"Let me finish this one first, then I'll rest for a day... no, two days!"

"No, unless you call me 'husband'."

"No..." Liang Zhirou turned her face away, puffing out her cheeks as she whimpered.

This man is always trying to take advantage of her.

"Then you can play for another day. Lin Miaomiao isn't working today, so go find her and play."

After Chen Lu finished speaking, he gave her a quick kiss in the air, and said, "I'm leaving now."

Liang Zhirou's hand hovered in mid-air, only slowly falling down when she saw the door slam shut with a bang.

I want to hug you again...

......

When Chen Lu arrived at the company, it was only a little after 7 a.m. Although not everyone had arrived yet, quite a few people had already come.

It can only be said that he is a decent boss, and many employees are even more afraid of the company going bankrupt than he is.

Happy New Year, boss!

As soon as Chen Lu entered the company, he heard several girls from the art team shouting at him in unison.

"How can I be happy if I have to go back to work after only a few days of relaxation?"

After grumbling with a somber expression, he pushed open the door and entered Jiang Chao's office.

Only a few girls were left there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This...this isn't right, is it?"

"Shouldn't we be the ones delivering these lines?"

Seeing Chen Lu like this, the group of people suddenly felt that starting work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year wasn't so bad after all, since the boss seemed to hate going to work even more than they did.

Humans are such strange creatures.

In the office.

Jiang Chao was being held down on the table by Liu Yan as if he had been captured, and he was grimacing and howling in pain.

"I was only gone for one day, and you dared to come home so late? And you didn't even answer my calls!" Liu Yan said angrily, then twisted his arm up, "You thought I couldn't reach you? Didn't expect that, did you? I came back to Hangzhou overnight!"

"Tell me why! Don't make excuses~ I'll only give you three seconds."

Chen Lu gasped in shock, moved to the corner, and was about to take out his phone to record it when he realized he didn't have one.

"I really didn't mean to go back late last night." Jiang Chao hissed with his eyes closed. "When I was about to go back, someone jumped into the river. I watched them struggle for a long time, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down when I got back."

"Could you be any more ridiculous? Why don't you just say you were captured by the Trisolarans?"

Jiang Chao then noticed that Chen Lu was looking at him with schadenfreude, and quickly said, "Ask Chen Lu! He was there!"

Liu Yan looked up at Chen Lu, her expression softening slightly. "Chen Lu, is what he said true?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lu looked at Jiang Chao with a blank expression, deliberately exchanging glances as if to say, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand if you were going to come up with this excuse?"

Liu Yan seemed to understand something all at once.

Jiang Chao's pupils and body were trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with terror.

"Chen Lu, you're such a bastard! Ah—! Gently, gently, your arm is going to break!"
