Chapter 36 Li's High-level Explosion

"I mean, Secretary Fan has very good crisis public relations skills." Li Wenzhao was so angry that his voice was raised a lot.

Jing Yi uttered "oh" softly.

Whenever he saw Fan Ming, he would think of Secretary Zou next door.

Shen Shubai made a scene at Li's alone, with no one to accompany him or to persuade him. Did Secretary Zou leave his post without permission? Or did he ask for leave again?

Jing Yi was shocked when he thought of something.

Secretary Zou, you're not still doing exercises at home, are you?

With the intention of giving it a try, Jing Yi took out his cell phone and sent a text message to someone.

[Your Uncle Jing]: Secretary Zou? [Cat peeking outjpg.]

[Secretary Zou next door]: 0.o?

[Uncle Jing]: Are you going to work or taking a rest today?

[Secretary Zou next door]: I took a New Year's holiday.

No wonder then.

The last time Shen Shubai came to Li's to cause trouble, it was Secretary Zou who tried to stop him. Now that Secretary Zou has taken a leave, Shen Shubai is left unattended and has begun to run around causing trouble.

While he was thinking, his cell phone rang again.

[Secretary Zou next door]: Assistant Jing, there is a problem with the question you sent me.

[Your Uncle Jing]: What's the problem?

Jing Yi smiled, it must be too easy to do. I am addicted to it and can't extricate myself.

[Secretary Zou next door]: I found that the answers to several questions were seriously wrong, so I called the book-selling agency to correct them, but they were still not convinced! [Angry catjpg.]

Jing Yi said cautiously: [So...?]

[Secretary Zou next door]: I have now arrived at the offline address of the organization and am about to criticize and correct them.

[Your Uncle Jing]: ...

Jing Yi's eyes trembled. What a good Secretary Zou was. He actually dared to come to someone's house to fight with him!

"What's wrong?" Perhaps because Jing Yi's eyes were too sharp, Li Wenzhao turned his head away, "Your eyes tell me that you seem to have gotten into trouble again."

"No." Jing Yi put away his phone modestly, pursed his lips, and spoke in a deep tone: "But I seem to have led Secretary Zou down a path of no return."

Li Wenzhao: "..."

·

After eating melons all morning and not getting any work done, Jing Yi felt a little ashamed of his high salary.

Look at Secretary Fan, he is busy as a top, while he is idle as a fish.

Jing Yi put the messy snacks on his desk into the drawer, turned on the computer, then turned around and looked at Li Wenzhao eagerly, like a child waiting for the teacher to assign homework.

"Jingyi." Li Wenzhao felt the housekeeper's passionate gaze without turning around.

"Yeah?" Jing Yi looked up obediently.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Waiting for the young master to assign me...work."

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to pray to God?"

Jing Yi said in a relaxed tone: "I prayed. I am now worshipping Buddha and pursuing my career at the same time. I can't neglect either one."

"Just know how to keep your feet on the ground." Li Wenzhao's lips twitched slightly: "Praying to gods and Buddhas is just deceiving yourself. Real success comes from acquired efforts."

Jing Yi was silent for two seconds, his eyes lit up: "So I'll take a rest today and tomorrow."

"..."

Li Wenzhao skipped the topic and pondered over the documents on the desk: "There is no job suitable for you."

Jing Yi craned his neck and looked at one of the folders with a unique color: "No one? I think this one is suitable for me."

"You said it's suitable without even seeing the content." Li Wenzhao sneered: "Secretary Fan doesn't have your foresight."

Jing Yi pursed her lips happily, then gently corrected: "Let's not drag down Secretary Fan."

"..."

Behind him, Secretary Fan, who was about to knock on the door, stopped suddenly: "..."

How come there is me in your play?

Fan Ming was trembling too obviously, and Li Wenzhao came back to his senses, "What's the matter?"

Fan Ming suppressed the trembling in his heart and said calmly: "Boss Li, the high-level meeting will start in ten minutes."

Li Wenzhao nodded, stood up and put on his coat, and the two of them prepared to go out for a meeting. Jing Yi poked his head out from behind his small desk and looked at him attentively: "What about me?"

Li Wenzhao buttoned up his shirt, lowered his eyes to look at him, and after a moment he said, "Look after the house."

"..."

【Step by step. 】

[I finally wanted to make progress, but God still didn't give me a chance. I really am only suitable for praying to God and being a salted fish. Haha. 】

Hearing these bad words, Li Wenzhao paused, remembering that he still needed Jingyi's help with something.

He pulled out a stack of documents from the confidential filing cabinet: "This is the personnel information for all positions in the headquarters. Take a look."

Jing Yi took it and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Tell them their fortunes." Li Wenzhao said in a relaxed tone, "See which of them will betray you in the future."

Fan Ming: "..."

Hiss, he seemed to be increasingly unable to understand the play between the big boss and the little housekeeper.

Li Wenzhao had transferred these materials from the Human Resources Department a few days ago. He had always wanted to show them to the housekeeper, but was delayed by the collective collapse of the Internet.

Li Wenzhao knew that there were too many people with bad intentions around him, and each of them was eyeing the Li family covetously. If Jing Yi had not fallen from the sky, who knows what the Li family would have become.

Jing Yi understood what Li Wenzhao meant: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will calculate it carefully."

Li Wenzhao thought of the troubles that the young butler had caused in the past, and he said meaningfully: "It's better this way."

Jing Yi's body trembled: "Master, what kind of troublemaker am I in your eyes?"

Li Wenzhao chuckled: "What do you think?"

Recalling what he had done, Jing Yi: "..."

Well, you're right, he is a troublemaker butler.

He was the only one left in the office, and Jing Yi stayed there peacefully to do his homework.

In the conference room downstairs, all the senior executives from the headquarters had arrived. When they saw Li Wenzhao approaching, they immediately stood up and greeted him.

Li Wenzhao nodded: "Sit down, no more small talk, Finance Department, report on the revenue of the last quarter."

"Okay." A middle-aged man stood up.

At the same time, Jing Yi upstairs began to check the personnel information.

[Which one should I start with...]

[Let's start with you, the finance department that handles the most money! ]

Li Wenzhao's eyes flashed and fell on the man who was talking in front of him.

"The data shows that real estate income in the last quarter increased year-on-year..."

[Hmm? Wang Tingshan, the Finance Manager...]

[I remember now, this guy is a big bug! His daughter is Shen Shubai's lover. On the surface, she looks honest and steady, but in fact, she is a traitor who eats from both sides! ...Is this how it can be described? ]

[This person secretly embezzled public funds and made the report look very beautiful. In fact, he had already bought a large villa in a non-extradition country. He was just waiting for the Li family to go bankrupt, and then he would fly over to enjoy a peaceful life! ]

【This is a big bastard! Cross it out! 】

In the conference room, the man finished his report calmly and said with a smile: "The above is the work report submitted by our Finance Department. Please give your instructions, Mr. Li."

The office was quiet.

The man sitting in the first seat had an unpleasant expression on his face.

The manager of the finance department stood there awkwardly, thinking back to the data just now. That's right, he had checked it three times, there shouldn't be any flaws...

"Manager Wang." Li Wenzhao spoke.

Wang Tingshan smiled cautiously: "Please speak, Mr. Li."

Li Wenzhao raised his head, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, but his tone was neither salty nor bland, "I heard that you bought a villa abroad and also acquired some property. I'm very curious, when are you going to immigrate?"

"......"Wang Tingshan's face turned pale.

The meeting room was filled with surprise, and the senior executives began to talk about it.

The incident happened too suddenly. Wang Tingshan was unprepared and stammered nervously, "Li, Mr. Li, are you kidding me? How can I afford to buy a villa abroad... and, and, and, and buy property? Even if you sell me, I'm not worth that much money."

Li Wenzhao sneered: "Aren't all the money of the Li family in your hands? Didn't you secretly take some of it?"

There was a loud rumbling sound in Wang Tingshan's mind.

He knows! Li Wenzhao knows!

His mind was blank. The fear of going to jail had disrupted his thoughts. However, facing the questioning, he still refused to give in: "Boss Li, I am an employee of Li Corporation... How could I, how could I embezzle public funds? You can't say anything without evidence..."

Li Wenzhao stared at the confused man in silence, and sighed in his heart, "What, was I wrong? You are not Shen Shubai's father-in-law?"

There was a rustling sound in the conference room.

Wang Tingshan's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he collapsed to the ground in a cold sweat.

Li Wenzhao said coldly: "Secretary Fan, call the security team downstairs and contact Captain He of the Capital City Police Department."

Fan Ming has been sitting stupidly in the corner for a long time.

Isn't this a high-level meeting? How did it suddenly turn into a meeting to catch adulterers?

A corrupt official was also arrested!

Fan Ming quickly calmed down his shock and immediately contacted the security team. Five minutes later, the security captain led his men to take Wang Tingshan away.

Everyone in the conference room was as quiet as a chicken.

Li Wenzhao looked at these familiar faces. These people worked with him all day long, but secretly they were colluding with outsiders to cheat him.

Why?

He asked himself why everyone around him was so malicious towards him since there was nothing wrong with his behavior, he never criticized his subordinates, never vented his emotions at the company, and never delayed paying wages.

Li Wenzhao's breathing became slightly heavy and his dark eyes closed slightly.

Upstairs, Jing Yi began to mutter to himself again.

[Next, let's look at the department manager first. As the saying goes, when shooting a man, shoot the horse first; when capturing a thief, capture the leader first.]

[There are so many departments, so I'll just click on the chicken. I'll choose whoever the rooster clicks on! It's you, the lucky one in the R&D department!]

Li Wenzhao suppressed his surging emotions and spoke slowly: "R&D department."

The person who was called was a female executive with red lips, big curly hair, and a smart and formal suit. She was still in the aftermath of Manager Wang being dragged away, and it took her several seconds to come back to her senses.

She stood up, opened the PPT, and said tremblingly: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will report to you next..."

Li Wenzhao listened to her listing the data, and gradually, he turned his attention to the housekeeper's complaints.

[Chen Leilei, Vocal! This person is a big pervert! ]

[Willfully bullying department employees, squeezing out bonuses, and inserting his high school-educated relatives into every department of the Li Corporation! ]

[What's even worse is that she is a pervert and exploits and humiliates the department employees. During the department team building, she made a male college graduate crawl under her feet to drink in public, forcing him to resign in shame and anger, and then joined the Shen Group.]

[This male employee is a powerful person with superb hacking skills. Shen Shubai relied on this hack to detonate all the hidden black materials inside the Li family. ]

【Ahhhh, how could this person be so mean! I'll give you a fork! A big one!】

Li Wenzhao: "..."

His eyes changed color and he raised his hand to stop. Chen Leilei didn't understand why, but she had a bad feeling in her heart: "Boss Li?"

Li Wenzhao pinched his brows and asked, "Have any new employees left the R&D department recently?"

Chen Leilei was confused by this irrelevant question, but she was relieved in her heart: "No."

Li Wenzhao nodded. Chen Leilei wanted to continue reporting when she heard the man's cold voice in her ears, "Next time, let all the R&D department employees come together."

Chen Leilei was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded: "Boss Li, they are all a bunch of tech geeks, they rarely go out, and they don't talk much..."

"Don't they know how to speak, or do you not allow them to speak?" Li Wenzhao interrupted her directly.

Chen Leilei was stunned for a moment: "Boss Li...what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything." Li Wenzhao said in a low voice: "The R&D department is not your one-man show, and my employees are not your slaves to be arbitrarily manipulated."

