Zhang Jingdong glanced at Liu An, feeling somewhat familiar, but couldn’t immediately recall where he had seen him before.

"Sorry, you are?"

Liu An teased, "Boss Zhang, you seem to be quite forgetful. I’m the deputy general manager of the Maple Forest Group’s Jian’an Branch. We met when you visited our group headquarters."

Zhang Jingdong instantly realized, "Oh, that’s right. I remember now, we have indeed met."

At the same time, he immediately understood why there was a bit of amusement in Liu An’s gaze. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Liu An remarked meaningfully, "Boss Zhang, you are quite lively. You went to our company to discuss business with Mr. Yan yesterday, and today you are following Secretary Tong to her home. Don’t tell me Mr. Yan is upstairs right now!"

Zhang Jingdong now understood that this guy had come with ill intentions, so he casually bluffed, "You’re spot on, Mr. Yan is upstairs. A few of us came to Secretary Tong’s house for a gathering today. Is there a problem with that?"

Liu An was evidently taken aback that Zhang Jingdong, a big boss of a conglomerate, could spin lies so effortlessly, and was momentarily speechless.

But naturally, he wouldn’t let Zhang Jingdong off so easily, and quickly regained his composure.

"Really? Since Mr. Yan is here, I might as well join in the fun at Secretary Tong’s house."

Seeing that this guy really intended to make things difficult, Zhang Jingdong immediately said, "Buddy, despite being a deputy manager of Maple Forest Group’s branch, you have no sense!"

"I have something important to discuss with Mr. Yan. Do you think you are qualified to join in the fun?"

Liu An was somewhat intimidated by Zhang Jingdong’s domineering aura but soon realized that the angrier Zhang Jingdong became, the more it confirmed his suspicions.

He then declared directly, "Boss Zhang, you are truly worthy of being Dongsheng Group’s owner. Your psychological resilience is indeed extraordinary. Even when caught cheating, you dare to deny it repeatedly!"

"Cheating?" Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a laugh, "Which eye of yours saw me cheating? Just being here with her counts as cheating?"

"Can’t it be that I’m visiting her home to check the feng shui and advise her on how to attract luck and avoid misfortune?"

"Feng shui?" Liu An laughed, "Boss Zhang, can you stretch your reasons any further?"

"This late at night, following a pretty woman home and having the nerve to claim it’s to check feng shui?"

"And not just any woman, but Mr. Yan’s personal secretary. Are you taking Mr. Yan too lightly?"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "How is checking feng shui far-fetched? Did you not have someone check your home’s feng shui when you bought your house?"

"Even if you didn’t have someone check your house’s feng shui back then, you can’t stop others from wanting it done for theirs, right?"

Liu An, slightly embarrassed, retorted, "Boss Zhang, since you’re having such a chat, I’ll just have to call Mr. Yan. I’ll ask her if she’s upstairs and if she knows you’re here at her secretary’s house checking feng shui!"

He pulled out his phone.

Zhang Jingdong then said, "Wait a minute!"

Liu An thought Zhang Jingdong was scared and showed a touch of pride in his eyes, "What, afraid now that Mr. Yan will find out?"

Zhang Jingdong maintained his composure, "This has nothing to do with Secretary Tong. I don’t want her to be misunderstood."

"Tell me, do you want money, or should I help you get a promotion at your company? As long as you pretend you didn’t see anything tonight, I can meet your conditions!"

Tong Xin couldn’t help but speak, "Mr. Liu, Boss Zhang is indeed here to help me check feng shui. I hope you don’t overthink things!"

Liu An became instantly angry, "Tong Xin, I thought you were someone with principles. Not only did you cheat, but now that you’ve been caught, you still try to protect him. It’s clear you’re hopelessly deluded!"

Zhang Jingdong stepped forward, "This has nothing to do with her. You just need to consider my previous offer."

Liu An’s gaze was sharp, "Alright, since you want to negotiate, I’ll be blunt. I don’t want either condition; I just need you to promise me one thing. Then I’ll pretend I saw nothing tonight. Sound good?"

"Go ahead, what is it?"

"Starting today, you can never visit our company to see Mr. Yan, nor have any private contact with him!"

Tong Xin again couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Liu, today’s incident has nothing to do with Boss Zhang; he’s only here to help me..."

Zhang Jingdong turned to Tong Xin, "Don’t worry. Since I’ve dared to come, I can fix everything!"

Liu An sneered, "Tong Xin, you’d better not speak now. Otherwise, even if he agrees to my terms, I might tell Mr. Yan about this because of your impudence."

Not wanting to see this guy gloat, Zhang Jingdong directly took out his phone, found Yan Ning’s number, and showed it to Liu An.

"Is this Mr. Yan’s phone number?"

Liu An was momentarily confused, "Yes...what do you mean by this?"

"Weren’t you about to call Mr. Yan? I’ll call her now too. Let’s see who she believes!"

He called Yan Ning.

The call was answered after just two rings, "Hello..."

"Mr. Yan, hold on a moment!"

Zhang Jingdong turned to Liu An, "Would you like to speak first, or should I?"
