Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 636 The Studio
At noon the next day, Wang Zhaojun finally returned to City B, but when he got home, he heard that Zhuge Liang was on a business trip.

She asked Ning Xin: "How long has he been away?"

"His job is always on a business trip. It's a few days short, or a few months long. It's not sure. By the way, do you have something to do with your brother?"

"Just ask." Wang Zhaojun frowned, "Brother, can you stop talking so affectionately?"

Ning Xin received Wang Zhaojun's gift of filial piety, and when she was in a good mood, she didn't bother with her: "He is my son now, so naturally it is your brother."

"Haha, it's really touching that the stepmother treats you like this." Wang Zhaojun went upstairs listlessly, waving his hands with his back to Wen Qin, "But don't take me with you."

Wang Zhaojun didn't go back to his room, but went to Zhuge Liang's studio first.

Things in the studio are very messy, but they are also spotlessly clean.

On the easel is a sketch of a person who has just started, very rough, and it can only be seen that it is a woman.

She walked over, sat on tiptoe on the chair in front of the easel, and put the drawing board and brushes she brought him on the table next to him.

She looked at the person on the drawing paper: who is this?His ex-girlfriend, crush, or someone else?

She turned over the drawing paper, and the bottom was all white paper, and there were no other works.

She thought for a while, took out her mobile phone and dialed his number.

The call was quickly connected, and Zhuge Liang asked in his usual impatient tone: "What's the matter?"

Wang Zhaojun was also asking himself: What can I do with him?

Hearing her silence, Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Oh, no...no...it's all right. It's just...just...it's your stepmother. Ms. Ning insists on asking me when you can come back."

Zhuge Liang seemed to smile: "Really?"

I can't say why, but when he heard him ask this question, Wang Zhaojun's heart beat wildly a few times.

"No...no...otherwise?"

"No...no...otherwise you care about me."

He actually imitated her!
"you……"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I can't tell, maybe a month."

"Oh……"

"How was your trip to Japan?"

"I went to a meeting and didn't play."

"That's right. Yuan Ge likes to put on airs of leadership too much. It's definitely not free to go out with him."

Wang Zhaojun said lazily, "I went alone."

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and after a while, Wang Zhaojun heard someone calling Zhuge Liang.

She had no choice but to say, "Go and do your work."

"Well, hang up first."

……

After this day, Wang Zhaojun didn't see Yuan Ge again for a long time because she was "on leave".

The company attaches great importance to the exhibition, and the boss was also furious by the embarrassment of the video. The meeting that day was to call out Wang Zhaojun who was in charge of the video. Later, Yuan Ge was scolded bloody by the boss because he tried to protect Wang Zhaojun. head.

The final compromise between the two parties was that Wang Zhaojun was suspended until the culprit was found.

Wang Zhaojun spent half a month at home in a daze.

It happened that Zhuge Gui was on a business trip during this period, and Ning Xin went to other places to perform. She was often the only one at home, so when someone suddenly opened the door with a key, she still couldn't remember it.

She stood on the stairs and watched Zhuge Liang walk in with a light suitcase. As soon as she entered the door, she looked up at her on the second floor.

Zhuge Liang went back to the room and tidied up briefly, and when he went downstairs, he found Wang Zhaojun sitting in the living room watching TV.

He walked over and sat beside her.

"The gift is nice."

"Did you see it?" She glanced back at him lazily, and continued to watch TV listlessly.

"Well, I just saw it in the studio."

While talking, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of a question: Today is not the weekend, why does she have time to watch TV at home?

"Why didn't you go to work today?"

Wang Zhaojun changed channels boredly: "Maybe I don't have to go in the future."

"how?"

After holding back for half a month, it was rare to find someone she could talk to, and she didn't care who the other party was.

She threw the TV remote control aside, and said dejectedly: "I messed up a very important exhibition. It is said that a design institute that originally planned to cooperate with us for a long time is now planning to withdraw."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Just because of this?"

Wang Zhaojun nodded.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Have you been fired?"

"It's almost the same, suspended."

