Chapter 30: Likes Married Women

Jin Zhao had just breathed a sigh of relief when a voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Then may I ask Mr. Wei, will Wei Corporation choose students who have had news controversies with you?”

[At this point, I hope the reader will remember our domain name]

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Zhao felt countless gazes fall on her.  Turning around, she realized Su Yi was sitting in the row behind her.

And the girl who had “righteously spoken up” was one of Su Yi’s best friends, an NPC in the original book who was willing to go through fire and water for the heroine.

Su Yi quickly pulled on the girl’s clothes, and with a considerate tone, she comforted her.

“Don’t ask like that. It’ll make others feel embarrassed.”

Jin Zhao sneered. “Who are ‘others,’ you? You weren’t embarrassed when your video was on the screen, but now you are?”

She didn’t know how this girl managed to still cause trouble after being exposed this morning.  Maybe that’s what a heroine is.

A naive and sweet girl with an indomitable spirit.

Turning back to the man on stage, Jin Zhao immediately straightened her back and sat up straight.

Zhou Mo, seeing her like this, leaned over and whispered, “Zhao Zhao, do you have a backache from sitting too long?”

“Of course not.”

She was simply using her body to completely block Su Yi behind her, preventing Wei Ting from noticing that pitiful face.

She would die protecting Su Yi and Lu Sichen’s love, wholeheartedly protecting the “couple.”

The others in the auditorium were still waiting for Wei Ting’s answer to the previous question.

After all, the headline “Jin Zhao abandons Lu Sichen for Wei Corporation’s CEO” had been on the Jingda forum for a long time.

Even some well-known people in the Jing circle knew about it.

“Yes,” Wei Ting’s tone was cold. “Wei Corporation only looks at ability.”

There was a wave of boos.

“Although… Jin Zhao, that idle rich second-generation, even if she finds someone to help her pass the initial test, she’ll be eliminated in the employment assessment.”

“She’s surnamed Jin. It shouldn’t be difficult for her to use connections to get into Wei Corporation…”

Wei Ting paused for a moment, then continued, “Wei Corporation will not use some vague news as material for assessing employees. Rumors stop with wise people.”

Those who had just spread rumors about Jin Zhao and Wei Ting’s affair were instantly embarrassed.  “Rumors stop with wise people”—wasn’t that a way of saying they were fools?

Su Yi was never embarrassed, always kind.  She patted Jin Zhao’s shoulder.

“Miss Jin, I’ve always believed in you. Don’t worry about them.”

Jin Zhao looked down at her shoulder and casually said,

“Oh, just find some useless people.”

She turned to Su Yi, looking surprised. “Wow, thank you, but saying that seems like you’re stabbing your best friend in the back.”

Su Yi’s expression became slightly awkward: …

The bell rang, and Wei Ting left the stage without a second’s delay.  Jin Zhao was packing up her computer when she heard the conversation from the back row.

“Yiyi, during class, I saw Mr. Wei’s gaze linger on you several times.”

Su Yi blushed. “You’re mistaken. Mr. Wei and I didn’t know each other before.”

“You definitely weren’t mistaken. He was looking at you. After all, your face is the easiest to evoke pity. Mr. Wei must have been amazed by you.”

“Oh, don’t say that. Sichen will be angry. I only have Sichen in my heart.”

Jin Zhao in the front row: … Shocked to the point of dislocating her jaw.

How many times is this tactic going to be used?

Lu Sichen had snatched Su Yi from the second male lead before.

So, the heroine’s inner thoughts in the book are that what you can’t get always excites you, and men like to conquer women who don’t like them.

Zhou Mo whispered in her ear, “But Mr. Wei’s gaze really lingered here several times.  Could he really be looking at Su Yi…”

She hesitated. Wouldn’t Jin Zhao be throwing herself into the lion’s mouth if she joined Wei Corporation? She would be targeted by her boss every day.

Jin Zhao didn’t think Wei Ting, a man so vigilant, would fall in love at first sight.  Besides, she had heard rumors before.

And did Wei Ting look like he would like humans? He probably liked work.

“Don’t you think there’s a possibility that he might be looking at me?” Jin Zhao said seriously as she walked towards the exit of the auditorium, explaining to her.

Zhou Mo almost couldn’t help but laugh. “Zhao Zhao, are you poisoned by the air? Don’t forget, you’re a married woman.”

Jin Zhao wanted to explain that Wei Ting might be getting revenge because of the previous news, so he wasn’t looking at her with affection.

He was glaring at her with gritted teeth, wishing he could eat her.

But hearing Zhou Mo’s “married woman,” she suddenly wanted to tease her. She turned around and walked backward, staring at her mysteriously.

“Haven’t you read many romance novels?  Men like Wei Ting, who are still single and abstinent at thirty, usually have some unknown fetishes, such as—”

“Likes married women.”

As soon as Jin Zhao finished speaking, she felt the auditorium become unusually quiet. Although most of the students had already left, it shouldn’t be this quiet.

You could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Mo stared at her back with a look of panic, her eyes narrowed, quietly gesturing to her.

“Don’t make such jokes.” Jin Zhao’s hair stood on end.

What kind of horror movie atmosphere is this?

Just as she was about to turn around, a faint cedar scent, mixed with a light hint of agarwood—the unique scent of a mature man—came from behind her.

Familiar, the scent she smelled every day in Tanyuan.

The person behind her sneered, warm breath spraying on Jin Zhao’s exposed nape, causing her to shiver.

This kind of death is even more desperate than a horror movie.

The man’s low, cold voice sounded behind her. “What do I like?”

Jin Zhao slowly turned around, meeting Wei Ting’s almost emotionless face. Because of the height difference, he was looking down at her. The eyes behind his glasses were cold and scrutinizing.

“Say it again.”

The look in his eyes was as impersonal as if he were looking at a stranger.

Qin Zhuli, standing behind Wei Ting, was also trembling. Wei Ting had forgotten to take his pen from the desk, so he came back.

And he ran into this scene.

He should have stopped Wei Ting no matter what and come back to get it himself.

Jin Zhao’s mind raced.  She nervously scratched her head. “Actually, I meant the ‘enduring’ in enduring humiliation. Do you believe me?”

Although it didn’t sound good, it was better than “likes married women,” which sounded really perverted.

Wei Ting’s eyes were dark. “You know me very well?”

The remaining people in the auditorium didn’t dare to move, quietly watching the scene, waiting to see Jin Zhao’s fate.

Especially Su Yi. She was used to Jin Zhao’s arrogant and domineering attitude. Today, she wanted to see how she would deal with it in front of Mr. Wei.

This was the first time Zhou Mo had been so close to the legendary Wei Ting, especially after being caught gossiping. She was already scared stiff.

If it were usual, Jin Zhao could act cute and fool him, but not now, in front of everyone.

She could only admit her mistake and obediently say, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wei. I shouldn’t have made such outrageous statements. I promise there won’t be a next time!”

Qin Zhuli secretly looked at Miss Jin. He didn’t believe it at all. Miss Jin made outrageous statements every day.

Wei Ting looked at the person bowing her head and apologizing.  Her fluffy hair was close at hand. He walked past Jin Zhao, saying calmly.

“I hope you’ll remember your promise today.”
