Li Xiu's arrival added more topics to the company's gossip department. The big group chat kept beeping. Su Hao turned off the sound, but could still see a lot of information.
"Miss Li is here. Oh my god, she's still very beautiful."
"Yes, she changed her car. Rich people's cars are like free."
"Let me see what you changed. It looks like an Audi?"
"We can't afford any car, but how long has she been in Mr. Zhou's office?"
“They should be together...”
The last message was sent by Lu Mimi, with a somewhat tentative tone. At this moment, the sound of high heels clacking could be heard in the corridor, and then the tall Li Xiu came over and threw the antipyretic medicine and the bag into the trash can, which happened to be the only trash can in the corridor. Li Xiu's figure quickly disappeared in the elevator. Everyone turned around and looked at her secretly, and they could see that Li Xiu's face was not looking good. After the elevator door closed, a group of people sighed.
Lu Mimi exclaimed, and stood up to take a look.
Neither the fever-reducing medicine nor the coffee were delivered.
The group is discussing this again.
"Mr. Zhou didn't take the antipyretic medicine."
"Are the two of you having a quarrel?"
"Maybe you all guessed wrong. They are not together at all. Does Mr. Zhou have someone else in his heart?"
Su Hao turned a deaf ear to these discussions and focused on work. Ten minutes later, Mr. Zeng's assistant came back from outside and suddenly turned into the finance office. He casually put a small bag in front of Su Hao and said, "Su Hao, please help me deliver this to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zeng and I are going out now."
Su Hao was stunned.
Glancing at the bag.
It’s the logo of a pharmacy, and there seems to be antipyretic medicine inside.
She was silent for a second, pushed the small bag, and said, "I don't have time..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zeng's assistant left, and walked away quite quickly. Su Hao turned around and saw Mr. Zeng holding documents and talking on his phone. The two of them left side by side. The entire finance office suddenly became quiet. Lu Mimi kept staring at the bag of antipyretic drugs. Zhang Xian hesitated and said, "Su Hao, since Mr. Zeng's assistant asked you for help, then you..."
"Sister Zhang Xian, I still have a lot of things to do now." Su Hao had just finished speaking.
Lu Mimi picked up the bag and said, "Okay, I'll help you deliver it."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Hao to react, Lu Mimi turned around and went out in her high heels. Holding the bag, she glanced at the trash can. Because of its good design, the lid was tightly closed and she couldn't see what was inside, but she could imagine where the bag of antipyretic drugs was thrown.
Walking all the way to the president's office, Lu Mimi didn't have the same status as Li Xiu, so she naturally didn't dare to push the door open. She bent her fingers and knocked.
Knock knock—
Twice.
Inside, a man's hoarse and low voice came: "Come in."
Lu Mimi took a deep breath, turned the handle, and walked in. At a glance, she saw Zhou Yang sitting behind the table, his forehead supported by his hand, a cigarette in his mouth, and his collar slightly open.
He raised his eyes and looked.
When he saw it was Lu Mimi, his eyes turned a little colder.
"What's up?"
The next second, Zhou Yang saw the bag in her hand and his eyes narrowed, "Are you here to deliver the antipyretic medicine?"
"Su Hao asked you to come?"
This was the first time Lu Mimi saw this side of Zhou Yang. He was a little unapproachable and not as romantic and approachable as before. She was stunned where she stood.
After a long while, he nodded and replied vaguely: "Yes, yes."
"Get out, I don't need it." Zhou Yang took the cigarette out of his mouth, put it out in the ashtray, stood up, took the coat from the hanger, and walked towards the door while putting it on. Seeing this, Lu Mimi quickly turned around and opened the door. The man's pace was still faster than her. After he put on the coat, the collar was still open, and that romantic style seemed to have returned.
Lu Mimi paused for breath, watching Zhou Yang's tall back walking towards the elevator. His neck was red, and he must have a severe fever. Why didn't he take medicine
Lu Mimi returned to the finance office in a daze.
The antipyretic medicine was thrown onto Su Hao's desk again. Su Hao was so busy that he was distracted by the noise and took a look at it. Then he remembered that it was medicine and didn't say anything.
Lu Mimi said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't eat at all."
Zhang Xian also stood up and walked over. She picked up the bag with some curiosity and studied it. "Why doesn't Mr. Zhou take any medicine that we give him? What's the reason?"
"I felt that he had a high fever, but he was in a bad mood today and his face was cold. I was shocked." Lu Mimi is still frightened.
Zhang Xian thought for a moment and said, "It's really strange. Mr. Zhou rarely gets so emotional."
"That's right. I don't know who provoked him."
"He doesn't want Miss Li's medicine, nor does he want the medicine sent by Assistant Zeng. Who gives it to him? Could it be that he is waiting for someone to send him medicine?" Lu Mimi thought about it and suddenly remembered this.
Zhang Xian smiled, and the lines on her face softened. "Are you frightened? Who do you think President Zhou would be so emotional about? To the point of ignoring his own health and not even taking his medicine?"
"... I was overthinking. How could such a thing happen to someone like Mr. Zhou? Only women would do this for him. He usually manipulates others, so how could he be manipulated by others?" Lu Mimi picked up the mirror and touched up her makeup. Zhang Xian put down the bag and placed it in the small box in front of Su Hao, saying to Su Hao, "Put it there for now."
