Chapter 971: Chapter 971: In Love Chapter 971: Chapter 971: In Love “Sure!” Jingheng smiled happily with his lips curled up. As soon as the assistant who had just knocked and entered saw his smile, his eyes lit up, and the spirit of gossip within him instantly ignited.


    After Jingheng hung up the phone, the assistant immediately stepped forward to ask, “Director, are you seeing someone?”


    Jingheng slowly looked up, his dark eyes unreadable. “So what?”


    The assistant was startled and took a moment to understand his meaning.


    He is in a relationship, so what?


    The assistant was very happy. “Director, you really are in love! Who’s the insightful one who discovered you, this hidden gem?”


    Jingheng: “…”


    How should he interpret this comment, as a compliment or a critique?


    “Director, who is the future Mrs. Director?” the assistant asked dumbly, both ingratiating and curious.


    Jingheng wanted to reveal Hai Lan’s identity, but unfortunately, Hai Lan said not to.


    “Who it is, what does it have to do with you? Tell me, what do you need?” Jingheng asked indifferently, and knowing from his response, the assistant realized he wouldn’t disclose any further.


    But that didn’t matter, knowing the Director was in love was enough!


    Having that piece of information was sufficient!


    So after handling business, the assistant immediately found a secluded corner to secretly make a phone call to leak the news.


    “Old lady, I have to tell you, the Director is in love!”


    “Really?! Xiaoming, don’t fool me. Lying about military intelligence is punishable!”


    “How dare I deceive you, it’s true. I asked the Director, and he didn’t contradict.”


    “That’s great, this lad finally got someone! Hurry up and tell me, which girl took pity and accepted him? I’ll send a gift right away!”


    “The Director didn’t say who it is, but I have a rough idea although I can’t be certain. Old lady, I’ll confirm and tell you.”


    “Good, good, good! Make sure you tell me soon, don’t make me wait too long.”


    “Yes, I will. Old lady, since I provided such important information, is there a reward? How about 20 pounds of beef jerky?”


    “Xiaoming, you can’t be too greedy. 20 pounds is too much, 5 pounds!”


    “Old lady, why are you so stingy, at least 15 pounds!”


    “This is exclusive beef jerky, you know. The old men and women in this courtyard need to give gifts just to get a pound. 10 pounds is the lowest!”


    “Okay, deal!”


    “Let me know sooner who the girl is, and I’ll send you 2 extra pounds then.”


    “Make it 5 pounds.”


    “3 pounds is the lowest!”


    “Fine, a total of 13 pounds, deal!”


    “13 pounds of what?” a slow voice suddenly sounded behind Xiaoming.


    Xiaoming stiffened all over, and turning around, he saw the Director with a seemingly amused expression, which made Xiaoming awkwardly smile.


    Meanwhile, the old lady on the phone, vaguely hearing his voice, had already hung up quickly.


    As for Xiaoming, naturally, he confessed everything.


    It turned out he had long been bought over by the old lady’s beef jerky.

    As long as he provided the so-called military intelligence, which was information about Jingheng’s love life, he would receive beef jerky as a reward.


    When Jingheng found out, he said nothing. But later, when Xiaoming received the 13 pounds of beef jerky, he ungraciously took 7 pounds to give to Hai Lan…


    Betraying his future wife’s intel for beef jerky naturally required surrendering half, right?


    Since that time, Xiaoming knew that his boss was stingy.


    Anything he fancied was destined to be commandeered for his wife, and it was impossible for others to get anything from him.
