Chapter 35: A Society of Relationships

Li Li is not so easy to be fooled, Shang Ming's little trick can be easily recognized.

"Don't change the subject yet, you answer my question first. ”

Li Li had no intention of making concessions, and Shang Ming was very embarrassed when he saw it.

"Lili, that incident was not my master, it was the chairman's wife who personally called me to arrange it. At that time, I also wondered why it was the turn of the chairman's wife to ask a small secretary in person, but the other party was resolute, and I didn't want to ask too much. ”

Li Li listened to Shang Ming's explanation, and immediately understood what was going on with the whole thing.

These rich people, relying on their wealth and power, bully the weak common people, really have no humanity at all.

The whole thing is obviously that Li Xinyi found his distant cousin, the chairman's wife, to protect herself, and she also dealt a cruel blow to poor Qin Lianhua.

The truth of the matter is known, but so what?

Li Li himself is also an ordinary commoner, and he has no ability to compete with those rich and powerful people at all.

Shang Ming saw that Li Li didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was still angry, so he took her hand and began to explain: "Lili, you really have to believe me......!

Shang Ming was halfway through his words, and his hand was thrown away by Li Li.

"I know the general manager, excuse me. ”

After Li Li finished speaking, he turned around and left the office, leaving Shang Ming alone with regret.

"I knew that I would have interceded for that Qin Lianhua at that time, and I wouldn't have been so generous with Lisheng. ”

Shang Ming was so angry that he threw himself on the chair and began to slap his thigh incessantly.

"Shang Ming, Shang Ming, it's getting farther and farther away from you now!"

When Li Li returned to the office, Qin Lianhua was no longer there.

She came to her desk, ready to call Lotus's number.

Before the call could be made, she found a note on the table.

"Thank you, manager, thank you for taking care of you for these two years. I deserve it this time, I can't trouble you anymore, I'm leaving. ”

Qin Lianhua actually left a note and left, and Li Li hurriedly dialed her phone.

"Sorry the user you dialed is turned off......"

turned off the phone, it seems that Lotus is determined to leave, and doesn't want to trouble Li Li anymore.

Li Li put down the phone and came directly to the office area, and his colleagues were all immersed in work at this time.

Li Li walked up to Zhang Yuan's workstation and knocked on the table.

"Have you seen Qin Lianhua?"

Li Li pretended to be nothing, she didn't want the news of Lotus's expulsion to spread.

Zhang Yuan raised his head in surprise, stopped tapping his hands on the keyboard, thought for a moment and said, "I also greeted her in the morning, and then I didn't seem to have seen her since I was busy." ”

Li Li nodded after listening: "Well, I know, let's work." ”

It seems that Qin Lianhua wants to leave quietly and not cause trouble to anyone.

Originally, it was just an ordinary employee leaving, and Li Li didn't need to pay special attention.

But Qin Lianhua was expelled this time, and Li Li felt that he still had part of the responsibility.

She underestimated the degree of Li Xinyi's shamelessness, and in order to protect Mingzhe's life, he actually directly begged his cousin to expel Qin Lianhua.

Li Li really couldn't swallow this breath, and ran to Li Xinyi's office in a rage.

Li Li was about to push the door in, but was stopped by Li Xinyi's secretary.

"The manager, the deputy manager, said that it is inconvenient to meet customers for the time being, do you want to ...... Come back later?"

The secretary was afraid of Li Li's majesty, and he didn't speak clearly.

Li Li didn't intend to give Li Xinyi face, ignored the secretary's reminder, and directly pushed the door in.

At this time, Li Xinyi was nested in a leather chair, with his legs on the desk, looking leisurely.

Seeing Li Li, who suddenly broke in, he was not in a hurry at all, but was full of smiles.

"Yo, the manager is here! Lily shouldn't go and pour the manager a cup of coffee!"

Li Xinyi's fake appearance made Li Li really want to vomit when he saw it.

"No need, I'll leave after I've said what I have to say!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the secretary Lily quickly closed the door and slipped away.

Only the tense Li Xinyi and Li Li were left in the room.

Li Li walked to the desk, glanced at it, and then sneered: "Heh, the deputy manager will really enjoy it! Cigars, red wine, melon seeds, you are simply more chic than the general manager!"

Li Xinyi listened to Li Li's cynicism and was not moved at all. This thick-skinned man, no matter how you laugh at him, he will praise him as you.

"The manager said seriously, I'm just tired from work, treat myself a little. ”

After Li Xinyi finished speaking, he picked up the red wine on the table, took a sip with a full face of enjoyment, and then prepared to light a cigar.

"What are you doing? No smoking in the office!"

Li Li really couldn't stand such a brazen man, she clenched her fists, and she felt the urge to beat him.

Li Xinyi directly took Li Li's words as a deaf ear and lit the cigar directly.

After taking a hard puff, Li Xin said slowly: "Manager, this is my office, whether you can smoke or not, I have the final say." ”

Unable to bear it anymore, Li Li clenched his fist and slammed it towards Li Xinyi.

Li Xinyi was so frightened that he hugged his head to dodge, and with a "bang", the leather chair behind him was dented.

Li Xinyi almost fell to the ground with the leather chair, and finally he used his weight to stabilize his center of gravity.

