The next day, Zhou Hongyu arrived at the office early, and Chairman Lin was organizing the results of their work over the past few days.
Zhou Hongyu felt very disgusted with Chairman Lin.
In his dream, he was by Qi Fenglian's side, doing many disgusting things with her. When he was alone with her in a space, he felt that the air was polluted and he couldn't breathe properly.
"Xiao Zhou, rewrite these, and make sure your handwriting is neat!"
Chairman Lin was focused on his work. Hearing the noise at the door, he looked up and assigned tasks to Zhou Hongyu.
Even so, he still looks different from the person in my memory.
Zhou Hongyu picked up her pen and finished in a short while. She handed the rewritten paper to Chairman Lin.
“Chairman Lin, I was too impulsive that day. Look at what happened to Tian Tian…”
Qi Fenglian suddenly appeared at the door. After disappearing for three days, she finally decided to come to work.
Qi Fenglian squinted at the two people in the office.
Chairman Lin and Zhou Hongyu?
Early in the morning, a lone man and a lone woman!
Are these two up to something?
She knew it! Chairman Lin suddenly turned his back on her; it turns out he's found a new lover!
Just a few days ago, Chairman Lin was all lovey-dovey with her, displaying a foolish attitude of neglecting his duties for her sake!
"What are you doing...?"
"Make way! There are people blocking the doorway this early in the morning!"
Sister Sun raised her hand and shoved Qi Fenglian hard into the office.
Sister Sun, who considered herself the senior colleague in the office, felt qualified to discipline junior colleagues like Qi Fenglian who didn't do any work. She looked at Chairman Lin and said, "Chairman Lin, Qi Fenglian hasn't come to work these past few days. May I say a few words?"
"Chairman Lin, I didn't..." Qi Fenglian had a bad feeling.
Chairman Lin nodded to Sister Sun.
Sister Sun snorted coldly: "Then I'll have to say something properly. What kind of behavior is this, Qi Fenglian? We're all paid employees. Who's your servant who has to share your work? Are you crippled or are you dying?"
Zhou Hongyu clapped enthusiastically.
Qi Fenglian turned to look at her greatest enemy: "Zhou Hongyu, what do you mean?"
Zhou Hongyu shrugged, her tone cheeky: "Trying to cause me trouble? I just agreed with Sister Sun, do you have a problem with that?"
"you!"
Qi Fenglian finally looked at what she thought was her backer, but Chairman Lin had no intention of speaking up for her.
Qi Fenglian stomped her foot angrily, approached Zhou Hongyu, and said in a low, venomous voice, "Don't be so smug!"
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes at her, "You're crazy!"
On the other side, after confirming that everything was correct, Chairman Lin bypassed Qi Fenglian, who was blocking the road, and left the office with the items.
"Chairman Lin..."
Qi Fenglian quickly took off after him.

"I'm in a great mood today~~ I'm in a great mood today~~"
Until dinner time, Zhou Hongyu was still humming a little tune in a good mood.
Seeing her enter the kitchen, Granny Chang nudged Old Man Chang with her shoulder.
"Old man, does this mean you've managed to borrow money to buy a house? It doesn't look like you borrowed it from the eldest or third son. Could it be from the second son's wife's family?"
Zhou Hongyu has two older brothers and one older sister. All three of them are more outstanding and have better conditions than the unreliable Zhou Hongyu. Their jobs are respectively: a regimental commander in a military unit in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region, a leader of a state-owned enterprise in a special economic zone in the south, and a professor at a university in the northwest.
The Chang family unanimously believes that Chang Rihui's extraordinary talent stems from the three of them.
Old Chang shook his head. His second son's wife had become unusually quiet these past few days, neither making a fuss nor causing any disturbance, so he couldn't tell anything was wrong.
When it was time to eat, Zhou Hongyu had something to announce with a serious face.
“Mom and Dad, Huaying, Shuying, Meiying! Our office has a new work requirement recently, which requires family members who work in the workshop to cooperate with the work. In order to cooperate with the theme of ‘safe production,’ it is unacceptable to have a work attitude like that of my older brother and sister-in-law, who disregard their health!”
The elderly couple from the Chang family nodded: "We will definitely support you!"
Chang Huaying couldn't hold back her words: "Second Aunt, I don't even want to talk about my parents, I can't persuade them. My mother has been covering the day shift for her colleague again. She didn't go, so my father will cover for her for a few days and then switch back."
Zhou Hongyu stared at the Chang family elders: "Mom and Dad, then what about my eldest brother and sister-in-law..."
“They’ll be under our care!” the elderly couple from the Chang family agreed.
Zhou Hongyu smiled and said, "That's right. If anyone doesn't cooperate, I'll definitely give them a good scolding!"
Chang Huaying shivered and drank a few mouthfuls of soup to warm herself up.
Although my second aunt is very fierce, this is the first time I've seen her stop others from doing more work and earning money!
I'm so scared!
Mom and Dad, I can't save you!
When Chang Hongbing and his wife returned from their night shift, they went into their room, tidied up, and got into bed.
Exhausted after working two shifts today, Chang Hongbing closed his eyes and muttered, "Earning just one extra yuan a day almost killed me!"
"What do you mean? Before, I would just go to work two shifts and come here as usual, but now you're the one who's done so much hard work and made great contributions!"
"That's not what I meant at all..."
"You still say you didn't!"
The couple were playfully bickering when there was a knock on the door.
Granny Chang peeked through the crack in the door: "Hongbing, Zhaodi, are you still awake?"
Chen Zhaodi got up and opened the door: "Mom, did we make too much noise and wake you up? We'll be fine in a bit, you should go back to sleep!"
Hmph, she'll keep nagging about the useless Chang Hongbing after the door is closed.
I only covered for her for two days, and she kept talking nonstop!
When Granny Chang saw that it was her daughter-in-law who came out, she poked her head into the room and said, "Where's Hongbing? I want to say a few words to him."
If I tell Chen Zhaodi about this, it'll cause an uproar immediately, and nobody will be able to sleep tonight.
"Mom, you called for me? I'm coming right away, ouch, ouch, ouch..."
She lowered her voice and said the rest of her words, only Chen Zhaodi heard them. She also felt sorry for her husband and turned around to say, "You rest, Mom can tell me if anything happens!"
