169 Lin Jiao’s Promotion

“His performance is not very stable.” Tian Peng said, “But there are times when he wins.”

“That’s normal.” Xiao Song only betted a million yuan to return the favor. He did not care who won or lost.

After enjoying a boxing match, he decided to leave first to give Tian Peng time to have fun.

“Shall I send her back to you tomorrow?”

“No need.” Xiao Song put on his coat and smiled evilly. “Have fun.”

Su Tian, who was left behind, followed Tian Peng along the long corridor outside the hall and finally entered a lounge.

She listened to the door close and took the initiative to kiss Tian Peng’s lips, losing herself in the intimate atmosphere.

The curtains that blocked the light made people forget time.

Tian Peng was finally tired of her on Sunday afternoon. “Where do you live? I’ll get someone to send you back.”

“I’ll go back myself.” Su Tian endured the discomfort and kissed him before leaving.

When she returned to Lufu Bay, she happened to meet Gu Quan, who was changing his shoes and preparing to go out.

“Tian Tian.” He went forward and put his arm around her waist, his voice as gentle as ever. “Did you have fun with your friends?”

“Yes.” Su Tian smiled. “I originally planned to come back on Monday, but I missed you too much.”

“I miss you too.” Gu Quan kissed her forehead, feeling their warmth in each other’s arms.

The affection he expressed made Su Tian feel at ease.

She heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at him. “Where are you going?”

“The company.” Gu Chengyi had arranged a lot of work for him recently, making his time especially tight.

Gu Quan rubbed the top of her head. “I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Go to bed early tonight.”

“Then can you take me home to see your parents next week?”

“I’ll try my best.”

“Okay.” Su Tian tightened her grip on her bag.

She stared in the direction Gu Quan left and sat on the sofa tiredly, gradually falling into deep thought.

Based on the current situation, there was only one way for her to get rid of Xiao Song, who was not short of money.

She had to marry to Gu Quan.

As long as she married into the Gu family, with the Gu family’s influence in Lin City, Xiao Song would need to think twice before doing something.

However, it would take time to persuade Gu Quan’s parents. Before that, she could only choose to listen to Xiao Song.

Late autumn had passed and it was early winter.

Every month on the first day, the planning department would hold a monthly meeting. In addition to summarizing the work, there were also various commendations.

Zheng Yi hosted the monthly meeting.

He announced the new personnel changes, “Sun Haoran will be promoted to the supervisor of the planning department from today onwards.”

“Lin Jiao and Aly performed well last quarter. After discussing with Manager Wu, we decided to appoint the two of you as team leaders of Team Five and Six.”

A round of applause sounded.

Wu Xiuwen congratulated them one by one, encouraged the other employees, and asked Zheng Yi to arrange work.

The planning department’s task at the end of the year was not heavy, but it did not mean that they could slack off.

After listening to the arrangements carefully, Lin Jiao followed her colleagues back to her desk.

She opened the WeChat interface and sent a message to Pei Zhi. “I’ve been promoted to team leader. Ass slap.jpg.”

“I sent the wrong sticker!” Lin Jiao quickly deleted the sticker and sent another sticker with a smug face.

“It’s useless to take it back. Ass slap.jpg.”

“I’m ignoring you.jpg.”

Pei Zhi stopped teasing her. “What do you want to eat tonight? Let’s go out and celebrate. Rub your head.jpg.”

“There’s a new Chinese restaurant near the CBD. It looks good. /Picture /”

“Alright, I’ll book it immediately.”

“Then I’ll get to work first. Hug.jpg.”

Lin Jiao put down her phone and chatted with her colleagues before getting back to work.

She typed on the keyboard and spent the entire day completing two proposals before heading to the parking lot in a good mood.

“Jiaojiao.” Pei Zhi picked up a wine-colored gift box from the back seat. “This is your promotion gift.”

“When did you buy it?”

“In the afternoon.”

Lin Jiao opened the gift box and saw a Camellia brooch.

The brooch was decorated with pearls and round diamonds. It was a little retro and elegant.

“Thank you.” She leaned to the left and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I like it very much.”

Pei Zhi lowered his eyes. “Only thanks?” He placed his palm on her butt and patted it twice in dissatisfaction.

Lin Jiao felt that he was addicted to slapping her butt whenever he had the chance.

She suppressed her embarrassment and kissed his lips. Just like every time before, she was immersed in it.

She would never get tired of kissing him.

“Is this enough?” She looked into his long and narrow eyes to calm her racing heart.

“It’s not enough.” Pei Zhi rubbed her lower lip and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank me a few more times when we get home.”

His straightforward gaze made Lin Jiao blush.

“I’m hungry.” She sat back in the passenger seat. “Let’s go.”

Pei Zhi listened to her.

He put on her seatbelt and stepped on the accelerator to drive to the restaurant near the CBD.

The environment of the Chinese restaurant was good.

The waiter led them into an independent private room and briefly introduced the signature dishes before leaving them alone.

“Do you have to be out socializing the day after tomorrow?” Lin Jiao swirled the red wine glass and took a sip.

“No, why?”

“My mother wants to see you.” She pursed her sparkling lips. “Uncle Xue is free too.”

Pei Zhi nodded. “Where do they live?”

“Near the municipal government building.”

“That’s not far from Sheng Heng.” He asked what they liked and suddenly said, “I heard that your grandpa’s birthday is around the corner?”

“Yes, his birthday is on the twenty-fifth.”

“How does he plan to spend it?”

“I’m not sure.” Lin Jiao held her cheek with one hand and looked into his eyes. “I’ll ask him in two days.”

Pei Zhi changed seats before the waiter entered.

He sat on Lin Jiao’s right and held her waist as he watched appetizing dishes being placed on the dining table.

“Jiaojiao.” He blew on the hot tofu before feeding it to her. “When do you think you can be promoted to supervisor?”

“March next year.” Lin Jiao knew the promotion model of the planning department and was very confident in herself.

Pei Zhi did not doubt her ability.

He swallowed a piece of crispy duck meat. “Do you have any other plans after being promoted to supervisor?”

“Yes.” She turned to look at him. “I think what I can learn from the planning department is too limited. I want to change departments.”

“Where to?”

“Make a guess.”

Pei Zhi looked at her for two seconds.

With her career orientation, the first thing he thought of was the office on the top floor. “General Manager Office?”

“That’s right.” Lin Jiao smiled.

She fed Pei Zhi champagne. “I’ll probably apply for a transfer in April or May. Will you take care of me in the future?”
