There was a thunderous explosion in Xu Xinghe's head, and he stammered to Ling Changfeng: "You, you... Did you ask for leave from Fangzhou for me?"

"Yeah." Ling Changfeng nodded, looked at Xu Xinghe's splendid expressions with interest, and then asked calmly, "Is there any problem?"

Xu Xinghe thought to himself: "There are too many questions!"

His lips trembled, and he didn't know where to start the question for a while, so he had to pour out all the questions: "When did you ask for leave for me? How did you ask for it? Who did you ask for? Personal leave? Did you take the initiative to call, or did they call me and you got it? You didn't say I overslept directly, did you?"

Ling Changfeng stood there, listening to him finish his questions, and then replying one by one: "It was after nine o'clock this morning, I asked Qin Yuan to ask for a leave for you, as for who asked for it, what kind of leave... "He squinted, "Is it important?"

"Of course it's important!" Xu Xinghe said sadly, "If you ask for personal leave, your bonus will be deducted! It will also affect my winning the Outstanding Employee Award at the end of the year!"

Ling Changfeng: "..."

A slight surprise and confusion flashed in Yitong's eyes, and when Xu Xinghe saw it, his heart ached even more.

Obviously, Marshal Ling, who has been in high positions for a long time, does not understand the suffering of these ordinary social animals.

Ling Changfeng was silent for a while, and said, "Then I'll ask Qin Yuan. But don't worry, he has always done things well, and there should be no circumstances where your bonus will be deducted."

"Uh...Thank you." Xu Xinghe touched his nose and suddenly realized that his tone just now seemed a little anxious. After all, as an excellent employee of Ark who never missed one day of attendance last year, this was the first time he overslept on a working day, so he was a little nervous, a little guilty, and a little bit novel.

"I don't mean to blame you either. Anyway, thank you for asking for leave for me... Otherwise, if you miss work for a long time without any reason, you will be directly counted as absenteeism, and the problem will be even more serious..." Xu Xinghe stared at the small corner of the room, his tone Involuntarily softened three points.

Ling Changfeng quickly confirmed the details of the leave request with Qin Yuan's email, and then raised his eyes and said to Xu Xinghe: "Qin Yuan said, he called your Director Wang and said to help you ask for leave, but said nothing else. . Your person in charge didn't ask anything, and just replied 'Okay, I know.' As for the bonus issue, he told you not to worry, your person in charge should not have so-" Ling Changfeng looked at the screen "No way." Here's something", I felt that it was a bit rude to say so, so I changed it to: "It's not so rigid."

Xu Xinghe: "???"

Team Leader Xu had just calmed down, but when he heard the words, he froze again: "Ah, ah, I didn't say that last time, don't harass our Director Wang any more with this little question of asking for leave in the future! !"

Wang Yunze, the current general manager of Fangzhou, is a top expert in the field of artificial intelligence. He has also served as the vice president of Capital University for more than 30 years. He is a person Xu Xinghe admires and admires. Even some textbooks written by Xu Xinghe University were edited by Director Wang.

When Ling Changfeng heard him say that, he couldn't help but slightly raised his sword eyebrows: "How does he manage all the tricks?"

Xu Xinghe puffed out his cheeks and said, "What do you think! They manage a data center the size of Ark, and they also need to do scientific research. Usually, even if the person in charge of our department calls him, they must make an appointment in advance!"

Ling Changfeng glanced at him: "All my usual calls, I also need to make an appointment in advance."

Then I thought about it, "You may not be able to make an appointment at the level of your director."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He didn't want to deal with Ling Changfeng at all.

Unfortunately, after less than three seconds of stalemate, the stomach made a very disappointing sound.

"Grumble-"

This is especially noticeable in quiet rooms.

Xu Xinghe: "..."

There was an imperceptible smile flashing in Yitong, Ling Changfeng said leisurely: "Okay, let's go eat first."

Xu Xinghe walked towards the restaurant with his head down.

Ling Changfeng followed behind him with his hands unhurriedly, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "By the way, at nine o'clock in the morning, there was another phone call, yours."

