Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1218: Take It... Or Not Take It?

Liang Zixuan laughed helplessly. "Zhelan, you might know about my plans for Zhao Kang because you understand my intentions based on the situation, but Zhao Kang doesn't know. He might still think that he became my assistant because of your appreciation for his skills, not because I asked you to transfer him here. So how can he think of anything else?"         

She paused for a moment before letting out an emotional sigh. "What people fear most is vanity. If a person's vanity is very heavy, there is a great chance that he'll end up suffering losses."     

Just like Wei Xiaoqing back then. If she hadn't been so arrogant, Liang Zixuan definitely wouldn't have been able to bring her down to such a state.     

Let's not talk about Hou Yingyi, but about the songs. Wei Xiaoqing was originally beautiful and had a talent for acting. If she hadn't stolen Liang Zixuan's songs, she'd definitely not have been pulled off the stage in the first place. Eventually, she was ousted from the entertainment industry.     

Zeng Zhelan nodded in understanding. "That's right. If everyone could be satisfied with what they have or gain benefits by relying on their own hands, there wouldn't be so much competition and envy in this world."     

Liang Zixuan smiled and said, "That's how I took advantage of Zhao Kang's extremely strong arrogance to exploit his weakness and lure him into my trap."     

Zeng Zhelan couldn't understand how she could have such a good relationship with Liang Zixuan. In front of Liang Zixuan, she never held back and always let go of her instincts.     

Therefore, at this moment, she didn't think about privacy at all, and asked straightforwardly, "Zixuan, does this mean you know Zhao Kang? Otherwise, how would you know that he's an arrogant person? Where did you meet him?"     

Liang Zixuan pursed her lips and her expression turned a little ugly.     

It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but...     

Apart from her, not many people know about this.     

Furthermore, Zhao Kang was like a turtle in a jar now. How could she tell the others about it before she caught the turtle?     

"Zhelan..." Liang Zixuan got a headache from Zeng Zhelan's straightforward nature. "There are things I can tell you, but there are also things I can't. Please don't ask, just help me do them first!"     

Zeng Zhelan pouted, feeling wronged. "Zixuan, you're becoming more and more secretive. You've started keeping secrets from me."     

Liang Zixuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she covered her face. "If it's my problem, I'll definitely tell you everything I know. But this matter involves other people's privacy, I really can't tell you."     

Zeng Zhelan wasn't the kind of person who didn't know when to back off. If Liang Zixuan didn't want to say it, she wouldn't force her.     

She pursed her lips and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Regarding this matter, Liang Zixuan considered her an outsider. Nevertheless, she wasn't a petty person. Finally, she laughed wickedly. "Well, if you don't want to say it, then don't. When this matter is settled, I'll go find President Han and ask him to give me a year-end bonus!"     

"Why do you need to find him?" Liang Zixuan angrily grabbed the folder on her table and threw it at Zeng Zhelan. "Tell me how much you want to add for the year-end bonus. No matter how much you want to add, I'll give it to you!"     

"Aiyo..." Zeng Zhelan quickly reached for the folder. "President Liang, are you really that generous? If so, then I'll say it first. Next year, Yao Xiu and I've decided to get married, but it's too expensive to hold a wedding outside. So I'd like to borrow your villa for the wedding and have my relatives and friends come over to see the world."     

"I thought it would be a big thing." Liang Zixuan raised her hand and slammed it generously on the table. "I agree with that! When the time comes, you can tell me. I guarantee your wedding there will be more lively than at any other hotel!"     

"Then, it's decided!" Zeng Zhelan put the folder back on the table and chuckled. "President Liang, since you're so generous, I hope you'll not charge me for the cost of the wedding later."     

Liang Zixuan never talked about money with Zeng Zhelan. Since she had promised to do so, she would definitely not take her money.     

"That's enough. Go watch Zhao Kang. Remember, don't stop him no matter what he does."     

"I know." Zeng Zhelan swaggered to the door but suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked at Liang Zixuan. "This trick of yours. I reckon that child will not even know how he died later on!"     

At this time, Zhao Kang was still sitting in the conference room, looking at so much cash.     

For a poor person like him who owed a lot of money, ten million was not a small amount.         

The longer he looked at the money, the more itching he felt.     

"Take it... Or not take it?"     

Zhao Kang had touched the money more than once. He really felt that there was nothing better in this world than the red note.     

Faced with this great temptation, Zhao Kang finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, walked to the door, and looked outside.     

At this time, it was still working hours. Not only were there many people sitting outside, but some were also walking back and forth. It was just a fantasy for him to take that much money.     

Zhao Kang watched for a moment and finally sat back gloomily.     

Damn it, whether he could take it or not, this kind of suffering was even more unbearable than being roasted in the fire!     

He wondered if he should wait until everyone got off work before stealing the money secretly.     

With this thought, Zhao Kang secretly decided to wait until after work to observe the situation.     

At 6:00 p.m., the company officially went out of business.     

The people in the office left one by one. Zhao Kang stood in front of the door and stared at the people for a moment. As he was thinking about his plan again, Zeng Zhelan suddenly approached him.     

Zhao Kang quickly ran back to his chair and sat down firmly again.     

Zeng Zhelan opened the door and saw him still sitting there as before. She smiled and said, "Zhao Kang, I'll have to trouble you to keep watching tonight. You must take care of this money. We need to use it the day after tomorrow."
