Let them offer their loyalty

"it is good."

"Then Miss Ling, can you please let me go first? I'm having a hard time breathing."

"..."

Su Lingqing stood up after hearing that.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

At this moment, Jonas patted his collar and suddenly said:

"So, Ms. Ling, will you come out for a drink with me next time?"

Hearing this, Su Lingqing gritted his teeth.

"You're dreaming!"

PS: If nothing goes wrong, there should be another chapter in a few hours.

I'll take a break and try to finish it in the morning.

Chapter 367 I Want to Test My Weakness

Oh! What a pity! Our much-anticipated Miss Su Lingqing fell on the way to the finals.

Let us give our applause to the warrior who is closest to victory; she deserves the title for her ability!

In the end, Su Lingqing did not do anything to Jonas. Although she was a little hesitant about the other party's proposal, she finally accepted it.

After all, she didn't want to be teased by Jonas from time to time in the future. This result was obviously the best option for both parties at the moment.

Of course, the premise is that Jonas can really keep his promise, forget about this matter from now on and never mention it again.

In Su Lingqing's opinion, getting Jonas to do this is as difficult as getting him to promise not to have any bad thoughts towards her from now on.

After all, Jonas's thoughts are almost all out in the open, and the occasional teasing is based on this purpose.

But since the other party is willing to make a promise, it is always good...it is better than no promise at all.

Because even if Jonas insisted on teasing her about this, she had no way to stop him.

In general, the current situation does make people feel helpless.

And the culprit that caused all this.

Su Lingqing gritted her teeth.

——It’s all alcohol’s fault!

Su Lingqing got even more angry after taking a look at Jonas, who was still sorting his clothes and seemed to have no idea what was going on.

The other party just asked her if she wanted to go out drinking again next time.

It is true that the feeling of being tipsy after alcohol gradually enters the blood does make people very relaxed, but that is based on the premise that no one is coveting it.

Knowing that there is someone with ulterior motives around her, Su Lingqing definitely doesn't dare to relax like this anymore.

And after this happened, the other party actually invited her so naturally... Although she knew that the other party might be teasing her on purpose, for her, wasn't this equivalent to inviting her out to do that thing?

Thinking of this, Su Lingqing's cheeks turned red again. Noticing Jonas's gaze looking at her at this time, she glanced back mercilessly.

"Okay, I'm going to check the security situation in the company building. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Su Lingqing deliberately spoke in a cold tone, but the girl's performance at this time was not very convincing.

Jonas obviously noticed this, but he did not

........................................................

What happened in the office could only be considered an accident. Not to mention Jonas, the person who wanted to forget this incident the most was Su Lingqing.

Now she seemed to have returned to the most conflicted time. No matter what the other party did, it was difficult for her to feel any resentment towards Jonas.

——Is it because you are already at a low point, so no matter what you do, you will be on your way up?

In his own apartment, Su Lingqing was analyzing his own mentality with some headache.

The girl was sitting in the bedroom of the apartment. A single bed took up half of the room, covered with soft white sheets and silk quilts. There was an exquisite table lamp and a few books on the bedside table, and a piece of art hung on the wall next to it. Along the walls of the room were a row of custom cabinets and display shelves, which displayed some exquisite decorations and collections. In addition, books were piled up in the corner of the room.

This is a rather simple apartment, but fortunately the information protection here is pretty good... After all, it is located in a slum, and the company is not interested in reaching out here. Moreover, with her anti-reconnaissance awareness, it is easy for her to notice that someone is monitoring her.

Fortunately, after living here for a while, the girl did not notice that someone was watching her.

In fact, when she joined Alte Company, Jonas arranged a residence for her, but because of the above reasons, she did not accept his "good intentions".

Although she knew that Jonas would not risk losing her trust by installing surveillance equipment in the house, Su Lingqing still had some resistance to living in such a high-end apartment.

Although the place where she lives now is simple, it is still very comfortable to live in. After all, she does not have high requirements for the quality of life, and having a place to rest and settle down is enough.

Although the environment outside is indeed a bit noisy...it's not a big deal.

Su Lingqing stood up and looked out the window. In front of her was a gray, crowded, and noisy scene. Tall skyscrapers and dilapidated buildings were intertwined, people kept coming and going, chaotic traffic kept clamoring, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians shuttled back and forth, emitting a pungent exhaust smell. At the top of the building, surrounded by a windbreak full of holes, there were clotheslines of various colors hanging. Some people's household items, such as dirty sheets, worn-out clothes, pots and pans, and other daily necessities, were exposed to the sun, which reminded people of the dirtiness and crowds of this city.

Looking down from the high floor, the city blocks looked like a crumpled map, with crisscrossed streets and haphazardly built buildings entangled with each other. Narrow alleys and ruins dotted the area. She closed the window, isolating all sounds from outside.

Her noisy mood seemed to have found some peace.

From a rational point of view, she didn't want anything to happen between her and Jonas, because it would inevitably affect her subsequent judgment.

Her starting point from the beginning to the end has always been the future of mankind...If it were her old self, all factors that might hinder her would be what she would have to eliminate at this moment.

However, now she is in confusion for the first time in a long time.

Different from the previous confusion about the road, it is now a confusion about oneself.

Human emotions are also part of being human, but she is confused about this part, which is also the reason why she feels most confused.

