Chapter 43: Coaxing People
The girl's soft cheek was pressed against his legs, squeezed to the point of being slightly deformed, and her hair brushed against his body. The space was closed, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance, which he couldn't tell whether it was body odor or shampoo.
Lu Zhouyan lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was still resting on his legs, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
"I've had a good rest." Three or four minutes later, Lu Zhouyan spoke, his voice cold and a little hoarse.
He had already called his people when he was in the hotel, and they should have arrived by now.
Without waiting for Sheng Baili to say anything, Lu Zhouyan took the initiative to push her head away with his hand. As if he had been patient for a long time, Lu Zhouyan opened the door and walked out.
[Detected that the male protagonist's favorability has increased by +2, and now a truth card is dropped. 】
[Truth card, the user will tell the true thoughts in his heart, time limit is 5 minutes, can only be used once.]
[The card has been sent, please check it carefully. ]
......
"Can we go now?" Sheng Baili looked around and didn't see anyone strange.
"Hmm." Lu Zhouyan said, "Do you like any of these clothes?"
Sheng Baili was at a loss: ""
She subconsciously glanced at the clothes around her, which were of the girlish style.
Her eyes paused for a moment on a one-shoulder, hip-hugging knitted long skirt.
Lu Zhouyan followed her line of sight and said to the waitress, "Let's go with that one."
"And those few, pack them all up." Lu Zhouyan made a quick choice based on how long the secretary's gaze stayed on them.
The shopping guide packed the clothes with a smile.
Lu Zhouyan left the mall holding the shopping bag in his left hand and holding the still confused secretary in his right hand.
The car was waiting outside. As soon as the door closed, Lu Zhouyan put the bag in the middle and said, "This is for you."
Sheng Baili: "Ah? Oh, thank you."
The black car sped along in the pitch-black night and first sent Sheng Baili back to S University.
She returned to the dormitory at 10 o'clock and took a shower at 10:30. Sheng Baili tried on several pieces of clothes bought by Lu Zhouyan, including a top, a jacket, jeans and a skirt.
Each piece fits surprisingly well.
[New clothes to wear, little Baili! ]
Sheng Baili snorted: "It's much more reliable than the one you bought!"
Haicha: “0.0”
After tossing and turning for a while, it was almost twelve o'clock when I went to bed.
Sheng Baili started a game and led the whole audience with his Marco Polo performance.
“Show time!”
After getting the four kills, Sheng Baili shouted this sentence. The next second, the lights in the dormitory went out.
Seeing that Sheng Baili still wanted to continue playing games in the dark.
Haicha reminded her, "Host, you still have a card, you can use it to turn off the light. If you play with your phone, you will go blind."
That makes sense.
[Okay, then I'll use the "MianshiTianjinCard" to upgrade the lights in the dormitory.] Sheng Baili said the password.
[OK, received the instruction, activating the card for you. ]
Two seconds later, the dark dormitory was illuminated again.
The light was even brighter than before.
Sheng Baili: Wow wow wow!
After sighing, "What's the difference between this and super powers?", she lowered her head and continued fighting.
Linwan Mansion at twelve o'clock.
The room was brightly lit.
With more and more work to do, and having done little all night, Lu Zhouyan plans to work overtime tonight to finish his work.
The light is soft and easy on the eyes, so he won't feel tired even if he works all night.
Lu Zhouyan sat in the chair and turned on the computer.
[Sizzle—]
All the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the originally bright room fell into darkness.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
This secretary also affected his work.
The faint blue light from the computer reflected on his face, appearing somewhat penetrating.
Lu Zhouyan stared at a point in the sky expressionlessly, pondered for a few minutes, and then twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.
never mind.
Lu Zhouyan simply packed his things and drove to the company.
The lights in the president's office on the top floor of Zhou Chi were turned on at dawn.
It was not dark all night.
-
"Good morning, Secretary Sheng."
"Good morning."
......
Sheng Baili said hello and returned to her workstation. Although she played very late last night, she was not very sleepy this morning, perhaps because she slept too much during the day.
Everyone in the company gathered together to discuss something, and they all looked happy.
Sheng Baili was curious and took out his cell phone to take a look.
Wow, Lu Zhouyan made a statement early this morning!
[V Lu Zhouyan: Hello everyone, I am Lu Zhouyan. Recently, the false rumors about me and @季蘇蘇susu have caused unnecessary attention and discussion on the Internet. Here, I solemnly explain the following points......]
