"Snake!" Xu Jinghao struggled to get up. With this effort, severe pain finally broke out in her head. Soon, her entire vision went dark. In the moment of total darkness, she saw a thick and long shadow flying towards Zhang Li quickly.
The scream was the last sound Xu Jinghao heard.
Opening her eyes again, Xu Jinghao saw Du Xian's face. He was looking at her carefully, his expression full of concern and worry. Xu Jinghao thought she was dreaming, but she didn't believe it was true until she heard Du Xian's gentle voice.
"Am I still alive?" Xu Jinghao recalled the scene before coma, feeling a little unbelievable. Looking around, she found herself lying in the ward. The sky is dark outside the window, and I don’t know what time it is.
When Du Xian saw Xu Jinghao waking up, a stone fell in his heart. He explained to her: "When I returned to the company, I saw you lying on the ground. The doctor said you were caused by a cold. Fortunately, you were found in time. .”
"Is it just a cold?" Xu Jinghao murmured to herself, suddenly remembering the scene before coma, and couldn't help but asked nervously: "Did you see Zhang Li? There seemed to be..."
Xu Jinghao was so excited that she was out of breath, and it was difficult to continue.
Du Xian patted Xu Jinghao's back gently and said gently: "You are weak now, so don't talk too much. Sister Zhang was not in the company at the time, and she didn't know where she was. I didn't care to look for her at that time. She sent you to the hospital."
Xu Jinghao shook her head repeatedly and became excited again, "It's a snake! I saw a snake in the company! Zhang Li was eaten by a snake!"
"Why are there snakes in the company?" Du Xian laughed. He touched Xu Jinghao's forehead, then exhaled and said, "It's okay, it's not hot."
Xu Jinghao wanted to say something else, but Du Xian comforted her: "Don't think about other things first, and seize the time to recover from your illness. It's not easy for me to ask for leave."
Through experience, Lao Luo was very mean to his employees, especially Du Xian, and everyone knew the reason even if he didn't explain it. Xu Jinghao knew in her heart that Du Xian was taking care of herself. It was not easy to ask for leave from Lao Luo. Thinking of this, Xu Jinghao felt warmly moved in her heart.
Seeing that Xu Jing had calmed down, Du Xian slowly breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the insulated lunch box prepared early in the morning from the table, "Let's eat something first."
Xu Jing never expected that Du Xian could actually cook. Although it was just plain porridge, it was extremely sweet in his mouth. Because of this fainting, Xu Jinghao got to know Du Xian better. She thought that God must have sent Du Xian to her side to compensate for the loss of her position as deputy manager. While Xu Jinghao enjoyed Du Xian's care, she secretly thanked God for his mercy.
Such a good time did not last long. After eating, Xu Jinghao noticed the time and it was already noon. Xu Jinghao felt that her body was recovering extremely quickly. Her cold had long gone away and her headaches had completely disappeared. Not only that, she even felt that she was very energetic now, and lying in bed made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Du Xian was also surprised by Xu Jing's miraculous physique, but he was more happy for her recovery.
Knowing that Du Xian still had half a day off, Xu Jing couldn't wait to complete the discharge procedures. Xu Jinghao didn't want to waste her rare free time in the hospital. Maybe Du Xian can agree to accompany him shopping, and then the relationship between the two will definitely get better.
Everything went smoothly and the two of them walked out of the hospital together. Xu Jinghao was thinking about how to let Du Xian take her home and then go out together smoothly. In fact, it would be great if Du Xian was willing to stay at home with him and not go anywhere.
The more Xu Jinghao thought about it, the happier she became, when her cell phone suddenly rang. She frowned and took out her phone to see that it was Lao Luo calling. Xu Jinghao hesitated for a while, turned her phone to silent and stuffed it back into her bag. Du Xian cast a doubtful look, Xu Jinghao smiled slightly and was about to speak, but Du Xian's cell phone rang unexpectedly again.
"It's... Manager Luo." Du Xian was a little nervous when he saw the name on the screen, but finally accepted it.
After only listening to a few words, Du Xian handed the phone to Xu Jinghao, "The manager is looking for you."
Xu Jinghao scolded Lao Guoguo thousands of times in her heart, but she still forced a smile and called, "Hello, Manager Luo..."
"It's good! You're almost recovered, right? Come back to the company right away!" Lao Luo shouted to Xu Jinghao as if he had taken a shot.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jinghao felt a little angry. This old Luo didn't even let people ask for leave.
