Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 78 An Tong’s Colleagues

After calling Li Jing at noon, An Tong was distracted at work in the afternoon, propping her face with her hand, her eyes unfocused, her mind filled with thoughts of Li Jing.

"An Tong."

At this moment, a male colleague was pushed forward by a few people, with some unavoidable tension and embarrassment on his face.

Seeing An Tong look at him with confusion, the male colleague became even more nervous, glanced back at his friends who were constantly gesturing encouragement, took a deep breath, and finally mustered the courage to say, "It’s my birthday today, I plan to invite a few colleagues for dinner tonight, do you have time?"

Saying it all in one breath, the male colleague seemed to have accomplished a great task, exhaling in relief, his expression much more relaxed.

"It’s your birthday today?"

An Tong was somewhat surprised, then apologized, "But I have something to do this evening, I’m really sorry."

"It’s okay, it’s okay, I was just asking."

The male colleague’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment but immediately forced a smile, pretending nothing was wrong, and said with a touch of awkwardness, "Old Zhang just asked me to ask, it’s normal you have things to do, it was a bit abrupt of me."

After speaking, the male colleague had no other topics, stood awkwardly in front of An Tong, then simply turned and waved: "Uh... I won’t bother you anymore, I’ll head back to our office."

"Mm."

An Tong nodded, watched him walk away, feeling she was perhaps a bit too cold, suddenly called out, "Uh Wang Jun, wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jun quickly turned around, looked at An Tong with anticipation, and immediately asked, "An Tong, what’s the matter?"

Looking at his expectant face, An Tong smiled slightly: "I forgot to say, happy birthday to you."

Wang Jun was stunned, especially after seeing her smile at him for the first time, he immediately felt his heart melt, his ears turned red, he stammered a thank you, and quickly turned away.

Returning to his friends, Wang Jun briefly recounted their conversation, and his friends began to shoulder pat and chest punch him, speaking lively:

"Not bad, this is a big step forward, you have to treat us to a grand meal today!"

"An Tong wished you a happy birthday, which means she doesn’t dislike you, you still have a good chance, go for it!"

"I told you, it’s all about effort, although An Tong didn’t agree, you received her blessing, isn’t that great?"

Surrounded by friends, Li Jun recalled An Tong’s blessing, feeling his chances had greatly increased, excitedly declared:

"I’ll treat today, we’ll have a seafood feast!"

As the words fell, the friends cheered, lifting Wang Jun in the center, excitedly returning to their department.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman nearby looked back at the departing young men, shaking her head and clicking her tongue: "Those in the marketing department are too confident, actually dare to pursue you."

She turned to An Tong beside her, leaned in and said softly, "Xiaotong, I have a nephew who’s thinking about buying a house and settling in Shanghai, do you want to try, here’s his photo."

An Tong glanced at the phone handed over, showing a man with a receding hairline.

The man looked to be in his thirties, clearly a retouched photo, but still couldn’t hide his thin hair and greasy demeanor.

An Tong shook her head, somewhat apologetically saying, "I don’t want to be in a relationship right now..."

Detecting the refusal in her words, the middle-aged female colleague’s smile froze momentarily, then quickly waved her hand: "It’s okay, it’s freedom of love, two people have to like each other. I’m just asking for my nephew."

"Mm, I’m going to the bathroom."

An Tong nodded slightly apologetically, then got up and left.

Seeing this, the middle-aged female colleague immediately sent a voice message to her nephew, frowning: "I’ve asked for you, probably nothing will happen.

Even with such a retouched photo, she’s not interested, so don’t bother.

I’ve said, just honestly find a normal girl, Xiaotong has high standards, she’s not someone you can win over."

...

In the bathroom, An Tong looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat unfamiliar.

What’s happening today, her mind is full of Li Jing.

Introduced people don’t interest her at all, even if some have decent conditions.

Looking at her exquisite face in the mirror, she mused: An Tong, don’t you want to settle here?

If this goes on, how can you find a local to marry...

Feeling troubled, seeing a female colleague come out of the restroom, her expression slightly changed, immediately pretending to wash her hands and quietly returned to her seat.

Seeing that it was almost time to leave work, she opened WeChat and found Zhang Xinxin had posted a new moment.

"Twenty-six years old, youth is just right."

Below was her beautifully edited selfie, with the background showing the luxury goods Li Jing bought for her in Linshui last time.

This time, An Tong didn’t focus on the photo, but looked at the simple text, her eyes slightly quivering, pondering:

Twenty-six, yes, I’m only twenty-six, what am I anxious about...

Peers are enjoying the joys of youth, why am I thinking of marriage every day?

Won’t it be the same next year?

Why not enjoy this year, boldly pursue what I love, isn’t that richer life...

Thinking this, her conflicted mind stabilized somewhat, and for the first time, she liked Zhang Xinxin’s moment.

...

After work, An Tong normally turned off her computer, packed her things, and left the office building. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Seeing a sports car parked by the roadside, she knew it had nothing to do with her, just looked at it twice and headed towards the subway entrance.

Then the sports car started the engine and slowly followed.

Noticing the car in the corner of her eye, An Tong frowned slightly, thinking: It’s definitely not looking for me, better not pay attention, don’t embarrass myself.

Thinking this, An Tong quickened her pace, just as she was about to enter the subway entrance, the sports car honked several times, making her turn back in confusion.

Then she gradually widened her beautiful eyes, surprise and joy flashing in her eyes.

"I say Miss An, others are curious about the sports car, but you hurry faster, can’t even call you."

Li Jing’s head poked out from the car window, jokingly said: "Someone would think you’re hiding from me."

"Ah Li Jing, I didn’t know it was you."

An Tong was both surprised and embarrassed, quickly walked over and said: "Is this the sports car you bought? No wonder it looked familiar, I’ve seen it in Zhang Xinxin’s moments."

"I was going from the hotel to your place, just passing by your company, thinking if I could catch you, then I saw you coming out."

Li Jing explained, then smiled invitingly, "Miss An, get in the car."

Upon hearing this, An Tong’s face showed a trace of joy, looking at the luxury car, not hesitating, quickly got on.

Meanwhile, Wang Jun was happily surrounded by colleagues leaving the office building.

Noticing An Tong getting into a Maserati parked roadside, his expression changed, his mind went blank, his mood instantly sank from being hot to cold.

The praises and encouragement from colleagues around became particularly noisy to him.

And the middle-aged female colleague who came out behind them also noticed An Tong getting into the sports car, immediately surprised, took a photo and sent it to her nephew:

"I told you you have no chance, you didn’t believe, look at An Tong’s standards, can you give up now?"
