Not long after, Huo Jingcheng had something to do and had to leave the villa.

Zhu Jin sat on the bed and ate all the seafood porridge brought by the other party. Then he got up to wash up and used concealer to cover the exposed red marks.

By the time she arrived at the company, all her colleagues had gone to eat and take a lunch break.

The entire design department was empty.

Zhu Jin put down his bag, got up and made himself a cup of iced American coffee.

The faint aroma of coffee floats in the tea room.

When she came back with a glass full of American food, she saw a slightly embarrassed person standing in front of her work station.

Zhu Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You are……"

"Hello." The girl seemed to be frightened by these words, and she couldn't hold the things in her hands firmly and dropped them to the ground.

Zhu Jin looked down following the sound and saw an exquisite and small gift box lying on the ground.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry, I, I'm timid." The girl bent down and bowed at 90 degrees. She bit her lower lip and handed the gift box in her hand to Zhu Jin, "I, I know today is your birthday, and this is for you. Your birthday present.”

Zhu Jin was startled.

Although she knew that the basic information of Huo Group's employees was interconnected and everyone could view it, she did not expect to receive a gift from others, especially a colleague who was not familiar with her.

"I thank you for your kindness, and I appreciate it, but..."

Zhu Jin paused. She didn't want to accept something from a colleague she didn't know at all.

"We don't seem to know each other?"

"Ah?" The girl raised her head in surprise, and then Zhu Jin saw her face.

It turns out to be her!

Zhu Jin thought it was a strange colleague he didn't know, but now he was sure that the other person was a member of his group.

The girl was kind enough to sit next to Nursery Rhyme at the last meal.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jin remembered that last night, he was kind enough not to reply to nursery rhyme's message.

Zhu Jin hurriedly put down the ice cream in his hand, took out his mobile phone, and searched for last night's messages. He didn't forget to look back, "Wait a minute, I had a message that I forgot to reply to."

The little girl stood there blankly, just nodding her head.

On the screen of the phone was a message sent later by the other party.

[Thank you for giving me such a good project. I will definitely complete it seriously. 】

[I have a heartfelt request, I hope you can help. 】

[Of course, you can refuse. I have a friend named Ke Xinyi. She is shy and introverted, so she is more likely to be bullied by others in the group. I hope you can agree with me to work with her. 】

Cooperation?

Zhu Jin gently tapped the table twice with his hand, thoughtfully.

Does the other party really want to cooperate, or does it have other agendas?

Zhu Jin typed in the dialog box for a long time, but in the end he didn't reply, but left a brief "hmm" message.

[However, I have to ask the person you are talking about first to confirm whether he agrees. 】

After replying to the message, Zhu Jin raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be motionless.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Team Leader Zhu, my name is Ke Xinyi, and I wish you a happy birthday." Ke Xinyi finished speaking in one breath, and quickly delivered the gift she had prepared. She lowered her head and did not dare to meet Zhu Jin's eyes.

Zhu Jin was confused by her series of words, and it took him a while to react.

"Thank you."

Zhu Jin took the gift from her hand.

Ke Xinyi turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhu Jin stopped her.

"Wait a moment."

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ke Xinyi asked nervously, grabbing her collar.

Zhu Jin put the gift aside and pointed to the empty seat next to him, "Are you free? Let's talk?"

Ke Xinyi bit her lower lip and nodded, then sat down next to Zhu Jin obediently and without any resistance.

There wasn't much expression on her face, but her tight clenched clothes could actually reflect her nervousness.

"Do you know the nursery rhymes?"

Ke Xinyi nodded, "Yes, we know each other."

"What's wrong with the nursery rhymes?" Ke Xinyi asked cautiously.

Zhu Jin put one hand on the table and tapped twice, "She hopes you can collaborate with her on design. What do you think?"

While speaking, Zhu Jin's eyes did not forget to fall on Ke Xinyi, watching her expression and movements.

Ke Xinyi paused, seemingly not too surprised.

"sure."

After answering, she seemed to have thought of something again, and looked at Zhu Jin with hesitation and testing in her eyes.

"I wish team leader, if we can't cooperate, we can also design it ourselves. Don't be embarrassed..."

"Did you want to cooperate with her, or did she force you to answer like this?" Zhu Jin asked.

Ke Xinyi seemed confused by her question, "Huh? What kind of compulsion?"

"Yaoyao and I have a very good relationship." Ke Xinyi explained stammeringly, "We are in the same major and the same dormitory at university. We often have group tasks. We collect materials together and design together."

"Yaoyao told the previous team leader before, but she didn't agree."

"If you can, I hope you can agree. But if it embarrasses you, I am here to say sorry to you on Yaoyao's behalf."

Zhu Jin pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "That's not what I meant, don't worry."

Ke Xinyi looked at her in confusion. When Zhu Jin met her eyes, he felt as if all the words he could say were stuck in his throat at this moment. It took him a long time to utter a word.

"I have to think about this again."

Zhu Jin did not agree immediately.

As a new team leader, she still didn't understand many things.

"Oh oh oh." Ke Xinyi obviously didn't know what to say, and she looked awkward.

"You go back first." Zhu Jin paused and smiled, "By the way, I like the gift you gave me very much."

Ke Xinyi's eyes suddenly sparkled with light. She smiled and nodded, "Yeah!"

After everyone left, Zhu Jin opened the gift box.

There is a bracelet in the box. It seems to be made of silver, and the gemstone on it is crystal. Although the price is not high, it can be seen that the maker put a lot of thought into it.

Zhu Jin looked back and forth several times before putting the bracelet back into the gift box.

She submitted the task arrangement form and the tasks she chose and sent them to General Manager Zhao.

Zhu Jin did not wait for Cheng Zhizhi, but instead waited for the sneaky Zuo Hongwen.

"Team Leader Zhu, you are finally here." Zuo Hongwen smiled and stuffed a heavy box into Zhu Jin's hand.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jin did not reach out to pick it up, but took a step back to avoid the other party's movements.

Zuo Hongwen said, "Oh, team leader, today is your birthday, I understand. Isn't this a birthday gift for you? I hope you can take more care of me in the future."

Zhu Jin's brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly.

Judging from the habits of getting along these days, the things Zuo Hongwen is holding are probably not cheap.

If he had accepted it, he would have jumped into the Yellow River and not been able to clean himself.
