Chapter 17 Showdown, stop pretending

Noon, rest time.

In the stairwell of the company, Xu Zhiyan sternly warned Zhong Yun, "You are not allowed to tell anyone in the company about our blind date."

Zhong Yun thought she had suddenly dragged him here to say something, but that was all. He said impatiently, "I don't have time to gossip about these things with others. I'm busy."

After saying that, he was about to go back, but was stopped by Xu Zhiyan again, "Okay, delete our chat history, delete it now."

Zhong Yun was very upset by her bossy tone. He scratched his ear with his little finger and said, "Are you ordering me around now? Watch your attitude. You should act in a begging manner when asking for help."

Xu Zhiyan stamped her feet in anger, "You——"

Zhong Yun ignored her and was about to leave.

"Don't leave."

Xu Zhiyan pulled him back and said angrily, "I was blind and deceived by you, so I sent you that message. You want everyone in the company to know that I took the initiative to ask you out, to satisfy your self-esteem, right?"

She had an angry look on her face, as if to say, "I don't know you yet."

Zhong Yun couldn't help but laugh, "No, when did I lie to you? Don't be so dramatic, okay? Is being pursued by you something worth bragging about? You're crazy. I deleted those chat records a long time ago."

Xu Zhiyan insisted, "I don't believe it. Show me your phone."

"believe it or not."

Zhong Yun shook off her hand, opened the fire door and walked out.

If Xu Zhiyan spoke nicely, he wouldn't mind showing her his phone.

But with her attitude, he will definitely not be in a good mood. Doesn’t he owe her something?
……

Zhong Yun rested for a while in the reception room and continued writing in the afternoon.

At around four o'clock, he heard the sound of a door being pushed open. He turned around and saw Chaozi sticking his head in, his face full of gossip.

He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chaozi flashed in, came up to him, and asked curiously, "Brother Yun, have you really been in a relationship with Xu Zhiyan?"

"..."

Zhong Yun asked him, "Who told you that?"

"It's already spread, so don't hide it from me."

He flatly denied it, "It's fake, it's a rumor."

Chaozi said, "But they spread it with details..."

"Do you think she'd like me?"

This sentence is almost always effective.

Chaozi thought about it and it made sense. Although Xu Zhiyan had just arrived at the company, it was obvious that she was a very snobbish woman with high standards. How could she possibly fall for a driver?
He said, "I said it was impossible. They didn't believe it--"

As he said that, he suddenly reacted, looked at Zhong Yun, and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Yun, that's not what I meant?"

Zhong Yun didn't care and just said, "Don't spread these rumors in the future. It makes everyone embarrassed."

"Got it. By the way, let me tell you a secret, Ren Gang likes Xu Zhiyan." Chaozi whispered, "He just heard that you are Xu Zhiyan's ex-boyfriend, and his face was very unhappy."

Zhong Yun was a little surprised.

Ren Gang is such a frugal and stingy person, but he actually likes Xu Zhiyan's type. I really can't believe it.

……

Xu Zhiyan, the person involved, was kept in the dark until she got off work and went home with Luo Qiaoling.

Luo Qiaoling asked curiously, "Is Zhong Yun really your ex-boyfriend?"

When Xu Zhiyan heard her words, she exploded, "This bastard, he said he wouldn't tell anyone else..."

Is that true?

Luo Qiaoling was very surprised. At first, she didn't believe the rumor.

When she was in college, Xu Zhiyan had two boyfriends, one was a rich second-generation, and the other was a handsome student union minister.

How could she possibly fall for Zhong Yun?
Although Zhong Yun was good-looking and 1.8 meters tall, he was just a driver. It was impossible for him to be in Xu Zhiyan's range of mates.

Now, looking at Xu Zhiyan’s reaction, the two of them really did get along.

Luo Qiaoling asked curiously, "When did it happen? Why haven't you told me about it?"

Xu Zhiyan said angrily, "I was deceived by him. At that time, it was a blind date arranged by my former company's leader. On that day, he drove a luxury car, wore branded clothes, and pretended to be a rich second-generation. I thought that since it was arranged by the leader, I must be trustworthy, so I got together with him without thinking. Who knew that he was a liar!"

"Luckily, I realized it early. In less than a week, I discovered his true face and didn't suffer any loss." After hearing such explosive gossip, Luo Qiaoling finally understood why Xu Zhiyan reacted so strongly when she first met Zhong Yun.

After that, he was displeased with Zhong Yun in every way.

There is actually such a story between the two of them.

I didn’t expect you to be such a Zhong Yun!

……

The next day, Zhong Yun arrived at the company and found that everyone in that department looked at him strangely, especially several female colleagues.

He was a little confused at first, but when he went to the toilet one day, he heard Ren Gang say indignantly, "I didn't expect he was such a person, pretending to be a rich second-generation and deceiving ignorant girls."

"Don't be jealous. I think you are jealous. You can drive a luxury car to pick up girls every day..."

Zhong Yun knew that it must be Xu Zhiyan who was spreading rumors about him.

She packaged herself as a victim. No one would laugh at her for falling in love with a driver. They would only sympathize with her for being deceived by a scumbag.

"I never thought that one day, I would be called a scumbag."

He thought it was quite fresh.

In this era, scumbag is not an insulting word.

Suddenly, Ren Gang and another male colleague came out of the toilet and ran into him. They both had embarrassed looks on their faces, as if they wanted to explain but didn't know what to say.

Zhong Yun just smiled and walked past them.

As the ancients said, rumors stop at the wise.

It’s not that the ancients didn’t want to dispel rumors, but that they couldn’t do it.

It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to clarify them. He doesn't waste time, he might as well write a few more chapters if he has that time.

Reputation is only important if you value it. If you don't care about it, it's shit.

If someone asks him about this, he will just say, let's be frank, I won't pretend anymore, I am a scumbag!
……

In a spacious office.

Su Wan looked at Meng Jiaen who was sitting opposite her and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for two years. You are getting more and more beautiful."

Meng Jiaen smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Wan is beautiful, and she is getting younger and younger."

"How is it, are you used to working here?"

"It's okay. My aunt told me to listen to your advice more in the company."

Su Wan was somewhat surprised to see Meng Jiaen being so well-behaved.

She had heard Ye Qing say many times that her niece was rebellious. Doesn't this seem like a good thing? She also understands the ways of the world.

The two chatted for a while.

Meng Jiaen asked casually, "By the way, Sister Wan, I saw you coming to the company in a man's car this morning. Is that your boyfriend?"

Su Wan smiled and said, "That's my driver."

Meng Jiaen added, "Oh, so it's the driver. I heard from my aunt that you even arranged a blind date for him. You are so nice to your driver."

Su Wan said, "Your aunt really tells you everything."

Meng Jiaen was already certain that Su Wan didn't know that she was the one going on a blind date with Zhong Yun, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted like this.

Ye Qing, Ye Qing, you are so nice. You actually introduced a driver to me.

You want to play, right? Let’s see who can beat who!
Meng Jiaen drank a cup of tea, then stood up and said goodbye, "Sister Wan, I won't disturb you from working." Then she left.

After leaving the office, she took out her cell phone, found her "boyfriend", and sent him a message, "Honey, are you free at noon?"

Meng Jiaen didn't receive a reply until she returned to her office. So she sent another message, "I want to talk to you about the cost of the last overnight stay."

Soon, the other party replied, "I'm at work, you can transfer the money directly via WeChat."

With a smile on her face, she replied, "No, I can't just ask for the price you want. We have to negotiate in person. I'm near your company and will meet you at the hot pot restaurant next door at noon."

"That's it."

"I'll treat."

"What time is it?"
