Liang Cong choked at Jiang Mingzhu's words.
He was a little curious about where Jiang Mingzhu found out his annual salary, but he couldn't ask directly.
Liang Cong: "Ms. Jiang, go see Mr. Zhou. I'm going to get busy."
After saying that, he hurriedly avoided Jiang Mingzhu and left, as if he would be punished for saying another word to her.
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't help laughing when she looked at Liang Cong's back. Being an assistant to Zhou Li was too hard.
Jiang Mingzhu went to Zhou Li's office without knocking as a habit. Sure enough, as soon as she opened the door and entered, she saw Zhou Li sitting at his desk with a gloomy aura, looking through some information.
Anyway, he just looked dissatisfied.
After hearing the office door being pushed open, his aura became even more fierce, and when he raised his head, he looked like he wanted to settle a score severely.
But after seeing Jiang Mingzhu, the words of questioning suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Jiang Mingzhu closed the door and walked to the desk. After stopping, she looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Li: "Why are you here?"
The tone was very cold and didn't sound very welcoming.
But this is not a problem for Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu immediately walked around the desk and came to him, sitting on his lap like she had done countless times before.
Without giving Zhou Li a chance to push him away, Jiang Mingzhu's arms had already wrapped around his neck.
Then she kissed his chin again: "Of course I'm here to coax you."
Zhou Li: "What are you trying to do with me?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I made you angry because I secretly ate desserts behind your back."
She never shied away from admitting her mistakes, but she did so confidently.
Zhou Li: "Heh."
Jiang Mingzhu held his face and kissed him again: "Don't be angry."
Zhou Li: "You know I will be angry but you still eat it."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...I forgot about it for the time being."
Zhou Li: "Oh, you can forget what I said at any time."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
I always felt that the two of them got the wrong script. Zhou Li's lines were clearly meant for her.
Zhou Li successfully asked Jiang Mingzhu until he had nothing to say, "The quota during the Spring Festival has been used up."
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips in grievance: "Okay."
The most important thing is to make your boyfriend happy: "Then can you forgive me now, my dear boyfriend?"
Zhou Li: "Yeah."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I bumped into Liang Zhu when I came here just now. Did you use him as a punching bag again?"
Zhou Li paused and frowned: "Did he say that?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "How dare he say anything wrong about you, I guess."
Zhou Li: "Huh?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Don't you always use others as a punching bag?"
Zhou Li: "...Is there any?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes."
She gave Zhou Li a few examples, and her expression gradually became serious: "Liang Zhu is so serious about his work and worries so much about you. You may not be able to find such an assistant even if you offer a higher price, and he is like you." It’s been so many years, don’t always be like this.”
Jiang Mingzhu spoke very seriously. Zhou Li was moved by her and began to reflect seriously.
After thinking about it, it was indeed because of his bad mood that it affected Liang Cong.
Not only just now, when his relationship with Jiang Mingzhu was not confirmed, Liang Cong was even more troubled.
A few minutes later, Zhou Li said, "I will give him a bonus."
Jiang Mingzhu knew that Zhou Li had listened, and her expression was not as serious as before.
She smiled and said, "I really envy Assistant Liang for having such a generous boss, and he wants to raise his salary again."
Zhou Li: "Then you come too."
Jiang Mingzhu has not resigned yet, and Zhou Li never misses any opportunity to poach someone.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Unless you let me be the boss lady."
week
present:"……"
They all know the meaning behind this sentence.
When talking about marriage, Zhou Li suddenly fell silent.
He seemed to be avoiding the topic, which Jiang Mingzhu had noticed a few times before.
Maybe it’s pre-marriage fear.
Jiang Mingzhu was not very eager to get married. She just made a joke and did not intend to force the marriage.
Zhou Li didn't reply, so the topic passed away.
——
On the day of departure, Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li met Jiang Jin in the basement of Beicheng Airport.
After learning about the relationship between Jiang Jin and Jiang Mingzhu, Zhou Li's hostility towards him was no longer as serious as before.
But the defense is still there.
That's a natural instinct.
As long as someone approaches Jiang Mingzhu, his radar will activate.
Jiang Mingzhu was also very cooperative, holding Zhou Li's arm and laughing and coaxing him the whole time, just for fear that he would be angry.
Jiang Jin had no objections to Zhou Li before, but when he changes his identity and observes Zhou Li again, he always feels that Jiang Mingzhu is too spoiled to him.
After completing the check-in formalities, Jiang Jin went to ask Jiang Mingzhu: "Would you like some coffee?"
"No." Before Jiang Mingzhu could say anything, Zhou Li refused on her behalf.
His tone was very strong, with a hint of tension.
Jiang Jin: "..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Just get me a cup of oat milk or almond milk. I have a bad stomach and can't drink coffee."
She habitually explained to Jiang Jin: "Zhou Li is like this because he is worried about my health. Don't mind."
Jiang Jin nodded towards Jiang Mingzhu and asked Zhou Li: "Latte or American?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Latte, less ice."
She remembered Zhou Li's habits very clearly.
——
Because they checked in together, Jiang Jin, Jiang Mingzhu, and Zhou Li were only separated by a corridor.
Jiang Mingzhu was naturally placed by the window by Zhou Li, and she fell asleep not long after takeoff.
Jiang Jin saw Zhou Li take a blanket and cover Jiang Mingzhu's body with very gentle movements.
After covering her, he carefully adjusted the position of her head to make her sleep more comfortable.
This was the first time Jiang Jin saw Zhou Li taking care of someone like this, and it was indeed clear that he cared about Jiang Mingzhu.
When Zhou Li covered Jiang Mingzhu with a blanket and turned back, he happened to meet Jiang Jin's eyes.
Jiang Jin: "You take good care of her."
Zhou Li: "She is my girlfriend."
The implication is that you should take care of her no matter what.
Jiang Jin: "Is she in bad health?"
He recalled Jiang Mingzhu's words before, and it seemed that he had heard her say this more than once, "What's wrong? Have you seen a doctor?"
Zhou Li: "Stomach cancer."
As soon as these two words came out, Jiang Jin's face immediately tensed up.
There was an expression of disbelief on the face that was usually so serious that nothing happened.
Zhou Li followed behind and added: "It's ready."
Jiang Jin felt incredible: "She is so young, how could she-"
Zhou Li: "Because you don't understand what she has experienced before."
Jiang Jin was silenced by Zhou Li.
This is true.
Seeing that Jiang Jin was speechless, Zhou Li spoke again: "A genetic test can also be done in Beicheng. You must ask her to return to California with you. What is the purpose?"
When Zhou Li asked, Jiang Jin finally understood where his hostility towards him came from: "Are you afraid that the Wen family will take her away?"
"You don't have to worry at all." Jiang Jin glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, "Even if the Wen family really has this intention, she will not separate from you for our relatives who appeared out of thin air."
