Zhou Mingkang said he wanted to toast me, but I couldn't refuse. I just picked up the glass when my phone rang. Zhou Mingkang said hurriedly: "You answer it first, and you're busy with your work."

I had to put down my glass, turned my head and answered the phone.

The person at the florist told me that I could order it from Bulgaria and then have it shipped to the UK by air, but the cost would be three times more than shipping it from China.

Anyway, it was Luo Xiangdong who spent the money, and I was happy to be generous to others, so I readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, I turned around and found that Zhou Mingkang called the clerk in. He said to me: "Ms. Liang, please stop drinking. Have a drink. You have to go to work tomorrow. A hangover is not good."

His diligence is something that most people can't do.

I smiled lightly and said, "Then blueberry juice."

Zhou Mingkang said to the clerk: "Bring two bottles of blueberry juice."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After the clerk turned around and left, Zhou Mingkang started to look at me and smile again, which made my scalp numb.

He said: "Didn't Miss Liang graduate at the same time as Lulu?"

I nodded and said yes.

Zhou Mingkang asked curiously: "Then Miss Liang was promoted to the position of assistant to the president of Luo Corporation in just a few months?"

After saying that, probably because he was afraid that I would think too much, he added: "This ability is worthy of being a top student at Ye Da. It is admirable and admirable."

I smiled slightly and replied aloud: "Mr. Zhou is too polite. I am just lucky."

Zhou Mingkang's eyes lit up: "Oh? How do you say this?"

I said, "To be honest, because I have a good personal relationship with Luo Xiangdong, he took good care of me and promoted me to the position of assistant."

I definitely didn't say this to show off, but actually because I sensed Zhou Mingkang's sensitivity towards the Luo family. When he heard that I was related to Luo Xiangdong, he wished his eyes would light up and he would see me as the golden cicada that Luo Xiangdong sat down on.

Since he cares so much about my current status, I must make the best use of everything to make Zhou Mingkang not only look at me differently, but even be afraid of me, so that he will show mercy to Xu Lu for my sake.

Sure enough, as soon as I said this, Zhou Mingkang's eyes changed again. He smiled and said, "It turns out that Miss Liang and Mr. Luo have a close personal relationship. No wonder."

I didn't change my expression and responded with a smile: "Yes, I had dinner with Luzi before and met our boss. She has also met her."

Zhou Mingkang immediately looked at Xu Lu and asked, "Have you ever seen Luo Xiangdong?"

Xu Lu glanced at me and quickly guessed what I was thinking. She replied calmly: "We met more than once, right? We said hello before."

I suppressed a smile. Xu Lu was like this. I made the best use of everything, but she caught a toad and wanted to squeeze it out into powder.

Zhou Mingkang was completely fooled by the two of us. Not to mention the way he looked at me, he was even a little polite to Xu Lu now.

I wanted to mention Xu Lu's transfer again, but then I thought about it, Zhou Mingkang is a smart man, and he should know what to do now without me having to say anything.

This meal was depressing in the early stage and hypocritical in the later stage. At the end of the checkout, I rushed to pay the bill, but Zhou Mingkang refused to give in. He also said something that I didn't know how to answer. He said: "Ms. Liang, let's keep in touch in the future. I can talk to people like you." It’s an honor to eat.”

The three of us left the hotel together, and Zhou Mingkang said, "Where does Miss Liang live? Can I drive you back?"

I quickly replied: "You're welcome, Minister Zhou. I have to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some things later. Please be careful on the way back."

Zhou Mingkang responded with a smile. Xu Lu went back with him. I said to Xu Lu, "Call me when you get there."

Xu Lu nodded, and Zhou Mingkang said: "Don't worry, Miss Liang, I will definitely send her to the door of the dormitory."

I just smiled and watched the two of them get into the car, then turned around and left.

Walking towards the apartment alone, I breathed a long sigh of relief. I didn't expect that I would also be so powerful. But then again, Luo Xiangdong's big tree is really good for shade. Many people immediately want to give him some face when they hear his name. And now, relying on Luo Xiangdong's talent, I am also rising all the way.

Night City is also known as the city that never sleeps. It becomes more and more lively at night. The metropolis is never short of glitz and hustle and bustle. It is bustling with traffic during the day and lights and feasting at night.

I wanted to take a taxi back, but before I knew it, I walked along the pedestrian street. There are jewelry stores and clothing stores one after another on the street. On the road, the stores are full of people, so lively.

I used to be a person who would feel embarrassed walking alone on the street, but now that I have graduated within a few months, it seems that the people around me come and go, and come and go, and in the end I am the only one left.

Today I was having a quarrel with Ji Guanxin in the street and helping Xu Lu deal with her boss. I felt that the last bit of energy in my body had been released.

I used to love going into various shops, but now the streets are full of shops, but I don’t have the energy to squeeze in. I walked along the road alone for more than half an hour, returned to the apartment, took a shower, and quickly fell asleep.

I went to work early the next morning, and around 10:30, I received an internal call from Luo Xiangdong, asking me to deliver coffee.

I went to the tea room and made a cup of Brazilian black coffee without sugar. I walked to the door of the president's office and knocked on it. When I heard that he was coming in, I opened the door and went in.

Luo Xiangdong wore a light blue thin sweater today, and the dark blue shirt collar was exposed at the neck of the sweater. I have always liked boys wearing sweaters over shirts. It always feels warm and handsome.