Zhuge Liang was used to the domineering Wang Zhaojun, but this was the first time he saw her so quiet.

He couldn't help laughing: "Why is it like a rooster who has lost a fight? Suspension is usually only temporary."

Wang Zhaojun sighed: "You don't need to comfort me, actually I don't really care, I just don't want to hurt others."

"Which 'other', Yuan Ge?"

Zhuge Liang took out the cigarette case, squinted his eyes and lit the cigarette, "You really don't have to worry about him, he is just under one person in your company now, right? The boss is still pointing at him to make money for himself, so he won't be punished." of."

Wang Zhaojun looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Really?"

Zhuge Liang slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "Don't believe me? Just wait and see!"

It's not that Wang Zhaojun didn't think of this before, but he was still somewhat worried.

But now Zhuge Liang, the "bystander", is so determined, which makes her feel at ease.

Wang Zhaojun smiled: "I hope you are right."

Zhuge Liang looked at her with raised eyebrows: "You like him that much?"

Here it comes again... Wang Zhaojun's smile that just opened suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang didn't continue this topic anymore, and after silently smoking a cigarette, he got up and went upstairs.

Wang Zhaojun called him to stop: "Hey, are you still leaving?"

"Not leaving for now."

"In the next few days, it may be just the two of us at home."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows: "So?"

"Nobody cooks!"

"What do you eat while I'm away?"

"self catering."

Zhuge Liang nodded knowingly: "I didn't expect you to be able to cook, keep it up."

Wang Zhaojun curled his lips: "I knew you would say that. Forget it, I don't care about it with you. What do you want to eat tonight?"

There was a smile on the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth, but he thought about it, and then looked at the time: "Today is not enough, I may have something to do later." It was rare for her to offer an olive branch, but she was rejected.

She said nonchalantly: "I just asked casually."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.

……

When Wang Zhaojun went upstairs after watching TV, he heard Zhuge Liang was locked in his room and on the phone.

When she came out of the room after playing two games, the call hadn't finished yet.

She went to the kitchen to wash the vegetables and cook. He finally ended the call and went to take a shower.

When her meal was almost done, he also took a shower, put on fresh clothes and went out.

Zhuge Liang didn't greet her before he left, and she pretended not to see her, hiding in the kitchen and putting the freshly fried vegetables on the plate.

She didn't look out the window until she heard the sound of the car engine starting downstairs.

Seeing the car downstairs going away, she couldn't help guessing curiously: Is there something wrong with being so flirtatious?

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang didn't come back very late that night.

When Wang Zhaojun washed up and lay on the bed, he was still thinking that his guess should be true, otherwise he would not go out on a date as soon as he came back, and he would have to dress up before the date, and...she glanced at it in a daze The time on the phone... Maybe he won't be back tonight.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhaojun went downstairs with sleepy eyes, unexpectedly seeing Zhuge Liang sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

She couldn't help being taken aback, but seeing his radiant look, she was even more convinced that her guess was right: it seems that some people had a good time last night.

She walked over to sit opposite him, and Zhuge Liang poured her a glass of milk in a very gentlemanly manner.

Wang Zhaojun asked him tentatively, "How was last night?"

"good."

Wang Zhaojun then asked, "How is the other party?"

He said lightly: "Very cooperative."

Wang Zhaojun, who had never been in a serious relationship before, did not expect to hear such fierce news early in the morning, and couldn't help swallowing: "Then...then...then why did you come back?"

Zhuge Liang gave her a puzzled look: "Where will I go if I don't come back?"

"Too……"

Anyway, he, Zhuge Liang, is also a person of status... On the first day after returning from a business trip, he really couldn't go to work with a tired face that hadn't passed the night.

Wang Zhaojun was thinking about it, when a cold question suddenly came from above his head: "What are you thinking with your frowning face?"

She looked up and found that Zhuge Liang had finished eating and stood up.

"go to work?"

"Ah."

Wang Zhaojun waved his hand: "Go all the way."

Zhuge Liang hooked the corner of his mouth: "Treasure your vacation well."

