It couldn't be seen from the back before. Xu Jing never expected that Lao Luo would look like this today: his hair was messy, his eyes were purple, and there were three bright red scratches on his cheeks. Lao Luo was already ugly, and with these The decoration is so ugly that it has a hint of, oh no, a great sense of joy.

Looking at this situation, if Lao Luo was not robbed and then caught by a cat when he went out, he must have been at war with his wife. As for the outcome of the battle, there is no need to elaborate.

With great difficulty, Xu Jing was able to hold back her laughter. During this period, she did not dare to say a word and allowed Lao Luo to point at her and scold her. After a while, Xu Jinghao finally understood what Lao Luo was talking about. There was nothing wrong with the document itself, it was just that it was Anne who signed it.

After hearing what Lao Luo said about being late, Xu Jing finally calmed down and apologized. She really didn't dare to look at Lao Luo for fear of laughing out loud. Fortunately, Lao Luo also knew in his heart that his current image was not good. After finishing his reprimand in one breath, he immediately turned around and left. Everyone estimates that Lao Luo will probably stay in the office all day today.

Without Lao Luo, the office regained its vitality, and Xu Jinghao was able to sit down and start her busy work.

It was about lunch time, and Annie hurriedly pulled Xu Jing to complain, "I got scolded for helping you!"

Without Annie having to say anything, Xu Jinghao also knew that this little girl was thinking about the high-end perfume she had agreed with before. Although yesterday's trip had little effect, Xu Jinghao had a good habit of never breaking her promise, so she said to Annie: "Don't worry, I already placed the order yesterday, and it will arrive in two days."

"Really?" Annie's eyes lit up, but then she became worried again, "I bought it online, what if it's a fake?"

"You are so narrow-minded!" Xu Jinghao was about to tap Annie's nose, and said with a smile: "That store specializes in selling genuine products. I used to buy gifts for customers from there, so you can't go wrong."

"Long live Sister Jing!" Annie cheered happily on the spot, attracting side glances from the passers-by around her. Even Xu Jinghao felt embarrassed. But what made her even more embarrassed was what came next, when Du Xianzheng walked over. When he saw Xu Jing's good expression, he felt unnatural for a while, and even her walking movements became stiff. Since the last incident, the two of them have never recovered from the embarrassment. In addition, there are too many things to do and no time to talk, so the embarrassment has become more and more intense in the silence.

Not only Xu Jinghao and Du Xian, but also their colleagues had noticed something was wrong between them, and even discussed it secretly. Anne, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Gossip", would naturally not miss such interesting news. She first glanced at the two of them, rolled her eyes, and then slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, I'm so hungry!" Annie suddenly shouted. Without any explanation, she pulled Xu Jinghao, who was standing frozen on the spot, and ran in the other direction, shouting, "Sister Jing, let's go eat." Xu Jinghao came first. Although he didn't have time to react, he knew that he could take this opportunity to avoid embarrassment. He said "Okay" without thinking, and then left with Annie as if they were running away.

In the lobby of the office building, Annie smiled proudly at Xu Jing: "Am I very smart? Praise me! Praise me!"

Xu Jinghao understood now, and her colleagues probably guessed what happened between her and Du Xian, but they couldn't say anything and just gave Annie a fake smile. Annie was unhappy and turned into a resentful woman in a blink of an eye, "I'm so kind to help you, but you treat me like this. It's really heartbreaking."

God knows where this little girl learned her good acting skills. Xu Jinghao could only admit defeat and said: "Okay, okay, Annie is the best! You can't repay my kindness!"

"Don't say that." Annie changed her face to a profiteer expression, and said with a sly smile: "You can repay me now!"

Xu Jing screamed secretly, she felt that she was being plotted by the other party again. As expected, Annie leaned into Xu Jinghao's ear and said a few words. Xu Jinghao's face changed at first, then sighed, and finally lowered her head. Annie patted Xu Jinghao's shoulder encouragingly and left with satisfaction.

