After sending Zhan Yubai away, when Zhou Li returned to the cloakroom, Jiang Mingzhu had already come out of the cabinet.
Her collar was still open, and the red marks on her neck were clearly visible.
Zhou Li walked up to him, pulled him over, and pressed him against the mirror again.
This time from behind.
Zhou Li's dry fingers pushed her hair aside, bit her ear hard, and said, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Jiang Mingzhu understood immediately and was asking about the thing she had just made the noise about.
She looked directly into his eyes in the mirror, her eyes blurred and hazy, "Yes, I am avenging my brother."
"Well...why...she can love you, but you and I still have to avoid her? It's not fair..."
——
At around one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mingzhu returned to the Xiangfu Villa holding a huge Lina Belle doll and a pile of shopping bags.
Zhou Li walked her into the house and left. Jiang Mingzhu was almost drained by him, and she didn't have the energy to get along with him as usual.
She took a quick shower, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
She was so tired at night that she overslept. If the nutritionist hadn't frantically rang the doorbell the next morning, she might have slept until the afternoon.
The nutritionist came at eight o'clock. Jiang Mingzhu went crazy when she saw the time. She hurriedly washed and put on makeup, changed into a random set of clothes and drove to work.
We set off more than 20 minutes later than usual, just in time for the troublesome morning rush hour. I hurriedly rushed but was still late.
Jiang Mingzhu has never been so embarrassed at work.
When she walked out of the elevator carrying her things, she happened to run into Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai.
Zhan Yubai glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Why is Jiang Zhu late today?"
"Jiang Zhu? Why are you here anyway? Didn't I say you could take sick leave today?" Liang Cong didn't know when he appeared. He stopped and looked at Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu understood instantly that Liang Cong was here to put out the fire.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's nothing serious, so I came here. Thank you Liang Zhu."
Zhan Yubai: "Is Jiang Zhu feeling unwell?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Well, my back hurts."
Zhan Yubai took a breath.
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou, should you take Mr. Zhan to do the onboarding process or should I go?"
Zhou Li: "I'll go, let's go."
Onboarding? Jiang Mingzhu looked at the backs of Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai in a daze, her mind a little lost.
Jiang Mingzhu asked Liang Cong: "What is recruitment?"
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhan will officially join Wanhua starting from today."
Jiang Mingzhu: "What position?"
Liang Cong: "Director of the Commerce Department."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Did Mr. Zhou ask her to come?"
Liang Cong: "I don't know about that."
——
Zhou Li accompanied Zhan Yubai to the Human Resources Department to apply for employment, and later personally took Zhan Yubai to the Ministry of Commerce to report.
As a result, the news of Zhan Yubai joining Wanhua also spread.
The birthday party comes first, and Wanhua’s employment comes after. When the two messages are combined, everyone is certain of one thing -
Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai are probably close to good things.
With Zhou Li's personal protection, Zhan Yubai can be said to be the most popular person in the Ministry of Commerce. Even the manager of the Ministry of Commerce has to be polite to her.
After all, she is the future boss lady.
Gossip spreads very fast, and Jiang Mingzhu has heard several different versions all morning.
The secretary's office is relatively close to Zhou Li's office, so we don't dare to discuss it too much.
But as soon as I went to the bathroom, it was all gossip about Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai.
Before lunch break, Jiang Mingzhu brought a cup of coffee to Zhou Li's office.
After putting down the coffee, she didn't leave, but stood in front of the desk.
Zhou Li closed the document in his hand, took a sip of the coffee she brought.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why?"
Zhou Li: "Why why?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why let her come to work in Wanhua?"
Zhou Li: "This is not what you should ask."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm just angry for my brother. She has already betrayed you, so why should she enjoy your kindness as a matter of course?"
Zhou Li: "I betrayed her too."
Zhou Li's attitude was already obvious. He didn't think it was necessary to explain this matter to her, and he didn't have much patience with her.
Jiang Mingzhu walked towards Zhou Li, sat on his lap, and used her usual tricks to act coquettishly: "But I don't want her to be here."
"When she comes, she will definitely pester you every day. Then you will have no time to give to me." Jiang Mingzhu took his hand and put it against her chest, saying aggrievedly, "When I want you, How to do it?"
The touch on his palm made Zhou Li's throat feel dry.
He tightened his fingers, and Jiang Mingzhu immediately snorted in his ear: "Brother, aren't you afraid of her coming?"
Thump thump thump.
Less than a second after Jiang Mingzhu finished speaking, Zhan Yubai actually knocked on the door.
Zhan Yubai just knocked on the door politely a few times, opened the door and walked in without waiting for Zhou Li's response.
"Zhou Li, are you done?" Zhan Yubai came to the desk, "Let's have lunch together."
Zhou Li's face was cold, his lips were stretched into a line, and his shoulders looked stiff.
Facing Zhan Yubai's invitation, he remained silent.
Zhan Yubai: "Zhou Li?"
Zhou Li: "I'm not done yet, you go and eat."
When he opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse, and it sounded like his throat was uncomfortable.
Zhan Yubai's face changed, and he asked worriedly: "Why is your voice so hoarse? Do you have a cold?"
Zhou Li: "Maybe."
Zhan Yubai: "Then let me buy you some medicine."
Zhou Li: "Well, thank you."
Zhan Yubai stared at the coffee on the table for a few seconds, then turned and left.
When Jiang Mingzhu heard the sound of the door closing, she stopped, licked her lips, looked up at Zhou Li, and asked with a smirk, "Is it exciting?"
Zhou Li held the back of her head and said, "You are really not afraid of death."
Jiang Mingzhu: "As long as my brother likes it, I am willing to die for him."
After she finished speaking, she licked her lips again and looked at him with a pair of fox eyes, like a madman.
Zhou Li used his remaining sanity to pull her up and buckle her belt.
Seeing the mess on her chest, Zhou Li pointed to the lounge: "Go clean it up and leave quickly."
Jiang Mingzhu was very obedient this time and came out of the office after cleaning up.
However, I just squatted under the desk for a long time, and my legs were a little numb, making it uncomfortable when walking.
Just a few steps out of Zhou Li's office, Jiang Mingzhu bumped into Zhan Yubai who was returning from buying medicine. Zhan Yubai looked at her with deep disgust in his eyes.
She must be unable to pretend anymore.
Jiang Mingzhu took the initiative to ask Zhan Yubai: "Does Zhan always deliver medicine to Mr. Zhou?"
Zhan Yubai: "How did you know that I went to buy medicine?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I just went to deliver coffee to Mr. Zhou and heard that his throat was not feeling well. I originally wanted to buy medicine, but he said you had already gone."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to praise Zhan Yubai: "Mr. Zhou is really lucky to have a fiancée like Mr. Zhan."
Zhan Yubai left without looking back. For the first time, Jiang Mingzhu saw her being so angry that she couldn't speak or stand up, and returned to the office in a happy mood.
——
Zhan Yubai came to Zhou Li's office and didn't see him. He only heard movement in the lounge.
