing her?
Jiang Ziyu stared at Shen Lin with her deep eyes, "Assistant Shen, do you know everything Emperor Mingjue does, every step of the way?"
"Madam is mistaken. I am not privy to Mr. Di's thoughts. However, this sign was not placed here by Miss Jiang Feifei; you have misunderstood, Madam," Shen Lin explained earnestly.
What had she just heard?
Shen Lin was actually defending Jiang Feifei?
Jiang Ziyu looked at the man before her in disbelief, her suspicion about the collaboration deepening.
Were they all deliberately concealing something from her? What was it they didn't want her to know?
Confusedly following Shen Lin back to the private room, Jiang Feifei looked at Jiang Ziyu's safe return with surprise mixed with tension.
When they had left, the waiter had already served the food to the table.
"I'll toast you. It's all thanks to Di Jue Group; otherwise, how could my Jiang Corporation successfully escape danger?" Jiang Wenbin raised his glass to express his gratitude to Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue also raised his wine glass, "We're family, no need for formalities."
"Yes, yes, we're all family." Jiang Wenbin happily downed the wine in his cup.
Throughout the entire meal, Jiang Ziyu remained overlooked; by the end, no one remembered her.
Due to the collaboration, Jiang Feifei successfully secured a position within Di Jue Group. The reason given was to better facilitate cooperation and allow for timely discussions.
In the afternoon, Jiang Feifei was wandering around the company.
"What are you doing here?" Di Ruihe asked, looking surprised.
Upon confirming that the person before him was indeed Jiang Feifei, he ignored her struggles and pulled her into his office.
Rubbing her sore wrist, Jiang Feifei complained, "You've made it so red; you don't have any sympathy at all."
Di Ruihe paid no mind to her complaint and urgently asked, "Speak, how did you get in here?"
Taking out her work ID, Jiang Ziyu sat up from her chair. "Jiang Corporation is collaborating with Di Jue Group, so I am considered a member of Di Jue Group's staff now."
Jiang Corporation and Di Jue Group are collaborating?
How was that possible!
Di Ruihe snatched the work ID from her hand and checked both sides. Upon seeing the unique logo, he was even more shocked.
"Di Mingjue agreed?"
"Of course. Do you think I need your consent?"
Jiang Feifei patted her wrinkled clothes and looked at him triumphantly.
Without him, Jiang Corporation could still cooperate with Di Jue Group. Thinking of Di Ruihe's attitude at the time, Jiang Feifei felt a surge of anger.
Standing up from her chair, Jiang Feifei took back her work ID from his hand. "We will be seeing each other often from now on. I hope you'll take care of me."
With that, she swayed her slender waist and left.
Di Ruihe leaned his hands on the desk, utterly unable to comprehend why Di Mingjue would suddenly choose to collaborate with Jiang Corporation.
Was it a deliberate move to spite him?
No, a person as proud as him wouldn't stoop so low.
Di Ruihe couldn't figure it out. He picked up his phone and dispatched people to investigate discreetly.
The collaboration between the two companies caused a degree of tension among some individuals.
Mu Liangchen, after uncovering a clue, immediately relayed the information to Jiang Ziyu.
However, at this moment, Jiang Ziyu was exhausted and in Di Mingjue's office, facing his cold demeanor.
After much thought, Jiang Ziyu questioned again, "Why did you choose Jiang Corporation?"
After a long pause, Di Mingjue responded as if taking a break from his busy schedule, "To help my father-in-law out of his urgent situation."
"But you know I don't like Jiang Corporation and don't wish for it to escape its predicament," Jiang Ziyu stated plainly.
