Zhang Ling watched Shan Liu bid farewell and left.
She looked at the secretary of the group general manager and asked:
"Milly, is the general manager in the office? I have something urgent to see him."
Milly smiled and shook her head and said:
"Vice President Zhang, this is really unlucky. The general manager was waiting for you in the office. But he just took an important call and left in a hurry."
Zhang Ling wondered if the general manager was deliberately avoiding her because of the rumors.
So I asked next:
"what phone?"
Milly felt a little embarrassed and said:
"Well...it sounds to me like some important person from the top management has arrived. The general manager is busy going to receive him."
Just judging from Milly's explanation.
She must be worrying too much.
So she said "Oh" without thinking too much.
Just when she wanted to ask the general manager when he would have time again.
Milly spoke again and continued:
"By the way, Vice President Zhang, the general manager asked me to tell you before he leaves. What you want to say is not urgent. We will talk about it when you have time when you get to work."
That's what Milly said.
But she is also the one who least wants Zhang Ling to come back to work.
On the surface, Milly and Zhang Ling have no conflict of interest.
Why does she not want Zhang Ling to come back to work?
Because Milly's husband was working under Zhang Ling's hands, both covertly and covertly.
In the end, Zhang Ling was demoted.
This means that her family income has become lower because of Zhang Ling.
Recently, it’s because Zhang Ling is not here.
Millie is using connections to promote her husband to other more lucrative positions.
This matter is almost successful.
Milly didn't want Zhang Ling to ruin her husband's promotion plan after going to work.
Zhang Ling did not hear the flaw in Milly's words for the time being.
However, I can even meet the general manager today.
Zhang Ling didn't expect the general manager to compromise and let her come back to work immediately.
Even the general manager asked her to come back to work.
She couldn't come back right away either.
Because of the rumors among colleagues in the office building, sooner or later she would be put on leave again.
So all she can count on is Willow from the Other Mountains.
certainly!
Even if there is a problem with this move of Bie Shanliu.
Zhang Ling also has an alternative plan, Li Xiang.
Just thinking about Li Xiang's attitude towards her at the door of the hotel.
She doesn't have a strong desire to go to Li Xiang directly.
So after some polite greetings, he turned around and walked towards the door of the office building.
Near noon.
Zhang Ling had just returned home not long ago.
Then she heard the old housekeeper knocking on the door.
I saw the figure of the old housekeeper at the door of my house.
She didn't feel surprised at all.
Because of the power of the Li family.
Can you figure out where Zhang Ling is?
That's all a piece of cake.
Zhang Ling was about to leave with the old housekeeper.
My father happened to come out of the kitchen.
I just glanced at the old housekeeper.
The father immediately stepped forward with a nervous look on his face, grabbed Zhang Ling's wrist, and pulled her to a relatively secluded place.
Zhang Ling asked with some confusion:
"Dad, why are you pulling me? I told you before. The old patriarch invited me to lunch today. That's who came to pick me up."
Father took another look at the old housekeeper waiting at the door.
Then he turned into a magic stick and said to Zhang Ling with a little mystery:
"Lingling, I noticed that the face of the person at the door was gloomy. There was a faint air of murder. I'm afraid your trip is in danger. No..."
Zhang Ling didn't wait for her father to finish speaking.
She took over the conversation and said:
"Dad, when did you become so nagging? I'm just going to have a casual meal with you. What's the danger? Besides, Li Xiang is also going with you."
When my father saw it, it was because he had cooked too much for lunch.
For fear of wasting it, I wanted Zhang Ling to stay and eat together.
However, her father trusted Li Xiang far more than she did as his daughter.
After hearing it again, Li Xianghui went with him.
Immediately changed his previous demeanor.
She looked worried that Zhang Ling wouldn't go.
They pushed and pushed Zhang Ling to hurry up.
She said that she must not let Li Xiang wait for her for too long.
Zhang Ling looked at her father in bewilderment and asked:
"Dad, are you not worried about the danger of my trip now?"
The father smiled innocently like a child and pretended to have lost his memory and said:
"Danger! What danger? Zhang Ling, you kid. Why do you have such bad ears at such a young age?"
"My ears are bad?"
Zhang Ling smiled bitterly.
The father didn't pay attention to Zhang Ling and continued to explain:
"What I'm telling you is to stop eating naked. Become a real foodie. Exchange your feelings with your elders more often when you have time."
Zhang Ling just thought that wealthy families would pay attention to "eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking".
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper said a little bit:
"Old sir, you are worrying too much! The old patriarch likes the patriarch's wife very much. That's why he specially invited the patriarch's wife to have a common meal together."
The father smiled kindly at the old housekeeper.
But he was muttering very unhappy in his heart.
