disappointment
"Where's the information?"
Early Monday morning, Zhou Min saw Huang Peiyi already sitting in the office. Taking advantage of the fact that they were the only two there, he transformed into the evil Party A as soon as they met.
Are there still human rights? Huang Peiyi was speechless and could only laugh and deal with it: "Haha, I thought three days meant three working days."
"So where's the progress?" Zhou Min sat on the swivel chair and swayed leisurely.
"The information you need involves multiple departments and is rather tricky, so..." Huang Peiyi hasn't gotten any information yet, but she didn't dare to say it clearly.
"So the progress is zero?" Zhou Min made a bold guess based on the cold sweat on Huang Peiyi's forehead and her shivering posture.
Huang Peiyi, who was mentioned in this story, became visibly excited and raised her voice: "How is this possible! I'm just one step away from getting the key and getting all the information!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, just give it to me before work the day after tomorrow, okay?" Exactly three working days, this was already Zhou Min's greatest tolerance. She knew that she was just trying to get something for nothing, so she couldn't push him too hard.
Isn't this urgent? Huang Peiyi knows that no matter how much she delays Zhou Min, she won't be able to complete the client's work. So she tries to drag Zhou Min into the water to make her understand how difficult her job is.
"I don't have any way to get the key right now. You have such a good relationship with Miss Zhou, and Miss Zhou has such a good relationship with Mr. Zheng. Can you see if you can..."
"No." Zhou Min refused without thinking.
She looked at her good colleague with a complicated expression: "You don't understand how much I have secretly sacrificed to support your work."
The reason why Huang Peiyi can sit here peacefully is because Zhou Min has been carrying the burden for her!
Thinking of this, Zhou Min adjusted his collar with his hands to prevent the bite marks from showing.
Today she was wearing a pink and purple turtleneck cashmere sweater, which was one of the items in Zhou Qiting's wardrobe.
Because so many... accidents happened on Saturday, she didn't get to try on any clothes. The next day, Zhou Qiting had the servants pack up all the unworn dresses in Zhou Min's size and send them to Zhou Min's house.
He also told her to change her clothes every day and not to repeat them.
Not only clothes were delivered to my door yesterday, but also a roll of red rope.
She recalled the scene where Zhou Qiting was gesturing on her body with the red rope, and she was still frightened.
Because after Zhou Qiting finished her gesture, the next moment, they had a thrilling fight—
Quick questions and answers.
Zhou Qiting asked and Zhou Min answered.
From the functional structure of the Investigation Bureau to the information of the contact personnel of the Investigation Bureau, Zhou Yiting asked about everything that the staff of the Investigation Bureau should know.
Fortunately, Zhou Min has always been meticulous. When preparing for the identity of an agent, he even spent money to buy relevant information to make this character more credible.
Furthermore, for those in their line of work, keeping up with the movements of the Investigation Bureau's personnel has become almost a professional norm. Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you survive longer in this "cat and mouse game."
Fortunately, Zhou Min basically answered all the questions raised by Zhou Qiting, and even pointed out the traps deliberately designed in the questions.
She still remembered the undisguised disappointment in the eldest lady's eyes when she answered the last question.
Zhou Min was sure that if he answered a question incorrectly, Zhou Qiting would tie him with the red rope in his hand.
The eldest lady’s disappointment was mostly because she could not punish Zhou Min severely on the grounds that he was a “bad guy”.
If Zhou Min was exposed, Huang Peiyi, who might have been seen by Zhou Qiting that day, would also suffer.
Zhou Min sympathetically suggested to Huang Peiyi: "After you finish this deal, it's best to retire."
Seeing Huang Peiyi's expression turn doubtful, Zhou Min hinted meaningfully: "It's written like this in novels. When a business spy is caught, he will be tortured by his boss in various ways."
Huang Peiyi said she couldn't keep up with Zhou Min's train of thought and kindly suggested: "Why don't you read more serious novels?"
Oh! It’s hard to persuade someone with good words!
Zhou Min said no more, only reiterating: "You have to deal with the key issue yourself. I want the information I want by the day after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise I will deal with you according to the rules of the underworld."
Zhou Min didn't know what the rules of the underworld were.
Reporting "the same kind" of people is too damaging, and she can't really do anything to Huang Peiyi, so all along, she could only scare her good colleagues to achieve her goals.
Fortunately, Huang Peiyi was the kind of person who couldn't help being scared. She immediately nodded rapidly, indicating that she could definitely do it.
After temporarily solving the problem with Huang Peiyi, Zhou Min did not relax and even began to worry.
Among the clothes that Zhou Qiting had people send over, only a few had high collars. She looked in the mirror and saw that the bite marks on her neck would not disappear in two or three days.
I'm going to buy some scarves after work, Zhou Min made a mental note.
But then again, Zhou Qiting said that Zhou Min had to change into a different dress every day. Does that mean that he can't control his own time after get off work and has to work overtime to "please" the eldest lady?
