She had not wanted this. It was his fault for making her stay behind when all she had wanted was to join the educational tour!

Because she had felt short-changed, she decided to get back at him!

Even though her prank had backfired, and he had only taken a sip of the sickeningly sweet coffee.

Whereas she had drunk half a cup…

He had so many employees to order around but had instead singled her out, making her stay behind. This was just plain bullying!

“Send in a glass of water!” Jiang Beihan picked up the phone on the desk and barked into it.

Shortly, an employee brought him a glass of warm water.

Having waited until the employee had left the office, Jiang Beihan glanced at the glass of water placed in front of him and said to Song Wenxin, “Drink up!”

Song Wenxin paused and looked at Jiang Beihan in surprise. “Is this for me?”

Was the glass of water ordered for her?

Jiang Beihan looked briefly at her and said, “Don’t drink it, I don’t care. You had your chance!” and proceeded to move the glass away from her.

But Song Wenxin was too quick for him and snatched the glass first.

“Stop, I’ll drink it!”

That unpleasant combination of extreme sweetness and bitterness in her mouth was unbearable, and she needed to wash it all down with some water. She was really worried that she might just throw up!

Song Wenxin had to drink the entire glass of water before she could rinse out the unpleasant taste from her mouth.

Having drunk all the water, she placed the glass on the table and said, “Since the coffee has been delivered, I will be off now.”

“Hold on a minute!” Jiang Beihan called out to her suddenly. Song Wenxin stopped and looked at him suspiciously.

Suddenly, he produced a slim, white phone–the latest model–and placed it on the table.

“Use this,” he said, economizing on his words.

Song Wenxin had lost her phone the night before, and she had not had the time to get a replacement!

Eyeing the latest model of mobile phone, Song Wenxin asked with a tinge of glee, “Did you buy this phone for me?”

Ogling at the phone, she was again inclined to declare that he was a good guy!

But what he said next immediately put a stop to any compliment that she was about to give him.

“A hand-me-down from the help!”

The big boss of the JS group had stooped to giving her a hand-me-down from the help. What a thrifty guy!

In other words, he was tight-fisted!

Although Song Wenxin was secretly a tad unhappy at being given a hand-me-down from the help, she reached across and graciously accepted the phone anyway.

The phone looked new, practically unused, and it was the latest model.

Song Wenxin lamented silently that the help in Jiang Beihan’s house must be well-off to be able to afford such a good phone. They were also wasteful, to be discarding such a new model so quickly!

Casually, she said, “Thanks!”, put the phone in her pocket, and turned around to leave the office in search of the group that she had left behind.

…

After Song Wenxin had left, Jang Beihan sat in the leather chair, reclining slightly in his seat.

Retrieving his phone, he opened the messaging app and input a string of digits before sending out a single row of text.

…

At noon. Wait for me at the gate.

…

By the time Song Wenxin located her classmates, the tour was almost over.

She was a little disappointed.

At the sight of Song Wenxin, her classmates, unable to contain their curiosity any longer, bombarded her with questions. “Wenxin, did the JS boss say anything to you?”

“Yes, and did you ask for his number?!” She had the golden opportunity to get close to the JS boss, and it would be a great pity if she did not even ask for his number!

“Has he taken a liking to you? Otherwise, why, of all people, did he single you out to make his coffee?!” Everyone in the group was buzzing with speculation, and the spotlight was once again focused on Song Wenxin.

Even the DL employees could not resist casting curious looks in her direction!
