Although Li Zhi didn't fall asleep until dawn because of the oolong "apology" last night, he still opened his eyes on time the next morning under the influence of his biological clock.

Came to the company as usual.

The secretary stood by and told him about the itinerary planned for today.

Just in the middle of speaking, there were three casual knocks on the door.

There was only one person who dared to knock on the door in front of him, so Li Zhi didn't have to guess who it was, and said without raising his head, "Come in."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the office was pushed open, and then came a high-spirited male voice, "You are really a model worker, I didn't stop you when I went to your house early in the morning."

Li Zhi raised his head, it was Lin Jin as expected.

They have known each other since their parents' generation, they were even born in the same hospital, and grew up together since childhood, only he dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

"Why do you want me?" Li Zhi raised his head and asked.

Lin Jin didn't speak, and glanced at the secretary next to him who was about to continue reading the itinerary.

Li Zhi nodded knowingly, and gave the secretary a wink.

The secretary immediately walked out knowingly.

When there was no one in the office, Lin Jin came over and sat down opposite him, with his arms resting casually on Li Zhi's desk, and said to him leisurely: "Actually, it's nothing, just an interesting thing happened recently., let me tell you."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi continued to look down at the document in his hand while talking.

Lin Jin looked at him indifferently, leaned forward, folded his hands, and looked at him with a smile, "Aren't you curious? It's about the Fu family."

Li Zhi's expression finally changed when he heard the word "Fu's family", and then he was willing to look away from the document in front of him, and looked up at him, "What's wrong with the Fu's family?"

"Tsk." Looking at his reaction, Lin Jin couldn't help but sighed, "Aren't you not curious? Why did your attitude change all of a sudden when you got involved with that little beauty on your heart?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi put down the pen in his hand, leaned back, and said calmly, "Are you talking nonsense?"

"Okay, I'm not joking." Seeing this, Lin Jin became stern, and quickly continued, "A while ago, there was a project bidding, and the scale was quite large. You also know that there are people in our bidding supervision department, so listen a little bitinformation."

"What news?" Li Zhi asked lightly.

"The Fu family also bid, and Fu Chenze presided over it."

"It's just this?" Li Zhi frowned slightly, naturally he didn't believe that he came here just to tell him this.

"Of course not." Lin Jin's eyes became even more teasing, and he leaned forward again, "Fu Chenze contacted someone..."

We are all businessmen, the meaning of this sentence is self-evident.

Li Zhi pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then said unhurriedly: "Since it was discovered by the supervision department, three years should be indispensable."

"Yeah, I'm still collecting evidence, and it's probably coming soon. This matter can be big or small. It just depends on who the old Fu family will give up?"

Li Zhi's eyes dimmed, "This project has nothing to do with Xiaoqiu, and no one can give up to him."

"That's true... But I don't know how the old Fu family has taught them all these years. There are only a few children, and all of them are legal coffee, except of course, your little beauty."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"Fu Shuangchi has already gone in. If Fu Chenze also goes in, only Yan Qiu will be left in the Fu family. Speaking of which, I am really looking forward to what the old Fu family will be like. The children who have been raised with care are getting worse every time.The one I ignored was the most up-to-date, do you think he will regret it?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi replied without thinking, "Of course not."

"However." Li Zhi said, suddenly raised his head, "Sooner or later, he will regret everything he has done."

Lin Jin smiled, pointed his fingers at the desktop, and looked at Li Zhi's mobile phone on the table, "What a great opportunity, why don't you hurry up and say hello to your little beauty, the little pitiful is obviously a real sonYou should be happy to watch the Fu family die if you end up being kicked out of the house."

Li Zhi didn't answer, but just replied lukewarmly, "Take care of your heart."

When Lin Jin heard this, he curled his lips, "You really have no conscience, if it weren't for seeing how much you care about the little beauty, I wouldn't be bothered to inquire about the Fu family, I really owe it to you to pay attention to everything for you."

"Okay, thanks." Li Zhi couldn't bear his pretending to be wronged the most, and said quickly, "But there is one thing I want to correct you."

Li Zhi said, looking up at him.

"What?" Seeing his serious face, Lin Jin also turned serious.

Then I heard Li Zhi say word by word: "Next time, change your name and learn to respect your elders."

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who the "elder" he was talking about was. He couldn't help laughing, but he still cooperated, "Okay, sister-in-law, can I be called sister-in-law from now on? You are really blooming like a cycad tree now, I originallyI thought you were just a rock, and you couldn’t cover yourself with warmth, so it turned out that you were just picking people.”

Lin Jin's mouth has never been guarded, and Li Zhi is used to it, so he doesn't bother to talk to him.

Who would have thought that his next sentence would be, "It's a good thing that the Shui family didn't see you like this, otherwise I would definitely be sad again..."

Before he finished speaking, he met Li Zhi's eyes, and Lin Jin quickly raised his hand to pat his mouth.

"Okay, don't mention it, it's fine for you and my little...sister-in-law to love each other. By the way, how are you two lately?"

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately recalled what happened last night.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Yan Qiu sweetly said to him: "Mr. Li, good night."

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't be suppressed, "Very good."

