CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 197 ROMANCE ON THE MOUNTAIN (LARGE CHAPTER, SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST)_3

And the reason why they divorced later was because Old Jiang had a son with his secretary.

But before Zhang Jingdong was reborn, there was a twist in the tale.

One day, for some unknown reason, Old Jiang suddenly took the son he had with his secretary for a paternity test, only to discover that the son wasn’t biologically his!

Many people at the company felt this was karma for Old Jiang, including Zhang Jingdong, mainly because Old Jiang was just too greedy.

Zhang Jingdong had worked at the company for seven or eight years without a raise.

When Zhang Jingdong first joined the company, Old Jiang drove an Audi A6, but by the time of Zhang Jingdong’s rebirth, Old Jiang had upgraded to a Mercedes Benz G-Class.

Purely I devoted myself to the company, just to get the boss a big G.

The worst part was, Old Jiang always preached about diligence and not being greedy.

As a result, Zhang Jingdong had to work overtime at least 5 extra days a month, without any overtime pay, and sometimes even meal expenses weren’t reimbursed.

Having been reborn, Zhang Jingdong never imagined he’d get such a "repayment" opportunity against Old Jiang, so he secretly decided to give Old Jiang a "surprise" as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingdong then said to Chu Yi, "If you put it that way, we really are fated. I was originally going to Tianmu Mountain today, but somehow, just before leaving, I suddenly decided to come to Si Long Mountain."

"Then I was planning to stay over at Si Long Mountain for one night, but suddenly the company called me about an important client coming over, so I had to come down from the mountain."

"Haha, if there had been any issues in any part of today’s events, we may not have met, but as it stands, we did meet. It seems like that saying ’fate brings people together no matter the distance’ really applies here!"

After hearing the last sentence, a blush suddenly appeared on Chu Yi’s face.

Although she felt that Zhang Jingdong’s words were a bit much, he had helped her after all, so she didn’t counter it.

However, Zhang Jingdong noticed her embarrassment, so he stopped teasing her and focused on changing the tire.

After another two minutes, he spoke up again, "I’ve actually grown quite fond of hiking recently. Where are you planning to hike next? Give me a call then, so we can possibly watch out for each other?"

Chu Yi felt something was off from Zhang Jingdong’s earlier words, and when he directly asked her out, she panicked a bit, "I... haven’t really thought about it yet..."

Seeing her eyes wandering, Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but laugh, "You don’t think I’m hitting on you, do you?"

"Although you are pretty, to tell the truth, I’m not that rash."

"I invited you because I genuinely like hiking recently, and you also bear a strong resemblance to my cousin, so I’m genuinely concerned you might encounter similar troubles outdoors if you’re not as lucky to run into me again."

"So rather than that, why don’t we just go together? That way, if something happens, I’ll be there to help you handle it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi suddenly realized she had misunderstood Zhang Jingdong.

Then she thought again, indeed, with him being rich, handsome, and young, how could he possibly be interested in someone like her.

Besides, seeing the sincerity in Zhang Jingdong’s eyes at that moment, she felt both embarrassed and a bit ashamed as she said, "I’m sorry, well... if that’s the case, let’s exchange contact information later. You helped me this time; I’d like to find a chance to thank you!"

Seeing her finally agreeing, Zhang Jingdong smiled and nodded, "That’s settled then."

After saying this, he sped up his operations, and in less than five minutes, he was done.

Then he casually pulled out a business card to give Chu Yi, "Here’s my contact. Call me when you need."

Chu Yi smiled tenderly, "Alright."

She took the business card with both hands, glanced at it, and then tucked it into her bag.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Zhang Jingdong watched Chu Yi drive off, then turned around to get into his own car.

At this moment, Su Man gave him a sideways glance, "If it were just some regular beauty, you probably would have finished in half the time, right? Seems like you’ve got an eye for her?"

Zhang Jingdong smirked, "Shouldn’t you sympathize with her a bit? Her car broke down in this desolate place, she couldn’t find anyone to help her. If it were you, no matter where you are, a single distress call and I’d be there in no time to fix everything!"

"So you should feel fortunate instead of questioning me, shouldn’t you?"

Su Man pursed her lips, "Alright, she is indeed quite pitiful!"

But then she thought of something else, "But she’s also quite lucky to have met you and even got your contact!"

"So, if she encounters a similar situation next time, she probably won’t panic!"

Zhang Jingdong lifted her chin, "You’re still able to sassy talk, huh? Looks like it’s necessary to give you another lesson in morals."

Su Man panicked, "You... you’re crazy, we’re on the road... mm..."

"Congratulations to the host for achieving creative contact with the target character in a special environment, awarded 2 million yuan!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong wiped Su Man’s mouth, "Can you remember now to not be cheeky when you talk?"

Su Man while tidying her messy hair, nodded obediently, "Who made you so awesome, I remember!"

Half an hour later, the car drove into the city.

Zhang Jingdong turned to Su Man, "Where are you heading?"

"I’m going to training, just drop me off at Yuehai Building."

"Alright."

Another twenty minutes passed, and the car slowly stopped in front of Yuehai Building.

Before getting off, Su Man suddenly said to Zhang Jingdong, "Are you going home tonight? An An... misses you a lot!"

Zhang Jingdong instantly understood, and also remembered that it had been a while since he was with her.

He immediately said, "Got it, I’ll go to see her now. Both of you are my students, I gave you special treatment today, I can’t favor one over another, can I?"

"So, are you taking her to a hotel later?"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, "I remember last time she said she got a promotion, she now has her own office."

Su Man was instantly shocked, "You... are you sure? That’s quite... bold."

Zhang Jingdong touched his nose, "Since you don’t believe it, let’s give you a call then."

Seeing Zhang Jingdong wasn’t joking, a different kind of expectation flashed in Su Man’s eyes, "Okay!"
