What happened next did not cause any thunder and fire, nor did it develop anything beyond imagination.

Even though he occasionally shows his weakness, his heart is as strong as Li Zijin and he quickly retracted his gaffe, wiped away his tears, and returned to his usual appearance.

Perhaps it was the encounter in just one day that drained her mind, and she fell asleep on the seat of the car at some point.

Zhou Li turned his head to see her asleep, smiled and turned off the speaker, and stopped the car again.

Rolling out the window, he looked out the window at the hurried world, contemplating intently about what had happened in the past few days. In their silence, time flowed quietly and diligently, until when Li Zijin woke up, the sky was already covered with a layer of night.

As if he was a little uneasy in his sleep, Li Zijin woke up from a dream, opened his eyes a gap in the haze, looked around blankly, and finally landed on Zhou Li, who was silent beside him.

He seemed to be thinking about something, looking intently at the world outside the window, extremely engrossed, but more and more calm and quiet than usual, without saying a word.

Looking at him suspiciously and curiously, Li Zijin was once again calmed down from the state of awakening, and felt another wave of sleepiness coming.

Unwilling to sleep like this anymore, she climbed up with the car door, rubbed her cheeks, and then tidied up her slightly messy hair again, finally feeling a little more energetic.

Zhou Li noticed Li Zijin who woke up, retracted his diffused thoughts, and turned his head to look at her: "How did you sleep?" ”

"What time is it?" Li Zijin rubbed his eyes, looked at the time on the dashboard, and then was stunned for a moment: "I've slept for so long?" ”

Zhou Li lowered the window and let a slightly cold wind blow into the carriage: "It's not too long, it's only three or four hours, it's only six o'clock now, and it's still time for dinner." ”

"After eating so much for lunch, where can I still eat ......"

Li Zijin rubbed his sour eyes, and only reacted after he finished speaking, Zhou Li hadn't eaten anything at noon.

Discovering her gaffe, she looked at Zhou Li with some apologies: "Haven't you eaten it yet?" ”

"Actually, it's not like I haven't eaten anything." Zhou Li smiled: "There is a bag of egg rolls in the back." ”

"Let's go to dinner, then." Li Zijin lowered his head: "I've had a treat, so I should thank you." ”

Zhou Li couldn't help but turn his head to look at this awkward woman again, and while he was a little helpless, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head gently: "I haven't been home for more than a day, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that little girl at home will go crazy hungry." ”

Thinking of Lu Qiaoshui lying at home, enduring hunger and waiting for him to come back to cook, Zhou Li laughed again.

Li Zijin thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Then take her out to eat together." ”

"So generous? Well, it's a rare opportunity to eat and drink at public expense. ”

Zhou Li reversed direction and drove the car towards Lu's house. The street lamps in the night emit a soft glow, and as the car moves, it once again intermingles into dappled light and shadow, shining in the quiet car.

Sitting next to Zhou Li, Li Zijin looked silently at the front of the car window, and suddenly whispered: "Zhou Li, I'm sorry, I lied to you." I'll ...... later. You may never be able to deduct your wages again. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Li turned his head to look at him suspiciously.

Li Zijin met his gaze and smiled in a low voice: "I have resigned from Times Company, and I have decided a long time ago to entrust a lawyer to hand over all the property to the eldest brother after the death of the second uncle." ”

She paused, and there was a little self-deprecation in her smile: "I don't want to take their things all these years, it's good to give them all back, and there's nothing to care about anyway." ”

Times Building has a total of seven floors, a large operating supermarket, more than 30 clothing stores, two floors of Internet cafes, and one floor of KTV. Two streets away from a large clubhouse, Times Group has all the shares in shipping and logistics, and it is said that there is also a construction company...... After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't estimate how much the total value is, but if it is converted into RMB with real estate, the number at that level will make Zhou Li lose his sense of reality.

Even if he was already accustomed to Li Zijin's simplicity and determination, Zhou Li couldn't help but look at the smiling woman beside him in surprise.

"Now you understand, right?" Li Zijin looked at Zhou Li's surprised eyes and smiled complicatedly: "This woman in front of you has nothing left." ”

"So, thank you." She lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you for taking such good care of me these days, thank you very much." ”

After a pause, she finally made up her mind and said seriously: "You can go back tomorrow, don't worry about me anymore." ”

looked at her silently, and after a long time, Zhou Li retracted his gaze, nodded and said, "Since you have quit, I will also resign." ”

"What stupid things are you talking about, stupid! You still have someone to raise at home! ”

A trace of anger and incomprehension flashed in Li Zijin's eyes: "You are now going crazy with a woman who has nothing, and sooner or later you will regret it!" ”

Zhou Li laughed, turned his head seriously and said, "I'm actually very rich, will I tell you?" My family has hundreds of millions of dollars, and in fact, there are villas in Europe. ”

"...... Li Zijin was a little angry: "You haven't even passed English level 4!" ”

