Chapter 33
Luo Qingli entered the company and waited for the elevator, with Ji Jinsi standing beside her.
"I'll take you here. Please be careful. Uncle Liu will come to pick you up in the afternoon." Ji Jinsi said to Luo Qingli.
Luo Qingli nodded, indicating that he understood.
The elevator arrived, Luo Qingli went in and pressed the floor button, and Ji Jinsi just waited outside until the elevator door closed.
Before the elevator door closed, Luo Qingli saw the expression on Ji Jinsi's face, which was a gentleness she had never seen before.
She looked at the numbers going up in the elevator and wondered what Ji Jinsi was trying to do. What kind of acting was he doing with that expression?
Luo Qingli, you must hold on and don't be easily seduced by his beauty!
When she reached the sixteenth floor, Luo Qingli came to the office. There was a small door in the corner of the office, which had always been closed. She walked forward and opened the door.
Just as Ji Jinsi said, there was a small room inside with a single bed and a simple wardrobe.
The three-piece set on the bed was dark gray, just like the one in Ji Jinsi's house.
Hesitantly, Luo Qingli lay on the bed.
Although it was just a bed in the company, for some reason, Luo Qingli felt as if he was lying next to Ji Jinsi, and his whole body was surrounded by the familiar fragrance.
All the past events flashed back in his mind, and Luo Qingli covered his face with the bed sheet.
Help, Luo Qingli, what are you thinking about! Calm down!
Fortunately, sleepiness defeated her wandering brain and she had a peaceful nap.
Just as Ji Jinsi said, he didn't come to Linju the whole afternoon.
I wonder why Ji Jinsi, such a busy man, would stay in one branch company all the time. Li Kun must have been on a business trip before, and Ji Jinsi came here specially to take care of Lin Ju for a while. Now that Li Kun is back, he naturally went back.
When she got off work, Uncle Liu came to pick her up.
Luo Qingli got into Uncle Liu's car. Uncle Liu was the only one in the car, Ji Jinsi was not there.
As if sensing Luo Qingli's inquiring gaze, Uncle Liu said, "The young master is going abroad, on the afternoon flight."
Luo Qingli nodded to show that he understood.
In the next few days, Luo Qingli was alone.
Jiang Ran dragged her suitcase to record a variety show and needed to stay outside for five days and four nights.
It was said that Ji Jinsi was going abroad to inspect and sign contracts. Luo Qingli even saw the news about Ji Jinsi's inspection.
The days passed very peacefully and fulfillingly until Friday.
Because it was almost the weekend, the employees were all getting ready to work, and even Feng Fang was a little distracted from work.
At half past five, Feng Fang picked up her bag.
"Qingli, I'm going to pick up the kids, so I'll leave first."
Luo Qingli nodded. Seeing that it was almost time, she prepared to pack up.
Someone sent her a message. When she opened it, it turned out to be Ji Jinsi.
"Come down to the door at six and have dinner together."
"You're back home?"
"On the way."
"Oh, okay."
After replying the message, Luo Qingli seemed to be in a better mood without even noticing it.
She couldn't tell whether it was because it was almost the weekend, or because Jiang Ran was coming back after recording the variety show, or because of Ji Jinsi.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Qingli picked up her backpack and was about to leave when someone suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
"Boss Luo, can you please do me a favor?"
Luo Qingli looked closely and found that it was Sun Liang's sister Sun Xi whom she had met before.
Seeing her anxious look, Luo Qingli asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just now my brother asked me to help him get the drawings, but there are too many of them and I can't carry them all by myself. My brother said it's urgent, so I can only ask you to do me a favor." Sun Xi looked at Luo Qingli with pleading eyes, as if she was about to cry.
"Can't you find anyone else to help you?" Luo Qingli asked doubtfully.
Logically, there are other male employees in the company. She can't move it by herself, so she should call other boys. Why call a girl like herself?
Sun Xi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't know anyone else in this company, I only know you, not many people, please help me."
Considering that Sun Xi is Sun Liang's sister, Luo Qingli nodded, thinking that she was not in a hurry.
Luo Qingli didn't notice that when she nodded, a gloating light flashed in Sun Xi's eyes.
Luo Qingli followed Sun Xi to a room in the corner of the eighth floor. The door of the room was locked.
Sun Xi took out the key, unlocked the door, opened it, and turned on the light.
Luo Qingli looked over and saw that it was a large room filled with iron shelves, on which were bundles of drawings.
Perhaps because it is used to store drawings, the warehouse has no windows, only a small exhaust fan and ventilation duct.
Because it had not been opened for a long time, the air was filled with a stagnant atmosphere.
"This is the warehouse where the blueprints are stored. Mr. Luo, can you help me look for them? I need to find the blueprints from last year."
Luo Qingli nodded, walked to a nearby shelf, and looked at the date label on it.
At this moment, Sun Xi suddenly pushed Luo Qingli hard and snatched the bag from her shoulder.
Luo Qingli was caught off guard and was pushed by Sun Xi, staggering a few steps and hitting his back against the iron rack beside him.
