MTL - Approach-Chapter 23
Zhexi's face in the mirror was reddish, she breathed a sigh of relief, and caressed her chest with her right hand, the beating rhythm of her heart spread from the texture of her palm to the nerve endings... She lowered her head and pursed her lips, and looked at her right palm. The soft touch seems to be embedded in it, and it is still stirring her heart at this moment...
She calmed down a little and came out of the bathroom.
"I'll go back first." Zhexi stood beside Xiaoji, with normal expression on his face.
"Um."
"If your stomach still feels bad for a while, remember to buy medicine." Zhexi reminded her before leaving, but Su Mochen ignored her.
There was nothing wrong with her left and right, and she was upset, so Zhexi didn't go home and drove directly to the company.
She was quite focused when she was working, at least she didn't think about anything else this afternoon.
At a quarter past six, Wan Lizhe called her.
Not only did Zhexi not pick up the phone, but she also turned her phone to silent mode, and then went to the leisure area with a cup of hot drink to rest her eyes with her eyes closed. She leaned against the sofa and took a sip of her drink from time to time, feeling very comfortable...
She didn't get up until the cup was bottomed out, and after refilling the hot drink, she returned to her seat, swiped the phone screen with her index finger, and there were twelve missed calls... It seemed that something really happened, Zhexi put down the cup, took the phone and went to the leisure area again …
"Why did you answer the phone? Do you know how many times I called you? I said how do you..."
"If you have something to talk about, hang up if you have nothing to do." Zhexi cut him off with one sentence.
Wan Lizhe's arrogance suddenly weakened a lot: "Well...I want to treat you to dinner tonight..."
Zhexi frowned: "Is this what you want to say?" Just because of this, you called me twelve times? Believe it or not, I'll kill you with a cucumber...
"It's not me," Wan Lizhe muttered, "it's Miss Su Er."
"What?" Zhexi suspected that she was hallucinating, why would that tigress invite her to dinner.
"She reserved a seat in advance, at XXX restaurant, and said that the two of us would go over at eight o'clock in the evening..."
"Oh, I really think of myself as a lady," Zhexi sneered, "Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me..."
Not long after Zhexi hung up the phone, he received a text message from Wan Lizhe: Second Miss Su intends to cooperate with our department. This is a rare opportunity...
Zhexi replied to him: I'm just a part-time worker...
Wan Lizhe tried his best to persuade him a few more words, but in the end he only got a sentence from Zhexi: I will not and cannot cooperate with her, a friendly reminder, you should stay away from that tigress in the future...
Wan Lizhe shook his head helplessly, he didn't know why Zhexi was so hostile to Miss Su Er, thinking that it would be pointless to persuade him any further, Wan Lizhe went to the appointment alone...
At noon the next day, there was quite a commotion in the Wan family. The second lady of the Su family came to block Zhexi in the leisure area of the chip design department. Others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene...
Su Ao crossed his arms, looked proudly at Zhexi, and said in a sullen tone, "Why didn't you go yesterday?"
Zhexi sat on the sofa, put his hands in front of his stomach, and raised his eyebrows: "Why should I go?"
As soon as she said this, the breathing sounds of those watching the excitement could be clearly heard... I guess they all sweated secretly for her...
"I invited you and made a reservation in advance..."
"Oh," Zhexi seemed to hear something funny, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she tilted her head and raised her hands to brush off the front of her clothes, "So I have to go?" She raised her eyes and looked directly at her, sarcastically He said, "Or is there any law in the country that stipulates that Miss Su must go to the invitation?"
Su Ao had bulging veins on the back of his hands, trembling slightly, and looked at her coldly: "Don't you think about the consequences when you do things?"
Zhexi snorted coldly, got up, and the moment she passed her, she said: "You are not in my consideration..."
Su Ao was furious when she heard this, her eyes were scarlet... She clenched her hands into a fist, and pressed her nails into the soft flesh of her palm... But the strange thing is, she didn't make any other movements, and left angrily under the puzzled eyes of everyone …
As soon as Zhexi returned to the work area, Wan Lizhe dragged him into his office...
"What happened between you and her?" When the two of them were confronting each other, Wan Lizhe ate melons at an off-angle the whole time, and now the curiosity in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Zhexi sat on the sofa and glanced at him. A big man is more gossip than a woman... Zhexi couldn't help but hold his forehead...
"I don't care about you?"
"I don't need you to care, just mind your own business..."
Wan Lizhe took out a cigarette, then sat on the semicircular swivel chair and blew a white circle: "You didn't go yesterday, she was very upset at that time... She came to look for you today, I was a little surprised, but I still guessed something ..."
"Didn't you go talk with her? How did the talk go?" Although Zhexi didn't care about Su Ao, she was still a little puzzled by her sudden invitation to her abnormal behavior, not to mention that she was crowded into the company today. …
"Don't mention it," Wan Lizhe stubbed out the cigarette, "I don't know if it's because you didn't go, but she didn't give me a good look last night, and she didn't say a few words, so she just excused herself gone…."
Zhexi lowered her eyes in thought.
"I guess," Wan Lizhe chewed another piece of gum, "the person she really wanted to invite last night was you...I might just be a foil..." When he said this, his expression was a little hurt, "Oh, I really do I thought she, Second Miss Su, wanted to cooperate with me..." He hurriedly went away, and returned in despair, Wan Lizhe was also very upset by this matter...
Wan Lizhe is the youngest son of Wanpeng. Although he is favored, he is also checked and balanced by various aspects in the company. Wan Peng has married three wives in his life, and Wan Lizhe's mother, Zhou Hui, is his third daughter-in-law (the first two have passed away). The three women gave Wan Peng six sons and two daughters. But Zhou Hui only had one son, Wan Lizhe. Wan Lizhe has no sisters and brothers to help, and his mother is soft-tempered. It is not easy for him to get to where he is today, but if he wants to reach a higher level, he needs to rely on powerful external forces... If the Su family is interested, it is the best choice choice...
"Then why do you think she invited me to dinner?" Zhexi thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out...
Wan Lizhe chewed his gum, raised his eyebrows and said coquettishly, "Why else? I've fallen in love with you..."
