Only one door of the office was closed, and the other was open. Song Jingye had already noticed that An Lin was not at his work station. He walked to the door, knocked on the door, and walked into He Zikai's office.
He Zikai was about to review the document. As soon as he opened the document, he heard a knock on the door and looked up.
For a moment, there was a look of surprise on his face.
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you in advance that I would come? Why are you so surprised?" Song Jingye didn't understand He Zikai's expression. He walked up to He Zikai, pulled the stool next to him, and sat down opposite He Zikai. There was only one thing between them.
There's a desk across the way.
"Did you see..." He Zikai almost said his name, but was suddenly startled and immediately changed his words, "Didn't you meet someone just now?"
"Who should I meet?" Song Jingye still looked confused, feeling that He Zikai's words were a bit nonsensical.
Song Jingye spread his hands and showed a very frank look, "I see An Lin every time I come here. I didn't see him this time. Is it an accident?"
He Zikai was sure that Song Jingye had not met Gu Yao, and his mood changed a little. As usual, he said seriously, "I have a business plan, and I need you to cooperate with me."
Gu Yao's words last time still echoed in her ears. She didn't want Jing Ye to know, so she had to keep silent. It was... to thank her for helping Nuo'er!
Song Jingye didn't expect that He Zikai would change the topic immediately, but he still didn't think much about it and answered He Zikai's words, "Well..."
The two began to chat about their career plans, with seriousness in each other's hearts and faces.
…
When Gu Yao returned to the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Culture had calmed down. It stands to reason that when Gu Yao came to the Ministry of Culture from Anlin, the Ministry of Culture was peaceful.
Cheng Nuo was sitting at his desk busy, trying his best to focus all his thoughts on the planning of Lehua City, but his mind couldn't help but think of He Zikai's face.
The long day was very torturous for Cheng Nuo, and even more torturous for He Zikai.
He Zikai had nothing important to deal with in the afternoon. He really wanted to go to the Ministry of Culture to inspect it in the name of work, even just to take a look at Cheng Nuo. However, he was worried that the woman did not want to see him do anything, so he finally held back his heart.
I sat in the office waiting, waiting to get off work, waiting to go home to see her.
There were still ten minutes before get off work. Cheng Nuo clicked the save button with the mouse, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body gradually relaxed from the tension.
Cheng Nuo printed out the plan as quickly as possible. After finishing it, Cheng Nuo walked towards Mi Ying with the plan in hand.
"Director Mi, this is Leroy City's plan." Cheng Nuo stood next to Mi Ying. After speaking, he put the plan on Mi Ying's desk and turned around to leave.
"..." Miying looked at Cheng Nuo's back with some surprise. Did she really finish it before leaving get off work?
Look at the time again, there are still two minutes until get off work.
"Hmph... The plan that was rushed out in a hurry must be of poor quality and poor thinking." Mi Ying said unconvinced, still full of jealousy towards Cheng Nuo in her heart.
Cheng Nuo had no time to pay attention to what Mi Ying said. Ever since what happened in the morning, his respect for Mi Ying was no longer what it used to be. In other words, for someone like her, he didn't feel like respecting her.
If you rob your own husband and beat your own people, how can you talk about respect?
As soon as the off-duty time came, Cheng Nuo and other colleagues around him tidied up the office and prepared to go home from get off work.
"Cheng Nuo, you are working overtime today, and this plan needs to be revised." Mi Ying casually glanced at the plan before saying this.
She was lucky to be able to hand over the plan to her before getting off work. However, among her subordinates, most of the reasons for suppressing her were that she didn't want her to get off work early, so naturally she couldn't leave.
"Director Mi, please mark the parts that need to be modified with a pen. I will modify them at work tomorrow." Cheng Nuo naturally knew that Mi Ying was looking for trouble for himself, but he was not a softie. He learned to protect himself and to fight against himself.
Things that I have understood and learned to do from a long time ago.
"You..." Mi Ying was furious and was about to teach Cheng Nuo a lesson, but Cheng Nuo interrupted her before she could say anything.
"If I remember correctly, Assistant An said in the morning that the election in Lehua City will be next month, so there's no need to rush, right?" Cheng Nuo said these words very easily, and he was already walking towards the door with his bag in hand.
.
"..." Mi Ying was speechless. She couldn't find the words to catch Cheng Nuo's words. She could only watch Cheng Nuo clock out and get off work, but she was very angry.
Cheng Nuo left the office, drove to the parking lot, and headed home.
Along the way, Cheng Nuo was not driving very fast. The window was open, and the wind blew into the car and hit his face. Cheng Nuo felt a burning pain on his face.
After receiving that slap in the morning, I just went to the bathroom and washed myself with cold water. Because I was in a hurry to make a plan, I didn’t pay too much attention to the bloated face. Now I don’t need to look in the mirror to know how ugly I am at the moment.
Her face is definitely asymmetrical.
…
By the Lishui Bay, He Zikai had returned home long ago and stood in the restaurant, watching Aunt Lan preparing ice cubes.
"Sir, are these ice cubes enough?" Aunt Lan took out a box of ice cubes from the refrigerator and asked.
"Well, get some new towels." He Zikai said.
"Okay." Aunt Lan didn't know what He Zikai was going to do. He asked her to prepare ice cubes as soon as he got home. Seeing that his face was not very good, she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only do as he wanted.
When Aunt Lan brought a new towel and handed it to He Zikai, the door to the living room was pushed open. Aunt Lan and He Zikai looked over and Cheng Nuo walked in.
Cheng Nuo walked into the living room and saw He Zikai and Aunt Lan at first sight. He didn't take a serious look at what they were doing. He just glanced at them indifferently, then lowered his head to change into slippers and walked towards the stairs.
Aunt Lan originally wanted to greet Cheng Nuo, but when Cheng Nuo approached and saw the marks on her face, she suddenly understood what the husband meant by preparing ice cubes.
He Zikai watched Cheng Nuo go upstairs step by step, his heart bleeding drop by drop.
Nuo'er, don't go so far, okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to catch you back.
"Sir, please go upstairs. Dinner will be ready soon. I will go upstairs to call you and your wife." Aunt Lan's voice brought He Zikai back to his thoughts.
"Well..." He Zikai responded, holding a towel in one hand and an ice cube box in the other, and walked upstairs.
When He Zikai walked into the bedroom, Cheng Nuo had just come out of the cloakroom and had already changed into pajamas.
Cheng Nuo then took a serious look at He Zikai and noticed what was in his hand.
Cheng Nuo wasn't too surprised, and just said lightly, "I'm a little tired, so I'll rest first. You can have dinner alone."
After saying that, Cheng Nuo ignored He Zikai's reaction, walked to the bed, pulled back the quilt, and went to bed to rest.
He Zikai felt a little uncomfortable with Cheng Nuo being so indifferent, because he knew the reason for her behavior, so he was not surprised. (To be continued)
