Chapter 1616: Chapter 1085: Zhou Zhiruo (Part 2)

Fang Qing laughed and said: “Do you think I own the company?”

“What’s the difference?”

Tong Dan inquired, then lowered her voice and said mysteriously: “And Qing Gege, don’t you feel isolated and unsupported alone at Tianci, like a single hand can’t clap? You know my skills, I’ll definitely be your best helper.”

“Have you been watching too many TV dramas?”

“What TV dramas?”

Tong Dan said: “This is how reality is. Although my work is different from yours, I’ve seen a lot. Which big company doesn’t have cliques and factions, or open and hidden struggles?”

Indeed.

Because of her work, Tong Dan has probably come into contact with quite a few business owners and big bosses.

“Qing Gege, ask yourself, did Jiang Chen’s girlfriend invite you to Tianci Capital really just for your talent? No other calculations? You and I are both women, can you really lie to yourself?”

“Then what do you think her calculations are?” Fang Qing asked softly.

Tong Dan seemed to have already thought about it, and without hesitation, said: “At least keep you under her watch, it’s easy to see whatever happens, right? At the same time, she can make you feel grateful, retreat as advance, and Jiang Chen might even think she’s generous. You’re right, this girl has a deep mind.”

Wait a minute.

Did Fang Qing say she had a deep mind?

Clearly, she said she was of high rank.

Directly altered others’ evaluations.

“Qing Gege, your IQ is definitely higher than hers, that’s without a doubt, but your emotional intelligence might not be.”

Tong Dan said seriously and sternly, “In this aspect, you really need me.”

Understanding how to effectively utilize resources is definitely not a shortcoming, nor a bad thing.

If you can’t hold onto Jiang Chen’s thigh, you can still hold onto a good sister’s.

Fang Qing looked at her.

Tong Dan looked back without dodging, creating a strong sense of trustworthiness.

But Fang Qing’s next simple question instantly broke her composure.

“Is your emotional intelligence… high?”

Tong Dan’s expression suddenly changed, then she abruptly stood up.

“Where are you going?”

Fang Qing held back her laughter.

“Pack my things. Heading home.”

Heading home.

Then just go.

Why are you standing still?

Waiting for someone to stop you?

Perhaps “not high emotional intelligence,” but as a legal professional, Fang Qing is naturally adept at reading people, “The room was booked for a week, leaving so soon is a waste.”

Tong Dan didn’t have a way down, “Stay here for what, to be bullied by you guys?”

“Who bullied you?”

“I already lost my job, in a terrible mood, and I’ve been so miserable, yet you still hit me when I’m down.”

Fang Qing really couldn’t hold it in, she found it both funny and exasperating.

Lost her job?

Wasn’t it you who insisted on resigning?

In a terrible mood?

Didn’t you have a great time chatting and laughing with your blind date in Tokyo?

“Alright, you said it yourself, so it’s a deal. If HR passes it, you can’t not come, and you can’t leave after a few days.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Dan finally sat back down.

“So what position will you arrange for me?”

“That depends on what positions are vacant.”

“No way, what if it’s a cleaning or dishwashing job.”

“Didn’t you just say serving tea and water is fine?”

“I said I can serve tea and water for you.”

Fang Qing of course knew her good sister was just saying that in jest.

That’s just her personality.

Don’t be fooled by how seriously she speaks; if you really let her into Tianci, she might not necessarily be willing. Otherwise, she could just go directly to Jiang Chen and negotiate.

“Recognizing kin” might be a bit much, but providing a job is no effort at all.

Jiang Chen can’t be that oblivious to such a small favor.

Keep in mind Tianci Capital is a “family business.”

No outsiders in the management.

“You have to think it through. If you join Tianci to work, it definitely won’t be as free as being a flight attendant. And you have to be prepared to learn and recharge.”

“Qing Gege, I haven’t even submitted my resume yet, and workplace PUA has already started?”

