Chapter 17: Boss, I was wrong 16
Jiang Zhi placed his phone upside down on the table, took a sip of coffee, and said slowly, "It's nothing to worry about. There's nothing to lose by scolding me. It also brings me traffic."
Impressed by Jiang Zhi's strong ability to withstand psychological pressure, Mengmeng gave him a thumbs up.
………………
During lunch break, the number of likes on the video had risen to over three million. Jiang Zhi ate snacks quietly while reading the comments.
"Dongdong"
There was a light knock on the table, Jiang Zhi looked up and saw that it was Li Lin.
"Sister Li, what's going on?"
Jiang Zhi lowered her voice to avoid waking up her colleagues who were taking a nap.
"Come with me"
After saying this, Li Lin turned around and asked Jiang Zhi to go out.
Jiang Zhi followed all the way to a lakeside park near the company.
The sun was very strong and the temperature was very high at noon, so there were few people in the park. You could only see a few elderly people sitting on the benches under the big trees to rest.
"Sister Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Lin looked up, glanced at Jiang Zhi, and hesitated to speak.
"Go ahead."
"Do you know Wang?"
Sister Li asked as she leaned against the fence by the lake.
?
Wang again?
Why is this thing everywhere?
Although he was secretly thinking about it, Jiang Zhi still nodded honestly.
Li Lin continued
"You saw what happened that day. Taoji's current development is indeed not satisfactory. I apologize in advance for concealing this from you before signing the contract."
Li Lin felt very uncomfortable when talking about this, but she had no choice. Taoji was not only her job, but also the one she poured all her efforts into. She could not watch Taoji go to destruction like this, so she selfishly made the decision to hide it from Jiang Zhi.
Now that the video has gone viral, she sees hope for Tao Ji, and the guilt in her heart is also magnified.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows. She thought Li Lin would not be honest with her.
Although she didn't care about Tao Ji's development, she just wanted to find a job to kill time, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Jiang Zhi didn't answer, Li Lin took out a cigarette box from his pocket, opened it and took out a cigarette.
"Do you mind?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head, not showing it on her face, but feeling more and more shocked in her heart. She never thought that such a self-disciplined and serious woman would actually like to smoke.
Sure enough, you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Li Lin skillfully put the cigarette into his mouth, pressed the lighter, took a deep breath, and exhaled circles of white smoke.
"I didn't expect Sister Li to smoke?"
Li Lin took another puff, holding the cigarette butt between his fingers, and sighed.
"Smoking and drinking can relieve stress, but you should not learn these things. It's not good for a pretty girl to learn these things."
Jiang Zhi snatched the burning cigarette butt from Li Lin's fingers
“If you know smoking is bad for you, then don’t smoke.”
Li Lin was a little surprised by Jiang Zhi's bold behavior, but he didn't feel offended. He didn't expect that she looked so weak and fragile, but she actually had such a strong personality.
"Okay, I won't smoke anymore. Chat with me."
"Um"
Li Lin looked at the lake shimmering in the sun, his thoughts drifting away, his voice lingering, carrying stories and vicissitudes of life.
"I have a younger brother named Li Sen. He dreamed of becoming a star since he was little. I still remember him saying he wanted to make a lot of money and buy me a big house so that I wouldn't have to worry if I couldn't get married."
"Later, a company approached him and offered him a host of unequal agreements, all of which he accepted. He worked hard to make money, livestreaming until midnight every day, suffering from stomach bleeding and insomnia. But watching the numbers in his bank account slowly increase, he was as happy as a child."
Li Lin paused, squatted down, picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake, creating ripples on the surface.
"Then what?"
Jiang Zhi asked softly
"Then he died of depression. The day before he died, he bought me a house and told me that he had saved enough money and was going to quit the internet and get married."
Li Lin still remembers the expectant look in his brother's eyes, which were full of longing for the future.
"Do you think a person who is positive and optimistic about life can suffer from depression?"
Jiang Zhi couldn't answer Li Lin's question, so he just expressed his guess.
"That company is Wang's, right? Did you join Taoji because of Wang's?"
Li Lin's expression changed instantly, his eyes were fierce and he gritted his teeth.
"So I entered Taoji, and I will repay my brother for all the injustice and humiliation he suffered in the Wang family."
"Sister Li, let me help you"
The girl spoke with a resounding voice and a smile full of confidence.
Li Lin stared at the girl blankly, a strange feeling spreading in his heart, which was conviction.
The pressure of the past few days had been immense, and Huang Jia's departure was the final straw. She had originally just been unable to contain herself and wanted to find someone to talk to, but looking at the girl's vibrant expression, she had a feeling she had made the right decision.
…………
The video went viral very quickly. Li Chuan looked at the obscene comments made by some of the men in the comment section, and his fingers pinching the phone turned blue.
What the hell?
How dare you covet my wife?
Li Chuan made a phone call
at the same time
In a cheap rental house, an obese man was huddled on a tattered and dirty sofa, picking up snacks from time to time with his hands, with silver hair flowing from the corners of his mouth to his feet. He was watching the scene of a SQ anchor dancing on the screen of his mobile phone with a lewd smile on his face. Suddenly, he found that the screen was black.
"Fuck, what a crappy phone, it's broken right after I bought it?"
The man roared angrily and slapped the screen of his phone. When the phone finally lit up, he found that the originally white screen had turned into a ghost face.
"Fuck! I'm so scared!"
The man was scared to death. He patted his heaving chest, and couldn't stop the shock on his greasy face.
………
Jiang Zhi received many private messages from media companies, all of which were invitations. She ignored them and only replied to some advertising invitations for skin care products and cosmetics.
Since she is a newcomer, the brand is not sure how much profit she can bring, so the price offered is not very high.
Jiang Zhi picked out a few skin care products that she also used and took it.
The sample arrived quickly. Jiang Zhi had used it before, so he didn't have to worry about the ingredients getting on his face. He gave some to his colleagues to try out, and planned to give the rest to Ning Taotao.
Ning Taotao has been in a bad mood recently. When Jiang Zhi gave her the skin care products, she was not very happy.
"What's wrong with you lately? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Jiang Zhi was a little worried and reached out to touch her forehead, but the temperature was normal.
I'm not sick, but why does my face look yellow?
Ning Taotao was listless and shook her head.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me"
Jiang Zhi ordered two iced lattes and pushed them in front of her.
Ning Taotao didn't drink it, holding her stomach and hesitating.
"Are you hiding something from me? Can't you tell me?"
Ning Taotao didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Zhi, so she shifted her gaze and stammered.
"Zhizhi, I want to tell you something. Don't tell anyone, especially my brother!"
Speaking of Ning Ruchen, Ning Taotao excitedly grabbed Jiang Zhi's hand.
Finally, with Jiang Zhi's consent, he stammered and said
"Zhizhi, I might be pregnant."
