Chapter 18: Drinking Medicine
Lin Youbai came here for nothing and planned to go back to the department first and try his luck again later.
As long as she arrives earlier than Mr. Shi and doesn't delay his work, the secretariat should let her in to complete the equipment inventory.
Thinking of this, she walked to the elevator and pressed the down button.
Above the elevator, red numbers slowly jumped. Soon, the elevator door opened and she rushed forward.
"hiss……"
Lin You bumped head-on into a hard chest.
Shi Jingyuan didn't sleep well that night and was very angry. He was about to get angry when he saw the woman in front of him raise her head.
Maybe because his nose hurt so much, Lin You's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.
Shi Jingyuan frowned, but didn't say the curse words.
Lin You endured the pain, covered his nose and greeted him.
"Mr. Shi, good morning."
After saying that, she stepped aside to make way for the leader.
Shi Jingyuan didn't move for a long time. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line and his face looked unhappy.
Lin You looked at her nose, cared about her nose, lowered her eyebrows, and pretended not to notice his displeasure.
Since she dared to hang up on him, she was already prepared to lose her job at any time.
Some things, once you figure them out, you don't have to worry about them anymore.
A "ding" sound was heard.
Seeing that the elevator door was about to close automatically, Shi Jingyuan pressed the door open button impatiently, then walked out of the elevator.
"Come to my office!"
He ordered as he passed by Lin You.
Lin You was stunned and spoke coldly to his back.
"Boss Shi, if you want to arrange some work, I'll ask Manager Hu to come up and take charge. According to the company's charter, I can't bypass the leadership level to carry out work."
Shi Jingyuan paused, feeling so angry that he wanted to laugh.
He turned around and asked with a half-smile, "Ms. Lin remembers the company's articles of association clearly."
"Then Miss Lin, do you remember that there's a rule in the company's employee code that employees should complete other temporary tasks assigned by their supervisors?"
"Or am I not your leader, and only Manager Hu is your leader?"
"Ms. Lin, do you want me to ask the HR department to explain the employee code of conduct to you?"
Lin You: “…”
As expected, he is worthy of being the quasi-boss of the Shi family. No matter when and where, he always has reasons and evidence to refute others.
Shi Jingyuan raised his finger and pointed at a sticky mark on his chest, his tone quite mocking.
"Or, if Miss Lin gets something on me, do you want Manager Hu to help you clean it off?"
Lin You then noticed a noticeable stain on his suit. It was...
Her blush?
When she got up today, she had a sore throat and dizziness. She thought she had caught a cold after being caught in the rain. When she was washing up, she found that her face was as pale as a female ghost.
She just used a little more blush to make her look better, but now the blush has spread all over his suit.
Lin You felt that he had been caught, so he didn't dare to object anymore and followed him obediently.
The office was very air-conditioned. When she opened the door, the cold air hit her and she sneezed several times in succession.
She was still thinking about his coat, "Mr. Shi, please take off your coat. I'll wash it for you and send it back."
Shi Jingyuan did not respond to her topic. After taking a look at her expression, he frowned slightly and pointed at the sofa.
"Sit there and wait."
Lin You curled his lips and walked over to sit down.
After Shi Jingyuan turned up the air conditioner temperature, he took out a medicine box from the cabinet.
This was a common item in the office, and he had never used it before. After opening it, he rummaged around for a while before finding a thermometer.
"Open your mouth."
Shi Jingyuan walked up to her with a cold voice.
Lin You instinctively obeyed the order, opened his mouth, and a thermometer was stuffed in.
Shi Jingyuan: "Hold it in your mouth."
After saying that, he looked at his watch again and wrote down the time to start taking the temperature.
Lin You widened his eyes and stared at him in confusion, as if he couldn't understand his actions.
"You came into my office looking like you were about to faint. Are you trying to blackmail me?"
As soon as Shi Jingyuan opened his mouth, he shattered all her positive speculations.
Lin You: “…”
Shi Jingyuan: "The company has a standard leave policy. If you're sick, you should take leave. If you think you can get recognition from your boss or a compassionate bonus by collapsing at your workstation, you're overthinking it."
She didn't think so!
Shi Jingyuan didn't give her a chance to refute. He calmly took off his coat and continued to unbutton his shirt in front of her.
Lin You: “???”
She was so startled that the thermometer in her mouth almost dropped.
Shi Jingyuan secretly raised the corner of his mouth, but quickly suppressed the smile and continued.
His slender fingers pinched the buttons and gently unbuttoned them, revealing his well-defined eight-pack abs.
Before Lin You could see clearly, he turned around again, with a kind of temptation that seemed to want to refuse but also to accept.
She bit the thermometer and spoke vaguely, "Boss Shi, why are you taking off your clothes?"
Shi Jingyuan was startled, like the village chief who had just realized her, "Uh... Sorry, I forgot you were still here. I thought I was alone in the office."
hypocritical!
She's a living person, and you forget about it right after you say it?
She suspected she did it on purpose, but had no evidence.
Shi Jingyuan turned around and walked towards the lounge.
Lin You was confused and his eyes followed the direction unconsciously.
Although it was just a quick glimpse, Lin You's mind was full of the hot scene he had just seen.
She touched her cheek uncomfortably and found that it was very hot.
She comforted herself that she was not blushing because she saw his abdominal muscles, but was just sick with a high fever!
After Shi Jingyuan changed his clothes and came out, the thermometer time had expired.
"Thirty-six degrees." He glanced at the thermometer and muttered in confusion, "You don't have a fever, so why is your face so red?"
Well, Lin You felt that her face seemed a little redder at this moment.
Shi Jingyuan took out a packet of cold medicine from the medicine box, poured it into a cup and added hot water. It seemed that the water temperature was a little too high, so he picked up the cup and blew it gently.
When Lin You turned her head, she saw his thin lips opening and closing slightly, with a little steam spreading out from in front of him.
The mist made his cold brows and eyes soften a little.
Lin You was distracted and almost forgot his identity.
Shi Jingyuan placed the cold medicine at the right temperature in front of her.
"Drink it."
Lin You was a little hesitant.
"Ms. Lin...are you afraid that I will poison you to death?" Shi Jingyuan asked sarcastically.
Lin You: “…”
She showed no expression as she picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
A smile flashed in Shi Jingyuan's eyes, but his tone was cold.
"Just finish the medicine and leave quickly. Don't infect me with the virus."
Lin You swallowed the words of thanks that were about to come out of his mouth.
