My heart skipped a beat.

No way...

"Maybe, it was Mr. Zhou who arranged it for her."

Cancan snorted coldly, "I don't know if it was arranged by President Zhou, I only know that he is a double-dealer who steals other people's achievements!"

I seem to understand.

Cancan looked at me sympathetically. "You were supposed to go to the signing ceremony this morning, but they made a last-minute substitution. How can anyone accept this?"

really.

But if there was a sudden change of personnel, why didn’t you notify me?

What role does Han Qi play?

Seeing that I was silent, Cancan probably felt that I was sad, so she comforted me, "Although this matter is indeed very annoying, you don't have to get angry about it. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by getting angry."

I'm not really that angry, but the feeling in my heart is a little indescribable.

I want to know what role Han Qi plays.

Is it the one who is kept in the dark, or the one who helps the evil?

But I can't always ask directly.

Just when I was struggling, Han Qi came to me on his own initiative.

Te called me to his office.

"Mu Yan, I'm sorry."

The first thing he said was an apology, which made my heart sink to the bottom. "So you already knew about the contract change."

Just refused to tell me.

Han Qi said, "I only found out when I arrived at the signing location this morning."

"I've been waiting for you at the signing venue for a long time, but none of you came." If Han Qi showed up at the signing venue, there was no way I wouldn't have seen him.

Han Qi was slightly stunned. "I did go there, but you never showed up. I only found out when I got there that the person who was going to sign the contract had changed."

"That's impossible."

What we said didn't match at all. There must be something I didn't know.

“Where is the signing location?”

Han Qi seemed to have thought of something after hearing what I said. "After I hung up the phone yesterday, I sent you a message saying that the signing location had been changed from the teahouse to the other party's group. Did you... not receive it?"

When he hung up the phone, the phone was in Zhou Chenyan's hand.

I opened my phone and took a look.

There are no unread messages, and the latest one is spam.

I gritted my teeth slightly, Zhou Chenyan!

Han Qi said, "I arrived at the location and found that you were not there. The president's assistant also told me that Zhou Zhizi would be the one signing the contract today instead of you. I wanted to call you to ask, but they confiscated your phone during the signing ceremony, so I really couldn't..."

He lowered his head, tired and lonely.

"sorry."

But he's not the one who should say sorry, and he's not the one I really want to blame. "Don't be like this, this is none of your business."

Han Qi shook his head. "It's my fault. I didn't notice anything was wrong. I should have thought of confiscating my phone during the contract signing process to prevent me from contacting you. And this text message..."

He paused, then added, "It's my fault. I should have thought that there might be something unexpected with the text message. I should have explained it to you on the phone."

But I know very well that it’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that he doesn’t have time to say it.

At that time, we only told them the signing location and meeting time, and then Zhou Chenyan came.

There was no time to say the rest.

He sent the text message thinking I knew, but in fact I didn't see it at all.

I took a deep breath and said, "I don't blame you. Now that it has happened, I can only accept it."

Han Qi was still angry on my behalf. "I really don't understand why Mr. Zhou would do this? This project was created by you and me, so you should be the one to go to the signing ceremony. The credit should be yours!"

I was a little angry at first, but when I saw that he was even angrier than me, my anger suddenly eased a little.

“There are always many unfair things in this world.”

I've gotten used to it.

"But it's not fair to you." Han Qi has been working with me and knows better than anyone the energy and time I put into these projects.

"In the eyes of the big guys, we are just small people who can be easily sacrificed. This world is inherently unfair."

Maybe it was because he had received too much unfair treatment from Zhou Chenyan.

I didn't feel angry at all.

Just chilling and tired.

He said that he wanted to live a good life with me, but he was jealous of my relationship with Han Qi, and even gave me the illusion that he seemed to care about me a little.

But now I know that they are all fake.

I suddenly felt a surge of fear.

This man's acting skills are so good, he created an illusion with just a few simple words and almost fooled me.

After leaving Han Qi's office, I went to the bathroom.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but reveal a hint of anger.

I originally thought that since this project was completed so beautifully, I could use this opportunity to get closer to the core and find the company's parasites faster.

At first I thought Li Kai was Zhou Zhizi's accomplice, but he went offline too quickly. Even if he really was, I had no way of confirming that Zhou Zhizi didn't conspire with anyone else besides Li Kai.

The best way is to get into the core of the company, and it will not be difficult to find out the truth.

But Zhou Chenyan ruined all my plans.

This idiot!

Fool!

I told myself not to be angry, but I couldn't help but hit the water surface.

"Sister Yanyan, you must be feeling very uncomfortable."

In the mirror, Zhou Zhizi appeared at the doorway without me noticing. She stared at me and grinned, "It must be very frustrating to have someone else reap the fruits of your hard work."

"Come to show off."

I said lightly.

Zhou Zhizi was in a very good mood. "If you insist on saying that I'm here to show off, you can understand it that way. After all, this is Ah Yan's intention towards me. I'm happy in my heart, and of course I hope to share this happiness with you."

"I hope you can stay happy like this forever."

Zhou Zhizi smiled, "Thank you, Sister Yanyan. I will definitely take your words of blessing and work harder to show you my happiness."

I put my hand under the stream and rubbed my fingers slowly.

Zhou Zhizi walked in and turned on the faucet next to her. "Sister Yanyan is really amazing. She can keep her composure."

The smell of her perfume instantly hit my nose. I don’t like these scents very much and I don’t usually use perfume myself.

This smell is really pungent.

I turned off the faucet and walked away.

Zhou Zhizi suddenly said, "You know, this is a birthday gift from Ah Yan to make up for it because he missed my birthday party before."

I know what she's going to say.

He only gave her a faint reply.

"If you want me to know how much he cares about you, then there's no need. If he really cares about you, he won't be absent on your birthday."

What kind of compensation is it after the fact?

It was just a measure to prevent myself from condemning myself.

Just like Zhou Chenyan had missed my important days countless times and gave me many gifts afterwards, each of which was very expensive.
