As if she had been seen through, Secretary Lan flew into a rage out of humiliation. She blushed and felt very angry.
She looked at Lin Che and said, "Madam, you're being too nosy. No matter who I'm showing it to, it's not your place to tell me."
"Ha, I'm just asking. Who do you want to show it to depends on whether they know how to look at it."
"You …" Secretary Lan had specially dressed up, but she hadn't expected Lin Che to see her.
She hadn't seen Gu Jingze at all today because he had been feeling unwell and had gone to see a doctor.
It was all because of Lin Che. Her meticulous dressing was probably useless now.
Naturally, she was angry.
"I don't know if they know how to look at it yet. Maybe you can look at it when Mr. Gu comes later."
Lin Che let out a laugh.
So direct, then it must be true?
She knew that everyone thought that men like Gu Jingze were not a big deal if there were one or two of them outside. That was why they were so presumptuous in front of her.
She didn't care what these people thought. She only needed to know what kind of person Gu Jingze was.
Just then, Gu Jingze came in.
Lin Che stood there, facing Secretary Lan with equal harshness.
As for Secretary Lan, she had always been strict with her work, but her expression didn't seem to be anything special.
Gu Jingze walked in suspiciously.
Secretary Lan looked at Gu Jingze. As he thought about what he had just said, he beamed at Gu Jingze. His clothes straightened up a little.
Gu Jingze didn't even look at her.
Her expression darkened, but she saw that Gu Jingze was only staring at Lin Che. "What happened?"
Lin Che sneered. "Nothing, you can ask your secretary."
Secretary Lan's expression was still cold, but she looked a little embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Gu, it's nothing. It's just that Madam thinks that I have some … relationship with you outside of work. I told her that I didn't, but she didn't believe me. She even asked why I dressed up today. I …"
She looked a little aggrieved.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che.
Oh, yes, she was jealous again.
Lin Che said, "That's not what you said just now."
Secretary Lan said, "I'm sorry. I was rash just now, but that's just how I am. I was a little impatient. I hope Madam won't misunderstand."
Gu Jingze looked at Secretary Lan, then at Lin Che. He smiled, waved his hand and said, "I got it."
He looked at Lin Che and lowered his head to hold her waist. "Alright, it's fine. I'm done with my work. I'll go out with you today."
Lin Che looked at him. "You don't believe me now?"
Gu Jingze paused and looked at her. "Why wouldn't I believe you?"
Lin Che said, "This isn't like you."
If he really believed it, Gu Jingze would have dealt with it directly instead of changing the topic like this.
Gu Jingze said, "Yes, I think you've misunderstood."
Lin Che looked at Secretary Lan and said, "She knows whether it's a misunderstanding or not."
Secretary Lan felt even more aggrieved. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I dressed up because President Gu told me yesterday that I should consider my personal life. I also thought that I might have some goals in the company while I was away, so I dressed up."
Ha, that's really …
Gu Jingze said, "Alright, Secretary Lan, you can go back first."
Secretary Lan glanced at Lin Che.
The meaning of this glance was self-evident.
He looked like a winner, which made Lin Che feel even more depressed.
After Secretary Lan left, Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and said, "You really don't believe me."
Gu Jingze frowned. "She's indeed a little sharp-witted. I'll tell her if she was disrespectful to you."
S City was different from B City. The way people conducted themselves was different. People here prioritized work and efficiency. They didn't know how to behave.
Gu Jingze understood this, so he thought that Secretary Lan might have offended someone because of this.
However, Secretary Lan had always done his job well.
He thought that Lin Che might be jealous because he was too sensitive. It didn't matter if he was jealous. Any woman would be jealous. He would coax her and it would be fine.
However, Lin Che saw his hesitant expression and didn't say anything more.
He just let go of Gu Jingze and said, "Alright, you rest first. I heard that you went to the hospital. Have a good rest. I'm going back to rest too. I'm a little tired."
"Lin Che …"
"Let me be alone. Thank you," Lin Che said.
Although Gu Jingze wanted to go, he didn't follow her when he heard that she wanted to be alone.
Lin Che walked out.
Outside, Secretary Lan looked at Lin Che.
"Madam, are you leaving?"
Lin Che said, "You acted well."
Secretary Lan snorted. "It seems that your relationship with President Gu isn't as good as people say."
Lin Che sneered in his heart.
Secretary Lan said, "Take care. I'll take good care of President Gu for you."
Was he provoking her?
Lin Che snorted and walked out.
She was naturally angry because she could feel it. However, Gu Jingze couldn't.
She scolded him as she walked.
Damn Gu Jingze! Gu Jingze!
What a blockhead!
He trusted a woman too much!
Didn't he know that every woman's talent was acting?
Lin Che scolded him all the way back. When she reached home, she saw Gu Jingze's call, but she didn't pick it up.
She thought that maybe she shouldn't be angry. It was their business if others liked Gu Jingze. It had nothing to do with Gu Jingze. However, she was unhappy that Gu Jingze chose to believe Secretary Lan instead of her.
Gu Jingze might be someone who believed in evidence and felt that he couldn't make a conclusion without evidence.
Indeed, she didn't have any evidence.
She didn't think of recording Secretary Lan's words.
But she was still angry.
Her heart was filled with anger. At this moment, Gu Jingze made a call and didn't make another call.
She stood there. When she saw Dongzi walking over, she asked, "Where's Gu Jingze?"
Dongzi said, "Oh, Miss, I just found out that President Gu went to the site with someone to investigate."
"With someone … with who?"
"I think he brought Secretary Lan with him."
Hehe …
Lin Che stood up immediately and said, "If that's the case, let's not disturb his work. Let's go."
Dongzi said in surprise, "Go? Where are you going, Miss?"
"To relieve my boredom."
She walked out. Dongzi and the others didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that she was unhappy, they quickly followed her.
"Miss, where do you want to go? We'll go with you."
"Let's drive around."
"Yes."
Lin Che hadn't been to S City much. As they drove, they had nowhere to go, so she asked them to drive along the road.
Dongzi was a little worried. He looked at Lin Che and said, "If we go any further, we'll reach C City."
"Oh, I heard that there are many water villages there. Let's drive there and have a look," Lin Che said.
