Chen Shuyuan hasn't finished speaking yet.
Manager Zhao glanced over with a cold and stern gaze.
"Okay, stop talking." Li Wan gently tugged at the corner of Chen Shuyuan's clothes under the table. She felt that Manager Zhao was obviously targeting her. Although she didn't know why, there was nothing she could do about it. It was her own fault that she was caught in the act by Zhao.
Li Wan calmed himself down and said, "Boss, I accept the punishment."
Manager Zhao has something else to say.
Suddenly, a cold and magnetic voice came from behind him.
"What happened?"
Manager Zhao, who was about to lecture Li Wan, froze for a moment, swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, turned around, and said respectfully, "Boss Li," without the harsh words he had used when he reprimanded Li Wan just now.
When Chen Shuyuan saw that it was Li Zelin, she was stunned, especially when Li Zelin's eyes swept over her. Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know whether she was scared or excited. Thinking of how loud her voice was just now, the courage she had planned to argue with Manager Zhao disappeared instantly. She called out "Manager Li" and shrank her neck, moving towards Li Wan like a quail.
I thought sadly that I would probably be punished one by one too.
Li Wan also looked at Li Zelin in surprise, wondering when he came over.
Li Zelin's eyes swept across Chen Shuyuan and fell on Li Wan's face. He frowned immediately when he saw her pale face and eyes that were obviously not as bright as usual.
When Manager Zhao saw Li Zelin frowning, he immediately frowned and winked at Li Wan.
Li Wan pursed his lips slightly and called out, "Boss Li."
Li Zelin frowned even more and asked her, "What happened?"
Manager Zhao thought she was asking him, so he quickly said, "It's okay, CEO Li. She just fell asleep at the front desk, so I gave her a disciplinary warning."
Although this punishment is indeed a bit harsh for Li Wan, as the administrative director in charge of company discipline, there is nothing wrong with her being given a slightly heavier punishment.
Secretary Xiao, who was standing behind Li Zelin, shook his head at her secretly.
Manager Zhao was a little confused.
Chen Shuyuan wanted to hold back her words, but seeing Li Zelin's frown, she was afraid that Li Zelin would punish Li Wan more severely. Then she looked at Li Wan's pale face and couldn't help but said anxiously, "No, Mr. Li, Li Wan was not feeling well today, so she accidentally fell asleep. She is usually very serious and responsible at work, but she was not feeling well today and accidentally fell asleep. Secretary Wu also knows this, and Secretary Wu also knows that Li Wan was indeed not feeling well today..."
She spoke anxiously and incoherently, and looked at Secretary Wu with her round eyes for help, hoping that she could come out and speak for Li Wan.
"Yes, I know." Secretary Wu nodded and agreed with Chen Shuyuan's statement, then said to Manager Zhao, "Manager Zhao, Li Wan has already reported to me that she was not feeling well. I told her that she could rest for a while if she really couldn't bear it. It's my fault for not informing you. The responsibility lies with me."
How could Manager Zhao dare to put the blame on Secretary Wu? Everyone in the company would give Secretary Wu some respect.
She was about to speak.
Secretary Xiao's cell phone rang. He turned to answer the call, said a few words, hung up the phone and said to Li Zelin, "Mr. Li, everything is ready over there."
Li Zelin glanced at Li Wan, who was looking down at him, and then his cold eyes fell on Manager Zhao's face: "When enforcing company discipline, we should also take into account the physical condition of employees. Huanxing is not a heartless company."
Manager Zhao was so frightened by this big hat that he broke out in a cold sweat and managed to force a smile: "Yes, Mr. Li is right. I didn't understand the situation in time. I will pay more attention in the future."
Secretary Xiao and Secretary Wu remained calm, but were actually extremely shocked.
When it comes to lack of humanity, their young president is second to none.
It is also amazing how Mr. Li protects his own shortcomings.
Li Wan also raised her head and looked at Li Zelin in a daze.
Li Zelin frowned when he saw her pale and bloodless face: "If you feel uncomfortable, go back early."
Li Wan nodded gently, and as she looked at Li Zelin, there seemed to be a tiny light shining in her eyes again.
Li Zelin's brows relaxed, he hummed, then turned and walked out.
Secretary Wu took two steps behind and said to Li Wan, "Boss Li has said it all, Li Wan, you should go back and rest early." After that, he nodded to Manager Zhao, took a few quick steps, followed Li Zelin and walked out of the door.
Manager Zhao's situation suddenly became awkward. She looked at Li Wan, thinking about the reactions of Li Zelin and Secretary Wu, and wondered, could Li Wan really be a relative of CEO Li? However, judging from Li Wan's behavior, it really didn't seem like that. It must be just a coincidence... And Secretary Wu's words just now also played a role. Thinking of this, Manager Zhao's face became stern again: "Since CEO Li said so, you don't have to go to work today." After saying that, she turned around and left.
As soon as Manager Zhao walked away, Chen Shuyuan immediately patted his chest: "Oh my god, I was scared to death just now..."
Li Wan was very touched by Chen Shuyuan's protection of her. After all, Chen Shuyuan usually looked like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Manager Zhao, but today he even dared to complain to Li Zelin for her. "Thank you, Shuyuan."
