GBP Chapter 1016 An Nai was always by Zhou Jingyan's side.
Chapter 1016 An Nai was always by Zhou Jingyan's side.
The moment she turned around, she saw Anna smiling at her.
It was a smug smile.
But that smile was fleeting.
Then she heard Anna switch to English and chat with Mr. Kim.
The group walked towards the private room.
Su Zhenzhen could not turn back; she could only leave.
Back at the villa, Su Zhenzhen sent a message to Zhou Jingyan.
Su Zhenzhen: [I've arrived.]
Zhou Jingyan: [Okay.]
The two no longer contact each other.
By the time Su Zhenzhen finished tidying up and completing the remaining tasks, it was already midnight.
Zhou Jingyan has not returned yet.
Su Zhenzhen didn't urge him and went to rest on her own.
However, given An Nai's relationship with Zhou Jingyan, it's impossible for Su Zhenzhen to say she doesn't mind at all.
She remained calm and composed.
After this accident, Su Zhenzhen didn't run into An Nai face-to-face much.
However, the probability of seeing Anna at the company suddenly increased significantly.
An Nai always stayed by Zhou Jingyan's side.
She even openly accompanied him on business trips, while He Chen rarely came along, as he was always dealing with company matters.
Not only that, An Nai would also conveniently appear during Su Zhenzhen and Zhou Jingyan's few private moments and call Zhou Jingyan away.
Every single time was a very urgent situation.
Zhou Jingyan also had to leave.
Initially, Zhou Jingyan would try to comfort Su Zhenzhen.
Later on, Zhou Jingyan left very openly, without even giving an explanation.
After this happened so many times, even people in the company noticed that something was off between them.
Everyone was having a small discussion.
Of course, no one dared to discuss this matter in front of Su Zhenzhen and Zhou Jingyan.
But Su Zhenzhen's secretary is an exception.
"President Su, don't you think An Nai has gone too far? She's just using work as an excuse to monopolize President Zhou. I think everyone in the company can see through her intentions." The secretary said angrily to Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen sat in the chair, twirling her pen, seemingly lost in thought.
"She's practically with President Zhou 24/7 now. Whether at the company or on business trips, the media is always capturing images of them together. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"And you have no idea, although the media hasn't said anything, the gossip is saying that they're having an affair. Plus, lately President Zhou has been appearing with An Nai, but you haven't been seen at all. The paparazzi are subtly saying that there are problems in your relationship."
“Annai was so smug, as if she were Mrs. Zhou herself.”
"I don't think An Nai is simply doing this for work; it's too obvious. Why does he have to be in such a hurry to show up just before you and President Zhou have dinner?"
The secretary was muttering to herself, her displeasure palpable.
After all, the secretary is Su Zhenzhen's secretary, so she will definitely help Su Zhenzhen, not An Nai.
"You think there's something going on between them, right?" Su Zhenzhen asked her secretary, looking up at her.
Without a second thought, the secretary replied, "Isn't it ambiguous? Any subordinate should maintain an appropriate distance from their superior. How can this kind of closeness not be ambiguous? It's practically as if they're announcing to the public that she's Mrs. Zhou."
It's something that anyone with eyes can see.
That's why the secretary felt indignant on Su Zhenzhen's behalf.
Su Zhenzhen nodded: "I know."
"If you knew, didn't you tell President Zhou? I think there are many capable people, so we certainly won't make a difference if one more comes along," the secretary said without hesitation.
Su Zhenzhen was listening.
Most normal people think the same way they do.
Only Zhou Jingyan didn't think that way.
Maybe it wasn't intentional, I just genuinely don't think there's a problem.
Su Zhenzhen didn't know how to get involved for the time being.
She remained quiet.
"President Su, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interfered in these matters." The secretary thought Su Zhenzhen was angry.
"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work." Su Zhenzhen nodded.
The secretary didn't say anything, and hurriedly turned and left.
She was tapping out a regular rhythm with her head down, but she didn't say much throughout.
She looked at the calendar, where a circle had been drawn around her birthday.
And their birthday is followed by their wedding anniversary.
Before An Nai appeared, Su Zhenzhen didn't even need to mention this matter; Zhou Jingyan could handle it all perfectly.
Each time, the person who is surprised is themselves.
Now that it's almost here, Zhou Jingyan remains silent.
She thought she had probably forgotten.
On the surface, Su Zhenzhen remained calm and composed.
She glanced down at her watch, which showed Zhou Jingyan's schedule, which Su Zhenzhen had obtained from He Chen.
This itinerary will definitely differ from the final itinerary.
But they're pretty much the same.
So she took the initiative to call Zhou Jingyan.
This person is not in the company today; they are out.
Zhou Jingyan answered quickly: "Why are you calling me at this hour?"
Zhou Jingyan's voice was normal, showing no abnormality.
"Are you free the night after tomorrow?" Su Zhenzhen asked casually.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone; she knew Zhou Jingyan was thinking.
According to her schedule, Zhou Jingyan did not have any work that day because it was her birthday.
He Chen wouldn't fill his birthday day with Zhou Jingyan's schedule; naturally, he would leave the evening for Su Zhenzhen.
But clearly, Zhou Jingyan hasn't thought about this matter yet.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Not at the moment. What's wrong?"
"I'd like to invite you to dinner," Su Zhenzhen said calmly.
"What do you want to eat?" Zhou Jingyan readily agreed.
"I want steak, let's go to the one on the top floor of Henglong Plaza." Su Zhenzhen thought for a moment, "It's been a long time since I've been there."
It's not actually just steak.
It's a Michelin three-star French restaurant.
The main selling point is a beautiful meal at a low price, with an incredibly good view.
Everyone who comes here is celebrating anniversaries, is a couple, or is hosting a special event.
"Okay. What time?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen.
“7 o’clock,” Su Zhenzhen replied.
Birthdays and anniversaries are only a week apart.
Both of them have been very busy lately.
So Su Zhenzhen didn't plan to go through the trouble twice; once was enough.
Su Zhenzhen values rituals very much.
The key reason why I fell in love with Zhou Jingyan at first sight was that he did everything he cared about very well.
She finds it hard to refuse.
Over time, it becomes a habit.
But now, it seems that things have been turned upside down.
It was I who took the initiative to make the restaurant reservation, not Zhou Jingyan.
She remained calm and composed.
“Okay. We’ll go together then.” Zhou Jingyan smiled.
"Okay, then I'll hang up now," Su Zhenzhen replied.
Zhou Jingyan didn't say anything either.
Su Zhenzhen hung up the phone and made a reservation at the restaurant.
Given Su Zhenzhen's current status, the best private room with a completely independent view is reserved for her.
Plus, Su Zhenzhen's birthday falls on New Year's Eve, so this spot also offers a painless view of the fireworks.
It was placed there by the municipal government.
She thought that day would be very romantic.
With the matter settled, Zhou Jingyan did not object, and Su Zhenzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But for some reason, Su Zhenzhen still felt nervous.
I have a feeling that something else is going to happen.
Despite this, she remained outwardly calm and focused on her own tasks.
When they returned to the villa that evening and met Zhou Jingyan, neither of them made a point of mentioning the incident.
