Chapter 35: Do I need to tell you about our relationship?

"Secretary Li, aren't you getting out of the car?"

Li Mai looked at Zhou Songyan's face and wanted to slap him.

She looked around and, seeing that no one was passing by, she opened the car door and got out.

Just as he was about to lift his foot.

A delicate shout came from the side.

"Li Mai! Why did you get out of Song Yan's car?"

Ji Yunshan rushed up to her in her high heels.

Ji Yunshan knew it was Zhou Songyan's car because she had followed him. That day, Zhou Songyan happened to be driving this car, and she even remembered the license plate number.

Li Mai gritted her teeth, stood still, turned her head and forced a formulaic smile.

"Miss Ji, you've arrived."

Ji Yunshan angrily said, "I'm asking you a question! How did you get out of Songyan's car? What's your relationship with him? Are you trying to seduce the Crown Prince?"

Li Mai rubbed his forehead.

I'm speechless about this young lady.

She's not Zhou Songyan's wife or girlfriend, is it appropriate to question her like that?

People passing by stopped to look at them.

Li Mai was about to speak.

Zhou Songyan got out of the car.

The tall figure walked up to Li Mai and glanced at Ji Yunshan: "Miss Ji, what's wrong with Secretary Li getting out of my car? What's it to you?"

Ji Yunshan: "..."

This was the first time she had been so close to Zhou Songyan, and her face flushed.

"Brother Songyan..."

Zhou Songyan interrupted her: "Miss Ji, don't call me that. I'm not familiar with you."

With many eyes watching, Ji Yunshan looked embarrassed.

She bit her lip and changed her question: "President Zhou, what is your relationship with Li Mai?"

Li Mai looked at Zhou Songyan nervously, afraid that he would say something inappropriate.

Zhou Songyan glanced at her, somewhat displeased.

He was unhappy, so he took his anger out on Ji Yunshan.

"Who are you? Do I need to tell you what our relationship is?"

If he weren't afraid that Li Mai would get angry and completely ignore him, Zhou Songyan would have liked to openly hug Li Mai and say that she was his woman.

Ji Yunshan's eyes were red.

"Mr. Zhou, how can you speak so harshly to a girl? You're not gentle at all!"

Zhou Songyan's face was cold.

"Haven't I always been like this?"

Ji Yunshan: "..."

Yes, Zhou Songyan is ruthless to all the women he sends to him.

She simply confessed her feelings to him, and he called the police to arrest her, causing her to lose face completely.

Not only did she spend the night at the police station, but when she got home, her father scolded her severely and even canceled all her credit cards.

She also heard that the Zhou family had arranged eight blind dates for him at the same time.

As a result, he found fault with all eight women, criticizing them and making them all cry.

Ji Yunshan was afraid of Zhou Songyan.

No matter how much she likes him, her pride can't take it.

She glared at Li Mai and walked towards the Ji's Building in her high heels.

Li Mai didn't want to stand there and be pointed at by everyone any longer, so she quickly ran into the building.

Zhou Songyan watched her run faster than a rabbit and smiled.

Li Mai lingered for a while, letting Ji Yunshan go up before pressing the elevator button.

Back to the seventeenth floor.

She knocked on Ji Wangyu's office door.

"Come in."

Ji Wangyu's voice came from inside.

Li Mai opened the door and went in, then closed it behind her.

"President Ji."

Ji Wangyu signed a document, looked up at her, his eyes dark and deep.

Li Mai didn't notice.

"Mr. Ji, is there any work for me?"

Ji Wangyu handed her a document: "Organize it."

Li Mai took it: "When does President Ji need it?"

"tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Ji, I'll get it sorted out right away."

Li Mai turned to leave, but Ji Wangyu called out to her, "Secretary Li."

Li Mai turned around: "President Ji, is there anything else you need?"

Ji Wangyu got up and walked up to her.

Li Mai paused for a moment.

Ji Wangyu stopped in front of her, and Li Mai felt that the distance between them was a bit too close, so she took a step back.

Ji Wangyu's eyes were injured.

He was thinking that if Li Mai loved him, he might try to win her over.

But Limai doesn't love him.

He asked, "Did Zhou Songyan bring you back?"

Li Mai nodded: "Mm."

"You still want to get back together with him?"

Li Mai frowned.

This is her private matter, and she doesn't really want to talk about it.

Ji Wangyu: "Don't misunderstand, I'm just showing concern for my employee. After all, in this company, you're the only one who's truly on my side."

"I only have you."

Li Mai didn't think much of it.

Although Ji Wangyu is the general manager of Ji's company, he has little real power.

Chairman Ji controls all the power in the Ji family business, and he keeps a close watch on his youngest son, Ji Wangyu, for fear that he might rebel.

Li Mai felt quite sorry for him.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ji. I will always stand by your side."

"Really?"

A hint of vulnerability appeared on Ji Wangyu's face when he asked that question.

Li Mai nodded emphatically.

Ji Wangyu: "If Zhou Songyan asked you to resign and go work for him, would you resign?"

Li Mai shook her head: "No."

Zhou Songyan did indeed bring it up today.

"President Ji, I haven't forgotten that you helped me when I was going through the most difficult time. If you hadn't hired me, I would have had a very hard time."

“I’m not an ungrateful person. Even if I really quit one day, I’ll still help you establish yourself in the Ji family business.”

Ji Wangyu looked at her intently.

This woman is so loyal and devoted!

Actually, when Li Mai first arrived, he gave her a lot of trouble, but this woman managed to pull through.

His previous secretaries didn't last long; they quit after a month or two.

Li Mai persisted the longest.

"Li Mai, thank you!"

"President Ji, I'm the one who should be saying thank you."

Ji Wangyu treated her very well. She hadn't experienced any workplace harassment in the past two years and had a relatively smooth life, all thanks to Ji Wangyu.

She was grateful.

After Li Mai left, Ji Wangyu stood in a daze for a long time.

...

That afternoon.

Li Mai suddenly received a phone call.

She hesitated for a moment before answering, "Brother."

Zheng Anze: "MaiMai, I heard you've gone to work in Beijing."

"Um."

"I'm in Beijing on a business trip, let's meet."

After a moment of silence, Li Mai finally said, "Okay."

“I also want to see Chengcheng. That little guy must have grown up a lot. Tell me your address and I'll take a taxi there.”
