The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me Chapter 2287 - 2712: Ye Tianjing, Better to Have None Than Accept Mediocrity

Ye Tianjing found himself increasingly bothered by Zhao Xiao's overly persistent attention.

Her attentiveness bordered on excessive, yet she refrained from any explicit declarations or bold actions, leaving him uncertain how to address the situation.

"Morning, Brother Jing," Zhao Xiao greeted him as Ye Tianjing entered the office.

"Hey, you greet Brother Jing, but when we arrive, you don't greet us?" chimed in the girl next to Zhao Xiao.

This particular seat had belonged to Ye Ranran before she moved to a new office, leaving it empty until the new recruit, Lin Lin, arrived.

Though Lin Lin joined after Zhao Xiao, she possessed a vibrant and bold personality, unafraid to speak her mind, often inadvertently offending others.

However, her diligence, talent, and genuine nature convinced Ye Tianjing to keep her on board.

Being talkative wasn't an issue as long as it didn't jeopardize the company's interests; other minor matters could be overlooked.

"Nonsense, you arrived before me. If anyone should be doing the greeting, it's you greeting me," Ye Tianjing retorted.

Lin Lin pursed her lips, falling silent.

Unfazed, Zhao Xiao retrieved an apple and a carton of milk from the desk and approached Ye Tianjing as he took his seat.

"Brother Jing, this is for you."

"I've already eaten, thank you," Ye Tianjing politely declined.

He settled into the chair formerly occupied by Wang Lan.

Ye Ranran had suggested a separate office for him, but Ye Tianjing preferred to remain with the team for work efficiency.

With no other suitable offices nearby, creating a new one would have meant relocating to the adjacent floor.

Being separated would have introduced distance, negating the need for such an arrangement.

"This isn't part of breakfast," Zhao Xiao countered, having anticipated his response and seemingly indifferent to Ye Tianjing's cool demeanor.

Ye Tianjing glanced up, and Zhao Xiao instantly flashed a pleading smile.

"If you have some free time, I'd advise you to focus more on reviewing the script and offering constructive feedback. The script is still yours; don't let this opportunity pass you by."

"Alright, alright, I get it. It's not like I don't work. What's the big deal?" Zhao Xiao placed the apple and milk on his desk. "Make sure you drink it."

Returning to her seat, Lin Lin observed Ye Tianjing for a moment before leaning in to whisper conspiratorially when he wasn't looking, "Why are you trying so hard to please him?"

She had a good rapport with Ye Ranran, and logically, Ye Ranran should be the one to curry favor with, given her influential position.

Winning Ye Ranran's favor would undoubtedly unlock limitless career prospects.

She wondered if Zhao Xiao's actions were an attempt to leverage her relationship with Ye Tianjing, Ye Ranran's brother.

"It's not about pleasing him; I simply like him," Zhao Xiao confessed shyly.

Her statement carried an air of possessiveness.

She considered Ye Tianjing hers, having been the first to pursue him, and felt no one else should attempt to claim him.

"Okay, I understand, missy," Lin Lin replied, settling back into her seat.

While working, Zhao Xiao discreetly watched Ye Tianjing.

Suddenly, Ye Tianjing stood and walked towards her.

Zhao Xiao quickly straightened up, feigning diligence and focusing intently on her work.

"Is the design draft I requested ready? Please send it to my email," Ye Tianjing said, handing back the items she had offered.

"Also, in the future, refrain from bringing me these items; I don't care for them."

"Understood. I'll send the design draft right away," Zhao Xiao replied softly.
