Chapter 80 The Chosen Golden Son-in-Law
Seeing that Tan Xiaoxuan did not speak, Zheng Xiaokun hesitated for a long time.
Finally, he leaned closer to Tan Xiaoxuan, lowered his voice, and said with a serious expression, "Miss, please don't go through with this rumor-spreading thing today. If Mr. Tan finds out, he will definitely kidnap you back to America. You won't be so carefree then."
Tan Xiaoxuan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
With hands on hips and eyes wide with anger, he said, "You, Zheng Xiaokun, I haven't settled the score with you for snitching last time, and now you're trying to scare me again!"
Whose side are you on?
Zheng Xiaokun waved his hands repeatedly and took a few steps back: "Miss, I'm doing this for your own good. If something really happens, no one can cover it up."
Tan Xiaoxuan sat back down in her chair angrily, her eyes darting around as an idea came to her: "Hmph, if Jack Tan won't take the initiative, then I'll give him a hand."
Turning to Zheng Xiaokun, he instructed, "Xiaokun, go and keep spreading the word that Jack Tan is single, rich, and talented, making him an excellent candidate for a wealthy husband. Let all the girls take the initiative and try to get close to him."
Zheng Xiaokun's eyes widened: "Miss, this... this method is too absurd, it will be so embarrassing if word gets out."
Tan Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes at him: "I'm doing this for the sake of the Tan family bloodline. What's so absurd about it? Just do as I say."
She was convinced that her actions were well-intentioned, even though the methods were somewhat extreme.
Zheng Xiaokun hung his head, feeling helpless, yet he dared not disobey Tan Xiaoxuan's orders.
He tried to dissuade her with a pained expression: "Young Miss, the Tan family rules forbid such nonsense. What if the elders in the clan find out..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tan Xiaoxuan swiftly pulled out her chopsticks.
Pointing at Zheng Xiaokun, he said domineeringly, "Don't try to intimidate me with family rules. If you don't listen to me today, don't follow me anymore. Let's see who dares to say another word!"
Zheng Xiaokun was so frightened that he could only shut up.
Tan Xiaoxuan picked up her chopsticks again and began to eat heartily.
He also said, "Xiao Kun, sit down and eat with us. There are so many delicious dishes, I can't possibly finish them all."
Zheng Xiaokun waved his hand and said, "Miss, you can eat by yourself. I'll just watch over the fine dishes."
Tan Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes: "Whatever, don't eat it if you don't want to. You're such a blockhead."
After saying that, he wolfed down his food, his cheeks bulging out. His willful and arrogant appearance also revealed a certain liveliness and cuteness.
……
Feiyang Technology's office building stands in a bustling area of Shenzhen.
It should have been a vibrant and energetic workplace.
Now it seems shrouded in gloom, so oppressive that it's hard to breathe.
The corridor was dimly lit, and even the footsteps sounded slow and weak.
The prolonged absence of new cooperation projects felt like a heavy blow.
It shattered the employees' morale; everyone was distracted and preoccupied with their own thoughts.
The business department was particularly hard hit.
The energetic spirit of the past has vanished without a trace.
Department head Liu Shiyan is away on business, leaving the department without a leader.
The employees below immediately went wild.
Wang Dazhuang casually propped his feet up on his desk, engrossed in a long phone call.
He would occasionally blurt out a dirty joke, laughing in an exaggerated way.
Lin Dan and Liu Shishi huddled together, staring intently at their phone screens, scrolling through Weibo.
He would occasionally chuckle softly, completely losing the focus he should have had at work.
Lin Dan nudged Liu Shishi's arm and winked, "Hey, Shishi, have you seen that Jack Tan that's all over the internet?"
He looks incredibly handsome in the photo, with a cool and aloof demeanor and deep-set features.
Compared to our CEO Tan, their styles are completely different.
Liu Shishi rolled her eyes and snorted, "He is quite handsome, but what can you tell just from a photo?"
I've heard that Jack Tan has a very aloof personality and is ruthless in the business world.
Ordinary people can't get close to him.
Unlike General Manager Tan, who, although a bit strict, occasionally cracks a joke with us and is much more approachable.
The two chatted back and forth, and their discussion gradually veered off course, eventually touching on Jack Tan's private life.
Lin Dan lowered his voice mysteriously: "You know, such a big shot must have a very exciting private life."
Those socialites and actresses would fawn over him.
Little did they know that JackTan's photos were circulating online at that moment.
It was just a prank by Tan Xiaoxuan when she had nothing better to do; she deliberately let it out to cause trouble.
Meanwhile, Tan Xiaoxuan, the instigator of this incident.
He was nestled on the sofa in his luxurious villa, legs crossed.
I laughed so hard I almost fell over as the online discussion escalated.
She was just bored, so she randomly picked a handsome photo and made up some exaggerated information.
It was posted under JackTan's name, with the intention of adding some fun to the dull workplace.
I was just checking out everyone's reactions when I saw what would happen; little did I know it would cause such a huge stir.
Zhu Ziqing sat at her desk, her fingers unconsciously flipping through the documents.
Today she was dressed in a simple business suit, her smooth hair falling down her fair neck.
His eyes kept drifting to the JackTan messages popping up on the computer screen.
In an instant, memories of the past flooded back like a tide.
The image of Wanqingsha's former glory flashed through my mind; it was so full of vigor back then.
When they first met, Wan Qingsha was dressed in an expensive suit and accompanied by a luxury car.
Her every move exuded nobility, and in her eyes, that was an existence that was unattainable and out of reach.
Like a god in the clouds.
But once you get to know them, you discover that beneath that glamorous facade lies nothing more than selfishness, domineering arrogance, and hypocrisy.
"Hmph, money, power, status—they're all empty things. It's better to live a down-to-earth life." Zhu Ziqing murmured softly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Now, she only has Tan Haoyu in her heart and eyes, and only asks to be with him peacefully.
Whether it's the mundane necessities of daily life or the mundane details of everyday life, happiness is found in all of them.
Occasionally, however, she would feel somewhat puzzled by Tan Haoyu's almost ascetic lifestyle and his restrained and reserved emotional expression.
Tan Haoyu is completely focused on his work and rarely takes the initiative to be affectionate.
Even so, every glance and every unintentional touch filled her heart with sweetness and overflowing love.
Zhu Ziqing stared at Jack Tan's message, a strange pang of sadness rising in her heart.
It's not that I have any special feelings for this person I've never met.
Instead, those messages inexplicably stirred up her past memories of Wan Qingsha.
Past sweetness, arguments, and betrayals flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, leaving her somewhat lost in thought.
But in an instant, her gaze fell upon the photo of her and Tan Haoyu on the table, and that bitterness was dispelled by her overflowing love.
Although Tan Haoyu is still busy all day long, his ascetic style remains unchanged.
But Zhu Ziqing was able to capture the tenderness hidden beneath his cold exterior from the smallest details.
Like a perfectly warm cup of coffee on the table in the morning, or a coat quietly draped over your shoulders during an evening walk.
Every single thing she did with Tan Haoyu was out of love.
