My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 9: Too Intimate with That Man

The meeting began.

Tan Haoyu demonstrated his ability to clearly distinguish between public and private matters, showing no favoritism whatsoever.

Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Then, we began to go into detail about the project preparation.

Her voice was clear and loud, and she explained every piece of data and every plan in a well-organized manner.

Her gaze was focused on the documents in her hands, occasionally glancing up at Tan Haoyu, her eyes filled with confidence.

After Zhu Ziqing finished her introduction, there was a brief silence in the conference room, followed by enthusiastic applause.

Zhu Ziqing glanced at Tan Haoyu and found him frowning slightly, looking at her with deep eyes.

His gaze seemed to be probing something, leaving Zhu Ziqing somewhat puzzled.

A thought stirred within her; a subtle emotion quietly spread through the serious atmosphere of the work.

The meeting adjourned, and the project team members excitedly discussed what had just happened.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and pride.

Wang Dazhuang walked over excitedly, put his arm around Zhu Ziqing's shoulder, and laughed heartily, "Ziqing, you're amazing! This time it'll definitely work."

Your performance in the meeting just now was absolutely amazing; I was completely blown away.

Tan Haoyu happened to see this.

His eyes instantly turned cold, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He spoke in a cold tone: "Zhu Ziqing, you stay."

The voice seemed to carry a layer of frost, making the surrounding air several degrees colder.

Seeing this, Yang Piaoliang quickly explained from the side, "The president still has some project details he would like to understand further."

After everyone else left, only Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu remained in the conference room.

Tan Haoyu slowly walked towards Zhu Ziqing, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

He stared at Zhu Ziqing and asked in a somewhat cold tone, "You and that man have a very close relationship, don't you?"

Zhu Ziqing was taken aback at first, then smiled awkwardly: "We're just colleagues, it's just a good time, nothing to worry about."

I will be careful, and this will not happen again, Mr. Tan.

Her eyes were somewhat flustered, and she dared not look directly into Tan Haoyu's eyes.

Upon hearing the title "President Tan," Tan Haoyu's expression changed slightly, and his dissatisfaction intensified.

He looked at Zhu Ziqing, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

There was anger, helplessness, and a hint of barely perceptible hurt.

Zhu Ziqing did not notice anything unusual about Tan Haoyu, and turned to leave after finishing her sentence.

Her steps were light, as if she had escaped an awkward predicament.

Tan Haoyu stood there, coldly watching her back, his gaze growing increasingly indifferent, like the winter wind.

His gaze was fixed on Zhu Ziqing until she stepped into the elevator.

The door slowly closed, cutting off his view.

Tan Haoyu stood there stunned for a moment, then walked towards the office.

His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and every step he took carried a suppressed anger.

He looked at Yang Piaoliang beside him and coldly uttered a sentence: "Are all women this strong-willed?"

The dissatisfaction and sarcasm in that tone sent a chill down Yang Piaoliang's spine, and he dared not say anything more.

Yang Piaoliang looked at Tan Haoyu's gloomy face, which was so dark it seemed to drip water, and her heart skipped a beat.

She knew Tan Haoyu was genuinely angry, so she quickly spoke up to defend Zhu Ziqing: "President, please don't misunderstand Zhu Ziqing."

You don't know, she was badly hurt in her previous relationships.

Being betrayed by the person you trust most feels like falling from heaven to hell.

So, when she interacts with her colleagues now, it's just a purely professional relationship, not what you're thinking.

Tan Haoyu's brows furrowed tightly into a "川" shape, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, that's her past, what does it have to do with me?"

But what I see now is her arm around another man, how am I supposed to feel about this?

Yang Piaoliang stamped her feet in frustration: "President, can't you put yourself in my shoes?"

She finally emerged from the shadows of the past.

Now, because of your position, you have to be very careful in the company.

Besides, she has you now. You are so outstanding. As long as you treat her well, she will definitely treat you wholeheartedly.

Don't get angry over such a small thing, it's not worth it.

Tan Haoyu didn't speak, but his face remained gloomy, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion that made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Zhu Ziqing hummed a little tune as she walked into the elevator, only to find herself unexpectedly encountering Ma Dongmei inside.

When Ma Dongmei saw Zhu Ziqing, a malicious smile curled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of provocation: "Oh, isn't this Zhu Ziqing? You're living the good life, aren't you? You're really riding high lately."

But don't get too cocky, I heard that President Tan is already married.

You'd better keep your little schemes to yourself, or you'll regret it later.

Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly, looked at Ma Dongmei, and said calmly, "Ma Dongmei, I don't know what you're talking about."

The CEO's marriage is a good thing, what does it have to do with me?

I'm just doing my job, unlike some people who spend all day watching others and have nothing better to do.

Upon hearing this, Ma Dongmei's face turned even uglier. She stepped forward and pointed at Zhu Ziqing's nose: "Zhu Ziqing, stop pretending! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

You must have feelings for President Tan, and now that you've heard he's married, you must be feeling terrible.

"Hmph, stop pretending to be so high and mighty."

Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly and looked at Ma Dongmei: "Ma Dongmei, I don't know what nonsense you're talking about."

The CEO's marriage is his happy occasion, what does it have to do with me?

I work hard every day, unlike you, who spends all day staring at these boring things.

Ma Dongmei sneered: "Zhu Ziqing, are you still being stubborn?"

Don't think that no one can see it; you always have your eyes glancing at the CEO.

Now that you know the CEO is married, you must be feeling terrible, right?

Zhu Ziqing's eyes turned cold: "Ma Dongmei, don't impose your filthy thoughts on me."

I respect the CEO; it's just a normal superior-subordinate relationship.

"But you, so concerned about the CEO's marriage, with all that free time, you should worry more about your own work."

Ma Dongmei was so angry that her face turned red: "Zhu Ziqing, don't be so ungrateful!"

Do you think you can fool everyone? Anyone with eyes can see through your feelings for the CEO.

The CEO is married, you should stay away from him and stop humiliating yourself.

Zhu Ziqing sneered: "Ma Dongmei, don't impose your own ideas on me."

Whether I have feelings for you or not is none of your business.

I only care about my work and life, unlike you, who are always jealous of others.

Instead of wasting your time, you should focus on improving yourself.

Ma Dongmei was trembling with anger: "You...you just wait and see! I won't let you get away with this."

Zhu Ziqing simply smiled faintly: "I'll wait and see what tricks you can come up with."

At this time, the elevator arrived.

Zhu Ziqing walked out calmly.

Ma Dongmei glared at her fiercely, secretly vowing to find a chance to get revenge.