Lu Zhouyan clearly stated on his personal Weibo that he has no relationship or feelings with Ji Susu. Please do not pay too much attention to his private life, and look forward to the interactive community dating software "Xinyu" that Zhouchi will soon launch.
The words were spoken in an official and flawless manner, leaving nothing to be criticized.
Moreover, all the hot search terms from last night were removed, Zhou Chimai’s internet trolls started to operate, and the direction of public opinion suddenly changed.
Sheng Baili watched intently. She was so busy playing games last night that she didn't even realize such a big thing had happened.
In addition, there is another high-ranking term on the hot search.
#Zhouchi acquires Kwai Fong
Sheng Baili was surprised again and again after eating it.
[As the secretary of the CEO, you are so late with the news, Xiao Baili. ]
"No, it's because I've been busy with the annual meeting recently. I'm too busy, okay?" Sheng Baili argued.
She had thought carefully about the programs for the annual meeting and distributed questionnaires to solicit everyone's opinions. In the end, she decided to hire outsiders to perform singing and dancing to save the trouble for the workers.
[But if Zhou Chi really acquires Kui Qian, your account can be unblocked.] Haicha said.
When talking about banned accounts, she couldn't help but think of Lu Jiayu.
It's a broken company. It's better to close it down sooner rather than later.
Xiaochi was out on a business trip today and was not in the company. Sheng Baili sorted out the documents to be submitted and pushed open the door of the president's office.
""
A familiar figure was lying in front of the desk in the office.
Why is Lu Zhouyan here?
Sheng Baili was surprised for a second.
He usually hasn't arrived at the company at this time.
The window was opened a little, and cold wind blew in. Sheng Baili was accidentally blown in and shivered.
She tiptoed to the desk and gently put the folder down.
Before leaving, Sheng Baili glanced at Lu Zhouyan who was lying on his stomach and sleeping.
She felt something was wrong at first sight. The half of Lu Zhou's face that was exposed was abnormally flushed.
Sheng Baili called his name softly.
"Hmm" the voice is as deep and sexy as ever.
But the nasal tone is quite strong.
Sheng Baili frowned and reached out to touch his forehead.
So hot!
"Lu Zhouyan." Sheng Baili called him by his full name, "You have a fever, wake up."
Lu Zhouyan slowly opened his eyelids, but there was no sign of discomfort or pain on his face.
"It's okay." Lu Zhouyan didn't care much, "Just take some medicine."
Sheng Baili: “….”
Doesn't this person take his own body seriously?
"What time did you go to bed last night?" Sheng Baili asked.
"Hmm." Lu Zhouyan thought for a second, "I went to bed at eight o'clock."
Sheng Baili: ""
That's only one hour of sleep!
"Go back and have some rest, okay?" Sheng Baili lowered his voice, as if to coax someone, "Xiao Chi said that you worked day and night in Port A. Why don't you sleep well after you come back? You left the window open last night and let the cold wind blow all night. Was it to refresh yourself? Now you have a fever..."
Lu Zhouyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Sheng Baili was afraid that he would still insist, so he quickly said, "If you don't go home to see a doctor, I will call Aunt Zhang and ask her to take care of you. Your health is the capital of the revolution, and money is endless. You are exhausted and have a fever."
I also learned how to complain.
The corners of Lu Zhouyan's mouth twitched, and his slightly flushed cheeks formed an extreme contrast with his calm and self-controlled eyes, looking a little lustful.
"Okay." Lu Zhouyan stood up. For a moment, his head was spinning. He swayed and was supported by Sheng Baili with a worried look on his face.
"Boss, I've called a taxi for you. I'll take you to the door," said Sheng Baili.
Lu Zhouyan tilted his head and coughed lightly, then walked to the company gate with Sheng Baili.
"Then I..." left.
They were silent all the way, and Lu Zhouyan glanced at the secretary before getting in the car.
"......"
The secretary's face was pale, her lips were very pale, and she was holding her stomach, looking a little ugly.
So fragile that it seems like it will disappear in the next second.
So quickly, he infected his secretary
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhouyan asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
It was just a sudden onset of dysmenorrhea and cramping in her lower abdomen. The pain was so severe that she couldn't speak all the way. She endured the discomfort and walked Lu Zhouyan to the door.
"It's okay." Sheng Baili said.
It didn't look like everything was going to be alright, as the driver in front was urging them to get on the bus. It was rush hour and there were a lot of cars on the road.
