Chapter 31 You don't need to remind me over and over again
Zhou Songyan did not answer.
Li Mai knew he had a knot in his heart.
Zhou Songyan stared at her: "You're not agreeing to my proposal because you've taken a liking to Ji Wangyu, right?"
"He's not as rich as me, and he'd never marry you."
Li Mai's anger was instantly ignited.
"I know without you reminding me! I have no intention of marrying President Ji, you don't need to remind me again and again!"
“I’m just an ordinary person with no distinguished family background. I’m not good enough for President Ji, nor am I good enough for you, President Zhou!”
Li Mai pushed him away and ran away.
Zhou Songyan repeatedly told her that Ji Wangyu would not marry her, and Zhou Songyan's friends also mocked her.
She hadn't thought that way.
Why should we take the blame for this?
They looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhou Songyan used to be high and mighty in front of her, but what is he now? A handout?
When Zhou Songyan chased after her, Li Mai had already driven away.
He got into his car, intending to chase after them, but then remembered he'd been drinking and had to give up.
He punched the steering wheel.
My phone rang.
He answered the call.
A soft voice came from the other end: "Songyan, I'm back."
...
Li was driving, her vision blurred with tears.
She parked the car on the side of the road and cried for a long time, burying her face in the steering wheel.
I restarted the car after I calmed down a bit.
Back home, You Huan got up and went to her: "Chengcheng is asleep. Oh? What's wrong?"
She noticed that Li Mai's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.
Li Mai changed her shoes and went inside.
You Huan followed behind her, her face full of anxiety.
She knew that Li Mai had gone to pick up her boss, Ji Wangyu, and that he had drunk too much.
"Li Mai, did Ji Wangyu bully you? That playboy, I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Li Mai stopped her: "No, I ran into Zhou Songyan."
"It's Zhou Songyan again! What did he do to you?"
Li Mai leaned on You Huan's shoulder, looking very down.
Li Mai didn't say anything in the end, but You Huan knew she was very sad.
She didn't go back; she stayed with Li Mai in the Heyun residential area.
The next day, Li Mai called Ji Wangyu: "Mr. Ji, how's your hand?"
Ji Wangyu: "Don't worry, it will recover in a few days."
"President Ji, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this."
Ji Wangyu felt guilty.
"Li Mai, you don't need to apologize."
"Everything they want is because of me, Zhou Songyan..."
Ji Wangyu's expression darkened, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What is your relationship with Zhou Songyan?"
This was the second time Ji Wangyu had asked her this question.
Li Mai no longer hid anything: "Five years ago, we spent some time together in Suzhou."
Ji Wangyu took a deep breath; his chest ached, and his hands ached as well.
He asked with difficulty, "Where's Chengcheng? Is he his?"
Li Mai felt there was no need to hide it, and Ji Wangyu wasn't stupid either, so he said in a low voice, "Mm."
Ji Wangyu leaned against the hospital bed, raising his hand to rub his temples.
Although he had already guessed it, hearing it from Li Mai himself still struck him like a heavy blow.
There was silence on the other end for a long time.
Li Mai: "President Ji, are you still in the hospital? I'll come see you in a bit."
Ji Wangyu really wanted to agree, but when he thought of Zhou Songyan's bloodthirsty eyes last night, he still refused.
"No need, I'll be discharged soon."
Li Mai had no choice but to give up.
on Monday.
When Li Mai met Ji Wangyu at the company, his hands were still not very nimble.
Li Mai felt very guilty.
They served Ji Wangyu tea and water with great attentiveness.
Ji Wangyu chuckled: "Secretary Li, you really don't need to do this."
Li Mai: "Yes, you got hurt because of me."
Ji Wangyu: "Then you have to take responsibility for me and marry me."
Li Mai: "..."
Ji Wangyu burst into laughter: "Look how scared you are, I was just joking with you."
Li Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
She was terrified.
"President Ji, I'm a very timid person, please don't make jokes like that."
Ji Wangyu: "Even though I'm an illegitimate child, I'm still a rich second-generation heir, with money and good looks. Shouldn't you be happy to let me marry you? Why are you so scared!"
Li Mai turned around, made him a cup of tea, and placed it beside him: "I wouldn't dare to presume to be associated with President Ji."
A flicker of disappointment crossed Ji Wangyu's eyes, but quickly...
Li Mai didn't notice.
"President Ji, I'll head out now. Call me if you need anything."
Li Mai opened the door and went out.
Ji Wangyu leaned back in his chair, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
In the afternoon, Ji Wangyu had to leave the company.
Li Mai was summoned to Ji Kun's office: "Secretary Li, here is a document. Please deliver it to General Manager Zhou of Rongzheng Group."
Li Mai dared not refuse.
This is work.
She arrived at Rongzheng with the documents in her hand. The surface parking lot was full, so she parked her car in the underground garage.
Take the elevator to the first floor.
I was just about to greet the receptionist.
I saw a tall and straight figure.
A woman wearing a white knitted dress followed beside him.
The two receptionists whispered among themselves.
"Miss Guan looks even more beautiful after returning from her studies abroad, and her fashion sense has improved a lot."
"I heard that Miss Guan is Mr. Zhou's ideal woman. Mr. Zhou has been waiting for her, not dating or getting married."
"Huh? Really?"
"I heard it from someone else. Apparently, the Zhou family introduced eight potential partners to Mr. Zhou at the same time, and he scolded them all until they cried."
"After that, the Zhou family stopped arranging blind dates for him. Mr. Zhou used this method to resist his family; he wanted to wait for Miss Guan to return."
"Wow! How affectionate! If a man treated me like that, even if he wasn't rich, I would be content."
"Miss Guan has returned after completing her studies; her good news with President Zhou should be imminent."
"I heard that Miss Guan's decision to study abroad was also sponsored by President Zhou."
Wow! I'm so envious of Miss Guan!
Zhou Songyan and Guan Qing walked out of the Rongzheng Group building.
The two young receptionists turned around, saw Li Mai, and were surprised for two seconds.
"Secretary Li, you've arrived."
Li Mai has visited Rongzheng twice, and the receptionist already recognizes her.
Li Mai gave a faint smile: "Hello, I'm here to deliver some documents. Please give them to General Manager Zhou for me."
Li Mai left the documents and went away.
"Secretary Li, wait a minute!"
Li Mai didn't stop and had already entered the elevator.
The receptionist hurriedly called Sun Yuanjie: "Secretary Sun, Secretary Li from Ji's just came over to deliver the data, dropped it off, and left."
Sun Yuanjie had instructed him to notify Secretary Li when he came to deliver the documents.
Both times Secretary Li came over, Secretary Sun personally came down to greet her.
The receptionist assumed that Secretary Li had some connection with Rongzheng's senior management, which was why she received special treatment.
Before they could stop her, Secretary Li had already left.
If the higher-ups blame us, we're finished.
Sun Yuanjie was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Have someone send the data up."
"Yes, Secretary Sun."
The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that her superiors hadn't blamed her.
Sun Yuanjie called Zhou Songyan: "President Zhou, Miss Li just came over to deliver the data."
Zhou Songyan: "Where is he? Is he still there?"
"She left, leaving the documents at the front desk before departing."
Zhou Songyan's eyes darkened.
Sun Yuanjie hung up the phone.
"Songyan, what's wrong?" Guan Qing noticed that Zhou Songyan's expression was off after he finished the phone call.
