193 — Tong Zhian The Investor

Or should he enlist Li Chuanmo's help to silence them once and for all? He didn't know the extent of Li Chuanmo's influence, but felt that they could achieve much if they joined forces.

His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle voice by his side. "Hi, you look like you're under a lot of stress. Would you like some wine?"

Gao Tinghua's first instinct was to frown. Who was this person?

Turning to the side, he saw a young lady smiling coquettishly at him. She was holding up a glass of red wine in his direction.

Gao Tinghua was a bit of a weirdo. Most of the girls he had ever taken a fancy to really had only two things in common:

Red lips and white teeth.

In other words, as long as they were women and looked presentable, he had no other requirements.

Ordinarily he would have taken her words and action as an invitation to flirt, but he was currently not in the mood. He had too much on his plate.

Besides, his many years of "experience" had given him the ability to evaluate a woman in three seconds and summarize her in three words.

For Pei Yueran, she was "Elegant," "tough" and "perfect."

For his fiance Han Jingse, the words were "Pretty," "pretentious" and "a nuisance."

Now looking at this lady he didn't even know, his brain automatically supplied, " Green tea," "fake" and "pest."

So after that cursory glance, he just raised the divider and went back to his thoughts.

The lady — Sun Jiami was stunned. She was obviously not expecting to be snubbed outrightly. Didn't she look friendly and pretty enough?

She had actually seen him in the news and heard a bit about him. He was a well known playboy in the Capital, so why was he looking so disinterested? Was he playing hard to get?

She was not resigned and decided to try again. The second time she knocked on the divider, she heard a cold voice, "Don't do that again unless you want to be banned from flying on this airline."

Annoyed, she finally stopped. It was actually difficult for her to fly at all, much less fly first class. She had just begun to enjoy it, and she didn't want to stop anytime soon.

Of course she could fly other airlines, but flying first class on Gaoyi Airlines was a sort of status symbol among her friends, so it would be utterly humiliating if she got banned by the Young Master of the company himself.

The world finally turned quiet and Gao Tinghua sighed in relief, turning back to his thoughts. Oddly, the scene of his first meeting with Pei Yueran arose unprompted in his mind.

Did she feel as irritated as he felt just now when he kept pestering her? No wonder she pulled up the divider real quick at the time. He gave a wry smile at the thought.

Just then, it was announced that the airplane was about to land, so the usual activities of fastening their seatbelts, tucking in the trays and so on were in full swing.

After going through the formalities, Gao Tinghua soon exited the airport. Faithful Tong Zhian was already waiting for him with the car, and they were soon on their way home.

Immediately he turned on his phone, a series of missed calls popped up, more than half of them from a single number.

Despite the number being unknown, the Caller identification app showed the name Han Jingse, causing Gao Tinghua's head to start hurting all over again. He gripped his phone tightly in annoyance.

He had almost forgotten about this unresolved issue. Since the last time he blocked her, he had been too preoccupied with other issues.

It seemed she finally caught on and got a new number to pester him with.

Tong Zhian looked at him through the rearview mirror and said, "Boss, are you planning to shatter that phone too?"

Gao Tinghua raised an eyebrow, which Tong Zhian didn't notice, "And what is it to you if I shatter it?"

Tong Zhian became visibly excited, "That's great, because I have a new phone brand to recommend to you. The design is very sleek, the camera is extremely sharp, and it even has a host of other amazing features. You'd definitely love it."

Gao Tinghua looked at him coldly. It seems that this personal assistant of his was really no longer afraid of him.

"You're too nosy, just mind the business I pay you to manage." His words were harsh but without heat, so Tong Zhian knew he wasn't really angry.

He continued, "And why are you so eager to introduce this brand to me? Did you invest in this company or what?"

Tong Zhian: "..."

"Boss, you're too smart!" He praised, causing Gao Tinghua to give him an eye roll.

Tong Zhian wasn't too bothered that Gao Tinghua guessed correctly as he knew that no matter what, it was only a matter of time before his boss smashed this phone as well.

He only needed to sit still and earn millions due to his wise investment.

The thought actually put a smile on his face and he drove merrily, humming a tune.

Just to make sure he would not keep smiling for long, Gao Tinghua made up his mind to treasure this phone and make sure it lasted for at least a year. This way, his personal assistant would be sorely disappointed.

Looking at the messages, his frown got deeper. There were several nude pictures from different ladies he probably dated in the past but didn't even remember.

He scrolled past them disinterestedly. Just at a glance, there was nothing to see. The mass of dry looking skin could not arouse his interest. None could measure up to the creamy white softness he saw that night —

Gao Tinghua slapped himself out of his thoughts. What was he even thinking about?

Tong Zhian saw his action and sighed. His boss is having one of those psychiatric episodes again? At this rate, won't he go completely insane?

Trying to focus, Gao Tinghua looked for more neutral messages he had to answer. When he saw a message from Han Jingse's mother, his face almost changed its structure due to his deep frown. What did she want to say this time? How did she even get his number?

As he read through, he felt an overwhelming surge of irritation. How did it concern him if her husband was caught gambling and thrown out of the company? And now what? She wanted him to fight with the illegitimate son?

He was about to fling his phone when he caught sight of Tong Zhian's look in the mirror. His hand that had been raised up silently came down.

Endure, he had to endure!
