Chapter 38: Business Trip

uld say anything, the line went dead.Ginger Mingzhu heard the conversation between the two clearly. She guessed Zhou Li was afraid she would cling to Zhan Yanqing because of her injury.Jiang Mingzhu p...The next morning, before eight o'clock, Jiang Mingzhu set off for work.

At this time, the company only had the cleaning lady and security guards working. Zhou Li's office was still locked. Jiang Mingzhu would go out to take a look from time to time.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Zhou Li finally arrived. Jiang Mingzhu went to the tea room and made a cup of coffee, then carried it to the office.

Zhou Li stood in front of his desk, straightening his tie. When he saw Jiang Mingzhu coming over, his gaze swept coldly across her without any intention of speaking.

Jiang Mingzhu was already used to this dog thing's cold face. She put down her coffee cup and asked him, "Did you see my text message"

Zhou Li's gaze lingered on her. "What text message"

Listening to his tone, she hadn't seen him. Jiang Mingzhu was too lazy to waste words with him and started circling the desk looking for her earring.

Yesterday, Zhou Li circled this enormous desk, going at her from all angles. Jiang Mingzhu could only find solace in her earrings as she searched for a way to escape.

She had just walked up to her office chair when Zhou Li suddenly came up and grabbed her arm.

Jiang Mingzhu was irritable. "Let go."

This impatient tone, and her usual way of speaking in a high-pitched voice when she calls for her brother, are like two completely different people.

Zhou Li's voice turned colder: "You better know who you're talking to."

All of Ginger Mingzhu's thoughts were on that earring. She didn't have the heart to flirt with him like she usually did. She struggled, trying to pull her hand back.

This behavior made Zhou Li even angrier. He exerted more force, pulling her closer and pressing her against the edge of his desk.

Jiang Mingzhu became even more agitated, "Let me go."

"Are you done"

Was your true form revealed while looking for that earring

Actually, Zhou Li received the text message last night but didn't reply to it.

To his surprise, Jiang Mingzhu came to his office so early in the morning looking for something, and she seemed so anxious. The act was no longer convincing.

Zhou Li's heart felt a twinge of resentment, a fire burning within his chest.

Ginger Mingzhu: "I'm looking for something."

From Zhouli: "What do you have in my office Don't you have any shame"

Jiang Mingzhu: "My earring fell here."

"So then"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Let me go, I have to find..."

"What gives you the right to search my office"

Jiang Mingzhu was already on edge, and seeing Zhou Li's pretentious face made her even angrier. She raised her hand and beat his shoulder, "Damn it, let me go! Let me go!"

She moved too erratically, her long nails raking across his jaw and leaving a shallow scratch.

Zhou Li didn't expect her to suddenly resist so fiercely. After reacting, he quickly clamped down on her hands and twisted them behind her back, controlling her with all his strength.

"Are you looking for death, Ginger Mingzhu" Zhou Li's voice was icy cold, carrying a murderous aura.

Ginger Mingzhu was stung awake by the chill radiating from him. She took a deep breath and then softened her attitude.

"I'm sorry," Jiang Mingzhu apologized. "Would it be alright if I looked for my earring I won't disturb you."

Zhou Li remained unresponsive, his eyes fixed on her with a lifeless stare.

Jiang Mingzhu had flattered and shown weakness in front of him more than once. She had also said many servile things. Zhou Li was already accustomed to her acting.

But her current appearance was not an act, she was sincerely begging him.

For that earring.

Well, that's important, huh Who gave it to her to make her so emotionally out of control

Perhaps it was the weakness of men at work, he could have given her the ear stud, but at this moment, he didn't want to let her go so easily.

Zhou Li: "I'll have the cleaning staff look for your earring. You go out now."

He let go, but Jiang Mingzhu remained standing still. Her eyes were a little red, not acting, with a reluctant expression.

Zhou Li was getting agitated, "If you don't leave, I'll have the cleaning crew throw it away."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Then if we find it..."

Zhouli: "Someone will find you."

——

Because of Zhou Li's words, Jiang Mingzhu spent the whole day thinking about where her earring had gone.

But until the afternoon, Zhou Li never asked anyone to look for her. Hearing from the secretary that Zhou Li was very busy today, Jiang Mingzhu didn't dare to go to his office to ask him.

Texting is useless now, the dog won't even respond to her.

Jiang Mingzhu's heart was hanging in the air, she was anxious and restless, unable to sit or stand still, and couldn't concentrate on work.

As she was about to leave work, Liang Cong suddenly came to find her. Jiang Mingzhu immediately stood up, "Liang Zhu, what's the matter"

Just when Jiang Mingzhu thought Liang Cong was looking for her because of the earring, Liang Cong said, "Tomorrow morning, you and Zhou go to Huai'an on a business trip."

Ginger Mingzhu: "On a business trip"

Liang Cong: “Yes.”

Jiang Mingzhu didn't understand. She hadn't been to Wanhua for long and had never been involved in any core work. Zhou Li always kept her at arm's length, assigning her only small tasks. How could he suddenly decide to take her on a business trip

Liang Cong noticed Jiang Mingzhu's confusion and said, "This is Zhou Zong's meaning. I'll send you a Ding message in a while, you can check it."

Liang Cong didn't say a word. Jiang Mingzhu quickly received the flight information and travel arrangements.

Zhou Li will take a flight at 7:30 tomorrow morning to Huai'an to meet with his partners and arrange for accommodation at a well-known resort in Huai'an.

The itinerary doesn't look too tight, it seems like she's there to keep him company and possibly sleep with him.

In Zhou Li's case, ginger Mingzhu wasn't surprised. She was just curious, wondering why he was so open and honest. Wasn't he afraid that Zhan Yubai would cause trouble for him

Or is he doing it on purpose...

Jiang Mingzhu had a premonition that this business trip wouldn't go well, she didn't want to go, so she went straight to Zhou Li.

Zhou Li saw her coming over, he wasn't surprised, but still kept up his aloof attitude.

Ginger Mingzhu got straight to the point. "I don't want to go on a business trip."

What's up

Ginger Mingzhu: "You did this on purpose, didn't you"

Zhou Li didn't speak, slowly and methodically straightening his collar. Jiang Mingzhu wanted to scold him.

Jiang Mingzhu: "Brother, you're being so high-profile taking me on a business trip, aren't you afraid your fiancée will be angry"

"Isn't this what you wanted"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Brother, aren't you going to break up with your fiancée for me"

Zhou Li: "You're quite ambitious."

Jiang Mingzhu wasn't that insecure. She just wanted to make Zhou Li angry and upset, so he wouldn't take her on the business trip.

"Earring found."

When Ginger Mingzhu heard the words "earring," her eyes instantly changed from before. "Where is it Give it to me."

The Zhouli: "Let's see how you perform."

Jiang Mingzhu: "What do you mean"

Zhouli: "The banquet in Huainan."

" ...You want me to accompany another man"

I have no comment on the Zhou Ritual.

Jiang Mingzhu used her fingernails to pinch the center of her palm, not knowing how much effort it took to hold back the urge to slap this dog-thing.

She squeezed out a fake smile. "Good, brother, rest assured, my skills will definitely not disappoint you."

Unwilling to look at his face any longer, Jiang Mingzhu tossed out this sentence and turned away.

Zhou Li took a box out of the drawer and opened it. Inside was the earring.

He sneered.

For it, she could endure accompanying other men.his body told a different story. A little touch, and it was like a volcano eruption.In a few minutes, Jiang Mingzhu received a WeChat message from Zhan Yanqing: [I'm on a business trip for two days,...
