Chapter 5 No Time
Two days later, during her break at work, Chen Congyu called a friend who lived abroad. Because she was concerned that Chen Yao was still looking for her, she had not contacted her friends there for such a long time since she came back.
"Chen Yao is going crazy looking for you. He comes to see me every few days. He knows about your father and says you must have returned to China. I said your father treated you badly and I hated him so much, why would you go back? I guessed it right away. You definitely won't return to China."
In addition, when Chen Congyu came back, she deliberately took a long detour and transferred from the Southern Hemisphere. Chen Yao wanted to check her flight information, and Wen Song also got vague information from there.
"Don't worry for now. When Chen Yao investigates you in the future, he will find flights with your name, Chen Congyu, flying all over the world. Let him look for them slowly." These things are not difficult for Wen Song.
If it weren't for her help, Shen Congyu would not be able to deal with Chen Yao at all.
Chen Congyu leaned against the window and smoked, his mood gradually calming down, "Songsong, thank you very much, but you can't take Chen Yao lightly, you must be careful of him."
"You are the most insecure, so don't worry about me."
Compared to her, Chen Congyu is now alone and has lost all his relatives. Who needs to be more careful?
Wen Song was about to hang up in a hurry, but before he could do so, he reminded Chen Congyu, "Look for a man over there to coax and deceive. If you run into Chen Yao later, he can help you. Anyway, you and Chen Yao haven't gotten married yet."
There was no sound on the phone. Chen Congyu was still thinking about what Wen Song said, but she felt that it was not very reliable. Wen Song didn't know that she was married. Meeting Jiang Xilin when she came back was enough to make her walk on thin ice. If she found another one, she would probably die faster.
Chen Congyu pressed his solar plexus with the hand holding the thin cigarette, and felt a headache.
There were voices of several people talking not far behind him. Chen Congyu turned around unintentionally to see that the person in the middle of the crowd was Duan Zhen.
Duan Zhen also noticed her, walked a few steps, and suddenly stretched out his hand to beckon her over.
The guest is God, even if God has bad intentions, Chen Congyu has to go.
She put out her cigarette and walked over. Duan Zhen pointed at her and said to the man next to her, "Hu Zi, didn't you say she was beautiful last time? Why don't you ask her to play the piano this time?"
Hu Zi was of course happy to see someone he liked, "Okay."
Duan Zhen raised his chin proudly, not looking directly at Chen Congyu, "Let's go."
Shen Congyu didn’t know what they said about her after they met last time, but she could tell that Jiang Xilin’s girlfriend didn’t like her.
She was glad that Jiang Xilin was not here today.
The atmosphere in this group today was much more lively and active than the last time Jiang Xilin was here. Duan Zhen had drunk quite a bit of wine and hadn't received a reply to her messages to Jiang Xilin for a long time. She was irritated and upset when she saw Hu Zi carrying water to find Chen Congyu. She turned around and sent a message to Jiang Xilin.
Duan Zhen: It seems that Hu Zi is really interested in that female employee.
After thinking about it, she made a video call. The call rang for more than ten seconds and then went through.
Duan Zhen immediately switched the camera to Hu Zi and Shen Congyu.
"See how impatient Hu Zi is? I've never seen a rough guy like him be so considerate before. Brother Jiang, why don't you take the initiative and introduce that girl to Hu Zi for a play date?"
Not sure if it was a delay, but after a few seconds of silence, Jiang Xilin asked Duan Zhen, "Did you arrange for her to come to your suite?"
"Of course not. I told the manager that I could pay more for someone prettier, so she came on her own." Duan Zhen said innocently, "Brother Jiang, do you think it's possible that your employee came on her own accord after hearing Hu Zi say she was pretty? At the very least, Hu Zi could buy a few more bottles of wine and put it on her head."
Hu Zi's behavior over there was indeed very similar to what Duan Zhen said. He was quite proactive towards Shen Congyu, offering her water and asking her if she had eaten.
Although it is just a very common question, the answer is already there if you look at it in advance.
Jiang Xilin said coldly: "I don't have time to care about so many things."
Before Duan Zhen had time to be happy, Jiang Xilin had already hung up the video, which made her so angry that she drank another glass of wine.
Chen Congyu didn't want to have too much contact with Hu Zi. He was Duan Zhen's friend. Seeing the attitudes of Duan Zhen and Jiang Xilin, she didn't want to get too involved with anything related to them.
Hu Zi also noticed her alienation and asked her to finish and leave.
Shen Congyu was just happy for two minutes. Before she went downstairs, she saw the manager coming to her. He first looked at her with a complicated look, and then said, "Don't work for the next few days. Go downstairs and take care of the garden."
"Why?"
"Don't ask me. We're short-staffed. You're new here, so what's wrong with taking over as a gardener for a few days?"
Very domineering, Chen Congyu would do it even if she didn't want to.
She took a deep breath and asked, "How many days will I have to work?"
The manager said vaguely: "I'll let you know when the time comes."
Arriving at the garden, Chen Congyu realized she was specifically responsible for a large rose wall that had been transplanted not long ago. Although it was not blooming season, it still needed to be taken care of. Roses have thorns with hooks on the tips.
It's really tricky.
Chen Congyu wore gloves, but after an afternoon, she still got pricked on her fingers quite a few times, some of which were quite deep. When she got home in the evening and took a bath, she felt excruciating pain.
The next day she wanted to change into other gloves, but her colleague said they were out of stock in the past few days.
"Just make do with it for now and be careful."
Chen Congyu was very careful. The only time her hands had suffered pain in her life was when she was playing the piano, so she cared more than anyone else.
Even so, three days later, Chen Congyu's ten fingers were still densely covered with punctures, and they were always covered in gloves, which was very creepy when you looked closely.
Qi Ming came to find her and was taken to the garden. He happened to see her taking off her gloves and changing the Band-Aid. He saw the situation clearly and excitedly held Shen Congyu's hand.
Hold it in your palm.
"What happened? How did it become like this?" His tone was both surprised and distressed.
Chen Congyu told him what he had been doing these days.
The more Qi Ming listened, the more he felt it was excessive. "How could they let you do this? Are you doing this on purpose? I can't believe such a big hotel would force you to do this!"
Chen Congyu also wanted to vent her anger. Before she could pull her hand out, she was about to ask him to let her go first when she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
At the entrance of the garden, Jiang Xilin had just arrived and was standing on the steps staring at them. Perhaps because of the poor light at night, Chen Congyu felt that he looked gloomy.
It scared her.
Jiang Xilin's tone was slow and stern, "Chen Congyu, are you here to work or to catch men?"
