Seeing Xia Jin’s aggrieved expression, Wang Ran’s heart softened instantly. His eyes moved, and he said to Xia Jin in a somewhat mysterious manner, “I have a way to make your performance improve quickly. Do you want to hear it?”

“Ah? Really? I want to hear it! Tell me quickly!” Xia Jin appeared pleasantly surprised, and her eyes were sparkling with little stars. Her adoring eyes made Wang Yan’s heart flutter.

This little beauty is so innocent and adorable.

Wang Ran’s heart was beating faster, and he looked at Xia Jin with a hint of greed and desire in his eyes.

“Then, let’s talk while we eat.” Wang Ran gestured in the direction of the restaurant, and Xia Jin did not refuse. She followed Wang Ran shyly.

Wang Ran ordered two dishes when they arrived at the Japanese restaurant. Xia Jin looked at the Japanese food on her plate uneasily. “These… are very expensive, right? My salary isn’t high…”

“It’s okay, I’ll treat you! Feel free to order whatever you want!” Wang Ran waved his hand generously.

Xia Jin’s eyes flashed with a touch of mockery, but she looked at Wang Ran in surprise. “Really? Thank you, Mr. Wang! Then, I’ll treat you next time. I know a barbecue shop nearby that tastes pretty good.”

In just a short while, Xia Jin had already preliminarily consolidated her relationship with Wang Ran.

At this moment, Wang Ran seemed to have completely forgotten about Lin Li and his wife. He was talking to Xia Jin about his great achievements in the business world. It was as if Xinlin Food Group’s current glory was all thanks to him alone.

Xia Jin played the role of a qualified listener, revealing expressions of surprise and admiration from time to time. Wang Yan got even more excited by her gaze, and his flabby, sagging cheeks flushed red.

Xia Jin pretended to listen to Wang Yan’s words attentively, but in fact, she was thinking about her own things, so she did not notice a familiar figure appear from not far away.

“I told you to work with World Trade Center, not steal business from their representative! Don’t blame me if I see you with your personal agenda next time!” The man’s violent tone hid some impatience, vaguely revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Manager Du was already sweating profusely. The news of him taking kickbacks out of his own selfish motives had somehow reached Huo Jue’s ears. He was well aware of Huo Jue’s methods. However, Huo Jue only gave him a warning this time, as he had been working with him for quite a few years.

Manager Du wiped his sweat. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

“Mr. Huo, that is…” Manager Du looked over with some surprise.

There was still some anger in Huo Jue’s eyes as he looked over in the direction that Manager Du indicated.

A bright and lovely face fell into his eyes.

This face was very familiar to him.

However, the expression on this face was unfamiliar to him.

Huo Jue had never seen Xia Jin smile so innocently before. Xia Jin almost never smiled in front of him.

There was a man sitting opposite Xia Jin, looking somewhat obese, with a pile of fat on the back collar of his shirt.

How could Xia Jin show such an expression to such a man?

Manager Du saw Huo Jue’s eyes darkening instantly, and his entire body emitted an aura that was dozens of times more dangerous than when he was reprimanding him. Killing intent seeped out from him, and Manager Du’s heart was filled with extreme shock instantly.

He had never seen Huo Jue so angry before.

Huo Jue’s heart was indeed burning with rage at this moment.

As he was not a fool, he quickly guessed that Xia Jin must be scheming something against this man by acting so meekly towards him.

She had just joined the jewelry store, with no experience and connections. Therefore, she might even be ostracized and bullied by others and her performance would definitely not go up.

Was she preparing to use her beauty to trade for performance now?

Huo Jue could not believe it–the woman who had been with him for five years, ran off to seduce another man as soon as she left him?

Could it be that in Xin Jin’s eyes, he was no different from this fat pig?

Subconsciously, Huo Jue always felt that although he thought lightly of Xia Jin, he was unique and irreplaceable to her!

As a man, this was his innate pride.

But now, Xia Jin was flattering and pleasing another man who was far inferior to him!

Xia Jin, you are really something!

Huo Jue felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart that almost burned his rationality.

That emotion was very complicated, and it was mixed with a bit of jealousy and irritation.

After a while, Manager Du saw Huo Jue leave with a murderous look on his face without even looking at him.

Cold sweat dripped down Manager Du’s forehead.

That was close. I actually survived from Huo Jue.

However, when he thought of the way Huo Jue had looked at Xia Jin, he started to feel uneasy again.

He could faintly feel that Huo Jue’s anger this time was not ordinary, as for the woman who had made him so angry…

She is going to be very miserable..
