Chapter 190: 147 Fifth Master: All the Firsts Are for You (3 More Updates) Ruan Mengxi held the documents, lost in thought for a long while. It seemed all the trouble her boss had caused was aimed at her friend...
What a shameless move.
Moreover, Tang Wan already had a partner. He had no chance at all. Did he still hope to steal her away? She had just complained a few days ago that it was abnormal for someone like Qi Zeyan not to have a female companion. Little did she know that something was already brewing.
If it were any other woman, Ruan Mengxi would have wanted to tie her up and deliver her straight to Qi Zeyan's bed.
His shift in focus in life would definitely relieve her workload, but it just had to involve her good friend. Asking her to be a spy or to betray her friend was something she just couldn't do. So, holding the documents, she knocked on Qi Zeyan's office door.

Qi Zeyan put down the work in his hands and looked at her seriously, "Are you trying to tellthat you're not capable enough?" Ruan Mengxi stiffened. Being an employee and leaving such an impression on her boss would surely hamper her career, "I've never done this type of work before. I'm not very familiar with it and I'm worried I won't do well." "Leave the files here then. You can go." Qi Zeyan looked down and continued with his work.
He originally did want to get closer to Tang Wan through Ruan Mengxi, but now that 'the flower had an owner,' and the Jiang family's walls were solid, he couldn't even start to dig; he had to take a detour with his shovel.
He felt uncomfortable about Tang Wan, but he had no more thoughts about it. And since the project had been assigned to Ruan Mengxi, and the two were friends, their work communication would surely be smooth, so he didn't think about making adjustments.
However, since he no longer had thoughts about Tang Wan, Ruan Mengxi didn't matter either.
But when Ruan Mengxi saw how easily Qi Zeyan agreed, she slightly furrowed her brows. Actually, if she didn't take the project, someone else would. Qi Zeyan had ways to pursue Tang Wan through this project.
If he insisted on planting a spy around her friend, it would surely be safer if she kept control in her own hands.
"Mr. Qi, I've thought about it again. People need to be challenged. Without experiencing adversity, how can we see the rainbow..." "Get to the point!" "I'll take on the project." "Then take the files and go." "Alright, you're busy." "Geta coffee." "Sure!" A few minutes later, Ruan Mengxi brought him a cup of coffee. After she left, Qi Zeyan finally picked it up and took a sip, "Cough—" Did this woman want to kill him with bitterness! Ruan Mengxi went back to the office and immediately contacted Tang Wan to update her on the situation.
Tang Wan had signed a contract with a film and television company under Qi Zeyan. Ruan Mengxi, representing the head office, was responsible for coordinating the two sides. She knew Ruan Mengxi worked in Beijing but didn't understand the specific situation, so getting to work directly with her friend was both shocking and delightful.
"From now on, we'll stay in touch both ways," Ruan Mengxi said cheerfully. "By the way, can you sendthe address of Grandpa Tang's hospital? I'll visit him after work." After hanging up, Tang Wan discussed the matter with her family. Old Mr. Tang, hearing that Ruan Mengxi was coming, couldn't help but laugh. “Xixi is coming, I haven't seen this girl for so long, I don't even know if she's gotten fat or stayed thin." "She has lost a lot of weight," Tang Wan said.
"She was so plump and cute before, I really don't understand why you girls insist on losing weight," the old man clicked his tongue, "By the way, has she gotten a boyfriend yet?" "No." "She used to say she was too fat to find a partner. How cshe's still single even after losing weight?"
Jiang Jinsang sat quietly on the side, listening to the old man's comments.
Miss Ruan seemed to be NO perennially single lady who had never been in a relationship but was quite proficient at driving. From her demeanor in conversation, one would think she was an experienced driver, but he guessed she was probably all talk and no action.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, that evening Ruan Mengxi didn't arrive at the agreed time, citing being forced to work overtime. Internally, she cursed Qi Zeyan for being thoughtless: Thinking of pursuing Tang Wan through her and still making her work overtwithout trying to appease her at all. Utterly thoughtless.
He deserved to lose out to Grandpa Wu and remain a single dog.

In the following days, Old Mr. Tang underwent two more examinations.
Tang Wan and Tang Yunxian took' vel turns staying overnight at the hospital. Whenever Tang Wan went there, Jiang Jinsang would usually accompany her. That night, it was Tang Wan's turn to go to the hospital, and Jiang Jinsang followed as usual.
Before going to sleep, the old man talked about the hospital matters for a while. It was nothing more than the family of a patient on the sfloor causing trouble again.
"...This time, it was quite a commotion. It even drew the reporters. I saw on that no matter the truth, the hospital matteDews today that no and the doctors will definitely be criticized," Old Mr. Tang said helplessly.