Chen Leilei's face changed and her breathing became disordered.

How did Li Wenzhao know what she did in private? Who was reporting her?

"Boss Li." Chen Leilei explained hurriedly: "This must be a misunderstanding..."

"Really?" Li Wenzhao sneered: "What is your relationship with the person you planted in the company?"

Although Li Wenzhao had no evidence, he had been in power for many years and was very good at manipulating people's hearts. He could accurately pick out the key points from Jing Yi's words and could make people lose their composure and reveal their true intentions without even any evidence.

But the more this happened, the more heartbroken he became.

He is usually kind to these people.

"Secretary Fan."

Fan Ming came back to his senses from his shock, "Boss Li."

"Notice to R&D staff that from today on, Chen Leilei has been removed from her position. Employees who have been humiliated by her in the past can seek free legal action from the group's legal department until they win the case."

Fan Ming nodded: "I understand. I'll let them know right away."

"Legal Department." Li Wenzhao's voice startled the lawyer in the Legal Department, "Mr. Li."

"Is it difficult to sue?"

The man shook his head slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes when he looked at Chen Leilei: "No problem, I will be responsible for this lawsuit personally."

Li Wenzhao stared at him for a few seconds, then sent a message to Jingyi on his phone: [Is there any problem with the Minister of Justice?]

The other side quickly replied: [No. Jian Lin is a very honest lawyer!]

[Every year, he would volunteer to litigate for the suffering free of charge, and had a very good reputation in the society. It was a pity that he was later framed and defamed by Shen Shubai, and his lawyer license was revoked. He never went to court again in his life...]

Li Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not deserted by his friends and relatives.

A total of eight ministerial-level figures attended this high-level meeting. As soon as the meeting began, two of them were left out. The rest felt insecure and began to wonder if they had been exposed.

Li Wenzhao glanced around and found that three of them were shaking the most. "Administrative Department, Production Department, Sales Department."

The three people who were called immediately turned pale.

Li Wenzhao sneered. There was no need for the butler to verify this. These idiots were stupid enough.

This time, there was no need for Li Wenzhao to give any instructions. Fan Ming called the security guard with a grim look and took the person out.

There were still two managers left in the meeting room. Looking across the empty tables and chairs, one man and one woman looked surprised, but their expressions showed no flaws and they were relatively calm.

If Li Wenzhao hadn't been able to hear Jing Yi's inner thoughts, he might have really let these two people go for the time being.

[Lu Shen from the Human Resources Department, I have a very deep impression of this person. This woman and the Purchasing Department Manager Song Censen are a pair of black-hearted headhunters! ]

[Lu Min is responsible for finding suitable candidates among the employees who failed or were fired by Li's company, and then reselling them to illegal companies at a price of 50,000 yuan per person to be used as slaves, sign unequal treaties, and be controlled by others for the rest of their lives]

[Song Censen from the purchasing department was in charge of transportation, using the resources and channels of Li's purchasing department, openly sending people into danger! ]

[Is this a criminal offense? On behalf of the country, I'll give you two ten big red crosses!!!]

Li Wenzhao looked grim: "..."

Just then Fan Ming knocked on the door, "Boss Li, Deputy Captain Shu is here."

Shu Bei walked into the meeting room with a righteous look on his face and said hello to Li Wenzhao: "Nice to meet you again, Mr. Li. Why are there so many criminals around you? After catching one batch, another batch comes. Our city bureau detention center can no longer accommodate them. If you hadn't reported it yourself, I would have suspected that you were the big boss behind these people."

Li Wenzhao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to cause any trouble to you either."

"This is what our police should do." Shu Bei said, "Our police have to thank you for the clues you provided. We will not cover up or protect anyone. Everyone is equal before the law. By the way, Director He asked me to bring you a message."

Li Wenzhao was stunned: "Director Congratulations?"

"Oh, I haven't told you yet." Shu Bei smiled and said, "Captain He has been promoted to deputy director of the branch. Today is the appointment ceremony."

Li Wenzhao congratulated him and asked, "What does Director He want to tell me?"

Shu Bei looked around and whispered, "He said, if it doesn't work, you can find a Bodhisattva to pray to. You have this evil spirit, and there are criminals all around you... I said this secretly, Director He is not a feudal superstitious person."

Li Wenzhao: "..."

Seeing Li Wenzhao chatting happily with a female police officer, Lu Shen and Song Censen looked at each other and stood up. "Boss Li, since you still have something to do, we will go back to work first."

"No need." Li Wenzhao said expressionlessly, "You two should just follow Officer Shu."

They both: "..."

Shu Bei frowned: "What's going on with these two?"

"Human trafficking."

Shu Bei was so shocked that he almost pulled out his gun: "Damn it!!! How many criminals are still hiding in your company? This is almost like a complete collection of criminal laws!"

Li Wenzhao: "..."

He doesn't want to do that, but all the criminals are targeting him!

Lu Shen was even more anxious: "Boss Li, are you kidding me?"

Song Censen also chimed in: "The way Manager Lu and I behave is obvious to everyone in the company. President Li, if you want to accuse us of human trafficking, do you have any evidence?"

Li Wenzhao said, "Yes."

He looked at Shu Bei: "Officer Shu, Secretary Fan will hand the evidence to you later."

Fan Ming: "..."

ah?

Upon hearing this, Lu Song's faces turned pale and they couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to leave this enclosed space immediately. However, the exit of the conference room was blocked by Shu Bei, and they had nowhere to escape.

Lu Shen panicked and revealed a little bit of the truth: "We are not trafficking people, they are all adults, and they are willing..."

"Shut up!" Song Censen roared.

Shu Bei's face suddenly turned cold: "What are you yelling about?! Is it louder than your voice? Come on, follow me to the police station, I'll let you yell to your heart's content."

Shu Bei said hello to Li Wenzhao and left with his men.

The conference room was left alone in silence.

The high-level meeting was going well. There were eight people present, but now only Jian Lin is left. The empty tables and chairs show the injustice of the heavenly punishment to the Li family.

If you don't know, you might think that Li's is going to go bankrupt.

No matter how powerful Li Wenzhao was, he couldn't help feeling a little sad at this moment. Being abandoned by everyone was not a pleasant feeling.

"Boss Li," Fan Ming said softly, "The board of directors has learned about what happened today, and they want you to give an explanation immediately."

"There's nothing to explain." Li Wenzhao said, "Just inform everyone of the facts."

"Then..." Fan Ming probed, "We laid off seven senior executives at once. What should we do next at Li's?"

Li Wenzhao rubbed his brows and said, "Choose a suitable person from the employees below, or you can select someone from the branch company. Give me a list tomorrow."

Fan Ming: "Okay."

The noisy crowd dispersed, and Li Wenzhao stayed alone for a while. The feeling of fear in his heart gradually faded away.

He untied his tie, let out a breath, and returned to the top floor.

·

Top floor office.

Jing Yi was alone, and he had a headache looking at hundreds of employee files.

When reading the novel, the author only focused on describing the important people around Li Wenzhao. Many cannon fodder characters were not described in detail, and he could only make a general outline.

After looking at several major departments, he was already a little tired.

Jing Yi stretched and felt thirsty, so he went to the water station and poured himself a glass of water. Before he could take a sip, his arm felt numb and sore, probably because he hadn't gotten the posture right and had a cramp.

Whoosh——

The cup in his hand slipped and shattered onto the ground.

【......】

Jing Yi stared at the fragments on the ground in silence.

In the novel, every blade of grass and every tree around the domineering president starts at six figures. How can the working people afford it?

[Is this month's salary enough for deduction? 】

【Life is not easy, the housekeeper sighed. 】

Jing Yi took a broom to sweep the floor, and some debris flew under the coffee table. The base made of mahogany was very low and the broom could not reach under it.

Jing Yi rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward to hold the table, spread his legs apart, and took a shaky horse stance. Then, with a push, his legs were forced to slowly split...

Jing Yi: "..."

Click, the office door lock was opened, and footsteps came in.

Jing Yi's heart skipped a beat and he leaned on the table and turned his head.

Li Wenzhao: "..."

Li Wenzhao was filled with sadness, but when he saw the young butler in such a state, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of joy.

God was so cruel to the Li family, fortunately he sent Jing Yi to him.

"What are you doing?"

Jing Yi: "Destroy the body and get rid of all traces."

Li Wenzhao:?

Jing Yi hid the broom behind him to block the water stains on the ground, but Li Wenzhao still saw the debris on the ground, "Did you get into trouble?"

Jing Yi shook his head awkwardly: "No."

Li Wenzhao chuckled, and the haze in his heart dissipated: "Then what is this?"

Jing Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "The water cup of the river god."

Li Wenzhao: "Hmm?"

Jing Yi quickly grabbed the two cups on the table and said, "Master, do you want this gold cup, this silver cup, or the broken cup on the ground?"

Li Wenzhao: "..."

Chapter 37 Empty Head

The emo mood disappeared in just a few words from the housekeeper.

Li Wenzhao walked over and stopped in front of Jingyi: "You still say you haven't caused any trouble."

Jing Yi lowered his head embarrassedly: "It's just a little accident."

"You have fewer accidents?"

Jing Yi was silenced by Li Wenzhao's ridicule. Oh no, the young master seemed really angry.

Jing Yi leaned on the table next to the water table, feeling guilty: "Sorry, I didn't mean it, Master, please deduct my extra money."

There was silence in the office for a moment.

Just as Jing Yi was thinking about how to beg for mercy in order to be forgiven, he heard Li Wenzhao sigh, "I'm not angry with you."

Jing Yi raised his head and saw Li Wenzhao looking at him. A strand of hair fell on his brow bone, and there were complex and obscure emotions in his eyes. The look he gave people was deep and hot.

here we go again.

The look a butcher gives when he sees his favorite product.

Jing Yi curled his fingertips when he looked at her: "Master, was the meeting not going well?"

"No, it went smoothly."

All the villains were taken down in one fell swoop. It couldn't be any smoother.

Jing Yi: "Why do you have that expression?"

Li Wenzhao was puzzled: "What's my expression?"

Jing Yi pursed his lips and said, "You look at me like a fat piglet, as if you are going to sell me off at any time..."

Li Wenzhao: "..."

The corners of his mouth moved, his brows and eyes were deep: "Don't worry, I won't sell it."

Jing Yi secretly glanced at Li Wenzhao and saw that he looked normal, with no fierceness in his eyes and brows. He was indeed not angry. It seemed that his wallet was saved for the time being.

But think about it.

He is not worth much, and this deal is not worthwhile at all. Li Wenzhao is a domineering boss and will not do business at a loss.

Jing Yi felt a little relieved.

Then Li Wenzhao suddenly said, "Not every family can afford to support a housekeeper who gets into trouble."

"..."

"Are you hungry?" Li Wenzhao checked the time and said, "Let me take you out for dinner."

Jing Yi came close to Li Wenzhao and was ready to make a move: "Does this count as a slap in the face followed by a sweet date?"

Li Wenzhao asked: "So do you still want to eat?"

Jing Yi immediately put aside his previous grudges and said, "I'm hungry, eat!"

Li Wenzhao: "Let's go then."

Jing Yi took two steps and came back to his senses.

Thinking of the broken cups of the River God brand on the ground, he quickly pushed Li Wenzhao back a little, "Master, don't come over, I'll clean the floor first."

Li Wenzhao wanted to say no, but the housekeeper had already picked up the tools and quickly cleaned up the debris on the ground.

·

The dining place is a quiet restaurant with private dining rooms, and the layout and decoration are very stylish.

