Chapter 60 She Deserves It
Guan Qing finished speaking in one breath, looking at Zhou Songyan with expectant eyes.
Unfortunately, Zhou Songyan's eyes remained unmoved, and his expression was indifferent.
It seemed as if this confession had nothing to do with him.
His cold gaze made Guan Qing's heart ache.
"Songyan, I truly love you, my heart is completely devoted to you..."
"Guan Qing, you've crossed the line."
Zhou Songyan coldly interrupted her.
Guan Qing: "Will you accept me?"
Zhou Songyan: "I have a girlfriend."
"She's ungrateful and doesn't deserve you."
Who gave her the audacity to ask Zhou Songyan to pursue her?
Zhou Songyan's aura suddenly turned cold: "She deserves it."
"Guan Qing, this is the last time. Remember your place. No one can question her."
Guan Qing bit her lip until it bled.
She never expected Zhou Songyan to be so protective of Li Mai.
Zhou Songyan did not linger and quickly left the ward.
His stance was clear: he chose Li Mai.
But Guan Qing will not give up.
In the quiet hospital room, she pounded the bed twice to vent her anger.
Just then, her phone rang.
See the notes displayed above.
She became even more irritable.
The bell kept ringing, then stopped and then started ringing again.
Guan Qing had no choice but to answer: "What is it?"
The voice on the other end of the phone rose: "Is this how you talk to your own mother? You unfilial daughter! Your temper is getting worse and worse, you're really getting ahead of yourself..."
"Stop with the nonsense, get to the point!"
There was a pause on the other end.
"I'm out of money, please transfer some to me."
Guan Qing's anger surged: "Money, money, money! You're calling me just for money! Am I your ATM?"
Guan's mother: "I raised you, so what's wrong with you giving me some money to spend? Your father and I have no income, so of course we have to rely on you to give us money to live."
"I heard you went back to China and joined Rongzheng Group. It's such a big company, the salary must be very high. How about giving us some money to spend?"
Guan Qing: "I've joined Rongzheng Group, but I'm just a junior employee with a low salary, and I still have to rent a place."
"Then ask your boss for it. Didn't you save him?"
Guan Qing: "..."
She felt powerless against her lazy, gluttonous, and vampire-like parents.
Over the years, she has given all the money she saved to her family.
"Mom, what are you thinking? How can I ask people for money?"
In order to leave a good impression on Zhou Songyan, she had someone regularly send her money over the past two years.
She never asked Zhou Songyan for money.
Mrs. Guan dismissed it: "You're just pretending to be high-minded! Let me tell you, money is the only good thing. You should seize this opportunity to demand a hefty sum from the Zhou family. You should have asked for it in the first place. Why did you have to choose to study abroad? You're not thinking straight!"
Guan Qing: "You don't understand anything, don't cause me any trouble."
Her goal is to marry into the Zhou family. Once she marries into the Zhou family, why would she have to worry about money? She can spend Zhou Songyan's money however she wants.
Guan's mother: "I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Just transfer the money to me."
Guan Qing: "I don't have any on hand right now. I'll wait until I get my salary next month."
"Next month! Do you want your dad and me to starve to death?!"
"If you all stop playing mahjong, you'll never starve!"
"I don't care, the money has to be in my account today! If you don't give it to me, we'll go to Beijing tomorrow and go to your boss to ask for it."
Guan Qing gritted her teeth.
Her mother was threatening her.
She couldn't let Zhou Songyan know that she had such family members.
In the end, they compromised.
"I'll transfer you two thousand first; that's all I have on hand."
...
on Monday.
Li Mai goes to the company early.
There was a morning meeting, and she needed to check the meeting content with Ji Wangyu in advance.
Ji Wangyu arrived at the company at 8:50.
Li Mai knocked on the door, entered the office in her high heels, and placed a stack of data in front of Ji Wangyu: "President Ji, these are the materials we'll need for the meeting later."
Ji Wangyu looked up at her and said, "Secretary Li, could you please make me a cup of coffee?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
Li Mai turned and left the office.
As Ji Wangyu watched her retreating figure, he felt that Li Mai seemed to have become somewhat distant from him.
A few minutes later, Li Mai returned with the coffee: "President Ji, here's your coffee."
"Secretary Li."
Ji Wangyu called out to her.
Li Mai: "President Ji, is there anything else you need?"
Ji Wangyu gave her a deep look, and finally said, "It's nothing, go out."
The meeting started promptly at nine o'clock.
Li Mai brought her assistant Liu with her this time.
Ji Wangyu glanced at it and frowned.
The meeting ended just in time for lunch.
Li Mai quickly organized the meeting minutes and went downstairs for lunch.
A new rice noodle shop has opened downstairs.
She wanted to try it, but it was crowded and she didn't like crowds, so she went into the Korean bibimbap restaurant next door.
I just ordered my food, and someone sat down in the seat opposite me.
She looked up and saw Ji Wangyu.
"Mr. Ji, you're dining here too!"
"Hmm, I've never had this before, I'll give it a try."
Do you have any recommendations?
Li Mai paused for a moment and pointed to the menu: "This one here is pretty good."
"Then let's order this."
Ji Wangyu scanned the QR code to place an order.
The small table chosen by Li Mai was a bit cramped for two people.
Li Mai felt a little uncomfortable.
After realizing that Ji Wangyu was not joking.
She couldn't face her boss with a straight face.
"Li Mai, are you still angry about what happened last Friday?"
"I was wrong, I apologize to you."
Li Mai looked up: "President Ji, I'm not angry, you don't need to apologize."
Ji Wangyu: "Really?"
"Hmm. Mr. Ji, you are my boss, so you don't need to worry about whether I'm angry or not."
"Am I such an unscrupulous boss? Besides, you're more than just a subordinate to me."
Li Mai did not respond.
I have a feeling something's wrong.
Ji Wangyu, however, had no intention of stopping: "Li Mai, you are very important to me..."
"President Ji, I know, I will work hard."
"Actually, I wasn't joking that day, I..."
"Mr. Ji, I'll go get some rice."
Li Mai interrupted him and got up from her seat.
You need to serve yourself the rice and soup here.
Ji Wangyu smiled helplessly.
Li Mai was busy serving herself rice and soup, as well as a portion for Ji Wangyu, and then ran to get two side dishes.
She didn't sit down until the meal was served.
“Li Mai, I…”
"President Ji, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Li Mai interrupted him again.
Ji Wangyu glanced at her but didn't say anything more.
The quinoa ate very quickly and almost choked to death.
Having finished eating, he wiped his mouth and stood up, saying, "President Ji, I'll head back to the company now."
Before Ji Wangyu could speak, she had already walked a long way away.
When Li Mai walked downstairs to the company, she was surprised to see Guan Qing.
The two were five meters apart.
They sized each other up.
Guan Qing walked up to Li Mai: "Miss Li, my name is Guan Qing. May we have a chat?"
Li Mai: "Miss Guan, we're not familiar with each other, what are you talking about?"
"We're not familiar with each other, that's why we need to talk."
Li Mai was also quite curious about Guan Qing. Her relationship with Zhou Songyan seemed unusual. People from Rongzheng said that Guan Qing was Zhou Songyan's white moonlight, but Zhou Songyan denied it.
Li Mai and Guan Qing went to the coffee shop next door.
The two ordered a coffee each and then sat down.
"Miss Guan, what brings you here to see me?"