This made Wang Zhaojun feel melancholy: Every day is a holiday, what is there to cherish!
……

After Zhuge Liang left, she called Da Qiao to inquire about the company.

Da Qiao was a little surprised: "Your call came in a timely manner, did you get any rumors?"

"What do you mean?"

"There hasn't been much progress on this matter in the past, but the boss called a meeting with the leaders of several departments early this morning to discuss your affairs. Maybe the boss has calmed down and said that although your mistake is low-level, it is not serious. As for being fired, let you come back to work."

"Really?"

"Well, you should receive a notification from the personnel department in the next two days."

"What about the design institute that planned to cooperate with us for a long time before, is it still planning to cooperate with us?"

"Of course we cooperate!"

"what's going on?"

Da Qiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "It seems that Mr. Yuan has an acquaintance over there, he must have gone to look for it. Since the other party doesn't care, the boss will make a big deal out of it!"

"Is that so..." Wang Zhaojun murmured.

"Why, aren't you happy?"

Wang Zhaojun sighed: "It's not like you don't know who Mr. Yuan is. He doesn't like favors and relationships the most."

But he did it for her.

Wang Zhaojun didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Da Qiao said with a smile: "It's different for you, you are an exception."

"Why am I an exception?"

"Hey, I've wanted to say it for a long time, Mr. Yuan really treats you differently."

Hearing Da Qiao's words, Wang Zhaojun's heart thumped a few times: "Don't...don't...don't...nonsense!"

Da Qiao laughed loudly on the other side of the phone: "Look how nervous you are! I was just joking."

Wang Zhaojun was annoyed: "You still think you don't gossip about me enough!"

"Alright, alright, I know!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhaojun found that there was an unread text message in his mobile phone. He clicked on it and saw that it was from Zhuge Liang: "I'll go home for dinner tonight."

Wang Zhaojun frowned and thought about it, what does this mean?She replied: "Wrong post?"

"No."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's take turns cooking. I cook breakfast, and you come for dinner."

No wonder he was so kind this morning, so he was waiting for her here!But she is in a good mood today and doesn't care about him.

……

When Zhuge Liang came in at night, Wang Zhaojun was choosing and washing vegetables in the kitchen.

He originally thought that Wang Zhaojun would find an excuse to refuse, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.

He stood outside the kitchen door and watched for a while. She was wearing solid-color home clothes, an apron with orange floral prints around her neck, and her ponytail was tied low behind her head. She looked very gentle and peaceful.

illusion.

He told himself that what the eyes see may not be the truth.

Only then did Wang Zhaojun notice that he was back, and when he saw him, he frowned: "Come and help."

Zhuge Liang went upstairs casually: "I'm tired, I have to take a shower first."

Wang Zhaojun twitched his lips. This man is really good. There is nothing pleasing about him.

After a while, Zhuge Liang finally took a shower and went downstairs.

The mint smell of the shower gel hits the face.

Wang Zhaojun lowered his head to wash the vegetables, but did not speak.

Zhuge Liang took out a tomato from the plastic bag on the stove and rinsed it under the running faucet.

Wang Zhaojun didn't stop him, she watched him as long as he rushed.

Look at his strong forearm, his white skin that is almost transparent, a blue blood vessel spreads underneath like a river in the valley.

After washing the tomatoes, he flicked the water by the pool, picked them up and took a bite.

Tomatoes are still fresh and juicy.

He sucked it unnaturally before taking it away, watching her while chewing, swallowing slightly, his Adam's apple rolling.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Eat your tomato, as for what!"

Wang Zhaojun only felt a heat in his nasal cavity, and when he looked up again, Zhuge Liang's expression had gradually changed from disdain to surprise.

Warm liquid flowed out of the nasal cavity, Wang Zhaojun stretched out his hand to wipe it, but saw big drops of bright red on his hands and on the floor.

She quickly raised her head, Zhuge Liang was also a little anxious, and helped her to wash her face by the sink: "What's going on?"

Wang Zhaojun felt a little ashamed, but fortunately she was witty enough, and lied, "It's been a good... good... good... several times."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he said, "This won't work. You have to go to the hospital."

