Chapter 329 Then I'll call him and have him tell you...
Chapter 329 Then I'll call him and have him tell you...
"Ok?"
Jing Yu was taken aback, wondering what this meant.
I deliberately came out like this to annoy him, but he seems to like it quite a bit?
Having eaten too much meat and fish in my daily life, how come I now enjoy such a vegetarian meal?
"Ahem... Manager Zhang, could we go down to the lobby? There are too many flowers here, and I'm allergic to them!"
Jing Yu covered his nose and made up a lie; he didn't want to stay here with this person for another second.
I feel like I'm in danger if I stay here even a second longer...
This guy's eyes were practically scanning me head over heels...
Zhang Hongzhuang slapped his forehead and said:
"Oh dear, I'm allergic to flowers... Honestly, I shouldn't have bothered to check beforehand. Okay, okay, can we change to another private room?"
"Oh, no..."
Jing Yu immediately interrupted him, pursed her lips, and continued:
"Actually... I also have claustrophobia. I still want to go down to the lobby. You should be able to grant me this small request, right?"
Zhang Hongzhuang stared at Jing Yu for a few seconds, then narrowed his eyes. Jing Yu felt a little uncomfortable; she knew she couldn't lie.
She's very nervous and afraid that Zhang Hongzhuang will expose her lies... because she knows she'll be found out as soon as she lies.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Zhang Hongzhuang opened his eyes, chuckled, and said:
"Of course! Of course, no problem! You're different from everyone else, I like it when you tell a little white lie. It's alright, let's go downstairs then."
While secretly pleased, Jing Yu also wanted to curse...
He likes this too? I should have done the opposite; the more flamboyant I dressed, the better. Maybe then she wouldn't have been interested...
Jing Yu didn't reply, and went downstairs to the lobby with Zhang Hongzhuang.
Although there weren't many customers in the lobby at this point, the spaciousness and the presence of waiters made her feel much better...
If she continued to stay in that private room with this guy, she was really going to develop claustrophobia...
Jing Yu glanced at the time; it was already 8:10. Zhou Heng and the others should have finished class by now, right? When would they be here...?
Can I hold on until they arrive?
At this moment, Zhang Hongzhuang had finished ordering and sat there looking at Jing Yu with a lewd smile on his face.
Jing Yu pretended to be very busy, looking away and avoiding eye contact with Zhang Hongzhuang...
"Hehehe, I heard you want a spot in this event, right? You should know I'm in charge, right? You also know your competition is fierce, right? But it's just a matter of a word from me..."
Zhang Hongzhuang leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, smiled slightly, and spoke with a threatening tone...
Jing Yu lowered his head, expecting him to lay the groundwork first, but he didn't expect him to be so direct, getting straight to the point...
Jing Yu put on a forced smile, looked up at Zhang Hongzhuang, and said softly:
"Oh, I see... Manager Zhang, since it's that simple, just tell me and give me this spot, I'll be very grateful."
"Oh? How do you plan to thank me?"
Zhang Hongzhuang leaned forward, trying to reach out his hand, but Jing Yu immediately pulled her hand back, not giving him any chance...
"Shall I bow to you in gratitude, give you a small gift, or perhaps slip you a red envelope? Is that alright?"
"Haha, they're just young people, they really don't know anything..."
Zhang Hongzhuang chuckled a few times, then rested his chin on his hand, squinted at Jing Yu, and whispered:
"Do you know... how everyone else does it? I don't think I need to teach you, right? Don't worry, I'll make sure you feel you've gotten more than your money's worth. It's not just about the spot in this event; my position at Junheng is quite high, and I can often help you in the future..."
Jing Yu's lips twitched, and he whispered:
"No way, Manager Zhang... I've heard that Junheng's supervision department is very strict. Isn't your behavior a violation of regulations?"
"Hmph——"
Zhang Hongzhuang chuckled, tapped the table, and continued:
"Afraid of this? I'm not bragging, but the deputy director of the inspection department is my good buddy. With him around, he can cover for me no matter what..."
"Clap!"
Just then, a sound came from beside them, and two chairs were suddenly placed next to them...
Jing Yu and Zhang Hongzhuang were both startled. They looked up and glanced at each other, and Jing Yu's eyes immediately lit up!
It's Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran! They've arrived!
After Zhou Heng brought over two chairs, he and Yin Mengran sat down next to him.
Then, Zhou Heng crossed his legs, stroked his chin, stared at Zhang Hongzhuang, and whispered:
"Ah, never mind us, and then what? Go on..."
"No! Who are you?! What are you doing?!"
Zhang Hongzhuang immediately stood up, stared at the two men warily, frowned, and shouted.
"Shh—don't shout, don't shout..."
Zhou Heng reached out his hand in a gesture of stopping him, and continued:
"What are you shouting about in such an elegant place? It makes you look like a barbarian. Sit down and talk. I'm quite interested in what you just said and would like to hear it."
"Are you...are you leaving or not? I'm giving you one chance, get out of here now! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Zhang Hongzhuang pointed at the two of them, his tone forceful, clearly very angry.
He had just started showing off when these two guys interrupted him!
Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said:
"Oh dear... Manager Zhang, I forgot to mention, I'm sorry, actually I also have a family member working at Junheng, and I'd like to get closer to you, is that alright?"
"Pah! Who does he think he is, trying to get close to me? He's not even worthy to carry my shoes! Do you know what my status is at Junheng? Which manager doesn't give me face? I have people in every department who are very close to me. When I do things at Junheng, no one dares to object! Do you understand!"
While Zhang Hongzhuang was berating Zhou Heng, he also successfully put on a show of bravado, glancing at Jing Yu every now and then to see her reaction.
Generally speaking, this is the time to start flattering yourself, right?
Is this little girl slow to react? Didn't she understand?
"Wow... that powerful? So you're all-powerful in Junheng? Nobody can control you?"
Zhou Heng feigned surprise, spread his hands, and said.
"Nonsense! Come on, tell me what your family does, and I'll teach him a lesson when I get to work tomorrow! He dared to ruin my plans! He won't have an easy time either! Let me tell you, I have buddies in HR, and I'll get him kicked out of Junheng in the blink of an eye!"
Zhang Hongzhuang became increasingly excited as he spoke, slamming his hand on the table, attracting the attention of everyone present, who then focused their gaze on him...
Zhou Heng's expression remained calm. He exhaled, nodded, and then took his phone out of his pocket...
"Okay, since you put it that way, I'll call him and have him talk to you..."