Lin Jin looked at the expression on his face, and waved his hands pretending to be disgusted, "Okay, okay, I understand, I hate some young couples who don't care about other people's lives."

After finishing speaking, he nodded teasingly at him, "Isn't there a reason to meet my sister-in-law? Hurry up and make an appointment for dinner or something."

Li Zhi is not a person who likes to listen to other people's suggestions, but when he heard his suggestion today, he found it very reasonable, so he picked up his phone, found the familiar note and pressed it.

As soon as the call was dialed, the eyes of the two fell on the phone at the same time.

It's just that I didn't expect that just after the phone rang twice, I heard a mechanical and cold female voice, "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Lin Jin looked up at him, "What does this mean? You got hung up?"

Li Zhi didn't say a word, just turned off the phone calmly, then continued to look at the file with lowered eyes, and said calmly: "Go out."

Lin Jin:???

Yan Qiu looked at the hung-up call on the screen of the mobile phone, and in a daze, he turned off the phone, fearing that Li Zhi would call again, so he simply turned off the phone.

Then put the phone in the drawer.

Yan Qiu didn't expect Mr. Li to call him suddenly, and he didn't know how to face him.

After all, he had just learned that Li Zhi was going to get engaged, and knowing it was one thing, but controlling himself was another. He was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions when he answered the phone.

In fact, he understands the truth, but it is not easy to really accept it.

At least for now, he still can't say that sentence to him openly, "Congratulations."

Because of this incident, Yan Qiu was a little absent-minded all day long, and wanted to turn on the phone, but was afraid that he would see a long list of messages from Mr. Li.

He struggled with it all day, and he didn't dare to turn it on until he got off work at night.

"Brother Yan, are you still leaving?" The little girl picked up her bag and was about to leave, when she saw that Yan Qiu was still sitting there, she asked a little strangely.

Only then did Yan Qiu come back to his senses, and raised his head to look at the watch on the wall. It was already half past six, half an hour past the off-duty time.

"I... right away, you go back first, be careful on the way." Yan Qiu said to her.

"Okay, don't leave too late, it seems to be raining tonight."

"Well, I see." Yan Qiu said, and began to pack his things.

When he went downstairs, the company's people were almost gone, and the whole building was empty.

It was getting dark outside, and as my colleague said, it was indeed raining.

Yan Qiu sighed and was about to walk out, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure from behind at the door of the company.

He stopped abruptly.

The man seemed to have noticed something and turned around slowly.

Li Zhi is wearing a thin black shirt today, which is still buttoned up to his neck meticulously. The hand-stitched gold thread can be faintly seen on the cuffs. The lines are smooth, outlining his straight figure.

The slender fingers hold a black umbrella with a straight handle.

Seeing Yan Qiu come out, Li Zhi raised his finger to his glasses, signaling him to come over.

When Yan Qiu saw him, he immediately remembered that he had turned off his mobile phone all day, and became a little nervous, subconsciously wanting to turn around and go back.

But Li Zhi was standing in front of him now, there was no way to avoid him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards him.

"Mr. Li." Yan Qiu stopped in front of Li Zhi, not daring to look up into his eyes.

He thought that Li Zhi would ask a few questions about what happened today.

But no, he just opened the black umbrella in his hand and put it on top of the two of them, and said to Yan Qiu: "It's raining, I'll take you back."

The moment Li Zhi stood in front of him, Yan Qiu lost the courage to refuse, so he paused for a moment before replying: "...OK."

"Let's go." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he walked into the rain side by side with him.

The sky was dark, and it was raining tirelessly. Big drops of rain fell on the umbrella surface and bounced off quickly, making a dull hum, like a sad piece of music.

Probably because today's weather is too gloomy, Yan Qiu's mood has also dropped.

Yan Qiu didn't make a sound until he got in the car.

In the end, Li Zhi was the first to break the silence between the two, "Are you free tonight? I..."

"No." Before the brain could react, the mouth responded first.

Li Zhi has been looking for him today, probably to tell him about the engagement.

Knowing from his colleagues is enough, he doesn't want to hear Li Zhi say it himself.

Li Zhi was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Yeah." Yan Qiu nodded tiredly, he was indeed tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

Seeing this, Li Zhi didn't say anything, and the two of them remained silent all the way.

Arriving home soon, Yan Qiu organized the conversation all the way in the car, and when he got off the car, he wanted to say something, "Congratulations on your engagement."

But the moment the car stopped, he still didn't say it.

He just said, "Goodbye, Mr. Li" and hurriedly got out of the car and went upstairs.

When Yan Qiu returned home, he lay down on the sofa without even turning on the lights.

He was obviously very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling blankly.

Little Lihua seemed to sense his depression, so she came over and rubbed his head against him.

Yan Qiu reached out to hug it into his arms, raised his hand to stroke its furry head, and sighed deeply, as if he dared to look directly into his heart only in the darkness.

"Little Lihua," Yan Qiu murmured, his voice was very low, even if he was alone, he was still afraid of being heard by others, "I seem to like someone."

"But...he's getting engaged."

The author has something to say:

Li Zhi: Xiaoqiu seems to be angry again, what the hell did I do?(12 hours of reflection)
