Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

At three in the afternoon, Jiang Zhe entered Nan Chen's office at Nanshi Corporation.

“Mr. Chen, the bidding result is out. We won,” he reported.

Nan Chen merely hummed in response without showing any signs of surprise.

However, Jiang Zhe did not leave after delivering the news.

Nan Chen raised his head and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Oh, nothing,” Jiang Zhe answered, though he remained in his spot.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Nan Chen stared at Jiang Zhe.

“I thought you had some orders to give me,” Jiang Zhe explained a little nervously.

“Yu Xiang deceived you first before you used her and disrupted their plan. You don't have to feel bad about this.”

Jiang Zhe was grateful that Nan Chen took the time to talk to him about this matter.

After all, Nan Chen was the boss. This was a trivial matter that he didn't have to be concerned about.

“But I...”

“Are you worried that she will be punished by Ouyang Li or even lose her job because of her failure?”

“Yes. That's why I did something to protect her,” Jiang Zhe confessed.

“So that's why you won't leave—you want to tell me that you did something for her. Well, this is your personal

business, so there's no need to tell me about it.”

“As long as it involves work, I believe there is a need to let you know,” insisted Jiang Zhe.

He was smart enough to make everything clear to avoid any misunderstandings.

Jiang Zhe was well aware of how capable the corporation's security department was; it was their specialty to dig up

bribery cases and under-the-table agreements.

Rather than having them notice anything suspicious, it was better for Jiang Zhe to admit what he did in case

someone used it against him.

As Nan Chen's trusted subordinate, Jiang Zhe had a very high status in Nanshi Corporation.

Naturally, he also had the power to mobilize many resources.

Although people would come to him for help, he rarely granted their requests.

Among those were some executives of the company, so naturally, they were offended.

Jiang Zhe knew someone was surely waiting for a chance to get rid of him, but he just didn't know who.

Thus, he had to protect himself and not allow anyone to get dirt on him.

If that actually happened, there was no guarantee that Nan Chen would help him.

Even if Nan Chen did, he would also be affected negatively.

That was not what Jiang Zhe wanted to happen. He was there by Nan Chen's side to assist the latter, not to bring

trouble.

On the other hand, things would be more difficult if Nan Chen chose not to save him.

Jiang Zhe would be kicked out of the company, which would be disastrous for him.

He was the assistant of Nan Chen, an executive of the most influential company in Flower City.

If Jiang Zhe got fired from Nanshi Corporation for unpleasant reasons, no one else would dare to hire him.

Because of that, Jiang Zhe had always been very cautious with everything he did.

Nan Chen knew that very well too, which was why he was willing to listen to what Jiang Zhe had to say.

“I had someone place a listening device in Ouyang Li's bag,” Jiang Zhe stated.

“Mm-hmm.” Nan Chen nodded.

“That's all.”

Nan Chen hummed in acknowledgment once more.

He was a shrewd man. All Jiang Zhe had to do was tell him the most important information, and he would

understand Jiang Zhe's intentions without any explanations needed.

One of Jiang Zhe's goals was to distract Ouyang Li and sow discord among her group.

That way, Yu Xiang would be safe in the meantime.

Moreover, the internal dispute of the other party would be of help to Nanshi Corporation.

Since Jiang Zhe technically didn't do anything wrong, there was actually no need for him to tell Nan Chen about this.

“Mr. Chen, I would like to ask you something,” Jiang Zhe suddenly said.

At that, Nan Chen raised his head again. Why does he have so much to say today?

“Go on.”

“I don't think I hate Yu Xiang. In fact, I want to see her again.”

Surprised, Nan Chen put down the papers once again and looked at Jiang Zhe.

“I like her. Actually, I like her a lot. I don't know what I should do, so I want to ask you for some advice.”

Nan Chen did not respond for a while.

He wanted to tell Jiang Zhe that he wasn't good at handling romantic relationships either since he rarely spent time

with women. Basically, Jiang Zhe had chosen the wrong person to consult with.

However, there was no way the arrogant Nan Chen would admit he had any weaknesses.

Even though it was just about relationships, he would never admit that he wasn't good at it.

Besides, he found it amusing that someone would actually ask for his input in this matter.

It was something he had never experienced.

“You want to hear my advice?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“Just do what you want to do.”

Though it was a piece of good advice, it didn't answer the question at all.

It seemed more like he was teaching Jiang Zhe about life instead.

Life is short. If there's anything he wants to do, then he should do it. What's there to hesitate about?

Surprisingly, Jiang Zhe felt encouraged by his answer. “I can keep seeing her?”

“Why not?” Nan Chen questioned in return.

Jiang Zhe was still quite uncertain. “Well, she attempted to use me and steal our business secrets. Wait, no. She

didn't just attempt; she actually did. Can I still meet her in that case?”

“She's the employee and representative of another company. What's wrong with her trying to seek benefits for her

company? Although the method she used was somewhat underhanded, there are tons of people in this world who

do that. She's just one of them. If you expect her to have good morals and do not want to meet her because you

think there's something wrong with her character, then don't. But if you still wish to meet her right now, feel free to

do so.”

After saying that, Nan Chen lowered his head and went on with his work.

It seemed that he had no intentions of dwelling on the topic.

In the first place, he was not an expert in relationship matters. It was already impressive enough that he could

come up with those words.

“I understand now, Mr. Chen. Thank you,” Jiang Zhe expressed gratefully.

Waving his hand, Nan Chen signaled the man to leave.

When Jiang Zhe reached the door, he turned around and uttered, “Mr. Chen, I won't let her use me anymore. I

won't allow my personal feelings to harm the company's interests. I promise!”

Once again, Nan Chen motioned to Jiang Zhe to shut up and leave.

Only then did Jiang Zhe open the door and walk out.

At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from Yu Xiang.

He took a deep breath to compose himself before taking the call.

On the other end of the line, Yu Xiang sounded very calm. She did not yell at him nor accuse him. Instead, she

asked if he had time for dinner later.

With Nan Chen backing him, Jiang Zhe was confident. He agreed to meet Yu Xiang without hesitation.
