Zuo Ling looked at the enthusiastic Li Tong and thought he must be hallucinating.
The aloof and stunning Li Tong was actually taking the initiative to greet him.
Zuo Ling felt countless envious gazes turning towards him.
Oh my god!
He couldn’t be dreaming, could he?
Zuo Ling pinched the inside of his thigh hard.
Ouch!
It hurt.
He wasn’t dreaming.
Zuo Ling looked up at Li Tong, "Tong, Tongtong."
Li Tong smiled slightly, "Please enlighten me on work-related matters in the future."
"Of course," Zuo Ling nodded, "If you have any questions about work, just ask me."
"Thank you, Zuo Ling," Li Tong casually picked up a paper bag from the desk, "To thank you, I’m treating you to breakfast."
Zuo Ling sheepishly accepted the breakfast bag.
When a woman takes the initiative to show favor to a man, her intentions are all too obvious!
Li Tong must have fallen for him.
Maybe she even moved here for him!
Zuo Ling thought smugly to himself.
During the lunch break, Li Tong went to talk with other female colleagues, while a few male colleagues surrounded Zuo Ling.
"Zuo Ling, you dog! You even tamed a beauty like Li Tong!"
"Zuo Ling, share some tips with us!"
"Exactly, exactly, you can’t keep these tips to yourself! You have to share with us all, so we can all win a beauty!"
Zuo Ling was very pleased inside, but he feigned humility, "Actually, I didn’t do much; maybe I just happen to be the type Li Tong likes."
"Zuo Ling, you can’t be serious! Are you still hiding something?"
Another colleague chimed in, "Hey, do you guys know who Li Tong is? She’s the Factory Manager’s niece!"
"The Factory Manager’s niece?" Zuo Ling looked at the colleague who spoke in surprise, "Really?"
Although he knew there was some connection between Li Tong and the Factory Manager, he didn’t know Li Tong was actually the niece of the Factory Manager.
Their Factory Manager was in her fifties, still unmarried, without any children of her own; if Li Tong really was her niece, then she was almost like a daughter to her!
After the Factory Manager passes away, the factory would belong to Li Tong!
"Of course it’s true! I once saw Li Tong come out of the Factory Manager’s office, calling her ’Auntie’. Now, isn’t that proof enough that she is the niece?"
As soon as others heard that Li Tong was the Manager’s daughter, their expressions changed as well, their eyes revealing even more evident envy.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Zuo Ling, you can’t forget us when you make it big!"
"Zuo Ling, you must have stepped in a fortune to be seen differently by the future Factory Manager!"
"Zuo Ling, you’ve got to seize the opportunity, humor Li Tong well, and you could be the future Factory Manager!"
Everyone was saying their piece, and Zuo Ling was also extremely excited.
Just like everyone said, if he really married Li Tong, then he wouldn’t just be the son-in-law of the Factory Manager, he would be the future Factory Manager! In the future, the thousands of people in the factory would be under his command!
No!
He had to seize the opportunity that lay before him.
It seemed that these days he needed to maintain a proper distance from Shangguan Xi.
He couldn’t let Li Tong find out anything.
Shangguan Xi had clearly felt Zuo Ling distancing himself from her these past days.
During lunch, he wouldn’t come to the cafeteria but ate in the office instead, and after work, he didn’t wait for her anymore.
What was wrong with him?
Could it be because of the marriage matter, he was angry?
Shangguan Xi stood in front of the window, letting out a deep sigh, and just then, she was embraced from behind.
"Zuo Ling!" Shangguan Xi turned around in surprise, and the person was indeed Zuo Ling.
