Zhuang Li turned on his computer to write a business plan. After finishing, he sent a message to Feng Ming: [Boss Feng, are you there?]
Feng Ming, who was lying on the sofa eating PUBG, quickly replied: [Here!]
What are you doing?
[Working on a document.] Feng Ming quickly quit the game, jumped off the sofa, ran into the study, pulled out a document from the cabinet, opened it, and took a photo of himself working diligently.
Zhuang Li shook his head and laughed, "You fool, you can't even forge a contract, and you're trying to fool me with a contract from a year ago."
After enlarging the photo, the date of the contract revealed everything.
7480 sighed, "The gods of this world are so stupid!"
Feng Ming asked seriously: [Is there something wrong?]
He had no idea that his tall image had collapsed.
I have a business plan I'd like to share with you. Tomorrow, we'll convene a meeting with all department heads to discuss the company's future development path. Is this okay with you?
[OK, absolutely OK, go ahead and send it, I'll take a look right away.]
In the past, if anyone interrupted Feng Ming's chicken game, he would have cursed them to death. But now, he had no temper at all, and even had the terrible thought of being unable to wait to get back to work.
He wanted to produce results as soon as possible and let Mr. Secretary see them.
Zhuang Li sent the document over and added a gentle reminder: "Work is work, life is life. You should balance work and rest, and avoid straining yourself all the time. After work, I recommend you relax and try to separate work and life to maintain good health. After reading the document, go to bed early. We'll discuss any questions tomorrow."
Feng Ming stared at the line of text, feeling warm and sweet in his heart.
However, this sweetness was also bitter, because he knew that Mr. Da Mi also had a wife and children, and he was not only so good to him.
Silently swallowing the bitterness, Feng Ming replied seriously: [Okay, I will go to bed early, and you too.]
【Okay, see you tomorrow then.】
Feng Ming stared at the words "See you tomorrow" for a long time, the dark clouds in his heart finally dissipating, turning into joy and anticipation. He wiped his face, sighed, then opened the document and began to read it very attentively.
At the same time, Wu Qiqi was shouting outside the door: "It's time to eat!"
Zhuang Li turned off the computer and walked out.
"Eat, eat, you're welcome." Wu Qiqi greeted the two little girls with a smile on her face, but her eyes always stayed on Luo Chu, and she seemed to be indifferent to Zhu Bi.
This shows that Wu Zirui had already told her privately and confessed that the person he really liked was Luo Chu.
Wu Qiqi's values are distorted to begin with, so she doesn't think her son is unfaithful at all. She only thinks that her son is capable and can handle two young girls at once.
This is very similar to his father!
Before Zhuang Li even came to the table, Wu Qiqi and Wu Zirui had already started eating and even invited the guests to join them, so they didn't have to wait. This small detail reveals Zhuang Li's status in the family.
Luo Chu picked up the bowl and ate the food in small bites, her behavior was very elegant. It was hard for others to believe that she was an orphan.
ShuBi didn't touch her food, but stared at the corridor, waiting for Zhuang Li to appear.
Only she knew who was truly in control of this family. Wu Qiqi and Wu Zirui, mother and son, were simply two idiots. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't escape Zhuang Li's control.
"Let's eat." Zhuang Li walked into the restaurant slowly and sat next to Shu Bi, his tone gentle and kind.
ShuVi then picked up her bowl and started eating.
"Aren't you Ruirui's classmates? I don't think I've seen you before." Wu Qiqi suddenly spoke.
Luo Chu quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and replied softly, "Auntie, I'm from No. 6 Middle School, not the same school as Wu Zirui."
Wu Zirui quickly explained, "Mom, Luo Chu and I just met today. Zhu Zhu said she was embarrassed to come to our house alone, so she brought Luo Chu along. By the way, Luo Chu, I've heard of you. Are you the top couple in the grade at Sixth Middle School?"
"I've heard of you too. You're the top student in the grade at No. 1 Middle School." Luo Chu blushed, with admiration in her eyes.
The two students with excellent academic performance looked at each other with sparkling eyes, and then smiled at each other with mutual understanding.
Wu Qiqi clapped her hands happily, "Oh, what a coincidence! You two must communicate more about your studies in the future."
They both nodded in unison, then smiled sheepishly.
Zhuang Li looked at Shu Bi, his eyebrows slightly raised.
ShuVi blinked in confirmation.
Wu Zirui's grades were fake, and Luo Chu's were naturally fake too. These two were useless, only knowing how to cling to Shu Bi and suck her blood. Without Shu Bi, they were nothing.
Zhuang Li curled the corners of his lips, looking very satisfied.
ShuVi quietly touched the index fingers of her left and right hands together under the table.
Both of them expressed the same idea - trash should be with trash.
This kind of communication was silent and tacit. After a few times, Zhu Bi couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. She thought Wu Zirui's father was really interesting. It would be great if he was her father.
While she was lost in thought, Wu Qiqi suddenly asked, "Zhu Zhu, which school do you study in?"
