Back at his workstation, Xing Zhao was still feeling smug about his recent victory.

"Boss, their expressions just now were amazing. I really regret not recording them."

"Why record it? It can't be eaten." Liu Huanyi yawned, got up and went to the tea room to make coffee.

She has recently become addicted to coffee and likes the bitter taste. It can refresh her mind and quench her thirst. She has a cup before work every day.

Usually there are not many people in the tea room at this time, so Liu Huanyi can use the coffee machine alone, but he didn't expect that there was another person there today.

Huo Yuli turned around with his coffee in his hand and bumped into Liu Huanyi's eyes. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, "You come for coffee too?"

Liu Huanyi nodded, and he immediately handed her his cup.

"Then this cup is for you. I just made it."

The coffee made by Huo Yuli was very fragrant. Liu Huanyi did not refuse and took it directly, thanking him softly.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. You've worked hard these past few days."

"fine."

Liu Huanyi took a sip of the coffee and found it had a rich and mellow aroma that could not be compared to instant coffee.

"Thank you for not favoring your employees just now. You are still a very upright boss."

Huo Yuli chuckled, "Aren't you also my employee?"

"Temporary worker." Liu Huanyi corrected, "I don't plan to work for you forever."

"You can consider it." Huo Yuli held the coffee and motioned for her to sit down and chat.

Liu Huanyi had nothing to do, so he just chatted.

"There's no news from Jiang Siyu yet. You'd better be careful recently and don't let your guard down."

"Yes, I know."

She has guards every day when she goes in and out.”

Liu Huanyi guessed that Jiang Siyu must have been in contact with Jiang Xiaoluo's parents, but Jiang Xiaoluo's side was in chaos now, and she couldn't add to the trouble, so she could only investigate on her own.

As long as Jiang Siyu doesn't cause trouble for her, she can pretend that this person doesn't exist for the time being.

"Being on guard is not enough. You can tell from what she did before how extreme she is. Why don't you find a friend to stay at your house and keep you company."

Huo Yuli was thinking of Hu Die, while Liu Huan was thinking of Feng Yu.

"I'll discuss it with my friends."

While Hu Die and Xing Zhao were still arguing about what to eat for lunch, Wei Zhou silently took out a bag of coffee beans from his bag. He had specially bought them yesterday. Thinking that Liu Huanyi loved drinking coffee recently, he bought her the best coffee beans.

Wei Zhou walked to the tea room with coffee beans in his arms. He was thinking about how to tell her when he heard Huo Yuli's voice coming from inside.

I don't know what they were talking about, but they seemed to be having a great time, and even heard the sound of clinking glasses.

Wei Zhou retreated a little.

They seemed to be having a good chat, so his entry would have seemed unnecessary.

Wei Zhou went back sadly holding the coffee beans. Xing Zhao was the only one at his workstation.

"Weren't you going to deliver coffee beans to the boss? Why are you back again?"

Hu Die went to the toilet. Xing Zhao was bored and came up to him. Seeing his miserable face, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you break up?"

"……No."

Wei Zhou turned his face away, not wanting Xing Zhao to see his lost look.

But Xing Zhao had already seen his expression, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Hey, isn't it just a broken heart? Is there any need to be so sad?"

"Who is heartbroken?" Wei Zhou hastily denied, "I, I——"

It was clearly a secret crush on him, and he didn't have time to give up.

"I understand you. It's useless to be sad about this kind of thing. You might as well look at it more positively."

Wei Zhou saw that what he said made sense, and the thought of confiding in him flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Forget it, you won't understand. You don't even have someone you like."

"Who said I didn't?" Xing Zhao smiled bitterly.

Wei Zhou's eyes widened in surprise, "You have?!"

Xing Zhao usually looks heartless and careless, but he actually has a crush on someone.

"Want to know?"

"think."

Between gossip and sadness, Wei Zhou chose gossip.

Xing Zhao said mysteriously, "It's a secret. I can't tell you now. Come with me for a drink tonight and we can talk over the table."

"good."

Wei Zhou agreed immediately, but someone suddenly appeared behind him.

"Okay, you guys go play with the boss behind my back!" Hu Die put her hands on her hips and said threateningly, "I'm going to tell the boss!"

Xing Zhao hooked his arm around Wei Zhou's shoulders and said, "Tonight is a gathering for us men."

"Tsk, are you going to that kind of place?" Hu Die narrowed her eyes and acted disgusted, "How disgusting."

Wei Zhou was afraid that she would say something wrong to Liu Huanyi, so he quickly said, "Hu Die, don't let your mind wander. Let's just go and have a chat."

"It's even more suspicious if you don't talk to me and the boss. No, I still have to tell the boss."

Hu Die turned around and was about to run, and happened to bump into Liu Huanyi who was returning.

She had a half-drunk cup of coffee in her hand and she nearly spilled it.

"Slow down." Liu Huanyi frowned, "Don't be so impatient in other people's company."

"Sorry, boss. Did I burn you?"

Hu Die quickly pulled her hand over to check.

"No."

Liu Huanyi put down the cup and glanced at them, "What are you doing?"

Hu Die was just looking for an opportunity to report, and immediately pointed at Wei Zhou and Xing Zhao and said, "Boss! They are the ones who want to leave us alone to play, hurry up and condemn them with me!"

"We didn't go out to play, we just chatted and drank." Xing Zhao raised his hand to swear, and said with a smile: "Boss, we are three good citizens, we will never dare to break the law."

Wei Zhou also nodded, "We just chat, nothing else."

"If you don't want to do anything else, why don't you take me and the boss with you? Or is it that the boss and I can't listen to what you are talking about?" Hu Die wanted to twist Xing Zhao's ears, but Xing Zhao dodged her.

"You can't touch me~" Xing Zhao blinked proudly.

Hu Die stepped on his shoe and raised an eyebrow, "Here we are."

"You woman... are so vicious..." Xing Zhao held his feet and gasped, while Hu Die shook his head triumphantly.

Liu Huanyi was annoyed by their noise and asked them to be quiet.

"Just go ahead. I don't have time even if you ask me to go out and play."

"Ah? Why, Boss? Haven't we finished the first phase of the work?"

In order to maintain consistent progress, although their group completed the first stage of work, they still had to stop and wait for other groups. Otherwise, the progress of each group would be different and the results would be very different.

Therefore, their work this week is very easy, and they just need to do daily system maintenance.

"Private matter."

Liu Huanyi turned on his computer and was not in the mood to chat with them anymore.

Hu Die and Xing Zhao were still arguing. Wei Zhou would usually go over to chat with them, but today he was in no mood at all.

Needless to say, Liu Huanyi will definitely go out with Huo Yuli again tonight.

Wei Zhou stuffed the coffee beans back into his bag. The coffee beans that could not be given away were like his heart, and their final destination was the trash can.
