Regret
"Are you free this weekend? I want to watch a movie with you."
Zhou Min is not free, even if he were free.
She refused directly: "Ms. Zhou, I'm really sorry, I have some personal matters to take care of this weekend."
The scope of this private matter is very broad, ranging from traveling far away to complete an order to resting at home, all are considered private matters.
But Zhou Qiting was relentless this time, and kindly asked, "Is it difficult? If there's anything I can help with, please let me know."
Unfortunately, no matter whether it is a big thing or a small thing, you can't help.
However, Zhou Min still considered his words and replied politely: "Thank you, I won't bother you, I can handle it myself."
At the end, considering the character setting and the conversation Zhou Qiting had overheard earlier, Zhou Min added very considerately: "Ms. Zhou, you should go and see it with Mr. Zheng. I believe that as long as we talk it out, you will be able to resolve the misunderstanding."
"Come on ＾０＾~"
After Zhou Min sent the emoji expressionlessly, he turned his phone upside down on the table, mute and lock the screen, completely ignoring how his words might evoke emotions in the person on the other end.
She always remembered that she was a killer and joined the company to complete the mission, not to really work there. It was not within her job scope to please the boss's friends.
When she thought about killing Zhou Yiting and herself after she paid off all her debts, a trace of confusion flashed through her mind.
Was it Zhou Qiting's repeated advances a while ago that made him start to see her as a flesh-and-blood person?
Unlike before, she rarely observed the target so carefully and personally participated in the target's life.
The killer's target, the past tense of the corpse.
Which killer would care about a corpse's past?
Zhou Min frowned and reflected, useless kindness would make the knife dull, and unnecessary emotions would make the hand holding the knife hesitant.
I can't have too much contact with Zhou Qiting anymore.
Zhou Min shook his head slightly, throwing out unnecessary thoughts from his mind so that he could have more time to organize the current task information.
Haohai Industry is one of the leading manufacturing companies in City G. It cooperates with many technology companies to varying degrees, providing them with raw material processing and finished product manufacturing services. Among them, Zhenbang Group is one of Haohai's largest partners.
The predecessor of Haohai Industry was a gang of evil forces in G City. Its founder Zhang Hao quickly amassed wealth through various unspeakable means, and then transformed himself into a legitimate entrepreneur by making connections.
Only the piles of corpses buried under City G silently record Zhang Hao's heinous crimes.
Such a villain would have many enemies, but repeated assassinations not only failed to bring down Zhang Hao, but instead made him famous for his invincibility.
That's why this huge reward, like a hot potato, was rejected by many parties and finally fell into Zhou Min's hands.
She needs to have enough patience and courage to achieve a surprise victory.
Zhou Min compared the information he collected with the information provided by Chen Shu in his mind, sorted out a feasible plan, and analyzed possible traps.
She continued to add useful information to the draft plan until she ran into a mental block.
We're still missing some necessary clues. Zhou Min held his chin in his hand, staring at the mine he'd accidentally triggered in the game, frowning in thought.
She needs to access the internal website of Zhenbang Group to obtain more useful information.
So the problem was that her access was insufficient. Or rather, with her access, the information she could obtain was not as useful as online gossip.
As for paying for hackers? Zhenbang Group's firewall should be enough to handle ordinary hackers. Hiring top hackers is really a bit over the budget. Zhang Hao's worthless life is not that valuable.
For a moment, Zhou Min couldn't think of any better way than "pointing a gun at the leader's head to force him to hand over authority."
It seems that her long-standing professional thinking has limited her.
In fact, before Zhou Min started to leave the organization, she also imagined what kind of job she could do in the future if she was not a killer?
Chen Shu said that since she was so smart, it would be a good idea for her to be a commercial spy, as she could make money quickly and could easily escape with her skills if she was discovered.
At that time, Zhou Min was only thinking about escaping the shackles of her past sins, so she rejected the proposal without even thinking about it. She said she wanted to live a normal life.
He also advised Chen Shu, who was still a minor at the time and whose hands were not stained with blood, to think more about his future before everything became irreversible.
Later, the two of them left the organization as they wished and got rid of their past identities, but they could not withstand the sudden changes.
In the end, Chen Shu helped her live the normal life she had always dreamed of, but she chose to jump back into the abyss of sin.
In the past, I could say that I had no choice, but from now on I can only say that it was my own fault.
So, both are crimes. One will at most go to jail, and the other will at least be shot. If I had listened to Chen Shu's advice, studied hard, and changed my career to dig out other people's business secrets, I wouldn't be in such a mess now. Zhou Min sighed.
It was too late to start learning from scratch, and it didn't seem practical to spend a lot of money to hire someone to dig out this information that had no commercial value. Zhou Min was caught in a dilemma.
-
A familiar perfume.