As expected, Lao Luo did not leave the office except for going to the toilet, and even ordered takeout for meals. According to the takeaway boy, this customer was surprisingly generous. After getting the takeaway, he threw him a hundred-dollar bill and said he didn’t need to change it. The only regret is that everything happened so quickly that the delivery boy didn't have the chance to admire the appearance of this wealthy customer.

Two o'clock in the afternoon is the official working time. There were no lights on in the office, as if staying behind closed doors wasn't enough, Lao Luo had to hide himself in the shadows to feel at ease.

Lao Luo finally finished chewing the half-cooked takeaway and slammed the lunch box into the trash can. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. He soon realized that the water was cold and spit it out again. Lao Luo slammed the cup on the table, leaned back on the chair, and the facial features on his face were distorted.

"Smelly woman! I will kill you sooner or later!" Lao Luo muttered to himself.

There was a knock on the door suddenly. Lao Luo immediately closed his mouth and slowly sat up straight. He cursed in his heart "Who is so ignorant", but said in his mouth: "Come in."

The person who walked in was Xu Jinghao. She held a stack of documents in her hand and walked slowly to the desk with her head lowered. She did not dare to look at Lao Luo during the whole process. When Lao Luo saw Xu Jing's good looks, he became very angry, but he still suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Jinghao put the document on the table and whispered: "This is this month's financial statement. Please sign it."

"Why did you send it here? Isn't this what Annie did?" There was undisguised dissatisfaction in Lao Luo's tone.

Xu Jinghao really shouldn't do this, but she had a word with Annie at noon. Although she was unwilling to do it, she couldn't help it. Now when Lao Luo asked, Xu Jing had no choice but to lie: "She... suddenly had a stomachache, so I sent it over for her."

"What's going on between you two?" Although Lao Luo didn't know the situation, he saw something fishy and lectured: "Yesterday she helped you work overtime, today you help her deliver documents. Do you think the company's rules and regulations are child's play?" "

Xu Jing didn't dare to answer, so she just waited for Lao Luo to quickly sign and let her leave. Lao Luo seemed to have forgotten the existence of the document, and kept saying, "Xiao Xu, you have a problem recently!"

These words made Xu Jinghao's heart beat faster. Could it be that Lao Luo discovered her visit to Jiang Manman yesterday? The other party's words were so sudden that she didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only pretend to be stupid and said: "You mean..."

Lao Luo said to himself: "Has your work enthusiasm dropped significantly recently? Even if you found someone to help you work overtime yesterday, why are you still late this morning? Is it because the position of deputy manager has not been confirmed yet, and you are in a mood? ?”

When Xu Jing heard what Lao Luo said, her anxious heart dropped. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "I don't dare to have any opinions. I will follow the leadership's arrangements."

Lao Luo nodded noncommittally and said, "As long as you continue to work hard, the position of deputy manager will be yours sooner or later."

Xu Jinghao promised repeatedly. She just wanted to leave here right now, and other things were not important at all.

Lao Luo paused, feeling that there was nothing more to say, so he sent Xu Jing away. Xu Jinghao walked out of Lao Luo's office, feeling like she had escaped. At the same time, she was secretly glad that Lao Luo hadn't discovered that she was investigating him yet. When she walked back to the staff office, she saw Annie's questioning look as soon as she entered the door. Xu Jinghao looked over and saw that her hands were empty, then she remembered that the documents were still in front of Lao Luo's desk.

Xu Jing patted her head in frustration and had no choice but to go there again. Xu Jinghao tiptoed back to the door of Lao Luo's office. She raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when she heard Lao Luo talking on the phone inside. The office was not well soundproofed, so she could easily tell that it was his wife Xia Baiyan who was talking to Lao Luo.

I just heard Lao Luo yelling into the phone for a few words, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, whatever you say is what it is. Let's meet at the Xishan Botanical Garden on Saturday afternoon."

"Xishan Botanical Garden!" Xu Jinghao's eyes widened when she heard this place name.