Why didn't I see that your old patriarch likes our Zhang Ling?
If the old patriarch really likes it.
Why don't you invite your patriarch's wife's father to have a casual dinner with you?
In the end, my father did not say these words.
Because my daughter wants to go to other people's territory to eat.
I offended these little devils.
I was afraid that the old housekeeper would secretly put on Zhang Ling's shoes.
certainly!
The father also did not agree to the old housekeeper's words.
He continued to grab Zhang Ling's wrist and said:
"If there is any danger in eating, then it is true. When you eat fish, be careful of fish bones; when you eat meatballs, be sure to chew them thoroughly, otherwise you will choke..."
If Zhang Ling hadn't immediately warned her father that he was talking too much, a lot of time would have been wasted.
My father could probably talk about it until the afternoon without taking a break.
The old butler felt that he was already chatty enough.
Unexpectedly, after meeting Zhang Pengtian, I felt that I was a small person.
Zhang Pengtian is really capable of nagging!
Farewell to my father.
She followed the old housekeeper to the car.
Just glanced inside the car.
She only found the driver alone in the car.
Li Xiang was not found in the car.
Zhang Ling instantly felt something was wrong.
She heard Li Xiang say where did the old patriarch usually live?
No matter which way you go in that direction, you have to pass Li Xiang's Zhihua Technology first.
So it stands to reason that she should pick up Li Xiang first.
The old housekeeper saw that she had not yet started to get into the car.
Having already thought of Zhang Ling's concerns, she smiled and explained:
"Madam of the patriarch, get in the car quickly! We have been wasted a lot of time here. Next we have to take a detour to pick up the patriarch."
"Detour?"
The old housekeeper explained:
"It is said that the patriarch went to XX meeting to meet an important client. The place is a bit remote. I'm afraid we have to hurry up."
When the old housekeeper said this, she thought of Li's appearance when he left the hotel.
It seems that Li Xiang did not lie to her.
He really left in a hurry because he was in a hurry to meet a client.
Zhang Ling heard that the place she went to next was a bit off.
Immediately alert and asked:
"I remember that Li Xiang knew where the old patriarch lived. Couldn't we let him..."
As Zhang Ling spoke, she felt something was wrong.
If Li Xiang is really asked to go to the old patriarch alone.
Then they will most likely arrive at the old patriarch one after another.
What happened in the hotel this morning had sounded the alarm for her.
If Li Xi takes this opportunity to do something similar to the hotel again...
She didn't dare to think about it any more.
The old housekeeper said doubtfully at this time:
"Madam Patriarch, what do you want to say? I don't understand."
Zhang Ling said with a smile:
"Oh, I want to say that since that place is a bit remote, why not call Li Xiang to come to us. Let's wait for Li Xiang to come and then we can go together."
She felt that as long as she appeared with Li Xiang at the old patriarch's place.
I believe that Li Xi's conspiracy will not be given an opportunity.
The old housekeeper was obviously a little embarrassed and said:
"this……"
Zhang Ling understood the old housekeeper's intention.
I just want to win her sympathy in this way.
Compassion versus life safety.
Zhang Ling would rather be a hard-hearted woman.
She continued without compromise:
"You don't have to worry. When you were at my house just now, you said that the old patriarch likes me very much. I believe that the old patriarch will definitely maintain a tolerant and understanding attitude towards my willfulness."
The old housekeeper was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain?
There was a slight pause.
He continued with a pleading tone:
"Mrs. Patriarch, what you said is correct! However, such a change has occurred. Can you please allow me to report the current change to the old patriarch?"
Zhang Ling said with a smile:
"I won't make it difficult for you. If you want to say it, just say it."
She thought about it!
If you can't go with Li Xiang to see the old patriarch.
She would rather not go anywhere today.
The old housekeeper deliberately talked on the phone with the old patriarch for a while behind Zhang Ling's back.
Finally, she came to Zhang Ling with a forced smile and said:
"Mrs. Patriarch, the old Patriarch said it would be fine. He just has nothing to do today. He is very willing to wait for the Patriarch and Madam for a while."
At first glance, the old housekeeper looks like a complete loser.
I deliberately said this just to put some pressure on Zhang Ling with morality.
Trying to get Zhang Ling to compromise, he set off immediately.
To be honest, if I hadn’t experienced Shangguan Aoxue’s dinner incident that morning.
Maybe Zhang Ling was so kind-hearted that she immediately got on the bus.
However, Zhang Ling now faces a more serious problem.
That's why she couldn't get through Li Xiang's phone number.
It's not a reminder that it's not in the service area.
It means it is temporarily unavailable.
Could it be that Li Xiang was attracted by an alien woman and abducted into outer space?
