Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi deliberately feigned surprise: "The department has been so busy lately, and she's still taking such a long leave. It seems a bit inappropriate. Doesn't this show a complete disregard for Wen's rules and regulations?"
Who goes to work so casually, leaving whenever they want?
The minister naturally understood her implication, but thinking of Wen Huaiyan's protection, he still sighed: "When she comes back, I will have a good talk with her."
"That's all?"
Wen Zhi's face darkened: "She's already so arrogant, and you're just going to talk about her?"
The minister frowned subconsciously, not expecting Wen Zhi to be so agitated: "Then what do you want?"
Wen Zhi gritted her teeth: "According to company rules, anyone who is absent from work for more than three days a month has to be fired!"
Upon hearing this, the minister fell silent instantly.
That being said, how could he possibly have the right to tell the people around him to get lost?
Seeing his silence, Wen Zhi grew anxious: "Say something! Isn't she one of your subordinates? Can't you even handle such a small matter?"
As she spoke, she stood up abruptly: "Or are you saying that you don't care about me at all and just stand by and watch Li Ruo bully me?"
Upon hearing this, the minister quickly explained, "How could I not care about you? If I didn't care about you, why would I have targeted Li Ruo for you before? It's just that I can't touch her right now."
"Why?"
Wen Zhi was somewhat confused and stared straight at him.
Normally it would be fine, but now that such a good opportunity has come about, and it's because Li Ruo made a mistake on her own initiative, what's there to hesitate about?
Faced with Wen Zhi's questioning, the minister did not answer, but silently lowered his head.
If even Wen Zhi, the eldest daughter of the Fu family, couldn't do it, how could he possibly do it?
His future was at stake, and he really didn't need to offend Wen Huaiyan because of Li Ruo.
Seeing him fall silent once again, Wen Zhi could no longer bear it.
"Useless thing!"
She cursed inwardly, but a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Since that's the case, then forget it. I suddenly remembered that I have a family video conference to attend later, so I'll be going now."
With that, she grabbed her bag and stood up to leave.
But after taking only two steps, the minister grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
The minister's tense expression relaxed as he smelled her familiar scent. He buried his head in her neck, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "Don't leave tonight. Stay with me, okay?"
As he spoke, his hands began to roam restlessly over Wen Zhi's body.
The minister was not old, even two years younger than Wen Huaiyan, and extremely handsome, truly a young talent.
Wen Zhi was drawn to him because of his face, which is why she had the idea of getting close to him.
Otherwise, given her status, if she really wanted to deal with Li Ruo, why would she need to rely on a man?
However, after being together for two or three months, the man's attraction to her had long since diminished.
If he can't even handle something as small as dealing with Li Ruo, then there's no point in keeping him around.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhi pushed him away without hesitation.
She straightened her collar and said coldly, "I told you, I have things to do!"
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
Watching her retreating figure, the minister sighed silently.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he could clearly sense Wen Zhi's distance from him.
the next day.
Li Ruo went to the hospital to see Jiang Luo as usual, but as soon as she entered the ward, she saw an unexpected figure.
"Mr. Wen?"
Are you kidding me? Wen Huaiyan went to the company, what's he doing here?
Seeing Li Ruo standing there in a daze, Jiang Luo frowned in confusion: "Ruo Ruo, what's wrong with you? Your boss took time out of his busy schedule to come see me, why didn't you even say hello?"
Reminded by her, Li Ruo finally came to her senses, but she was even more surprised when she heard what she heard.
What on earth is this man doing?
"Hello, Mr. Wen!"
She gave a fake smile, but her beautiful big eyes were glaring frantically at Wen Huaiyan.
However, no matter how she tried to signal him, Wen Huaiyan acted as if he didn't see it and casually turned to Jiang Luochu and said, "Li Ruo has performed well at the company and has made a lot of contributions, so when I heard that Auntie was hospitalized, I came to visit her."
As he spoke, he emphasized, "Here, there are only friends, no superiors or subordinates."
These words brought a noticeable hint of joy to Jiang Luo's pale face.
Her biggest worry has always been Li Ruo. She worried about her when she was still in the Li family, and she still worries about her when her children grow up and start working, fearing that her youngest daughter might be bullied when she can't see her.
Hearing Li Ruo being praised, she couldn't help but smile: "Then I'm relieved!"
Wen Huaiyan nodded and then asked, "How is Auntie's health recovering lately?"
Jiang Luo glanced at Li Ruo subconsciously, then shook his head with a touch of melancholy: "Sigh, my health has never been good, and I'm always causing trouble for the children. They're already busy with work, and now they have to take time out to take care of me. And to make matters worse, I'm not very strong; I don't know how much longer I have to live..."