Most of the abnormalities that have occurred recently also come from this.

It can be said that she became weaker...or rather, she became more like a living person.

She moved her eyes to the table not far away, where there was a book. She stood up and took the book in her hand.

The author's name is on the cover of the book, Emily Zhang

In this book, she explores the following topics: the philosophical foundations of human supremacy, including views on human nature and human free will, the theoretical foundations of human community, including views on interdependence and mutual assistance among community members; how to apply these theories to solve social problems such as the gap between rich and poor, power inequality and environmental destruction; how to realize these ideas in reality, including the use of technology to promote social justice, equality and freedom.

Although he had never met the author of the book, Su Lingqing always regarded him as his mentor...This was a pioneer who died two hundred years ago and was also the enlightenment mentor of most of the rebels today.

Emily developed a keen interest in philosophy and social issues at a young age, so she chose to study philosophy and sociology at university. After graduation, she began to publish her own articles and speeches to promote her ideas of human supremacy and a community of shared destiny. She quickly became a well-known thinker, attracting many supporters and fans. However, when her career was booming, her family and friends were killed in a dangerous technology experiment controlled by a large company, which made her lose her loved ones and deeply shocked.

Her grief and anger pushed her to continue exploring the relationship between technology, power and humanity, and further deepened her philosophical and social theories. She began to publicly criticize the unethical behavior of large companies and governments, and insisted on more fair and transparent governance. However, her voice and opinions soon became a thorn in the eyes of the consortium. She was subjected to a series of harassment, attacks and threats, and was even forced to flee. She was eventually found in a remote place...to be precise, in the wilderness.

It can be said that every time Su Lingqing felt confused, she would pick up this book and read it, feeling the beliefs contained therein, so as to test whether her own ideas had changed and whether they had been corroded unknowingly.

However, after picking up the book, she did not feel any emotions such as shame or regret in her heart.

She could feel that her beliefs had not been corrupted.

Since her faith is still in her heart, where does her change come from?

This is also the point where Su Lingqing has been confused again recently. She doesn’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for her.

After all, she is just a 20-year-old girl. No matter how mature and steady she is, she will inevitably fall into confusion sometimes.

The method that had always worked for her failed to work today. Not only did she not get an answer, she became even more confused.

If it's not that my beliefs and ideas have gone astray, then what is the reason that has caused me to be so conflicted now?

Su Lingqing was not aware of the so-called delicate emotions...so when she truly felt it, she showed helplessness and bewilderment that she had never shown before.

The girl who always faced her inner self chose to escape this time.

I'll explore these things later.

The girl placed the book on the bedside table and buried her head in the pillow.

The same thought that had occurred to Jonas a few days ago came to her mind.

——Escape is shameful but useful.

........................................................

Jonas was not aware of the dilemma Miss Su Lingqing was in at the moment.

In other words, there was no time to think about the dilemma that Miss Su Lingqing might be in.

Because now, it seems that he is unable to protect himself.

The white-haired older sister was sitting in the reception room, looking at him with a smile, as if she had met an old friend after a long separation...if you ignore the desire in her eyes.

"Why, Mr. Jonas doesn't recognize me?"

Chelsea's voice suddenly sounded, and the meaning revealed in her tone was self-evident.

"Uh, why is Miss Chelsea here?"

Jonas walked in calmly, not looking like he was standing the other person up.

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

The smile on the white-haired elder sister's face gradually faded, and she said unhappily:

"If you hadn't come to see me for ten days or half a month, would I have taken the initiative to come to you?"

"So how did you get in?" Jonas was more concerned about this question.

You know, before coming here, he didn't receive any news that the other party was coming.

"It was Ryoko who let me in..and it was also thanks to your security chief who took a day off today."

——It turned out to be an insider.

Jonas felt a little helpless and silently put Shigure Ryoko on the blacklist.

This kind of ungrateful employee must not be tolerated!

"Well, why are you standing there? I'm not going to do anything to you." Chelsi said with amusement.

Although being stood up by the other party did make people feel a little resentful, the moment they saw Jonas, this resentment naturally dissipated.

The white-haired sister CEO patted her thigh and motioned Jonas to come over with a smile.

Contrary to what he expected, Chelsea was not angry, which surprised Jonas.

But then, he was pulled into a warm embrace by a force.

Then he felt a soft and warm touch coming from the back of his head. The soft curve wrapped around his head. Jonas felt his head being gently caressed, as if he was surrounded by soft clouds. Chelsea's slender fingers gently tapped on his head.

——Fuck, knee pillow!

This thought suddenly popped up in Jonas' mind, and then he heard Chelsea's voice coming from above.

"As punishment for standing me up, call me sister."

Jonas coughed and asked awkwardly:

"Do I really have to shout?"

"of course."

"What if I don't shout?"

"I won't let you go"

——Is there such a good thing?

"Then I won't scream."

Jonas pursed his lips to express his attitude.

Then, he saw Chelsea said with some amusement:

"are you sure..?"

"?" Jonas was a little confused, and then he heard Chelsea say:

"In fact, before I tricked Mr. Jonas into coming there, I also informed Miss Eiffel. She should be here soon."

——You are so cruel.

Hearing this, Jonas was speechless, and then he shouted directly: "Sister Chelsi."