This should not be the first time Li Wenzhao came here. He took Jingyi to the quiet box inside with ease.

The waiter quickly came over with the menu, "What would you like to eat?"

Li Wenzhao raised his eyes: "Give him some."

Jing Yi looked at this elegant and exquisite environment, not daring to stretch out his sinful hands. He looked at the waiter, then at Li Wenzhao: "Let's order the Young Master's dish."

How could he, a butler, order food before his employer?

"There aren't so many rules when you're out." Li Wenzhao took the menu and ordered a few of Jingyi's favorite flavors.

Jing Yi swallowed modestly and asked eagerly: "Is it too much?"

Li Wenzhao didn't want to expose his greed: "Not much, after all, it's still a long way from being a plump little piglet."

Jing Yi: "..."

He just said it, and indeed they wanted to fatten him up and sell him!

Then he would not hesitate: "Please give me another serving of fried fish fillet."

Jingyi had been craving for this dish for a long time. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the picture on the wall and was craving for it all the way.

Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes and chuckled.

The waiter left with the menu, and soon all the dishes were served.

Jing Yi stared at the delicious food on the table with bright eyes.

"Do you like fish so much?" Li Wenzhao noticed Jing Yi's gaze.

"I like it." Jing Yi said, "I've loved eating it since I was a kid."

After that, he generously shared the delicious food: "Young Master, please try it."

Li Wenzhao said: "Too many thorns."

Jing Yi said: "I looked at the size of the fish. This kind of fish shouldn't have many bones, right?"

Li Wenzhao was stunned: "Where did you see it?"

The butler didn't pass the kitchen all the way here. Does he have a double eye?

Jing Yi said seriously: "The picture on the wall."

Li Wenzhao:?

"Generally speaking, the bigger the fish, the more bones it has. The more bones it has, the less meat it has. The less meat it has, the smaller the fish is. So the bigger the fish, the smaller the fish is..." Jing Yi blinked in confusion.

[Wait...something seems wrong?]

Li Wenzhao made a sarcastic sound: "There are 8,521 people on the bus?"

Jing Yi: "..."

[I remembered it wrongly]

Li Wenzhao chuckled: "It doesn't matter if your head is empty, the key is to face the reality."

Jing Yi: "..."

After the intense meal, the two returned to the company.

Secretary Fan was anxiously looking for Li Wenzhao. When he saw the two of them coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss Li, you're back."

"What's up?"

Fan Ming quickly reported: "Several major shareholders of Li's suddenly came to the company and requested to convene an interim board meeting."

Li Wenzhao frowned. These department managers had been working in Li's company for a long time and must have accumulated a lot of connections. Just from what he knew, there were several board members who were his backers.

This is to plead for mercy to the people below.

It just so happens that he will take care of it today to save trouble later.

"Secretary Fan, notify all shareholders that a meeting will be held in the conference room in ten minutes."

Fan Ming: "Okay."

Jing Yi walked into the office: "Then should I stay?"

"Yes." Li Wenzhao said, "Don't run around if you have nothing to do. Shen Shubai has been very upset recently. He has been thinking about you all the time. It will be dangerous if you are alone. Do you understand?"

Jing Yiwen nodded and said, "Well, I'll wait for you in the office."

Li Wenzhao: "..."

He stared at her from a distance and said, "You should read more dictionaries when you have time."

Li Wenzhao went to a meeting.

But when Jing Yi turned around, he saw Secretary Fan put away his phone and was still standing there, with no intention of going with him.

"Secretary Fan." Jing Yi was curious: "Don't you need to go to the meeting?"

Fan Ming calmly stated: "It is not convenient for me to listen to the quarrels between leaders of this level."

Jing Yi: "......???"

Li Wenzhao was just holding a meeting, but how did Secretary Fan turn it into a heated argument?

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Fan Ming looking at his phone and sighing.

Jing Yi came over curiously: "What's wrong, Secretary Fan?"

"Zou Ting from Shen's next door." Fan Ming said with a little distress: "I don't know what has stimulated him recently. He found a bunch of messed up questions and sent me one every day, and he insisted that I answer it correctly."

"Butler Jing, you don't understand. I'm already tired enough from working every day, and he still plays this kind of low-level business game with me!"

Jing Yi leaned over to take a look, and his eyes suddenly widened.

It's incredible! Secretary Zou next door has transformed into a professional civil service exam lecturer and it looks like he's going to start a class on Secretary Fan's phone.

Jing Yi looked at their lengthy chat records with concern. It seemed that they had been doing this secretly for a long time. He was afraid that Secretary Fan would be stolen away. "Did you answer all these questions correctly?"

Hearing this, Fan Ming raised his chin, with a hint of pride: "I got one question wrong, and Zou Ting was so angry that he jumped up and down, hahaha."

Jing Yi: "..."

Well, this time he was not worried at all that Secretary Fan would change jobs. He felt that the simple and harmless environment of Li's was more suitable for the innocent Secretary Fan.

At this time, the phone vibrated again. Zou Ting sent several messages in a row, explaining the situation to Fan Ming seriously and even recording a video.

A clear and patient voice came out: "Secretary Fan, are you listening carefully? This is a basic question. I have explained it three times. Why do you still make the same mistake? Look at the last question, it's very simple, but you substituted the wrong formula again..."

Jing Yi was surprised: "Has he been coaching you like this?"

"Butler Jing, you call this coaching?" Fan Ming gritted his teeth and said, "He is clearly provoking me! Originally, we were just in opposing camps, but now it's different. After days of harassment, I have already regarded him as my mortal enemy."

"What mortal enemy?" A voice came from behind. Jing Yi turned his head and saw Li Ting yawning and walking in from the door. "What are you two whispering about together?"

Fan Ming stood up straight and said respectfully, "Nothing, Third Master, just chatting."

"Oh, I thought I caught an office romance." Li Ting said with disappointment.

Jing Yi: "..."

Fan Ming immediately took a big step back: "Third Master, you substituted the wrong formula."

Jing Yi turned his head away: "He didn't even read the question, right?"

Li Ting: "..."

What were they saying? I couldn't understand a word.

He yawned and moved to Li Wenzhao's seat and sat down. There was a layer of blue circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he did not sleep well the night before.

"Third Young Master." Secretary Fan reminded: "Next to your office is a lounge specially prepared for you. The bedding is brand new and you can rest at any time."

"No need." Li Ting yawned again and said vaguely, "It's not good to sleep in the company all day. We should show up appropriately."

He tilted his head: "Where's my brother?"

Fan Ming said: "Let's have a meeting in the conference room."

Li Ting rubbed his face and said, "It's just right. He's not here. I'll borrow Butler Jing for a while."

Jing Yi:?

He is not an object, how can he be borrowed and lent?

Fan Ming narrowed his eyes warily, looked at Jing Yi, and said, "I'm afraid not."

Li Ting said in a slightly cold tone: "What did you say?"

Fan Ming said nonsense under pressure: "The eldest young master drew a circle before leaving and told Butler Jing not to go out."

Jing Yi: "..."

Li Ting: "..."

He sneered, "Secretary Fan, stop messing around with Butler Jing in the future."

Even the words sound crazy.

Li Ting's phone dinged and he looked at it for a while. Shock and joy burst out from his eyes, and even the blue color in his eyes faded. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Big brother, come back and tell him."

Fan Ming: "Okay, Third Master."

As soon as he turned around, Butler Jing pursed his lips and stared at him expressionlessly: "Secretary Fan, am I a Tang Monk in your eyes?"

"No." Secretary Fan pushed his glasses up: "My duty is to protect every piece of Mr. Li's property."

Jing Yi: "..."

Secretary Fan, a secretary who got confused while doing his homework.

Chapter 38 I am useful

Jing Yi felt that Secretary Fan must have been tortured by Zou Ting next door and became stupid. He could hardly understand what he said.

"Secretary Fan." Jing Yi patted his shoulder sympathetically: "You should not do the questions with Secretary Zou in the future."

Fan Ming keenly heard a hint of deep meaning from Jing Yi's tone: "Why?"

Jing Yi said solemnly: "I'm afraid he will lose hope in life."

Fan Ming: "..."

At this moment, Fan Ming's phone vibrated again. Zou Ting sent another message: [I think you are not suitable for the civil service exam.]

Jing Yi took a quick glance at the content and felt that Zou Ting had finally come to his senses, so he decided not to try to persuade Secretary Fan, who was such a stubborn person.

Fan Ming was confused and shocked, and buried his head in typing: "So this is the legendary civil service exam question."

Jing Yi: "..."

The phone vibrated again.

Jing Yi came over curiously: "What did Secretary Zou say?"

Fan Ming: "He said, click, click, click, click."

Jing Yi: "..."

Fan Ming still had a lot of work to do, and he was going to get busy after tidying up the office. Jing Yi had nothing to do, so he took a step closer to Fan Ming and said in a sociable voice: "Secretary Fan, do you need any help?"

At work, Fan Ming is no longer an irritating student. He rolled his glasses and said seriously, "Butler Jing, have you forgotten what task Mr. Li assigned you before he left?"

Jing Yi fell into reminiscence: "...Is there?"

A light flashed across Fan Ming's eyes: "You promised CEO Li to stay in the office and study."

Jing Yi: "..."

Secretary Fan, you can't even answer the civil service exam questions yourself, and you even use the boomerang he threw to stab back.

·

The temporary board meeting lasted until almost the end of the working day, and Li Wenzhao returned to the office with a tired face.

His desk was tidy. On the small table next to him, Jing Yi Haitao was lying on the desk, staring at a four-character dictionary, with his chin resting on the back of his hand.

Pretty good.

Li Wenzhao took off his coat and casually put it on the back of the chair: "How do you think it looks?"

Jing Yi was dying: "I am about to drown in the ocean of knowledge."

Li Wenzhao glanced at the bottom page of the dictionary and couldn't help but remind him: "You've only seen the third page."

Jing Yi whispered: "Three pages of knowledge are enough to overwhelm me."

He is a little piece of shit.

A clear-minded college student who doesn't want to study or go to work. He just wants to lie down peacefully and wait for money to fall from the sky.

Li Wenzhao heard the inner voice: "..."

Forget it, I won't force the little housekeeper to be studious and motivated. He is quite likable now as he is lively and cute.

Li Wenzhao put the dictionary on the bookshelf.

There was no need to open the obscure dictionary. Jing Yi immediately perked up. He took out the personnel information and flipped through it for a while. He couldn't help but look up at the clock on the wall.

However, he was caught after just one look: "Look, how many minutes and seconds are left before the end of the shift?"

Jing Yi shook his head and said, "No, I just want to experience what it means to be so fleeting."

"..."

The following time passed in Li Wenzhao's serious work attitude.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jingyi started packing on time.

Turning around, I saw Li Wenzhao still sitting upright in the chair, clicking with the mouse in his hand.

"Master, do you have any unfinished work?"

Li Wenzhao said calmly: "Not really, I'm confirming tomorrow's schedule with Secretary Fan."

Jing Yi was curious: "What itinerary?"

"On a business trip." Li Wenzhao raised his eyes: "You can go with me."

·

After confirming the itinerary, the two went off work together.

It was rush hour, and the staff elevator was packed with people. Jing Yi, with the domineering CEO's unique aura, went down smoothly all the way to the first floor.

When going out, Jing Yi saw an incredible person at the gate of Li's company and his eyes were shocked.

"What's wrong?" Li Wenzhao stopped.

"Secretary Zou from next door." Jing Yi looked outside the door: "Why is he here?"

