Chapter 1229 Hypocrisy
After everyone in the conference room left, Jiang Nan looked at Lin Hao curiously and asked, "Brother Hao, why do I feel that you are not disappointed at all?"

"Aren't you disappointed?" Lin Hao chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm not disappointed because I had no hope for their proposal at all. The fact that they've become too big to handle is already very evident in their case."

"Besides, most of them are people who are leaving anyway, so why should I be disappointed in them?" Lin Hao said nonchalantly.

Jiang Nan nodded, but still said, "But that's not like you!"

Lin Hao said nonchalantly, "So what do we do now? Anyway, I've already warned them, and this is their last chance. What they do is entirely up to them!"

Jiang Nan raised her eyebrows and decided not to dwell on the matter anymore; it was a problem between Jian Ai and Liu Yingxia.

Thinking of Jian Ai, Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and asked Lin Hao curiously:

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Commissioner Jian has invited you to lunch together!"

After speaking, he stared intently at Lin Hao, trying to discern something from his eyes. However, Lin Hao asked with a puzzled expression:

"She asked me out to dinner, why didn't she just tell me herself?"

Jiang Nan smiled and asked meaningfully, "Usually, this kind of situation is a sign that the relationship is breaking down. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"What's there to regret? It's all in the past!" Lin Hao understood her little thoughts, which were Jiang Nan's concerns. She was still entangled with Jian Ai and even had a chance to get back together with her.

Then Lin Hao glanced at Jiang Nan and asked with a deliberately puzzled look, "By the way, why are you still sitting here?"

Jiang Nan got up and went behind Lin Hao to massage him, then said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm doing this to keep you company!"

"We're in the conference room, so be mindful of your behavior!" Lin Hao said in a low voice while enjoying Jiang Nan's massage.

"No!" Jiang Nan said, quickly kissing Lin Hao before swiftly pulling away.

At the same time, Liu Yingxia was summoned to the president's office by Andy.

After Andy poured Liu Yingxia a cup of tea, he said:

"Director Liu, if I remember correctly, you've been with the company for many years!"

"Yes!" Liu Yingxia said nervously.

Andy said calmly, "You've worked your way up from a junior employee to where you are today. Your work is steady and solid, and that's something I admire!"

"Thank you for the compliment, boss!" Liu Yingxia was a little nervous, afraid that Andy would tell her that she had been reassigned or laid off.

Liu Yingxia then reported on her current work:

"The optimization is now in its mid-to-late stages, and it aligns with President Lin's direction, which he personally approves of!"

Andy smiled and nodded, then encouraged him:

"The results are indeed remarkable, your abilities are superb, this is excellent, I hope you will continue your efforts in the future!"

"Don't worry, this is all part of my job!" Liu Yingxia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After leaving Andy's office, Liu Yingxia almost couldn't help but shout out loud. From Andy's words, it was clear that he was quite satisfied with her work, and her position as director was safe.

Of course, besides being happy, Liu Yingxia also understood that Jian Ai had helped with the optimization work, and Lin Hao must have also contributed a lot to her continued position as director; otherwise, according to her prediction, she would most likely have been reassigned.

······
Meanwhile, Lin Hao arrived at the appointed time and went to a private room in a restaurant downstairs.

As soon as I entered the private room, I heard Zhou Yiming making a phone call:
"You're welcome. We're quite optimistic about your project, but we still need to investigate the specifics carefully, so there's no need for you to rush!"

Upon seeing Lin Hao enter the private room, Zhou Yiming's eyes widened, and his expression immediately changed.

He then quickly told the customer on the phone, "That's all for now, I'll talk to you in more detail later!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yiming asked Lin Hao in surprise, "Why are you here!"

Although Lin Hao knew perfectly well what was going on, he still feigned surprise and said, "It was Jane who arranged it!"

"You stay here, I'm leaving!" Zhou Yiming said, trying to slip away as he spoke, sensing that things were not going well.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Hao pulled Zhou Yiming.

"What?" Zhou Yiming asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Why did she ask you out too!" Lin Hao glared at Zhou Yiming, feigning ignorance as he questioned, "Did you say something to her?"

Zhou Yiming, a skilled actor himself, feigned innocence and said, "How would I know!"

