Chapter 6: A Touch of Humanity
Li Zhan regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.
The Jing family's downfall was actually quite cruel; in a single day, they went from being a high-ranking industrial tycoon to having creditors besieging their door.
The news was abuzz with images of the Jing family going bankrupt and members of the Jing family going into hiding.
Those were times of panic and utter disarray for the Jing family.
Overnight, Jingge went from being a young lady to Cinderella after the midnight bells rang, losing her fine clothes, her jewelry, and her glass slippers.
The Li family helped the Jing family.
Unlike what's portrayed on TV, she didn't immediately shut the door, unleash the dogs, return the tokens, or demand annulment of the engagement as soon as things seemed to be going wrong.
They kept their promise and reassured Jing's parents that they would arrange for their two children to get married as soon as they reached the appropriate age.
The creditors were wary of the Li family's power, which is why they were willing to sit down and negotiate peacefully with Jing's father.
Li Zhan should never have said that.
This is tantamount to mocking the Jing family's bankruptcy.
Using other people's grief as a weapon to attack them.
Jing Ge's eyelids suddenly turned red: "I'm not a rich girl, that's why I have to take the bus!"
"..." Li Zhan irritably ruffled his hair. "Can you please stop bothering me? I'll take you home, okay?"
Jingge: "What if you throw it away halfway? I'll be late. You might not care about the 600 yuan attendance bonus, but I do!"
Knowing she was bringing up the past, Li Zhan became even more agitated: "I came back for you! You disappeared in two minutes!"
He was hot-tempered and irrational, but he turned around and came back just two minutes after she got out of the car.
But Jingge is no longer here.
Jingge will certainly disappear.
Li Mushi happened to be passing by and gave her a ride. She was soaked to the bone in the rain, so Li Mushi took her to a hotel near the company, let her take a shower, and even had someone bring her clean clothes.
Li Mushi postponed his meeting because he was seeing her off.
So when Jing Ge received her salary, the first thing she wanted to do was thank him.
She did nothing wrong.
She did nothing wrong from beginning to end.
Why should Li Zhan push all the responsibility onto her?
Jingge turned and left.
I don't want to say another word to him.
Li Zhan was thoroughly annoyed. He caught up with her in two strides and grabbed her wrist: "Stop making a scene, okay..."
Jingge forcefully shook him off and ran forward. Just then, the bus arrived at the station and opened its doors. She jumped on like a rabbit.
Li Zhan gritted his teeth until they were shattered.
As the bus swayed and drove away, that indescribable emotion ignited into a raging fire, and Li Zhan kicked the bus door hard.
They kicked the door, which had been washed until it was spotless, leaving a dent.

Jingge works for the largest foreign trade company in Haishi. He has a six-month internship. After becoming a full-time employee, he can earn commission on containers. Once he becomes experienced enough to develop clients independently, he can apply to become a partner in the company and receive stock dividends after evaluation.
Jingge's dream is to create his own foreign trade company in the future.
The company is called Womei. The boss is from the south. He is a gentleman and is kind to his employees. All the welfare benefits are excellent.
He just doesn't come to the company often.
The entire company was almost entirely handed over to a few managers.
Financial manager, business manager, warehouse supervisor, and quality control supervisor, etc.
The business was divided into three departments: Department 1, Department 2, and Department 3. Jingge was assigned to Department 1.
Her boss is a middle-aged woman who values being single. She treats Jingge well and will repeatedly correct her mistakes.
He's always late.
She would ask Jingge to clock in for her whenever she was late.
Helping others clock in seems to be an unspoken practice within Womei.
The business department, in particular, has a flexible and relaxed work schedule.
As a newcomer, Jingge was inexperienced and didn't know much about workplace rules. When her boss asked her to clock in, she did.
Nothing had happened the previous times, but this time the finance manager called me into his office and gave me a severe dressing-down.
The finance manager's voice was shrill: "Do you think this company is your home? Is this time clock just for show? Write down how many times you've clocked in honestly, and these times will be deducted from your salary!"
"......"
She learned her lesson and was indeed wrong to be scolded and punished. However, what upset Jing Ge was that her boss Anna seemed to have forgotten about it.
During lunch break, he even went out for lunch arm in arm with the finance manager, looking very friendly.
He never expressed any feelings towards Jing Ge from beginning to end.
The first lesson in the workplace: Don't have any expectations of any "colleagues".
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Jing Ge received a call from Li Ying's watch.
The little girl, who had probably taken a taxi secretly, said in a very low voice, "Sister, please come to the school and save me."
"...What's wrong?"
"About that signature thing," Li Ying stammered, "the teacher called my uncle, you have to come quickly, I'll die!"
Jing Ge: "".
At the time, Li Mushi was meeting with a client. The client had a rough and fierce look about him, and was carrying a watermelon knife. He wanted to settle accounts with Li Mushi. With a swing of his big, burly arm, he pressed the watermelon knife against Li Mushi's neck.
The conference room was deathly silent.
Li Mushi sat calmly, seemingly indifferent to the knife at his neck. His beautiful hand held a pen as he signed his name on the contract.
The man with the watermelon knife roared, "I told you not to sign! This deal has to be mine! Are you deaf?!"
The others held their breath, remaining silent as if terrified.
The man sitting firmly in the center didn't even raise an eyebrow. His cold and handsome face had a touch of aloofness, and his aura was undeniably powerful, exuding a charm that seemed to emanate from every corner of his body.
A watermelon knife loomed closer: "I'll say..."
The moment he uttered the word "speak," a silver pistol was pressed against his forehead.
The watermelon knife suddenly stopped.
Li Mushi raised his eyes, leaned back slightly, and the veins on his forearm, which was holding a pistol, bulged.
He asked, "What did you say?"
"..." The watermelon knife showed no change in expression in his eyes.
The eldest son of the Li family went into politics and took a populist approach, while the second son went into literature and was even more amiable. Only the third son was unfathomable and incomprehensible.
However, based on his experience, Xiguadao believes this statement is false.
Li Mushi was clearly a well-educated but clueless man.
What's so scary about it?
However, upon seeing the icy calm in his eyes, Xigua Dao's knees buckled, and he suddenly cowered.
Because a normal person wouldn't be completely unaffected.
Li Mushi pressed the gun against his flesh: "Speak."
The watermelon knife trembled: "N-I won't say anymore..."
Li Mushi: "That's not good. If you want to talk, then talk more."
Watermelon Knife: "I'm really not saying anything more..."
Li Mushi pressed his fingertip and pulled the trigger.
He screamed like a pig being slaughtered with a watermelon knife: "I was wrong! I was wrong!!"
Li Mushi stared at him quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly snatched the watermelon knife from his hand. The blade whistled and slashed down on his hand.
Watermelon Knife rolled his eyes and fainted.
The chilling knife struck precisely into the wooden table between his fingers.
Just then, the teacher called.
Everyone in the office watched as his expression changed, seemingly unable to understand, confused, his expression shattering into silent fragments.
It also has a touch more human touch.
"8 points?"
"The total score is 10?"
"Did she get dizzy after finishing two questions?"
Otherwise, how could you have gotten an 8?
"Jing Ge?"
"Yes, I am their guardian."
"I'm coming over now."
