Li Baobei quickly unlocked the screen and opened the chat interface with He You.
He Ji: "Are you alright?"
Her eyes widened suddenly. "Why did He Ji ask me this now, at such an inopportune moment?"
"Does he already know what's going on at the company?"
“Oh well, we’ll find out sooner or later anyway,” Li Baobei replied. “That’s fine.”
He Ji stood in front of the screen for a long time, wondering what else he should say.
In the end, all I could reply was a curt, "That's good."
"I'll handle the rumors circulating in the company."
"Is he concerned about me?" Li Baobei looked at the chat box on the screen, her mood gradually improving, and her smile widened. "Manager He, I can handle it myself, thank you for your kindness."
"A thank you emoji."
Upon seeing her reply, He Ji felt his initial enthusiasm gradually fade. "Does she really reject me that much?"
He Ji fell into deep thought.
beep beep~
Guan Ye: "What are you doing, Lao He? Come out! Come out! I need to talk to you."
He Ji: " "
Guan Ye: "I'm going back to China this weekend, come pick me up."
He Ji: "I'm not coming."
Guanye: "..."
"AA Airport, Saturday morning at 11 a.m., I'll be waiting for you."
He Ji: "I'm asleep."
Guan Ye: "Are you kidding me? It's only eight o'clock, bro!"
...
Wednesday.
Li Baobei was revising the plan at her desk, but she always felt like someone was watching her.
She looked up but saw no one. "How strange."
"I probably haven't been sleeping well lately~ I keep startling myself, I need to go home and rest properly today."
It was already past 8 p.m. when she left the company.
A figure suddenly appeared in the empty office. Wu Juan quickly turned on Li Baobei's work computer, seemingly searching for something.
She then discovered that Li Baobei's work files were all locked, and she instantly felt a little discouraged. But then she remembered her bet, "I have to ask Xiaomei for help tomorrow..."
She turned on her phone, found Xiaomei, and said, "Xiaomei, I need your help..."
The next morning, Li Baobei arrived at her desk, looking refreshed. "Someone tampered with my computer?"
She noticed that the locked files on her computer desktop had been password-protected twice, around 9 p.m. last night.
"Heh~"
"What a despicable and underhanded tactic, never mind~"
She continued revising the document. Tomorrow was the last day; she should just focus on her own work and not think about anything else.
Xiao Mei glanced at Li Baobei, who was engrossed in her work, then turned to look at Wu Juan beside her. The two exchanged a knowing look, and Xiao Mei, carrying the documents, walked towards Li Baobei's seat.
"Team Leader Li, I'd like to ask how this plan can be modified?" Xiao Mei said, standing next to Li Baobei and placing the document on her desk.
Li Baobei glanced at the document on the table; she had already prepared a preliminary plan for it last week.
"Wait a minute, let me send you the file I modified first. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."
Xiao Mei had a smile on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Li Baobei's hands as she typed the password.
Li Baobei didn't look up at her, and clicked to send the file to Xiaomei's work account. "I've already forwarded it to you. Ask me again if you don't understand."
Xiao Mei quickly thanked them, "Okay! Thank you, team leader." Then she turned around and returned to her seat.
Whispering to Wu Juan...
As soon as it was time to leave work, Li Baobei rushed out of the company. "If I don't leave early, won't I be making some people wait too long?"
I never intended to harm anyone, but if someone insists on doing so, I can't blame myself...
Having not seen He Ji for several days, Li Baobei lay in bed looking at her chat history with He Ji.
I wish I could recite every single sentence verbatim.
"He Ji is the son of the CEO of the He Group, and he will definitely take over the company in the future, so it's normal that he's not often in their department."
"I bet he's busy!"
"well……"
A voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "Li Baobei, what are you doing all day? Why do you keep thinking about He Ji?"
Another voice: "You've fallen in love with him, haven't you?"
"No, I didn't. How could I possibly fall in love with him? There's no way we could ever be together."
Another voice: "Are you afraid to face it because you're insecure?"
“I…I might really like him, but I know I’m not good enough for him.”
"well……"
She and He Ji were from two completely different worlds. "Wake up, Li Baobei!"
A notification sound rang out.
Li Baobei glanced at the notification message on her phone in despair, "He Ji!!!"
"Is your foot better?"
Looking at the messages on the chat interface, Li Baobei felt the whole world become more vibrant, and the loneliness she had just felt completely disappeared.
"It's all better now."
"Thank you for your concern, Manager He."
"A thank you emoji."
He Ji looked at the reply on the screen, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. As long as he could feel her presence, the world didn't seem so cold anymore.
His thoughts suddenly drifted back to a day more than ten years ago...
The mother held her baby and wept in the empty room.
At the time, he didn't know why his mother was crying, but the next day he saw his mother lying on the bed, barely alive.
She seems to have fallen asleep.
