Chapter 92: A Man of His Word

Zhou Jingyun judged that the man was not Jiang Tong’s lover based on the “Are you comfortable” line that he had heard on the phone. He was the type of man who served people.
Jiang Tong laughed, and it was the kind of laughter that could not be controlled. “Haha, You’re too funny. Don’t tell me you’re really jealous?”
“I’m afraid you’ll ruin my reputation!” Zhou Jingyun rolled his eyes and decisively changed the topic. “You know Jiao Qinglong?”
“We’re friends,” Jiang Tong answered.
“When did you meet him?” Zhou Jingyun asked again.
“Don’t you think you have too many questions?” Jiang Tong said with a smile, “In our line of work, you should understand that some things are secrets that can not be told.”
Zhou Jingyun shut his mouth expressionlessly. He knew it was useless to ask. Jiang Tong would not tell him.
“Come, apologize to me.” Jiang Tong pointed at the carpet in front of her and beckoned Zhou Jingyun with her finger. Of course, she promised that she had no intention of humiliating Zhou Jingyun. If you were willing to bet, then you had to be willing to accept defeat. How could it escalate to humiliation? However, she couldn’t deny that she really wanted to see Zhou Jingyun break the calm expression on his face and kneel down in front of her to apologize. Well… how should she put it? This was probably the vile feeling that everyone had in their bones.
Zhou Jingyun looked at Jiang Tong with a dark gaze. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t regret it. He did regret that he had raised the bet with Jiang Tong out of agitation! He wasn’t afraid of losing money, but the idea of kneeling on the floor to apologize made him very uncomfortable. He had never thought that he would lose, so he agreed to Jiang Tong’s offer.
“Fifty million dollars,” Zhou Jingyun made a bid.
“I refuse,” Jiang Tong refused without thinking. She knew what Zhou Jingyun meant. He wanted to use fifty million to buy his way out of kneeling to apologize to her. If it were anyone else, they would definitely agree. However, Jiang Tong was different. She didn’t lack money. Although she didn’t have much money, she could get the money anytime she wanted.
“No negotiation?” Zhou Jingyun frowned.
“You want to go back on your word? Don’t keep your word? Fine. I can’t force you anyway,” Jiang Tong said and shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m not going back on my word. I’m negotiating with you. You’re the one that has the final say,” Zhou Jingyun said immediately.
“Oh, then there’s no need to negotiate,” Jiang Tong smiled, “Boss Zhou, tell me, if I were the one who lost the bet, would you allow me to change the terms? You, Zhou Jingyun, have always been a man of your word. For example, if you really lost the bet with Shao Ying, you would also submit and marry Shao Ying, right?”
Zhou Jingyun felt very uncomfortable. He had a headache whenever he thought of kneeling down to a woman as powerful as Jiang Tong. This would encourage this woman’s arrogance and make her even cockier. In fact, besides Jiang Tong’s overly arrogant personality, Zhou Jingyun had a good impression of her because Jiang Tong’s ability was too strong, so strong that it was beyond his imagination. He had never thought that there would be a woman like Jiang Tong, who was mysterious and powerful, and could intangibly attract people’s attention.
“One hundred million,” Zhou Jingyun said again.
“Don’t be like this. It makes it seem like I’m forcing you to kneel down,” Jiang Tong said with a smile, “Why don’t we forget about it? If you’re not willing to fulfill the bet, then I don’t need to force you. We’re in a cooperative relationship now. Don’t make things too tense. It’s not good.”
What Jiang Tong said made Zhou Jingyun feel that this matter couldn’t be resolved just like that. He owed such a big favor to Jiang Tong for this matter and if he even reneged on their bet… this was something Zhou Jingyun could not do.
“Why don’t you give me a condition? I really don’t want to kneel,” said Zhou Jingyun. If a man had gold under his knees which made him not want to kneel, then Zhou Jingyun had a treasury under his knees!
“Forget it.” Jiang Tong waved her hand. Her attitude was very clear. She didn’t have any other conditions. It was just this one condition. If Zhou Jingyun couldn’t do it, then forget it.
Zhou Jingyun supported his desk with both hands and slowly stood up. “I, Zhou Jingyun, am definitely not a person who doesn’t keep his word.” He looked at Jiang Tong and said seriously. Since Jiang Tong didn’t agree to change the condition, then he could only follow the terms of the bet!
“Please.” Jiang Tong stretched out her hand to signal.
Zhou Jingyun walked out from behind the boss’s desk. His actions were slow and leisurely. Jiang Tong understood that even a person who kept his word would have to go through an intense struggle in the face of such a situation. Just as Zhou Jingyun was getting closer and closer to Jiang Tong, his phone rang. Zhou Jingyun turned around to take a look and picked up the phone to answer the call.
Zhou Mingfei’s voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhou Mingfei asked, “Big Brother, has Sister-in-law arrived at your company?”
