Chapter 37 I have a marriage contract.

Jing Ge didn't dare to say a word the whole way.

Actually, the application form is just a formality. We're all adults; who would really ask our parents to sign it?

The administration also turns a blind eye to prevent any accidents from happening to employees while they are staying in the dormitory, so that the company will not take responsibility for them.

Jingge thought and thought but couldn't find a suitable person.

The only option is to sign Li Mushi.

When Amanda gave him the application form, she gave him a rather strange look.

Jingge thought she had discovered him, so he tried to cover it up.

As a result, Amanda didn't notice, but the person who had unknowingly taken on a huge burden discovered it first.

Jingge took the water bottle ingratiatingly, unscrewed it himself, and handed it back to a man with a dark face: "Uncle, please drink."

Li Mushi ignored her.

The water in the newly opened store was very full; the water overflowed as soon as the car made any noise.

It all spilled onto Li Mushi's clothes.

Jingge tried to move the bottle away, but some spilled out as he did so.

It got onto Li Mushi's trousers.

Jing Ge: "......"

Li Mushi remained expressionless throughout.

It was as if she could throw a landmine at him and he would accept it without batting an eye.

Jing Ge was completely too scared to move.

I didn't appease her; instead, I drove her crazy.

The emotion of being so crazy that one loses all resistance has a kind of calm that says, "Go ahead and make the sky fall if you dare."

We walked in silence.

Jingge drank a lot of water.

Li Mushi dropped her off at the Li family home and then left.

Sheng Man looked him over and asked, "Who offended him?"

“…” Jing Ge slumped his shoulders. “It wasn’t me.”

Sheng Man was surprised: "You can still offend him? How did you offend him? No one in the entire Li family can make him even flinch."

Jing Ge: "".

After racking his brains for a while, Jing Ge finally said, "I spilled water in his car."

“Oh,” Sheng Man said knowingly, “this is urgent, no one can eat or drink in his car.”

Jingge kept his mouth shut.

I feel like I'm lucky to be alive.

He was probably forced to get involved with her, like a grasshopper, and he wanted to kill her but was afraid of getting himself implicated.

Li Mushi immediately turned around and dialed Amanda's number, his voice icy: "Why didn't you tell me?"

“That’s not what you said yourself,” Amanda said. “It’s company policy, business is business?”

Li Mushi: "She signed my name, so I am responsible for her safety."

Amanda: "It's just a formality, don't take it so seriously. If we don't sign you, we can sign mine."

silence.

After a moment, Li Mushi said calmly, "You didn't take it to heart. You should understand the weight of my signature."

"Mmm," Amanda said insincerely, "Then I'll get it back for her, and have her sign mine?"

"......"

After a while.

“Never mind,” Li Mushi seemed to accept the fact. “Our children are not for outsiders to take care of.”

Amanda laughed in exasperation.

OK.

She is an outsider.

Is he my wife?

“Alright,” Amanda said casually, “Since this is outside the scope of business, there’s something else I think I should tell you.”

"Um."

“There are rumors going around the company,” Amanda said, “saying that Jingge was able to gain a foothold in Womei because he was being kept by Zhang Hong.”

"......"

Amanda: "It just so happens that Mr. Zhang is currently in a cold war and separated from his wife, and Jing Ge has a slap mark on his face. They all agree that the slap mark was caused by Mrs. Zhang."

"For a cumbersome shipping container," Li Mushi frowned, "what did she sacrifice? Are the people in your company collectively blind?"

Amanda: "Speaking of which, just wait and see. Once she wins over the client, there'll be plenty to talk about."

Jing Ge is a newcomer who has only been officially hired for a short time and already has his own clients, which will only make the rumors more rampant.

Li Mushi asked, almost as if possessed, "Zhang Hong is 50, isn't he?"

Amanda: "?"

Li Mushi casually pointed out, "Her father is only 43."

Zhang Hong is old enough to be her grandfather.

"......"

What does this have to do with age!

Does being a sugar daddy/sugar baby require an age match? What kind of logic is that?

“Your company’s corporate culture,” Li Mushi said sarcastically, “and the demeanor of your leaders are truly admirable.”

Amanda hung up the phone.

She and Li Mushi were old classmates, and they had been classmates for many years, but she had never heard so much ridicule and sarcasm as she did today.

A business is a business, not a school. Teachers are not responsible for every little thing that happens to students.

Unless the situation escalates to the point of affecting the company's interests, the leaders will naturally turn a blind eye.

Moreover, such foul rumors only circulate among the subordinates and do not reach the boss.

He said it himself: if a young girl wants to be independent, she needs to be tempered and trained.

But when he actually got the experience, he couldn't bear to give it up.

This doesn't seem like an elder treating a younger person at all. If it were a biological father who doted on his daughter, she could understand.

Unfortunately, he wasn't his biological father; he was just a distant uncle with seniority but no blood relation.

Amanda shook her head and sighed.

Seeing through things but not saying it outright, we're still old friends.

Jing Ge always chooses Li Zhan's birthday cake every year.

Young women love beauty and fun, are familiar with the activities and preferences of the young people around them, and know what styles and colors are popular this year.

Turning 20 is a big birthday, and Sheng Man didn't plan to throw him a big party, but the elders disagreed.

Of the three Li brothers, only Li Zhan and Li Ying are the next generation, so their birthdays are naturally not to be taken lightly.

“There are a lot of people this year, so let’s choose a three-story one,” Sheng Man said, linking arms with Jing Ge. “Choose one you like, and he’ll like it too.”

Jingge remained silent and selected a trendy three-layer model from the tablet.

A small golden bull, representing the zodiac animal of Li Zhan, will sit atop the cake.

"What is the Golden Bull made of?" Sheng Man asked. "Can I exchange it for real gold?"

Cake shop owner: "Of course."

Sheng Man smiled and looked at Jing Ge: "After the cake is finished, I'll ask Li Zhan to give you the Taurus to play with."

They always tried to find ways to give her things.

Jing Ge understood: "Li Zhan is the real protagonist..."

“He’s not the main character,” Sheng Man said affectionately. “You are, both of you are.”

"......"

After choosing the cake, Sheng Man was going to take her shopping for clothes, and then have dinner at the Li family's house.

“There’s a company dinner today,” Jing Ge said obediently. “I’ll come over early tomorrow to help you.”

Sheng Man: "Okay, Grandpa and Grandma miss you. Li Zhan is being disobedient, and they need you to teach him a lesson."

Jing Ge brushed it off vaguely, without giving a direct answer.

We're on working holiday starting tomorrow, and this dinner is the first phase of Womei's annual team building activities.

The dinner was held at a nearby hotel.

When Jingge arrived, his colleagues were sitting in twos and threes in the lobby on the first floor, chatting quietly among themselves.

Mei Ying, a clerk who joined the company on the same day as her, pulled her to sit down next to her: "We're waiting for the boss, he hasn't come yet."

After saying that, Mei Ying looked her up and down and asked, "Why don't you dress up a bit?"

"..." Jing Ge paused, looking at her overly heavy makeup, "Aren't we eating?"

"It's rare to have everyone in the company," Mei Ying gestured, "What if we find someone we like?"

Jing Ge was speechless: "I'm engaged, I can't look for someone else."

Mei Ying exclaimed "Ah!" and leaned even closer: "Whose engagement?"

Jing Ge: "It was arranged when we were little."

"Aren't you going to explain?" Mei Ying tugged at her. "Everyone says you and the boss...you just listen and do nothing?"

Jing Ge's eyelashes fluttered: "What about me and the boss?"
