An Ke took a casual glance. The internet was full of gossips about He Ting's amorous affairs. She didn't know why she suddenly felt a bit stifled and had no intention to scold Xiao Li.
In the end, she just said softly, "Do your work well. Don't discuss things that have nothing to do with work."
An Ke calmly returned to her office and then slumped down in a rather embarrassed manner. She couldn't wait to take out her phone and carefully browsed through the news about He Ting one by one.
She had to admit that during the time she had been away from He Ting, her heart had never been at peace. She often dreamed of the moments she had spent with He Ting.
She clearly understood that she had already let go of her hatred and obsession in her heart, but He Ting's shadow had remained. Although she forced herself not to think about it, it was truly there.
Finally, An Ke could only put her phone on the table, pretending that nothing had happened.
"Do you have any thoughts?" Although Bo Jinnian knew it was better not to mention He Ting in front of An Ke at this moment, since he knew that An Ke didn't like him, his heart had always been concerned about An Ke's future happiness.
He clearly knew how much He Ting loved An Ke. Apart from him, the only one who could bring happiness to An Ke was He Ting. So, he hoped that An Ke could understand her own heart earlier.
After the mental preparation in the morning, An Ke could now face it quite calmly. "He Ting's matters have nothing to do with me anymore. We might as well just treat them as a joke."
An Ke pretended not to care on the surface, but in fact, her tightly clenched hands had already betrayed her. However, Bo Jinnian didn't expose her and didn't mention He Ting anymore.
"As long as you're happy." Bo Jinnian's words were concise.
Although An Ke felt that there was more to his words, she didn't think too much about it.
A few days later, He Ting was already in despair. "There's still no news? Not even a bit?" He Ting grabbed Yuan Ping's collar and asked.
Li Li quickly stepped forward and pulled them apart. "Boss, calm down. It's only been a few days. We can't tell anything yet. Just wait a little longer!"
"Brother, I don't want this either. But don't worry, I'll step up my efforts. I'll photoshop some intimate pictures of you and the women that An Ke hates the most. She will definitely react."
Yuan Ping's confident look successfully convinced He Ting. "Alright, Yuan Ping, go and do it!"
"President, it's bad! Look quickly!" Fu Qing rushed in again in a hurry.
He Ting frowned slightly. When did Fu Qing become so hasty? He recalled that there shouldn't be any major events in the company, right?
Fu Qing was holding a tablet in his hand, and something was playing on it. "President, look. Netizens are scolding you now and saying they will boycott our company."
He Ting never cared about such things. The company he ran almost dominated the national economy. Even if ordinary people boycotted it, they couldn't stop smoking, drinking, or watching TV, could they?
"So it's Jiang Man..."
Because He Ting and those women were on the hot search, out of jealousy, Jiang Man extremely belittled those women on Weibo. Between the lines, she was saying that she was He Ting's fiancée.
In addition, the media also broke a video, which showed Jiang Man getting into a fight with a beauty. In the video, Jiang Man was no different from a shrew.
"President, do you want our public relations department to handle it and take this hot search down?" Fu Qing thought the impact was really bad.
He Ting shook his head. He still remembered that the person An Ke hated the most was Jiang Man. Now that Jiang Man was involved with him and had done such a disgraceful thing.
Maybe An Ke would really couldn't help but show up.
"Didn't we agree before? Just stay put. Let Jiang Man do whatever she wants. Anyway, if it goes too far, just cooperate with the public relations department to suppress it."
Fu Qing had no choice but to follow He Ting's order. "President, I'm afraid this will cause some changes among the people with ulterior motives in the company. After you dealt with He Shen last time, the company had been much more stable, but recently..."
He Ting understood the rest of the words without Fu Qing saying them. The He family was a big family. Without He Shen, there were still He Qian, He Hou, etc. They were all waiting for him to make mistakes.
Now he was basically handing the handle to them. A fool would seize the opportunity tightly. However, He Ting had already made up his mind. "Let them make trouble. The result won't be bad."
He Ting was confident that he could face all the troubles as long as An Ke could come back to him.
"Is there a new follow - up?"
"Who is this woman?"
"I don't know..."
...
An Ke frowned. It had only been quiet for a few days. Why was there another commotion?
An Ke coughed loudly in her office, hoping that her colleagues outside would be self - aware. Unfortunately, her voice was still too soft.
An Ke opened the door of her office angrily. "Xiao Li, come in. And all of you, go back to work!"
Xiao Li was extremely nervous. An Ke hadn't punished her last time. She didn't know how severe the punishment would be this time.
"Manager, we're really not chatting idly. Give me another chance, please?" Xiao Li really knew she was wrong, but she would still do the same thing next time.
It wasn't for anything else. She was just such a person.
"These are the documents to be processed later. I'll leave them all to you. Don't pay attention to all those messy things every day." An Ke didn't really want to punish her.
Xiao Li felt as if she had been granted amnesty and quickly took the documents and left.
Only then did An Ke have time to take a good look at her phone. It was still about He Ting. An Ke subconsciously wanted to turn it off, but her curiosity got the better of her.
It was Jiang Man. An Ke sneered. Just as she was about to turn it off, her eyes caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on Jiang Man's wrist and suddenly stopped.
However, that shot only flashed by, and An Ke didn't see it clearly.
Since she had doubts, An Ke played that shot back and forth and finally confirmed that the jade pendant was the one that He's father had been holding when he died.
An Ke narrowed her eyes. Could there be an inescapable connection between Jiang Man and He's father's death?
Thinking about the fact that He's father had disagreed with Jiang Man and He Ting's marriage and had always protected her, An Ke couldn't just let Jiang Man, who might be the murderer of He's father, go unpunished.
An Ke realized that she had to meet He Ting and tell him about this discovery. Otherwise, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Since she had decided to go back, An Ke immediately called Bo Jinnian to inform him of this.
"You're going back to the country? Are you kidding me? Is it because of He Ting?" Bo Jinnian's tone was solemn, but An Ke didn't notice at all. She was just busy buying the plane ticket.
"There's something I must tell him. I'm sorry, senior brother. Maybe I can't keep my promise to you." An Ke still felt a bit apologetic when she said this.
Before, she had sworn that she wouldn't go back to the country. But now she changed her mind. It really caught Bo Jinnian off guard.
