Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"The follow-up work for the Qi Group?" Jean stunned for a while and shook her head. "Boss, I haven't been in our company long enough. And I am afraid that there are still many things..."

"Do not worry, John will help you." Sonny seemed to have already made this decision. Jean still wanted to talk more about this issue. But when she realized that Sonny would not be deterred from his decision, she gave up her intention to reject such an embarrassing assignment.

"But boss, she is just a new employee who knows nothing about our company. After all, the Qi Group is an important client. If Jean makes any mistake... all our efforts will be in vain. Consequently, it will damage the interests of our company."

Although Sonny was a famous photographer, he had been working in the investment industry for many years. Naturally, he knew that the senior employees would have doubts about this assignment. So he cleared his throat and said, "You have already seen the pictures of different thematic groups showed on PowerPoint. I can tell all of you that some were taken by Jean on her business trip. Although she is a newcomer, shooting experience is not new to her."

Till this moment, every person in that conference room had their own assumptions about Jean, be it because they had heard the rumors about the Weibo incident or the gossip about her possible intimate relationship with Sonny. None of them had actually thought that she had earned this apprenticeship because she was skilled. It was thus, surprising to them that some of those amazing photos had been taken by Jean. As the realization sunk in, they went quiet. Some fidgeted while others glanced at Jean with guilt. The conference room was so silent that even a pin dropping on the floor would be clearly heard. For a newcomer like Jean to show such skill was enough to

Settle the disagreement among the employees. After the meeting, Jean followed Sonny to his office.

"Boss, can you assign someone else to deal with this matter? I have not been here long. There is still so much for me to learn..."

"No, you are qualified to take this assignment." Sonny put down his notebook computer and tidied up the photos on his table. He lowered his head and said, "I saw the news about you and Zed Qi, the CEO of Qi Group, not long ago. I didn't know that you were his wife. But I don't think your relationship is that intimate. I guess the reason that you don't want to be responsible for this assignment is that you are concerned about meeting Zed when going to his company."

The last time Sonny went to the Qi Group, he happened to see Jean and Zed talk at the door of the elevator. The atmosphere between them had obviously been strange, which made Sonny imagine that they might have had a quarrel.

Jean was highly gifted in photography. Sonny expected to make her an extraordinary photographer under his tutelage. He was absolutely certain that if given the chance, she could improve her professional ability. What was more important was that he was not willing to see his only apprentice be influenced by her family affairs.

At the meeting today, Sonny could clearly see that Jean was somewhat absent-minded. He did not know what she was thinking about, but he was sure that her thoughts must be related to Zed Qi.

Only at this moment did Jean realize that Sonny had already known about the relationship between Zed and her. Rumors about her had spun out of control on Weibo. And almost everyone in the city had been talking about her personal affairs since the incident first came to light. However, Jean had thought that Sonny was not interested in such news and might not know about her personal challenges. Suddenly her thoughts were verified wrong as her marriage and other intimate details were known to Sonny. She was somewhat embarrassed.