Su Hao responded, ignored the bag, and returned to the computer to check the accounts he had just received. At this time, his cell phone started beeping, with two messages in total.
Su Hao took the time to take a look.
Mr. Zeng: Hello Su, have you delivered the medicine to Mr. Zhou
Zhou Yang: Su Hao, is your heart made of iron
Thanks to Su Hao's efforts, she finally finished all her work when it was time to get off work. On the first day of taking over Chen Yu's job, she didn't have to work overtime.
After cleaning the table and picking up his small bag, Su Hao rubbed his neck and prepared to leave.
Zhang Xian was stunned when she saw her: "Su Hao, are you done?"
Su Hao turned around and nodded, "Yes."
Zhang Xian couldn't believe it. She glanced at Su Hao's desk and said, "You still need to check more. Don't be like Chen Yu."
"Yes, Sister Zhang Xian." After Su Hao said that, she closed the curtains and left the office. Zhang Xian watched from behind for a while and then shook her head.
Lu Mimi also came back after washing her hands. Seeing Su Hao left first, she was also stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, she sneered, "You're leaving get off work so soon? You've already done this."
"It took Chen Yu more than a week to get started." Lu Mimi also picked up the small bag, "Sister Zhang Xian, I think we will be scolded by Mr. Zeng again tomorrow."
Zhang Xian said nothing, asked her to close the curtains, and the two left the office together.
After going downstairs, it was cloudy all day. When it was time to get off work, the sky became even darker and it seemed like it was going to rain at any time. Su Hao quickened his pace and quickly returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a loud bang, followed by a loud bang - it started raining again.
After entering the house, Su Hao put down her small bag and went to close the windows of the kitchen and bathroom. It was still early, but the sky felt like night. Su Hao returned to the living room, took some food from the refrigerator, and made a simple dinner. After eating, she thought about Su Xi's invitation today. She sat on the sofa, picked up her phone, and thought for a while.
Then he dialed Susie's number.
Soon, the other end picked up the call.
Susie's voice came: "Okay, have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten. How about you, Auntie?"
"I ate too. It rained heavily today. By the way, are you busy today? You didn't even reply to my WeChat." Su Si's voice was very nice and she was smiling. She felt from the bottom of her heart that it was a very happy thing to receive a call from Su Hao, which made Su Hao hesitate to say anything to refuse.
She looked at the chandelier above her head.
After a few seconds, he said with a determined heart, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I may have to work overtime on Wednesday, so I can't come over."
"Ah? Overtime? Why do you have to work overtime?"
Su Hao felt a little guilty.
Her idea was to go to Zhou's house less often and meet with Zhou Yang less often. Over time, this man would run out of patience and would no longer waste time on her.
Su Hao is very determined about the future. At this age, one should put reason before emotion.
"Yeah, there's nothing I can do. I just took over the job and I'm not used to it yet." Su Hao said stiffly, thinking about making a big box of boneless chicken feet for Susie later.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Work is really important." Susie's tone was full of disappointment, and she sighed. Su Hao could only pretend not to hear it.
Then, she changed the subject. Su Qian seemed to be in a good mood. She chatted with Su Hao for a while before hanging up the phone. Su Hao put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. He was not good at lying and was under a lot of pressure.
She sat there for a while, then picked up the book to read.
At this moment, the cell phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Shen He.
Shen He: Okay, I can’t go on a business trip next week.
Su Hao: It’s okay.
Shen He: Ah, I feel so disappointed. Things are so busy here.
Su Hao: Well, let me see if I can go to Kyoto on a business trip
Shen He: Are you coming to Kyoto on a business trip
I have to go on business trips to other cities twice this month. Su Hao remembers that they are Dongshi and Kyoto. I will apply to Mr. Zeng then and I should be able to get the application.
Su Hao: Yes, Feijie has a branch in Kyoto.
Shen He: Okay, I'll wait for you.
Su Hao: Okay.
Putting down her phone, Susie poured a glass of water and went upstairs. This was her first time at Zhou Yang's villa in Yiwanshanshui. The decoration was so simple that she was not used to it. After going upstairs, Susie pushed the door and went directly into the master bedroom. The curtains were drawn and the man was sleeping with his forehead resting on his head and his eyes closed.
Susie sat down beside the bed. The man showed his hard chin and tightly closed thin lips. If it weren't for the blush on his neck, you wouldn't know that he had a fever. He looked quite majestic even when he was asleep. Susie studied her son's appearance, then helped him pull the quilt.
Zhou Yang woke up a little. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Susie. He asked in a low voice, "Mom, why are you here?"
"What do you think? If Assistant Lu hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known you had a fever."
"Tsk, just a minor problem." Zhou Yang coughed lightly and reached for the water cup. Su Si quickly handed it to him. Zhou Yang sat up and leaned against the bedside. He was wearing black pajamas with an open collar, revealing a little bit of his chest. He drank a few sips. Su Si looked at him and said, "Since it's a minor problem, why do you always need Su Hao to bring you medicine?"
Zhou Yang paused while drinking water, then raised his eyes and looked at her.
Susie shrugged. "Suhao said she has to work overtime on Wednesday. Tell me, is she avoiding you, son?"
Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes.
"Mom, are you free?"