Shu Bi said frankly, "Auntie, the orphanage didn't send me to school."
This sentence contained so much information that Wu Qiqi was confused for a while.
Luo Chu put down his chopsticks, tears flickering in his eyes, "Auntie, Xiaozhu and I are both orphans."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Auntie really doesn't know. But how can you read?" Wu Qiqi reacted quickly.
"I'm lucky. I have kind people who support me." Luo Chu showed a look of gratitude and helped Zhu Bi explain, "Actually, Xiaozhu doesn't need to go to school. She's so smart, she learns everything quickly. The children in our orphanage really adore her. She started working very early and can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month. She's really capable."
These words sounded like praise for ShuVi, but in fact, they contained many hidden dangers.
How can a fourteen-year-old girl, who has never been to school and is an orphan without parents, earn tens of thousands of yuan a month?
Most people easily associate it with bad things, such as selling themselves. In this materialistic world, it is too easy for girls to fall into depravity and learn bad things.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Wu Qiqi's expression became very unnatural, but she forced a smile.
Luo Chu was still praising Zhu Bi, saying that she bought a lot of things and spent a lot of money for the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage every month, and seemed to have completely ignored Wu Qiqi's subtle changes.
Wu Zirui also kept praising Shu Bi's kindness, as if he was an innocent boy who completely trusted his girlfriend.
ShuBi gritted her teeth secretly, the smile on her face almost faltering. After all, she was just a little girl, and no matter how clear her vision was, she would still feel unhappy.
Luo Chu used similar methods to steal a lot of things from her: funding from kind-hearted people, places to go to school, the favor of the dean, etc.
Shu Bi turned suffering into armor, while Luo Chu turned suffering into poison, which gradually corroded his own heart and destroyed the people around him.
They came from the same orphanage, but ended up taking completely opposite paths.
Zhuang Li took out his phone and typed: [Your friend is a good actor. You should enjoy this moment. No matter how much she dislikes you, she can't get rid of you.]
Seeing this message, Zhu Bi, who was already so angry that she couldn't even eat, almost laughed out loud. Luo Chu's tricks that always worked didn't work on Uncle Zhuang at all! Uncle Zhuang saw through her at a glance!
Not everyone looks at the outside, and not everyone will be fooled by appearances.
At this moment, ShuVi seemed to have found a confidant and became extremely happy.
[Want to kill me? Even if she had two heads, it wouldn't be enough!] ShuVi snorted proudly after sending this message.
Zhuang Li laughed in silence, then helped her pick up a piece of braised pork.
Shu Bi quickly stuffed the meat into her mouth, only to find that the more she chewed, the more fragrant and delicious it became. This trip was definitely the right one. Uncle Zhuang in real life is awesome!
They were in a harmonious and cheerful mood, but Wu Qiqi felt some undercurrents and was not enjoying herself.
Even though she knew her son was just toying with Shu Bi's feelings and wasn't serious, Wu Qiqi still felt uncomfortable. How could a girl of such low birth and such a shady private life be her son's girlfriend? Even just a title wouldn't do! Her son was the only heir to the Zhang family!
But she didn't break up with him right away, but her attitude became obviously colder. She took care of Luo Chu in the second half of the time and didn't pay much attention to Zhu Bi.
This actually made ShuVi happier and more relaxed.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhuang Li drove the two girls back to the orphanage.
7480 complained: "I knew your car wasn't broken!"
"Don't worry, it will definitely be broken when Feng Ming comes to pick me up tomorrow morning." Zhuang Li chuckled.
7480 rolled his eyes.
The man and his pet walked around outside for a few laps, enjoying the night view of the city, and then returned home.
No one knew how Wu Zirui had persuaded Wu Qiqi, but as soon as Zhuang Li entered the house, she excitedly announced, "I want to adopt Luo Chu as my goddaughter."
"Whatever you want." Zhuang Li said indifferently.
"You don't even ask the reason?" Wu Qiqi was surprised.
"Do whatever you want, I don't care." Zhuang Li waved his hand and went into the room.
Wu Qiqi didn't use a single word of the speech she had prepared. She had originally wanted to praise Luo Chu for his diligence and self-improvement, and then express her strong desire to have a daughter.
"Has he been acting a little abnormal lately?" Wu Qiqi felt a little uneasy.
"This is what unemployed people do." Wu Zirui sneered.
"Did the private investigator you hired get any evidence against him?"
"No, he is a complete loser!" Wu Zirui whispered through gritted teeth.
In his opinion, Zhuang Li, who doesn't smoke, drink, or play outside, and only cares about work and family, can only be described as "cowardly".
Wu Qiqi was also disappointed and asked anxiously, "What should we do? If we don't catch him, how can we force him to hand over the house during the divorce?"
"I'll ask Uncle Lu to think of a solution. Remember to cooperate and call Uncle Lu more often to keep him in suspense." Wu Zirui took out Plan B which he had thought of a long time ago.
Wu Qiqi quickly agreed, not thinking there was anything wrong with doing so.
The three views of this mother and son are surprisingly consistent.