Zhou Min, whose mind was extremely tense due to his quick thinking, noticed someone approaching from behind.
She first lowered her head and looked up from the ground. She saw a pair of black leather loafers and dark brown socks that were slightly piled up at the ankles, with the socks gathered at the middle of her slender and straight calves.
The soles look quite soft, no wonder I walk so lightly.
It would be impolite to look up any further. Zhou Min's gaze circled from back to front, returning to the face of the person behind her. She curled her eyes, smiled brightly at the visitor, and greeted: "Miss Zhou...good afternoon."
As soon as she said this, Zhou Min realized that this was the second greeting today, but she couldn't think of anything more polite at the moment, so she had to continue speaking.
Zhou Qiting's expression was unclear, with the corners of his mouth raised, but the smile did not reach his eyes, instead there was a hint of mischief with deep meaning.
She rested one hand on the back of Zhou Min's chair and the other on the table, as if to corner him, and asked, "Why don't you reply to my message?"
In this situation, Zhou Min definitely couldn't say what was in her heart like "Because I don't want to pay attention to you", nor could she say shamelessly that she was working so she didn't look at her phone.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she bit her lower lip lightly, pretending to be about to cry. After a long while, she said hesitantly: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, my phone is out of battery, so..."
Now that the drama has come to this, and things have come to this, shouldn't Zhou Qiting let her go?
"Is that so... Then let me tell you again." Zhou Yiting raised his eyebrows, bent his knuckles that were supporting the table, and tapped lightly with his index finger.
She lowered her voice and continued slowly: "Since you are not free this weekend, let's go together tonight..."
There was a thought-provoking pause. Zhou Qiting looked at her sideways, his hair falling down and brushing against her shoulders. The slight friction of the shirt fabric tickled her heart.
Zhou Min had no time to think about her previous idea of "not having too much contact with Zhou Qiting anymore". She just wanted to quickly finish Zhou Qiting's ambiguous half sentence.
Zhou Min had already noticed Huang Peiyi next to him had an expression of "getting something big"!
"Let's go to the movies together tonight, right? Okay, okay. I'll book the tickets as a thank you for Miss Zhou's care lately."
Zhou Min finished speaking in one breath, and saw Huang Peiyi's expression turn meaningful out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but choke up.
"I've already booked the tickets. Let's go after you get off work and have dinner." Zhou Yiting narrowed his eyes with a sly smile on his face.
Damn, I got fooled.
Poor Zhou Min was played around by Zhou Qiting.
-
"Zheng Siying and I are just friends." We've known each other since childhood. Zhou Qiting stopped there, not revealing any further information.
The dinner location was still the same restaurant as last time, and Zhou Qiting could see that Zhou Min was satisfied with the place.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhou Min responded perfunctorily, distractedly picked up a piece of vegetable heart with chopsticks and put it into the bowl, eating it in small bites.
She knew it a long time ago.
Zhou Min recalled that when he was little, little Zhou Qiting had said to him impatiently, "Oh, you're so stupid! How come you're as stupid as Zheng Siying?"
Thinking about it now, I am really flattered. I, who am as humble as mud, can actually be compared with the noble young lady.
When I was a child, I didn’t get enough nutrition for a long time, which made me look like a wilted bean sprout, with a pale face and thin body.
It was because of these special colored eyes that Zhou Qiting took a second look at her.
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou Yiting, slowly blinked her dark brown eyes, and smiled faintly: "Miss Zhou, why do you have to explain so much to me?"
Zhou Qiting heard the intentional alienation in Zhou Min's words, so he looked back at Zhou Min deeply and said seriously: "Xiao Min, I am very interested in you. I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you better."
Very interested? Zhou Min was displeased by the word.
She didn't show her unhappiness. Instead, she put down her chopsticks, picked up the teacup beside her, took a tactical sip of the tea, and asked in a puzzled tone, "What happens after we get to know you better?"
Is it just like what he did to that girl in the coffee shop, that we can be just friends? Or is it that we can't even be friends?
If it was the latter, she could directly help Zhou Yiting skip all the previous steps.
After all, who would want to be friends with their enemy? Zhou Min sneered in his heart.
Zhou Yiting didn't answer directly, but added more sincerely: "I hope both of us can have the opportunity to get to know each other more deeply."
Is it really that hard to believe? Zhou Min's left hand subconsciously caressed her thigh beneath her long skirt, where she held a small gun, held close to her body all day, its body temperature tinged with hers.
Directly refusing will affect work and tasks, while agreeing will affect your mood.
Zhou Min didn't want to choose either one, so she took a different approach and chose to scare Zhou Qiting.
Zhou Min showed his sharp white teeth and said with a creepy smile:
"I'm afraid the real me is not what Miss Zhou imagined."
