Chapter 50.2: The Tyrant President’s Favor

　　In terms of assets, capabilities, and even fighting skills, Jiang Dai was in no way inferior to men. Concurrently, she was also in no lack of female advantage since she possessed such breathtaking beauty.

　　From an early age, Sheng Wanwan was always envious of those beautiful and incredible girls whom no one dared to bully. Hence, she had admired several brilliant seniors back in her school days. However, if she were to compare them with Miss Jiang Dai, it would seem that they would undoubtedly be a couple of heads shorter than her.

　　After deliberating for a long while, Sheng Wanwan remarked, “I’ve always had it in my mind that when someone with your upbringing and capabilities finds themselves in a situation like this, they would surely have sought justice at all costs. Yet, here I am acting so cowardly……”

　　Even so, Jiang Dai remained noncommittal. “I wouldn’t call this cowardly, but rather, you’ve exercised moderation in all things. In any case, it was just a mere coincidence when I saved you last night, so you don’t have to worry about it, much less feel pressured over this. In the future, you shouldn’t care about what others think and just do the things you need to do, without forgetting to make the best decisions for yourself.”

　　‌As she said so, Jiang Dai decided to pull her punches as she no longer wished to provide Sheng Wanwan with any counseling.

　　Regardless of how young she was, Sheng Wanwan was still an adult capable of taking responsibility for her decisions.

　　With that, Jiang Dai attempted to imagine what it would be like if their identities were swapped and she was placed in Sheng Wanwan’s position. Perhaps, she would not have bothered to call the police for the sake of something that was difficult to obtain results. 

　　Under the premise of not suffering from any loss, it was undoubtedly more important for an ordinary girl, who required a job to support her family, to safeguard her job than to seek the so-called justice.

　　As soon as he entered the room, Huo Rongshen stood before her desk. “Have I offended you in some way? I merely want an answer from you.” Huo Rongshen’s tone was tinged with innocence.

　　Upon hearing that, Jiang Dai was at a loss for words as her hand froze above her tablet.

　　When she came to think about it, he had indeed not offended her in any way since whatever occurred yesterday had nothing to do with Huo Rongshen. All she could say was that he had a sick admirer who would do some ridiculous things every now and then just to annoy people out of spite. What’s more, it was apparent that this ‘Qi Yao’ person did not become discouraged easily. Noticing how she would work herself into a frenzy whenever Huo Rongshen ignored her, Jiang Dai suspected Qi Yao might just be a masochist.

　　Under her current state of calmness, not only did Jiang Dai consider the irrational displeasure she felt last night was not worth her becoming upset over it, but her heart also sort of went out to Huo Rongshen.

　　How awful it must be for him to have encountered a lickspittle like her. 

　　It was not that Jiang Dai had never experienced what it was like to be pestered by people in all sorts of ways — People had confessed to her boldly back in her high school days and even blocked her path to cause a scene when she was studying for her degree. However, not once had she encountered one who would persevere for more than a decade……

　　‌With that in mind, she returned to replying to the email on her tablet as she stated perfunctorily, “You’re reading too much into this, Mr. Huo, since you’ve not offended me.”

　　‌Huo Rongshen retorted, “In that case, why did you block me on WeChat? You’ve not done so when we divorced, so what triggered you to block me now? I thought you said we could still be friends after we separated?”

　　As a matter of fact, Jiang Dai was never one who would block someone in a fit of pique.

　　Under any normal circumstances, she had meant it whenever she blocked someone, and that person would never find themselves back in her contacts again.

　　‌Yet, it was pretty rare for her to have blocked someone in the spur of the moment……

　　Even at this point, she was still unclear about what the hell had gone on last night. It was as though a sudden sense of irritability surged forth and began to intensify as her mind was whirling with plenty of thoughts. Initially, it would undoubtedly have been much better if she had the chance to calm down. Yet, Huo Rongshen, for some unknown reason, decided to send her messages on WeChat after rejecting his calls.

　　‌Not only was she plagued with exhaustion and sleepiness, but she was also pretty vexed at the situation. When she sensed the man next to her had been keeping his eyes trained on her body, it was tantamount to intensifying her irritability. Trembling in rage, she had him blocked on WeChat without a second thought.

　　Now that she had already blocked him on WeChat, there was no reason for her to include him in her contacts once more.

　　Despite his insistence, Jiang Dai merely gave him a nonchalant response. “Oh, I was just cleaning up the list. Since my friends list on WeChat was full, I had to free up some space for new friends. Well, you know about banquet events like last night’s, and I’ve come to be acquainted with numerous business elites…… Good gracious, it’s not like we have any business ties, so there’s technically no need for us to keep in contact. Even if there are any urgent matters, you can always contact me through email or text messages. It won’t make a difference.”

　　Noticing how perfunctory Jiang Dai’s explanation was, there was no way Huo Rongshen would be able to accept that.

　　With that in mind, the man’s handsome visage became increasingly sullen. After a moment of silence, he propped his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly to favor her with a hard stare. “It must be due to Qi Yao then? Apart from her, I can’t think of another reason for this. As for last night, I’d admit that I do have certain responsibilities since Qi Yao came looking for me at the ballroom. Even though I had said some harsh words, I thought for sure that it would wake her up. Who would have thought that she became crazier and even went as far as to come up with despicable acts like this?”

　　Upon hearing such ridiculous words, Jiang Dai tried her best to curb her smile.

　　As it happened, she found Qi Yao’s plans too cryptic and fanatical. Even if her plan had gone down the drain and Huo Rongshen’s secretary eventually became the one who consumed the red wine, she could always leave it at that. Why on earth would she change her target to Sheng Wanwan at that instant?

　　Could this be the instinct of a tool used to move the story forward?
