When Shao Jixi saw LiMan appear in the Shao Family, he revealed a helpless expression.
Finally, he could work again. LiMan felt as if every cell in his body had been revived.
At noon, she brought the lunch box to the staff canteen, but she was watched from all directions. There were many people pointing at her and discussing something.
"Hai, do you see that? She's LiMan ……"
"It's the president she saved. He does n' t look good either."
"She must have saved the president for money. I've seen a lot of such scheming women."
……
Psychic woman? Hearing the discussion, LiMan lost his appetite and left with the empty lunch box.
When she returned to her office, she met a Chen Li who had come to deliver her food.
"You can't have eaten it, right?" Chen Li looked at the lunch box in LiMan hand and asked. Just now, the President had asked him to buy lunch for Chen Li. He had only been in traffic for a while, so why had she already eaten it? If the president knew that LiMan hadn't eaten the lunch he had bought, he would probably lose his bonus in the second half of the year.
The conversation of those people was still in his mind. LiMan shook his head in a low mood and entered the office.
When the Chen Li looked at it, she guessed that she must have heard some kind of gossip. If it was to be said that the president was indeed different from her, it was probably because he wanted to wear the crown, he would have to bear his weight. What you got, you would lose something.
Putting his lunch on the table, Chen Li cleared his throat and pretended to be deep. He said," Young people always have to be questioned before they can grow up. The road to life must be taken by themselves ……"
"I want to be quiet." LiMan interrupted Chen Li and sat on a chair with his forehead propped up.
"Oh..." "Alright." Chen Li scratched the back of his head and left.
After a while, LiMan finally figured it out. The road was her own, so why would she care about other people's eyes? At this time, only her mother was the most important. The others were just passersby, so why should she be serious?
After opening the lunch box, LiMan wolfed down their lunch. Only when they were full did she have the strength to work. She had to use her strength to block those people's mouths.
In the afternoon, Lin Lu from the sales department suddenly came to look for her.
"Sister LiMan, I have something to ask for your help ……"
Looking at Lin Lu troubled expression, the usually good-tempered LiMan asked softly," What's wrong?"
"My brother had an appendectomy tonight, but the sales department arranged for me to see my client tonight. But my brother grew up with me. I ……"
As she spoke Lin Lu she began to cry.
When LiMan saw it, he quickly handed her a paper towel and comforted her," It's fine, it's fine. Your brother must be fine. How about this? I'll go see that customer for you tonight. I' ve been in the sales department at a company before. Ordinary customers should be fine."
"Really?" Lin Lu, who had just been in the rain, suddenly revealed a happy expression as he looked at LiMan in surprise.
"Of course, work is more important than family."
"That's great. Thank you, Sister LiMan." Lin Lu smiled innocently, but LiMan did not see the disdain under that naive smile.
The client that she was going to see tonight was famous for being lecherous. Originally, she had a male colleague who had gone with her, but she had rejected him for all sorts of reasons. She thought that she would LiMan go alone anyway, so why would she find a helper for her? Her pure eyes gradually turned cold, Lin Lu a sinister smile appeared on her lips. LiMan, I've been in love with the President for five years. What qualifications do you have to stay by his side? You are not qualified!
After work, according to the address given by Lin Lu, LiMan went to Shuangyun Hotel alone with the contract.
Walking into the private room, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes in the room caused LiMan stomach to boil. He endured the nausea and LiMan to introduce himself." Hello, everyone. My name is LiMan. I'm Shao Family President's assistant here today to discuss the contract."
"Oh, it looks like Shao Jixi's luck is pretty good. With such a beautiful assistant, can you still read the documents?" The bald man in the middle of the room spat out a mouthful of smoke as he spoke. He choked LiMan and coughed a few times.
The others looked at her like they were looking at a Clown.
"Come, let me see what ability the woman beside Shao Jixi has to stay by his side and dry this bottle of wine. I'll sign this contract tonight."
###Chapter8
As he spoke, the bald man placed a bottle of beer in front of LiMan.
LiMan was conflicted. She had a good amount of alcohol, but this was the first time she had finished a whole bottle of alcohol in one go. However, she thought that this was a good opportunity for her to prove herself. She had to get this contract to stop the crowd.
Taking a deep breath, LiMan picked up the bottle and lifted his head to drink it. The surrounding people began to jeer and the scene became noisy.
After an unknown amount of time, LiMan drank the last mouthful of wine and turned the bottle upside down to indicate that he had finished.
"It looks like this Shao Jixi's woman has a good amount of wine. I wonder if she has something extraordinary in other aspects."
As he spoke, the bald man pulled LiMan into his arms. The nauseating smell and the yellow teeth on his mouth immediately made LiMan vomit.
When the bald man saw that he had been puked all over, he fiercely pushed LiMan to the ground.
