Chapter 79: Chapter 79 I’m Still Taking Sides (1)_1

Just as he was about to reach out to open the drawer, there was a knock at the office door, followed by Zhang Te’s voice, "Mr. Han..."

Han Jingnian retracted his hand and spoke in an indifferent tone, "Come in."

Zhang Te entered the room, looking extremely burdened as he handed his cell phone to Han Jingnian, "Mr. Han, here is your phone."

Han Jingnian gave a sideways glance at the empty space on his desk, signaling for him to put it down.

After reluctantly setting down the phone, Zhang Te addressed Han Jingnian, "Mr. Han, there’s a dinner at the Beijing Grand Hotel at six o’clock tonight. Would you like to leave now or later..."

Han Jingnian glanced at the time and was about to say, ’wait a while longer’. However, as he was about to speak, it was as if something crossed his mind and he changed his mind, "You should go. I will not be attending."

Intuition told Zhang Te that there was a gossip to be heard, but having just been bitten by one, he dared not take a bite easily: "Alright, Mr. Han."

Han Jingnian remained silent, but his face clearly read "Report if there’s something, get lost if there’s nothing."

Zhang Te reluctantly left the office, looking back three times at his cell phone on the desk.

As soon as the office door was closed, Han Jingnian as if running out of patience, immediately picked up Zhang Te’s cell phone and opened WeChat.

He stared at the message from Xia Wan’an to Zhang Te for a while, a lively little bunny emoji, then somewhat reluctantly and distastefully played the part of Zhang Te, replying, "Hello, Mrs."

Three minutes later, the cell phone beeped.

Han Jingnian, who was sorting through his emails on his computer, immediately picked up the cell phone.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Hello, Assistant Zhang~"

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Assistant Zhang, you suddenly added me on WeChat, what’s the matter?"

Han Jingnian, out of habit, typed the character "No" but as he was about to hit send, he realized and modified the way he talked to match Zhang Cheng’s style, "No, nothing, Mrs."

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Oh."

Han Jingnian stared at the screen, his fingers hovering over it for a while, and sent a message, "Mrs., Mr. Han added you on WeChat this morning, why haven’t you accepted yet?"

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Oh."

Oh? What does that mean? Han Jingnian studied the character for a while, and then sent another message, "Mrs., Mr. Han might need something from you."

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Oh."

Han Jingnian furrowed his eyebrows determinedly and continued typing.

"Mrs., You added me on WeChat and not Mr. Han’s account. This puts me in a very... uncomfortable position." He actually wanted to use "difficult", but he thought of Zhang Te’s habit of using the phrase "I’m uncomfortable" to mean "I’m nervous" so he changed the word. Zhang Te had told him that "uncomfortable" implies tension.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Oh."

Han Jingnian’s eyebrows furrowed even more severely. He stared at the screen, his lips a thin line, as he was considering how to respond. A new message arrived on the screen.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Or I could just unfriend you? Then you won’t feel uncomfortable..."

Han Jingnian: "..."

Han Jingnian typed: "I’d rather stay uncomfortable."