Seeing that Lin Hao still looked suspicious, Zhou Yiming immediately said:
"Lin Hao, let me tell you, I didn't tell her anything. You stay here, I have something to do, so I'm leaving now!"

"Come back!" This pulled Zhou Yiming back from his attempt to run away.

"Don't hold me back!" At this moment, Zhou Yiming just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also felt a little resentful towards Jian Ai for making things so awkward for everyone. No wonder Lin Hao didn't want to remarry her and wanted to start a new life instead.

If it were him facing Jane, he wouldn't be able to stand such affectation, such a person who doesn't give others any face and always likes to make things worse.

"Come back!" Lin Hao pulled Zhou Yiming back.

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside and hit Zhou Yiming on the forehead. Fortunately, Lin Hao pulled him up, otherwise he would have not only gotten a bump, but would have bled quite a bit.

"Are you alright?" Jia Kuan, who opened the door, laughed and joked, "I was wondering what was blocking the door!"

Lin Hao glanced at Zhou Yiming, then said with a double meaning, "Turns out, he's not a good person!"

“You could say that!” Jia Kuan said with a smile.

"Jia Kuan, are you out of your mind?!" Zhou Yiming said angrily, rubbing his forehead. "Why did you push the door so hard?"

“If I don’t push the door open, how am I supposed to get in?” Jia Kuan retorted.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Yiming asked angrily.

No sooner had Zhou Yiming finished speaking than Jian Ai's voice rang out: "I called him here!"

He glanced at Zhou Yiming, then went straight into the private room and asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Jia Kuan knew the situation was bad, so he pretended to be stupid and said:

"You guys are so disloyal! You didn't even invite me to the party, I had to be the one who told me!"

Lin Hao retorted speechlessly, "Jia Kuan, are you out of your mind? Look at this situation, is this a party?"

Since it wasn't his business, Jia Kuan ate his food while continuing to feign ignorance, saying, "I thought it was a mahjong game, but after I got here I realized it wasn't like that at all!"

"He's really lacking in common sense!" Zhou Yiming said sarcastically, somewhat speechless. "He's actually eating quite a lot!"

Seeing Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming's condition, Jia Kuan immediately concluded that it definitely had nothing to do with him, so he said frankly:
"I haven't done anything wrong, so what am I afraid of!"

“That’s well said, Brother Kuan. For that alone, I have to toast you!” Jian Ai raised her glass to Jia Kuan and said.

"So many years have passed, everything has changed, but the only thing that hasn't changed is your kindness!"

“That can’t be changed, we’re honest people!” Jia Kuan said happily, clinking glasses with Jian Ai.

"Then do me a favor!" Jian Ai said, taking a bank card out of her pocket and handing it to Jia Kuan.
"Help me give this card to that person, and then have that person return it to the other person!"

Jane Ai's explanation was somewhat roundabout, and Jia Kuan didn't know the details either, but he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. However, he dared not show off now.

"Which one?" Jia Kuan glanced at Lin Hao, then at Zhou Yiming, and asked with a puzzled look:

"Who is that person?"

"That person, was it one person or two people? Where is that person?"

Seeing Jia Kuan feigning ignorance, Lin Hao said directly, "The first one was me!"

"The other person is a beast who betrayed his friends, understand?" After saying that, Lin Hao glanced at Jian Ai.

"Who are you calling a beast?" Zhou Yiming asked, his face immediately showing displeasure.
"How can you talk like that? How do you know it must have been that person who said it?"

"Isn't it you?" Lin Hao retorted to Zhou Yiming, "Isn't it you?"

Lin Hao's question left Zhou Yiming speechless. After all, the parties involved were all there, and even Jia Kuan, who was unrelated, had been called over. There was no room for tact, and he could only keep quiet and tacitly agree to the matter.

"Hurry up, Kuan-ge!" Jian Ai, who was watching them argue, found it particularly amusing and immediately urged them on.

"Aren't they both here?" Jia Kuan also felt a bit awkward, and only then did he belatedly realize that Jian Ai was acting strangely, as if she was watching the three brothers' antics.

So Jia Kuan chuckled twice and subconsciously refused, saying, "Why don't you just give it to him yourself? Why do you need me to give it to him?"

Meanwhile, the other three people in the private room were looking at him with strange eyes. Jia Kuan also noticed something was wrong, so he swallowed the food in his mouth, then swallowed hard and said, "I'll give it to you!"

