orth it, and I don't need you to agree.It's getting late, Mr. Kane. Let me see you out.Kane's amber eyes flickered with a hint of interest. If she had just stayed put or rushed to cling to him, he pro...Kane Ferocchi looked at the hand reaching out to him. It was thinner than it used to be, and silent. He reached out his own hand and grasped it, the calloused palm seeming so incongruous compared to the softness of her other hand.

A faint pang of unease welled up in his chest… such thinness.

If she had been given that half a million dollars back then, perhaps she wouldn't be like this today.

Unable to resist, I reached out and rubbed my fingertip against the callus in her palm.

He rubbed his hands together.

"Mr. Kane, have some self-respect."

Kane was taken aback... Self-control, she told him to have self-control.

It was a little heartbreaking, letting go of her hand.

His gaze fell on the scar on her forehead, and he remembered the feeling of gently kissing it before. His lips tingled slightly, and he quickly turned his head away, afraid he couldn't help but touch the scar again.

"This scar…"

"Mr. Kane, I feel that perhaps this collaboration was a miscalculation on my part." She said, smoothing her clothes, "Well then, farewell."

She wasn't willing to accept Shen Xiujin's help, so she would accept this person's help

She glanced at the file folder in her hand. It seemed that all her hard work these days had been for nothing. When she went out later, Vivian would probably scold her for being stupid.

Thinking and thinking, I actually chuckled lightly.

Vivian would call her stupid.

Well, Jian Tong, you're really stupid.

"Just a minute." She was already at the conference room door when Kane said from behind her,

"Can we ever go back to the way things were"

Jian Tong stopped in her tracks: “Between us, was there ever a before Mr. Kane, if you know the me from before, then please forget it.”

Once upon a time

Master and Miss

A hint of self-deprecation played at the corner of her lips.

Her past was quite wonderful.

To my knowledge, Jian Zhen Dong took most of the cash from Jian's family.

That is to say, Jian's cash flow has nearly dried up.

Jian Tong tightened his grip on the doorknob, his heart pounding: "Mr. Kane, you need evidence to make such accusations! You should know that a single false statement from you could cause turmoil in Jian Corporation's stock market and lead to legal consequences!" How did he find out!

This matter, apart from her and the finance director, no one else knew!

The finance director, absolutely couldn't ruin his career. After all, knowing that Jian Zhen Dong had taken the money from Jian Shi, the finance director also bore irreplaceable responsibility!

To put it plainly, that's conspiracy.

To put it mildly, that's a failure to fulfill one's responsibilities.

No matter what, the finance chief is definitely not getting off scot-free!

How does he know this!

"Whether it's spreading rumors, you know in your own heart." The man said in a low voice, stepping forward. "Xiao Tong, will you cooperate now"

A faint voice, ten out of nine certain, seemed to have concluded that Jian Tong would agree.

She naturally heard it too.

But...but!

With a forceful grip on the doorknob, she wrenched it open. The conference room door swung wide before her, and the light from the corridor flooded into her eyes. She strode out confidently.

Tap tap tap tap....

In the hallway, she listened to the sound of her own footsteps, so resolute, so unwilling to yield, so unwavering.

Walking out of the long corridor, she raised her head and the people she had brought with her stood up excitedly from their chairs the moment they saw her.

Seven pairs of eyes, each brimming with anticipation.

"Jian, Jian Zong... how, how are you" A person looked at her carefully and expectantly.

Jian Tong's heart felt as if something had hit it hard.

He slammed his eyes shut, the hand hanging at his side clenching into a fist, nails digging deep into his palm.

"General Jian... no, isn't it possible" A trace of disappointment hung in the speaker's tone.

Jian Tong's breath caught in her throat, she gritted her teeth hard. Even without opening her eyes, she could sense the disappointment in their gazes.

They... they were brought here by Jian Tong!

It was Jian Tong who brought these people here, and it was Jian Tong who asked them to work overtime for a whole week.

Suddenly!

The woman opened her eyes and rolled her ankle.

Silently, under the gaze of these people, he walked back, towards the conference room.

The door before her had closed with her previous movement. Standing in front of the tightly shut conference room door, Jian Tong let out a mouthful of foul air and reached out to push it open:

"Mr. Caine, do you still welcome me"

Her face was expressionless, but in her heart, there was a sharp knife, cutting herself piece by piece.

In the conference room, a fleeting surprise flashed across Kane's handsome face... He thought she had left, and that was it.

Immediately, a smile curved her thin lips: "Welcome."

Jian Tong took a step inside, but felt that each footstep was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Then, can we talk about the terms of our cooperation" she didn't want to beat around the bush, and got straight to the point.

For Caine Feloche, those things in his memory would eventually be completely lost with the passage of time.

"Good." The man by the floor-to-ceiling window smiled warmly and cheerfully replied.

It's enough... that you can come back.

Jian Tong deftly opened the folder in her hand and sat down to discuss this collaboration with Kane.

She explained very well and was very serious.

In matters of work, she put all personal affairs aside.

Having left such a mess behind, she still wanted to hold on, not for any other reason, but simply because...

She didn't notice it herself, but as she was explaining, the man beside her watched her intently, his eyes never leaving her face. He paid attention to every little movement she made.

Whether it's a furrowed brow or a lighthearted explanation.

It seemed that just watching her work could immerse him, bringing a sense of lighthearted joy.

Gently, she placed the file in her hand on the table and looked up at the person beside her: "Mr. Kane, you saw it too."

This cooperation is mutually beneficial for both parties.

And I, want Mr. Kane to understand that,

Our Jian family is very sincere this time and wants to cooperate with your company to develop new projects.

"I have seen Jian's sincerity."

"Mr. Cain is also very willing to reach this win-win cooperation on both sides, isn't he"

"Natural." Caine's handsome face gazed at her, his eyes soft enough to overflow with water: "But I have a condition."

"Mr. Kane, please speak." Jian Tong made a gesture of invitation.

"I am willing to make this collaboration happen, but if the project doesn't perform to my satisfaction down the line, I will withdraw my investment."

"The Jian Shi Hui will make every effort to send the most outstanding elites..."

"No," Kane said, wagging his finger with determination in his eyes, "I will personally oversee this project. The candidate tracking the project for Jian Shi can only be Mr. Jian himself." welcome dinner for you today. Let's go, go, go.""I'm not going!" Jian Tong gritted her teeth, refusing to go with Wei Sishan and the others."How can this be, how can you not go This is a welcome banq...