Although Lao Luo's tone was harsh, he still explained the situation, "What's wrong! Zhang Li didn't come to work all day, and she didn't answer her phone calls! The customers are impatient to wait! Come back quickly and give her the plan I’ll make it!”
"What happened to Zhang Li?" Xu Jinghao thought of yesterday's scene.
"I don't care what happens to her! Anyway, come back quickly and finish the case. The position of deputy manager is yours! If you don't do it well, I will fire you and Zhang Li!"
Lao Luo's coercion and inducement worked, and Xu Jing had to give up her original plan and hurried back to the company.
After arriving, Xu Jinghao found that Zhang Li's computer was still on, with the stolen draft still on the monitor. The smell of perfume remaining on the table made her feel nauseous and even wanted to faint. Everything remained as it was yesterday, and Xu Jinghao had a vague feeling of bad premonition. She opened the window to let the smell of perfume dissipate. After a while, Xu Jinghao still felt uncomfortable even after smelling the slightest smell. Finally, she copied the documents and found a seat by the window, which made her feel better.
Although it was a waste of time, fortunately the document was still there. The original author was herself, so Xu Jinghao was able to do it with ease. It was only halfway through the afternoon, and Xu Jinghao had already printed out the document and handed it to Lao Luo's desk. Lao Luo was surprised at first, and then smiled with a smile on his face when he saw that the plan was completed well.
When it was time to get off work, Xu Jinghao learned that the client was very satisfied with the plan, and her position as deputy manager was almost a certainty. When Lao Luo was happy, he couldn't help but call Xu Jinghao to the office to encourage him. In the end, he didn't forget to pat Xu Jinghao's shoulder and take advantage of the opportunity. Xu Jinghao suppressed her nausea and tried her best to keep smiling until she walked out of the office. When she left the office, she met Du Xian's eyes.
Du Xian's eyes were shining, sincere and gentle. Xu Jinghao was almost addicted to it, and it took a long time to come back to her senses. The haze in the sky outside the window had disappeared at some point, and the light of the setting sun shone gently into the room. Xu Jing felt that everything was developing in a good direction.
When it was time to get off work, Annie was the first to run out of the office with another cheer. Xu Jinghao was packing her things in an orderly manner, and inadvertently saw that Zhang Li's desk was still empty. The smell of the perfume had faded away, but Xu Jinghao still felt dizzy when she smelled the vague smell. She didn't want to stay in the office building anymore, so she walked out quickly.
After leaving the disgusting smell of perfume, Xu Jinghao's mind immediately became clearer, and she couldn't help but start thinking about today's strange things.
Zhang Li didn't come to work for one day. As a strong contender for the position of deputy manager, it was almost impossible for her not to come to work during this time. Could it be that Zhang Li was delayed because of something? Or, what happened to him
Xu Jinghao once again thought about the possibility of a snake in the office, but she quickly overturned this idea when she was sober.
A snake would have to be big enough to swallow a person, and it would be impossible to hide it in a company. If he was just bitten by a snake, that would be possible, but when Du Xian returned to the company, he saw only himself. Zhang Li had disappeared long ago. Even if he was bitten to death, there should be a body!
To sum up, the possibility of a snake in the company is still extremely low. After all, Xu Jinghao was not sure whether it was another hallucination caused by a cold, although she did hope that Zhang Li would be eaten by a snake.
Xu Jing viciously speculated on various misfortunes that Zhang Li might encounter, which became increasingly bizarre and bizarre, and finally had to give up. In fact, Xu Jinghao didn't care about Zhang Li's safety. Since she couldn't understand it, she didn't want to delve deeper. Anyway, the deputy manager is already in Xu Jinghao's pocket, and Zhang Li won't be able to change things even if he appears again.
People like Zhang Li should just disappear!
As if to cater to Xu Jinghao's ideas, Zhang Li really didn't come to work for three days in a row. Almost no one in the company has a really good relationship with Zhang Li, so no one talks about this person anymore, as if Zhang Li has really disappeared. This made Xu Jinghao start to feel something was wrong, and she even began to suspect that what she saw at that time was not an illusion.
Before Xu Jing could continue thinking, Lao Luo appeared in the office and announced Zhang Li's resignation. As soon as the news came out, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
During this period, a strange thing happened in the office building. Videos from the surveillance room were stolen, and even several cameras on the seventh floor were damaged. Fortunately, no thefts occurred in the office building in the past few days. The security guards covered up the incident quietly, so not many people knew about it.
