Chapter 52: If you're curious, ask him personally
Cong Rong looked at Jacob with an embarrassed face and said, "I know what you wanted to ask me. I met Xiao last year through a friend, but I am not his girlfriend. The reason why I did not tell you because I did not think the fact that Xiao and I know each other could have anything to do with the deal between Zhong Qin and Maxine.
Also, the girl in the picture has been identified as his new girlfriend. I heard that she is a somehow famous model in the local Chinese market. I think they look good as a couple and I am happy for them. But as between Zhong Qin and Maxine, we should just leave the way how it works now. I think Xiao would think the same as well.
(I can probably guess what you're trying to say to me.) Actually, I met Mr. Xiao through a mutual friend last year, but I really wasn't his girlfriend. The reason why I didn't mention this matter to you or the company is because I don't want this matter to cause any unnecessary involvement in the cooperation between the two companies.
You can also see now that the girl in the photo has been identified as Xiao Zhengyun's current girlfriend. It is said that she is currently a hot female model in the local Sydney Chinese circle. And many others, including me, should have felt that they were very correct after reading the news and photos, and wished them happiness.
As for the relationship between Zhongqin Piano and Maxi, although we are now in a cooperative relationship with Mr. Xiao's company, and I am always friends with Mr. Xiao in private, I think it is better to do business as usual, and I think Mr. Xiao should also think so. After Cong Rong got her phone back, she explained to Jacob very calmly. Although she is a little weak-hearted, on the surface, she is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and she can't see a trace of waves.
After listening to Cong Rong's explanation, Jacob didn't say anything more. In fact, before looking for Cong Rong to talk, he had probably guessed that this would be the result, after all, how could a rich man like Xiao Zhengyun, who has status and status, look down on an ordinary girl like Cong Rong.
However, when he appeared in the company in a hurry just now, the appearance when he took Cong Rong away had to arouse people's reverie, especially when he looked at Cong Rong's eyes and the tone of his voice, which was clearly the unique ambiguity and sweetness between lovers.
However, to Jacob's surprise, Mr. Xiao's mysterious girlfriend was unfortunately exposed by the media at this time, although the facts were in front of him, but he was inexplicably a little disappointed.
Before and after Cong Rong returned to her desk, she soon received a WeChat message from Ye Keke. The content is probably Xiao Zhengyun and Wendy's intimate and ambiguous photos and news at the airport, as well as a series of surprised micro-expressions.
"Oh my God? Cong Rong, what's going on? Why did this person named Wendy suddenly become Xiao Zhengyun's girlfriend? Didn't he just leave her alone at the Ivy Club two days ago and take you to a happy life alone? Why did it make headlines today? In Ye Keke's WeChat message to Cong Rong, there were doubts and dissatisfaction between the lines.
"Don't talk nonsense, what take me to have a good time, there's no thing. I've read the news, and I think they look like a good match, don't they? Cong Rong quickly replied to WeChat, in a very light and dismissive tone.
"Do you really think so?" Ye Keke continued to send WeChat to ask Cong Rong.
"If you're really curious, just ask him personally." Cong Rong replied to Ye Keke briefly and bluntly, because she really didn't want to continue to discuss this issue in the office, and she found that several Chinese colleagues next to her had already picked up their mobile phones and whispered, and looked at her from time to time.
"Calm, calm. Cong Rong, you must be calm yourself. The news they just saw was about Xiao Zhengyun and a female model, and it has nothing to do with you. What you're doing now is to take an attitude that doesn't concern you and continue to do your own thing. Cong Rong took a soft breath, and was about to unlock the computer on the desk and start to put all her energy back to work, but her female colleague Anne suddenly walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
"Hey, Cong Rong. Have you seen a news that has just broken out in "Australia Now"? Wendy, the young model who is very popular in Sydney now, was just photographed by a group of reporters at the airport with her boyfriend. Those reporters also dug out the background of the man, and he turned out to be the rich child of a famous company in China, and you see that there are photos of the scene and the fear. Anne said and hurriedly handed over her mobile phone to Cong Rong, and the photo that appeared in the news just now suddenly jumped in front of Cong Rong's eyes again.
"Well, I saw it, the man in the photo is the CEO of Zhongqin Piano, and he came to our company two days ago to sign a contract with Maxi. Didn't you see him at the time? Cong Rong looked like a bystander and replied casually.
"I was there on Monday, but I didn't seem to run into him at the time. When I looked at the photo, I thought the man in the photo looked like the cousin we met at the gym before! I said your cousin wouldn't be the one in the picture! But, you told me, he's married and has children? The more Anne spoke, the more unreliable she became, and her words also caught the attention of several Chinese colleagues who were whispering next to her, and one of them, Sarah, a Hunan girl, simply walked over and joined Cong Rong and Anne directly into the conversation.
"Anne, don't you know? I heard that Mr. Xiao, who is in the middle of the service, just came to our company in the morning, saying that he was here to find Cong Rong. Unexpectedly, such a big news came out in the afternoon. Cong Rong, did you know this Mr. Xiao before? Let's gossip about it, what is going on with him and Wendy, the female model who has been very popular recently? The Hunan girl named Sarah said that she was coming for Anne, but as she spoke, she turned her face to Cong Rong, and threw out a question that everyone wanted to ask but was not embarrassed to ask.
"Oh, I've always known Xiao from Zhongqin, but I don't know each other, and he came to me today for some personal matters of a friend we both knew. However, I don't know anything about his private life, so even if I have the heart to break the news to you, it is indeed unexpected. Cong Rong said very firmly this time, and worked hard to clean herself up.
Hearing no gossip as much as they wanted to hear, Anne and Sarah both had to go back to their desks in a huff. Cong Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched them and several other Asian colleagues gradually disperse and pick up the work at hand. She was facing her computer screen when she suddenly remembered what her colleague Anne had just said.
"When Xiao Zhengyun and the senior management of Zhongqin came to visit the company on Monday, they alarmed Maxey's big boss and Jacob to greet him, such a big movement, Anne didn't see Xiao Zhengyun on Monday? Moreover, we had a one-day meeting today, which is also to prepare for the brand launch of the new season of Zhongqin? She looks like she hasn't heard of Xiao Zhengyun at all, which is a bit unreasonable, right? This strange thought suddenly flashed through Cong Rong's mind.
Anne, a colleague who returned to her seat, quietly raised her head, picked up her mobile phone while no one was paying attention, and sent a WeChat message to a person.
"She's seen the news, don't worry. Also, thank you for lunch today, and when you come back from Melbourne, don't forget to do what you promised me. Anne quickly edited the text message and sent it out quickly.
The person on WeChat quickly replied, "Don't worry, when I go back to Sydney on Friday, I will start to do what I promised you." At the same time, don't forget to help me continue to keep an eye on Cong Rong, my lifelong happiness is all on you! The person who replied to Anne was none other than Wendy Wenli.
