Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

503 Chapter 504 Perfect Match

Thank you readers!

“Yes, and no…” Ziyuan shook her head and said, “What I’m about to say may sound ridiculous. The so-called ‘Third Lady’ is actually a nickname given to her by others. Everyone secretly calls her that, even though she feels that it’s very awkward. After all, she is the only daughter in the family, so how did she become the Third?”

“That’s a nickname?” I always thought she had a brother or sister as well… Generally speaking, the youngest child in the family was the most spoiled, so it was the easiest to develop a weird personality. For example, Chu Yuan in my family…

Ziyuan nodded and smiled. “She is a very strange and emotional person. When the elders in her family were still alive, they would always force her to attend some social cocktail parties, hoping that she would find a man she liked. Many men had approached her, but she ignored them all. Not to mention exchanging contact information, she even refused to tell people her name.

“It can be said that this kind of resistance is like something a rebellious child would do. So people who know her name began to stop calling her by her name. Eventually, in order to find a way to dress her and reduce the chance of being rejected, some people started to call her and her friends ‘three beautiful ladies’ when they wanted to invite her to drink or dance. After all, at that time, she always stayed with two other girls. One of those two girls was Min Rou. After returning to Bei Tian City, because no one in Bei Tian City knew about her relationship with the two other girls, and probably some people misheard it, so the three beautiful girls gradually became the Third Lady…”

It turned out this was why she was called ‘The Third Lady’. No wonder when I asked her if she was the Third Lady that night, she simply denied it.

Ziyuan paused, then said, “Xiao Nan, you asked Min Rou to arrange for you to meet with the Third Lady, right?”

I didn’t know why Ziyuan suddenly brought up this topic, so I responded, “Mhm, what’s wrong?”

“The Third Lady has already decided…” It was not because Ziyuan was afraid of others hearing it that she lowered her voice, but because when she said this, there was still some kind of struggle in her mind, and she seemed reluctant to say it. “Moon Valley has drawn up a letter of intent for cooperation, and now the two parties are negotiating some controversial details. When an agreement is reached and the contract is formally signed, the Third Lady will meet you in person and tell you everything. At that time, you will understand everything. Including why I came back from the United States…”

What was the connection between Fengchang and Moon Valley’s cooperation project and Ziyuan’s return?

I was very curious. But at this moment, Brother Wei and Qin Lan, who had gone to buy food, came back.

“What were you talking about?” Brother Wei asked me.

I had just said that I wouldn’t make Ziyuan feel troubled, so to hold back my curiosity, I turned to look at the two of them with a smile, and said, “We’re just curious if you are planning to make your relationship public? Otherwise, why do you need to buy a meal together?”

Brother Wei was a veteran in love, but he still blushed. He put two plates of steaming dishes in front of me, and scolded with a smile, “That’s because you’re just sitting here whispering to each other. Someone has to go and buy food, don’t you think? After all, our company’s cafeteria only has chefs but no waiters.”

“Didn’t you say that you would pay for this meal? Did you forget that?”

“Of course not,” Brother Wei said generously, “As long as you can get me an autograph of Wu Lefeng, I can even be your servant today.”

When did I promise to get an autograph for you? I was speechless. But seeing that Brother Wei really pulled out a napkin and placed it around his arm, acting like a waiter, all of us couldn’t help laughing loudly.

However, at this moment, a voice that none of us liked to hear appeared behind us.

“Mr. Chu, if it’s convenient, can you also ask for an autograph for me as well?” Liusu frowned and didn’t want to look up at the owner of the voice. But I couldn’t express my emotions on my face.

I got up and said with a smile, “Mr. Zhang is also a fan of Wu Lefeng?”

The person who came over was Zhang Mingjie. Judging from this guy’s smiling appearance, Mo Yizhi had not yet expressed his refusal regarding his request to join Project Thirteen Cities.

As if he wanted to prove to me that he still remembered the ‘agreement’ we had, let alone showing a sycophantic attitude toward Liusu, Zhang Mingjie didn’t even greet Liusu, as if he didn’t see her. “I’m not interested in men. I want to get his autograph because there are too many women interested in him. Haha, Mr. Chu, don’t you think so?” He said to me with a grin.

This was a common way of joking among men. But I was surprised that Zhang Mingjie would say such a joke in front of Liusu. No matter what, he once pursued Liusu very persistently. Although giving up to chase Liusu for the sake of profit had already explained his character, he should still have some resentment and unwillingness to leave Liusu in his heart, right?

