Jiang Mingzhu looked at Zhou Li on the tablet screen, and the two looked at each other through the video.
Jiang Mingzhu licked her lips, suppressed her emotions, brought her attention back, and began to introduce the project.
Jiang Mingzhu's psychological quality has always been good, and she keeps work and life well separated.
Once you start working, you will be fully focused.
While Jiang Mingzhu was explaining, Zhou Li kept his eyes fixed on the screen.
Seeing her confident, calm and engaged look, Zhou Li clenched the water glass beside her.
Jiang Mingzhu acted so naturally, even after what happened that night, she was so calm after meeting him at work.
It was as if nothing before had ever happened and they were just simple partners.
At this point he was indeed ashamed of himself.
When Zhou Li was distracted, Jiang Mingzhu had already finished explaining the plan.
After waiting for almost half a minute for Zhou Li's response, Jiang Mingzhu had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any other ideas?"
It was only when she called "Mr. Zhou" that Zhou Li's attention returned.
His eyes turned to the screen again. Jiang Mingzhu had a smile on her face, with standard and formulaic eight teeth.
It's dazzling to see.
Zhou Li: "No, continue."
His voice sounded cold, but everyone here was used to his attitude and didn't think too much about it.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. After the matter was finalized, Zhou Li hung up the video.
Liang Cong apologized and explained to Jiang Mingzhu: "Mr. Zhou is not feeling well, please forgive me."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded to express understanding.
Several colleagues around me said, "I understand, I understand. Let's go visit Mr. Zhou when we have time later."
This is nothing special in the industry and it is basic courtesy to visit a partner when they are sick.
Liang Cong laughed when he heard this, "Everyone is interested, but Mr. Zhou is happy, so I won't cause any trouble to you."
My colleague said, "Just let Jiang Zhu go over on our behalf."
Qin Mingli said that when he was away from Beicheng, everything he needed to do would be left to Jiang Mingzhu.
It’s not surprising that colleagues would say this.
Liang Cong: "Jiang Zhu, is it convenient?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...I can do anything. It depends on Mr. Zhou's arrangements."
Jiang Mingzhu did not pretend to refuse.
Firstly, it is because from the perspective of the partner, she is indeed obligated to visit.
Secondly...she wanted to go there herself, but Liang Cong just gave her a step down.
Liang Cong: "Then I will confirm the time with Mr. Zhou."
Liang Cong maintained his usual high efficiency. After talking to Jiang Mingzhu, he immediately left the conference room and called Zhou Li.
Jiang Mingzhu's eyes followed Liang Cong, and she felt a little nervous while waiting.
A few minutes later, Liang Cong came back after talking on the phone.
Liang Cong: "Jiang Zhu, it's convenient for me this afternoon. You can come over at any time."
He glanced at the colleagues next to Jiang Mingzhu and said in a business-like manner: "I will send you Mr. Zhou's address via text message."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Okay."

Xu Yingfei hurried to Yushuiwan and was shocked when she saw the pale Zhou Li.
She handed the thermos box in her hand to Zhou Li, "You're not really sick, are you?"
Zhou Li didn't answer. He glanced at the thermos box and asked her, "What is this?"
Xu Yingfei: "I brought you a big tonic soup. You are sick. As your fiancée, shouldn't I bring you some food?"
Zhou Li: "Did you do it?"
Xu Yingfei: "I poured it in with my own hands."
Zhou Li: "..."
In an instant, Xu Yingfei had put on her slippers, "You haven't eaten yet, try it. I think this restaurant is very good."
Zhouli
"Hmm" he said, pointing to the guest room on the first floor, "The clothes are in there."
Xu Yingfei nodded, turned and entered the guest room.
She moved quickly and changed her clothes in just a few minutes, then went to the restaurant to find Zhou Li.
After seeing Zhou Li's new coffee machine, Xu Yingfei went up and played with it to make latte.
Xu Yingfei: "Has anyone worn the clothes I'm wearing before?"
Zhou Li: "No."
Xu Yingfei: "But why do I feel like it's a bit old?"
Zhou Li lowered his head and took a sip of vegetable soup without answering.
Xu Yingfei: "...Wait a minute, you didn't buy new ones just to wash the old ones, right?"
Zhou Li: "You have too many questions."
Although he did not answer directly, his sophistry just confirmed Xu Yingfei's guess.
Xu Yingfei sat down opposite Zhou Li with a prepared latte, staring at him closely with a smile of unknown meaning on her lips.
Zhou Li: "Isn't Jiang Jin enough for you to watch?"
Xu Yingfei: "I'm just expressing my surprise."
Zhou Li: "What?"
Xu Yingfei: "You are so boring."
Zhou Li: "Shut up."
Xu Yingfei: "I am so angry that I am so embarrassed."
She stirred the coffee and thought thoughtfully, "Are you men all like this? You love her so much but dare not admit it with your mouth."
Zhou Li didn't answer.
Xu Yingfei: "If you continue to act like this, believe it or not, you will end up without a wife."
Zhou Li: "Go and tell Jiang Jin this."
Xu Yingfei: "I won't be happy if you don't stimulate him for a day, right?"
Zhou Li: "You started first."
Xu Yingfei: "..."
Whatever.
Since Zhou Li is tough-talking, she will cooperate with him soon.

Jiang Mingzhu decided to go there at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
After coming out of the meeting in Mingchuan, Jiang Mingzhu first went to the flower shop to order a bouquet of flowers, and then went to have lunch by herself.
Time always flies when you are thinking.
At early two o'clock, after Jiang Mingzhu went to the flower shop to pick up the flowers, she took a taxi to Yushuiwan.
There was a large bouquet of flowers. When Jiang Mingzhu ordered the flowers, she specifically said she was going to see a sick client, so the clerk chose yellow roses, carnations, baby's breath, and a few sunflowers.
It seems to be in a state of vitality.
Near three o'clock, the taxi stopped in front of Yushui Bay.
Jiang Mingzhu got out of the car with a bouquet of flowers and walked to the security door. She took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell.
The door opens quickly.
When the door opened, Jiang Mingzhu was already ready to read out the draft she had typed.
But just as she moved her lips, she saw Xu Yingfei standing in front of her.
Xu Yingfei was wearing home clothes and her hair was pulled up casually. She looked like she had been living here for a long time.
After seeing Jiang Mingzhu, Xu Yingfei also showed a surprised expression: "Mingzhu, are you looking for Zhou Li?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Oh, I heard that Mr. Zhou is sick. I will come to visit on behalf of the company."
Xu Yingfei did not doubt that he was there: "You are so thoughtful, come in quickly."
Xu Yingfei behaves very much like the owner here.
Jiang Mingzhu still felt quite uncomfortable after seeing Xu Yingfei.
But this discomfort and the previous loss are not the same starting point——
She knew very well that Xu Yingfei loved someone else, and she was just playing along with Zhou Li.
What makes Jiang Mingzhu uncomfortable is that in order to "retaliate" against her, Zhou Li would go to this level of detail.
One can imagine how much of a shadow she left on him back then.
After Jiang Mingzhu came in, she happened to meet Zhou Li who was coming out of the restaurant.
