Stealing Your Heart Chapter 706
Gu Huiyuan reacted with incredulity that Guan Jing was willing to forsake his own career and
reputation. She had previously thought that he was only acting on impulse.
“Stop being so obstinate, Guan Jing! Don’t you think that I wouldn’t dare!”
Guan Jing scoffed, “Why can’t I be, seeing how you have pushed me to the brink? I can only be
obstinate in order to defend thisst shred of honor I’m left with.”
“You…”
Gu Huiyuan was flustered.
“I neither want to see you nor speak to you. Go on and do as you wish, and don’t ever call me again!”
With that, Guan Jing ended the call. He thought it inadequate as he fumed, so he proceeded to turn his
phone off. Guan Jing breathed heavily as he muttered to himself, “Damn this rich girl! Despicable!”
Zong Jinghao asked calmly, “Who was it that pissed you off?”
When Guan Jing saw Zong Jinghao at his door, he froze.
“Zong… Mr. Zong, when did you get here?” Guan Jing stammered.
Zong Jinghao loosened the tie around his neck and pulled up the chair across the table from Guan
Jing. “Not that long ago. I didn’t overhear too much.”
Guan Jing brought himself closer to Zong Jinghao. “I’ve broken up with my girlfriend…”
“Since when have you got a girlfriend?” Zong Jinghao asked in astonishment.
“We haven’t been together that long.” Guan Jing was reluctant to discuss this. He felt embarrassed for
a grown man like himself to be the target of sextortion. If word were to spread, he would not be
able to look anyone in the eye again.
“Mr. Zong.” Guan Jing recollected himself and put on a solemn face as he ced his resignation letter
on the desk before Zong Jinghao. “Thank you for cing your trust in me and giving me so many
opportunities. I wish to take a break…”
“Are you headhunted?” Zong Jinghao took one nce at the letter but left it where it was.
“No. Really, I just wish to take a hiatus…”
“But you told me that you only wish to make more money?” Zong Jinghao scrutinized Guan Jing in a
way that made him feel ufortable. Guan Jing tried to avoid eye contact. “There’s no one. I just
want to rest.”

“I’ve heard that the Fuyuan Group has promised you the position of vice president?” Zong Jinghao
probed as he swiveled his chair to face Guan Jing.
Men of talent would naturally be poached.
“That was several months ago. How did you know?” It was true that such an offer was extended to him
but Guan Jing was never tempted. He understood where his own futurey.
Guan Jing then chuckled at himself, “I think I’ve just asked a silly question.”
If Zong Jinghao did not know that his subordinate was being poached, he might as well stop being the
boss.
Wanyue Group would not havee so far as it did if Zong Jinghao could not keep tabs on such
things.
Zong Jinghao decided to cut to the chase. “Just tell me your real reasons. If you have some thoughts
about me, feel free to bring them up.”
Guan Jing shook his head vigorously. There was nothing he couldin about in terms of his
treatment at thepany.
“Truly, my reasons are personal. I’m really sorry for the trouble I’ve caused, Mr. Zong.”
Zong Jinghao narrowed his eyes. “How long have you been following me, Guan Jing?”
Guan Jing’s reply was prompt. “Eight years.”
Zong Jinghao got to his feet. “Come back to me after you’ve thought this through carefully.”
Zong Jinghao then walked out, leaving Guan Jing stranded. Guan Jing felt deeply ashamed of himself
for the problems he has created through his own carelessness.
What he had not counted on was Gu Huiyuan trying to instrumentalize him.
After Zong Jinghao left Guan Jing, he did not leave the building but went straight into his own office.
It was clear to him that Guan Jing was hiding something from him.
This was cause for vexation for Zong Jinghao. With his hands full dealing with Lin Xinyan’s situation, he
just had no time to dabble in work matters. Guan Jing’s resignation could not havee at a worse
possible moment.