Without saying anything more, Lu Zhouyan asked Sheng Baili to get in the car, and the two of them went back to Linwan Mansion together.
After getting in the car, Sheng Baili curled up in the corner, her hands pressed in front of her stomach, her long and thick eyelashes drooping, occasionally trembling like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Lu Zhouyan: "Do you have a stomachache?"
"......dysmenorrhea." Sheng Baili said.
[It's probably because I ate too much ice cream before, and I caught a cold lying on the grass in the breeze, plus I stayed up late last night and my immunity dropped.] Haicha analyzed, [She said she didn't have dysmenorrhea, but now she's suffering.]
Sheng Baili half-closed her eyes and listened to the scolding. Haicha looked at her fragile face and couldn't bear to say anything more.
An hour later, the two returned to Linwan Mansion.
Aunt Zhang and several doctors had been waiting inside for a long time.
"Oh, how come you got yourself so messed up again?" Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh and told Lu Zhouyan to lie down on the bed quickly.
The uncomfortable feeling subsided a little, and Sheng Baili also went over to take a look.
Lu Zhouyan just took his temperature.
39.1°
I'm really going to be burned out.
Lu Zhouyan was unwilling to have the injection, so the doctor prescribed some antipyretic medicine and left.
"If the fever doesn't go away, please contact me anytime."
Sheng Baili followed Aunt Zhang to see the doctor off, feeling a little confused.
"Aunt Zhang, why doesn't Mr. Lu want to get the injection? Why don't you try to persuade him?" Sheng Baili said.
"Oh." Aunt Zhang sighed, "This child has a shadow over injections."
Aunt Zhang frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally told Sheng Baili in a low voice.
"When Young Master Lu was a child, he was kidnapped. However, his parents were both abroad at the time, and Old Master Lu was busy with business. It was a long time before Young Master Lu was discovered missing."
"I don't know the exact reason, I just know that when the child was found, his arms and calves..." Aunt Zhang felt a little terrified when she thought of the scene, "There were pinholes all over them, it seems that Young Master Lu was sent to a mental hospital and abused..."
"Not many people know about this, and my wife and husband don't want us to talk about it." Aunt Zhang spoke in a lower and lower voice, "Don't tell anyone else."
Sheng Baili recovered from his shock and nodded seriously.
"Xiao Li." Aunt Zhang called her, "I have to go to the kindergarten to participate in the sports meeting with my granddaughter, and there will be a dinner party with other children in the evening."
"I took a leave a few days ago." Aunt Zhang said, "Do you have time to take care of Mr. Lu at home?"
"Okay, I should." Sheng Baili agreed, "Then Aunt Zhang, you should go quickly."
After Aunt Zhang left, the house suddenly became very empty and quiet.
Sheng Baili poured a cup of warm water and entered the room.
As expected, due to severe lack of sleep, Lu Zhouyan had fallen asleep by now.
Sheng Baili gently placed the glass of water next to the table. At this moment, Bao Bao suddenly came in from the crack of the door and rubbed Sheng Baili's leg with her furry little head.
Sheng Baili's heart was about to melt. She touched the cat's head with her hand. Baobao made a comfortable hum and then jumped onto the bed.
Sheng Baili held the cat down to prevent it from disturbing the sleeping patient. There happened to be a chair nearby, and Sheng Baili sat on it, wrapped her arms around the cat, resting her head on her right hand, and played with the cat silently for a while.
Bao Bao was very well behaved. After being embraced by her, he didn't move at all. His beautiful eyes like glass beads stared at her, as if he could read people's minds.
.......
More than an hour later, Lu Zhouyan opened his eyes and gradually became conscious.
As soon as he opened his eyelids, he noticed a figure lying on the side of the bed.
The secretary used her arms as pillows and slept with her head on the side. The faint light shone on her face, and her delicate features were coated with a layer of glittering gold. Her rosy lips were slightly open, her breathing was even and slow, her eyebrows were relaxed, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.
Not sleeping at night and sleeping during the day, this is a reversed schedule.
Lu Zhouyan sat up from the bed, and the sound of the quilt rustling woke Sheng Baili up.
"Lu, Mr. Lu." The secretary just woke up and said softly, "You are awake."
Sheng Baili immediately stood up to get the thermometer and poured another cup of warm water.
"Drink some water." Sheng Baili put the water to his mouth.
She looked at the measured temperature and frowned.
It didn't drop much.
“Buzz——”
Lu Zhouyan's phone vibrated.
