Zhan Yubai walked towards the lounge and happened to meet Zhou Li coming out of the bathroom.
Zhou Li: "What?"
Zhan Yubai: "I bought the medicine and put it on the table."
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
Zhan Yubai: "You can't take medicine on an empty stomach. Why don't you go eat first?"
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
Zhan Yubai and Zhou Li came to the company's executive cafeteria together. While eating, Zhan Yubai and Zhou Li talked about the birthdays of his two little nephews.
Zhou Li only listened but did not speak.
Zhan Yubai: "Come shopping with me after get off work tonight. I haven't chosen a gift for Xiao Zuo or Xiao You yet."
Zhou Li: "No time."
Zhan Yubai: "I asked Liang Zhu just now. He said you had no plans tonight. Did you remember correctly?"
Zhou Li: "I'm not interested in shopping."
Zhan Yubai suddenly grabbed the chopsticks in her hand, her knuckles turning white. Of course she knew that Zhou Li didn't like shopping. He had never gone shopping with her in so many years.
But he went shopping with Jiang Mingzhu last night and brought her back to Yushui Bay.
Zhan Yubai held it in for a long time and finally smiled: "Okay then, I'll ask Ji Wan to accompany me."
——
At half past six, people in the office were almost gone. Jiang Mingzhu stuck her head out of the office and looked around.
The cleaning lady is walking to Zhou Li's office.
It seems that Zhou Li has already got off work.
When the time came, Jiang Mingzhu took a document and walked to Zhou Li's office, where she met the cleaning aunt.
"You come and clean. I'll send a document to Mr. Zhou."
The cleaning lady didn't take it seriously and went into the lounge to do some work.
Jiang Mingzhu glanced back, and when she wasn't paying attention, she took out the voice recorder from her pocket and got under the desk.
It was a huge challenge to get something like this under Zhou Li's nose. Jiang Mingzhu knelt down, her head almost touching the ground.
After finally finding a hidden place to put it, I turned around and suddenly saw a pair of leather shoes.
The leather shoes moved, and then the chair next to them moved.
Jiang Mingzhu's heart was beating like thunder. She raised her head and met Zhou Li's temperatureless eyes, and her back felt cold.
Zhou Li: "Come out by yourself or should I do it?"
Of course Jiang Mingzhu chose herself.
When she was adjusting the hem of her skirt and getting ready, Zhou Li ordered again: "Take out the things."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Sure enough, he was seen.
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Li looked impatient: "Wait for me to take action?"
Dogs don't know how to show mercy to women, so Jiang Mingzhu could only take out the recorder as if accepting her fate.
Zhou Li watched her the whole time. Jiang Mingzhu had no chance to change things and could only run her brain rapidly.
The result of being distracted was that I hit my head when I climbed out.
There was a bang, and the entire desk was shaking.
Jiang Mingzhu sat on the ground in pain, her eyes red.
Zhou Li looked at her condescendingly, with intense scrutiny in his eyes, as if he was trying to see whether she was really in pain or just pretending.
Jiang Mingzhu: "It hurts so much. Please give me a hand."
She took the initiative to reach out her hand, and Zhou Li took her hand and pulled her up.
Jiang Mingzhu sat on his lap and cried, "It's all your fault. My head is swollen. Please apologize."
Zhou Li took the voice recorder away from her hand and said coldly: "First explain to me what is going on."
Jiang Mingzhu broke the pot and said angrily: "What else can happen? Of course the recorder is meant to monitor you!"
Her righteousness caught Zhou Li off guard: "..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "She comes to your office when she has nothing to do. Who knows what you will do..."
Zhou Li: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Jiang Mingzhu frowned.
Zhou Li: "Are you going to tell me? I'm not going to leave tomorrow.
"
Jiang Mingzhu felt that he was really angry, not just talking casually like before.
Monitoring this kind of behavior is definitely taboo in the business district, and someone in Zhou Li's position would never condone it.
Jiang Mingzhu knew that she was not important to him yet.
"I'm sorry...I was wrong." She lay on Zhou Li's shoulder and sobbed. "I just want to know why you let her come to the company and whether you will question her about cheating. If you refuse to tell me, I just I can think of this solution."
Zhou Li: "So the responsibility lies with me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, no, I went too far. I was wrong. Brother, please don't fire me, okay?"
She kissed him on the neck, her tears moistening his Adam's apple, "I'm just jealous, she obviously cheated on you and you were so kind to her."
"Is it because of that kidney? But haven't you ever suspected that she was getting together with that doctor? Maybe that kidney is not hers at all..."
Jiang Mingzhu cried and said a lot of half truths and half lies, but Zhou Li had no reaction.
Jiang Mingzhu raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes.
Zhou Li raised his hand and touched her head: "Does it still hurt?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "It hurts, rub it for me."
Zhou Li actually rubbed her a few times.
When he withdrew his hand, he said, "It won't happen again."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded obediently, "I remember."
——
Jiang Mingzhu got into the car and threw her bag to the passenger side angrily. She became even more irritable after touching the bag on her head.
Just one step away.
Zhou Li ruined her plan and even caused her to hit her head, making her put on a palace fight.
I'm so exhausted.
The original plan didn't work, and Jiang Mingzhu could only ask for information from Fu Xiaozhi in two days.
Fu Xiaozhi has been away from Beicheng for a few days, and she doesn't know when she will be back.
——
It had been five working days since Zhan Yubai arrived in Wanhua. Jiang Mingzhu had never spoken to him in private except for the opportunity to interact with Zhou Li alone on the first day.
Zhan Yubai would go to Zhou Li's office whenever he had free time, euphemistically called discussing work, but the real purpose was self-evident.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't understand what Zhou Li was thinking, but he let Zhan Yubai do this.
On Friday afternoon, Jiang Mingzhu finally received Fu Xiaozhi's WeChat message.
Fu Xiaozhi: [I'm back. Are you free to go shopping with me in the evening? 】
Jiang Mingzhu: [Yes. 】
Fu Xiaozhi: [Then let’s meet at the sea. 】
After confirming the time and place with Fu Xiaozhi, Jiang Mingzhu continued to do the work at hand.
Before leaving get off work, Jiang Mingzhu went to Zhou Li's office to deliver documents to him.
She was used to entering without knocking, but when she opened the door, she happened to see Zhan Yubai tying Zhou Li's tie.
Interrupted by the sound of the door opening, Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai both looked towards Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Mr. Zhou, the contract has been sorted out."
Zhou Li: "Put it on the table."
Jiang Mingzhu walked up and put down the documents, and when she turned around to leave, Zhan Yubai suddenly asked, "Jiang Zhu never knocks on the door when he enters the office?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Mr. Zhou said you don't have to knock."
Zhan Yubai looked at Zhou Li: "Really? I remember that you hate not knocking the door the most."
Jiang Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Li. She was also a little curious about how Zhou Li would answer this question.
Zhou Li: "Get out."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay."
Jiang Mingzhu walked to the door, reluctant to miss this good show, and put her ear against the door.
Soon, she heard Zhou Li say: "Enough is enough."
