However, he had not considered that everyone might know, or perhaps he had thought about it, and it was just a warning. A warning to some not to harbor unnecessary thoughts; it was also a reminder for others.
Recently, there had been some rumors circulating in our company. If it were about the unfortunate incident involving Teacher Zhang Na, we needed to express our condolences and offer some comfort to Zhang Na's family out of compassion.
Jiang Nan paused here, observing the reactions of those around him.
"What did he say?" Liu Ru Yan asked sleepily. She remembered that this person had just come the day before and was back again today. Was the boss this free? Perhaps we had made him too comfortable; with nothing to do, he seemed to be looking for something to occupy himself.
She mentioned comforting Sister Na's family—comforting! Lan Ruo Yi echoed Jiang Nan's words, and then suddenly screamed as realization struck her.
Her reaction caught Jiang Nan's attention, and he felt satisfied; this was the response he wanted to see. It was as if he were a boss with warmth.
"Are you crazy?" Liu Ru Yan tugged at Lan Ruo Yi's sleeve. Jiang Nan turned his gaze toward Liu Ru Yan, recalling that she was one of the two people who had spoken with him when Tang Mu Xuan came that day.
"How is your health now?" Jiang Nan asked. Super Sister's gaze locked onto Liu Ru Yan like two sharp bolts of lightning. Liu Ru Yan felt as if she were ensnared by a troublesome snake, discomfort washing over her as she felt clammy all over.
"Much better, thank you for your concern, Jiang Zong," Liu Ru Yan forced a smile and thanked Jiang Nan. Just then, Lan Ruo Yi darted in front of her like a gust of wind.
Before she could speak, a soft voice like a warbler emerged from the thicket. "Jiang Zong, let's talk over there; I need to discuss something with you." It was Li Meng's voice.
Li Meng also acted out of humanitarian concern, not wanting to drag anyone else into this trap.
Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow but remained silent. Instead, Super Sister frowned slightly and said slowly, "Xiao Meng, let's just talk here." With that, she took the lead and pulled Li Meng toward the office while Jiang Nan followed closely behind.
Once the door was completely closed, Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi turned their attention to the WeChat login on the computer screen.
[Gossip]
Hong Shixian: Xiao Yan, what happened to you that day?
"Is it better now?" Nan Da Nen Tun asked.
"Yeah, yeah, your face went pale all of a sudden, it looked pretty scary," Divorced With Two Kids replied.
"I'm much better now, just had a fever," Liu Xia Sui said.
Tian Luo glanced at the chat history, narrowing his sharp eyes. It seemed he should consider things too.
The atmosphere in the office was stifling, especially with Super Sister's doll-like face turned cold.
"Xiao Meng, what's wrong? Have we treated you badly?"
Perhaps it was because he was the leader, or maybe he was just used to Super Sister's demeanor; Li Meng's expression remained unchanged.
"Super Sister, Jiang Zong, you should understand me."
There was no way to discuss this further; Li Meng wasn't here to negotiate but merely to help Liu Ru Yan out of a tough spot.
Jiang Nan remained silent while Super Sister spoke, simply watching Li Meng and observing her.
"Since you've made your decision, I wish you the best in soaring high," he thought.
"Thank you, Jiang Zong, and Super Sister for your guidance. I also appreciate the friendly environment you've created that has allowed me to grow so much."
The three people present didn't seem particularly moved by these words.
Li Meng felt it was quite difficult to express such heartfelt sentiments and realized that if they were tangled up in their emotions, there was nothing she could do about it.
Jiang Nan and Yun Chao seemed accustomed to hearing such things and remained oblivious to the underlying feelings of guilt.
With that said, there wasn't much left to say; it was just a bit of a lament that after spending a year in our company, you’re leaving. You were great.
Super Sister sighed and patted Li Meng on the shoulder before walking away.
Li Meng felt some resistance towards the gesture of a shoulder pat; it reminded her that Tian Luo had only gotten close to her because of such gestures.
At that time, Tian Luo hadn’t intended to pursue her; they simply had a good relationship.
It was Jiang Nan who encouraged him to approach Li Meng, leading him to get closer to her and eventually end up spending the night together after he heroically saved her at a bar.
Initially, Li Meng felt guilty towards Tian Luo and tried her best to make it up to him.
She even gave him a title, and they successfully entered into a romantic relationship.
They had once shared a sweet moment together. One day, while Tian Luo was in the bathroom without her phone, she accidentally saw a message that started it all.
Jiang Nan had sent a message to Tian Luo: "Did you succeed? Don't get lost in love; remember your purpose."
Li Meng felt like a joke. Anger surged through her, leaving her mind blank as memories from the past few days flashed before her eyes. She recalled how she had brought medicine and water to Tian Luo when he refused to eat, how she had provided thoughtful little services every day, and even how she had invited him to move into her home for better care.
And now, she was telling herself that it was all a joke? What did that make her efforts during this time? Was it charity?
When Tian Luo came out, she found Li Meng sitting upright on the sofa, staring blankly into space. The sight made Tian Luo feel extremely uneasy.
"How did we end up together?"
Tian Luo hadn’t expected that question. She smiled shyly and replied, "It was when I tapped your shoulder, and you just held onto me without letting go."