"Huh?" Xu Xinghe looked back at him and suddenly became vigilant.

Ling Changfeng continued: "Your left hand was pressing on my chest at that time, and I accidentally answered the call when I moved."

Xu Xinghe's footsteps slammed, and he didn't have time to care about why his hand was on Ling Changfeng's chest, so he hurriedly opened his call log.

Sure enough, I saw the name of Liang Shilei, the head of their technical department, in the "Calls Connected".

Xu Xinghe turned his head stiffly and asked Ling Changfeng: "Liang, what did Mr. Liang say on the phone? No... What did you tell him?!"

Ling Changfeng replied patiently: "As soon as I answered, he asked you about your person. I said you wanted to take a leave of absence, and there was no voice there, and then I hung up the phone."

Having said that, he also commented seriously: "This call happened three minutes after I asked Qin Yuan to ask you for leave. It can only be said that the efficiency of Fang Ark's information communication from top to bottom needs to be improved."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

Heh, when he thought it was embarrassing enough for Ling Changfeng to ask for leave to Director Wang again, something even more embarrassing happened.

Boss Liang called him this morning and was actually picked up by Ling Changfeng himself!

He couldn't imagine the expression on Mr. Liang's face when he heard Marshal Ling's voice on the phone...

What's worse, I have to go to Boss Liang tomorrow to make a report!

After eating lunch absentmindedly, Xu Xinghe always felt a drum in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, this is the first time I have taken leave since I worked for more than a year. At the same time, I am a little annoyed. Why did I sleep so deeply last night?

It seems that by Ling Changfeng's side, he can always sleep soundly.

After the meal, taking advantage of the digestion time, Xu Xinghe clicked on the group chat again, but was surprised to find that at the time of the meal, their six groups of private chat groups had already swiped 99+ unread messages.

Xu Xinghe's heart tightened, and in a slightly ominous premonition, he opened the chat record——

A Jia: "Team Leader!! How are you now, Team Leader? Are you feeling okay? Have you started to react?"

Ryan: "Fucking team leader, I admire you so much... What time did you meet last night? Can you still get up?? Will you come to work tomorrow?"

A Jia: "What are you talking about? Our Great God Xu is about to usher in a one-and-a-half-year vacation!"

Ajia: "Hey, team leader, did you come to see us before your official vacation? I knew that I should say goodbye to you last night, Xu Xinghe."

Ethan: "Wait a minute...what are you talking about? Are we hearing the same version over lunch?"

Xiao Zhou: "Obviously not"

A Jia: "You guys are too late in the news"

Ryan: "When you say that, I feel that my news is a little behind, wait for me to inquire!"

...

Xu Xinghe: "?"

Team Leader Xu looked at the unpredictable and unintelligible conversation on the screen, and slowly put a question mark.

Ryan: "The scumbag leader has appeared!!"

Ajia: "Ahhhh, Brother Xu, how are you feeling now?"

Xu Xinghe: "What is it? Isn't this just talking to you?"

Ryan: "The team leader should avoid contact with electronic equipment in the future! There is radiation!"

Xu Xinghe was stunned: "...How come you, a person in the technical department, can tell the nonsense that electronic products have radiation??"

Watching a horror movie last night was so frightened that couldn't fall asleep at 3 am, so couldn't get up this morning, so had to ask for leave.

Xu Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then secretly made up a plausible excuse: "I'm just not feeling well, so I took a day off and will go to work tomorrow as usual."

Ryan: "?!"

Ajia: "?!"

Ethan: "..."

Xiao Zhou: "Okay"

Xu Xinghe looked at their replies, and the ominous feeling in his heart became heavier and heavier: "Wait a minute, what do you think happened to me?"

Ryan: "...it's alright"

Ajia: "Team leader, can you really come to work tomorrow??"

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He saw that these guys in the group suddenly started to sway and pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he became a little irritable in an instant.

What the hell is going on? Could it be that Boss Liang said something in the morning?

Xu Xinghe wasn't naive enough to hope that Mr. Liang couldn't guess that it was Ling Changfeng who answered the phone this morning, but Mr. Liang was not a gossip, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't spread it all over the place.

