Chapter 84 What on earth did Mr. Zhou do?
Zhou Yan was gone for ten days and only made three phone calls to Lin Xu.
At other times, the messages he sent were hurried and disappeared after just a few words.
Lin Xu felt distressed and uneasy.
Han Jingyi gave the job that Lin Xu rejected last Friday to Hongmao. Han Jingyi went on a business trip with Hongmao and the project discussions went smoothly.
Moreover, Han Jingyi suddenly became cold towards Lin Xu.
Lin Xu didn't care. It would be best if Han Jingyi didn't act crazy. The two of them just had an ordinary employment relationship.
But Hongmao cared. He finally felt proud and became more and more sarcastic towards Lin Xu, which made Tengqiu so upset that he retorted to him several times.
Lin Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him, nor did he have the heart to pay attention to him. As long as he didn't get angry with him, Lin Xu would pretend not to hear him.
When confronted with a question, Lin Xu would hit back without mercy. After a few times, Hong Mao would no longer confront him face to face.
Chen Jinhe finally escaped from Wang Xiu's clutches and went home to visit her relatives.
Lin Xu went to work and came home as usual, busy with his work while waiting for news from Zhou Yan.
After a rain, the weather seemed to suddenly turn cold.
These days, Lin Xu has been sleeping in Zhou Yan's room.
Being surrounded by Zhou Yan's scent can make him feel more secure in the middle of the night.
On the tenth day, Lin Xu did not wait for news from Zhou Yan, so he brought Chen Jinhe back first.
Because Wang Xiu only gave him ten days of leave.
Chen Jinhe went to the company to find Lin Xu at noon and gave him the specialty snacks he brought back from home.
"I brought back two, one for you and one for Lao Wang."
Lin Xu could smell the fragrance through the bag: "The bacon you make is the best I've ever had. But I can't make it even if you give it to me. I'll take the sausages, but you can give the bacon to Old Wang."
"Why give him so much? He's single, and if he ate it all himself, he wouldn't be fat. Middle-aged weight gain is very common. Put it in the refrigerator and wait for your Mr. Zhou to come back and make it for you."
After Chen Jinhe finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xu's pale face and asked, "Hasn't he said when he'll be back?"
Lin Xu said weakly, "No. Tell me, what could keep him so busy?"
Chen Jinhe shook his head. "How would I know? But you don't have to worry too much. His house and car are in your hands. It's like all the wealth he's worked hard for in the past thirty years is handed over to you. Are you still afraid that he will run away?"
"I'm not afraid that he will run away, I just... I just miss him." Lin Xu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
"Oh, okay, okay. I understand. How about you stay in my dorm for a few days? I'll save you from feeling lonely."
"Then let's not do that. I feel more at ease at home. What if he suddenly comes back one day?"
Chen Jinhe was speechless: "Tsk tsk, home, okay, you two are from the same family, I am being sentimental."
The two of them were arguing with each other, and Lin Xu put all the things Chen Jinhe gave him in the car to prevent the office area from being filled with smell.
Back at the company, Lin Xu said to Teng Qiu, "My friend brought back some bacon from his hometown. I'll bring you some after get off work tonight."
Since joining the company, Teng Qiu has been his best colleague, so when there is something good, Lin Xu naturally thinks of her first.
"Did you make it at home? It must be delicious. Thank you in advance." Teng Qiu thanked with a smile.
"What's that stinky smell in this room?" Hongmao suddenly said.
Lin Xu and Teng Qiu looked at each other and ignored him.
Hongmao continued relentlessly, "It's very difficult to change one's social class. Even if you have a good relationship with this boss or that boss, you can't become a boss yourself."
Shen Gu beside him reminded awkwardly: "Stop talking."
"Tell me what's wrong? Some people just rely on their connections with President Han to look down on everyone else. They even shamelessly claim that they rely on their abilities, but who knows what abilities they rely on?"
It's okay that he's sarcastic usually, but what he said today was really harsh.
Lin Xu was already annoyed, and he had made her even more annoyed these past few days. She threw the documents in her hand on the table and stood up: "Are you done yet? Come on, come on, tell me everything you have to say today. Stop looking for trouble every day."
Hong Mao also stood up: "What did I say wrong? Otherwise, how can you, a person with no experience, get so many resources just by joining the company?"
"Then go talk to Han Jingyi. He assigned the order, and I'll naturally take it if I'm capable. What's the problem with that?"
"Haha, ability, your ability is just to seduce men, I really can't compare to that."
"Keep your mouth shut! I have nothing to do with Han Jingyi."
"It has nothing to do with him, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Zhou downstairs, right? He's our client, so even Mr. Han has to give him some respect. You're living with him, isn't that a fact?"
It would have been fine if Hong Maoguang had just mentioned Han Jingyi, but involving Zhou Yan caused Lin Xu to completely explode.
"Your mind is full of shit, right? Zhou Yan and I are landlord and tenant. We have a rental agreement. It's not about the dirty stuff you think. Our company's affairs have nothing to do with Zhou Yan!"
"Not involved? If he's not involved, how can he--" Hongmao spoke without thinking in a hurry. Chengu, who was beside him, pulled him back and gave him a look, and he shut up.
But it was too late. Lin Xu had already sensed something was wrong and asked with a frown, "What can he do? What happened to Zhou Yan?"
"Not so good." Hong Mao tried to change the subject. "Humph, now Mr. Han can't protect you anymore, so you're on your own."
After saying that, Hongmao sat on the chair with his back to Lin Xu and stopped arguing with him.
Lin Xu looked at Chen Gu, who avoided his gaze and sat down as well.
Lin Xu looked at Teng Qiu again.
Teng Qiu quickly waved his hands: "I don't know either. Didn't you say he went abroad on business?"
As soon as Teng Qiu finished speaking, Lin Xu ran out to call the elevator.
The words that Hongmao hesitated to say were definitely not just to make himself nervous and anxious. He must have known something and almost blurted it out.
Lin Xu pressed the floor number of Zhou Yan's company and rushed over directly.
The receptionist was busy when he felt a dark figure rushing in. He quickly ran over to stop him: "Hey, Mr. Zhou is not here, don't go in."
"What on earth did your General Manager Zhou do?" Lin Xu asked.
"He's on a business trip."
The receptionist answered fluently, and the information was the same as what Lin Xu knew.
But Lin Xu just felt that something was wrong.
He looked back at the office area, and the employees who were originally watching the excitement immediately lowered their heads.
Lin Xu felt even more suspicious.
Normally, these people like to tease him and Zhou Yan when they see him, but now he looks like he can't even hide away, so who would believe him if he says nothing is wrong?
But what could happen to Zhou Yan?
Lin Xu was extremely anxious, as the receptionist and the secretary were speaking the same story and he couldn't find any flaws.
Lin Xu suddenly had an idea: "Well, let me give your CEO Zhou a potted plant. He's been out for so many days, so he definitely needs pruning. I'll go take a look."
"This..." The secretary was a little embarrassed.
The manager’s office certainly cannot be entered by anyone, but Lin Xu is different.
The moment the secretary hesitated, Lin Xu rushed in.
"Please help me get a pair of scissors." Lin Xu said.
This plant was well cared for, but only watered and mopped, and no one trimmed the branches that grew out of it.
Seeing that Lin Xu was really going to trim the plants, the secretary went to get him a pair of scissors.
As soon as she left, Lin Xu quickly closed and locked the office door.
Generally, the general manager’s computer has the company’s monitoring software. Lin Xu wanted to see if anything happened in their company before Zhou Yan left.
