Chapter 1624: Chapter 1089: Truly Shaless
Jiang Chen flexed his fingers, squeezed his fist, then bent down and tentatively grabbed the barbell with his right hand.
Okay.
He quickly gave up.
Fanciful thinking.
Didn’t know the imnsity of heaven and earth.
“This barbell plate must be fake!”
Tong Dan quickly moved to the side, almost pushing Jiang Chen away, and then, as the only standard bearer of the truth, Tong the Beauty tried to lift the barbell herself.
In no ti.
She held her breath, her face flushed with effort, but the damned barbell wouldn’t budge an inch.
“Be careful not to hurt yourself.”
Boss Jiang reminded.
The line sounded familiar.
Tong Dan rationally gave up, panting as she straightened up, looking at Jiang Chen’s arm with amazent, seemingly wanting to touch it.
“Did you take so drugs?”
“Do you understand what neural recruitnt ability is?”
Boss Jiang retorted with a dose of learned-and-applied knowledge.
“Impressive.”
Tong Dan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
In a place like the gym, it’s quite pure, strength is king, with no flashy nonsense.
Being able to lift twice one’s body weight could be considered quite ferocious.
This respect is different from the respect for wealth, and Tong the Beauty’s gaze at Boss Jiang involuntarily changed slightly.
Of course.
Turning friendship into love is nonsense.
Fang Qing was right there.
Now she finally slowly began to understand why so people who appeared not outstanding or even annoying would still have others infatuated with them.
Observers aren’t necessarily clear.
Previously, she didn’t know Jiang Chen had these strengths, only thinking his thick skin was a rit.
For Tong Dan’s heartfelt praise, Boss Jiang was unfazed, shrugging his shoulders, “If there’s nothing more in Dongying, let’s head back first.”
Tong Dan frowned, imdiately protesting, “Jiang Chen, why do you turn hostile so quickly? I haven’t even impacted you.”
You could clearly feel it.
Tong the Beauty’s tone hasn’t changed much, but it was noticeably weaker than before.
There’s nothing she could do.
When you accept favors, you have to be humble.
Her accommodation was currently being paid for by Boss Jiang.
“I didn’t say you impacted , just afraid you’d find it boring.”
Fang Qing looked at Jiang Chen; perhaps only she understood after experiencing so fast and furious monts with him.
“I’m not bored, I feel pretty good.”
“Can’t bear to leave your matchmaking partner?”
Jiang Chen jokingly asked.
“What are you talking about.”
Tong Dan dismissively said, “At most, we can only be friends.”
“Encountering a good person is not easy.”
Jiang Chen sighed lightly.
Tong Dan didn’t deny it since Pan Yang had indeed left a good impression on her so far.
“His superior is probably more suited for him than I am.”
Jiang Chen glanced at Fang Qing, “Why do you say that?”
Tong Dan was silent for a mont, then mimicked Jiang Chen with a light sigh, “His superior has been very good to him, not only consistently supporting him at work but also getting injured trying to secure legal rights for their Shenzhou employees this ti and ended up in hospital.”
“Pan Yang’s superior got injured, was it really because of their company’s issues?”
Fang Qing asked.
“From what Pan Yang said, that seems to be the case.”
Tong Dan nodded, “That night when Pan Yang was having dinner with us, his superior, Chief Xu, went alone to argue with Dongyue Chemical’s executives, and when the negotiation failed, Dongyue Chemical was completely ungracious, having security forcibly remove Chief Xu, during which he got injured.”
“Is that what Pan Yang’s superior told him?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Imagine the extent of the sacrifice to the point of almost ruining his reputation.”
Tong the Beauty empathetically said, “It was because Chief Xu got injured that Dongyue Chemical later made concessions, agreeing to give so compensation to the laid-off Shenzhou employees.”
“What compensation? Severance based on years of service?”
“No way.”
Tong Dan replied, “I didn’t ask for specifics, but it’s probably a symbolic severance payout.”
“Weren’t you adamant before, urging Pan Yang to persist and fight? Have you changed your stance so quickly?” Jiang Chen laughed.
