Who would go against Chairman Mao? Tang Li isn't stupid.
She found an empty table nearby, sat down, and began to translate earnestly.
Lu Jianshen was staring at the computer screen next to him, the two of them no more than 30 meters apart.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He could have delegated the work to his colleagues, but Lu Jianshen just wanted to find an excuse to keep Tang Li by his side.
Looking at her makes Lu Jianshen feel more at ease.
While Tang Li was fully immersed in her work, her phone suddenly received a video call invitation.
She glanced to the side and saw Yan Hui.
It's been several days since Yan Hui went out to film. I haven't contacted her.
"Yan Hui, how are things over there? Are you in the desert right now?"
"Yeah, the signal here is terrible. I didn't call you the other day. I'll send you some photos later; it's the scenery here. It's so desolate!"
Yan has become much more talkative and cheerful.
Tang Li was very happy that he had made such a change.
"We've wrapped up filming now, and the whole crew is resting, which is why I have time to call you. Luckily, the signal is pretty good today..."
Tang Li had no idea that she was in Lu Jianshen's office.
She also smiled and praised Yan Hui's makeup and styling as very handsome.
Completely oblivious to the sour look and barely concealed anger emanating from the person next to them.
Where are you now? Are you still working overtime at the company so late?
"Lili, pour me a glass of water."
Lu Jianshen suddenly spoke.
He even deliberately walked behind Tang Li, got close to her ear, and barged into her video call screen.
"Want to grab a late-night snack later?" Lu Jianshen seemed to be extending an invitation, but was actually showing off.
However, Yan Hui completely ignored him, acting as if she hadn't seen him at all.
"I'm going again in a couple of days..."
Lu Jianshen couldn't stand it anymore and pulled out Tang Li's phone.
He told Yan Hui on the other end of the phone, "We still have a lot of work to do today."
After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively.
"Lu Jianshen, why did you block my video?"
"Lili, I'm paying you 30,000 yuan per hour, isn't it inappropriate for you to be video chatting here?"
Tang Li pursed her lips.
That doesn't seem quite right.
However, she can make up for the duration of the phone call later.
Lu Jianshen is truly a bona fide capitalist!
"You just made a phone call, deduct two thousand."
"What?"
Tang Li's eyes widened suddenly, and she felt a surge of anger.
On second thought, 28,000 is acceptable.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Lu Jianshen wanted to ease the tension, so he asked, "What would you like for a late-night snack?"
Want some late-night snacks?
Tang Li wouldn't dare!
"Does having a late-night snack mean I have to pay 5,000?" Tang Li asked sarcastically.
Lu Jianshen raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his handsome face. "Having a late-night snack with me doesn't count."
Tang Li snorted and ignored him.
Within half an hour, his employees brought over various late-night snacks, and Tang Li, unfortunately, became hungry.
Lu Jianshen sat down on the sofa, cleared his throat, and said, "Have a late-night snack with me, and I'll reward you with two thousand."
Tang Li immediately moved over. She wasn't stupid; there was food, drink, and money to be made.
With such a pleasant atmosphere, Lu Jianshen couldn't help but bring up the topic of remarriage.
Turning his head, he saw Tang Li completely absorbed in frying chicken, and thought to himself that he should take it slow and not rush things.
Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, once the water gets too hot, the frog will definitely run away.
————
Tang Li thought that everything would gradually get better for Yan Zhenzhen.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhongliang died just before dawn; he was smothered to death in the hospital.
When Yan Zhenzhen arrived at the ward, she completely broke down!
They were initially full of hope, believing that everything was looking up and that the Yan family would emerge from their predicament.
But now, it seems like we've suddenly returned to hell mode, even worse than before.
"dad……"
Yan Zhenzhen's younger brother, Yan Wu, is currently away on a business trip, and she doesn't even know how to tell him about it.
And my mother, she is seriously ill, I absolutely cannot let her know.
Yan Zhenzhen cried for more than half an hour in the ward until the doctor came to check on her and reminded her to keep her voice down so as not to disturb the other patients.
It's not that doctors are numb; there are just too many cases like this in hospitals.
Tang Li took some free time today and specially brought Li Cheng to see Yan Zhenzhen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the ward, she heard Yan Zhenzhen crying hysterically.
"Zhenzhen!"
Tang Li realized something was wrong and rushed over in three quick steps, pushing open the ward door.
"Zhenzhen..."
Tang Li looked at Uncle Yan lying on the hospital bed, no longer breathing, with a shocked expression.
“Lili, it’s him, he’s definitely one of Gu Qiquan’s men! They sent me threatening messages this morning, telling me that if I pursue their responsibility, I will pay the price.”
Yan Zhenzhen's hysterical cries startled Li Cheng, who was standing behind Tang Li, and he felt that they were very familiar.
At 15, he felt just as desperate when faced with his father's death.
All his misfortunes, including his father's death, were brought about by Lu Jianshen.
Even if the residential complex his father built back then had problems, Lu Jianshen couldn't go to extremes to solve the problem and drive his father to his death!
Today, Li Cheng met Yan Zhenzhen for the first time, and it was as if he saw his 15-year-old self, so desperate and helpless.
Originally, Li Cheng didn't want to look at the new case Tang Li introduced to him, but after casually glancing at the case file, he felt that it was quite similar to his own experience, so he decided to help Yan Zhenzhen.
