Ji Siyue got out of bed and hopped on one foot to Zhu Zhiyao's room. She knocked on the door several times with a "bang, bang, bang". Receiving no response, she directly opened the door.
There, that person was still lying in bed, sleeping in. Ji Siyue took off her slipper and threw it directly. It hit Zhu Zhiyao on the leg.
Zhu Zhiyao woke up. Seeing Ji Siyue, he squinted at her.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Check your Weibo and then give me an answer!"
Although Zhu Zhiyao was extremely sleepy, he still listened to Ji Siyue and obediently took out his phone to open Weibo.
After seeing what was on the phone, he seemed to become wide - awake in an instant. He stopped squinting his eyes.
The whole process lasted about two minutes. Then he stuffed his phone under the pillow and said, "I'll get up at eight to cook for you. Also, I agree to what you said. As long as you want."
"I'm asking if you want to. Don't just do it for me. Do you want to go back?"
Zhu Zhiyao covered himself with the quilt and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."
Ji Siyue smiled, "Okay. Go back to sleep. I'm going to work today. I'll eat in the company. I've already told Qingying."
Zhu Zhiyao got out from under the quilt again, "Then let me drive you to the company?"
"No need. Qingying will pick me up. You've been quite tired these days. Just have a good rest."
Ji Siyue got her computer, phone and other things ready. After receiving a text message, she went out to wait for Qingying.
Two minutes later, Qingying drove Ji Siyue's car from the other side and stopped in front of Ji Siyue. Ji Siyue got into the passenger seat.
Qingying looked at Ji Siyue and said, "Boss, you're not going to make me pick you up for work every day, are you? Your place is in the exact opposite direction from where I live!"
"Is that not okay?" Ji Siyue was looking at the recent company matters sent by Qingying in advance and said, "You can also live in my house. There are many rooms on the first floor. You can stay there."
"Forget it. I don't have the fortune to live in a villa. I can pick you up, but I need you to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"Win the championship."
Hearing this, Ji Siyue stopped typing on the keyboard.
Then, she forced a smile and looked at Qingying, "Do you still want to gossip before work?"
"It's not just gossip! After all, I'm concerned about you, boss! And because of this incident of yours, the company's stock is about to drop. You're really being ridiculed all over the internet now. Some people say that you never finish anything you start and always give up halfway."
Ji Siyue admitted this.
"Yeah, it's my fault. So I'm going to finish this thing first. After that, I'll finish all the things I left undone bit by bit."
"What about your private life?"
"What do you mean?"
"You can't not understand what I mean!"
"Oh, are you asking about the people for the competition? Don't worry. It'll be the original team. I won't let my private life affect the competition. I'll find them all back one by one."
Qingying watched Ji Siyue say these things expressionlessly. Thinking of what Lao Yang had told her, she couldn't help but sigh.
Ji Siyue... had never had a peaceful life. She was always experiencing all kinds of unexpected changes that others couldn't even imagine.
Back at the company, Ji Siyue sat in a wheelchair and asked Qingying to push her up.
"What's the work for today?"
"People from the Asian Group will come to talk to you about a deal this morning. But after our investigation, we think it's not very suitable for cooperation. You can decide for yourself. I'll give you the materials later. There'll be a meeting this afternoon about the turnover of this quarter. Also... today is the delivery date."
Ji Siyue looked up at her, "What delivery date?"
"Don't you remember? You signed a contract with the Qin Group before. Now it's the delivery date of that contract. I've checked it in advance and there's no problem. You can check it yourself later and then make an appointment with the people from the Qin Group for a specific time."
"Okay, let's go."
Ji Siyue worked all day.
She had been idle at home for a long time, and sitting for too long made her legs numb. So this day was especially difficult for her.
Qingying poured a cup of coffee for Ji Siyue, "Can't you handle it already? Do you remember when you had a concussion once and still insisted on going to work in the company?"
"Times have changed. My body is probably useless."
"What are you talking about! Your legs can move. They're just a bit numb. Maybe the nerves haven't recovered well yet. You can't be impatient."
"Rather than this, I might as well just cut them off and put on prosthetics."
Qingying rolled her eyes, "You're just being unreasonable! Okay, tell me, when are you going to hand over with the people from the Qin Group? It'll be off - work time in two hours. Are we going there in person or asking them to send someone here?"
Ji Siyue looked at her watch and said, "Call them to confirm. We'll go there later. We can go off - work directly after the handover."
"Okay, I'll make the call."
After a while, Qingying came back with a rather strange expression on her face.
"Boss, there might be a little accident..."
"What little accident?"
"... We can't hand over this deal for now. Huang Yahai, the person in charge of this deal, just had a serious car accident. He was sent to the First People's Hospital. He's holding the top - secret materials himself. So we won't be able to get them until he wakes up. Do you want to talk to them in person and make another appointment for the time?"
"... Damn it!"
Qingying: "... Actually, you could have acted more real just now."
"Okay. I'm not really bothered. I just think this thing needs to be postponed. Think about how to compensate the other side. I'll call them myself later."
"Okay."
Qingying took the company's public relations department to deal with this matter urgently. Ji Siyue stayed in the office. It took a long time before she took out her phone and called the secretary's office of the Qin Group.
"Hello? Qin Group Secretary's Office."
"Hello? Assistant Zhang?"
"General Manager Ji? Are you here to make an appointment for the time? General Manager Qin has been waiting. You can come directly now." Zhang Qian said directly after hearing Ji Siyue's voice.
Ji Siyue was a bit slow to respond and said, "I'm afraid we can't go now. There's been an accident on our side."
"General Manager Ji, I remember you promised us before the cooperation started that there would be no accidents. If there were, you would have to compensate 10% of the contract price. General Manager Qin also said there was no room for negotiation at that time. We thought your company was very sincere at first, but now... It's hard for me to talk to General Manager Qin, General Manager Ji."
