"Come on, sister Xiaoci, eat more. There are a lot of delicious food here in Hong Kong City, and there are also many foreign dishes. You may not be able to eat them in other places."

"If sister Xiaoci likes it, I'll be the host when you come to Hong Kong City in the future, and I will treat sister Xiaoci to eat as much as you want!"

Lu Li ignored Zhou Ji, sat down next to Yici, and started talking with her.

Yici smiled and said, "Then please trouble Mr. Lu."

"What do you call Mr. Lu? Just call him Brother Lu. Don't be so polite, little sister Xiaoci."

The two came and went, without saying a word of truth, Zhou Ji picked up the fork and silently ate the steak in front of him.

After a meal, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Yici lived in the manor for a few days, almost staying at home, writing plans during the day and teasing Zhouji at night.

The chaos outside Hong Kong City didn't affect her in the slightest.

until--

"injured?"

Yici brought out a glass of water from the kitchen and was about to go upstairs when Zhou came back.

Zhou Ji's clothes were neat, but his face was obviously pale.

Yi Ci leaned against the railing of the stairs, holding the water glass, looked up and down at Zhou Ji, and asked.

Zhou Ji's eyes flickered, and he paused for two seconds before responding, "Yes."

"Did you take the medicine?"

"I've been on it."

"Oh."

Yi Ci took a final look at Zhou Ji, told him to take a good rest, and went upstairs slowly.

Zhou Ji stood where he was, staring at Yici's back in doubt.

She... didn't react right?
So cool.

"Did you make her angry?" Zhou Ji looked at the housekeeper of the manor.

Ms. Butler: "Sir, I am a graduate of the Professional Butler Academy, and I will not engage in behaviors that do not meet the requirements of the industry. You can try to find the root of the problem from yourself."

Zhou Ji: "..."

Is he the hired housekeeper, or the hired boss?

Did he open his eyes the wrong way?Why is everyone targeting him today?
Just as Zhou Ji was about to go upstairs to ask for clarification, his subordinate in a black suit ran into the living room, grabbed Zhou Ji, and ran outside, "Boss! The boat at the pier was burned!"

The wounds on Zhou Ji’s body stabbed——

Cracked.

Zhou Ji: "..."

Why did all the unlucky things happen today?
On the balcony on the second floor, Yici was holding a water glass, sitting on a hanging chair, looking at the messy figures downstairs with great interest.

"My vacation is over in three days, let's make it quick."

"Teacher Zhou, what you have done..." The man in plain clothes stood behind Yici, lowered his head, hesitated, "The superior will criticize you."

"I didn't do anything illegal, what did they criticize me for?" Yici didn't look back, enjoying the midsummer scenery of the manor.

"There are still three days left, how is the task entrusted to you done?"

"It's done." The man made up his mind and finally asked, "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Zhou will alienate you if you do this?"

"That's his business, what does it have to do with me?" Yici stared at the back that was getting further and further away, "I'm tired enough from the usual work, if I still want to be distracted by his wobbling, wouldn't it be even more tiring ? If he wants to grasp it, he will do it himself. If he hesitates, it will be his loss."

The man didn't respond any more, and retreated silently.

Harbor City Pier.

The red flame was burning, and the smoke was billowing.

Thousands of people surrounded the pier, a sea of ​​people, and people continued to squeeze in. The bustle of the big bosses is not common, and no commoner can refuse.

People gossiping.

"Whose family's boat is here, it's all burnt down all at once, probably going bankrupt?"

"Yes! Who doesn't know that these big bosses are doing nothing all day long?"

"It deserves it, let them taste the suffering of our poor family!"

"These boats look weird... If only I could sit on them..."

More than a dozen black cars drove by and stopped at the pier.

Zhou Ji and his subordinates got out of the car and stood at the pier looking at the crazily burning fire not far away.

"Boss, there is no way to save it."

Zhou Ji stared at the fire, not knowing what he was thinking, and the cynicism and ridicule of the crowd watching the excitement squeezed into his ears.

For a moment, he seemed to hear nothing.

The raging fire seemed to be connected to him, burning his 26 years.

Scenes from the past quickly flashed before his eyes like a movie.

He couldn't wait to catch an afterimage.

He tried to tell.

He wants to see clearly.

Then--

He saw a bright figure.

In the fire, it becomes clearer.

Zhou Ji suddenly came back to his senses, the fire in front of his eyes was burning, it was all he had worked hard in Hong Kong City, and it was about to turn into nothingness.

"The boats are all under maintenance, and there should be no casualties." Zhou Ji calmly looked at the person in charge who hurried over, "Is it?"

The person in charge wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhou Ji's sharp eyes, "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, "Go back to the company."

Everyone didn't dare to show their anger, lest Zhou Ji would get angry.

The onlookers laughed and lamented the beauty of the flames.

The convoy drove away and headed for the city.

In the car, the atmosphere was silent.

The co-pilot's subordinate couldn't help comforting Zhou Ji, "Boss, it's a big deal to start all over again, brothers will follow you!"

"That's right, boss, there's no way you don't lose money in business. You're still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future!" The driver couldn't help comforting him.

Zhou Ji looked at the scene outside the car window. Hearing this, he withdrew his gaze, "I'll recommend you to Lu Li after finishing handling the company's affairs in a few days, and he will accept you."

"Boss, don't be too hard on yourself!" The co-pilot's subordinate hurriedly persuaded, "You are still young, don't give up, brothers are planning to follow you!"

"That's right, boss, brothers will be with you forever!"

Zhou Ji sighed slightly, and smiled at the two of them calmly, "Thank you, but this time I took my life and saw a lot, my family is worried about me, if I do such a dangerous thing again , They are afraid that they will deny me."

"boss?"

"You too, do some safe business in the future."

"boss……"

When they arrived at the company, the company's employees were in a mess. The arrival of Zhou Ji fixed the hearts of many people.

"Boss, what about our salary?" In the hall, a group of employees surrounded Zhou Ji and blocked him at the door.

"Today is mainly to pay everyone this month's salary, and to terminate the contract with everyone by the way, and the compensation will be compensated as much as possible." Zhou Ji didn't flinch at all, and his face was pleasant.

The momentum of the surrounding employees weakened in an instant, as if they felt somewhat unreasonable and unforgiving guilt.

"Boss, we are not making things difficult for you. We are already very happy that you are willing to pay us wages. As for the compensation, we don't want..."

The leading employee took a step back. They just wanted the last month's salary. After all, all the company's boats were destroyed, and the company would have to pay a lot of money to its partners, so it must not be able to support it.The boss usually treats them well, but if they make trouble again, they will really have no conscience.

"Yes, we don't want it!"

"Hey, why..."

"The compensation will not be less." Zhou Ji's brows and eyes stretched, and his voice was clear, "The compensation stipulated in the contract is what everyone deserves, and the company will compensate in full."
