Li Ji ran into the office, out of breath.

Looking up, the quartz clock on the wall pointed to exactly eight o'clock.

He sat down in his chair and gasped for a long time before he was relieved.

I had no strength in my body, my head was still a little dizzy, my stomach was full of sour water, and I was so nauseous that I wanted to vomit.

Li Ji got up and poured a glass of boiled water, and drank it half-warm and half-hot.

Leaning back in the chair, I closed my eyes and recuperated, and then I felt more comfortable.

Picking up the document on the table, I was just about to read it, and suddenly remembered something. His face changed, and he jumped up and ran to the corner.

Next to the fortune tree, a small safe stood silently.

Li Ji squatted down and opened the safe. Looking inside, the gift box was still lying well.

He was about to close the cabinet door, but he was only halfway closed, when he suddenly stopped; Reach out and drag the box out and place it on the ground.

I opened the gift box, took out the pile of money, and counted it.

A total of 10 piles, 100,000 yuan.

That's right, no more, no less.

Put it back again and again, and seal it.

Stuffing the gift box back into the safe and locking the cabinet door, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Returning to the chair and sitting down, my eyelids jumped up again inexplicably. He panicked for a while, and couldn't help pinching his nose vigorously.

Gazing hesitantly, he paused on the safe for a moment. Li Ji grabbed the phone and dialed the number of the monitoring room.

It was Xiao Luo who answered the phone.

"Xiao Luo, is Director Sun back?"

"Oh, it's Director Li," Xiao Luo's voice was very enthusiastic, "Our Director Sun hasn't come back yet." ”

Li Ji remembered that he was called to the monitoring room last time, and after inquiring for a long time without explanation, his heart was furious, and he said, "Then you know, when will he come back?" ”

"This,...... I can't say the specifics," Xiao Luo paused, "I heard that it will take at least ten days, and it will be late at the earliest......"

“.......”

Li Ji was speechless immediately, and before Xiao Luo finished speaking, he slammed and hung up the phone.

The rising sun shines through the glass. Looking out of the window, the sky after the rain was exceptionally blue.

Li Ji suddenly felt very quiet.

As soon as he came back to his senses, he remembered that he turned off his phone last night and hasn't turned it on until now.

Take out your phone and turn it on.

As the screen flashes, a crisp ringtone rings, and text messages and missed calls pop up.

Li Ji hurriedly looked through them one by one.

Both text messages and missed calls are Liao Ying's. Between nine and twelve o'clock last night, she made eleven phone calls and sent five text messages.

Liao Ying still cares about me.

Li Ji's heart suddenly became hot, and the only little bit of anger left disappeared without a trace at this time.

He hurriedly dialed back.

The phone went through.

The bell rang for a while, but no one answered.

Liao Ying must be in class, Li Ji thought.

was about to hang up the phone, but heard Liao Ying's voice from there: "You wait, I'll come out ......"

"You're in class?" Li Ji asked.

"Well, well......" Liao Ying hesitated, "Okay, okay, I'm out, you can say it......"

"...... me?"

Li Ji opened his mouth and covered it, and suddenly didn't know what to say. He was stunned, swallowing his saliva as if someone had grabbed his throat.

"Where did you go last night?"

After being silent for a long time, Liao Ying asked.

"I, I'm in the dorm......"

Li Ji's mind was spinning quickly, and he stuttered a little when he spoke.

"Really?"

Liao Ying's voice was faint.

"Yes, yes," Li Ji hurriedly said, "After eating out last night, I will go back to the dormitory......"

"And what time are you back?"

Liao Ying then asked, her voice still very flat.

"I'm ......" Li Ji thought for a while, "about nine o'clock......"

"Nine o'clock, are you not mistaken?"

Liao Ying's voice was so calm that Li Ji was a little flustered.

"Probably not...... That's right......" Li Ji sighed.

"Then you're back,...... And where did it go? ”

Liao Ying is still continuing, with a posture of wanting to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Me? ......" Li Ji began to get nervous, and unconsciously raised his voice, "I, I'll sleep when I come back." ”

"Why does your phone keep turning off?" Liao Ying's voice was cold.

"The phone is out of battery......"

Liao Ying was silent, and a clear wheezing sound came from the earpiece.

"Yingying?" Li Ji was a little weak-hearted.

"Hmmm......"

"You ......"

"Hmmm......"

Liao Ying was still silent, and Li Ji felt a burst of irritability, and there was a little anger.

"Yingying, what's wrong with you, talk!" Li Ji was anxious.

"You, are you lying to me?"

"Lie to you?"

"You didn't go back last night, did you?"

Liao Ying's voice was cold, and Li Ji palpitated.

"I, I didn't......"

"Last night, I, I went to look for you......" Liao Ying said quietly.

"Yingying, I'm ......" Li Ji gasped, "You, you listen to me......"

Doodoo ......

There was a busy tone, and the phone hung up.

Li Ji was stunned for a moment and hurriedly called back.

The phone rang several times, then hung up again.

Li Ji dialed again, and Liao Ying had already turned off the phone.

He was so angry that he threw his phone on the table and held his head in his hands.

"Director Li, President Ye, please come over!"

Li Ji was startled, and when he looked up, Liu Min was standing at the door.

Li Ji suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Wan Daming today and wanted to visit him with President Ye.

Li Ji hurriedly picked up the bag and walked out.

Ye Xin was already waiting at the door of the president's room.

The two went downstairs.

The sun was shining warmly, and the huge shadow of the office building fell, hiding the "crown" car in the shadow.

The car drove briskly on the road.

"Xiao Li, what's the matter, I didn't sleep well last night?"

Ye Xin looked at Li Ji and asked with concern.

"No, no....... Ok......"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and said after eating.

Ye Xin nodded, turned his face away, and looked out the car window.

"President Ye, what do you think about the money?" Li Ji turned around, "Director Sun won't be able to come back for a while." ”

"Well, let's put it with you first," Ye Xin pondered, his eyes still looking outside, "As soon as Director Sun comes back, give it to him directly, don't go back." ”

"Governor Ye, this is ......" Li Ji hesitated.

"When Haitianda's loan is recovered, it will be fine in the future," Ye Xin turned his face and looked at Li Ji, "I also know that some things may not be done,.....

Speaking of this, Ye Xin stopped, and his eyes stared out of the window again.

"If nothing else, I'll go back to the province next year," After a while, Ye Xin opened his mouth again, "Tao Ping should take over, you have a ..... in your heart"

Li Ji listened silently, speechless.

"I will suggest to the provincial bank that you get a regular ...... in advance"

After Ye Xin finished speaking, he leaned back, his eyes slightly closed, and fell into deep thought.

Li Ji nodded, turned around, leaned back in his chair, and stopped talking.

The car was quiet.
