"Xiuyan, you've been checking your phone all the time. Is there anything important?" Tyler looked at Jessica sitting across the dining table and felt very puzzled. During the dinner, Jessica was not thinking online the whole time. She only knew what was going on.
While using the phone, I would frown and feel silly at other times.
"Nothing, by the way, do you have anything to discuss with me today?" Jessica put down her phone and replied calmly.
"It's like this. I heard Mr. Wu say that your meeting was not very pleasant. Is there something wrong with their work?" Tyler had tolerated Jessica for a long time, and now he finally decided to go straight to the topic of inviting her out for dinner today.
.
"Unpleasant? No, I just said...Pfft..." Jessica casually responded to Tyler's question, but when she saw a photo that had just been sent flashed up on her phone, the iceberg queen immediately laughed on the spot.
came out.
This scene almost made Tyler furious. Jessica didn't know what was going on recently, but she suddenly had a lot of new ideas in the company. She had obviously always obeyed his words before.
"Xiuyan, do you have any objections to me? Recently, I always feel that you are a little strange. Could it be that you have listened to other people's rumors?" Tyler suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Jessica angrily.
road.
Jessica was originally in a happy mood after looking at the photos sent by Zhou Jing on her phone, but Tyler's words immediately turned her face cold.
She had heard such insinuations from him a lot recently, which made Jessica feel increasingly impatient.
"Tyler, I don't have any objections to you. It should be said that our cooperation so far has been quite smooth, but..." Jessica crossed her arms and sat back on the chair, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"You are not omnipotent. Maybe you are good at market development and financing, but that doesn't mean you can do everything. There are some things you...are not professional in. Do you understand what I say?"
"Unprofessional? Xiuyan, where do you start with this? I don't understand what you mean." Tyler's heart tightened, and he felt an unpleasant feeling.
Jessica did not answer in a hurry, but picked up her phone to check if there were any new messages. By the way, she looked again at the photos that Zhou Jing, Crystal and the others took on the beach.
Especially in the awkward photo of him and Amber, the gesture of comparing their fingers to their hearts was so inconsistent. Jessica couldn't help but smile sweetly again. This shy look directly made Tyler's eyes look straight.
After a moment, Jessica put down the phone, and her expression immediately turned grim again, as if the spring-breathing smile just now had never appeared before.
"Tyler, do you know? I won't go into other details. Your biggest unprofessionalism is whether you want to cooperate with me in business or develop a personal relationship. It just so happens that I want to discuss it with you today."
"No, Xiuyan, is there any conflict? I am sincere to you." Jessica's question immediately made Tyler lose his composure.
"Stop, this is not a question of whether you are sincere or not, but in my opinion, you can't do good things if your career and emotions are entangled together, because many times emotions will affect rational judgment. I don't want this to happen in the future.
Situation." Jessica said her thoughts coldly.
At the same time, her mind recalled the scene at the roadside stall in Shanghai that night, when Zhou Jing said these words to her in a serious voice while drinking beer.
"Xiuyan, why do you think so? This is completely..." Tyler was eager to explain, but was interrupted by Jessica waving her hand.
"So Tyler, I give you two options. One is that we maintain a cooperative relationship but there is no need to mention other things. The other is that I allow you to pursue me, but you must quit B&E. How about one of the two options."
"Exit B&E? Xiuyan, I was in charge of the early financing and laying out the business. If I quit, can you take over?" Tyler also had a cold face at this moment, with a hint of threat in his tone.
"Can I leave you alone next time? Before you make a choice, I think our cooperation can be slowed down for the time being." Jessica responded lightly with a smile.
It's not that Jessica is asking for help. She has thought about this matter for a long time since she came back from the magic city. Some relationships really need to be straightened out, and of course Tyler needs to be dealt with as well.
What's more, she is about to have a mentor, a visiting professor at Yonsei University School of Business and a director of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group. With such a teacher, Tyler's so-called connections and investments are not a problem at all.
Any student recommended by Director Quan can take over the entire operation of B&E, and compared to Tyler, the ambitions of these people are at least not so obvious.
And as Zhou Jing said, her pace is indeed too big now. Originally, Jessica wanted to follow Zhou Jing's advice, slow down her pace, and hide her strength and bide her time.
After all, Jessica is still an emotional person. No matter what her thoughts were in the early stage, Tyler did contribute to the little division, so she still gave him a chance to choose, otherwise she could just kick him.
Kicked out.
Tyler was familiar with Jessica's character. Seeing Jessica's look and attitude, Tyler knew that she had already made up her mind and there was no way she could pass the test vaguely today.
After just thinking for a moment, Tyler reached out to Jessica.
"Director Zheng, it will be a pleasure to cooperate with you in the future."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Representative Quan. I hope you will do what you say." Jessica relaxed naturally when she saw Tyler made his choice.
At the same time, I also felt a sense of loss in my heart, not because Tyler gave up pursuing her, but because Zhou Jing had planned all this in advance. He concluded at that time that ambitious people like Tyler would never be able to make the choice between career and relationship.
Will not choose love.
She didn't quite believe it at the time, but it turned out that her vision of people was indeed not as good as Zhou Jing's. Tyler made the decision without hesitating for more than a cigarette.
"Xiu, um, Director Zheng..." Tyler originally wanted to call Jessica according to his previous habit, but when he saw her frown, he immediately realized and changed his name hurriedly.
"Mr. Wu wants to invite you to have a meal together. It's not considered a formal business banquet. Their family members happen to be in Seoul as well. It's considered a family gathering, don't you think?"
"Yes, I have no problem. It is also necessary to deepen the relationship with your partners. Just communicate with my assistant about the time." Jessica agreed after thinking about it for a while.
"No problem. I have already confirmed the time with your assistant before. I will come to pick you up when the time comes." Seeing that Jessica did not refuse, Tyler breathed a sigh of relief.
Jessica picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth noncommittally, then stood up and prepared to leave first. Before leaving, she said something meaningful to Tyler.
"There's no need to pick me up. Since it's a family gathering, I don't think it's convenient for you to attend. Someone will go with me then, so that's it."
After saying that, Jessica walked towards the door of the restaurant without looking back. Tyler watched Jessica's leaving figure eagerly for a long time without coming back to his senses.
