Chapter 116 Your Waistline

"Well, don't worry, I've already called someone to rescue us." Bu Qianli said softly, "If you are really scared, just come over slowly and stay next to me."

His words made Chi Dong feel a little moved, but after estimating the distance between them, he hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea.

Now one of them is on the left and the other on the right, and the elevator has an unknown malfunction. If it suddenly moves at this moment, it may cause the elevator to go down again.

"No, no need. I'll just stand here."

Seeing that he insisted, Bu Qianli did not force him. She nodded slightly, signaling him not to be too nervous.

At this time, Chi Dong no longer tensed up his brain nerves, but gradually relaxed. Bu Qianli, who was standing quietly beside him, stared at him closely, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that his emotions had calmed down.

They were the only two people left in the small space, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet. Bu Qianli glanced at the time and saw that less than 10 minutes had passed since they entered the elevator.

"Junior, which department do you work in?" He broke the silence, slightly turning to face Chi Dong with a concerned look.

Because the two were not far from each other and the surrounding environment was very quiet, his deep voice was clearly transmitted to Chi Dong's ears through the hearing aid, giving him a numb feeling.

Chi Dong couldn't help but reached out and touched the tip of his ear unconsciously.

“I’m in the operations department.”

"Isn't the Operations Department on the 12th floor? How did you get down from here?"

"I uh..."

Chi Dong frowned unconsciously, his eyes full of confusion. After hesitating for a moment, he explained to him in a low voice: "I'm going to the 24th floor to deliver the documents."

Bu Qianli's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. "What kind of document is so important that you have to deliver it at this time? Doesn't your manager know that the company prohibits overtime?"

"? The company doesn't allow overtime?" Chi Dong's attention was attracted by the last sentence he said.

Bu Qianli explained calmly, "Well, this rule has been in place since the company was founded. Once a violator is found, he will be reported directly and his bonus for that month will be deducted."

“…I always thought the company allowed overtime.”

It turns out that overtime is prohibited.

Chi Dong was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips unconsciously. No wonder those people in the same department packed up and left at the appointed time. When he asked them about overtime, they just turned their heads away indifferently, as if he didn't exist.

However, after he hit a wall once, he stopped trying to make things difficult for himself.

If Bu Qianli hadn't told him today, if he stayed overtime one day and was discovered, and the whole company was informed, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to be converted to a regular employee.

Bu Qianli understood immediately when he saw his expression. The air pressure around him dropped suddenly. He tilted his head slightly, and his handsome face turned cold and his brows were locked where Chi Dong couldn't see. Anyone could see that he was really angry.

"What's going on in the operations department? No one told you the company's rules. It seems someone thinks the bonus is too high."

"Senior, I have been working overtime these days. Has this violated company regulations?"

Chi Dong asked cautiously, with a visibly blush on his face, but luckily he was wearing glasses which covered most of his face, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Bu Qianli said sternly: "No, it's not your fault. It's a problem with the company's management. I will send someone to investigate it. It won't affect your internship."

"Well, thank you, senior." Chi Dongqing couldn't help but raise his head and stare at Bu Qianli without blinking. It was hard for him to ignore the affection revealed in those clear eyes.

Bu Qianli sighed inaudibly and opened his thin lips slightly, just about to say something when suddenly several vague shouts came from near the staircase door.

"General Bu!"

“Can the people inside hear it?”

"Chisato, are you okay?"

"Boss, hello, hello? Can you hear me? If you can, just say something."

Chi Dong looked over when he heard the voice, his eyes suddenly filled with joy, and even his breathing quickened.

"Senior, listen, are they here to rescue us?"

Bu Qianli said calmly: "Yes, it's them."

The elevator maintenance person arrived on time and worked very efficiently. Not long after, there was a "bang" sound above my head, and the elevator door was opened from the outside.

But because the elevator is between two floors, the gap is only wide enough for an adult male to pass through.

At this time, a group of people were gathered outside, all with anxious and terrified looks on their faces. Among them, the person in charge of the security department was the most nervous and uneasy.

The elevator malfunction was already a headache for him, but he never imagined that the person trapped inside would be their president.

Fortunately, he didn't drink today, otherwise, if the rescue was delayed, his life would be over.

"The door is open. It's open."

"Hurry up, save the president first."

"Chili, please put your hand up."

"Boss, hurry up, I'll pull you up."

The people outside were blocking the door, clamoring for Bu Qianli to get out first. But what they didn't expect was that Bu Qianli was determined to let another person leave first.