“How could I know a company of that level would be so shaless, using violence against their employees? Without Chief Xu, Pan Yang and the others might not have gotten anything.”
“So you feel you can’t compare and decided to step back voluntarily?”
Tong Dan rolled her eyes at him, “Boss Jiang, don’t play matchmaker recklessly, okay? What stepping back, this is what I call creating beauty for others. What value can I offer him? Then look at Chief Xu.”
For so long, having waged so many verbal battles with him, why hasn’t Jiang Chen been put off by her?
That’s because Tong Dan is fundantally different from those little fairies.
What value can I offer others?
Listen,
The gap becos apparent instantly.
How many won can question themselves like this nowadays?
How many of them just sit back with their hands up, demanding cars, houses, and dowries? As for a bridal gift, that should never be asked about. Asking makes you stingy, not worth relying on, then you face a collective denunciation from friends and the bestie group, shouldering everything alone.
“Yeah, the sacrifice is indeed quite significant.”
Jiang Chen nodded, “A typical case of self-sacrifice. Although the compensation might be little, the gratitude is imnse. If I were Pan Yang, I’d have no choice but to devote myself as thanks.”
“Nonsense~.”
Tong Dan laughed and scolded, habitually taking the other as jesting, but Fang Qing sensed sothing different.
From the beginning till now, there seed to be a peculiar tone enveloping soone’s words.
“Do you have sothing to say?”
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered, then he looked at Qing i.
Indeed, Qing Gege understands him well.
“Say what?”
Tong Dan didn’t get it.
Jiang Chen lightly cleared his throat, “It’s not a big deal. If you really have no feelings for that Pan Yang, then there’s no need to say it.”
“What is it? Speak.”
Tong Dan urged, purely puzzled and curious.
“Do you know what that Chief Xu’s full na is?”
Jiang Chen said casually.
Tong Dan was a bit dazed, then shook her head.
How would she know?
And there was no way she would ask.
“What does it have to do with ?”
“Her na is Xu Jing.”
Tong Dan was stunned for a mont, then involuntarily exchanged a glance with Fang Qing.
“How do you know that?”
Tong Dan was puzzled and curious.
Jiang Chen didn’t explain, paused for a mont, then said: “She has another na, Uehara Maaya.”
It’s not just Tong Dan; even Fang Qing couldn’t help but get distracted.
“Uehara Maaya? A Dongying na?”
“Yes.”
Tong Dan opened her mouth, gradually ca back to her senses, then furrowed her brows, “What, does that an?”
Jiang Chen didn’t speak.
“Pan Yang’s female boss is a Dongying person?”
Fang Qing skeptically spoke, “Didn’t Pan Yang say his boss is from Shenzhou?”
“That’s what Pan Yang said.” Tong Dan nodded, surprised.
“Xu Jing is a Shenzhou person, but that was before. After entering Dongyue Chemical for a few years, she switched to Dongying nationality and beca a Dongying person.”
Tong Dan’s expression beca stiff, “Then why does she…”
Suddenly,
A flash of realization struck her mind.
She understood everything.
“She’s putting on a double act with Dongyue Chemical!”
Tong Dan saw through it, not to ntion Fang Qing.
From the mont Boss Jiang pointed out the na Uehara Maaya, she understood.
“Although she’s a Dongying person now, her feelings for Pan Yang should be genuine.”
Boss Jiang analyzed from a fair and objective standpoint.
To this, Tong Dan only had a two-word assessnt.
“Shaless!”
Indeed.
Changing nationality is a personal freedom.
But why Dongying of all places?
Did she check the family history to make sure no ancestors fell under the Dongying bayonets?
Moreover.
Having beco a Dongying person, she still disguises herself as a fellow Shenzhou person to deceive, even representing the entire Shenzhou staff in negotiations with Dongyue Chemical.
The ager compensation secured might even make those Shenzhou employees grateful to her.
“Why are you so agitated? How does it concern you.”
“Shaless!”
Tong Dan was furious, repeating the two words over and over, she stopped working out, and turned to leave.
Fang Qing looked at soone, then followed along.
Jiang Chen watched them leave, stayed silent for a while, then softly sighed and nodded to himself.
“Indeed shaless.”
