Unexpectedly, she dared to talk back to him, which made the minister even angrier: "Li Ruo, I think you don't want to work here anymore."
"Then I won't do it!"
Li Ruo didn't even blink, and snorted coldly, "In short, I have to take this leave. If you agree, I'll go. If you don't agree, just fire me."
Since joining this company, she hasn't had a single day that went smoothly.
Does she deserve to be bullied?
If all else fails, I'll just leave!
After leaving behind a cold remark, Li Ruo slammed the door and left.
The minister was left standing there, his expression growing increasingly grim.
Coincidentally, not long after Li Ruo left, Wen Huaiyan appeared on the fourteenth floor under the pretext of inspecting work.
This gave the minister a good opportunity to complain. His eyes darted around and he quickly stepped forward: "President Wen, I think our company's leave policy should be improved. Otherwise, there will always be people who use annual leave as an excuse to do whatever they want."
Wen Huaiyan immediately sensed something was wrong and frowned: "What do you mean?"
The minister sneered, pointed without hesitation to Li Ruo's empty workstation, and said helplessly, "Deputy Minister Li just came to ask me for leave, saying that her adoptive mother is sick and she needs to take care of her. But before I could even approve it, she just threw the leave slip on my desk and left. What do you think of her behavior..."
However, Wen Huaiyan didn't hear a single word that followed.
He stared at Li Ruo's empty workstation for only two seconds, then whispered, "I understand!"
"ah?"
At that moment, the minister was racking his brains trying to figure out how to make things difficult for Li Ruo when he suddenly heard these words. He was slightly taken aback, and when he came to his senses, he only saw Wen Huaiyan's departing figure.
He opened his mouth, his fairly handsome face filled with confusion.
Isn't it...an inspection of work?
Wen Huaiyan had no idea what he was thinking. In fact, he came to the fourteenth floor this time specifically for Li Ruo.
These past few days, she's been leaving early and returning late more often, and every time she comes back, she smells strongly of disinfectant, which he can't ignore.
He didn't even go home yesterday, so after thinking it over, he decided to come and check on things today.
Unexpectedly, the other party took leave!
Back in his office, Wen Huaiyan frowned, remained silent for a while, and then took out his phone to call up that familiar name.
But as the busy signal rang, all that came through the receiver was a message saying "Unable to connect".
"Could something... have happened?"
Thinking of this, Wen Huaiyan's face darkened, and he got up and left the office.
At the same time, Li Ruo was unaware that Wen Huaiyan was looking for her.
She rushed to the company to ask for leave today, and didn't even have time to charge her phone. By the time she got back to the hospital, her phone was already turned off.
Looking at the black screen, Li Ruo sighed, then smiled sheepishly at the driver and searched her entire body before finally finding a banknote.
After she paid the bill and walked wearily out of the ward, she saw someone she never expected.
"Brother Jiang Ze?"
Upon seeing that familiar face, Li Ruo was startled, then a smile appeared on her face: "Why are you back now?"
If she remembered correctly, Jiang Ze's original return date was two days later.
Upon hearing her voice, Jiang Ze's eyes lit up instantly, and he sighed, "I was worried about Mom's condition, so I came back early."
"I see..."
Li Ruo nodded, but when she saw Jiang Luochu lying on the bed with his eyes closed, a few doubts flashed through her mind.
Jiang Ze probably doesn't know the situation yet. Should she... tell him or not?
Seeing her silence, Jiang Ze frowned, sensing something was amiss: "What happened?"
Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted, and Li Ruo's body stiffened. She quickly shook her head and said, "It's alright. Now that you're back, I'm relieved. You stay with Mom for a while, I'll go get the medicine."
With that, she gave a dry laugh and turned to leave.
Perhaps because she was too tired during this period, she hadn't taken more than two steps when she suddenly felt dizzy.
Immediately afterwards, everything went black, and she fell straight backward.
Damn it!
Realizing she was out of balance, Li Ru cursed under her breath and closed her eyes tightly, bracing herself for the pain to come.
The next moment, a large hand suddenly appeared on her waist, and then her body was easily lifted up.
"Brother Jiang Ze?"
Li Ruo opened her eyes in a daze, and what came into view was Jiang Ze's gentle face.
At that moment, he looked down at him with concern: "How long has it been since you've had a rest?"
"I……"
Li Ruo paused, about to speak, when suddenly her right hand was torn apart by a strong force.
Then the man's cold voice rang out: "What are you doing?"
Li Ruo was startled and quickly turned her head, only to see Wen Huaiyan's handsome face was gloomy, and his dark eyes were locked on her with anger.
"Mr. Wen?"
Li Ruo stared wide-eyed, somewhat puzzled as to why he was here.
Before she could even speak, Wen Huaiyan preemptively questioned, "You rebelled against your boss at the company just for this man?"
Knowing he had misunderstood, Li Ruo quickly shook her head: "He is..."
At the same time, a nurse suddenly ran out of the ward: "Where are Jiang Luo's family members? Jiang Luo's condition has changed, and he needs emergency treatment immediately. You need to come and sign the consent form with me."
