When mentioning her relationship with Fang Yu, Zheng Yao looked away guiltily.

It was clear from Song Mai's eyes that she had noticed it, which made Zheng Yao feel uneasy.

"We are just ordinary colleagues, not that good."

Song Mai looked confused, then nodded mercilessly:

"Really? But the last time I met you guys at a restaurant with my husband, you were arm in arm and looked so close."

When Lin Ran heard this, he immediately became interested and his eyes lit up.

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It happened a while ago. There were so many things going on during that time that I forgot."

Zheng Yao originally wanted to come to get information, but at this moment she felt like she was the one being talked about. This feeling made her feel uneasy, and she smiled awkwardly.

"It's just a good relationship, it's nothing."

Fearing that Song Mai and Lin Ran would continue asking questions, she quickly interrupted them.

"By the way, why did you suddenly ask for such a long leave? Are you not feeling well? Or is there something going on at home?"

She asked the last few words tentatively, with a hint of expectation in her heart.

Song Mai saw what she was thinking at a glance.

"Are you hoping that I'm not feeling well, or that something's wrong at home?"

Her words were so sharp that Zheng Yao's expression changed immediately.

"what do you mean?"

Song Mai shrugged.

"Literally, I want to ask you what you mean by that. You didn't stay at your own place, but came to eavesdrop on me. Now you can't eavesdrop, but now you want to ask me. Zheng Yao, how much do you hope that I'm not well?"

The woman was frank and direct, and brought Zheng Yao's shady little thoughts out into the open, which made it impossible for Zheng Yao to maintain her fake smile any longer.

She glared at Song Mai with rage, and her pretty face looked a little hideous.

"Song Mai, what do you mean by that? I came here with good intentions to care about you, but you made such malicious assumptions about me! It's really insulting!"

Looking at Zheng Yao's serious expression while talking nonsense, Lin Ran couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You know whether it is malicious speculation or not."

Song Mai no longer had the patience to argue with her.

"Taking leave is my personal matter. There is no need to tell you that we have a bad relationship. I don't want to tell you, and I don't need your concern. You can leave now."

Zheng Yao was so embarrassed that she left in a rage, filled with rage.

Lin Ran kept staring at Song Mai until Song Mai felt a little creepy because she looked at him as if he were a stranger.

"what happened?"

"I feel like I don't know you anymore. When did you become so strong? I love you so much!"

Lin Ran always felt that Song Mai had too good a temper and was easy to talk to everyone. Many times, he even didn't know how to fight back when he was bullied.

Recently she also noticed changes in Song Mai, but it was not until this moment that she realized that perhaps she had never really known Song Mai.

Song Mai smiled and said, "It has always been like this, but I just didn't want to cause trouble before. You also know my situation, so I'd rather avoid trouble if possible."

But later she discovered that it wasn't that things would get better if she didn't pursue them or care about them, but it was precisely because she didn't fight back or express her opinion that those who wanted to harm her thought she was too easy to bully, and that's why they harmed her over and over again.

Instead, he straightened his back and fought back with confidence, which made those people feel intimidated.

After get off work, Song Mai went straight to the supermarket and bought a lot of things before going home.

Her short vacation was about to begin, which made her feel very happy.

She quickly packed her luggage and prepared the vegetables she had bought earlier. After she finished all this, Chu Xing had not returned yet.

Song Mai looked at the setting sun, made himself a pot of tea and placed it on the stone table in the yard, then rolled up his trouser legs and continued to tidy up the untied vegetable patch.

She is willing to live like this for the rest of her life.

Compared with Song Mai's leisure, Chu Xing is much busier.

The extra work that resulted from the week he had forcibly freed up was now piling up on his desk.

Even when it was time to get off work, there were still a lot left.

Special Assistant Lu stood aside and watched the man patiently flipping through a new document, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A man in love has endless energy...

It's been a whole day and he has no intention of stopping, as if he doesn't feel tired at all.

Song Mai waited until it was completely dark but Chu Xing still didn't come back. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Meanwhile, the man was having his last meeting of the day.

"I will be away next week. Please report to me if anything happens. The marketing department will continue to follow up on the acquisition plan. The project book for cooperation with Country M is still not good enough. I have made it very clear last time. Why can such quality be delivered to me?"

The vice president in charge of the marketing department was so frightened that he dared not even breathe, and stammered:

"We have tried our best to change it according to your request..."

The man's face was frosty, and the atmosphere in the conference room was terribly low.

"Try your best? I don't want to try my best, I want to know the results. You've been in the company for so many years and still want me to tell you?"

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the vice president's forehead. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and repeatedly promised to continue to improve.

"Fix it before leaving get off work."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others looked ashen, and a few of them even glanced at the time without giving up.

It's already nine o'clock in the evening.

If they can fix this before leaving get off work, it means they won't have to think about leaving get off work tonight if they don't fix it.

Chu Xing said "hmm" and then turned his attention to the Legal Department.

"What's the progress of that infringement case? Why hasn't it been dealt with yet?"

The Deputy Director of the Legal Department looked at him cautiously:

"We have negotiated with the other company many times, but they still insist that they have not infringed our patent rights."

The man's face was cold, and the look he gave the deputy general manager of the legal department was as chilly as spring.

"Do you need me to teach you how to do this?"

"I……"

The deputy general manager of the legal department wanted to defend himself, but under the man's gaze, he could not say anything and could only shrink like a quail.

"I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

Then the man glanced at everyone present, and everyone was terrified that they would be called out.

Just when Chu Xing was about to call the deputy general manager of the information department, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took a look and picked up the phone. The woman's voice was very calm, as if she was in a good mood. If you listened carefully, there seemed to be a smile on her face. It sounded like a spring breeze on his face, and the frost in the man's eyes seemed to melt a little.

"When will you be back? I have prepared dinner and am waiting for you."

The man's eyes warmed up, and his voice softened unconsciously.

"I can't go home for dinner tonight. I still have some work to do. I might be late. Don't wait for me."
