Chapter 55 You Use My Things to Please Other Men
Li Mai smiled without saying a word.
Since we're talking about family...
Zhou Songyan simply introduced all her family members.
"Besides my grandma, my dad, my aunt's family, I also have a second uncle."
Li Mai pursed her lips. Zhou Songyan didn't mention his mother. Five years ago, when they were still together, Zhou Songyan mentioned that his parents had divorced.
Seeing that Li Mai did not respond, Zhou Songyan took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at it.
I noticed there were 99 messages in the family group chat.
He set the family group chat to "Do Not Disturb," so he didn't hear the message just now.
He clicked on it out of curiosity, and his aunt tagged him several times. He read the message from beginning to end.
She looked up at Zhang Junzheng, who was hiding behind the bar, her eyes cold.
Zhang Junzheng covered his face with his hands, trying to deceive himself.
He sent Zhang Jingran a private message: 【Oh no! My brother's angry, he's glaring at me.】
Zhang Jingran sent over a sympathetic emoji.
Zhou Songyan did not reply to the messages in the group chat, and he did not listen to the several voice messages his father, Zhou Jingtian, sent.
No one was allowed to disturb him and Li Mai's meal.
When the meal was served, the two ate in silence, with Zhou Songyan occasionally putting food on Li Mai's plate.
Li Mai didn't react much. She would eat whatever was put on her plate, since refusing wouldn't make a difference anyway.
I have a meeting this afternoon, so I need to hurry up and eat.
After they finished eating, Zhang Junzheng eagerly saw them to the door: "Beautiful ladies, come again next time!"
"You can come even without my brother. Bring your family and friends, and I'll give you a free meal."
Haha, a free meal is out of the question.
It's a small business, and I'm keeping the accounts under my cousin's name.
After all, his restaurant relies on his cousin, a major customer, for its annual spending accounts for 80% of his KPIs.
Zhou Songyan thought Zhang Junzheng's words were quite good and gave him an appreciative look.
Finally, he had struck a chord with his cold-hearted cousin, and Zhang Junzheng chuckled smugly.
Li Mai politely replied, "Thank you."
...
Back in the underground parking garage of Rongzheng Group.
Zhou Songyan took a few steps and realized that Li Mai had not followed.
He turned his head.
Li Mai crawled slowly, and hadn't gone even a meter in half a day.
So I stopped and waited for her.
"Li Mai, are you a turtle?"
Li Mai glanced at him and said, "You go up first, I'll take the next elevator."
Zhou Songyan stared at her intently.
He used to be afraid that Li Mai would cling to him, but now Li Mai avoids him like the plague, afraid that others will find out about their affair.
He gritted his teeth, feeling very unhappy.
"No need for trouble, I'll take my private elevator, you can take the other elevator."
Li Mai: "..."
She forgot that domineering CEOs like Zhou Songyan have their own private elevators.
She pursed her lips: "That's better."
Li Mai walked over and pressed the elevator button.
While she was waiting for the elevator, Zhou Songyan had already taken his private elevator up and it soon stopped on the 22nd floor.
After entering the elevator, Li Mai pressed the button for the 16th floor; the conference room was over there.
Ji Wangyu was already in the conference room.
Li Mai sat down behind him, feeling a little embarrassed.
When Ji Wangyu asked her where she was, she hesitated and wanted to lie to him.
Lying is always embarrassing.
But she felt there was no need to explain her relationship with Zhou Songyan to her boss.
This is her private matter.
"President Ji, what was it that you said you had questions for me?"
Ji Wangyu stared at her for a while.
He had no problem; he was just looking for an excuse to have dinner with Li Mai.
Who knew that Zhou Songyan had tricked him and he hadn't gotten his wish.
Looking into Li Mai's clear eyes, Ji Wangyu said, "It's been resolved."
Li Mai: "It's good that it's resolved."
"Mr. Ji, have you eaten?"
"I didn't eat."
Li Mai wanted to go downstairs to buy him a light meal, but then she glanced at the time.
"It's too late, Mr. Ji. I saw that there are a lot of snacks in Rongzheng's tea room. I'll go get you some to tide you over."
Ji Wangyu did not refuse: "I'll trouble Secretary Li."
Without delay, Li Mai got up and went to the tea room.
Ji Wangyu is her boss, and serving him is her duty.
The tea room at Rongzheng Group is well-stocked with various items.
Various herbal teas, coffees, beverages, yogurts, snacks, and small treats.
Li Mai took a snack and a cup of coffee, and carried them to the conference room.
On the way, they ran into Zhou Songyan and Sun Yuanjie, who were coming down from the elevator.
Zhou Songyan glanced at her busy hands: "Not full?"
Li Mai: "It wasn't for me to eat; it was for President Ji. He didn't have lunch."
Zhou Songyan's face darkened instantly: "You used my things to please other men? Li Mai, you're really something!"
Li Mai: "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean I used your things to please another man?"
"First of all, Mr. Ji is my boss, and taking care of his meals is part of my job. I'm not trying to curry favor with him. Even if I were, it would be normal, since he pays my salary."
"Secondly, we came to Rongzheng Group for a meeting, so it's normal for Rongzheng Group to provide some food, right? Why are you being so stingy? I only took a pastry and a cup of coffee, and President Zhou is so upset about it. People probably won't believe it if they hear about it."
Zhou Songyan understood this principle; Li Mai was working.
But he just couldn't stand Li Mai being nice to other men.
He was jealous, insanely jealous.
Not knowing what to say, he angrily snatched the coffee from Li Mai's hand and drank it down in one gulp.
Li Mai: "..."
Sun Yuanjie: "..."
He admired how his boss could act crazy as if it were perfectly justified.
Zhou Songyan shoved the empty cup back into Li Mai's hand and said with disdain, "What flavor? It tastes awful!"
He still prefers iced Americano.
Li Mai: "..."
She was speechless.
Zhou Songyan stared at the pastries in her hand and snatched them away as well.
But he really couldn't eat it; he didn't like sweets, so he turned and handed it to Sun Yuanjie: "You eat it."
Sun Yuanjie: "..."
He felt embarrassed and wanted to cover his face.
Li Mai was so angry that her chest heaved.
How can there be such a person?
But this is Rongzheng Group, and she can't say anything since she's taking their things.
So he stormed off to the conference room.
Sun Yuanjie caught up with Li Mai while eating a snack: "Miss Li, did President Ji tell you he didn't have lunch?"
Li Mai's expression wasn't good, but she still controlled her temper and said, "Mm."
Sun Yuanjie: "That's not right. I saw President Ji at the Western restaurant across the street at noon. He was sitting to my right."
“I saw him order a steak, a tuna salad, a soup of the day, and then add a dessert, which he finished.”
"I was amazed at how good President Ji's appetite was."
Li Mai: "..."
