Just as Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "snap!" Li Duo's pen suddenly fell to the ground.
Wen Shu: "!!!"
With her eyes wide with terror, she watched helplessly as the pen rolled right up to her feet.
Li Duo shifted slightly; he was about to pick up his pen!
Wen Shu gasped for breath.
What are the plans for lunch?
"You will have lunch with Ms. Zhao from Qiqin at noon. There are two meetings in the afternoon. In addition, the board meeting will be held as scheduled from 3 pm to 5 pm. Mr. Li will attend on time."
He was tall and had long legs; with just a slight tilt of his body, his long arms reached the ground.
Wen Shu saw that Wen Shu was touching a pen under the desk and carefully moved the pen closer to his hand.
Li Duo finally gripped the pen tightly. "Well, I've got you!"
Wen Shu: "..."
He successfully got the pen, then rolled his office chair forward, his long legs almost bumping into Wen Shu.
Wen Shu held her breath, staring intently at Li Duo's legs, afraid that his knee might hit her.
Jin Chao had just finished reporting the afternoon's schedule and left when his secretary came in again, "President Li, Miss Zhong has arrived."
Wen Shu looked up. "Miss Zhong?"
Could it be Zhong Wanwan?
"Uncle."
Zhong Wanwan pushed the door open and came in. "It's my dad's birthday banquet tonight. I'm here to deliver the invitation to you on his behalf."
Zhong Wanwan handed the beautifully designed invitation to Li Duo, saying, "This is a task my father gave me; you absolutely must go."
Li Duo glanced at the invitation. "I might not have time tonight."
"Uncle," Zhong Wanwan pursed her lips, "You're not still angry with me because of what happened yesterday, are you? I know I was wrong. I'll never look down on people doing odd jobs outside again. My dad scolded me when we got back. Please forgive me."
Li Duo leaned back. "Do we need to learn from this kind of lesson? Being kind to others is a basic principle of being a person. Do we need to learn that?"
Zhong Wanwan lowered her head and said, "I really know I was wrong. I meant well at the time. I saw Wen Shu sitting in the hall eating and felt that there was a smell of soup everywhere, so I wanted to protect the image of the Li family. I never expected that she would deliberately spill the soup everywhere."
"All you do is lecture me and tell me I'm wrong, but have you ever considered that Wen Shu did it on purpose? She poured gasoline at the Zhong family's house that night, and poured vegetable soup yesterday. Who knows what she'll pour next?"
Wen Shu crouched under the table, closed her eyes and took deep breaths. Zhong Wanwan really went to great lengths to find an opportunity to speak ill of her.
Isn't this woman inherently a bad person?
Zhong Wanwan had better pray that she never fell into her hands in this lifetime, because if she ever did, she would definitely rip off her underwear!
Li Duo raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Wanwan. "Finished? Get out!"
"Uncle, you've been fooled by Wen Shu, haven't you? That woman is a master at using her beauty to bewitch men. Jiang Yuanchao was fooled by her back then. She provided a fake resume, and he was deceived for three years..."
"Is Jiang Yuanchao that self-made young talent?" Li Duo interrupted her and suddenly asked.
Zhong Wanwan lowered her head shyly: "Yes. He has already agreed to get engaged to me, and my uncle will be coming to the wedding banquet."
"What kind of wedding banquet is an engagement?" Li Duo said coldly, "We'll talk about it after the wedding."
Zhong Wanwan bit her lower lip. "Marriage isn't like buying groceries, where you pay and receive the goods at the same time. You have to get to know each other slowly."
Wen Shu didn't want to listen to what they talked about afterward because her feet were numb.
In the limited space, without disturbing Li Duo, she secretly adjusted her posture to relieve the soreness and numbness in her legs.
"President Li, the video conference ends in fifteen minutes!" Jin Chao announced.
Li Duo responded and stood up to leave. Seeing this, Zhong Wanwan had no choice but to stand up as well: "Uncle, if you're too busy, call my dad later, so he won't..."
"Money, money, money! My money, money, money! I want to get rich! My money, money, money..."
Before Zhong Wanwan could finish speaking, a cell phone suddenly rang from her desk, playing a song that was both unpleasant and vulgar.
This couldn't possibly be Li Duo's phone. Zhong Wanwan was so startled that she stood up abruptly. "Uncle, who else is in your office?"
Li Duo sat in his boss's chair, kicking his feet backward, and then met Wen Shu's gaze as she frantically tried to hang up her phone.
Wen Shu: "..."
Li Duo glanced at her and said, "Come out."
She was still wearing the clothes she had worn when she jumped into the river that morning. The clothes were half-dry, and she looked disheveled and pitiful.
She lay down on the ground and obediently crawled out from under the table.
Zhong Wanwan was startled to see a woman crawling out from under the desk. "Ah, Uncle!"
Li Duo looked up: "What are you yelling about?"
Zhong Wanwan then realized it was Wen Shu, and her expression changed immediately. "Uncle, why is she hiding there?"
Why did Wen Shu get involved with Li Duo?
Could it be that Wen Shu is seducing Li Duo?
Zhong Wanwan looked at Wen Shu, then at Li Duo, both shocked and frightened. Could Wen Shu really be trying to seduce Li Duo?
Wen Shu was caught red-handed, and her face turned red from head to toe.
She glanced at Li Duo and explained, "I came to ask you for something, but you weren't here..."
Li Duo glanced at her. "And then?"
Wen Shu opened her mouth, "Then... when you come back, I..."
Zhong Wanwan immediately exclaimed, "You want something? Taking things without asking is theft! You sneaked into my uncle's office, what are you thinking!"
Wen Shu did not refute.
Zhong Wanwan is Li Duo's niece. If you confront her directly, you will be in the wrong, and Li Duo will not help you.