After Li Li vented his anger, he directly released cruel words to Li Xinyi: "Be careful not to let me grab your handle, otherwise I will let you walk around without eating." ”

Li Xinyi was frightened, but he was still a dead duck with a hard mouth: "Okay, I'll see what handle you can catch me!"

Li Xinyi clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Li Li cautiously, for fear that his fist would fly over again if he was not careful.

Li Li didn't want to stay with this kind of scum for another second, and after turning to leave, she adjusted her mood and returned to the office.

After calming down, she felt that she had to see Lotus again no matter what.

We've been colleagues for two years, so we should say goodbye no matter what.

She remembers that when she interviewed Qin Lianhua, she wrote her home address on her resume.

Li Li called up Qin Lianhua's profile and found her home address.

Li Li didn't expect where Qin Lianhua lived now, where she had lived with her mother for five years.

It was an old building, with no air conditioning in the summer, no heating in the winter, and the only way to live on the sixth floor was to climb the stairs.

There are also many unserious massage parlors around, and when she was a child, she would pass by there every time she got out of school, and she would meet a lot of strange uncles and grandfathers.

But her mother told her that she must not deal with those people, go straight home, and don't stay for a moment.

When she thought of the gentle and kind Qin Lianhua living in such a smoky place, she was even more worried.

This stupid woman won't lose her job and be unable to figure it out for a while and go astray, right?

"No, I have to go find her after work!"

Li Li threw down the mouse and collapsed on the chair.

Li Li, who was absent-minded, finally got off work.

She hurriedly came out of the office with her bag on her back, and happened to collide with Zhang Yuan, who was in a panic.

"Manager, are you alright?"

Zhang Yuan walked up to Li Li and asked nervously.

Li Li, who was in a hurry to find Qin Lianhua, didn't have time to chat with Zhang Yuan, she waved her hand and said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's okay! I'll go first!"

Li Li had just taken two steps, but was stopped by Zhang Yuan behind him.

Zhang Yuan asked Li Li with a nervous face: "Manager, did Lianhua take leave today? Why don't you see her after work?"

Li Li clenched his handbag tightly and said with some weakness: "Yes, it seems that I have asked for leave, I am busy, and I don't pay attention." ”

Li Li stepped out of his right foot and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yuan again.

"Manager, will something happen to Lotus? should we call the police?"

Zhang Yuan talked about the more serious the matter, and the colleagues around him who were about to get off work also came around.

Li Li saw that the situation was not secondary, and quickly explained: "Oh oh, oh, I remember, she asked me for leave verbally today, and I forgot about it when I was busy!"

After listening to the manager's explanation, the colleagues were relieved to disperse, except for Zhang Yuan.

He still had a worried face: "Manager, Lotus rarely asks for leave, is there anything urgent about asking for leave this time?"

Li Li was impatient with Zhang Yuan's question, and dragged him outside directly.

After Li Li let go of Zhang Yuan's hand in the corridor, he said to Zhang Yuan with a serious face: "Don't ask anything, follow me." ”

Zhang Yuan saw Li Li's serious expression, and suddenly understood that things were not simple.

"Got it, manager. ”

Zhang Yuan and Li Li drove to Qin Lianhua's residence together, and on the way, Zhang Yuan wanted to ask Li Li what happened, but seeing her serious expression, he never dared to speak.

As the car drove into a dilapidated path, Zhang Yuan looked out the window, and the road was lined with dilapidated buildings, and the snow-white exterior walls had been stained black and dirty by the stains accumulated over the years.

The surrounding residents all talked about this strange car, after all, Li Li's off-road vehicle was already a symbol of the rich in this kind of place.

"Is this a relative of any family?"

"What kind of relative would come to a place like ours!"

"That's it, people like us are like cockroaches, it's good if others don't beat you!"

Li Li quickly locked the location of Qin Lianhua's house, and after parking the car, she instructed Zhang Yuan: "Our main task today is just to comfort our colleague Qin Lianhua, and not say a word else." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded obediently, as long as he made sure that the lotus was safe and sound, he didn't care about the rest.

The two of them weaved through the narrow and chaotic alleyways, and passers-by cast envious glances at the exquisitely dressed men.

Zhang Yuan was the first time to come to this kind of place, and it was hard for him to imagine how inconvenient it would be for a weak girl like Lotus to live here.

He just wanted to find Lotus now and see if she was safe and sound.

Zhang Yuan was walking well, and when he passed by a row of massage parlors, the scantily clad women inside threw flattering glances at him, making him feel uncomfortable.

Li Li was worried that Zhang Yuan behind him couldn't withstand the pressure, so he glanced back, and this guy was so shy that his face turned red.

Zhang Yuan is also in his twenties, why is he still so shy like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy......

Li Li really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to hold Zhang Yuan's arm and whisper in his ear: "They are all women who can be your sister, when you are your mother, are you so shy?"

Zhang Yuan was so nervous that he couldn't speak: "After that... Manager, what are they doing? Why are they all looking at me like that?"

Li Li almost laughed out loud when he heard Zhang Yuan's words.

"Isn't it, Zhang Yuan, you're 25 years old, haven't you experienced it at all?"