The old housekeeper seemed to have anticipated the result.
He was calm and calm, and looked on with a smile as if he were watching a show.
I called Zhang Ling five or six times but still didn't get through.
The old housekeeper also warmly comforted and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. Just call another one. Maybe you can get through next time."
First time hearing this.
Zhang Ling felt warmly in her heart that the old housekeeper was not a bad person!
After listening to it five or six times.
Zhang Ling only felt extremely embarrassed in her heart.
In her heart, she was cursing Li Xiang, the bastard.
We obviously knew that we had to go to the old patriarch’s place for dinner at this time.
He didn't want to answer the phone even if he was angry with her.
You have to choose a good time.
Thanks to his father for trusting Li Xiang so much.
Right here?
After this incident is over, she must expose Li Xiang's ugly face to her father.
Simply calling Li Xiang took almost half an hour.
Zhang Ling finally felt embarrassed herself.
I had no choice but to call the old housekeeper who was watching the show and immediately rush to the old patriarch.
The car is moving.
Zhang Ling still did not give up calling Li Xiang.
This seems to have become Zhang Ling's obsession.
It's not for anything else now.
She just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction after Li Xiang answered the phone.
The old housekeeper sitting in the passenger seat looked at Zhang Ling with a bitter look on her face.
There was always a smile on his face.
However, there was no trace of ridicule in this smile.
On the contrary, there is a strong sense of envy.
to this end.
The old housekeeper also revealed Zhang Ling's little thoughts deliberately and said:
"Madam of the Patriarch, it seems that you still love the Patriarch very much. Not seeing each other for a moment makes you miss each other like three autumns. You must insist on calling the Patriarch."
Zhang Ling's face instantly turned red.
When the air conditioner is turned on in the car, you can feel the heat from the inside out.
However, Zhang Ling would not admit this easily.
So he stubbornly defended himself to the old housekeeper:
"No way? I don't! Uncle XX (old housekeeper), please stop talking nonsense, okay?"
While talking, Zhang Ling lost her temper and threw her cell phone into her bag.
Thereby concealing her guilty conscience.
The old housekeeper pretended to be a little scared and said:
"No more, no more, everything depends on the patriarch's wife."
Zhang Ling could clearly see that the old housekeeper looked scared.
In fact, you can see the smile from the other person's micro-expression.
certainly!
Zhang Ling is not in the mood to be an unreasonable person now.
I must clarify this matter with the old housekeeper.
Because Li Xiang’s phone couldn’t be connected.
She couldn't figure out whether Li Xiang went directly to the old patriarch?
Therefore, what Zhang Ling should be most worried about are the unexpected surprises that may occur during this trip.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is not ruled out that Li Xiang has had an unknown accident.
Because Li Xiang once said that he would always keep the phone open for her.
Even if she forced the breakup.
He was angry because of what happened in front of the hotel that morning.
With Li Xiang's current status, it is unlikely that he would shut down his phone and disappear.
Recalling the process when she called Li Xiang.
The old housekeeper obviously spoke with the old patriarch on the phone.
His nervous and worried face immediately became a little calmer.
It felt like the old housekeeper had already found out where Li Xiang was through the old patriarch.
Now I just deliberately don’t let Zhang Ling know about it alone.
Think of this.
Zhang Ling took the initiative to ask:
"Uncle XX, I have a question that I really want to ask you. I hope you can answer it truthfully."
The old housekeeper replied almost subconsciously:
"Mrs. Patriarch, you are too polite! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As long as I know, I will tell you everything."
Zhang Ling looked at the old housekeeper seriously and asked:
"Uncle XX, why do I feel like you know why I can't get through to Li Xiang?"
The old housekeeper looked back at Zhang Ling with a kind smile and said:
"I know. But it's just a guess. Are you sure the patriarch's wife still wants to know about this guess?"
Zhang Ling replied with a firm look and the word "think".
The old housekeeper sat up straight and explained to Zhang Ling:
"The place where the old patriarch Xi Jing lives is equipped with an infinite signal jamming device. The patriarch may have already arrived at the old patriarch's place."
At first glance!
The old housekeeper's explanation seemed to be perfect.
But there is still a huge causal contradiction.
With the power of the Li family, it is impossible to guess the whereabouts of just one Li Xiang.
If Li Xiang really went to the old patriarch's place.
The old housekeeper would not have planned to take Zhang Ling to pick up Li Xiang from the beginning.
Since I proposed to pick up Li Xiang from the beginning.
Either Li Xiang really wants to discuss work at the XX club mentioned by the old housekeeper;
Either Li Xiang was just talking about work at XX Club as a pretense.
The main purpose is to bring her Zhang Ling to that club...
