Chapter 1339: Chapter 1338: Demonstration Chapter 1339: Chapter 1338: Demonstration Lin Lin felt as though she had been harshly slapped in the face. So the CEO had even mentioned such a matter to her, then weren’t all her actions rather ridiculous?

Her face immediately flushed red.

Had the CEO’s wife guessed her thoughts too?

From her outfit, was she specifically here to show off? To demonstrate her power to Lin Lin?

However, Lin Lin wasn’t an easy target either, so she said with a smile, “Oh, it’s mine. I was wondering where I had lost it. I asked Mr. Zhou before, and he even helped me look for it but didn’t see it. It turns out you were the one who found it. What a coincidence.”

Lin Lin pretended to be very familiar with Zhou Shengting, as she wanted Bai Lan to think that her relationship with Mr. Zhou was not simply that of ordinary colleagues.

Bai Lan wasn’t angry. To be honest, she had been very upset when she found the earring, but only at that moment. In the past few days, her mood had settled down.

What angered her was Zhou Shengting’s deception. How could he deceive her like this?

Did he really think she would be angry if he said he was entertaining a female secretary? What kind of person did he take her for?

“Yes, it’s good that they are yours. I’ve returned them to you. Things that aren’t mine, I don’t covet, even if they are very nice,” Bai Lan said as she handed the earring back, her words pregnant with meaning.

Lin Lin was smart and immediately understood what she meant. Her face suddenly turned from red to pale.

But it was just a moment before she regained her composure.

Lin Lin took the earrings and clutched them tightly in her hand.

The earrings stabbed into her palm, but she was indifferent.

“Thank you, I will cherish them from now on. However, I have to disagree with you. Everyone wants good things, and being able to get them is also a talent, isn’t it? Isn’t today’s society all about using one’s own abilities?” Lin Lin’s tone was somewhat arrogant, making it hard for others not to feel annoyed.

Bai Lan simply smiled faintly and said nothing. Was she still a bit too young, speaking so frankly?

It was true; what could be taken away wasn’t real love.

“Yes, you make sense. However, nowadays people lack shame; they still long for things that aren’t theirs,” Bai Lan said pointedly, not mincing words.

Lin Lin pursed her lips and flashed a mocking smile. Who was she insulting?

Regardless of what was said about her, Lin Lin didn’t care. She would definitely go all out for what she wanted.

“The same words apply: it’s all about ability,” Lin Lin spoke with an air of arrogance.

“I wish you good luck then,” Bai Lan replied with a smile and then turned towards the CEO’s Office.

Lin Lin watched her back, wishing she could bore holes through it with her gaze.

Yes, Lin Lin envied her because she was Madam Zhou, who could stride into the CEO’s Office with her head held high.

No need to report, no need to make an appointment, because her status was legitimate.

Although Lin Lin had appeared quite haughty just now, in fact, it was all an act.

She just couldn’t swallow her pride, which was why she had spoken so arrogantly.

But thinking about it now, it seemed laughable. After all, Mr. Zhou hadn’t given her any response.

What right did she have to argue with someone else at this point?

The more Lin Lin thought about it, the more suffocated she felt, and she stormed back to her seat in a huff.

The recent little interlude was over; best not to think about it anymore, in case her colleagues found out and subjected her to their scorn and ridicule.