Zou Ting also saw Jing Yi, his eyes suddenly filled with joy, and he went against the current among the group of office workers and walked towards this side.

Jing Yi looked at the other person in confusion.

...Why did he feel that Secretary Zou was here to see him?

As he thought about it, a sarcastic laugh came from above his head: "Heh, medium rare?"

Jing Yi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe five points now."

He and Secretary Zou had only met a few times, and they would chat occasionally on the phone, so their friendship was not deep.

Li Wenzhao sneered: "Oh, you are still in contact privately."

Jing Yi: "..."

What was the tone of the eldest young master? Did he suspect that he had defected to the Shen family and was going to be a traitor and stab the Li family?

I assure you! He doesn't have any!

A shadow fell in front of him: "Assistant Jing."

"Secretary Zou."

Jing Yi turned his head, estimated the dangerous distance between him and Zou Ting, and took a big step to get close to Li Wenzhao, almost sticking to him.

[How about this? Does this prove my loyalty to the Li family? ]

Li Wenzhao laughed lightly.

Zou Ting: "......?"

He didn't quite understand Jing Yi's mode of action, but he was used to it. The employees of Li's company were just like Secretary Fan, with a bit of the same stupidity: "Please help me pass this to Secretary Fan of your company."

Several question marks slowly appeared above Jing Yi's head: "What is this?"

"I compiled the secret manual myself." Zou Ting said in a gentle manner, "He will definitely make progress after reading it."

Thinking of Fan Ming's proud expression today when he got the questions wrong, Jing Yi was speechless: "You haven't given up on him yet?"

Zou Ting said calmly: "As a teacher, I will not give up any of my students, because..."

Jing Yi responded fluently: "Once a teacher, always a father?"

Zou Ting slid away with a speechless look.

"..."

Li Wenzhao looked up at him and asked, "Does Secretary Fan know that you lowered his rank in public?"

Jing Yi lowered her eyes shyly: "So this is a secret between the two of us."

Li Wenzhao straightened his body and said, "I refuse to go along with the corrupt people."

Jing Yi stood there, his eyes slightly straight.

There was no irony, no ridicule, and no implicit criticism. What happened to the young master?

Did you go crazy during the meeting?

Somehow, he suddenly remembered Li Wenzhao's two strange looks from before, and his heart skipped a beat.

Jing Yi quietly moved over and asked tentatively, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

Li Wenzhao's gloomy and cold face finally revealed a trace of clarity, and his brows were tightly knitted: "Butler Jing, which Wolong taught you Chinese?"

Jing Yi said shyly: "Master, you are too kind. I mainly rely on spiritual comprehension."

"..."

A familiar cold sneer came from above my head.

[Yes, that's the feeling.]

[The young master has been a little too kind these past two days. I'm not used to it anymore.]

"..."

Crazy housekeeper.

·

When they returned to the Li family's house, it was still light outside. Li Mingzhi and Li Ting were noisily choosing clothes in the living room. One corner of the living room was filled with staff members who came to deliver luxury goods.

"Third brother, this one looks good." Li Mingzhi recommended happily: "A black sequined jacket, crepe trousers and a silk twill shirt, you will look super handsome."

Li Ting took it and compared it in front of himself: "This is a high-end dress, isn't it too high-profile?"

"What's the big deal?" Li Mingzhi pouted, "You've been apart for many years, and you're still passionate about each other. You definitely need to dress up properly."

"..."

Li Ting threw a silk scarf on his younger brother's head: "What nonsense are you talking about, little kid?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Li Mingzhi threw the scarf aside: "Third brother, you haven't gotten married yet, aren't you just waiting for her to come back? Now the opportunity has come, you must seize it."

Li Ting smiled and suddenly remembered something: "Keep your voice down, your second brother is being emo, don't let the pink bubbles float over there."

In a corner of the living room, Li Xu sat expressionlessly on the sofa with a book on his legs. His brows were stained with sorrow and the corners of his mouth were straight. He seemed to be in a different dimension from Li Ting, who was bubbling all over.

He raised his eyes and thought of Xie Yun who had blocked him through multiple channels. His expression suddenly became even darker, and he exuded a dark aura of frustration.

When Jing Yi and Li Wenzhao returned home, they saw this scene of division.

"Third brother." Li Wenzhao stepped forward: "You left three hours early today just to come back and torture yourself?"

"Brother, this is not Brother Three's fault. The person he likes has returned from abroad." Before Li Ting could speak, Li Mingzhi explained, "They made an appointment to have dinner together tonight."

[The person you like...? ]

[Here it comes, the third young master's death love is late but it has arrived! 】

The three people who were talking shut up collectively.

Listen quietly to the housekeeper's chatter.

Jing Yi looked at Li Ting. According to the original story line, Li Ting was also a love-brained man, and the ending was not much different from Li Xu, with a complete family.

However, the original text did not describe in detail the identity and origin of Li Ting's lover, so Jing Yi was not sure whether now was the right time for her to appear.

[But seeing how obsessed Li Ting is... I guess he's not far from being in love. The four brothers of President Li don't talk to anyone who isn't obsessed, doesn't talk to anyone who isn't in love, and doesn't talk to anyone who isn't a liar. You're really good at choosing.]

Four brothers: "..." What a good scolding.

[It's really like one wave after another, it makes me want to sing]

[A new storm has appeared. How can I stand still? I will travel through time and space and do my best to come to you~~~]

Four people: "..."

Once Jing Yi starts discussing the plot, he will be immersed in his own thoughts. During this short while, he sorted out the plot related to Li Ting and did not notice the brothers' stagnant movements at all.

Li Mingzhi looked at Li Ting stupidly, and said in an unbelievable voice: "Third brother, it turns out that you are also in love."

Li Xu in the corner slowly raised his head, with surprise and joy in his eyes...

Li Ting's face suddenly turned dark: "...Bullshit."

Butler Jing must be talking nonsense. How could two people who are so love-minded live in the same family?

Is there any love gene disease in their family?

Besides, he knew his lover well, she was pure and kind. She had been self-reliant in foreign countries for many years, and had suffered so much. Butler Jing knew nothing, but he relied on a little ability of unknown origin to throw dirty water on others with just a few words.

Li Ting thought with gritted teeth.

He will prove everything to Butler Jing and prove his lover's innocence.

"Butler Jing, come with me to pick someone up later." Li Ting said.

Jing Yi came back to his senses from the plot: "Me?"

Li Ting raised his eyebrows: "Of course, don't you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, there is..." Jing Yi hesitated.

Li Ting interrupted him: "Then why are you hesitating? Are you like those novice drivers on the Internet who don't know how to start?"

"Yes." Jing Yi approached Li Wenzhao nervously: "But I started with a catapult."

[When I was taking the driver's license test, I drove away five instructors, was blacklisted by three driving schools, and paid the registration agency and the traffic management bureau four years of registration fees before I barely passed. ]

"............"

Li Ting immediately took a big step back.

The road killer Jing Guanjia, anyone who uses him will die.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself." Li Ting changed his mind.

Jing Yi nodded obediently: "Okay."

"Butler Jing." Li Ting raised his eyebrows in displeasure, looking for trouble: "Is Big Brother too good to you?"

Jing Yi blinked, not understanding the sudden change of topic: "What?"

Li Ting smiled sinisterly: "Judging from your mental state, it seems that you have not been tortured by your superiors."

Jing Yi: "!"

[The young master doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to listen]

Jing Yi was so anxious that he took a small step back, half of his body hiding behind Li Wenzhao, and did not forget to offer a fresh flattery: "The eldest young master is a good person, and he does not discriminate between superiors and subordinates."

Jing Yi was on high alert, grabbing Li Wenzhao's sleeves and making two buns. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, and his fingers trembled slightly as he spoke. Li Wenzhao just turned his head and looked at him quietly.

"Oh, you're flattering me, big brother."

Li Ting only now realized that Butler Jing seemed to be easy to bully. He kept throwing car keys to him and smiling like a cunning fox: "Are you afraid that Big Brother will find out that you are useless?"

Jing Yi pouted: "I'm very useful."

Li Ting laughed maliciously: "Aunt Fang has cooking skills, Secretary Fan has professional skills, what do you have?"

Jing Yi thought about it, but couldn't think of anything he had accomplished for a moment. After a long pause, he whispered, "I have the blessing of the Bodhisattva."

【Can help the Li family resolve the crisis. 】

Li Ting: "..."

Li Ting choked and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. He wanted to say something, but Li Wenzhao stepped forward and warned him, "Third brother."

As soon as Li Wenzhao opened his mouth, he suppressed Li Laosan's evil taste.

"Tsk, meaningless." Li Ting tossed the car keys twice and walked away angrily.

Saying that I am love-brained will scare you to tears!

·

The next day, Jing Yi woke up and washed, ate, and yawned all the time while sleepwalking. As soon as he went out, his face was covered with cold rain.

It's raining in the capital.

Jing Yi's chaotic mind cleared up a little. When he walked into the restaurant, Li Wenzhao was sitting at the main seat with his back to him. He had changed into a formal and rigorous iron-gray suit and looked down at today's stock market, as if the dining table was a desk.

"Young Master." There was no one around, Jing Yi yawned wantonly: "When are we leaving?"

Li Wenzhao raised his eyes and asked back: "You are the assistant and I am the assistant?"

A gust of wind blew in from the door, and Jing Yi shuddered: "I'm the housekeeper."

"..."

Li Wenzhao saw that he couldn't help shaking, as if he was in vibration mode: "It's getting colder today, wear more clothes."

Jing Yi sat down and ate a bun: "I put on a thin sweater, but it's cold in the wind."

Li Wenzhao looked at his slightly thin formal suit and said, "You don't have to dress so formally."

"I have a meeting with a partner today, so it would be inappropriate for me to wear a sweater outside. Anyway, there is heating in the room, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

At eight o'clock in the morning, Fan Ming drove the car to the door of Li's house. All the information and documents were ready.

Jing Yi watched Fan Ming start smoothly, turn, turn on the wipers, and turn on the lights for use in rainy and foggy weather. The transitions between the several actions were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Jing Yi couldn't help but move closer to the front seat: "Secretary Fan, how many times did you take the driving test?"

Fan Ming replied: "Once."

Jing Yi didn't believe it, so he leaned on the seat and asked, "Is it once for each subject?"

Fan Ming: "Of course."

Jing Yi shrank back: "Then you are really a genius."

They are not from the same world.

Fan Ming: "?"

Seeing the butler pursed his lips and retracted, Li Wenzhao became interested and glanced at him: "You are so interested, how many times did you take the exam?"

Jing Yi turned his head with sharp eyes.

【Only ten times.】

Li Wenzhao: "..."

What a small area.

·

On this business trip, Li Wenzhao was going to meet the owner of a high-end hotel, and the meeting place was a five-star hotel owned by the other party.

The boss greeted them personally and invited the three of them into the VIP reception room.

This hotel is decorated in traditional Chinese style, blending it with a streamlined modern style. There are a few purple bamboos planted by the corridor, an embroidered screen in the hall, and a plum blossom inserted diagonally among the simple flowers.

Both parties were very enthusiastic about the cooperation, and soon entered into detailed discussions after sitting down. During the introduction, Jing Yi noticed that the boss's name did not appear in the original text, so it seemed that it was not a big pit, and he could contact him with confidence.

Li Wenzhao and Fan Ming devoted themselves to their work. This time, Li Wenzhao wanted to cooperate with the hotel owner to develop a resort, and they had detailed communication from site selection to construction.