Chen Shuyuan felt embarrassed instead: "Oh, what are you thanking me for? You're the one who takes care of me all the time." She took Li Wan's arm and said with a giggle: "I finally have a chance to stand up for you, so of course I can't let it go. What do you think? Are you feeling very touched now? Do you think I was very brave just now?"
Li Wan smiled and pinched her round face lovingly: "Yeah. I really look at you with new eyes."
Chen Shuyuan wagged his tail proudly.
"Oh, by the way, you should go home and have a rest soon, President Li has spoken!" When mentioning Li Zelin, Chen Shuyuan inevitably entered the fanboy mode: "I have been in Huanxing for more than half a year. Just now was the first time I saw President Li so close and for so long. My God, I almost fainted from his handsomeness! President Li is too handsome... No, it should be handsome. Really, you know, President Li is not the kind of handsome that comes from a young boy, but the kind of handsome that comes with an aristocratic temperament. Did you see his eyes? They are so deep, I feel like my soul is about to be sucked into his eyes. If President Li is a vampire, I will definitely volunteer to offer my neck to him to suck blood..."
Li Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took her bag out from under the table and said goodbye to her: "I'm going home."
Her mind has become dull now and she just wants to go home and have a good sleep.
She walked out of the gate and was about to go to the bus when a black car stopped beside her. A young driver in a black suit got out of the car and said to her, "Hello, Mr. Li arranged for me to take you there." Then he opened the passenger door and invited her to get in.
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, then recognized that the driver was the young driver who drove Li Zelin the night she pretended to be drunk.
She thanked him and got in the car.
The young driver closed the door for her, then went around to the other side to get in the car. After asking for the address, he didn't say a word until he dropped her off downstairs.
Li Wan returned to the apartment, removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and fell asleep.
She had nightmares one after another and woke up from them with a start. She rushed to the bathroom to vomit. There was nothing in her stomach to begin with, and this vomiting almost made her vomit out all the bile. After vomiting, she climbed back into bed weakly and fell asleep again in a daze. She felt hot and cold and was very drowsy. The phone rang several times but could not wake her up.
Finally, she was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
She opened her eyes dazedly and turned to look out the window. It was already dark. She forced herself to get up from the bed and open the door. Although she was a little confused, she was still cautious and only opened a gap as wide as her palm. Then, through the gap, she saw Li Zelin standing at the door.
She was stunned for a moment.
Li Zelin first noticed her pale face and the unusual redness on her cheekbones. He lowered his eyes and saw that she was wearing too cool clothes. His eyes darkened and he looked away. He turned to Secretary Xiao who was standing on the side and said, "Go wait for me in the car first."
Secretary Xiao had already stepped back when the door opened to avoid seeing something he shouldn't see. When he heard what Li Zelin said, he immediately nodded and turned to leave.
"Brother, why are you here..." Li Wan looked at Li Zelin in a daze, but when he opened his mouth, he found that even his voice was unusually weak.
"I called you three times." Li Zelin said as he took off his suit jacket and handed it to her: "Put it on."
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was still wearing a thin silk pajamas with suspenders. However, she didn't even feel shy now. She took the coat that Li Zelin handed over, put it on, and said, "I didn't hear it."
"Can I come in?" Li Zelin asked.
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, then made way for Li Zelin to come in.
The small apartment of less than 30 square meters suddenly became cramped when Li Zelin, a 1.86-meter-tall man, was crammed into it.
Li Wan was so surprised that Li Zelin would come that she was a little at a loss for a moment. Moreover, he came into the room with a slow mind and she didn't know how to entertain him.
Fortunately, she likes to tidy up, so although the apartment is small, it is still tidy, except that her underwear is clearly spread out on the love sofa.
Such a small house can be swept away in one glance.
Li Zelin retracted his gaze and looked back at Li Wan's face: "Do you have a fever?"
Li Wan was startled and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead. When her hand was halfway raised, Li Zelin's large palm covered her forehead.
Li Wan raised her eyes and looked at Li Zelin in a daze.
Li Zelin frowned slightly, her hair was wet, and her forehead was delicate, moist and hot.
"You have a fever." This time it was an affirmative sentence, followed by: "Have you taken medicine?"
Li Wan shook her head: "I fell asleep as soon as I came back."
"Go lie down on the bed." Li Zelin said, and although his tone was imperative, it was not harsh.
Li Wan obediently climbed back onto the bed and sat there, still wearing Li Zelin's suit jacket, and watched him without blinking as he called his secretary and asked him to buy a thermometer and antipyretic drugs.
Perhaps it was because sick people were particularly fragile, Li Wan's eyes suddenly felt warm.
When Li Zelin hung up the phone, he saw Li Wan lowering her head and wiping away tears.
He paused, then walked over and asked, "Feeling uncomfortable?"
Li Wan shook her head and looked up, her eyes filled with tears, she was shaky and looked extremely vulnerable.
Li Zelin's heart softened for a moment, and he reached out his hand and caught her tears with his thumb. The tears were so hot that it seemed as if even his heart was burned.
Just as Li Zelin was about to withdraw his hand, Li Wan held it. She pressed her face against his palm, and looked at him eagerly with her moist, dark eyes, begging for some love from him like a poor little thing in need of love.
