Jiang An looked at the message and thought of their encounter that night. She smiled and pursed her lips.

Jiang An: 1 don’t know who was the one who was surrounded and plotted against at Huanlang Island.

When Zou Bai saw this, he frowned slightly.

Director Zhou from the Finance Department, who was doing a summary report, saw Zou Bai’s expression and his heart skipped a beat. He was puzzled. Last month’s results were quite good this year. Was the boss still dissatisfied?

Director Zhou calmed himself down and continued speaking.

Zou Bai felt a little helpless. He didn’t expect Jiang An to suddenly mention the only time he was surrounded and attacked alone after living for so many years.

Zou Bai: The only time it happened you saw it, I don’t even know how to reply to you. Just take it that I’ve given you a living example. That’s my blood experience. All you have to do is learn from my lesson.

Jiang An: Hahaha, I’ll definitely learn!

Jiang An: You should be working at this time, right? If you’re working, hurry up and get busy. We’ll contact each other after you’re done.

Zou Bai: Alright, remember to think about your apology gift when you’re free.

If you don’t pass, your apology won’t count.

When Jiang An saw Zou Bai’s words, she felt that it might not be easy to fool him this time. Her eyes darted around as she sent another message.

Jiang An: When are you coming to Lin City?

Zou Bai: Miss me already?

Jiang An had just picked up her cup to drink water. When she saw Zou Bai’s teasing message, she choked and spat out the water in her mouth.

Jiang An coughed as she put down her phone. She hurriedly pulled a tissue to wipe her clothes and bedsheets.

Zou Bai waited for two minutes but didn’t see Jiang An’s reply. Their conversation suddenly disappeared, making Zou Bai feel a little uncomfortable.

Zou Bai had never had such an experience before. Even when he was with his two bad friends, he was the one who would not reply every time they chatted. Only Jiang An, this little woman, dared to pick on him like this.

Zou Bai controlled his emotions and placed his phone on the table.

In the entire conference room, only Director Zhou was standing in front of the projector and talking about last month’s financial report. Zou Bai didn’t stop him, so he didn’t dare to stop. When Zou Bai put down the phone, he finished explaining. “That’s last month’s financial situation.”

Although Zou Bai was sending messages, his ears were not idle either. He looked up at the finance manager. “Director Zhou, you reported 23,195,827,770 yuan as Long Yu Real Estate’s sales results last month just now, but I remember that on the first of this month’s business statistics report, it was 23,915,827,770 yuan.”

When Director Zhou heard Zou Bai’s words, he was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and flipped through the report in his hand. He realized that it was indeed the same number as the report he had just reported. He then flipped through the summary report submitted on the first. The number that Zou Bai had just read was exactly the same as that report.

Director Zhou immediately broke out in cold sweat and swallowed his saliva. The mistake had already been made. All he could do now was to deal with it immediately and try his best to salvage the situation. Hence, he quickly replied, “Boss, I’ll get my subordinates to verify it immediately.”

Zou Bai made a sound with his nose. “Mm.”

Director Zhou immediately used his phone to inform his subordinates to check. As the next topic of discussion would revolve around this number, everyone was waiting for the final amount to be confirmed.

Zou Bai lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything. The others didn’t dare to make a sound, so everyone fell silent.

Director Zhou felt that he was doomed this time. The difference between the positions of the two numbers was not just a little bit. It was more than tens of millions!

He might not be able to stand in his position. To Director Zhou, a few minutes was like a year.

Director Zhou suddenly thought of something. He looked up and secretly glanced at Zou Yi, who was standing behind Zou Bai.

Zou Yi stood condescendingly and saw the nervousness in Director Zhou’s eyes. According to his experience, how this matter was resolved had a lot to do with the boss’s mood, and the boss’s mood had something to do with Miss Jiang, who was chatting with him.

Zou Yi gave him a helpless look before looking away.

Director Zhou felt his head hurt even more. He quickly received an email reply on his computer. When he saw the number, Director Zhou swallowed his saliva and stood up with a bang. “Boss, your number is right. The number I reported today was wrong.”

Director Zhou’s voice was tense.

Zou Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the huge amount error on the paper. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that the phone screen had lit up and Jiang An’s message had appeared..