With a bang, Sun Xi went out and closed the door.
Luo Qingli ignored the pain in his back and ran to the door to try to open it, but found that the door had been locked from the outside by Sun Xi.
Luo Qingli suppressed his inner panic and shouted, "Sun Xi, what do you want to do?"
The door panel was not thick, and Luo Qingli could hear Sun Xi saying outside: "Of course I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Teach her a lesson? Luo Qingli didn't understand when he had offended Sun Xi.
"When did I offend you?"
"You didn't offend me, but you shouldn't have gotten so close to President Ji!"
Was it because of Ji Jinsi? Luo Qingli suddenly recalled the look Sun Xi had given Ji Jinsi. Could it be that love had turned to hate?
"I have nothing to do with Ji Jinsi, there's no point in you doing this!"
"It's meaningless? Do you think I don't know? You were pestering President Ji before, and you are still pestering President Ji now. I want to drive you away, this shameless woman, on behalf of President Ji!" Sun Xi cursed outside.
Luo Qingli was stunned. "How do you know what happened in the past?"
"Of course it's because of me, Ye Qingli, oh no, I should call you Luo Qingli now." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the door, but it made Luo Qingli feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
It was Zhao Yanran. Zhao Yanran actually came over.
Luo Qingli immediately figured out the connection and realized that Zhao Yanran and Sun Xi must have worked together.
"Zhao Yanran, what exactly do you want to do?" Luo Qingli asked calmly.
"What for? Of course, to teach you a lesson for being so ignorant. I thought you had figured it out by then, but I didn't expect you to still not give up and keep pestering Jinsi."
"Just so you know, I've never pestered Ji Jinsi!"
"So what? You shouldn't have been around Jinsi in the first place. Jinsi will only be with me, and a country bitch like you should stay away from him. There's no way he'll be with you."
Luo Qingli sneered, "You said Ji Jinsi would only be with you, so what are you doing now? What are you afraid of? You told me that Ji Jinsi was going to get engaged to you. How come, three years have passed, and you haven't become Mrs. Ji yet?"
Luo Qingli's words completely hit Zhao Yanran's sore spot. She kicked the door angrily and said angrily: "This is not something you can care about. Just wait and see, I will be the most suitable woman for Jinsi!"
Luo Qingli sneered and stopped talking. In her opinion, Zhao Yanran had completely lost her mind and was a lunatic.
Seeing that Luo Qingli stopped talking, Zhao Yanran smiled.
"Let's go, Luo Qingli, just enjoy yourself. You have to remember, this is just a warning to you. If you keep pestering Jinsi, you know the consequences."
"Sister Yanran, what about her bag?"
"Turn off your phone and leave it here."
After a while, there was no sound outside the door.
Luo Qingli leaned against the door panel and sighed. As expected, nothing good would happen if he got too close to Ji Jinsi!
She sat down on the ground, leaned against the door and smiled at herself.
Zhao Yanran, do you think you can scare me like this?
Then you are wrong. You don’t know that I have experienced this kind of thing more than once.
When she first came to North City, she was bullied by her classmates, and those people locked her in the girls' restroom in the same way.
Even at home, Ye Wanrou would deliberately trick her into going to the warehouse and lock her up there for a day and a night.
From being afraid at first to becoming accustomed to it later, she found that as long as she stopped showing a frightened expression and stopped crying for help, they would gradually lose interest.
In the end, those people just treated her as a transparent person and stopped making fun of her.
Luo Qingli looked around the warehouse. Although there were no windows, there was a ventilation system so she wouldn't suffocate. There were also lights so she wouldn't be in the dark. The only disadvantage was that no one might find her for two days or more.
However, Ranran will be back tomorrow and will definitely come to look for her if she finds that she is not at home.
And, there is Ji Jinsi.
Ji Jinsi will come to pick her up at six o'clock. She hasn't shown up and I can't get through to him on the phone. He should come to find her, right?
Luo Qingli knew that she couldn't put all her hopes on a man, but she subconsciously felt that even if she had nothing to do with a man like Ji Jinsi, he would not just leave her alone.
At least, I should think about the fact that I have been with him for more than a year. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard for him.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingli's originally uneasy heart calmed down a little.
Everything was too quiet. Luo Qingli couldn't feel the passage of time, nor did he know what time it was. He could only roughly judge from his hunger level that it should be around eight o'clock.
What took so long? Why hasn't Ji Jinsi found this place yet? There should be surveillance cameras here. Just by looking at the surveillance, you can know where Sun Xi took me, right?
Doubts gradually arose in Luo Qingli's heart.
As time went by, Luo Qingli changed his posture again. The doubts in his heart gradually turned into suspicion, worry, and finally disappointment.
Was she too confident in herself? Ji Jinsi didn't show up. Perhaps he really didn't care about her.
Endless depression spread throughout Luo Qingli's body along with the silent air.
She felt that feeling of being abandoned again.
It seemed as if no one in the whole world needed her and her existence had no meaning.
The wound on her back ached slightly, and her heart began to ache as well.
