407: Chapter 0407: Daring to Poach from 407: Chapter 0407: Daring to Poach from The CEO’s office, Lin Yingying stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, her face clouded with gloom as she stared downstairs.
Long Fei had been silently suffering from his heartbreak for several days, and she began to wonder if he might have taken a flight with Malaysia Airlines.
Nowadays, flying is so unsafe, who knows, you might just vanish while in mid-air one day.
She rubbed her head, feeling an overwhelming headache.
Muttering to herself, she guessed that it was probably because the only man around her was Long Fei, which made her unconsciously think about him.
It’s a physiological reaction, not love.
Lin Yingying told herself and after a short while, there was a knock at the door.
She spoke in a dejected tone, “Co in!”
The door opened and a bouquet of blue roses was brought in.
The roses numbered ninety-nine, seductively fragrant and eye-catching, causing the female white-collars to scream incessantly all the way.
Following behind was a tall man, dressed in a sharp suit, handso and imposing, with a pair of blue eyes that blended Eastern and Western charm.
Lin Yingying looked at the man, her head filled with black lines.
Great, the punctual flower delivery guy has co again.
His na was Jin Zhijian, sharing the sa na as Arica, a representative of the Arican Dream realized.
His ancestors, for eight generations, were selling Chinese laborers as middlen, accumulating their first pot of gold through ruthlessness and malice.
They immigrated to Arica during the Qing Dynasty and mingled with high society.
Well-off, the family was quite renowned on Arica’s West Coast, particularly in Los Angeles, with descendants who have always served as the heads of the Los Angeles Hong Sect.
When Lin Yingying was studying abroad, he was always the president of the Chinese Student Union, taking special care of her.
Back then, she was young and alone in a foreign land, without any family around.
To be honest, she was truly moved by the care he offered.
But at that ti, her grandfather had laid down the law, firmly using a marriage arrangent to pressure her.
He said that if she dared to fall in love, he would cut off all ties with her, and even hand over the Lin Family to her second uncle.
Because of this, she had no choice but to endure.
Years passed, and unexpectedly, Jin Zhijian still couldn’t forget her.
She had never contacted the guy, and had no idea how he had managed to find her information, even going so far as to co directly to Binhai City to look for her.
If it had been in the past, she might have considered it.
But now, she had Long Fei.
Although their relationship had always been ambiguous, she could no longer make room in her heart for any other man.
She looked at Jin Zhijian with a frown, “Why are you here again?
Haven’t I already told you that I have a boyfriend?”
Jin Zhijian entered uninvited, holding up the roses, and confidently said to Lin Yingying, “Yingying, you don’t need to use that kind of excuse to fend off.
I’ve had people investigate, and you’re still single, without a boyfriend.
I’ve waited for you for five years, during which countless won have walked past , and I haven’t spared them a glance.
Because my heart has only room for you.
Yingying, give a chance, let prove it to you, will you?”
“Jin Zhijian, what can I say to make you believe?”
Lin Yingying slapped her forehead, feeling on the verge of collapse, feeling that it was impossible to reason with this guy.
She really regretted it—inviting this guy to the company the first ti they t.
It was also her own greed, as this guy ca under the guise of investing and doing business in Binhai City.
She thought there was a chance for cooperation, but instead, she found herself stuck with a sticky candy.
Jin Zhijian looked at her petulant expression, which was different from that of other won, and his heart was filled with fondness.
He smiled lightly, “You say you have a boyfriend, fine, call him out and let see.
If he truly is better than , I can let go.”
“Alright, I’ll make you give up hope!”
Lin Yingying took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and dialed Long Fei’s number.
She muttered to herself, hoping that Long Fei would answer the phone this ti, or else she would kick this jerk to the curb.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected,
The ringtone of a phone rang outside the office; it was the unmistakable sound of Long Fei’s off-brand mobile.
The voice was extrely loud, even cracking at tis.
