Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 36 Overnight
My home was gone long before my parents passed away unexpectedly and my brother went missing.
Now I can only live in Zhou Zechuan’s disgusting temporary residence.
Ji Wan's consciousness gradually became blurred, and his eyelids began to twitch with difficulty. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of Zhou Gong and fell into a deep sleep.
Half asleep and half awake, the surrounding environment changed from noisy to quiet, and then she seemed to be embraced in someone's arms. The arms were so warm and comfortable that she didn't want to leave.
…
When Ji Wan woke up, he felt warm all over and felt like he was in a warm house. If you ignore the discomfort in some part of your body, it would be perfect.
When I opened my eyes, I was met with an unfamiliar environment. My heart skipped a beat and I sat up, scanning the surroundings.
The European style of decoration gives off a sense of historical weight.
Ji Wan took a quick glance and saw the history of finance and a bowl of hangover soup on the counter. He immediately raised his eyebrows and felt relieved.
After drinking the sobering soup with a normal look on his face, Ji Wan washed up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.
I don’t know how I behaved when drinking yesterday. I hope I didn’t make a fool of myself by letting Chi Wenyan see me.
As I was thinking, I arrived at the living room and a servant came in with breakfast.
Ji Wan looked around but didn't see Chi Wenyan. He thought that he didn't have any classes to attend, so where could he go?
Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Cao arrived. Chi Wenyan came back from his morning run and raised his eyebrows when he saw Ji Wan.
"Sober now."
"woke up."
"I'm going to change my clothes, you eat first."
Ji Wan nodded. This atmosphere was so strange, as if they should be so familiar with each other and so close.
It really feels weird.
After sitting down to eat, Chi Wenyan came over after a while, wearing the black shirt that he never changed, which matched the European-style villa very well.
"Yesterday..." Ji Wan thought for a moment and coughed twice. Although she was open-minded, she still felt shy when she really mentioned this.
"It's a basic operation of solving each other's needs and partners helping each other. Is there anything strange about it?"
This serious explanation really leaves no room for complaint.
"You're right, this is very normal, there's nothing strange about it."
It's not surprising, after all, it's not the first time.
"Where are you going later?" Chi Wenyan asked.
"Of course it's the company. Keep shining and growing bigger and stronger."
Seeing Ji Wan's face full of energy, Chi Wenyan lowered his head and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, I'll have someone take you out of the suburbs, and then you can take a taxi back to the company."
"become."
Then there was a period of silent dining. After the meal, Ji Wan went to the door to change his shoes, and went out to wait for someone to see him off.
But after waiting for a while, she saw Chi Wenyan walking up to her with the car keys in his hand.
"You're not sending me."
"Um."
It was such an honor to be sent off by Master Chi from Kyoto. Ji Wan followed behind Chi Wenyan, wondering if he would have received such treatment if it weren't for the passionate moment last night.
As I got into Chi Wenyan’s car, a pleasant scent of agarwood wafted into my nose.
This fragrance is very suitable for Chi Wenyan.
"last night"
"I'm not a good drinker. If I cause you any trouble, I can pay you financial compensation."
The two spoke in unison, but the first one was interrupted by the second one before he could finish his sentence.
Ji Wan was about to pay when he saw Chi Wenyan's hands tightly gripping the steering wheel.
His fair hands were covered with blue veins, and I wonder how much strength he used.
"Don't worry, Miss Ji, I'm fine. It's you who's not feeling well, so you'd better take a day off."
There was always a feeling of competition between them, but unfortunately the two of them didn't notice it.
"Don't worry, I'm in good health."
Ji Wan thought of something, leaned forward and whispered into Chi Wenyan's ear.
The warm and sweet breath sprayed in his ears. Chi Wenyan felt itchy in his ears and couldn't help but want to scratch them with his hands.
"Chi Wenyan, last night you..." Ji Wan murmured softly and whispered something into Wen Chiyan's ear.
Then she looked at Chi Wenyan and saw his ears blushing.
"I brought it."
Ji Wan breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay to bring the baby. She didn't want to get pregnant now. Besides, she and Chi Wenyan were just a fleeting romance.
After the cooperation ended, we each went our separate ways.
Chi Wenyan looked at Ji Wan's expression in the rearview mirror, and when he saw that she was relieved, he couldn't help but pursed his lips.
The car drove all the way and soon arrived at the city center.
Ji Wan looked at his phone with a serious expression.
Liu Yu sent her a message saying that the results of the bloodstain identification could be released a few days in advance, so she didn't need to be so anxious.
Ji Wan was certain in her heart that she was indeed anxious, but she also knew that being anxious would not solve the problem.
Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.
"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
"fine."
Chi Wenyan found a place to park the car. Ji Wan got out of the car, waved goodbye, and then disappeared into the crowd.
…
company.
"Vice President Zhou has left the company?"
"He said he was going on a business trip, but I don't know when he'll be back. Vice President Zhou usually leaves for half a year."
"Maybe you feel there's no future in our company?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. The new employees might not have realized it, but the old employees could feel it.
The company seems to be getting worse and worse. Sometimes it can only pay half of the salary. Some people are already itching to leave and have even contacted headhunters.
If it weren't for Vice President Zhou's hard work, the company might have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Should we quit? I've been here two years and haven't taken on any big projects. I'm thinking of getting some experience after graduation."
"It's actually not bad this way. There aren't any big projects, but at least it's stable. Promotions and raises are out of the question, but the salary isn't too little to live on."
The hall was already noisy in the morning, and there was constant whispering in the tea room. Ji Wan even felt like he had entered the entrance of a village.
If a dog goes in, people will talk about it.
When Ji Wan came in, he was still smiling, but for some reason, his aura seemed to change suddenly.
"Everyone, now that you've had enough of chatting and drinking, let's get back to work."
The scene was quiet for a while, and everyone looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Ji Wanhui suddenly started to speak.
What qualifications does a department manager of a development department have to command the group?
"If you still want to get promoted and get a raise, you should hurry up and improve your work efficiency. Vice President Zhou's departure doesn't mean the shareholders or the top management will collapse. If they collapse, can you still work here?"
"If you're thinking of leaving, think about it carefully. You've already invested two years of energy in the company. If you work hard, you might even get promoted."
Ji Wan's expression was indifferent, but her words were firm. If someone else said this, others would not believe it, but as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, Ji Wan's words still carried weight.
Now that Zhou Zechuan is gone, the company is still Ji Wan's, so the sooner he can curry favor with him, the better.