Wang Zhaojun patted his forehead with ice water: "No need, it's nothing serious."

"No, even if it's nothing serious, you'll still be anemic."

……

On Monday, the sky finally cleared up.

It snowed heavily the night before, and everything was white.

On this day, Wang Zhaojun received a call from the company's personnel department, asking her to reinstate immediately.

That afternoon, she returned to the company to report.Her colleagues greeted her as if nothing had happened. Da Qiao was overjoyed to see her: "You're back!"

Wang Zhaojun smiled: "Missing me so much?"

"of course!"

"I don't know mine until I'm not here, right?"

Da Qiao nodded seriously: "When you were here, I really didn't realize how useful you are. As soon as you left, you immediately became one of the three mountains on my shoulders..."

Wang Zhaojun glared at Joe with feigned anger.

"But you came back just right this time. From today onwards, you will follow the project reports of this design institute." Da Qiao whispered to Zhaojun winkingly, "This is the big cake we almost lost."

Wang Zhaojun took it and took a look at it——Shu Group Design and Research Institute.

Da Qiao gave a lot of project information, and Wang Zhaojun hadn't finished reading it since the afternoon until the evening.

She stretched out and went to pour a cup of coffee. She originally wanted to go back and continue "reading at night", but unexpectedly she met Yuan Ge, who had not been seen all day.

Yuan Ge had just returned from an advertiser's place. He took some documents from the office and was about to leave. As soon as he went out, he met Wang Zhaojun who was holding coffee.

In fact, he already knew that she would come back to work today, so he was not surprised to see her.

He glanced at the coffee in her hand and said, "Drink less, it's not good for your stomach."

Wang Zhaojun glanced at him, as if he didn't hear what he said, but he didn't intend to leave either.

Yuan Ge had a premonition that she had something to say, so he waited cooperatively for her to speak.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the coffee in her hand and was silent for a few seconds, then Fang raised her head to look at him again: "Yes... yes... is it... you?"

Yuan Ge was stunned: "What?"

"I can come back to work again, is... because of you?"

Yuan Ge watched her silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice was flat, without any waves: "No, it's your luck."

In fact, as early as the moment she spoke, she had already guessed that even if he really did something for her, he would definitely not admit it.

really……

She nodded, oh.

Yuan Ge sighed softly: "Have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

"Losing weight? You're already thin enough."

Wang Zhaojun smiled helplessly: "I... am not hungry at all."

Yuan Ge raised his hand to check the time, took the coffee cup in her hand and put it on the table nearby: "Let's go and have something to eat together."

Wang Zhaojun was surprised: "Didn't you eat?"

Yuan Ge had already walked towards the elevator, and when he looked back at her, his expression was a little tired: "I'm just patronizing to drink."

At this time, only the 24-hour fast food restaurant downstairs is still open.

The two casually ordered something and sat down by the window. After a while, the people at the table other than them also paid and left.Wang Zhaojun suddenly felt a little cramped.

She glanced out the window at a loss, but saw Yuan Ge's handsome profile on the windowpane.

She knew she shouldn't, but her eyes couldn't help but stop on the shadow and couldn't move away for a long time.

As if feeling her gaze, he raised his eyes and met her gaze in the shadow of the upper window.

This time, he didn't even give her a polite and distant smile, but just looked away indifferently.

Wang Zhaojun suddenly realized cruelly that perhaps, her liking for him had become something that bothered him. Compared with those gossips, she was the hurt he couldn't avoid the most, and it might be best to let go of this relationship choose.

However, she was not reconciled.Even if she wanted her to give up, she still had to hear it from his mouth.

She gently twirled the tea cup in her hand and said slowly: "I... never knew you had a girlfriend."

Yuan Ge looked at her: "I know."

After these words, both of them were silent for a moment.

Yuan Ge continued: "At first I didn't realize what impact it would have if you knew or didn't know about it. But when I realized it, I began to hesitate again, not sure how to say it better. So... it's all me wrong."

Wang Zhaojun watched him finish speaking for a long time, lowered his eyes in disappointment, and gently shook the teacup in his hand.
