Now downstairs, Tonghua is still having dinner with Li Ji.
They had no idea what was happening outside the window. Li Ji had originally chosen a restaurant that was relatively quiet and secluded on weekdays, but for some reason, there seemed to be an unusually large number of people outside the restaurant today, chattering and making a lot of noise.
It seems like I still hear people outside saying things like "so handsome" from time to time.
Tonghua put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm done eating. How much is today's meal? I'll transfer it to you."
She picked up the phone on the table, opened WeChat and was about to transfer money to Li Ji.
Li Ji showed a hurt expression: "No need, this meal is my treat, as was breakfast this morning. We are colleagues after all, there is no need to be so formal."
Seeing this, Tonghua didn't intend to dwell on it and would just invite him back next time when she was free. She never liked to owe others anything.
"Very well, thank you."
Tonghua sat quietly on the soft stool, looking at the crowd outside the window, waiting for Li Ji.
Seeing that she was a little bored, Li Ji said, "If you have something to do, go back first. You don't have to wait for me. I know you are very busy recently."
Tonghua stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be leaving now. Take your time eating."
Tonghua thought that she was indeed a little busy, and if the two of them went back to the office together now and were seen by other colleagues, it would be a bit ostentatious. Although she was not afraid of these rumors, she did not want it to affect her work, so she nodded and left.
She returned to the office and turned on her computer. It was not yet time for afternoon work. Although there were other people in the office, she was the only one working hard. Everyone else seemed to be chatting.
Although the time given for this plan is short, because she has done a lot of data research before, now to make another plan, she only needs to add some content and then modify all the previous erroneous data.
Therefore, the second draft of the plan this time was much simpler. The only trouble was that the plan contained a lot of presentation content, hundreds of pages long, and needed to be carefully proofread page by page. There must not be any mistakes in such a major project.
Tonghua had been busy all day, staring at the screen intently for a long time. He felt a little dizzy in his head and his temples were swollen.
She was about to get up, go to the tea room for a cup of coffee, and continue fighting.
Thinking that she was still unsure when she would be able to go home, she picked up her phone and opened Qin Zun's WeChat.
[Mr. Qin, I won't be back for dinner tonight. You can eat by yourself first.]
After sending the message, she picked up the cup and went to the tea room.
While taking the coffee, she took the time to check her phone, and a message suddenly popped up on the screen, which scared her. The hand that took the coffee was not paying attention and accidentally tilted, and the coffee that flowed out burned her fingertips.
She didn't bother to reply to the message and put her phone on the table, but accidentally pressed the mute button.
She put the coffee down, cupped her fingers, and blew on them a few times.
Her fingertips were already red from being burned, but she had no time to deal with it as she still had to revise the project plan and could not delay any longer.
She returned to her workstation, took a sip of coffee, patted her face, felt much more awake, and continued to work hard.
Tick-tick, time passed by little by little. Qin Zun, who had not received any reply, made several calls, but no one answered.
He was very annoyed. As soon as Tonghua sent the message, he knew that she might not come back tonight. But work was not as important as health. She had been working all night for several consecutive nights.
If she continued to work so hard, Qin Zun was really afraid that her body would not be able to bear it.
So after receiving the message, he replied: [If you don’t come back, I’ll come find you later.]
He thought that Tonghua would go home obediently, but he waited for half an hour and received no message, and Tonghua did not come home either.
He called several times but no one answered.
So Qin Zun decided to go to the company in person.
In about three minutes, he drove to the company.
He parked the car and walked directly to the design department office.
When I opened the door, the fairy tale was there.
Her attention was all on the computer, and she didn't notice Qin Zun's arrival at all.
Qin Zun, who was originally a little angry, suddenly felt distressed when he saw her tired look.
Qin Zun didn't understand that it was just a mere 500,000 yuan. Was it worth her risking her life like this?
She has been working on this project for a month and her face has become thinner. Her face used to be a little chubby, but now it has become an oval face.
There were two dark circles under his eyes, obviously caused by staying up late.
Qin Zun began to think about whether it was right or wrong for him to deliberately say that the project partner's information had been changed and reissue the correct information.
If she hadn't been selected, she wouldn't be working as hard as she is now.
But everything has been done, and now all I have to do is accompany her silently.
Fortunately, this project will enter the planning review tomorrow, so she doesn't have to work so hard anymore.
Afraid that his appearance would suddenly scare her, Qin Zun chose to sit quietly opposite Tonghua and look at her.
Now I realize that she is actually quite pretty, with long eyelashes, big twinkling eyes, and a small and delicate nose.
Then there are the plump, rosy lips.
Qin Zun still remembers the taste of it. It was so addictive once you touched it. It was moist and soft, with a hint of fragrance.
But now the lips looked a little pale due to loss of moisture.
Qin Zun saw Tonghua pick up the coffee cup and prepare to take a sip, but the coffee was finished without him noticing.
Qin Zun then asked, "How about I help you get the coffee?"
Even though Qin Zun deliberately lowered his voice, the sudden sound still scared her.
She breathed a sigh of relief and asked in surprise, "When did you come?"
Tonghua then remembered that Qin Zun had asked her when she would be home, but she had forgotten to reply. She wanted to pick up her phone to check the time, but she looked left and right and couldn't find her phone.
"What are you looking for?"
She remembered that she had left her phone in the tea room when she was getting her coffee. "My phone is still in the tea room, so I forgot to reply to your message. Sorry."
"That's perfect. Give me the cup and I'll go get the coffee and bring your phone over."
Tonghua handed over the empty coffee cup, but as luck would have it, when their hands touched, Qin Zun touched her burned fingertips.
"hiss"
Fairy Tale suddenly retracted his hand.
Qin Zun noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong with your hand?"
He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Tonghua's hand to see what was going on.
But Tonghua put her hands behind her back and said calmly, "It's nothing. I'll just go make the coffee myself."
