The office of the CEO of Li's Group Headquarters.

"Dong dong dong."

After knocking three times politely, Simon pushed the door open and walked in, gently placing the freshly brewed black coffee on Li Jie's left hand side.

The luxurious and spacious desk is full of design drawings, project cost books and several stacks of annual financial statements of the various branches of the Li Group.

Sitting on the black leather swivel executive chair, Li Jie's face was sinking like water, his facial lines were slightly tense due to his high concentration, and the soft light from the eye protection desk lamp poured on his thin side face that seemed to be carved out with a knife.

Li Jie scanned the documents waiting for approval at a glance, approve or reject was only a second decision for him.

He took a sip of coffee while signing in a fluttering manner, and then his eyebrows frowned.

Simon noticed this detail, and asked a little nervously: "Mr. Li, is my coffee brewed wrong?"

Li Jie's eyes finally moved away from the pile of documents, and he glanced at the coffee cup in his hand. After a few seconds, he calmly said: "It's too bitter!"

what? !!

Simon, who has always been eloquent, opened his mouth slightly before he could catch up with it.

It took only an instant for him to realize that he was speechless, so he quietly shut his mouth tightly again.

Simon was very surprised in his heart, thinking that Mr. Li, a serious lover who always only drank black coffee, would still find it bitter?Am I making it too strong or has his taste faded?Could it be that Mr. Li has a problem with my recent work performance?

Just when Simon was thinking wildly, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of Li Jie's mouth slightly raised, and there was a gentle look on his face.

Simon: "???"

Li Jie chuckled, and said to himself: "Every time she makes coffee for me, she puts a cube of sugar in it."

Simon: "!!!"

Fortunately, it was a false alarm! Simon's hanging heart finally fell steadily, and he exhaled inaudibly.

Simon knew in his heart that there was no one other than Gu Meng who could make his immediate boss show such a warm side, but he still asked knowingly, "President Li, are you talking about Ms. Gu?"

Li Jie smirked, and when he heard Gu Meng's name, the corners of his eyes curled into a beautiful arc.

Simon helped the sycophant take the opportunity to sigh: "Miss Gu is so nice to Mr. Li that I have nothing to say!"

Hearing this, Li Jie suppressed the smile on his face, leaned back on the back of the chair, put his elbows on the armrests on both sides, crossed his ten fingers, and crossed his two long legs.

His originally tender gaze instantly turned cold when he touched Simon's ingratiating face: "You made a mistake!"

Simon's little heart hung again.

Li Jie sized up Simon for a while, and said proudly, "It's you, President Li, who is so nice to Gu Meng that I have nothing to say to her, that she sneakily puts sugar in my coffee."

Simon: "..."

Simon hurriedly changed the subject and gently reminded: "President Li, you have been working continuously for nearly fourteen hours today."

He showed embarrassment: "If Madam finds out..."

The second half of the sentence "I can't eat and walk around" was blocked by Li Jie's sharp eyes before he could say it.

"I will finish approving these documents tonight, and I won't come to the company tomorrow." Li Jie straightened up again, took another folder and spread it out for review.

Simon bowed and backed out.

As soon as Assistant Simon closed the office door, he released his sad eyes.

As he walked back, he cursed: I said that Mr. Li stayed and worked overtime for the first time today like a chicken blood. What, he wanted to give himself a vacation.

What Simon didn't know was that Li Jie originally planned to start his vacation a week in advance, and he wanted to take Gu Meng to travel abroad before the Spring Festival.

These days Li Jie has been busy with projects, and rarely has time to accompany Gu Meng.

Although he has asked the team to work overtime to catch up with the progress, but the plate is too big, and there are always various problems emerging one after another, causing his vacation plan to be delayed again and again.

So this morning, Li Jie got up immediately after tossing Gu Meng.

He went to the company to work at six o'clock, and he wanted to take advantage of the time when Gu Meng went out to play with Gu Rufeng at night to deal with the urgent matters at hand, so that he could accompany Gu Meng tomorrow with peace of mind.

It's just that Li Jie doesn't know that Gu Meng is now with Lu Zijian.

Lu Zijian's left hand rested on the armrest of the sofa in the KTV hall, and two slender fingers were holding thin smoke. The white smoke floated into the air, and finally disappeared in the orange halo emitted by the crystal chandelier in the hall.

Actually, there were two people that Gu Meng couldn't "say goodbye" to before leaving: one was Sheng Xuemei, and the other was Lu Zijian.

Gu Meng felt pure guilt towards Sheng Xuemei, but her feelings towards Lu Zijian were much more complicated.

Gu Meng looked at Lu Zijian's silhouette from a distance, and those memories related to Lu Zijian flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, and she didn't come back to herself until she saw the cigarette in Lu Zijian's hand was almost burned out.

Gu Meng stepped forward and called him, "Brother Lu."

Under the joint stimulation of various memories and emotions, Gu Meng's voice is extraordinarily gentle and soft, like a trickle in a quiet mountain.

Lu Zijian snuffed out the smoke and exhaled the last smoke ring.

He raised his head and stared sideways at Gu Meng, there seemed to be a thousand words in the sparkling eyes under the light, but when he stood up, he only uttered two words: "Let's go!"