Jing Yi couldn't get a word in, so he just quietly acted as a mascot. The window of the VIP room was half open, and when the wind blew, he fluttered and shivered quietly.

Li Wenzhao was having a detailed conversation with the other party and stopped by twice in the middle.

Fan Ming was very tactful and quietly closed the window while pouring the tea.

Jing Yi sipped the warm tea and cast a grateful glance at Secretary Fan: Thank you, Secretary Fan.

Fan Ming touched his glasses and nodded: It's my duty to help the boss solve his problems.

Jing Yi smiled with relief: I'm glad you understand what I mean.

Fan Ming also nodded: I'm glad you understand what I mean.

The two of them sat down in their respective seats, feeling contented and smiling.

·

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they finished talking. The hotel owner wanted to treat them to a meal, but Li Wenzhao declined and agreed to celebrate tomorrow after looking at the site selection.

The other party did not insist and personally sent them to the room upstairs that had been booked in advance.

"Boss Li, this is your room." The hotel owner handed out room cards: "This is the room for the two assistants."

Jing Yi took the room card, found the room and swiped it, but it didn't open.

The boss uttered a sigh, and only realized what was happening after the assistant reminded him: "I'm sorry, Assistant Jing, this room has been temporarily repaired. I'll arrange a new one for you, but this room type is no longer available, so you'll have to stay downstairs."

There is no way a room in a five-star hotel can be considered uncomfortably furnished.

Jing Yi nodded and was about to agree when Li Wenzhao said, "Don't bother Boss Zhao. He lives with me."

Boss Zhao was stunned for a moment, then watched Li Wenzhao open the door and bring someone in.

"Your President Li is really approachable."

Fan Ming's glasses flashed and he smiled softly: "Boss Li is always like this."

·

Insert the room card and the VIP suite will appear before you.

Jing Yi looked around at the exquisite decorations and ornaments, and said excitedly: "Master, we are going to live together for another night."

Li Wenzhao couldn't ignore his choking words, and his heart skipped a beat. "Don't talk nonsense."

Jing Yi turned his head: "Huh?"

Li Wenzhao's eyebrows were serious and his tone was calm: "You call this living together?"

"yes."

"Shouldn't cohabitation mean living in the same room?"

Jing Yibi: "That kind of thing is two people on one bed. We are much purer than them. We each have our own bed."

"..."

After a short rest in the room, when it was time for dinner, Li Wenzhao politely declined the dinner arranged by Boss Zhao and took Jingyi to the restaurant downstairs.

"Isn't Secretary Fan coming?" Jing Yi looked around curiously.

Li Wenzhao said, "He ordered food to be delivered to his room and is working on a report tonight."

Jing Yi sympathized: "Then isn't it a bad idea for us to eat and drink like crazy here?"

Li Wenzhao glanced over and asked, "Where are they?"

Jing Yi smiled reservedly: "Oh, I'm the only one who eats and drinks a lot."

The dinner was relatively light, but the ingredients were fresh and the soup was especially delicious. It was worthy of being a five-star hotel. Jing Yi ate two large bowls of soup with a smile.

After the meal, Li Wenzhao went to pay the bill, and Jingyi sat there and finished the soup in the bowl.

The layout of the hotel restaurant was as exquisite as the restaurants outside. It was dinner time and there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Jing Yi was worried that he would occupy the seat for a long time and affect other people's meals, so he ate faster.

After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Jing Yi pursed his lips contentedly. Just as he was about to leave, a fragrant cake dessert was placed in front of him.

Jing Yi quickly reminded: "I didn't order anything."

The waiter smiled gently and said, "This is from the guest at table 9. He wants to invite you to watch a movie with him tonight."

Jing Yi looked over suspiciously and saw a man in casual clothes sitting at the dining table by the window nodding at him. He had handsome features, calm charm, and his upturned eyes revealed a seductive charm.

Jing Yi turned his head back: "I'm full, please help me return it."

The waiter glanced into the distance and said with embarrassment: "Sorry, desserts cannot be returned."

Jing Yi was in a dilemma.

Although he likes cakes and desserts, he is still very wary of things of unknown origin.

Just as he was trying to find a reason to refuse, he heard familiar footsteps behind him: "Are you still not full?"

"I'm full."

Li Wenzhao looked at the dessert on the table: "What is this?"

Jing Yi glanced at the window: "It was sent by a kind person. I can't eat it anymore, but the waiter said it can't be returned."

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows and cast a cold gaze on the waiter's face, "When did your hotel start forcing people to buy and sell things?"

The waiter's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly explained, "It's not for sale, it's for gift."

Li Wenzhao was very cold: "Is it reasonable to send it by force?"

The waiter couldn't stand it anymore, so he apologized and left with the dessert. The man who delivered the dessert didn't even look at this side, he drank his coffee and got up and left.

Jing Yi followed Li Wenzhao out of the restaurant and got on the elevator. In the strange atmosphere, he spoke carefully: "Master, are you angry?"

【It's scary not to say a word. 】

Li Wenzhao asked, "Why am I angry?"

Jing Yi boldly speculated: "The hotel forced the sale."

"..." Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes and glanced at him: "I wouldn't get angry about this kind of thing."

"Then what are you angry about?"

Li Wenzhao took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you just refuse something when someone you don't know gives you something?"

"I was very straightforward. It was mainly because the waiter wouldn't let me return it."

The elevator car carried the two of them steadily upwards. When they reached the floor, Jing Yi followed Li Wenzhao out and stepped on the soft carpet.

He didn't understand why Li Wenzhao stopped talking again, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood. The carpet under his feet cast a mixture of light and shadow, and he kept his head down and followed closely.

When they turned the corner, Li Wenzhao suddenly stopped. Jing Yi didn't check and almost fell on his face again. He quickly stepped back and stood still.

"Don't eat anything given by strangers. This is written in elementary school textbooks."

Jing Yi innocently said: "I really don't want to eat."

"Be on guard against strangers. You don't know what they are thinking. They might sell you out without you even knowing it."

Jing Yi carefully observed Li Wenzhao's expression and guessed, "Could he be a butcher?"

"......."

Li Wenzhao paused.

Chapter 39 Tremor

Li Wenzhao seemed to be speechless, his eyes fixed on Jing Yi's face, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Jing Yi felt guilty under such gazes, and his eyes were darting around.

[This is from the guest at table 9. He wants to invite you to watch a movie together tonight]

Somehow, Jing Yi suddenly remembered the waiter's words.

He blinked and stood there like Li Wenzhao.

"..."

"Have you figured it out?" Li Wenzhao looked at his suddenly changed expression and knew that the young butler had figured it out himself. Fortunately, he was not too stupid.

"Yeah." Jing Yi pursed his lips and said bluntly: "He wants to pick me up, right?"

Thank God, the young housekeeper finally got it.

Li Wenzhao hummed: "What do you think?"

Jing Yi shook his head: "I dare not think about it."

"..."

Jing Yi really couldn't imagine that, as a part of a classic old romance novel, the main and supporting characters all point their arrows to the world of the opposite sex, how dare you, a nameless passerby, come to love the people around the villain? You are really brave!

Did you know you have taken the wrong channel?

Li Wenzhao was almost stunned by the butler's wandering thoughts, and sneered lightly with an expressionless face.

Jing Yi raised his eyes.

Li Wenzhao's eyes were a little gloomy. The tall and slender figure of the other person was facing away from the light above his head. He looked broad-shouldered and straight-backed, and his face was a little unclear.

In such a quiet corridor, Jing Yi became even more panicked and pulled Li Wenzhao, "Master, don't have that expression. You look like a little black man in anime who wants to kill someone to silence them."

"..."

"I have done nothing wrong, so why are you afraid of killing someone to silence them?"

Jing Yibi: "Perverts don't choose their targets when they kill people."

Realizing that he had also followed Jing Yi's thoughts and gone astray, Li Wenzhao frowned and restrainedly closed his mouth.

Jing Yi pulled Li Wenzhao and quickly turned around. Their eyes met in the air for two seconds: "So, the young master came back to save me just now?"

Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him. It was indeed intentional, but the purpose was not simple.

He said softly: "Yeah."

Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I have to thank the eldest master."

Li Wenzhao looked at him: "Don't you like that person?"

"Just a stranger." Jing Yi frowned: "How can you say I like him or not?"

[The only thing that I couldn't help but love after just one look was the RMB! 】

Li Wenzhao: "..."

He was overthinking it. Given the degree to which the butler had strayed, even a scumbag in love would be useless, and no one could pry him away for the time being.

Jing Yi wanted to continue, but Li Wenzhao suddenly turned around and walked away. Jing Yi quickly chased after him: "Young Master? Don't you want to chat anymore?"

He always felt that Li Wenzhao seemed to have something left to say.

"Let's not talk anymore." Li Wenzhao didn't even turn his head.

"Why."

Li Wenzhao sighed softly: "You've gone too far off track."

"......???"

Jing Yi lowered his head and looked at his feet.

Li Wenzhao: "..."

·

Li Wenzhao swiped his card to open the door and went straight into the master bedroom.

The suite that Boss Zhao arranged for me was of very high specifications. The second bedroom was even larger than the one I stayed in during my last business trip to Shengshi. It also had an independent bathroom with a large bathtub with a night view.

Jing Yi went in and soaked for a while. His skin felt so warm that he almost melted before he climbed onto the bed.

Lying on the comfortable bed, Jing Yi closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep tonight. After tossing and turning for a while while making pancakes, he remembered that he had something unfinished.

He stood up and took out his cell phone: [Is Secretary Fan asleep?]

[Fan Ming]: Butler Jing, please tell me the situation first so that I can decide whether to sleep or not.

[Your uncle Jing]: ...

[Your Uncle Jing]: I wanted to say that Secretary Zou asked me to bring you something, but I seem to have forgotten to give it to you.

[Fan Ming]: What is that? [Beware of pushing glasses.jpg]

[Your Uncle Jing]: A secret book for taking the civil service exam.

[Fan Ming]: ...

[Fan Ming]: Is he sick? I'm not taking the exam, why does he have to tutor me?

Jing Yi thought for a moment: [Maybe he wants to find some confidence in you. (evil smile.jpg)]

[Fan Ming]: ...

In the room opposite, Fan Ming had just finished washing up and was looking at the chat interface when he suddenly curled his lips.

He lay on the bed, stretched his limbs comfortably, and sent a message to Jingyi.

[Butler Jing, is Boss Li asleep?]

Jing Yi was stunned and was about to say that he didn't know, but he was worried that Fan Ming had something to report, so he closed his mouth and raised his voice in his heart: [Master, are you asleep? ]

Li Wenzhao, who was lying peacefully on the bed and about to fall asleep, opened his eyes: "..."

【Young Master? 】

Li Wenzhao turned on the bedside lamp and took out his cell phone: [What are you doing?]

Jing Yi turned around and sent a message to Fan Ming.

[Fan Ming]: Butler Jing, Mr. Li has a habit of needing a glass of milk before going to bed to help him sleep, otherwise he will easily suffer from insomnia after changing places. I am working on a report, so please, Butler Jing, send it to him.

Jing Yi narrowed his eyes alertly: [Secretary Fan, you'd better not fool me.]

He has been in the Li family for so long, how come he has never heard of this custom?

[Fan Ming]: I swear on Secretary Zou's IQ, 24K is pure!

"..."

·

Li Wenzhao turned on the light, sat up, listened to the housekeeper next door mumbling, and stared at his phone for a long time, but Jingyi didn't send any more messages.

"..."