Maybe it was because my possessive desire was too strong, and I was too petty-minded in this respect. From the moment Zhang Mingjie appeared, I was very focused on his attitude towards Liusu. I suddenly realized that the man in front of me was indeed acting. He deliberately ignored Liusu as if he had completely given up the thought of chasing her. But this indifference was too natural, it would naturally make people think that his fanatical pursuit of Liusu in the past was a kind of performance…

“With Mr. Zhang’s dashing appearance, do you still need to use such a small trick to win the heart of a beautiful woman?”

“Oh?” Maybe my friendliness exceeded Zhang Mingjie’s expectations. He fell into a daze for a moment and then burst out laughing, “Thank you for your kind compliment, Mr. Chu.”

I wanted to test him, so I ignored Liusu’s annoyance, Dong Xiaoye’s impatience, and Brother Wei and Qin Lan’s unhappiness, and pretended to be very interested, “So, does this mean that Mr. Zhang already has someone in mind?”

Zhang Mingjie probably thought that I was so friendly towards him because his indifference toward Liusu worked. The joyful expression was even more obvious on his face. “Ah, yes. A few months ago, there was a situation in the branch in Shanghai. Do you still remember this, Mr. Chu? At that time, I was sent there to solve the situation. Then I met a female flight attendant on the plane. We had a great conversation on the plane, but unfortunately, I forgot to exchange contact information with her. A few days ago, an old classmate of mine suddenly called me and told me that he had a few friends coming to Bei Tian City for a visit. He wanted me to look after them. What I didn’t expect was that the female flight attendant was also one of the people coming to visit Bei Tian City. Mr. Chu, don’t you think this is fate?”

I would be a fool if I believed what you said.

“Fate, it must be fate!” However, on the surface, I was very determined, as if I wished he would officially date that woman as soon as possible.

As the cooperation with the Third Lady was about to begin, Mo Yizhi seized this opportunity and was determined to help Mo Fei to take over Fengchang. In order to remove obstacles for her, a fight with Zhang Li was inevitable. In the stage where both parties were preparing before the fight broke out, my situation was very delicate. I didn’t want to play any important role in their war, so I had to be careful to maintain my position as a little office clerk. I needed to make Zhang Mingjie ‘see through’ me, make him think that he can control me and use the inexplicable relationship I had with the Third Lady to reach a certain balance of power with Mo Yizhi. This was a good thing for Mo Yizhi and Mo Fei. After all, on the premise that there was still room for negotiation, no one would choose to fight each other. Mo Yizhi also didn’t want to see Fengchang fall into chaos due to the internal power struggle.

However, how would Liusu and Brother Wei know about my secret plan? Our company’s cafeteria had always been clean and tiny, but I didn’t expect that a fly would suddenly come near us out of nowhere. Liusu waved her hand in disgust, trying to drive him away. At the same time, she also didn’t forget to mock Zhang Mingjie, “Speak of the devil.”

Hearing this, Dong Xiaoye suddenly burst out laughing.

Ziyuan had just returned to Bei Tian City not long ago, and she just started working for Fengchang a few days ago, so she didn’t know why the words Liusu said were so many. She looked around, hoping to find an answer from Brother Wei and Liusu. What she didn’t know was that nowadays, many people often jokingly called flies Fly Attendant.

Qin Lan was also a troublemaker. While laughing, she also didn’t forget to give her comment, “Perfect match. It’s really a perfect match.”

Brother Wei, of course, also disliked Zhang Mingjie, thinking he was as annoying as a fly, and even dissatisfied with my friendliness toward him. But hearing that Qin Lan’s sarcastic remark was so direct, he couldn’t help feeling a little worried. After all, Zhang Mingjie was the son of Vice-chairman Zhang Li, and he was also deputy general manager of the marketing department. So he gently tugged Qin Lan’s shirt, signalling her not to be too excessive.

Zhang Mingjie’s face turned livid instantly. There was a momentary burst of vicious resentment when he looked at Liusu. I couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. The emotion in those eyes was so obvious, without any hesitation or unwillingness, it was pure disgust…

Who would show this kind of look toward a woman they once liked? There were bursts of chilly feelings in my heart. I faintly realised something, but it was very blurry…

It was clearly a retort. However, it was a retort that Qin Lan didn’t know how to respond to. Qin Lan had underestimated Zhang Mingjie too much. Although she mocked Zhang Mingjie, she also brought ridicule upon herself as well.

Looking back, Zhang Mingjie’s warm smile returned on his face. “Mr. Chu, do you mind if I sit together with you?”

“Not at all.” I nodded, even though I didn’t like to have dinner with him.
