After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

The candlelight dinner that Zhu Jin envisioned came to nothing because Huo Jingcheng came back late.

She didn't know until she got home that Huo Jingcheng would stay in the hospital for two more hours today.

Zhu Jin originally wanted to go to the hospital, but was told by Assistant Chen that Huo Jingcheng's health restoration was confidential, so he could not take Zhu Jin there. She had no choice but to give up and read the book she had bought at the ghost market in the study. , strive to scan it into an e-book after restoration for successful dissemination and storage.

When she felt tired and planned to take a rest, she realized that the time had reached eleven o'clock in the evening.

Zhu Jin rubbed his sore neck, checked the success of today's recovery for the last time and saved it before turning off the phone, getting up and going downstairs.

Downstairs, Huo Jingcheng was sitting on the sofa, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting.

Zhu Jinfang moved lightly, but was still discovered by Huo Jingcheng.

"Are you done?" Huo Jingcheng asked.

Zhu Jin walked to the kitchen and filled a glass of warm water, then walked out and sat on the sofa next to Huo Jingcheng, "Well, I just finished processing it. And you, you just came back too?"

Huo Jingcheng nodded and stretched out his hand.

Zhu Jin stretched out his water glass towards the other party, but Huo Jingcheng only shook his head in rejection.

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Jin asked.

Huo Jingcheng shook his head again.

Zhu Jin stood up and took two steps toward the person, intending to test whether the person was feeling unwell.

As a result, she stretched out her hand in mid-air, and her whole body was directly embraced into her arms, and a faint fragrance hit her nostrils.

His whole body was wrapped in warmth, and Zhu Jin could hear Huo Jingcheng's beating heart.

Any more words were choked in the throat by a hug.

There were only two of them in the villa at the moment, and no one else would disturb them.

"Are you tired from rebuilding today?" Zhu Jin asked.

Huo Jingcheng hummed a simple monosyllable from his nasal voice, "Yeah."

"Then go to bed early tonight?"

Huo Jingcheng buried his face in the other person's neck and took a deep breath of the other person's fragrance. "Go back later. Let me hold you for a while."

Zhu Jin patted Huo Jingcheng's back gently.

Neither of them spoke anymore.

……

For the next few days, when Zhu Jin woke up, Huo Jingcheng was gone.

Before, she could ride in the same car with him to go to work, but recently Huo Jingcheng was basically out the door before she woke up.

He came back even later than she did at night, and sometimes Zhu Jin didn't come back even when he was asleep.

Zhu Jin could only confirm that the other party had come back by smelling the familiar smell while he was half asleep and half awake.

This also made Zhu Jin delay and delay his original intention to find out information about his ex-fiancée from Huo Jingcheng.

There is no result until now.

Zhu Jin did not focus all her energy on her so-called ex-fiancée. She was busy repairing and restoring the ancient book, and discussing the jewelry process with Lao Li Tou.

"Zhu Jin, come to the office." General Manager Zhao called to the design department.

Zhu Jin, who had just replied to Lao Li Tou, saying that he would go to the workshop in the afternoon to see the final results, raised his head and responded.

In General Manager Zhao's office.

General Manager Zhao was sitting at the tea table, personally helping to make and pour the tea before serving it in front of her.

"Best wishes to the designer, you should know that in addition to receiving private orders, each group needs to design a piece of jewelry that can be sold every year, right?"

Zhu Jin nodded, "Yeah, I know. You mean, it's our turn to form a team recently?"

In addition to the chief designer, the three teams in the design department basically submit a team design every four months.

This design will be sold on the market as a general merchandiser.

The annual commission distributed by the group is also divided from the amount of jewelry sold by Tongtong.

"Yes. Next month, your group needs to submit jewelry for the next quarter."

Zhu Jin frowned, "Next month? Doesn't it usually require advance notice?"

General Manager Zhao touched the tip of his nose with a smile, "You also know that before you joined the company, there was another team leader in your group, and she knew about this matter. I thought she should have handled this matter well before leaving. of."

She was completely unaware of this matter and had never heard it from anyone else.

Seeing Zhu Jin's ugly face, General Manager Zhao remembered the second master's previous reminder. Even in the cool air-conditioned room, he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Don't your team know?" General Manager Zhao asked.

"I'm not sure." Zhu Jin said truthfully.

If this really happened, others might not say it, but Cheng Zhizhi would definitely tell herself in advance.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the former team member did not distribute this task at all.

To complete a series of jewelry designs within this month, even a small team of people would have an extremely heavy workload.

"This……"

General Manager Zhao also became entangled.

He couldn't just hand over this task to another group, that would be too partial.

And with his current position and power, he cannot delay Huo's new product launch for too long, otherwise the people above him will definitely have objections.

General Manager Zhao couldn't help but regret that he had forgotten to ask more questions before, and now he was in a dilemma.

"Can you help postpone it for half a month?" Zhu Jin asked.

"You mean your team will be able to submit it in one and a half months?"

Zhu Jin pondered for a moment.

The team's tasks for this quarter have almost come to an end, and I don't have any design tasks recently. I just have time. I can submit them as soon as I can, but at most I will have to work a few extra days.

"Okay." Zhu Jin promised, "Just give it another half month."

General Manager Zhao hesitated and wanted to move the time forward, but when someone's face flashed in his mind, he chose not to be vague and agreed immediately, for fear that he would suffer if he was a step too late.

"Okay, half a month then."

When Zhu Jin sat back at his desk, he immediately asked what happened.

Cheng Zhizhi bit the straw and tilted her head, "Huh? What series of jewelry? Our group is not that early, right? Besides, don't we always tell the group leader in advance..."

As she said that, Cheng Zhizhi paused, her eyes widened, "Wait a minute. You don't want to tell me. General Manager Zhao said it before, but the previous team leader didn't tell us, right?"

Zhu Jin nodded.

Cheng Zhizhi's pupils dilated, and she immediately took out her phone and started checking the time. Finally, her mouth opened so wide that she dropped the straw.

"It's over, it's over. Why is there only one month left?"

"We don't know, and she didn't tell us. Oh my God, she couldn't have done it on purpose!"

Cheng Zhizhi grabbed Zhu Jin's wrist anxiously, "Jin Jin, come with me to the general manager's office quickly, and I will testify for you. This matter is really the fault of the former team leader! She didn't notify her at all, and neither did our team members." Without any information, this can be used as evidence.”

Seeing that she was so worried about herself, Zhu Jin felt warm in her heart. She patted the back of Cheng Zhizhi's hand to calm her down before telling her what had just happened in full.