Zhou Min's eyes went dark, and he felt that this was the end of his life.
So for the next half day, Zhou Min stared at Huang Peiyi with a resentful face, hoping that she could turn pressure into motivation and complete the tasks he assigned her as soon as possible.
Until Zhou Min vaguely heard his colleagues around him whispering: "I just saw Miss Zhou and Mr. Zheng take the elevator together..."
"I haven't seen Miss Zhou for a while..."
"It's because..."
The voice was getting smaller and smaller. Zhou Min could guess that they were going to talk about something related to him, so they were avoiding him.
Could you please keep your gossip at an inaudible volume from the beginning?
Zhou Min was not at all curious about how the gossip in the company had evolved. She just wanted to know whether Zhou Qiting came over during working hours today to do something bad to her again.
Zhou Min just sat at his workstation, slacking off anxiously, waiting for the arrival of the eldest lady.

"Do you think I was arrogant before?"
Seeing Zheng Siying sitting at the desk and working as soon as she entered the office, Zhou Qiting remembered what Zhou Min said in the hotel that night.
She didn't mind being accused of being arrogant. She just wanted to know why, although they were both from the "aristocratic family" as Zhou Min mentioned, she didn't feel arrogant at all when she looked at Zheng Siying?
Zheng Siying paused after hearing this, then looked up and teased, "Are you here to talk to me about your emotional setbacks?"
Seeing Zhou Qiting didn't answer, Zheng Siying continued, "You were indeed arrogant when you were young, but I think you've become quite humble as you've grown up."
humble?
After hearing these completely different evaluations, Zhou Qiting finally understood where the problem lay. No wonder she and Zheng Siying both thought each other's personalities were okay. It turned out that it was because they were at the same level, so they didn't feel that the other was superior.
If it weren't for the special experience in the past, Zhou Qiting wouldn't have thought so much, and perhaps like Zheng Siying, he would habitually ignore his shortcomings in this area.
After all, this is not a disadvantage at all for their class.
During these few days of getting along, Zhou Yiting used her own methods to make clear the other person's inner feelings for her, but what she didn't know was whether she liked being treated like this.
The agreed transaction duration is three months. After three months, if the puppy is not successfully tamed, what means should I use to keep it by my side?
Should I continue to create trouble for her so that she can only rely on me? Or should I just keep her in captivity and train her so that she can't leave me?
Zhou Yiting was weighing the feasibility of the two options in her mind. No matter which one, she felt excited.
No matter how bad her temper is, the puppy can only endure it and obey her.
However, Zhou Qiting believes that his personality is pretty good compared to Zheng Siying's.
Zheng Siying had been absorbed in her work for almost a year, and Zhou Qiting had almost forgotten her hobby, which only a few people knew about. Now that she remembered it, she casually asked, "Haven't you found anyone yet?"
Zhou Qiting's casual question made Zheng Siying stunned for a moment before she answered distressedly, "The people I met before were quite boring."
"Those who can afford to play are too self-deprecating, and those who don't are too self-deprecating to play."
"The latter are obviously only here for the money and can't bear even the slightest pain."
Zheng Siying held her chin with her hands in frustration.
Zhou Qiting expressed reservations about the degree word "slightly" used by Zheng Siying.
One time, Zhou Qiting went to Zheng Siying's home where she lived alone to look for her. She happened to see a woman staggering out of her house. Zhou Qiting kindly helped her up, but as soon as he touched the woman's arm, he heard an unbearable cry of pain.
But these people endured humiliation for money. Even if Zhou Qiting wanted to enforce justice, he couldn't contact the Investigation Bureau to arrest Zheng Siying.
"Tell me, are there people who can't afford to play but have to play?" Zheng Siying was aroused by Zhou Qiting's question and wanted to talk, so she couldn't help but talk a little more.
Zhou Yiting thought of a certain "federal agent". If she was not really flawless at the moment, she would really play some unavoidable games with her.
But she won’t go as far as Zheng Siying.
Maybe what Zheng Siying needs is someone who has a fatal handle in her hand?
In response to Zheng Siying's teasing, Zhou Qiting said with a mischievous smile, "Yes, but I won't tell you."
-
Zhou Min didn't wait for Zhou Qiting until he got off work.
She slung her bag over her shoulder, pushed her swivel chair back under the table, and before leaving, she said to Huang Peiyi, who was still buried in her work, something that looked like a goodbye but was actually meant to urge her on: "Peiyi, I'm going back now. Keep working hard."
Zhou Min originally wanted to leave, but when she thought of the dangerous atmosphere when she opened the door and saw Zhou Qiting when she returned home on Friday night, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.
So Zhou Min tactfully picked up his phone and asked the young lady if she had any instructions for tonight.
After receiving a negative answer, Zhou Min went to the bathroom, took out his work phone, and sent a message to Chen Shu.
"I have a favor to ask of you. See you at 'Overnight Tea'."