Crazy little housekeeper, now he starts teasing his boss in the middle of the night.

Li Wenzhao made a note in his heart, put down his phone, turned off the lights, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Ding ding ding.

There was a soft scratching sound at the door outside the room.

Li Wenzhao opened his eyes again: "..."

Jing Yi stood outside the door, holding a glass of milk that he had just taken out of the refrigerator, and knocked on the door gently: [Master, I'm here, open the door]

The door panel opened in the next second.

The little housekeeper, wearing a clean white bathrobe and soaking herself till she looked rosy and tender, came to the door herself.

The hotel's bathrobes are one size fits all, and it fits Li Wenzhao well, but it's a bit too big for Jingyi. The neckline is skewed, revealing a large area of ​​delicate, pink skin.

"you......"

Before Li Wenzhao could say anything, the butler came in, looking for something in his hands, holding a cup of unknown liquid: "Make way, it's going to overflow."

Li Wenzhao: "..."

The master bedroom was much larger than Jing Yi's second bedroom, and the layout was more sophisticated. Jing Yi glanced at the position of the bed and placed the milk on the bedside table like a bomb: "Master, drink the milk before going to sleep."

Li Wenzhao looked at his straight, white calves under his bathrobe, his eyes darkening: "You came to knock on the door just to deliver milk?"

"Yeah." Jing Yi nodded: "It's a sleep aid. Drink it quickly so you can sleep well at night."

Li Wenzhao, who was awakened, said: "..."

Jing Yi tilted his head and looked at him for a while: "Or do you want to drink something hot? I'll go get it."

Li Wenzhao stopped him and lowered his voice a few degrees: "No, this one will do."

Jing Yi stopped and looked at him strangely.

Li Wenzhao: "What's wrong?"

"Do you have a cold? Why is your throat hoarse?" Jing Yi ran over, stood on tiptoe, raised his hand and touched Li Wenzhao's forehead.

The large bathrobe tilted with his movements...

Li Wenzhao: "..."

"It seems a little hot, young master, you seem to be hot..."

"go out."

Before Jing Yi could finish his words, Li Wenzhao grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pushed him out of the room.

The door slammed behind him.

Jing Yi: "......?"

Before Jingyi had time to think about what Li Wenzhao meant, the phone in his bathrobe vibrated.

[Fan Ming]: Butler Jing, has the milk been delivered?

Jing Yi typed blankly: [I sent it, but the young master seems to be a little strange.]

[Fan Ming]: What's wrong?

[Your Uncle Jing]: He seems to have become red and warm.

[Fan Ming]: ...

·

The next morning, Jing Yi went out sleepwalking and saw Li Wenzhao had already gotten up and was tying his tie in front of the mirror.

Jing Yi came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Li Wenzhao exerted force with his hands, and the tie knot almost got stuck on his Adam's apple.

He turned around and looked at the boy next to him, "What's good?"

Jing Yi: "You seemed to have a fever last night. As the housekeeper, I should go out and buy medicine for you right away."

"..." Li Wenzhao took a deep breath: "No need."

Jing Yi nodded and floated away: "I think it's fine."

"..."

After they changed their clothes, Jing Yi helped carry the boss' briefcase. Seeing that Li Wenzhao was still on the phone, he opened the door and waited.

However, just as the door opened, Jing Yi saw a gap in the room opposite, and Fan Ming, who had not been seen all night, was looking over here through the gap.

Fan Ming: |.0)

Jingyi: (0.|

"Secretary Fan, what are you doing?" Jing Yi asked, revealing half of his face.

Fan Ming said: "I'm waiting for President Li to notify me that I won't be working today."

That's a nice thought. Jing Yi said, "You earn so much, how can you always think about resting?"

Fan Ming smiled and said, "Yes, I should learn from Butler Jing."

The door shook, and Jing Yi raised his hand to hold it: "Secretary Fan, can we both show our faces openly? It's tiring to chat like this."

"..."

Fan Ming opened the door, and after he had acted furtively, he became as serious as if possessed by a ghost: "Morning, Butler Jing."

Jing Yi opened the door and went out carrying a heavy briefcase: "Good morning, Secretary Fan."

When Fan Ming saw the thing in his hand, he quickly took it and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work, Butler Jing. I'll take this."

"?" Jing Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Secretary Fan, after not seeing you for one night, you seem to have a different face."

Fan Ming said: "Isn't he much kinder?"

Jing Yi stated seriously: "It's the face of a villain who has succeeded."

After a pause, he stared at Fan Ming's face and added carefully: "He is still a villain who sneaked around and stabbed me in the back, and succeeded."

Fan Ming: "..."

Li Wenzhao came out of the room with a blank expression on his face. "What backstabbing? Who is the villain?"

Fan Ming said: "I was joking with Butler Jing."

Li Wenzhao thought of the glass of milk of unknown origin last night, and his eyes fell on Fan Ming: "You like to joke so much, I will also play a joke on you when the salary is paid?"

"..." Fan Ming paused: "Boss Li, I can apologize."

·

The time for the field inspection agreed with Boss Zhao was nine o'clock, and the hotel sent a car to take Li Wenzhao and the other two to the suburbs.

The resort needs to be quiet, have beautiful scenery, and be large enough to facilitate the construction of all leisure and entertainment facilities and landscapes. Taking all factors into consideration, only the suburbs can accommodate such an area.

After an hour's drive, they arrived at their destination.

"Boss Li." Boss Zhao arrived a few minutes earlier and got out of the car to shake hands with Li Wenzhao. "How is this place? It's close to the national road and there's a highway next to it. We don't need to worry about transportation."

This place is picturesque with green mountains and clear waters. The air is fresh and natural after the rain, and there is mist rising from the mountains and forests. The nearby residential buildings are also relatively short, giving it a sense of simplicity that is detached from the high-tech city center.

Li Wenzhao nodded: "Yes, it is good, the scenery is beautiful, the air is good, and it is suitable as a holiday and leisure place, but if it is over-sculpted, it will lose its fresh and natural beauty."

"That's right." Boss Zhao said excitedly, "This is also an important reason why I want to cooperate with you. I have met many partners before, and the solutions they proposed are all large-scale development, which is very destructive to the environment. Only you, Boss Li, agree with me."

The two people had the same ideas, which created a different spark, and they chatted for two hours.

"Butler Jing."

Jing Yi was looking at the scenery in the distance. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Huh?"

"Are you tired?" Fan Ming said, "If you are tired, you can go wait in the car."

Jing Yi felt that Fan Ming looked down upon him: "Secretary Fan, if you want to rest, go by yourself. President Li won't blame you."

Fan Ming: "..."

Dark clouds gathered in the sky and it seemed like it was going to rain again. Jing Yi turned around and wanted to get an umbrella from the car.

On the road, a bicycle came wobbling by. The rider was a boy, and there was a girl sitting on the back seat. The two were chatting and laughing tenderly.

A luxury car drove past behind him, and the boy looked at it with envy.

"Butler Jing, what would you choose, sitting on a bicycle and laughing or sitting in a BMW and crying?"

Fan Ming came over at some point and asked Jing Yi when he saw this.

Jing Yi turned his head to look at him, his eyes looking at him as if he was a fool: "In this kind of weather, anyone sitting on the back of a bicycle will have a hideous look on their face and won't be able to smile, Secretary Fan."

Fan Ming: "..."

·

Li Wenzhao and Boss Zhao finalized the preliminary cooperation intention and agreed to sign the contract after returning to the city. The resort project was then finalized.

To celebrate the cooperation, Boss Zhao hosted a dinner for us.

The location was set at a health resort.

"The food here is fresh, without any pesticide residues, and the water is good, too, it's mineral spring water." Boss Zhao laughed and said, "President Li, please try it. If you like it, we can get together here on the day the project is completed."

Li Wenzhao chuckled: "Okay."

Secretary Fan had already drafted the contract according to the results of their discussion and handed it to Boss Zhao's accompanying secretary. After taking it, Li Wenzhao and Boss Zhao signed the contract together.

This business trip is successful.

Not long after signing the contract, all the dishes were served. Jing Yi was already very hungry. Seeing the table full of delicious food, he swallowed his saliva and quietly moved his butt forward.

As soon as I moved, I felt a gaze falling on me.

Jing Yi looked over suspiciously.

Li Wenzhao pulled back the leather shoes that were rubbed by Jing Yi's soles, "Is there a thorn on your butt?"

"If you sit too far away, you might not be able to pick it up."

[It's such a big table, and it's not easy for me, an assistant, to turn the table. Once the dishes are turned over, I will quickly grab some.]

[If it spins too fast, could you help me hold down the table? ]

Li Wenzhao: "..."

"Come on, Mr. Li." Boss Zhao unveiled the clay pot in the middle of the table: "This is a specialty here, mushrooms, chicken, and seafood, the soup is fresh and delicious, try it."

Boss Zhao was in a good mood and did not forget to greet Jing Yi and Fan Ming: "Assistant Jing, Secretary Fan, you guys eat too, you're welcome."

"Thank you, Boss Zhao."

Jing Yi didn't know what kind of soup was in the pot, but he tasted it. It had a strong aroma and a thick white soup. After taking a sip, his whole body felt warm.

"It tastes good."

After Jing Yi finished drinking, he pursed his lips with a feeling of unsatisfied taste and looked at the dining table.

[Three cup chicken is coming soon, get your chopsticks ready! ]

Li Wenzhao: "..."

Before he turned his eyes away, he saw from the corner of his eye that the butler was ready to make a move.

The Three Cups Chicken was passed to Jing Yi. Li Wenzhao stretched out his chopsticks and the plate on the table stopped immediately. Jing Yi finally got to eat the delicious food he had been longing for.

During the meal, apart from chatting with Boss Zhao, Li Wenzhao's mind was completely attracted by the people around him. Occasionally, when he saw Jing Yi mumbling about not being able to catch up with the table and missing out on delicious food, he would not help but pick up the serving chopsticks to help.

Jingyi ate very full and even drank three bowls of soup.

Even Boss Zhao's expression when looking at Jing Yi was not right. How important must this person's status be to have the big boss serve him for dinner?

After dinner, Boss Zhao arranged other activities and invited Li Wenzhao to experience hot spring therapy, but Li Wenzhao declined.

Boss Zhao saw this and did not insist any further. He asked his secretary to send a car to take them back to the hotel to rest.

It was getting late today, so Li Wenzhao decided to go back to Shoucheng tomorrow.

When we returned to the hotel, it started raining again and the sky was foggy. Jing Yi had just eaten and drunk enough, so his body was soft and he was not cold at all.

I still have the mood to look up and praise God.

[I know it's raining every day. If you can make money fall, hahahahahaha]

Just after laughing, Jing Yi burped.

【I feel full.】

【My stomach feels full. 】

Li Wenzhao turned his head away without changing his expression and said: "I thought your stomach was a treasure chest that could hold anything."

Jing Yi pursed her lips shyly: "Support."

"..."

Secretary Fan was conscientious and handed over a box of digestive tablets. Jing Yi took it immediately and said, "Secretary Fan, you are indeed a perfect secretary."

Fan Ming pushed up his glasses and said, "Thank you, Butler Jing."

There were more than twenty long steps at the entrance of the hotel. Fan Ming said, "Butler Jing, do you want me to help you up?"

Jing Yi turned his head and said, "Secretary Fan, who are you looking down on?"

Li Wenzhao glanced at him and said, "As long as you eat enough to make yourself plump, no one can look down on you."

Jing Yi: "..."

·

At night, Jingyi lay on the bed like a salted fish.

