Chapter 113 Two people get into an argument, Lin Zhi falls and has a stomachache.
Li Tingze knew Lin Zhi's personality all too well.
The fact that she could stand there without pushing Jiang Nan away means that she didn't dislike Jiang Nan.
They might even have been tempted.
The man is unmarried, and the woman is divorced.
Given time, as Jiang Nan and Lin Zhi's contact becomes more and more frequent, they will gradually develop feelings for each other, and Lin Zhi will forget the man she once loved, and in the end, her eyes and heart will be filled with Jiang Nan.
Thinking of this, Li Tingze's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He was unwilling to accept that Lin Zhi, who had once been devoted to him, had changed her mind and fallen in love with another man.
Moreover, this man was the illegitimate child of the mistress who broke up his parents' marriage.
If this gets out, how will the Li family save face? Where will he put his face?
He cannot allow the wrong path to continue.
Neither Lin Zhi nor Jiang Nan can make him lose face.
……
Three days later.
After finishing her work, Jiang Nan was about to go have lunch with Lin Zhi when she was stopped by Li Tingze's assistant at the office door.
He frowned slightly and asked with displeasure, "Did Brother Tingze want to see me about something?"
The assistant handed Jiang Nan a personnel transfer document.
The voice was cold as it said, "President Jiang, this is President Li's transfer notice to you. Please take a look. If there are no problems, please report to your post as scheduled."
Jiang Nan had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
He quickly opened the notice and looked at the words on it, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.
The group decided that he would go to Singapore in a week to serve as the executive CEO of the overseas branch for a term of three years. If he could double the branch's net profit within three years, he could return to the group headquarters as vice president.
This was indeed a rare opportunity for him.
But just as his relationship with Lin Zhi was beginning to improve, Li Tingze was about to transfer him to Singapore.
Thinking about it this way, Li Tingze did this to get rid of him and prevent his relationship with Lin Zhi from developing further.
He immediately refused the transfer: "My project is not yet finished, so I will not accept this transfer. I hope you can go back and tell Brother Tingze to find someone more suitable than me to go to Singapore. As for the vice president position, I will definitely prove myself in other ways and obtain it."
"Mr. Jiang, you must have misunderstood." The assistant gave a complicated smile and continued, "This is a transfer notice, not a proposal asking you to make a decision. Old Master Li has already given his approval. He also hopes that you can take up a post in Singapore and contribute to the Li family business."
Jiang Nan asked, utterly perplexed, "Why did Grandpa do this to me?"
The assistant didn't want to say anything, but seeing Jiang Nan's persistent look, he boldly reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, you've touched someone you shouldn't have. Miss Lin was personally chosen by the old man for Mr. Li to be Mrs. Li, and she must be the future mistress of the Li family. Although Miss Lin and Mr. Li have gone through divorce proceedings, it's only temporary."
"If you're divorced, you're divorced. Why distinguish between temporary and non-temporary?" Jiang Nan was speechless.
"Miss Lin is carrying the future heir of the Li family. Do you think the old man will just let it go and let you do whatever you want? Or are you planning to go against the old man and give up your identity as the second young master of the Li family?"
The assistant had already made his point so bluntly that he didn't linger and turned to leave.
Jiang Nan stood there, watching the retreating figure, clenching her jaw, her heart filled with resentment.
Just then, Lin Zhi's call came in.
He hesitated for more than ten seconds, but ultimately did not dare to answer the phone.
He had just returned to the Li family and couldn't let matters of the heart ruin everything his mother had worked so hard to achieve.
Only when he has fully developed his own power will he have autonomy.
Jiang Nan returned to her office, watching the sunset slowly fade in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then seeing the dazzling lights that suddenly lit up, feeling extremely heartbroken.
He experienced the pain of unrequited love for the first time.
The moment he first saw Lin Zhi, he was drawn to the resilient spirit she exuded.
He was so careful in the Li family, but Lin Zhi was completely different.
She was so indifferent to everything he cared about.
Recalling the scene from a few days ago when the two of them were watching fireworks on the terrace and he forcibly kissed her, his eyes reddened.
After much deliberation, Jiang Nan made her decision.
When he appeared in Li Tingze's office, Li Tingze was not surprised at all.
Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sneer, "You've come at the perfect time. I just brewed some hot tea. Come and have a sip. This is the Spring Bamboo Shoot and Green Snail Tea, which can only be enjoyed once a year."
Jiang Nan sat down opposite Li Tingze, staring at his handsome face that looked down on everyone.
After a long pause, she finally spoke softly, "I can go to Singapore, but I'd like to go a month later."
Li Tingze placed the teacup in front of Jiang Nan, seeing right through her little scheme.
He gave a cold laugh and replied, "I know what you're thinking. You can go to Singapore with peace of mind. I'll take care of everything for Lin Zhi in setting up her brand company, so you don't need to worry about it."
Jiang Nan didn't say anything more.
He stared silently at the teacup on the table.
The hand under the tea table unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Neither of them continued saying what they should or shouldn't have said.
When leaving.
Jiang Nan walked to the office door, suddenly stopped, looked at the aloof Li Tingze, and said softly, "Even if you transfer me to Singapore, Zhi'er will never love you again."
Li Tingze was silent for a moment before replying, "Are you so sure that she loves you?"
Jiang Nan was slightly taken aback and was speechless.
He naturally dared not believe that Lin Zhi had feelings for him or loved him.
After seeing Jiang Nan off, Li Tingze didn't feel particularly happy; instead, he felt a tightness in his chest.
Jiang Nan is right. Even if he gets rid of Jiang Nan from Lin Zhi's side, Lin Zhi's heart will not continue to love him.
What separates him from Lin Zhi is not Jiang Nan, but an irreparable wound.
In the past, he had hurt Lin Zhi deeply.
During this time, he felt extremely agitated whenever he thought about how his relationship with Lin Zhi could never go back to what it was before. Whenever this happened, he would try to numb himself with alcohol.
But this time, even the strong liquor he drank couldn't numb his aching heart.
He took advantage of his drunkenness to approach Lin Zhi, but Lin Zhi refused to open the door to see him. He had no choice but to resort to thuggish tactics, banging on the door and shouting Lin Zhi's name, demanding that she open the door to see him.
Lin Zhi was so bothered that she had no choice but to open the door.
She looked coldly at Li Tingze, who reeked of alcohol, and said coldly, "Li Tingze, please stop causing trouble in front of my door. I don't mind calling the police right now and having them take you away."
Li Tingze tried to push Lin Zhi's hand away and enter her house, but Lin Zhi blocked the doorway with her entire body, not giving him a chance to barge in.
Li Tingze gripped her wrist tightly, his words icy cold: "Are you keeping your distance from me because you're afraid Jiang Nan will misunderstand?"
Lin Zhi didn't want to say anything more to Li Tingze, who was drunk and acting crazy.
She turned to close the door, but Li Tingze suddenly pushed her harder, knocking her to the ground.
Because it was so sudden, Lin Zhi was unable to protect her stomach in time.
The moment she fell to the ground, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
She clutched her stomach, her face turning pale: "My stomach hurts so much..."
