19 – Hе’s Jеаlоus
Sinсе Мo Tingуаn wаs tеmрorarily раrtnered with thе team lеd bу Suреrvisоr Хue, Wеn Zhi hаd nо chоicе but to fly оn thе samе flights as Мо Тingyаn fоr a lоng timе tо соmе.
Тo аvoid drаwing аttention, Wen Zhi delibеratеly wаlkеd sерaratеly from Мо Тingуan.
In thе aftеrnoon, аs Wеn Zhi еntеrеd the сompanу lоbbу, shе immеdiately nоtiсеd a bright rеd impоrtant notiсе роsted on thе bullеtin board.
Shе quickly wеnt оvеr tо takе а look. When she saw the news thаt Mаnаgеr Наo hаd been dismissed, shе was mоmentаrily stunnеd.
Yesterday, when she and Mo Tingyan went to see the CEO, they only mentioned protecting Mo Tingyan’s job and didn’t say anything about taking down that old pervert.
This was truly… an unexpected gain.
In high spirits, Wen Zhi went upstairs. The pre-flight briefing hadn’t started yet, so she took advantage of the empty hallway and knocked on the door of Mo Tingyan’s office.
Mo Tingyan had just finished reviewing the information for the upcoming flight. Seeing Wen Zhi, he set aside the documents, stood up, and walked over to embrace her. He raised his hand to gently stroke her face, his expression deliberately playful: “My Zhangzhu actually dares to come looking for me at the company. What a rare occurrence.”
Ignoring Mo Tingyan’s teasing, Wen Zhi said seriously, “You just came up from the underground parking lot, so you probably haven’t seen the new notice yet.”
“What notice?”
“Hao Xuguang has been fired,” Wen Zhi said with rare lightness in her tone. “I really didn’t expect the new CEO to be so reasonable. Not only did he protect your job, but he also removed such a huge tumor. He’s practically doing a public service.”
Seeing the glimmer of joy in Wen Zhi’s eyes as she spoke, Mo Tingyan lifted her and sat her on his desk. He ran his fingers through her hair, his movements intimate and his tone provocative: “This new CEO is both rich and reasonable. Does Zhangzhu think he’s better than me?”
Wen Zhi: “…”
Where did this strange competitive urge of his to compare himself to other men come from?
Seeing Wen Zhi remain silent, Mo Tingyan’s good mood soured by half. “You’re agreeing by default? You actually think another man is better than me? I’m hurt. I’ll punish my spiritually unfaithful wife right here. How about that?”
With that, he lowered his head and captured her lips.
Wen Zhi raised her hand to press against his chest, exasperated. “Alright, stop messing around. Calm down quickly. The pre-flight briefing is about to start.”
Afraid he might be overcome by lust, she quickly pushed him away, jumped off the desk, and left his office.
Mo Tingyan leaned against the edge of the desk, his expression cooling.
Calm down?
Last time he asked her who was better between him and Mo Tingjue, she chose him without hesitation. But this time, she didn’t answer.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt like tearing something apart.
Since that girl ran off, he’d deal with her tonight.
Casually picking up his phone, he found a number and dialed.
When the call connected, he spoke in a deep, displeased tone: “The Sheng Corporation contract—you have three days to secure it.”
The person on the other end: “???”
“Boss, Sheng Corporation is too tough to crack. Three days is impossible—”
“Too tough? You’re so capable, so reasonable. If you can’t even handle such a small matter, you might as well go pioneer in Africa.”
The person on the other end: “…”
He wanted to say more, but the line had already gone dead.
So, what kind of undeserved misfortune was this?During the pre-flight meeting, Wen Zhi flipped through today’s passenger list. Unexpectedly, the only first-class passenger today turned out to be Mo Tingjue.
When she saw those three characters, Wen Zhi’s expression visibly darkened.
Although she was assigned to work in the rear cabin today, she had a feeling that Mo Tingjue wouldn’t behave himself.
Sure enough, after boarding began, Mo Tingjue, as a VVIP entitled to priority boarding, made his first request to the flight supervisor: he specifically asked for Wen Zhi to serve in first class, insisting that he would only accept her service.
Supervisor Xue knew that Mo Tingjue was the female lead’s boyfriend. Although somewhat displeased, to avoid complaints, she had no choice but to temporarily transfer Wen Zhi to first class.
Wen Zhi approached Mo Tingjue, reciting the standard pleasantries about being happy to serve him, but her expression remained gloomy throughout.
Mo Tingjue, however, was visibly delighted at that moment. Lowering his voice, he said to Wen Zhi, “Xiao Zhi, you have no idea how much effort I put into getting your schedule. I—”
“Mr. Mo, is there anything you need?” Wen Zhi interrupted him, maintaining her professional demeanor.
Seeing Wen Zhi’s cold attitude toward him, Mo Tingjue felt somewhat hurt. He sensed that Wen Zhi had truly grown distant from him—she had no intention of reconciling. But he wasn’t going to give up.
Back then, to make his presence known to Wen Zhi, he had used the same method to obtain her schedule, following her on flights like a shadow.
He refused to believe that the same approach couldn’t win her over again.
Adopting a humble tone, he said, “Xiao Zhi, I don’t need anything. Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to quietly keep you company, really.”
Wen Zhi only heard one thing: he had no needs.
In that case, she simply nodded and turned back to the work area.
Just then, the cockpit door opened, and Mo Tingyan stepped out.
Seeing Wen Zhi in first class, he immediately understood what had happened—after all, he had also seen the passenger list before boarding.
He didn’t glance at Mo Tingjue but walked straight to Wen Zhi. Leaning close to her ear with a smile curling at the corner of his lips, he said, “I’d like a cup of coffee. Would our beautiful flight attendant Wen mind helping out?”
Wen Zhi glanced at his playful expression and felt a bit speechless. He was doing this on purpose.
“Of course, Captain Mo. I’ll bring it to you shortly.”
Mo Tingyan reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. “Thank you, our diligent flight attendant Wen. But… I remember you were assigned to the rear cabin today. Why are you working in the front now?”
Just as Wen Zhi was about to explain, Mo Tingjue, alarmed by Mo Tingyan’s intimate gesture toward Wen Zhi, immediately pressed the call button.
Since it was work hours, Wen Zhi naturally prioritized her duties. After glancing at Mo Tingyan, she turned and walked toward Mo Tingjue, nodding coolly. “Hello, Mr. Mo. Is there anything you need?”
Mo Tingjue stood up directly from his seat, positioning himself in front of Wen Zhi. With a concerned expression, he whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Xiao Zhi, I know I made mistakes, and you’re angry with me. But I still have to warn you—you need to stay away from my brother, understand?”
Wen Zhi ignored any topics unrelated to work and repeated, “Mr. Mo, how may I assist you?””Xiao Zhi,” Mo Tingjue said softly, yet with a hint of gravity in his tone, “please don’t be like this, okay? I’m doing this for your own good. My brother is not as simple as you imagine. The environment he grew up in is different from ours. His mother is…”
