Chapter 287 Who gave you permission to touch my phone?
Yunzhi glanced at the time, then at the door to Cheng Shuyan's office, and asked in a low voice, "How long have they been inside?"
"About an hour."
An hour? Yunzhi walked over and pushed open the door. The moment the door opened, Yunzhi's pupils shrank. She saw a woman wearing a super short leather skirt and black stockings lying on top of Cheng Shuyan. Her long flaxen hair was draped over Cheng Shuyan's chest. From Yunzhi's angle, their posture was extremely ambiguous.
The secretary standing behind Yunzhi also saw the ambiguous scene between President Cheng and Miss Tan through the gap. His expression changed, he closed his eyes and silently prayed for his boss, then pretended to be blind, knowing that sometimes knowing too much was not good for him.
"Didn't I say we were discussing business..." Before Miss Tan could finish speaking, Cheng Shuyan shoved her away. With a thud, Miss Tan fell to the ground with a thud. She cried out, her watery eyes looking at Cheng Shuyan with a pitiful and aggrieved expression. If it were anyone else, they would probably have helped her up with heartache.
But Cheng Shuyan didn't even give her a second glance.
Cheng Shuyan straightened up, looking at the doorway in a panic. His hand, hanging by his side, trembled slightly, and his thin lips were deathly pale. He was nowhere to be seen in his usual composed demeanor. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed unconsciously, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter two words through his teeth, "Zhizhi."
Yunzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze shifting from Miss Tan to Cheng Shuyan, a cold smile playing on her lips. "It seems I've come at the wrong time, ruining your plans."
Yunzhi's eyes were devoid of any emotion, and her calm words stirred up a storm in Cheng Shuyan's heart: "No..."
"Young lady, you've misunderstood. I just lost my balance and tripped. Mr. Cheng helped me up. We're really nothing, Mr. Cheng, don't you think?" Miss Tan stood up from the ground. She drew out her words, her sweet voice sounding like flirting and coquettishness. She winked at Cheng Shuyan, as if hinting at something to him.
Upon seeing this scene, Yunzhi felt a surge of anger rising within her.
She gritted her teeth, but before she could speak, she saw Cheng Shuyan frown, take a step back, and distance himself from Miss Tan, displaying a strong sense of male virtue by distancing himself from her.
"I didn't help you up, you just suddenly threw yourself at me, like you're sick. Zhizhi, believe me, I really have nothing to do with her. I don't know what's wrong with her, she just stood up and started acting all dramatic, covering her forehead and saying she was dizzy. I don't know if she has some kind of infectious disease."
Cheng Shuyan bluntly distanced himself from Miss Tan, nearly infuriating her, who had only recently started working there. She stared wide-eyed at the man who had linked her to an infectious disease—this man was the one who was sick! Seriously sick!
Ms. Tan took a deep breath and calmed herself down for a long time before she managed to keep from exploding.
Yunzhi, who was standing to the side, was not angry at all; in fact, she almost burst out laughing.
"Zhizhi, why didn't you tell me you were coming? If I had known, I would have picked you up." Cheng Shuyan said, walking to Yunzhi's side, taking her hand, ignoring Miss Tan's murderous glare, and pulling her to sit on the single sofa next to him.
Cheng Shuyan's face has scars from surgery, but it hasn't fully healed yet, and most of her face is currently wrapped in bandages.
"I wanted to tell you, but when I called you, you hung up on me." Yunzhi said, propping her head up with one hand and staring straight at Miss Tan.
Miss Tan's expression froze. She thought of the phone call she had just hung up. She hadn't expected the person in question to appear in front of her so soon. She admitted that she had liked Cheng Shuyan for a long time, but her father always felt that he was not good enough for Cheng Shuyan and was afraid that if they didn't become in-laws, they would become enemies, which would affect the company and the entire Tan family.
Now that her father is hospitalized, she finally has the power to make decisions. In addition, Cheng Shuyan's company has recently been embroiled in a public opinion storm. She feels that negotiating a cooperation with Cheng Shuyan on behalf of her father at this time is like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Cheng Shuyan will definitely be grateful to her. It's just a phone call, so what?
Miss Tan grew up being fawned over and had always considered herself superior. Even knowing Yun Zhi's true identity, she didn't take Yun Zhi seriously. In her eyes, the Yun Group's sudden desire to shift its focus to China and get a share of the profits was simply because they couldn't make it abroad and wanted to come back to China to make money. To Miss Tan, Yun Zhi was just a daughter of a fallen family and not worthy of being compared to her.
Fortunately, Yunzhi didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have laughed out loud in anger.
Cheng Shuyan didn't notice the strange behavior between the two. When he heard Yunzhi say that she had called him, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "No way, I didn't answer your call just now, and I certainly wouldn't hang up on you."
Cheng Shuyan would never let go of Yunzhi's call, even if it involved a business deal worth billions. If he saw Yunzhi's call, he would be overjoyed and would never hang up on her.
"Who knows? Anyway, a woman answered the phone. Before I could even say two words, she said I was busy and hung up. Who was this person? Miss Tan, do you know?" Yunzhi looked at Miss Tan with a half-smile, almost naming her.
Miss Tan glanced at Cheng Shuyan, then at Yunzhi, and looked unusually guilty.
Cheng Shuyan's face instantly turned cold, and his voice, as cold as ice, carried a questioning tone, "Who told you to answer my call?"
"I... I didn't say anything wrong. You were busy, so why would I hand over my phone to you?" Ms. Tan's guilty conscience lasted less than two seconds before she became self-righteous. She crossed her arms, stuck out her neck, and didn't realize that she was wrong at all.
"You." Cheng Shuyan gritted his teeth, his face turning pale and then red. Yunzhi, on the other hand, was curious. "Why couldn't she give you her phone?"
Cheng Shuyan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, seemingly finding it difficult to speak. After a mental struggle, he lowered his voice and explained to Yunzhi, "I had an upset stomach and went to the restroom without my phone. You must have called her around that time and she answered. Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I really didn't know she was so audacious as to answer my call so casually."
Yunzhi's lips twitched slightly, and she finally understood what Miss Tan meant.
She raised her eyes, her calm gaze seemingly able to see through people's hearts, and stared directly at Miss Tan. "Miss Tan, it is impolite to answer other people's calls without permission. Is this the kind of upbringing Miss Tan has?"