He ate too much in the afternoon and didn't take a bath in the evening. He thought he was tired enough after a whole day of work, but he couldn't fall asleep. His whole body felt dry, as if he had been soaked in hot water.

Jingyi thought it was because he was wearing too many clothes, so he took off his bathrobe and used his shirt as pajamas, but he still felt hot.

He tossed around in bed for a while and found that he had a nosebleed.

The moment he saw the blood, there was only one sentence left in Jing Yi's mind -

[It's over. I have a terminal illness.]

[Cannon fodder NPCs have no life story. Maybe the final fate of Butler Jing in the novel is death from illness...]

[Otherwise, it would be unfair to the ending where everyone is dead. 】

[It's over, it's over, it's over...]

Li Wenzhao was terrified when he heard this outside the door. He thought something had happened to Jing Yi, so he rushed in without even knocking.

Seeing Jing Yi's wrinkled shirt, he was stunned.

Jing Yi just got up from the bed, jumped off the bed with bare legs, and saw Li Wenzhao, and immediately said: "It's over, it's over, Master, I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Li Wenzhao's eyes were full of white. He saw him covering his nose. He walked closer and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."

Jing Yi whimpered: "How come nothing happened? Who has a nosebleed for no reason?"

Li Wenzhao said: "You supplemented too much."

Jing Yi: "Ah?"

Li Wenzhao reminded: "The soup at noon is turtle soup."

Jing Yi was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses: "Here, you all call turtles treasures of the water?"

If you change the name, he can recognize it as tortoise, turtle or tortoise.

Li Wenzhao was too lazy to argue with him and walked towards the bathroom: "Come here."

"Why, aren't you going to the hospital?"

"It's just a slight bleeding. Didn't you notice it has stopped?"

Jing Yi let go of his hand, and it was true, and he quickly ran over obediently.

The bathroom still lingered with the fresh scent of shower gel. He followed Li Wenzhao to the sink, where two figures, one tall and one short, were reflected in the mirror.

"Keep your head down, don't look up."

Jing Yi put his head down obediently.

Li Wenzhao dipped a towel in water and wiped the marks on Jingyi's face.

Jing Yi stood in front of him, less than half a meter away from each other. The warmth from Li Wenzhao's body and the fragrance after bathing emanated continuously through his bathrobe and fingers.

Jing Yi didn't know where to look.

Li Wenzhao's bathrobe fit him well, with a belt tied around his waist. The tight fabric revealed the lines of his strong muscles, making him look solid and lean...

"..."

Jing Yi quickly looked away, feeling even more annoyed.

The tip of his nose suddenly itched, and he thought he was going to have a nosebleed again, so he tried to step back, but Li Wenzhao held his shoulders and said, "Don't move."

The tip of his nose was swept by a familiar itch, and Jing Yi subconsciously broke free from Li Wenzhao's hand, "I can't stop..."

[I think I'm going to have a nosebleed again! ]

Jing Yi stepped back in a hurry, but his toes suddenly slipped, and his body leaned back, crashing into the edge of the basin behind him.

Jing Yi felt a strong sense of weightlessness and his eyes widened in horror. He repeated in his mind a series of "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over..." Just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, he was pulled back by a huge force.

"What are you doing?" Li Wenzhao's angry voice was close to his ear. "You are going to die by making trouble in a place like this."

Jing Yi was like a frightened quail. He fluttered twice in Li Wenzhao's hands before standing firmly on his bare feet. He whispered, "You're too close. I'm hot..."

"So you just want to kill yourself?"

"I didn't..."

Jing Yi stopped talking abruptly and his heart skipped a beat.

He was leaning sideways in Li Wenzhao's arms, with a warm hand against his lower back, making him shiver all over. It seemed as if something was gradually waking up in the place where they were closest to each other.

Jing Yi's eyes widened and he trembled violently.

Chapter 40 Who confesses like this?

"............"

Jing Yi froze in place, feeling himself sinking into the red heat.

The narrow bathroom could not accommodate two red-hot people. The scorching heat seemed to be burning his head, making all his thoughts sizzle.

Jing Yi held his breath and slowly stepped back after preparing himself mentally, his mind in a mess.

Li Wenzhao asked if...if...

He stepped back from Li Wenzhao stiffly. He didn't know if it was because of the pot of turtle soup, but he felt even hotter. His heartbeat was speeding up and his face was red as if blood was about to drip out.

Jing Yi couldn't help but glance downwards, and was shocked again.

Good, good macro!

Doesn't your novel setting care about the life or death of your spouse?

"Master, Master, Master." Jing Yi stuttered, not knowing what to say: "I, I, I, I'm going to go out first, you ...

Before Li Wenzhao could say a word, Jing Yi ran out with red ears.

The bathroom door was closed neither lightly nor heavily, just like Jing Yi's pounding heart. After leaving the bathroom, Jing Yi leaned against the wall with a red face, unable to recover for a long time.

Before this, Jing Yi had always regarded Li Wenzhao as a villain in a novel. Although he knew that they were now flesh and blood and had thoughts, he could not ignore the fact that they were NPCs in his heart.

How can NPCs have physiological reactions?

The official match in the novel is not here.

Jing Yi leaned against the wall, his mind full of random thoughts, making his face red from imagining himself.

Jing Yi was immersed in a mess of thoughts. He didn't know how long it had been when the bathroom door clicked. He was so scared that his neck shrank and he immediately turned over like a salted fish and pressed himself into the corner.

I saw nothing.

[Nothing was heard]

[Don't call me, don't call me, don't call me...]

"Jingyi."

"..."

Jing Yi turned back with a click, his eyes wandering and he dared not look at Li Wenzhao. Li Wenzhao looked at the person who tried to merge with the wall, and said in a normal tone, "Are you imitating wallpaper?"

Jing Yi: "..."

He stood up a little straighter and stopped leaning against the wall: "No, I'm hot. It's cool to stay close to the wall."

Jing Yi stood with his hands behind his back and his head down, like a student standing in the corner as punishment. His shirt was crumpled into a mess, and under his shirt lay a pair of long, straight legs that were slender and white.

The irritability that Li Wenzhao had suppressed with great difficulty began to rise again.

He closed his eyes, trying not to look at the dazzling skin in the corner.

"Don't hide from me like this, isn't this normal?"

Jing Yi looked up in confusion. Li Wenzhao was already dressed neatly, looking normal, with no sign of the out-of-control behavior he had shown in the bathroom.

Jing Yi blinked and thought, it seemed quite normal. It would be abnormal if there was no reaction after drinking the tonic medicine.

And they are all men, there is no need to be so sensitive.

yes.

Why is he embarrassed?

Considering the close relationship between him and Li Wenzhao, it is normal for something like this to happen... right?

"Yes, it's normal." The eavesdropping master Li Wenzhao interrupted the butler's confused thoughts and stopped him from thinking further.

Jing Yi nodded along with this line of thought: "Yes, that's right, it's normal."

The voice was very loud, as if trying to convince himself.

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you still embarrassed?"

Jing Yi shook his head: "It's not embarrassing anymore."

"Then go to sleep. We'll take the high-speed train back to Shoucheng tomorrow morning."

Li Wenzhao glanced at him, turned and left. The butler even kindly sent him to the door. It seemed that he had thought it through.

Li Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect his reaction to be so strong. Jing Yi was frightened. The housekeeper was emotionally weak and used all his IQ to be funny. In order not to scare people away, he could only temporarily return to the position of employer.

Don't overdo it. More haste, less speed.

·

After a dry night, Jingyi still felt a little uncomfortable when he got up early.

On the high-speed train back to Shoucheng, Li Wenzhao booked a business class seat. Jing Yi lay on the aisle chatting with Fan Ming. Occasionally, he would go out of his way to see the scenery out the window on the other side of the aisle, refusing to look back, leaving Li Wenzhao with an awkward and evasive look.

"Is the exquisiteness over there so beautiful?"

Jing Yi didn't even turn his head: "It looks good."

[Not awkward, pure and simple, watching more can also improve health]

"..."

Li Wenzhao said slowly: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, looking at it for two hours in a row..."

Jing Yi replied sleekly: "Then it would be a big profit."

The answer he got was a light sneer: "It will sprain your neck."

Jing Yi: "..."

He slowly turned back, curled himself up in the recliner, and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you sprain your neck. After getting off the high-speed train..."

Li Wenzhao sat casually, keeping his chair at a comfortable angle. Hearing this, he gently interrupted him: "You can tilt your head to perform performance art, and basically say goodbye to the company of pillows for a while in the future."

Jing Yi: "..."

Familiar taste, familiar quarrel.

Li Bapi is still the same Li Bapi.

He was overthinking it.

Li Wenzhao's reaction today was as if he wanted to use the harshest words to kill the subordinate who discovered his secret, so as to silence him in the end.

The last trace of doubt in his heart was dispelled, and Jing Yi calmly laid down his chair and went to make up for the sleep he had not gotten last night.

·

The high-speed train arrived in the capital at noon, and the driver, Uncle Lin, was already waiting outside the station.

The business trip was tiring, and Li Wenzhao couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take a break, so he directly told Uncle Lin to go home, and Fan Ming would not go with them.

When getting in the car, Jing Yi remembered something, leaned over the door and bent over to look around.

Li Wenzhao stood outside and watched him tinkering: "What are you doing?"

"Looking for something."

After a while, Jing Yi found a file bag in the car and ran to Fan Ming: "Here, this is the secret book that Secretary Zou gave you."

Fan Ming's face was ruddy, and he was standing on the side of the road taking medicine with water. Jing Yi frowned: "Secretary Fan, are you sick?"

"No, this is a fire-reducing medicine." Fan Ming said, "If you don't take it on time in the next two days, you will have a nosebleed."

He drank two large bowls of nourishing soup yesterday, but he still doesn't feel well. It's probably because he has been weak since childhood and cannot be nourished. He needs to use medicine to calm the excess dryness in his body.

Jing Yi cast a passionate gaze over and said, "Can I take a picture so I can buy the same one when I go back?"

Fan Ming smiled and said, "Are you also angry?"

Jing Yi thought of Hong Hong last night, pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's prepared for the eldest young master, his condition is more serious."

"..." Fan Ming was silent for a long time, his eyes suspiciously fell on Jing Yi's serious face. After a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Young Master didn't even drink the soup, how could he get a sore throat?"

Jing Yi: "......?"

I didn't drink the soup. So last night's reaction was purely physical desire?

The source of desire is...?

"..." Jing Yi was completely stunned.

[Isn't it possible? It won't happen? It shouldn't happen? ]

"What can't, can't, shouldn't?" Li Wenzhao's voice came from behind, "You are so engrossed in the conversation with Secretary Fan, why don't I find a place for you to sit down and have a good chat?"

Fan Ming immediately waved his hand and stepped back: "No, Mr. Li, the car I booked has arrived."

Secretary Fan slipped away without any reluctance.

Jing Yi was left standing there alone, not daring to make a sound under Li Wenzhao's gaze.

No, it's seriously OOC, isn't it, author?

This is a typical green romance novel. The main villain also has a vicious official partner. The whole text is nothing but melodrama and plain water. Suddenly, it starts with pure love.

It's not scientific.

Moreover, Butler Jing is just a tool, and the lowest kind of cannon fodder at that. How can such a low-level NPC deserve to have a love line?

It's not him who is crazy, it's the plot that is crazy.

Is this the legendary butterfly effect? ​​Because he drove away the vicious official partner, the emotional line was placed on his head?

Jing Yi looked up at Li Wenzhao in disbelief.

