"you!"
Li Chengye's eyes widened suddenly. When he met the woman's mocking gaze, he could no longer control his anger and grabbed her shoulders tightly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe that you haven't felt a single thing for me all this time?"
Because he was excited, he didn't suppress his voice, and it quickly reached Li Ruo's ears, who had come to report on his work.
At that moment, the office door was slightly ajar, revealing the entire scene inside, which made Li Ruo's eyes widen instantly.
What's going on here?
Seemingly hearing the noise outside the door, the two people inside were startled. Li Chengye came to his senses, quickly took a step back, and then pretended to be nonchalant, straightening his clothes.
Only after confirming that he hadn't lost his composure did he turn around and look at the door.
"Get in here!"
Oh no, we've been caught peeping!
Li Ruo let out a soft cry and cautiously pushed open the door: "Don't worry, I didn't see anything."
Although she didn't know the details of the two people's situation, she didn't want to get involved in it.
But Wen Zhi had no intention of letting her off so easily. She first glared at Li Chengye before walking over in a few steps: "Vice Minister Li is back. Why didn't you say hello to me?"
Knowing that she was deliberately causing trouble, Li Ru blinked and asked, "Did Director Wen want to see me about something?"
Wen Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth and deliberately said, "According to the company's rules and regulations, when Deputy Minister Li returns from his business trip, he should immediately hand over the recent work to his colleagues in the department. It just so happens that your department has a new project recently. Take a look at it and get the proposal done for me before tonight."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo sneered as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said, "Director Wen, this business trip was specifically requested by Director Wen. After returning, I only need to hand over and organize the project materials from the business trip with his secretary. As for the new project you mentioned, since someone has already done it, shouldn't I be the one to write the proposal?"
And it has to be done before tonight, which is clearly deliberately making things difficult for people.
It's important to understand that once a project is finalized, it's unlikely to be redone by a different person.
If she intervenes now, it will only make her colleagues dislike her more, thinking that she is trying to steal other people's projects.
But Wen Zhi didn't care about all that; all she wanted was to see Li Ruo make a fool of herself.
“Vice Minister Li, as the deputy minister of the department, I think you should set an example for everyone. You can’t just abandon this project just because it’s not your responsibility. I put you in this position to manage everyone, not to sit back and enjoy the benefits.”
As a member of the Wen family, although Wen Zhi had no prior experience in company affairs, after a period of training, she became quite adept at handling matters.
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Li Ruo: "You went on a business trip with President Wen, so you must have gained some experience. You can set an example and share it with everyone, so this proposal is perfect for you."
Having said all that, most people would have no choice but to give in, but Li Ruo didn't tolerate it at all.
"I don't……"
But just as she was about to refuse, Li Chengye, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Li Ruo doesn't need to make this proposal."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was taken aback, somewhat confused about what he meant.
After all, this guy has always been on Wen Zhi's side, so why would he speak up for her now?
Even more incredulous than her was Wen Zhi: "What did you say?"
At that moment, she thought she had misheard.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengye strode directly between the two, his eyes deep: "Director Wen, Li Ruo went on a business trip with you. Even if she comes back, you should arrange her work for the next few days. You have no right to assign her tasks. Besides, that project wasn't her responsibility in the first place. What are you asking her to do? It involves some trade secrets. If something goes wrong, can you afford to take responsibility?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi was immediately enraged: "What do you mean? You actually dare to contradict me for her sake? Are you out of your mind?!"
But at this moment, Li Chengye was already feeling frustrated, so of course he wouldn't be as obedient to her as before: "What do you mean by this, Director Wen? I'm just following the company's rules and regulations, what's wrong with that?"
He had a smile on his face, but his tone was filled with a deep chill.
Especially when he saw the anger on Wen Zhi's face, he curled his thin lips slightly and said, "Besides, just as you said, we have no relationship at all, so why can't I refute you?"
These two people are definitely not simple!
Hearing what he said, Li Ruo's eyes lit up, and a hint of gossip unconsciously arose in her heart.
She subconsciously turned to look at Wen Zhi, only to find that the young lady's usually arrogant face had an unusually aggrieved expression.
"Then you'd better not regret it!"
After saying that, she stomped her foot angrily and stormed out of the office.
Watching Wen Zhi's sullen back, Li Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes burning with a strong desire for gossip.
But the next second, before she could react, Li Chengye scolded her: "What are you looking at? Who gave you the guts to spy on your boss's affairs?"
