Chapter 19: Chapter 019: Two People Who Don’t Follow the Rules

Seeing Bao Nan frozen on the spot, Jiang Tong thought she had scared him.

She awkwardly cleared her throat a few times, "Sorry, I got a bit excited earlier. Did I scare you?"

After years of rough and tumble, dealing with someone like Bao Nan, a classic tough guy.

It’s quicker to use softness.

Actually, being brainwashed by the political department every day isn’t so bad.

Using every means to maximize one’s own benefits, dedicating one’s life to the country.

Without lines, Bao Nan didn’t know what to say next.

He squinted slightly, his tone calm, "No, it’s fine."

Seeing that he didn’t seem to react, Jiang Tong could only continue awkwardly smiling, "Since that’s the case, could you take a look at this report letter..."

For her five years of bonuses.

Jiang Tong decided to go all out, blinking her eyes pitifully, "Brother Bo, look at me, I have elders above and children below.

I can only bitterly rely on this stable government job, with only a meager salary every month, barely enough to fill my stomach.

You don’t know how important this year’s bonus is to me! Whether I end up on the streets or live in a warm place depends on this bonus.

Please pity the child, withdraw the report letter, so the child can have a bright future, alright."

After her spiel, even Gu Qize felt like crying.

Not to mention Bao Nan, whose IQ and EQ drop into negative numbers at the sight of Jiang Tong.

Gu Qize, lying near the threshold, tearfully prayed to the heavens.

Brother, you have to hold on!

You absolutely mustn’t fall for Jiang Tong’s beauty trap and distress act!

You must stick to the script!

The girl’s soft voice reached Bao Nan’s ears, her watery peach blossom eyes looking at him full of hope.

Bao Nan suddenly felt a dryness in his throat, pressing down his voice, rasping, "Okay."

No way around it.

In this world, he can refuse anyone and anything.

Except for one person.

That is, Jiang Tong.

His single word of agreement made Gu Qize collapse completely.

Oh my heavens!

Why aren’t these two following the plan!

Is this destined to ruin him?

Meanwhile, Jiang Tong blinked in confusion.

Can’t be?

So agreeable?

Then what’s the point of reporting her?

Forcing herself to steady her emotions, Jiang Tong squeezed out a reluctant smile, "That’s good."

After saying that, she felt something was off, so she politely added, "In that case, to express my apology, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

She really was just asking politely, he probably won’t agree, right?

Being invited to dinner by the goddess so suddenly, Bao Nan was quite glad he hadn’t followed Gu Qize’s script.

His cold eyes flickered slightly, his thin lips curled into an imperceptible smile, his tone also becoming gentle, "Okay."

Jiang Tong didn’t expect him to agree just like that, isn’t that awkward?

Ah well, whatever.

As long as she herself is not awkward, the awkward one would be Bao Nan.

Thinking this, she nodded in relief, took out her phone, "Um, let me add you on WeChat first. Looks like we’re both free tonight, might as well seize the day. I’ll go change clothes first, and call you when I’m ready."

How could Bao Nan miss this opportunity to exchange WeChat contacts?

He pretended to be casual as he took out his phone and opened the WeChat QR code.

A few minutes later, he received a friend verification message.

A little Jiang Candy has verified your QR code request to add you as a friend.