It had been raining for the past few days and the temperature in the capital was very low, but Li Wenzhao seemed not to notice the temperature change. He was tall and well-dressed in a suit, standing on the wet road waiting for him patiently, with handsome features.

"Young Master..." Jing Yi touched the tip of his nose and asked hesitantly among the passers-by: "You last night, um...was it..."

Li Wenzhao stood in front of him, looking at the hesitant look of the young butler, and sighed: "I thought I was obvious enough."

Jing Yi: "..."

He feels a little dizzy.

He was confused for a while, and then sorted out his messy thoughts: "Isn't your orientation the opposite sex?"

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: "When did I say I like girls?"

Jing Yi: "Then Huo Cenxin..."

Li Wenzhao: "She's just a partner. Why do you think I have a crush on her?"

Because that's what's written in the novel!!!

Li Wenzhao and Huo Cenxin knew each other and loved each other. From Li Wenzhao's perspective, they treated each other with respect after marriage. How come he suddenly became gay?

"I don't like Huo Cenxin." Li Wenzhao said, "I like Jingyi, do you understand?"

Jing Yi's heart beat violently, his neck shrank, and he hid his chin in his collar, saying in a muffled voice: "Maybe I need to calm down..."

Li Wenzhao nodded considerately: "It's my duty."

Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard the person next to him say, "How long do you need to calm down?"

Jing Yi: "..."

【Who urged the cooling-off period? 】

He rubbed his chin against his collar: "I don't know, I'll try as soon as possible..."

"Okay." Li Wenzhao just looked at Jingyi: "Anything else you want to ask?"

Jing Yi buried his head, not knowing what to say, his mind was blank. How could someone confess their feelings so suddenly? He was totally unprepared!

"No, then, then..."

Li Wenzhao walked up and rubbed Jingyi's head, trying to rub him back to normal: "Now, go home first, it's going to rain again soon."

Jing Yi was rubbed so hard that he felt dizzy and felt like he was floating.

·

After returning from a business trip, the capital city slowly entered the autumn and winter seasons, with endless rain and a sharp drop in temperature.

Jing Yi's thin arms and legs were not resistant to the cold, so he put on a sweater early, which made him look furry and soft.

It was another weekend, and Jing Yi was staying in his room eating glutinous rice balls.

The kitten has been raised by Li Mingzhi for quite a while. Its belly is round and its fur is dry and soft. It purrs comfortably when Jing Yi touches it.

But thinking of Li Wenzhao, his breathing became a little disordered, and his hands became confused, and he rolled the glutinous rice ball into a Lion King.

"Meow~"

Tangyuan broke free from his hand and squatted in the corner to lick his fur in dissatisfaction.

Li Mingzhi had a rare moment of free time, so he brought a lot of snacks and wanted to watch a new movie with Jing Yi. "Butler Jing, what are you daydreaming about? The movie is about to start."

Jing Yi was still listless, "Young Master."

"Hmm?" Li Mingzhi came closer: "Are you worried about something?"

Jing Yi paused: "Is it obvious?"

"It's 99% obvious, right?" Li Mingzhi said, "What happened that made you so confused? Maybe I can give you some advice."

Jing Yi hesitated for a while. He had already gone over the events of the past two days several times. After hesitating for a moment, he tried to speak, struggling: "I have a friend..."

Li Mingzhi paused, then turned his face sharply and said, "Butler Jing, I didn't use this excuse when I was in junior high school."

"..."

Jing Yi rephrased: "My friend has a friend."

Li Mingzhi sat down next to him and tore through a bag of potato chips. "Just tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

"It's okay, Butler Jing." Li Mingzhi comforted him: "I will help you keep the secret."

Jingyi always feels that people who say this kind of thing are essentially just loudmouths.

But since there were some things he couldn't find anyone to talk to, he thought for two seconds and continued to ask: "What if my friend's friend was confessed to by his boss..."

"What?!" Li Mingzhi screamed, "Butler Jing, are you in love?"

Jing Yi choked up suddenly: "Young Master, please read the question carefully. This is a confession, not a love relationship."

Li Mingzhi said frantically: "Who is it, Secretary Fan?"

Jing Yi: "No..."

Li Mingzhi said: "Then why are you so hesitant? You just don't like rejection."

"I......"

Li Mingzhi patted Jing Yi on the shoulder, looking like an experienced person: "Butler Jing, believe me, when you think seriously about this problem, you have already fallen."

Jing Yi's heart skipped a beat.

The next second, his eyes paused and his attention began to wander: "Young Master, don't think that I don't know because you rubbed the potato chip crumbs on my shoulder."

Li Mingzhi withdrew his hand awkwardly.

Outside the room, Li Wenzhao knocked on the half-open door. Li Mingzhi saw his elder brother coming back and wanted to share gossip. "Brother, brother, it seems that Butler Jing is in love."

Jing Yi: "..."

Li Wenzhao: "..."

Li Mingzhi: "The target seems to be Secretary Fan!"

Jing Yi: "!!!"

Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows and locked his gaze upon him.

Jing Yi quickly said, "I didn't say it was Secretary Fan."

Li Mingzhi nodded and said, "But you already have someone you like."

Jing Yi: "..."

Li Wenzhao looked over from a distance.

Jing Yi's neck slowly turned red. Just as he was about to make some excuses, Aunt Fang came to Li Wenzhao in a hurry and said, "Master, Master is not well."

Li Wenzhao turned around and went out: "What happened?"

Aunt Fang ran out of breath and almost searched the entire Li family before she found Li Wenzhao in the housekeeper's dormitory. Hearing this, she held her knees and took a breath, and said anxiously, "The third young master just came to get the household registration booklet and brought a girl back. I think he's going to get the marriage certificate."

Li Mingzhi stood up: "What?!"

·

In the living room, Li Ting carefully helped a girl with a slightly protruding belly to sit on the sofa, and considerately put a pillow under the girl's back to make her sit more comfortably.

Li Ting acted frivolously most of the time, and it was rare to see him so cautious and slightly nervous.

When the two brothers Jing Yi and Li Wenzhao walked into the living room, Li Ting was making a phone call to make an appointment to register for marriage.

Li Wenzhao thought of Jing Yi's nagging and frowned, "Old Three."

Li Ting hung up the phone: "Brother, little brother, you are here."

He helped the girl on the sofa up and said with a smile, "This is Xuanxuan, my wife."

The girl smiled bitterly: "What are you talking about?"

Li Tinghao did not hide his affection and supported her: "We were going to get married anyway, that's right."

Xuanxuan lowered her head and chuckled, stroking her slightly bulging belly with her fingers, "Big brother, little brother."

Li Wenzhao didn't look very good.

Little Brother Li also stared at the two of them suspiciously.

Only Jingyi stood in the corner, daydreaming.

【Xuan Xuan.】

【Xuanxuan?】

[The name sounds familiar... Her full name is Yuan Tingxuan, right?]

Li Ting's pupils trembled. How did Butler Jing know that?

Since he had brought the person back, Li Ting had already made preparations to protect his lover from slander, so he deliberately concealed the last name when introducing her and only said the nickname, just to prevent Butler Jing from misunderstanding his lover.

I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape.

Thinking of the miserable end of his second and younger brothers, Li stopped reading the household registration book and stood up. "Brother, we agreed to get the marriage certificate this afternoon and come back later for the reunion dinner."

"Sit down." Li Wenzhao had no expression on his face.

Li Ting pursed his lips.

Miss Yuan Tingxuan noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and took the initiative to pull Li Ting to sit down, with a very sensible and kind attitude: "A Ting, my brother must have something to say, let's wait for a while."

She sat down with difficulty, holding her stomach.

Li Mingzhi asked: "Third brother, did your girlfriend eat too much?"

Li Ting glared at him fiercely: "What nonsense! Your sister-in-law is pregnant. You will have little nephews and nieces to play with. This is a big event for the Li family."

Jing Yi looked at Li Ting from a distance.

A person who usually looks smart and serious will become crazy and stupid once he gets involved in the main plot, and he is no longer like his original self.

Is this the force majeure of the novel world?

[I really want to use a carrot to wake up the Third Master. ]

Li Wenzhao: "..."

Li Ting: "..."

Yuan Tingxuan stroked her belly with a gentle expression and smiled softly: "A-Ting is right, big brother, we really love each other. It's all my fault. I missed A-Ting too much. I went abroad for three years and missed him all the time during this period. After I returned to China, I made an appointment with A-Ting to meet. That night we both drank too much..."

Li Ting was so moved that he wanted to fly to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately to get the certificate stamped.

Jing Yi was hiding in the corner eating watermelon, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

[Why do you blame all accidents on being drunk? If you get pregnant after drinking once, is alcohol also a sperm? It can also help people get pregnant. Then all hospitals that treat infertility should not be opened, right? ]

"..."

Li Ting glanced at Jing Yi angrily.

[And her belly isn't that big, is it? It's not as obvious as if I'm full. Why does she look like she's pregnant, as if she's afraid that others won't notice that there's a gold ingot in her belly...]

[Isn't this too exaggerated, Mr. San? ]

Li Ting: "..."

Li Wenzhao and Li Mingzhi cast approving glances towards the corner at the same time.

Jing Yi's complaints, after all, did not reveal much of Yuan Tingxuan's flaws. Compared to Ning Jiang and Qiu Minzhi, Li Ting felt that his baby was already as beautiful as an angel.

He felt relieved, and carefully held Yuan Tingxuan's hand and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, Xuanxuan, I will definitely give you and the child an explanation."

Yuan Tingxuan nodded: "A Ting, I believe you."

Li Ting seemed to be greatly encouraged and turned around and said, "Brother, I have made up my mind. I know what I am doing. I am very clear-headed. I want to marry Xuanxuan. Please help me and bless us."

Li Wenzhao didn't say anything, but tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa.

Several bodyguards immediately walked in from outside the door: "Young Master."

Jing Yi turned his head in confusion: "???"

[How did the bodyguard get in? ]

[Where is the summoning button? Is this the summoning power of a top boss...]

Li Ting's face immediately turned ugly: "Brother, are you sure you want to do this?"

"It's not too late to leave after listening." Li Wenzhao hinted at something.

Li Ting turned around and looked at Butler Jing who was hiding in the corner. He gritted his teeth, endured it, and comforted Yuan Tingxuan before sitting back on the sofa.

Yuan Tingxuan was a little confused: "What's wrong, Ah Ting?"

Li Ting said nothing and shook his head. He just wanted Butler Jing to finish his nagging so that he could go get the marriage certificate before getting off work.

Yuan Tingxuan saw the strange and stagnant atmosphere in the Li family and frowned. The next second, she held her stomach and exclaimed, "Ouch."

Li Ting was nervous for a second: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Tingxuan touched her belly and said, "Ah Ting, my baby suddenly kicked me just now."

When Li Ting heard this, his face instantly showed surprise: "Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang, quickly make two bowls of chicken soup for the young lady to nourish her body. The food abroad is not nutritious. Make two Yuncheng-style dishes for dinner. The young lady will love it."

Jing Yi was speechless.

[No, big sister, your belly is only the size of an almond. Even if you are pregnant, you haven't seen the fetal movement yet. Do you think we are fools for reading novels? ]

[Oh yes, I remember now, this child is actually——]

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, anxious calls were heard from outside the door, and a group of people looked outside.

Li Xu came back in the heavy rain.

His shoulders and trouser legs were wet by the rain, but he didn't care. He rubbed his wet hair and sat down next to Li Wenzhao.

"Okay, let's get started."

"..."