"Senior, hurry up and go up, they are calling you." Chi Dong saw Bu Qianli not moving, so he hurriedly reminded him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Qianli slowly stood up. Just when Chi Dong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going out.

The next second, he stopped walking and turned around to look at me. His dark and deep eyes showed no trace of emotion.

Bu Qianli spoke slowly and in a low voice, "Come here, I'll help you up."

Hearing this, Chi Dong's eyes suddenly widened.

Did he hear it right?

Chi Dong subconsciously shook his head and refused, "No, no."

Bu Qianli's tone was full of unquestionableness, and it was obvious that she did not take his refusal seriously. "If you don't come over, the elevator may go down again."

His words could be said to be a threat to the lives of the two people. Chi Dong was frightened by him, and since the people outside the door kept urging him, he did not dare to delay any longer.

So he carefully stood up from the ground and walked straight to Bu Qianli. After Bu Qianli waited for him to come over, he reached out and grabbed him, gently supported his waist, exerted a little force with his arms, and easily sent him out.

The moment he handed it over, Bu Qianli had only one question in his mind: Why is Chi's waist so thin? Did he not eat well?

At this time, outside the door, Jiang Ying was kneeling on one knee, waiting left and right, and finally saw an arm stretched out. Then, with a look of ecstasy on his face, he and others pulled the person out.

But when the person came up, he found that it was not Bu Qianli as he thought, but a handsome young man.

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before!

Jiang Ying was a little stunned. Before he could ask, he heard others shouting, "Hurry up and pull the president up."

His thoughts were pulled back to his senses at once, and he stopped hesitating. He simply pushed the young man he had pulled up aside and quickly approached Bu Qianli who had just been rescued by others.

"Boss, are you okay? How did you get stuck in the elevator? What's going on with the logistics department and the security department? Don't they send people to regularly maintain the elevator? If something goes wrong and someone dies, can you bear the responsibility?"

Jiang Ying circled Bu Qianli twice, and seeing that he was safe and sound, he finally let go of his anxiety, and turned around to curse at the others.

Bu Qianli did not stop him because he knew that Jiang Ying was worried about his safety, which was why he was so angry. If he didn't let him vent his anger and curse enough, he would definitely go on strike again out of anger.

Fortunately, there were no accidents this time, otherwise these people would not have been able to compensate even if they had ten lives.

As soon as Bu Qianli came out, the surrounding area was crowded with people, and all kinds of greetings and inquiries were directed at him, for fear that he would be hurt in the slightest in the elevator.

Chi Dong, who was pushed to the other side by Jiang Ying, finally felt relieved after seeing Bu Qianli had come out safely.

I hope everything is fine.

If something happened to his senior because he came out first, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

At this time, Bu Qianli was still surrounded by people and there was no air circulation, which made him a little irritated.

At this moment, he noticed Chi Dong's eyes looking at him. His eyebrows moved slightly, and his dark and deep eyes looked back at him intently.

He said indifferently, "The elevator malfunction has not been resolved yet, you guys hurry up."

After saying that, he ignored the group of people and strode straight towards Chidong.

A group of people were left standing there in a daze, confused.

"Xiaodong." Bu Qianli slowly stopped less than a meter away from Chidong, and said in a slightly gentle tone, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine. How about you? Are you injured?" Chi Dong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him. Instead, he was worried that Bu Qianli would be injured. After all, the elevator shook suddenly at that time with such force that it almost threw him to the other side.

If Bu Qianli hadn't grabbed him in time, he would have really crashed into it.

Hearing this, Bu Qianli just smiled calmly, with no trace of abnormality on his handsome face. "I'm fine too. It's getting late. I'll have someone take you back."

Chi Dong always believed in what he said, so he didn't doubt it and replied, "I'm glad you're fine."

Then he shook his head and rejected Bu Qianli's suggestion to send him back, "No need, I can just take the subway back by myself."

"…Listen."

Bu Qianli simply ignored Chi Dong's words of rejection, as if he couldn't hear them. Although the smile on the corner of his mouth was gentle, his eyes showed a look that would not allow others to interfere.

"Assistant Chen."

Hearing the shout, Chen Lian hurriedly walked out from behind the group of people, "Boss Bu, what do you want?"

Bu Qianli remained calm, tilted her head slightly, and said in a serious and solemn tone, "Drive him back."

"Okay, Mr. Bu." Chen Lian agreed without hesitation. He had met this young man during an interview before, but he didn't think too much about it at that time. He simply thought that Mr. Bu was concerned about the fairness of the interview, but it turned out to be for this person.

It really surprised him!