"Damn it!" The bald man was completely enraged. He stood up and raised his hand to hit LiMan.
At this moment, a figure quickly flashed and a side kick kicked the bald man to the ground. With a pig-killing scream, the two teeth fell to the ground with the bald man.
Shao Jixi quickly stepped forward to help LiMan up. His eyes were filled with heartache as he asked," Are you alright?"
When LiMan saw Shao Jixi coming, he suddenly felt at ease.
In the afternoon, Shao Jixi went home to see that LiMan hadn't returned yet and called him to ask. However, the sales department told him that LiMan had gone to discuss the contract with the president of Cloud Emperor Group for Lin Lu.
After hanging up, Shao Xixi angrily drove all the way to the hotel. Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The bald man got up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at Shao Jixi and said," Shao Jixi, don't you f*****g go too far. Is it worth giving up your cooperation with the Cloud Emperor for a woman?"
"You don't need to judge whether it's worth it or not. It's not good for you to work with Shao Family Cloud Emperor!"
With that, Shao Jixi carried LiMan and left, leaving everyone to look at each other.
Sitting in the car, Shao Jixi remained silent.
The LiMan sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but say," I' m sorry."
His voice was very soft, like a cloud floating into Shao Jixi's ears, making his heart ache.
Unable to control himself any longer, Shao Jixi turned around and pulled LiMan into his arms. He lowered his head and gave LiMan a soft kiss on his forehead. The air stopped abruptly. Then LiMan heard a hoarse voice," I will never let you suffer any harm again!"
……
That night, LiMan had a beautiful dream. In her dream, her mother had already recovered and was walking with her by the river. Under the sunset, across the sparkling river, a familiar figure stood there.
From afar, LiMan saw Shao Jixi's handsome face suddenly blossoming with a brilliant smile. It was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen.
The next day, LiMan woke up from her dream. It was already afternoon. She recalled Shao Jixi's shallow kiss last night. It was both real and dreamlike.
He shook his head hard to wake himself up, LiMan got up and went downstairs.
When Aunt Zhang saw that she was awake, she poured her a cup of boiled water and said," Miss has finally woken up. When Young Master left today, he specifically instructed me not to let me disturb you and let you have a good sleep. "I've been with Young Master for so many years, but I' ve never seen him so interested in anyone."
LiMan took the cup and smiled awkwardly before drinking it.
At this moment, Shao Jixi happened to be back. LiMan was drinking water when she saw Shao Jixi recalling the fake kiss last night. She spat out a mouthful of water.
When Shao Jixi saw this, he hurriedly walked over and patted her on the back." You're so stupid even if you drink water."
Although Shao Jixi's tone was full of disdain, LiMan blushed when she heard that.
Auntie Zhang looked at the interaction between the couple with satisfaction and returned to the kitchen.
"Come with me to the gala tonight."
"Me?" LiMan pointed at him in disbelief and asked.
"Other than you, are there any other women by my side?" Shao Jixi asked back, then affectionately touched LiMan head and went upstairs.
What was going on? LiMan was shocked by this sudden move. The Shao Xixi she had just seen must be fake. It must be!
At night, LiMan was taken to a shopping mall by Shao Jixi in a daze.
As soon as they entered, all the employees bowed and said," Hello, President!"
LiMan followed behind Shao Jixi and was shocked by the sudden greeting.
After choosing a top brand store, Shao Jixi sat down on the sofa and pointed at LiMan shop assistant." Help this lady pick a dress."
"Huh?" LiMan was shocked. She hadn't worn her gown yet.
Then, seven or eight employees, who were about the same length, swarmed up and stuffed her into the dressing room.
Not long after, LiMan was put on a long silver fishtail dress. The fine cut made her figure perfectly. The shop assistant couldn't help but sigh that this dress was tailored for her.
The curtain pulled open and LiMan stood there looking at Shao Jixi shyly.
Shao Jixi was stunned for a moment before he picked up the shoes he had just picked up and walked to LiMan side.
Holding the shiny shoes, Shao Jixi knelt on one knee and carefully held LiMan feet inside.
All of the shop assistants watched Shao Jixi put on high heels so tenderly for LiMan.
After putting on his shoes, Shao Xixi got up with a satisfied smile and slightly bent his arm to motion for LiMan to put on.
Looking at the gentleness in Shao Jixi's eyes, he did n' t have any questions and didn't feel nervous. LiMan, he grabbed onto his arm.
In the end, they walked out of the mall amidst the envy of everyone.
When Chen Li saw LiMan, he was so shocked that he forgot to close his chin. Was this a LiMan he knew?
Seeing Chen Li staring at the LiMan without any hesitation, Shao Jixi was slightly dissatisfied and deliberately blocked LiMan front of him.
Seeing Shao Jixi's eyes that could kill people, Chen Li immediately withdrew his gaze. He did n' t dare to look at LiMan.
