Chapter 43: Swift and Decisive

Fu Qing tried hard to recall what the female subordinates often said. Suddenly, he felt confident. "President, I think love is great!"

He Ting didn't expect that the usually cold - hearted Fu Qing would give him such advice. Even someone as familiar with him as Fu Qing thought he was in love with Jiang Man. So it was no wonder that the subordinates thought so too.

It seemed that it was all his fault in the end. His improper behavior had given everyone the wrong impression.

As soon as He Ting figured this out, he immediately thought of a solution. But he still wanted to ask Fu Qing why he said such a thing. "Fu Qing, why do you think so?"

Fu Qing felt a bit awkward. He wasn't used to sharing his inner thoughts with others, but He Ting was an exception.

"Not all love is great. Isn't it said that love can be involuntary? Since you like Jiang Man, President, even if we don't like it, you must persevere."

Fu Qing thought he had done a good job and finally nodded forcefully. He Ting was instead amused by him.

Just as He Ting was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. "He Ting, are you in? I've come to bring you lunch." It was Jiang Man.

He Ting didn't expect that just as they were talking about her, she would arrive. He motioned for Fu Qing to open the door, then sat down in his office chair and waited for Jiang Man to come in.

Fu Qing opened the door for Jiang Man. He originally intended to leave, but when he accidentally caught He Ting's eye, he stayed. Jiang Man thought He Ting was acting a bit strange today.

Also, Fu Qing usually left at this time. What was going on today? Jiang Man was puzzled.

At the same time, a bad thought occurred to her. But she still gathered her spirits, smiled, walked up to He Ting, and placed the lunch box in front of him. "Big President, it's lunchtime again. Assistant Chu, would you like some too? I made quite a lot today."

Jiang Man looked at He Ting nervously. He Ting, on the other hand, felt a bit sorry for Jiang Man. After thinking for a while, he decided to say it. "Miss Fu, you don't need to bring me lunch anymore. You're the little princess of the Fu family after all. This kind of thing doesn't suit your status."

Jiang Man's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that He Ting had made up his mind. She didn't know what had made He Ting distance himself from her, but she still wanted to fight for it. "He Ting, I don't care about my status. I'm willing to bring you lunch. I'm willing to do anything for you."

He Ting didn't expect Jiang Man to say such a thing. It seemed that Jiang Man must have some ulterior motives towards him. He couldn't think of anything to refute her for a moment and could only remain silent. He Ting looked up at Fu Qing, who kept his head down, pretending not to hear Jiang Man's words.

He Ting knew he couldn't count on Fu Qing. He had no other choice. Jiang Man was not willing to let go of this hard - won opportunity to get close to He Ting. She was eager to know the reason. "He Ting, can you tell me why you suddenly said such things?" As she asked, tears welled up in her eyes.

He Ting didn't tell her what the employees in the company had said, nor did he say that he was doing this for her own good. He just remained silent. But Jiang Man on the other side found a reason. She looked up at He Ting, crying as she asked, "Is it because of my sister, Fu Qing? It must be because of her!"

He Ting originally wanted to say that it had nothing to do with Fu Qing, but seeing Jiang Man still in tears, he didn't say a word. Jiang Man thought she had guessed correctly. "Sure enough, I..." Then she ran out crying. He Ting didn't expect Jiang Man to react like this.

Jiang Man left He Ting's office dejected. She had thought He Ting would chase after her, so she deliberately waited outside the office for a long time, but He Ting never showed up. It seemed that she was destined to be disappointed. She didn't expect that this hard - won opportunity would disappear so easily.

Jiang Man was a bit lost. She had planned to wait for He Ting to get used to her presence and then confess her love to him. But she didn't expect He Ting to give her no chance at all. She blamed everything on Fu Qing. She thought that without Fu Qing, He Ting would surely fall in love with her.

"Ding... Ding." Jiang Man took out her phone and saw that it was a text message from Jiang Zekai. He asked her to return to the Fu family as soon as possible. Jiang Man wiped the tears from her face. Since Fu Qing wouldn't let her have a good life, why should she spare her because of sisterly affection?

The anger in Jiang Man's heart made her decide to have a good talk with Jiang Zekai about how to unexpectedly obtain evidence and send Fu Qing to prison for good. With this thought in mind, Jiang Man rushed towards the Fu family in a hurry. This time, she would never be soft - hearted.

"Dad, I'm back." Jiang Man didn't expect to see her father in such a state. Jiang Zekai had been worried recently that if he didn't accept Fu Qing's conditions and that evidence fell into He Ting's hands, the consequences... Now Jiang Zekai had nightmares every day.

It was really ridiculous. When Jiang Zekai had previously schemed to kill Fu Qing's parents and burn Fu Qing, all he could think about were power, status, and wealth in the future. He wasn't afraid at all. But now, being threatened by Fu Qing like this, he couldn't even sleep well and kept having nightmares.

So after several days, Jiang Zekai's appearance was really a mess. His hair was in a mess, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked several years older. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Haven't you been getting enough rest recently?" Jiang Zekai had no mood to answer Jiang Man's question.

But Jiang Zekai also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Man. It was obvious that she had been crying. The only person who could make Jiang Man cry was He Ting. Had something happened between He Ting and Jiang Man? "Daughter, how is your relationship with He Ting now? Did He Ting bully you?"

Jiang Man didn't expect Jiang Zekai to see that she had been crying, so she could only nod. "He Ting still has feelings for Fu Qing. For her... What should I do, Dad? Please teach me."

Jiang Zekai didn't expect Jiang Man to be so useless. Everything had been fine just a few days ago.

Jiang Zekai stared at Jiang Man. "Daughter, tell me exactly what He Ting said to you. Also, why did He Ting suddenly ask you to bring him lunch? You need to explain everything clearly so that Dad can help you find a solution, right?"

This matter was related to He Ting's attitude, and Jiang Zekai was eager to know the answer.

"He... He Ting told me not to go anymore in the future, and he also said... Dad, what should I do?" Jiang Man had always known that He Ting didn't like her, but this was the first time He Ting had said such things to her.
