Chapter 33 Working Overtime

As soon as Lin Zhi got home, he immediately called Shenglangxing and told him why he couldn't go to his house on the weekend.

Sheng Langxing became angry when he heard this: "Why can't you come? Didn't you just say it well?"

Lin Zhi knew that she was in the wrong, so she patiently explained again: "Because the project progress is urgent, the company suddenly notified us that we have to work overtime on weekends to catch up with the progress."

"The company notified us to catch up on the schedule? I think it was Gu Qingbei who informed me, right?" Sheng Langxing snorted coldly on the phone, "Why didn't you tell me before that you wanted to work overtime? You only said it after I told you to come to my house for dinner. , isn't it obvious that you are not allowed to come?"

For some reason, Lin Zhi felt that Sheng Langxing was particularly angry today, and his words were also strange. Although he usually got along with her very casually, this was the first time he spoke without any reservations like today.

Besides, she didn't think it had anything to do with Gu Qingbei asking her to work overtime and going to his house for dinner on weekends. Today was even the first time they met.

"That's how work is. You'll understand when you go to work." Lin Zhi pursed his lips, guessing that he must have encountered something unhappy. After a pause, he asked, "Have you encountered anything?" Something happened?"

"No." Sheng Langxing said coldly, followed by various carnival and noisy background music.

Lin Zhi listened carefully for a while and roughly guessed his location: "Are you in a bar now?"

 She was answered by a silent silence.

"It's very late now. Go back to school quickly. If it's any later, Aunt Sheng will be worried."

"Lin Zhi, do you think of me as a child?" Sheng Langxing suddenly said this without any clue.

 Lin Zhi didn't understand what he meant: "What?"

"Forget it," Sheng Langxing's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly dropped, like a rubber ball that was constantly deflating, with a hint of grievance in its decadence, "Anyway, you won't understand anything I say. It's about eating. I will tell my mother to change the time, so you can go to bed early."

 "wait..."

Before Lin Zhi finished speaking, the phone was hung up. She stared at the call record of more than two minutes just now, and for a long time, she couldn't figure out what provoked him.

Although Sheng Langxing has a stubborn temper, he usually doesn't get angry with her. Moreover, since he was admitted to Beijing University, his temper has improved a lot. He made fun of her a lot, but he never got angry once, let alone lost his temper.

His transformation was so great that Lin Zhi once thought that university was the best place to shape a person's character.

 So today's fire is because she didn't keep her word? Go back on your word?

Lin Zhi thought for a long time, and finally felt that this was the most likely reason.

She opened WeChat, dug out the chat history with Sheng Langxing, and typed out the next line: [It is indeed my fault for going back on my word. I apologize to you. I will definitely choose a suitable time next time. ]

Lin Zhi occasionally and unintentionally retained the habit of a teacher in front of him, and she was like a sister, patiently and carefully analyzing herself, hoping to teach him well by example.

 Sheng Langxing replied quickly, but also very short, with only one word: [Hmm. ]

Lin Zhi glanced at it and knew that it would be like this for a while. He wanted not to return, but he still said uneasily: "Go back to school early, before it is too late." ]

 Shenglangxing is still one word: [Good. ]

 Lin Zhi sighed and walked straight to the bathroom with her pajamas.

Sheng Langxing hung up the phone and lost interest in continuing to play. He put one hand in his pocket and said casually to the people accompanying him: "You guys are just having fun, I will withdraw in advance."

"Hey, what's the matter with you kid? Last time you played billiards because of your tutor, what's the reason this time?"

Li Muyi was the most familiar with him, so he naturally refused to listen to what he said: "You have a problem, there is something wrong with you since we were in the hotel just now. You have a droopy face, as if someone owes you two million."

Sheng Langxing was upset and had no time to pay attention to him. He bent down and grabbed the car keys and walked out.

"You are so unloyal. You always let everyone down. Whoever calls you next time will be your grandson."

Li Muyi's cursing voice sounded. Someone pulled his arm and asked him to lower his voice: "Isn't it obvious to him? He must have suffered from that tutor."

Li Muyi scratched his head and seemed to think what he said made sense: "I have been chasing a girl for so many years without success. I have never seen anyone more cowardly than him."

Lin Zhi arrived as scheduled to work overtime on the weekend, but when she arrived at the company, she discovered that Gu Qingbei was the only one in the huge conference room.

Gu Qingbei was looking down at the documents on the table, her long eyelashes were slightly drooped, and her profile was clear.

 Lin Zhi called him: "Mr. Gu, good morning."

Gu Qingbei turned his head, and what caught Lin Zhi's eyes were the few rays of sunlight pouring into the room through the window: "Good morning."

Lin Zhi didn't know how other people would feel when they see the person they like. Anyway, for her, the other person's words or even a simple look can make her heart beat faster in an instant.

"Why are you alone, where are the others?" Lin Zhi regained his composure and asked in a low voice.

 Didn't I say that I was working overtime to catch up on the project? Why didn't I see anyone else?

 "If they don't come, I'll be the only one working overtime."

Lin Zhi was slightly startled. She wanted to ask him, if no one else would come, why did he arrange for her to come? But then I thought about it, she was his assistant, it was reasonable for her to accompany him when he worked overtime.

 "Oh, okay, so what do I need to do?"

Gu Qingbei didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said slowly: "No hurry, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet." Lin Zhi replied truthfully. He forgot to set the alarm last night. When he woke up this morning, he found that he had slept in. He packed up and hurried out without having time to have breakfast.

"That's just right. I bought an extra serving for breakfast." As he said that, Gu Qingbei pushed the bread and milk on the table in the direction of Lin Zhi, "Eat this first."

 "This is not good."

Gu Qingbei saw that the child was worried and thought she was worried about being misunderstood. He explained gently: "There's nothing wrong with it. I bought too much. Don't think too much about it."

"Oh, okay." Lin Zhi replied awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. In fact, she didn't think much about it, she just felt it was a little inappropriate. Not only did she not buy breakfast for her boss, she also had to eat his breakfast...

She opened the package, lowered her head and took a bite. It was soft and sweet, with a soft and glutinous texture and a filling. It was indeed much more delicious than what she usually bought.

Gu Qingbei picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. She raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the child unintentionally. Seeing that it was to her liking, a hint of smile gradually filled her eyes.