As he spoke, he placed the bank card on the rotating table, preparing to transfer it to Lin Hao. At this moment, Zhou Yiming pressed down on the rotating table and then glared at Jia Kuan together with Lin Hao.

Jia Kuan also realized that things had gotten serious. He was caught between these two groups and was now in a lose-lose situation. He then slowly withdrew his hand.

Seeing that Jia Kuan was so useless, Jian Ai reached out and started spinning the table. Zhou Yiming saw this and didn't want to continue spinning the table.

The bank card was then handed to Lin Hao, who shook his head and said, "Jane, why did you do this?"

"First of all, this money is a necessity for you, and secondly, it's the only way for you and Teacher Wu to get along without escalating the conflict!"

"To be honest!" Zhou Yiming quickly chimed in, "I think Lin Hao's words make sense!"

However, Jane was still resentful of him and therefore did not want to listen to Zhou Yiming.

So before Zhou Yiming could finish speaking, Jian Ai said to Jia Kuan:

"Brother Kuan, please tell that person again that we will handle our family matters ourselves!"

"He's not deaf, you~!" Before Hua Hai could finish speaking, he saw Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming staring at him.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Kuan said to Jian Ai with some difficulty, "You don't want to talk to him, so you want me to pass on a message to you?"

As Jia Kuan spoke, he also began to persuade, "What's the big deal? Is it really necessary to get so angry?"

Seeing that Jian Ai remained silent, she then spoke to Lin Hao:

"Lin Hao, did you hear that? It's their own family matter; they can handle it themselves!"

"Shut up!" Lin Hao said to Jian Ai, holding the bank card.
“Jane, you know how many years that bastard Zhou Yiming has been waiting for me to beg him to lend me money!”

"Why did I ask him for this money? Wasn't it all for you?"

Lin Hao knew exactly how to anger Jian Ai. As long as he said it was for her own good, Jian Ai would definitely explode!

Zhou Yiming found something increasingly off, so he asked Lin Hao, "Wait, the second half is all correct, but what does the first half mean? Who's the grandson here?"

Lin Hao silently apologized to his brother, then said to Jia Kuan:

"Jia Kuan, tell that bastard to shut up. I don't want to talk to him."

"Shut up, you son of a bitch!" Jia Kuan said, then added to Zhou Yiming, "Let me eat in peace!"

"I'll choke you to death!"

"Brother Kuan, tell that guy!" Sure enough, Jian Ai was infuriated by Lin Hao's two sentences and angrily asked Jia Kuan to pass on the message:
"After all these years, he still doesn't realize at all what his problem is!"

"They never consult me ​​about anything, always ignore my feelings, and always use the excuse that 'this is for your own good' to make their own decisions. And then, they force me to feel touched!"

"I think that's a bit of an overstatement!" To be honest, Zhou Yiming was also a little angry after hearing Jian Ai's words.

He knew his brother well and he certainly didn't mean what Jian Ai said. He felt that Lin Hao had just done what he thought was right, or what he could think of and do for Jian Ai.

In fact, his way of thinking is similar to Lin Hao's, or rather, for most men, their thinking is probably similar.

Most women can understand this, or at least most women actually like this kind of care.

To be precise, it means being able to understand Lin Hao's way of expressing love.

Jane is no ordinary woman; she is a true prodigy. If those young women talk about being independent women for the sake of boxing, then Jane is a genuine independent woman.

However, Zhou Yiming suppressed his dissatisfaction and had to say a few words of justice for Lin Hao:
"First of all, Lin Hao really didn't say he was going to tell you about this, so he didn't say anything about forcing you to be moved!"

"But I completely agree with the first part of your statement!" Zhou Yiming added at the end.

"Ahem!" Jia Kuan cleared his throat before saying to Lin Hao, "That person, did you hear me clearly?"

"They said there are too many words, and I can't remember them all anyway, so I'll just give a general summary of the lyrics!"

"You're such a chauvinist! You're too controlling and hurt people's self-esteem!"

Then Jia Kuan asked Jian Ai, "Was the summary accurate?"

“In place!” Jane Ai said expressionlessly and sullenly.

Although that was the meaning, Jia Kuan's words were too blunt, making her feel uncomfortable. She even felt that she was being too pretentious.