Before, every time I went out to buy clothes for Chen Wenhang, they were all shirts and sweaters. As soon as his roommate in the dormitory saw me, he said, "Hey, Zijin, do you want to dress your Chen Wenhang up as a playboy? His clothes There were so many things that I couldn’t fit in my own wardrobe, so they were put in ours.”

At that time, I always smiled and replied: "He can't finish wearing it for you."

But I never thought that Chen Wenhang would really become a playboy. Am I putting a big and flat stepping stone on his cheating path

The unbearable past flashed by. I put the coffee on the coffee table in front of Luo Xiangdong and discovered that there were several exquisite cake boxes on the coffee table.

"Mr. Luo, coffee." I said calmly.

Luo Xiangdong put down the cell phone he was playing with, opened his thin lips, and said calmly: "Sit down."

I glanced at him without any trace, and saw that his expression was unchanged, and then I sat down on the sofa in front of him.

He picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then said to me, "Eat it."

I raised my eyes to look at him again, with unexplained confusion and vigilance in my eyes.

Luo Xiangdong met my eyes and said, "I came here this morning and bought a cake. I can't eat with others because I'm like this. I'm giving you an advantage."

I thought to myself, any good words would change the taste in his mouth.

Picking up the cake box closest to me, I replied loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Luo."

Open the cake box and take out the cake. It's a piece of blueberry cake.

I subconsciously asked, "Mr. Luo, do you also like blueberry flavor?"

Luo Xiangdong said casually: "If you don't like it, just ask the clerk to take whatever you want."

I pursed my lips, took the spoon and started eating.

There was silence in the huge office. Opposite me, behind Luo Xiangdong, was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. The sun shone in from outside at around ten o'clock, which made me narrow my eyes slightly. I saw that Luo Xiangdong's body seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, which was very beautiful. .

The wounds on his face were not as red and swollen as yesterday, but the redness and swelling had subsided and turned slightly purple, especially the wounds at the corners of his lips, which were not scabbed and revealed a redder pink color darker than the lip color, as if they had been cracked.

Luo Xiangdong was eating a piece of green matcha cake with very elegant movements. This may be related to the education he received since childhood. I have eaten with him many times. Whether it is Chinese or Western food, he eats like an elegant gentleman. Even when eating fish, he would carefully pick out the small spines before eating the whole bite.

Maybe it was the tear at the corner of his lip that prevented him from opening his mouth wide. The arc of his lips was very small, but despite this, he still frowned.

I didn't think much in my mind and asked directly: "Mr. Luo, does the corner of your mouth still hurt?"

When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he simply put the cake that he had not eaten even two bites on the table, then frowned and replied, "What's more, it hurts so much that I don't even dare to open my mouth when I brush my teeth."

I said, "Have you taken any medicine?"

He replied: "I'm too lazy to take it. The powder prescribed by the doctor is salty and bitter. I accidentally poured it into my mouth last night and it didn't make me sick to death."

What he said was serious, but I inexplicably thought of the scene when he was applying the medicine, which made me laugh out loud.

Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes and looked at me, his eyes full of sharpness and Xiao Sha.

I immediately withdrew my smile and replied seriously: "Mr. Luo, you don't need to apply powdered medicine, you can apply ointment, and the effect will be the same."

Seeing the sincerity on my face, Luo Xiangdong looked away and said calmly: "Forget it, it's smeared everywhere. Let it heal on its own in two days."

Although I didn't say anything else, I had some concerns in my heart. After eating a piece of cake, I stood up and said, "Mr. Luo, if nothing happens, I'll go out first."

Luo Xiangdong hummed, and then asked: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

I was stunned for a moment, then came to my senses and replied: "I can do anything."

Luo Xiangdong said: "Then let's have hot pot and order from Chaotianjiao on Fenglin Road."

I said, "Your mouth is like this. It won't hurt to death even if you eat hot pot. Eat something light."

Luo Xiangdong thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then go to Mingyue Xuan." Mingyue Xuan is a place to eat Lianzhou cuisine, which is very light.

I replied aloud: "Okay, then I'll call and make a reservation."

After leaving Luo Xiangdong's office, I first called Ming Yuexuan to book a private room, and then went downstairs with my bag. There is a pharmacy in the shopping mall downstairs. I asked the professionals what kind of medicine should be used for bruises and tears. They were told that no powder should be used, no odor, no greasiness, and quick and effective medicine.

After buying the medicine, I returned to the top floor of Luo's. I knocked on the door of Luo Xiangdong's office and went in to deliver the medicine to him.

Luo Xiangdong looked at the medicine I put in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said loudly: "I won't apply it. The smell is so strong. As soon as I walk by, everyone will know that I have applied medicine."

I knew he would say that, so I replied without changing my face or heartbeat: "I've asked before, this ointment has no smell at all, it's not greasy, and it feels cold after applying it, which is very comfortable."

After a pause, I added: "Besides, if you usually wear a mask to work, everyone in the company will think you have a cold. Even if you smell a little medicinal, it's normal. Just spray more perfume when you go back."

Luo Xiangdong hummed, and I said, "Then I'll go out first."

I turned around and walked out. When I was almost reaching the corridor, I heard Luo Xiangdong's voice from behind: "Thank you."
