Chapter 641: Unconvinced With Me

She lowered her head and walked out of the office dejectedly, not expecting too much.

Just as she was at the office door, Gu Man suddenly called out to Zhang Li, “Wait.”

Zhang Li instantly raised a huge hope in her heart, but she felt that it was impossible. She had already discovered such a low-level mistake, so how could Gu Man choose to forgive her?

“Are you very unconvinced of me?” Gu Man looked at Zhang Li and suddenly said something incongruous, as if it had nothing to do with the entire matter.

Zhang Li immediately revealed a terrified expression and quickly waved her hand. “No, definitely not. It’s my fault this time. How can I dare to be unconvinced?”

“Not today, but before.” Gu Man tapped her fingertips on the table and looked at the expression on Zhang Li’s face.

The office fell silent. Zhang Li stared at the pair of ink-like eyes and could not lie.

However, the long silence was the best truth. Instead of answering, it was an answer.

“Do you think I’m young, or do you think I obtained the shares of this company through other means?” Gu Man pressed on step by step, determined to get an answer from Zhang Li.

Zhang Li seemed to know that she had no way to lie to Gu Man, so she simply walked out on a tray. “In the beginning, it wasn’t just me. Most of the people in the company were very unconvinced. Although your methods were indeed very fierce at the beginning, perhaps because you haven’t come to the company for a long time, everyone relaxed around you, including me.”

She finally mustered the courage to look up and meet Gu Man’s gaze. She thought that she would be able to see a grand anger, but she only saw Gu Man’s amused expression.

“Very good. I’m very happy that you can tell the truth. This is the truth. The prejudice of the human heart is a huge mountain. Age represents experience. It’s normal that it’s difficult for you to change it.” Gu Man’s eyes were smiling as she stared straight at Zhang Li.

“I can give you a chance now, a chance to continue staying by my side.”

Gu Man’s words made Zhang Li overjoyed, but there was no free lunch in the world. She understood this very well. Moreover, she had just done such a thing. Gu Man would definitely not give her this opportunity for nothing.

“Miss Gu, if there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely do it.” But even so, Zhang Li had to seize this opportunity, because this was her only chance.

“What I need you to do is move the mountain in people’s hearts away.” Gu Man met Zhang Li’s gaze.

After a long time, the office door was pushed open again. Zhang Li looked at Jiang Zi, who was still waiting outside, in surprise. “Why aren’t you entering?”

Jiang Zi leaned against the wall and pushed her hair back in frustration. “I’ll go in later. What did the two of you say?”

Zhang Li recalled the topic she had just discussed with Gu Man and avoided Jiang Zi’s gaze. “Nothing.”

Jiang Zi could tell at a glance that Zhang Li had something to say, but he did not care about the content of these conversations. He just wanted to know what Gu Man was doing inside.

“Alright, you can leave.” Jiang Zi waved his hand and chased Zhang Li away like she was a fly.

Zhang Li tactfully did not continue to stay here and quickly disappeared from Jiang Zi’s sight.

Jiang Zi leaned against the wall and watched her leave. He quickly turned to look at the closed office door.

If they had met earlier, their ending would still be like this.

Jiang Zi smiled self-deprecatingly and lit a cigarette.

Why has he become so emotional now? What did he mean by meeting her earlier? This was not his style.

Just as he was about to leave, the office door behind him suddenly opened. Jiang Zi stopped in his tracks and subconsciously turned around.

As soon as Gu Man came out, she smelled the strong smell of cigarettes in the corridor and frowned.

Jiang Zi looked at Gu Man’s expression and revealed a flustered expression. He immediately stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and pretended to put it in his pocket as if nothing had happened..
