Chapter 77: 77, Confidential (Second Update)_1
“Enough about me, let’s talk about you.” Xiya turned her gaze towards Jian Qing with a profound smirk.
“Me?” Jian Qing said indifferently.
“You and the CEO of JK International, hmm?”
“Did Khan tell you?” Jian Qing suddenly regretted allowing Khan to join.
“Don’t dodge the subject, dear Jian, what’s going on?” Xiya winked, “Truly having butterflies?”
“Still in the assessment stage.” Jian Qing touched her forehead, helplessly remarked.
“Wow!” Xiya yelled, clutching her cheeks with her hands, looking at Jian Qing with surprise, “You have feelings too? My God, I can’t believe it, I thought Khan was kidding when he mentioned it.”
Jian Qing, “…”
Was it normal to be alone?
“What attracted you, Miss Jian, about Quan Jingwu? Was it his good looks?” Xiya tried to contain her excitement, her eyes glittering as she stared at her.
She had seen Quan Jingwu’s photos in magazines before, he was indeed abnormally handsome, even more so than Black Jack and the others.
A real heartthrob.
Jian Qing rolled her eyes, “You and Khan really are a good match.”
Always on the same wavelength.
Did she look like she was obsessed with looks?
“If it’s not his looks, then what is it?” Xiya asked triumphantly, “What stage are you guys at now?” 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Seeing Xiya’s gossiping expression, Jian Qing got a headache, and blurted out a word, “Talent.”
A phrase suddenly appeared in Xiya’s mind: Love starts with talent, loyalty to looks.
Speaking of talent, it was undeniable, after all, JK International was there as evidence, and he had built JK International from scratch at a young age. Even if she didn’t know much about the business world, she knew that if the CEO of JK International flexed his muscles, the whole world’s economy would feel it.
Once, she had heard Black Jack talking about him. What were his exact words?
Oh, right –
Unfathomable, cruel, ruthless and merciless.
“So what’s your relationship with him now?”
Jian Qing, “He’s chasing me, nothing more.”
Xiya almost spit her drink out, people usually beat around the bush when discussing their love life, acting coy and shy.
Was Jian Qing too cool?
“And then? Did you accept?”
“Not yet.”
“So, you guys are just friends now?”
“Yeah, you can say that.”
Xiya slumped on the sofa, indicating that she needed some time to process it, “How do you feel about him?”
Jian Qing pondered for a while, reminiscing about their interactions, “I don’t hate him, I feel comfortable with him.”
Perhaps Jian Qing didn’t realize that when she mentioned the word “comfortable”, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously curl into a smile, but Xiya noticed.
They had known each other for many years, and it was the first time she saw Jian Qing with such a relaxed smile on her face, subtly revealing a hint of happiness.
Xiya patted Jian Qing on the shoulder, her expression serious, “Congratulations, you really are smitten.”
Jian Qing lowered her eyes, not denying it.
“Do Luo and Black Jack know?” Xiya asked.
Jian Qing shook her head, looking at Xiya, “Keep it a secret. If they find out, it will definitely be because you let it slip. I can consider taking you with me to the tropical forests next time.”
“No, no, no!” Xiya exclaimed, panicking and succumbing to Jian Qing’s power, “I swear, I won’t let it slip.”
Going to those damn tropical forests, she might as well hang herself.
God knows, she is most afraid of pythons.
Jian Qing nodded satisfactorily, “Very well.”
Xiya rolled her eyes, “…”
JK International, CEO’s office.
Quan Jingwu sat at his desk, his custom-made suit, enchanting face, and cold gaze infused with an aura of noble and relentless passion.
The shattered sunlight seeped through, reflected on his side profile, and added a captivating aura.
Suddenly, a rhythmic knock broke the silence.
“Come in!”
“Boss!” Shen Hao rushed in, followed by Mingdong and others.
Quan Jingwu’s gaze shifted from the documents and he looked up to see them coming in together, his eyes gleamed, “What happened?”
“Boss, our company’s defense system has been breached, all of our computers have been hacked.” Shen Hao’s face was solemn.
The security system of the company was always overseen by Qiao Yu, and it had never been hacked before. Now, it had been broken into.
As a result, the intruder can steal the company’s confidential files very easily, as if strolling in their own backyard. This… was terrifying.
At these words, Quan Jingwu’s face darkened, “Where’s Qiao Yu?”
Shen Hao, “Qiao Yu is trying to trace the invader’s ID, but he says the invader’s skill level is higher than his. He’s having a hard time tracking them.”