Tong Dan joked, then got a bit serious, “But seriously, with that Li Shuru, you really need to be careful. I know what you’re like, but as the saying goes, you shouldn’t have harmful intentions, but you should be cautious of others. Don’t become someone’s pawn without realizing it.”

“What do you mean?”

Fang Qing asked calmly.

Tong Dan rolled her eyes, “Don’t think I don’t know. Even though I don’t see Jiang Chen often, I interact with wealthy men almost every day. With Jiang Chen’s current social status and his wealth, I’m not putting him down, but even if he himself is a gentleman, a moral role model, there will be swarms of opportunistic women flocking to him.”

“In this world, there’s no saint. Once, twice, three times… he might resist temptation, but what about ten times, twenty times, a hundred times?”

“According to your logic, if men become bad when they have money, are you considering finding a regular guy?”

“Qing Gege, you really are in the legal profession, but did I ever say that men necessarily become bad when they’re rich? Not resisting temptation isn’t being bad; it’s a flaw of human nature. To judge a man’s character, you have to see if he values emotions and has a conscience.”

“Weren’t you all about female supremacy before? Why are you speaking on behalf of men now?”

“I’ve seen too much.”

Tong Dan sighed, “If you were doing my job for a while, you’d understand. I’ve seen some flight attendants go to great lengths to get close to wealthy bosses, even exchanging tips among themselves. In other company workgroups, some flight attendants even blatantly show off photos of big bosses taking them out for meals.”

Fang Qing remained silent.

“Qing Gege, can you blame those bosses for this? Even as a woman, I find their schemes terrifying.”

Suddenly, Tong Dan seemed to have realized something and stared at Fang Qing with a look of understanding.

“I understand why that Li Shuru was willing to let you come to Dongying. Tsk tsk, she’s definitely a master not inferior to Master Extinction.”

Master Extinction.

Actually, she might indeed become a great assistant.

What’s the most important thing in the legal profession?

Besides professional skills, it’s the ability to speak.

Having a slick tongue.

“Master Extinction, she’s younger than you.”

“How about Zhou Zhiruo then? Hmm, Zhou Zhiruo seems quite fitting for her.”

“Have you even seen her to make such random judgments?”

Fang Qing chuckled, “Have you stayed too long in your mentioned environment and now see everyone as not a good person?”

“I never said Zhou Zhiruo isn’t a good person. From her perspective, I actually quite understand her.”

Tong Dan mused to herself.

Alright.

Even empathizing now.

Fang Qing shook her head, hearing the vibration of a phone, “Your phone’s ringing.”

Tong Dan took out her phone from her pocket.

It’s Pan Yang.

Without avoiding or hiding, Tong Dan casually answered in front of Fang Qing.

“Hello.”

“Miss Tong, it’s me, am I bothering you?”

He’s nice.

But definitely a bit naive.

Still being so polite.

Tong Dan shrugged at Fang Qing, “I’m currently just relaxing, chatting with Mr. Fang, what’s up?”

“Uh, it’s this, I’m about to return home, so I want to treat you and Miss Fang to a meal, would you…”

“Have you sorted out your company’s matters?”

“My boss is staying here to continue discussions with the company, while I return home first.”

“Oh.”

Tong Dan said, “Then I’ll ask Fang Qing, see if she has time.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for Miss Tong’s news.”

“Bye.”

Tong Dan hung up the phone, “Pan Yang wants to treat us to a meal. Are you going?”

Fang Qing shook her head.

“Qing Gege, you were just lecturing me, where’s your manners?”

“You just want me to be the third wheel.”

“What third wheel, it’s just a meal. If you’re concerned, call Jiang Chen along. Though not sure if that big boss of his would be willing to join.”

If it’s any other dinner, Boss Jiang might not be interested.

But when it comes to Tong Dan’s blind date, he’s always been quite gossip-hungry.

“Aren’t you worried he’s going to talk nonsense?”

Tong Dan laughed.

“Then ask him if he’s afraid of me following you into Tianci.”
