Chapter 109: A Thousand Pets 15
"Come, Sister Xiaoci eat more, there are a lot of delicacies here in Hong Kong City, and there are many foreign dishes, you may not be able to eat them in other places."
"If Sister Xiaoci likes it, after coming to Hong Kong City, I will be the east, please Sister Xiaoci eat enough!"
Lu Li ignored Zhou Ji, sat down directly beside Yici, and talked to her.
Yi Ci smiled: "Then it will trouble Lu Gongzi." β
"What is the name of Mr. Lu, just call Brother Lu, Sister Xiaoci, don't be so polite."
The two of you went back and forth, without a word of truth in your mouth, Zhou Ji picked up the fork and silently ate the steak in front of him.
The meal was over, and it was close to ten o'clock in the evening.
Yici lived in the manor for a few days, barely leaving the house, writing plans during the day and teasing Zhou Ji at night.
The chaos outside the port city did not affect her in the slightest.
Untilβ
"Hurt?"
Yici brought out a glass of water from the kitchen and was about to go upstairs when Zhou Ji happened to come back.
Zhou Ji was neatly dressed, but his face was obviously pale.
Yi Ci leaned against the railing of the stairs, holding a water glass, glanced up and down at the traces, and asked.
Zhou Ji's eyes flashed, and he paused for two seconds before responding, "Hmm." β
"Have you taken the medicine?"
"It's done."
"Oh."
Yi Ci finally glanced at Zhou Ji, said to let him have a good rest, and went upstairs.
Zhou Ji stood in place, staring at Yici's back in confusion.
She...... The reaction wasn't quite right, was it?
It's so cold.
"Did you her off?" Zhou Ji looked at the housekeeper of the manor.
Ms. Housekeeper: "Sir, I am a graduate of the Professional Housekeeper Academy, and I will not behave in a way that does not meet the requirements of the industry, you can try to find the root cause of the problem from yourself." β
Zhou Ji: "......"
Is he a hired butler, or a hired boss?
Could it be that the way he opened his eyes was wrong? Why is everyone targeting him today?
Zhou Ji was just about to go upstairs to ask clearly, when a subordinate in a black suit ran into the living room, grabbed Zhou Ji, and ran out, "Boss!" The dock ship was burned! β
The wound on Zhou Ji's body stabbed-
Cracked.
Zhou Ji: "......"
Why did all the bad luck happen today?
On the balcony on the second floor, Yi Ci held a water glass, sat on a hanging chair, and looked at the messy figure downstairs with interest.
"My vacation is over in three days, so let's do it quickly."
"Teacher Zhou, what are you doing like this......" The plainclothes man stood behind Yi Ci, bowed his head, and hesitated a little, "The superior will criticize you." β
"I didn't do anything illegal, and what did they criticize me for?" Yici didn't look back, enjoying the summer scenery of the manor.
"In three days, how is the work entrusted to you?"
"It's done." The man made up his mind and finally asked, "Are you doing this, aren't you afraid that Mr. Zhou will be alienated from you?" β
"That's his business, what does it have to do with me?" Yi Ci stared at the back that was getting farther and farther away, "I'm tired enough from my usual work, if I have to be distracted by his vacillation, wouldn't it be even more tiring?" If he wants to grasp it, he will do it himself, and if he hesitates, it is his loss. β
The man didn't respond and silently retreated.
Port City Pier.
Red flames scorched, and smoke billowed out.
There are thousands of people around the wharf, crowds of people, and people are constantly squeezing in, and the excitement of the big bosses is not common, and no one can refuse.
People are gossiping.
"Whose ship is this, it burned down all at once, and it is estimated that it will be bankrupt, right?"
"The! Who doesn't know that these big bosses don't do personnel all day long? β
"They deserve it, let them also taste the suffering of our poor families!"
"These ships look weird...... If only I could sit down......"
More than a dozen black cars drove past and stopped at the pier.
Zhou Ji and a group of subordinates got out of the car and stood on the pier looking at the raging fire not far away.
"Boss, there's no way to save it."
Zhou Ji stared at the flames, not knowing what he was thinking, and the sneers of the onlookers all squeezed into his ears.
For a moment, it was as if he couldn't hear anything.
The fire seemed to be connected to him, burning his twenty-six years.
A scene from the past passed by him like a movie.
He couldn't wait to catch a remnant.
He struggled to discern.
He wanted to see clearly.
And thenβ
He saw a bright figure.
In the midst of the flames, it became clearer.
Zhou Ji suddenly came back to his senses, and the fire in front of him was burning, which was all he had worked hard in the port city, and it was about to turn into nothingness.
"The boat is all under maintenance, and there should be no casualties." Zhou Ji calmly looked at the person in charge who came in a hurry, "Isn't it?" β
The person in charge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Ji's sharp gaze, "Yes, yes......"
"Since there are no casualties, let's do our best to control the fire." Zhou Ji took one last look at the burning boat, turned around, and said, "Go back to the company." β
Everyone didn't dare to come out, for fear that Zhou Ji would get angry.
The onlookers laughed and sighed at the beauty of the flames.
The convoy drove away and headed for the city.
On the bus, the atmosphere was silent.
The co-pilot's subordinates couldn't help but comfort Zhou Ji, "Boss, it's a big deal to start all over again, the brothers are all following you!" β
"That's it, boss, how can you do business without losing money, you are still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future!" The driver couldn't help but comfort him.
Zhou Ji looked at the scene outside the car window, heard the words, and retracted his gaze, "After dealing with the company's affairs in a few days, I will recommend you to Lu Li, and he will accept you." β
"Boss, don't think about it!" The co-pilot's subordinates hurriedly persuaded, "You are still young, don't give up, the brothers are going to follow you!" β
"That's it, boss, brothers will be with you for life!"
Zhou Ji sighed slightly, and smiled calmly at the two, "Thank you, but this time, I picked up a life, and I saw a lot clearly, my family is worried about me, if I do such a dangerous thing again, they are afraid that they will not recognize me." β
"Boss?"
"You too, do some safe business in the future."
"Boss ......"
When I arrived at the company, the company's employees were in a mess, and the arrival of Zhou Ji set the hearts of many people.
"Boss, what about our salaries?" In the hall, a group of employees surrounded Zhou Ji and blocked him at the door.
"Today's main purpose is to pay you this month's salary, and by the way, I will terminate the contract with you, and the compensation will be compensated as much as possible." Zhou Ji did not flinch at all, and his face was pleasant.
The momentum of the surrounding employees weakened instantly, as if they had a little guilt for being unforgiving.
"Boss, we are not difficult for you, we are very happy that you are willing to pay us salaries, as for the compensation, we don't want to ......"
The employees at the head took a step back, they just wanted the last month's salary, after all, all the company's boats were destroyed, and the company had to pay a lot of money to its partners, which would definitely not be able to support it. The boss usually treats them well, but if they fall into the well again, they really have no conscience.
"Yes, we don't!"
"Eh, why ......?"
"There will be no less compensation." Zhou Ji's eyebrows were stretched, and his voice was clear, "The compensation stipulated in the contract is what you deserve, and the company will compensate you in full." β