"Hello, Mom." Maybe because he had just finished drinking water, Lu Zhouyan's voice was not too hoarse, but had a metallic texture.
Shen Qiuli was stunned for a second when he heard the unusual voice, then he went straight to the point and said, "Zhou Yan, I heard that you want to acquire Kui Qian."
"Don't you know that Lu Jiayu is in charge of Kuiqian now? Why are you buying his company?" Shen Qiuli accused him. "Grandpa heard the news this morning and was very dissatisfied with you."
"Why are you rushing to make grandpa unhappy?" Shen Qiuli's tone became more aggressive as he spoke.
"I just can't bear to see the company destroyed by Lu Jiayu." Lu Zhouyan said succinctly, "Well, there is also Lu Yuanjia."
"How dare you talk about Yuanjia?" Shen Qiuli questioned him, "You've put too much pressure on Yuanjia these days. He works overtime until eight or nine every day, and he caught a cold a few days ago!"
Lu Zhouyan said "oh" nonchalantly.
"We'll have a family dinner this Friday. Zhou Yan, listen to me. Come back and apologize to them. Then be a good boy to your grandfather. Wouldn't it be better for you to continue working at Lu's?"
Lu Zhouyan found it funny. Did his mother still think he was gamble?
"No time." Lu Zhouyan said casually, "I'm busy."
Shen Qiuli spoke loudly, and Sheng Baili stood nearby and basically heard the whole thing.
"Boss Lu," Sheng Baili suddenly said, "Why are you still working when you have a fever of 39 degrees? Lie down and rest. Your health is important. You've been staying up all night and your body is about to collapse!"
Sheng Baili raised his voice to make sure Shen Qiuli on the other end of the phone could hear him.
"Mr. Lu, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again? Lie down quickly, lie down quickly." Sheng Baili said with great concern.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
Shen Qiuli was stunned and asked, "Do you have a fever?"
Lu Zhouyan: “Yeah.”
"Okay, then you should have a good rest and remember to attend the family dinner."
After saying this, Shen Qiuli hung up the phone.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
[Why did they specifically bring up Lu Yuanjia's cold, but didn't they care about Lu Zhouyan's high fever?]
[Is it really that important whether they are biological children? I am shocked. Why do you treat Lu Zhouyan like this?]
[How ridiculous! I just wanted Lu Zhouyan to apologize.]
[Is Lu Yuanjia working overtime until 8 or 9 o'clock too late? Lu Zhouyan works until 8 o'clock in the morning.]
[The nasal tone is very obvious, and it can be heard that he has a cold. Why does Shen Qiuli ignore Lu Zhouyan? He is so biased...]
[I feel really sorry for her. Being sick makes one feel vulnerable, and yet she still says these things.]
.......
Lu Zhouyan looked at the secretary who was sitting there, staring at the thermometer and repeatedly confirming the temperature, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
[The male protagonist's favorability towards the host has been detected +2, and the host is now dropping a card as a reward. 】
[Panacea card, cures all diseases (limited to diseases that do not require surgery), can only be used once.]
Eh!
Sheng Baili was surprised for a moment. This medicine came at the right time.
【I want to use the "Panacea Card". 】
[Wait——] Haicha interrupted her, [Host, are you going to give it to the male protagonist? But if you give it to him, he won't know that you helped him. You can use this card on yourself.]
[Don’t you have hypoglycemia or anemia?] Haicha said.
"Hmm..." Sheng Baili paused. She didn't think about herself.
[But my illness is not serious and has no impact on my life.] Sheng Baili said, [Lu Zhouyan is feeling very uncomfortable now, and I originally had this card because of him.]
[Let's give it to him.] Sheng Baili glanced at the thermometer and made a quick decision.
[OK, the "Panacea Card" is taking effect, please wait. ]
After a while, a cool and refreshing breath surrounded Lu Zhouyan.
In just a minute, he felt refreshed and energized, and the dizziness was gone.
Secretary, use the skill card on him
Sheng Baili took his temperature again as if nothing had happened, and it was normal!
"Boss, you don't have a fever anymore." She said happily while holding the thermometer, as if she really cared about his health. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
Sheng Baili raised his eyes and met Lu Zhouyan's cold and deep pupils.
It was like falling into a lake filled with stars.
Sheng Baili blinked.
His low and tender voice rang in my ears.
"Yeah, it's not uncomfortable." Lu Zhouyan's Adam's apple rolled a few times and he seemed to smile.
"Thank you Secretary Sheng for your care."
