Before Yan Zhi could finish speaking, Leng Linli interrupted her in a cold voice: "Reason."
Yan Zhi paused for a moment and said, "The project I'm working on isn't finished yet..."
Leng Linli interrupted again, a cold smirk playing on his lips: "Then transfer the project you're handling to Secretary Sang. As for you and Huasheng, since your computer isn't broken, you can have Secretary Sang complete that data."
When Sang Lishu heard President Leng say that Yan Zhi wanted to transfer the project she was in to her, her eyes lit up. Was President Leng trying to sideline Yan Zhi?
Sang Lishu used to think that President Leng was biased, but now she thinks that President Leng is very fair!
As she thought about it, Sang Lishu was filled with regret. She really shouldn't have poured water on Yan Zhi's computer. Now she had to fill in the data herself. According to Su Rao's complaints, Yan Zhi had spent two days working on that data!
Sang Lishu regretted it; she had truly tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!
Yan Zhi really didn't want to work on the Huasheng project. She would rather work on several other projects than work on Huasheng.
"President Leng, I'm about to resign. I'm really not up to the task and am not suited to this kind of big project. Why don't you hand it over to someone else?" Yan Zhi tried to persuade him.
He's resigned again!
His cold, sharp eyes narrowed suddenly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority: "I don't want to repeat myself, this project is your responsibility. Your abilities go far beyond this."
Yan Zhi pursed her lips, feeling bitter inside.
Seeing Yan Zhi remain silent, Leng Linli turned to Sang Lishu and said, "Secretary Sang, you should hand over the work that Secretary Yan is currently handling as soon as possible."
"Yes, President Leng." Sang Lishu replied with a light smile. She would definitely hand over the work as quickly as possible; even a second's delay could risk ruining the deal.
After saying that, Leng Linli turned and went back to his office. Before leaving, he glanced at Yan Zhi, who was still silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Leng Linli didn't understand what Yan Zhi was resisting, as she wasn't usually the type to shirk responsibility.
This time, they even used resignation as an excuse.
Seeing Leng Linli enter the office, Sang Lishu revealed a victorious smile. She went to Yan Zhi's side, her face beaming with joy: "Secretary Yan, let's hand over the work."
Yan Zhi raised her eyes, concealing the emotions within them, and replied calmly, "Okay."
Sang Lishu glanced at Yan Zhi and saw that she looked calm and not disappointed. She didn't bother to care, since Yan Zhi's projects were now all hers.
As the handover concluded, Sang Lishu couldn't resist a veiled jab at Yan Zhi: "Then thank you, Secretary Yan, for planting the seeds of this legacy."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhi's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't want to refute Sang Lishu's words and sat quietly.
Yan Zhi wasn't saying she was reluctant to give up the projects she'd entrusted to Sang Lishu, it's just that Huasheng...
Yan Zhi sighed. What's meant to happen can't be avoided.
Su Rao moved closer to Yan Zhi: "Is there something wrong with you?"
Yan Zhi forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly: "No."
Su Rao looked worried: "Your expression doesn't say that."
"I understand, it's your period." Yan Zhi smiled gently, her expression somewhat somber.
Although Su Rao suspected something was amiss, she nodded. If Yan Zhi didn't want to talk about it, then she wouldn't. She would naturally tell her when she was ready.
As Yan Zhi packed her things after get off work, she said to Su Rao, "See you tomorrow."
Su Rao and Yan Zhi exchanged a glance: "See you tomorrow."
After Yan Zhi left, Su Rao turned back to look at Yan Zhi's back, a faint worry in her heart.
Yan Zhi looked like she had something on her mind.
Having learned from her earlier experience, and fearing being seen by her colleagues, Yan Zhi called her driver and asked him to pick up Leng Linli first. She then walked to a place far from the company and waited for the driver to take her back to her old house.
Yan Zhi waited for half an hour before the driver arrived. When she opened the car door, she saw Bai Lian and Leng Linli sitting in the back seat.
Is Bai Lian still staying at the old house tonight?
Just as Yan Zhi was lost in thought, the driver called to her, "Young Madam, please get in the car."
"Okay." Yan Zhi got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
The car remained quiet throughout the journey.
The car stopped.
Yan Zhi got out of the car first and left, without waiting for Bai Lian and Leng Linli, and went straight into the old house.
After what happened during the day, Bai Lian remained silent the whole way, quietly getting off the bus and heading home.
Leng Linli watched Yan Zhi flee as if escaping, and felt a tightness in his chest.
I got off the bus, my steps heavy.
Leng Linli had only taken a few steps when the driver called out to him from behind, "Mr. Leng!"
Leng Linli glanced sideways, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "Hmm, what is it?"
"Your coat is still on the back seat; it's been there all day," the driver said respectfully.
Leng Linli frowned slightly, recalling the jacket that Bai Lian had brushed against that morning: "Just throw it away."
Such is the behavior of the rich. Mr. Leng wore this suit jacket just this morning and now he doesn't want it anymore. That's what the driver thought, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Yes, Mr. Leng," the driver replied respectfully.
Leng Linli turned and went back to the old house. The driver picked up the suit jacket from the back seat and said with a regretful look, "It's such a pity that such a nice piece of clothing has been lost!"
The driver carefully put away the suit jacket. Since Boss Leng had told him to throw it away anyway, he might as well keep it for his son who was about to graduate from university, so that he would have a decent outfit when he looked for a job.
That evening, Yan Zhi sent Su Rao a WeChat message: [Su Rao, I forgot to tell you during the day that I actually backed up the data I prepared. Should I send the data to Sang Lishu now?]
Leng Linli was sleeping next to Yan Zhi when, before Yan Zhi could turn off the light and go to sleep, he received a WeChat message from Yan Zhi to Su Rao.
Leng Linli opened WeChat, and after seeing the message, his eyes subtly swept over Yan Zhi's expression. He then turned slightly to the side, covering his phone, and replied: 【Do you want to send this to her?】
Yan Zhi paused for a moment, then replied: [To be honest, I don't really want to. She flooded my computer today, but if I don't post it, it will harm the company's interests.]
Just as Yan Zhi sent the message, she heard Leng Linli's phone ring. It was a WeChat message notification. Leng Linli had his back to her and seemed to be looking at his phone.
Yan Zhi was puzzled. Leng Linli seemed to be typing. He actually knew how to use a mobile phone?
Are you messaging Bai Lian?
The reply came back: "Then don't send it. Let Sang Lishu do the data herself; consider it a lesson for her."
Yan Zhi replied: 【Okay.】
Just as Yan Zhi sent the message, a cold and sharp WeChat notification sound rang out again.
Su Rao's message arrived quickly and at just the right time: "Baby, aren't you asleep yet?"
Yan Zhi: [Getting ready to sleep.]
The message was sent, and Leng Linli's phone rang again! Yan Zhi heard a sound beside her and looked up at Leng Linli. Who was he messaging?
The timing of his phone ringing coincided quite well with the time she sent the message. If their relationship hadn't been strained at the moment, Yan Zhi would have thought Leng Linli was texting her.