The door opened, and Long Fei walked in with a bag of Blood Spirit Flowers, dressed in a green security uniform, even sporting a green hat, his eyes fixed on Lin Yingying while holding a phone.
Hmm, this outfit really suited his personality.
Lin Yingying watched him, breaking out in cold sweat, and asked with a frown, “What are you doing?
Why are you dressed like that?”
Long Fei furrowed his brow and said, “Isn’t this look handso?”
He even arrogantly did a twirl, his upright stature paired with a security uniform made him look like a soldier.
Indeed, he was handso, but the color was a bit mismatched.
Lin Yingying couldn’t understand what the Human Resources people were thinking, designing the security uniform in green?
Jin Zhijian was also sizing up Long Fei, and with a disappointed look, he asked Lin Yingying, “This man is my rival?”
Lin Yingying patted her forehead, truly feeling like she was going insane.
Seeing her reaction, Jin Zhijian was certain.
He had imagined many tis the scene of eting this love rival, but he never expected him to be a security guard?
Long Fei glanced at him curiously, casually took a seat on the sofa, and asked him, “Delivering flowers?”
“What?”
Jin Zhijian felt like he hadn’t heard clearly.
Was he, dressed in clothing worth tens of thousands from Armani, being mistaken by this fellow as a flower delivery guy?
He pointed at Long Fei and commanded disdainfully, “Do you, a security guard, understand the rules?
This is the CEO’s office; is there a place for you to sit?”
Long Fei rubbed his temples, quickly realizing.
This guy, he must be the suitor of Lin Yingying that Xu Dong ntioned?
When they entered earlier, Jin Zhijian went directly to the garage and took the lift from there.
Long Fei took the main entrance, so they didn’t run into each other.
He cursed inwardly, “Great, hitting on my girl right in front of , really asking for trouble.”
He took out a cigarette, took a drag, and said with a faint smile to Jin Zhijian, “What’s the deal with the CEO’s office?
The big CEO happens to be my wife.” He beckoned Lin Yingying with a wave of his hand and patted the sofa, calling out, “Wifey, co sit over here!”
“Are you looking to die?”
Lin Yingying curled her lips, not yet having settled the score with him, and he was already starting to act cocky.
Jin Zhijian sneered to himself, Keep posing for , you bastard!
Long Fei sighed, opened the bag tied with T-shirts, revealing a bunch of Blood Spirit Flowers.
He picked up one and waved it at Lin Yingying, saying, “Wifey, if you co sit down, I’ll give you one for free.”
Lin Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said sowhat speechlessly, “Are you out of your mind?”
She had hoped Long Fei would co over to provide her with so backing and send Jin Zhijian on his way.
Who knew this guy would act so out of tune, bringing a bag of wildflowers from who knows where, and even offering them to her for free?
Jin Zhijian laughed and said, “Oh my God, I’ve never seen such a stingy man.
Where did you pick these wildflowers, and you think they’re worthy of my goddess?
A country bumpkin, let open your eyes.
This bouquet is also called Blue Enchantress.
It’s not dyed with paint from the market; it was air-freighted from England especially.
One flower is worth a thousand pounds; do you understand its value?”
Lin Yingying raised an eyebrow, previously thinking it was bought from a florist’s.
One flower for a thousand pounds; a bouquet of ninety-nine would then be ninety-nine thousand, right?
She shivered, the world of the rich was truly beyond her understanding.
Oh, it seems she’s also rich!
It looks like she’s still not as rich as them.
Long Fei, smoking, remained calm and did not display the kowtowing, shock, or astonishnt Jin Zhijian was expecting.
He held up a Blood Spirit Flower and said to Jin Zhijian, “Then I guess I have to lay my cards on the table too.
This flower is worth fifty million, and that’s being generous considering it’s for a friend.
Your crappy roses aren’t even fit to hold its shoes!”
“Fuck!”
Jin Zhijian couldn’t help but curse, pointing at Long Fei, he said angrily, “Sir, I am trying to have a civil conversation with you.
What’s the point in bragging and showing off like that?”
