"So in situations , you must learn to understand and adapt. It’s really not convenient to take you in, get it?"
Long Yue read into Zhang Jingdong’s eyes at that moment, knowing he probably had some sort of relationship with the female factory director and feared it would be awkward for him to take advantage of her with Long Yue present.
Moreover, the scene she had observed upon entering was indeed as Zhang Jingdong had described, and his attitude at the moment was very resolute.
So she paused for a moment and then said, "Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll wait for you in the car."
"But if you haven’t finished talking after an hour, I must pop in... I just want to make sure you’re safe!"
Seeing she agreed, Zhang Jingdong quickly responded, "Okay, no problem!"
Zhang Jingdong was about to get out of the car when suddenly he remembered something, then he said, "Oh right, you left something the day you left, I picked it up for you."
"Lost something?" Long Yue was slightly stunned, "Mine? That’s impossible, right?"
Zhang Jingdong’s right hand suddenly brushed over her shoulder, and then a diamond necklace suddenly appeared around her neck.
Long Yue was first startled, then said, "This... this isn’t mine."
Zhang Jingdong laughed, "It wasn’t yours before, but it is yours now... consider it compensation for those few days."
"No need, you don’t owe me anything."
Long Yue said and tried to take off the necklace to give it back to Zhang Jingdong.
Zhang Jingdong immediately said, "If you dare to take it off, then I might often be uncooperative with you at work!"
Seeing Long Yue getting anxious, Zhang Jingdong continued, "How about this, let’s temporarily treat it as a prop for your work. As long as you wear it, I find you more pleasing to the eye and will then fully cooperate with your work. And when you no longer work as my bodyguard, you can give it back to me. Does that sound okay?"
"But this necklace is too precious, I’m afraid..."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already insured it. Even if you lose it, the insurance company will take care of it, it won’t cost you a penny."
"No, I mean the necklace is too precious, wearing it will make me very noticeable, and that’s detrimental to my hiding my identity."
Zhang Jingdong was taken aback, then said, "Given my current status, if there isn’t at least one or two pieces of expensive jewelry on my female companion, that would be more likely to draw attention!"
"With this necklace, they’ll subconsciously think you’re my girlfriend, not my bodyguard."
Long Yue thought quickly and felt that this guy made sense, and he had also said if she didn’t wear the necklace, he wouldn’t cooperate at work.
She had been with him the longest lately, so she knew his character best. The guy’s domineering and obstinate nature was sometimes unimaginable.
So she reluctantly nodded, "Alright, you make sense. I’ll listen to you then."
Seeing that she finally agreed, Zhang Jingdong took a deep look at the necklace around her neck, "Tsk, so beautiful!"
And then he got out of the car efficiently.
Long Yue watched his figure gradually move away until he completely disappeared from her sight, then she looked down at the necklace around her neck.
After a while, a hint of blush appeared on her face.
Zhang Jingdong came downstairs, just about to go up, when his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw it was Shu Ran.
He immediately answered, "Hello, Teacher Shu."
"Zhang Jingdong, do you have time this afternoon?"
Zhang Jingdong paused, then said, "Hearing you ask, of course, I have time."
"We’re leaving on a trip tomorrow, and today I need to prepare some specialized clothing and shoes for you, because outdoor activities have high requirements for these. It’s best for you to try them in person, and you can also pick some outdoor gear you like. Do you want to come?"
"So it’s like that, then fine, I’ll come to you at four o’clock in the afternoon."
"Alright... also... is there something else?"
"When the time comes, a very good friend of mine will also be there, do you see... is that okay?"
"Obviously, a female."
"Great, then I’ll wait for you at home. Continue with what you’re doing, bye."
After hanging up, Zhang Jingdong looked up at the building, then quickly went upstairs.
Upon reaching the director’s office, he knocked twice.
Soon a voice from inside said, "Come in."
He immediately opened the door and entered.
To his surprise, there was nobody behind the office desk!
And just at that moment, Liang Feng suddenly rushed out from behind the door, grabbed his arm, and went straight for a shoulder throw.
And after Zhang Jingdong hit the ground, she followed up with a series of combo attacks.
Because she caught him off guard, and her combos were clearly well-practiced, Zhang Jingdong was on the defensive in those dozen or so moves.
But his strength ultimately surpassed Liang Feng’s, so she never managed to completely subdue him.
Then after another twenty or so moves, Zhang Jingdong caught a lapse in Liang Feng’s defense and began a counterattack.
In less than ten moves, he had subdued Liang Feng again.
Zhang Jingdong quickly regulated his breathing, then said, "President Liang, as a retired soldier, resorting to sneaking attacks seems a bit dishonorable, doesn’t it?"
Liang Feng pursed her lips, "Back when we were soldiers, our combat method was if the frontal force was weaker than the enemy’s, we had to flank from the side or sneak an attack from behind. So, there’s nothing wrong with what I did."
