Chapter 55 Useless Effort

"The same for me? Do you mean that you don't need me to keep everything you've done to me a secret anymore?" Liu Xinlan said with a half-smile.

Jiang Chenfeng shivered, looked up at Liu Xinlan, and swallowed his saliva: "What do you mean? I haven't done anything to you, don't go around slandering me!"

"Really? You forgot so quickly? Do you want me to help you recall? In the conference room of our Liu Group, you forcefully pinned me against the wall, not only kissed my mouth, but also wanted to get handsy with me..."

"Stop, stop!"

Jiang Chenfeng was instantly drenched in sweat, cold sweat dripping all over his body, with a feeling of chills running down his spine.

Especially seeing the victor's smile on Liu Xinlan's face in front of him, it made his heart tremble with fear:

[What's going on? This woman seems to have grasped my Achilles' heel!]

[If Lin Tian finds out about these things, I'll be skinned alive today even if I don't die!]

[How does this stupid woman know my Achilles' heel? No wonder she was staring at me with ill intentions just now, so she was waiting for me here?]

Jiang Chenfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, trying to remain calm: "Those things were all accidents! Besides, only the two of us were in the conference room at that time. No third party saw what I did to you. Even if you say it, who would believe you?"

Liu Xinlan smiled and said: "Who would believe it? I think Lin Tian would believe it, right? After all, if he really wants to make a move, he only needs an excuse!"

[It's over! I've really been caught by this stupid woman. If Lin Tian finds out about this, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River!]

Jiang Chenfeng secretly groaned in his heart.

Just as Liu Xinlan said.

He had already offended Lin Tian, so even if Liu Xinlan was lying, Lin Tian only needed an excuse to act!

In other words, it doesn't matter whether what Liu Xinlan says is true or false; what matters is whether she can say it!

Once she says it, Lin Tian can take the opportunity to attack him.

A protagonist is not someone with a broad mind; they are all people who seek revenge for the slightest grievance and are selfish!

If they want to win people's hearts, they will appear very magnanimous.

But once it involves their own women, or the women they have taken a fancy to, they won't show any mercy at all.

For these protagonists in power-fantasy novels, even touching their woman's finger is an unforgivable sin!

Given the intimate contact between Jiang Chenfeng and Liu Xinlan in the Liu Group conference room, it is enough for Jiang Chenfeng to die ten thousand times.

Jiang Chenfeng knew that he couldn't continue to be tough, otherwise, if Liu Xinlan started talking nonsense, he would definitely die.

This woman has grasped his Achilles' heel, but she obviously doesn't know that this Achilles' heel is enough to cost him his life.

However, having said that.

If this Achilles' heel weren't life-threatening, he wouldn't be so tightly controlled by her.

Jiang Chenfeng took a deep breath and said sternly: "Miss Liu, you simply don't understand why I want to fire Lan Xiaodie. If you understood my good intentions, I think you would agree with my actions!"

He intended to reason with her and appeal to her emotions!

Since the hard approach won't work, let's try the soft one!

Liu Xinlan was not an unreasonable person either, so she nodded and said: "Tell me! If what you say really makes sense, then I can agree with your actions."

Jiang Chenfeng breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pointed to Lan Xiaodie and Lin Tian, who were chatting not far away, and said: "Look at the two of them, they are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, a gifted scholar and a beautiful lady, with the man having affection and the woman having intention!"

"It's just that Lan Xiaodie has an introverted and shy personality and is not good at expressing her heart, so she has never dared to take the initiative to confess to Lin Tian! I am the one who understands Lan Xiaodie the best, knowing that she secretly admires Lin Tian, so I deliberately created an opportunity to help the two of them come together!"

"In the past, there were Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, in the West there were Romeo and Juliet, among ghosts there were Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, among demons there were Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, and now there are Lan Xiaodie and Lin Tian, they..."

Liu Xinlan raised her hand to interrupt, frowned and said: "What kind of mess is this? I understand Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and Romeo and Juliet, but what is this about ghosts and demons, isn't that a bit too outrageous?"

"Actually, my meaning is very simple. I just intend to play matchmaker, to build a bridge for these two men and women who are mutually attracted and admire each other. In the future, they will even have to thank me!"

Jiang Chenfeng paused for a moment, looked at Liu Xinlan with burning eyes, and continued: "As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a single marriage! Now that the two of them are about to get together, it's just a matter of me letting go, do you really want to stop me from firing Lan Xiaodie?"

"Hmm..."

Liu Xinlan touched her fair chin with her right hand, showing a thoughtful look.

After she thought about it, she still shook her head and said: "Even if you say so, I still don't agree with you firing Lan Xiaodie!"

"Why? Why?" Jiang Chenfeng was stunned.

He was a little frantic and couldn't understand it at all.

Why does this stupid woman have to go against him?

"First!"

Liu Xinlan said reasonably and clearly: "Whether Lan Xiaodie really admires Lin Tian is just your one-sided story. At the very least, you should ask Lan Xiaodie to determine whether what you said is true or false!"

"Secondly! You wouldn't be so kind. Don't think I don't know what you really want to do by keeping Lan Xiaodie by your side as your personal secretary! Others say a rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its burrow, but you are a rabbit that only eats the grass by its burrow!"

"For someone like you, would you really take the initiative to give Lan Xiaodie to another man? You even said you are a dandy, but I have really never seen any dandy who would act like you."

"Since you have done this, it means you must be brewing some bad intentions and must have other motives! Even if it's for justice, I won't let you get your way!"

[For justice? You're doing this for justice, you're going to kill me!]

[You can uphold justice for Little Sheep, but who will uphold justice for me?]

[No! I seem to be the Villain, right? In any novel or movie, I am the one being executed by justice, so what this stupid woman is doing now is indeed in line with the character setting.]

Jiang Chenfeng was directly dumbfounded.

So all his efforts were in vain?

From the very beginning, it was impossible for him to achieve his goal!

Liu Xinlan couldn't be bothered to continue dealing with Jiang Chenfeng, turned around and walked towards Lin Tian, saying: "Lin Tian, there is something I want to tell you. Jiang Chenfeng, in the conference room, did to me..."

"Let's discuss! Everything can be discussed!"

Jiang Chenfeng was scared out of his wits, hurriedly pulled Liu Xinlan back, and said with a pale face: "Please don't say anything about that matter! As long as you don't say it, I will agree to anything!"

"Then about the firing..."
