Chapter 1858: Chapter 685: Two Women, One Stage! (Extra Long Chapter)

Seeing that Sophia had agreed, He Jieyu immediately stepped forward and took her arm. "Sophia sis, no wonder you managed to win over our boss. Your personality is just too great. Boss, you really hit the jackpot!"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged. "It’s also because your boss is tall, handsome, and oozing talent, that he could possibly catch your Sophia sis’s eye, okay?"

He Jieyu gave a small eye-roll. "Sophia sis, please don’t mind him. Our boss has always been this full of himself. You’ll get used to it slowly."

Zhang Jingdong curled his lip. "Alright, seeing as you’ve had a long, tiring journey, I’ll let that slide. So, are you guys hungry? Shall we go eat first?"

He Jieyu immediately nodded. "Yeah! I didn’t even have lunch, I’m starving to death! Let’s go have authentic Italian. Across all of Europe, apart from Chinese food, only Italian is still decent."

"Okay, then let’s go to that Italian restaurant your Sophia sis recommended to me last time."

The three of them then walked to the roadside, and He Jieyu pulled Sophia into the back seat.

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the rearview mirror and, in his heart, rolled his eyes at He Jieyu, then started the car again and quickly disappeared into the traffic.

Halfway there, He Jieyu started probing Sophia in all sorts of roundabout ways.

"Sophia sis, how did you and our boss meet?"

Sophia turned her head to look at Zhang Jingdong, then answered honestly, "We met on the flight from Jiangdu to Milan."

"So you were in Jiangdu before too?"

Sophia nodded. "That’s right."

"Did you go to Jiangdu for travel, or something else?"

"I was teaching at a fashion design institute."

Understanding suddenly dawned on He Jieyu. "Ah, so that’s how it is. Then your fate with our boss really runs deep!"

"When did you first go to Huaxia?"

"The first time I went to Huaxia was seven years ago. I’ve been teaching there for three years now."

Just then, something occurred to He Jieyu. "Oh right, you teach fashion design, so you know our company also has a clothing design company, right?"

"I know, I’d heard about it before. It was only after I got to know your boss that I realized he was the one who founded that company."

He Jieyu followed up smoothly, "You’re from Milan, and you teach fashion design, while our clothing design company’s future goal is to become the first fashion brand to go global. So I think you should come work at our company."

As she said this, she turned to look at Zhang Jingdong. "Boss, what do you think?"

Zhang Jingdong teased, "Of course I wouldn’t let top talent like Teacher Sophia slip away. I’ve already extended an invitation to her, and she’s already agreed to seriously consider it."

He Jieyu pouted. "As expected of you!"

Then she turned back to Sophia. "Sophia sis, I don’t think you need to consider it anymore. Joining our company will definitely be the best choice for you."

"First, you’re a designer, so at our company you can fully unleash your talents."

"Second, it’s convenient for you to keep an eye on our boss. Just think about it: our boss is young, rich, and this good-looking. So many beautiful female employees in our company are eyeing him. If you don’t keep a tighter watch, who knows, one day he might just get snatched away by someone..."

"Of course, you’re so outstanding that our boss definitely wouldn’t dare mess around easily. I’m just saying, better safe than sorry..."

Sophia said meaningfully, "Jieyu, do you like your boss?"

He Jieyu was stunned for a few seconds, taking four or five seconds to recover.

She let out an awkward laugh. "I... of course I like our boss too. It’s just that our boss doesn’t like me, that’s all."

She knew that if she said she didn’t like Zhang Jingdong, Sophia definitely wouldn’t believe her.

Sophia had originally thought He Jieyu wouldn’t dare admit it, and hadn’t expected her to just say it outright.

She paused, then asked, "So have you confessed to your boss?"

He Jieyu shook her head immediately. "No... How would I dare? Our company doesn’t allow office romances, unless it’s at the leadership level. I’m not qualified yet."

Sophia then looked over at Zhang Jingdong. "Boss Zhang, what position did you promise me before?"

Zhang Jingdong replied offhand, "Director of DL Clothing Design Company."

"Does that position count as leadership level?"

"Of course!"

"Alright then, I’ll officially accept your offer now."

Zhang Jingdong was instantly delighted. "Great, welcome aboard!"

He Jieyu blinked her beautiful eyes. "Boss, did I just earn another merit?"

"That’s right, chalk up a big one for you!"

He Jieyu immediately took Sophia’s hand again. "Sis, thank you!"

Sophia said with quiet emotion, "I should be thanking you for the reminder too."

The two of them chatted happily for quite a while, and at that moment, Zhang Jingdong pulled up in front of Romo Restaurant.

The three got out of the car and went into the restaurant.

It was right at dinner time, and the spacious restaurant was almost full, with only three or four empty tables left.

The moment the three of them stepped in, they instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Can’t be helped—Sophia was a total knockout for every European man there, while He Jieyu was a total knockout for every Asian man present.

And as the only man beside these two stunning beauties, Zhang Jingdong instantly became the guy every man in the place envied.

But they were all long used to these kinds of looks, and with perfectly calm expressions, they casually picked a table.

This time, Sophia ordered the dishes again.

Once all the food had arrived, they started eating and chatting.

After tasting the grilled fish and steak, He Jieyu immediately praised, "Mm! Worthy of being Italian cuisine. Among all the European restaurants I’ve tried, their flavors definitely rank in the top five!"