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment: "Who told you?" ”

Eyes with subtle anger glaring at Zhou Li, Li Zijin was silent for a long time and then whispered: "Fang Xiaoxiao, that little broken mouth has spread to the whole company. ”

"She really knows everything." Zhou Li smiled helplessly, without any sense of embarrassment that the lie was exposed: "That was just an accident, I was too tired the day before, and I overslept and didn't catch up." Actually, I also speak German, really, not kidding you. ”

Li Zijin finally couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes, glanced at him and said, "Then you say happy birthday to me." ”

"Hmm, I want to think about it......" Zhou Li thought for a moment, and then said tentatively, "Buonpleanno? ”

After listening, Li Zijin, who was still looking forward to it, showed such a look, and sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, it's a swollen face and a fat man...... You should really ask, I took German when I was in college. ”

She smiled proudly, and subconsciously said in the tone of the past: "Come, sister teaches you, happy birthday in German should be: allesgutezumgeburtstag!" ”

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and soon showed a shy expression: "Actually, I just made a mistake, that is Italian." ”

Regarding Zhou Li's explanation, Li Zijin was completely helpless, and after glancing at him, he said: "Italian is Italian, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

Zhou Li smiled and continued to drive, until after a long time, Li Zijin broke the silence again: "Zhou Li, are you really ready to resign?" ”

Zhou Li turned his head to look at her: "Did I lie to you?" ”

Even if his face is as thick as his, he can't help blushing when he says this, in fact, when he thinks about it seriously, he still habitually tells a lot of lies to his boss's sister.

Rarely did he take this issue seriously, Li Zijin lowered his head and thought about it, and after a long time, he finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "Zhou Li, you ...... Remember the request you made to me? ”

"Do you want to use it now? Are you sure? Zhou Li glanced at her: "Don't you let me resign?" ”

"It's not." Li Zijin shook his head gently, took a deep breath, looked at him seriously and asked, "If you resign, are you still willing to come to me to look for a job?" I still have a little money on hand and may be able to do something in the future. If you come, the salary may not be as high as it is now, so ...... So ......"

She didn't seem to be able to say any more, no matter how she thought about it, she didn't have a reason to let Zhou Li continue to work for herself, she subconsciously didn't want to use herself to tie up Zhou Li, but hoped that Zhou Li could make her own choice.

Just looked at him so seriously, Li Zijin's eyes were vaguely apprehensive and expectant.

"Do you need to talk about it?" Zhou Li looked ahead, suddenly laughed, and nodded seriously: "I'm also very idle, I'm free at any time, you don't have to worry." A beautiful boss like you can't be found in Shangyang with a lantern. ”

Li Zijin was silent, under the reflection of the street lamp, she looked at Zhou Li in a complicated way, and after a long time, she whispered: "Zhou Li, thank you." ”

Zhou Li glanced at her suspiciously, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Li Zijin, how many times have you thanked me today? It's not like the boss sister I know at all.

"One word of thanks is enough."

"Oh." As if he had made some mistake, Li Zijin lowered his head in some frustration.

As if thinking about something difficult to decide, her expression changed constantly and subtly, and cowardice and apprehension kept emerging—even with the determination and courage to be able to throw away such a huge asset without blinking an eye, she couldn't help but feel a little unspeakable about what was on her mind at the moment.

But if you don't say it now, how long will you drag it out?

"Zhou Li ......"

In the long silence, she finally mustered up the courage and raised her head again, her voice trembling slightly: "I think, you maybe, right...... You like it, and it's not right......"

Slurring and spitting, until the third mistake, she finally gave up on herself, bit her pink lip in a little panic, took a deep breath, and raised her voice:

"Zhou Li, I think, I like you!"

After saying that, as if she had used up all the courage of the rest of her life at once, she lowered her hot cheeks nervously, waiting for a response.

The speeding car in the downtown suddenly braked, Zhou Li held the steering wheel in a daze, and turned his head to look at the woman with his head bowed next to him in the silence.

In the soft light outside the car window, she lowered her head, hiding her nervousness, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders, raised her head slightly with some uneasiness, and looked at Zhou Li's serious expression.

With an unbelievable look, Zhou Li held on to his weak shoulders and said in a serious tone: "You...... Say what? ”

"Huh?"

Li Zijin was stunned and looked at Zhou Li blankly.

What he finally mustered up the courage to say, he actually ...... Didn't hear me? What's going on?

There was a long silence.

The sound of deep breathing came from the silent carriage, Li Zijin bit her lip with shame and anger, and the inexplicable grievance and anger made her let out an uncontrollable trembling voice:

"Zhou Li ......"

"Huh?"

Bang!

In response to him, an uppercut from the boss's sister was crisp and neat, with all the anger and the trauma of a soft heart, and it was mercilessly poured into Zhou Li's chin.

"Guy who can't hear a girl's confession clearly, go die! Go to hell!!!! ”
