Chapter 15: Scorn Won't Kill You
After crossing the hall and entering the elevator, it just so happened that the company's financial director Zhang Xixi was also waiting for the elevator.
"Good morning, Director Zhang!"
Almost every large corporation has this peculiar habit: when you meet a high-ranking official, you have to warmly stand up and greet them. Although it's just a superficial ritual, it must be fully performed.
Of course! Even if Jia Zhenjing had been mixing in the company for a long time, he still had to say these polite and well-behaved words.
"Good morning, Director Zhang!"
Jia Zhenjing, like an obedient grandson, had just been loafing for half the day. His face instantly changed now, grinning from ear to ear. Moreover, his small eyes kept peeking into Zhang Xixi's short skirt, especially today, as she was wearing an exposed OL (office lady) outfit that bared large swaths of delicate white skin on her chest.
The three of them entered the elevator at the same time.
Director Zhang Xixi didn't want to deal with such people at all.
A low-level security guard and a company's financial director—you tell me, can these two types of people even come together?
Zhang Xixi gave Jia Zhenjing a disdainful glance.
Then she glanced slightly at Lin Zifeng standing behind Jia Zhenjing before coldly turning her head away.
"Tsk, tsk! If there's a gap, there will be fire!"
Jia Zhenjing, standing behind Zhang Xixi, softly praised in a low voice.
But immediately after, Director Zhang turned her head and gave him a fierce glare.
However, Lin Zifeng was just about to ask Jia Zhenjing what he had said when, unfortunately, this extremely awkward scene was witnessed by Director Zhang herself.
Lin Zifeng, facing Zhang Xixi's nearly spitting fire gaze, was suddenly at a loss for words. He raised his hand and swallowed, but she, Director Zhang, disdained even to look.
Seeing Director Zhang's man-eating glare, could it be that she mistook the earlier comment as his own words?
Lin Zifeng pondered.
But what completely surprised Lin Zifeng was that at this moment, Jia Zhenjing, that irresponsible guy, suddenly screamed in pain from a stomachache!
Then he shamelessly sat down on the floor of the elevator.
"Ouch...!"
"Brother Jia, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Brother Jia, is it serious?"
Lin Zifeng hurried to help him, but who knew this bastard would slap Lin Zifeng away.
Making faces at Lin Zifeng, he gave him a suggestive look.
This left Lin Zifeng a bit dumbfounded! Could it be that his attempt to help was also wrong?
But the next moment, he figured it out.
This old rascal was actually directing his lecherous eyes into Director Zhang Xixi's OL short skirt.
Showing a face full of lustful intent.
In an instant, Lin Zifeng was completely conquered by him. So seducing women and creating a romantic atmosphere could also go like this? This... this...!
Hearing strange noises behind her, Zhang Xixi instinctively turned around. But unluckily at that moment, as Lin Zifeng bent down to help Jia Zhenjing, he curiously glanced at Zhang Xixi's short skirt.
Instantly, their two blazing gazes met, and Lin Zifeng, caught in awkwardness, didn't know what to say.
Zhang Xixi glared angrily, not expecting that the new guy would be so shameless.
She moved forward with big strides, her gaze coldly sweeping over Lin Zifeng. However, as the director of finance and assets at Tianyu Group, Zhang Xixi had struggled in the corporate world there for many years.
Her character was far from that of an ordinary pure-hearted girl.
She didn't shout, nor did she rush forward swinging her fists without relent, but instead conveyed an extremely scornful attitude through her eyes. After all, within the vast company, everyone was involved in open and covert struggles, and who knows how many people coveted her position as the director of finance and assets. If someone stirred up any trouble or scandal, it would tarnish the company's image, which wouldn't be good for her own interests and future. Therefore, Zhang Xixi remained calm and rational.
At this time, Jia Zhenjing also stood up, looking the picture of grievance, with his hands covering his stomach, acting as if nothing had happened.
Lin Zifeng was now bewildered too, feeling caught in a dilemma. If he stepped forward to resolve the issue, he'd inevitably offend Jia Zhenjing, but if he didn't clear things up, where would he put his face?
Lin Zifeng raised a hand, ready to attempt a solution.
But Zhang Xixi had already labeled him a pervert in her eyes, her gaze filled with loathing as she glared fiercely at Lin Zifeng.
"Director, you don't have to look at me like that, I didn't even look at your butt!" Lin Zifeng said with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Yet this statement created a situation akin to the saying "a guilty conscience needs no accuser!"
Did Zhang Xixi say that he looked at her butt? Did Zhang Xixi directly accuse him by name? No, she didn't.
Wasn't this indirectly admitting that he had looked at her butt?
"What are you talking about, kid!" Jia Zhenjing quickly interrupted.
And Zhang Xixi just gave him a cold look, her eyes filled with anger and humiliation.
By then, the elevator doors had opened, and as she left, Zhang Xixi's resentful gaze made Lin Zifeng quite uncomfortable.
"Damn it! That woman is crazy! She was even wearing a pair of panties under her shorts! I didn't see a damn thing! It's infuriating!"
Jia Zhenjing's face was a picture of tragic anger.
"Then why were you gaping just now?"
Lin Zifeng spoke irritably, too lazy to explain the misunderstanding. After all, Tianyu Group was simply too big, and the interpersonal relationships were extremely complicated. There was no need to resolve so many chance encounters. Let the misunderstanding stand as it was.
"I opened my mouth because she was wearing panties, I didn't see anything, what did you think?"
Jia Zhenjing's eyes bulged, his demeanor shameless, his beady little eyes darting around.
Lin Zifeng now fully recognized what sort of person he was and simply smiled faintly, no longer paying him any mind.
He truly hadn't anticipated that such outrageous characters existed in Huaxia.
Voyeurism taken to such despicable levels; truly, an oddity indeed.
"Brother! Our company has no shortage of stunning beauties! If one day you feel the urge, just give me a shout, and I'll definitely teach you a couple of tricks that are sure to work!" Jia Zhenjing said, righteously slinging an arm around Lin Zifeng's shoulder, bragging and shooting the breeze.
"Forget it, with a seasoned lover like Jia here, your skills must be mighty powerful! I doubt I have the capacity to learn them."
"Oh, come on! How boring! We're brothers now. How could I enjoy things all by myself? As long as I have food on my plate, you'll definitely get a share. How about going out with me tonight for a good time?"
How generous of you! But why didn't you consider my feelings just now? The vile and lowly act of peeping under someone's skirt is something you're capable of; what good can you possibly teach me? Following you would just bring me bad luck for generations.
Lin Zifeng rolled his eyes helplessly and then took out a cigarette and lit it for Jia Zhenjing.
"Bro, let me tell you! I know all about who in our company has the biggest butts and the fullest chests. I even know the color of their underwear; believe it or not?"
Jia Zhenjing squinted his eyes, taking a deep drag of the cigarette, bragging to his heart's content in front of Lin Zifeng, acting as if he had personally inspected the underwear of every employee in the company.
"Heh! Turns out Jia has quite the hobby there! So tell me, what color is the underwear of CEO Nangong? And what size cup does she wear?"..
