Chapter 1579: Chapter 1579 Jealousy
"What, what’s with that tone, are you dismissive of our conversation topic?" Seeing the disdain on his face towards Flemming, Yiyi was even more annoyed.
Ji Lingkong took a leisurely sip of red wine: "Of course, I wouldn’t dare, but I just think that those in research should be more grounded, with less flamboyance and unrealistic ambitions. The military industry isn’t as simple as you imagine!"
Though his tone was polite, the arrogance and indifference in it were real, and this was what Yiyi couldn’t stand the most.
It reminded her of the past, when he and Charlotte would chat happily at the dining table, talking about everything under the sun, and she could never get a word in, only able to look up, curious and envious, not understanding why they could be so delighted with their conversation.
And the topics he talked about with her never touched on business, company matters, or military affairs. In his heart, he actually thought she was quite foolish, only capable of discussing childish topics, unable to engage in discussions on an equal level with him on those subjects.
Even now, after she had attended a prestigious school, joined an impressive research institution, learned a lot of knowledge, and become an outstanding graduate, in his heart, he still viewed her as naive and ignorant.
She knew he looked down on her!
She felt disappointed, angry, and hated him.
"Mr. Ji is right, I was too hasty just now. Thank you for pointing it out!" Flemming wasn’t a fool. Being in this industry, he naturally knew of the renowned figures in this field.
He quickly recognized Ji Lingkong as the young master of the Ji Corporation and naturally didn’t dare to offend him. What’s more, coming from a technical background, even as a top graduate, he couldn’t help but feel inferior in front of this man. From a young age, this man participated in the development and operation of the largest arms group; his knowledge, practical experience, and vision all far surpassed his own, standing at greater heights.
The issues he pointed out were ones Flemming couldn’t refute at all.
"Mr. Ji is Miss Jun’s friend, so you’re here to chat with her. I’ll take my leave first." Knowing Ji Lingkong had come specifically for Yiyi, and sensing Ji Lingkong’s hostility towards him, he was wise enough to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
But Yiyi was sulking, even less willing to let Ji Lingkong so easily chase away Flemming. Why should he interfere with her friendships?
She immediately clutched Flemming’s arm, swaying it intimately, smiling charmingly like a blooming sunflower, half coquettish, half teasing and angry.
"Flemming, didn’t you invite me to the opening dance? I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time."
Yiyi smiled sweetly, but her palm was almost crushing with pressure. Humph, even if she lost ground, she was determined to reclaim a victory.
What was Brother Ling Kong so smug about, coming specifically to laugh at her date, likely planning to show off his beautiful sweetheart to her later, mocking her for not having found a dance partner yet? She couldn’t swallow this grievance.
"You invited him to your first opening dance at 18?" The stunning smile on Lingkong’s lips instantly turned icy, his tone filled with biting skepticism.
Yiyi raised her head proudly, facing him: "Yes, he’s my date for tonight, and we have other secrets to share, Brother Ling Kong, you’re not privy to them. Excuse us."
With that, she led a stiff, almost tearful Flemming away sweetly.