Xu Xinghe asked tentatively, "What did Mr. Liang say at the meeting this morning?"

Ajia: "I just talked about the work arrangement. It's not a big deal. Team leader, if you are not feeling well, you can rest first. The work will be discussed when you come to work tomorrow."

Ryan: "Speaking of Boss Liang, do you think his face is not very good in the morning?"

Ethan: "It's a little bit, the morning meeting doesn't seem to be in the state, and the documents are reversed at the beginning."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He remembered the appearance of Boss Liang's gray temples, and inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.

Xu Xinghe: "That's all? Didn't say anything else...about me?"

Ryan: "I said you were sick"

Ethan: "There's something in the team leader's words. What do you think Mr. Liang will say?"

Xu Xinghe: "...Hehe, I thought he would ask about the progress of 3a-z's investigation and praise you for the trash"

Team Leader Xu said so, but he was silently relieved. Listening to this situation, Mr. Liang should not have leaked the news.

So what are these people talking about?

Xu Xinghe: "I'll give you one last chance. What outrageous news did you hear? Confession and leniency, resistance is a dead end!"

Seeing a moment of silence in the group, they continued to attack their psychological defenses with words: "If I ask me to find out by myself after going to work tomorrow, then you will be finished. If the investigation work of 3a-z is not completed tomorrow, no one should leave work: )"

When everyone heard this, they began to confess—

Ajia: "I declare in advance that I have not followed rumors, but I have just heard that you have been diagnosed with pregnancy and have asked Director Wang for maternity leave this morning..."

Ryan: "I declare in advance that I didn't spread any rumors. I just heard that you exercised last night and asked for leave this morning... Later, I heard that you are in that period, and it seems that you have been marked... …”

Ethan: "Then what I've heard is quite normal, I just heard that our team leader Xiao Xu was a little uncomfortable last night."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He licked his back teeth, smiled and began to turn his face away: "I've changed my mind, I think it's better for you to finish the 3a-z investigation today :)"

After speaking, ignoring the mourning in the group, he turned off the smartphone out of sight and out of mind.

"What's wrong?" Ling Changfeng, who was sitting across from the long table, looked away at some point, as if he had been observing him for a while.

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, I'm talking about work."

In the end, he was too naive, thinking that as long as Boss Liang didn't tell the story of the phone call in the morning, everyone would not think wrong.

But he forgot that in the broken place in the pantry of the Ark, he could pass on his pregnancy every three to five! Even if he really took a sick leave, after a noon, all kinds of rumors would definitely be derived. What's more, this time I also took an unprecedented leave of absence. It's strange that those who do good things don't get excited.

Ling Changfeng looked at his face and asked, "Have you encountered any problems at work?"

Xu Xinghe shook his head: "No, it's just that as soon as I didn't go to work, some nonsense started to spread in the pantry... But it doesn't matter anymore."

He thought about it, and it really doesn't matter. Anyway, rumors like pregnancy will be self-defeating as long as he goes to work as usual.

Ling Changfeng frowned after hearing this: "Nonsense? What did they say?"

The pair of different pupils were originally cold, but at this moment, the brows were wrinkled, and there was a sharp coldness at the end of their eyes for no reason.

But then, Ling Changfeng discovered that the situation was not what he imagined.

His little spouse didn't seem to be offended by the rumors, but hesitantly said, "Nothing...whatever they spread? It's all rumors anyway! Leave it alone!"

When it came to the end, it was a bit frustrating.

Then he lowered his head and picked up a piece of cake, pretending to eat it.

There was a hint of confusion in Yitong, and then, when he saw Xu Xinghe's slightly reddish ears, he suddenly became enlightened.

He could probably guess what kind of rumors it was.

Ling Changfeng put away the coldness in his eyes, but still said solemnly: "No, how can the rumors be ignored?"

After he finished speaking, he changed the topic quietly: "Unless this rumor will come true in the future."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He rubbed and stood up: "I'm going to feed the cat."

After saying that, he smeared oil on his feet and slipped away without looking back.

What a joke! Wait for this rumor to come true? next life!
