Chapter 43 Overtime

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mr. Wei worked overtime late for an unprecedented time.

The reason why it is called "unprecedented" is because during the day he also sent me a message telling me that he would get home early today and asked me if I wanted to eat glutinous rice balls.

I said, good.

Both of us thought he would leave work first, but when I left the company, he was still busy.So I asked him what kind of stuffing he liked, and on the way home, I turned to the supermarket and bought glutinous rice balls and other ingredients.

The days are still short at this time, and night falls quickly.

I calculated the time to cook the rice and the glutinous rice balls, lest Mr. Wei come back too late and the food would get cold.However, he worked until after ten o'clock at night, and still did not get off work.

It seems that the company has encountered sudden trouble.

Mr. Wei works in Shengshi, and Yiyu Entertainment is next to Shengshi Group. Both companies are in the same business circle.Although the two office buildings are not far away, I have never been there.

Today may be a good opportunity.

I simply made some meals and put them in a thermos. This feeling is very novel.

When I was done, I sent a message to Mr. Wei.

——Mr. Wei, are you still working?

After a while, Mr. Wei replied.

——There are still things to deal with, which is a bit troublesome, and I don't know how long I will be busy.

——Rest early, don't wait for me.

— Mr. Wei.

--What's wrong?

——Can I visit the class?

After a while, two words were sent over there.

--certainly.

Then he sent me his floor and called me at the same time.

I press connect.

Mr. Wei's voice was tired and soft, and he could not restrain his excitement. He confirmed to me: "He Zhi, do you really want to come over?"

"of course it's true."

How could such a thing be false.

"That's good." He did not forget to ask, "Be careful when driving on the road."

"Okay." I smiled, "I don't drive much, but my driving skills are still good."

I only learned to drive after graduating from college because of the needs of my first job.Later, I entered the entertainment industry, and spent most of my time running production crews and announcements, and rarely had the opportunity to drive by myself.

Because of past experiences, Brother Jian even asked me in doubt if I could drive.

Mr. Wei said, "Then pay attention to safety."

I replied: "Well, good."

When I went out with the thermos, I still didn't hang up the phone, and the sound of Mr. Wei's breathing and work came from the Bluetooth headset.He occasionally made a "rustling" sound when signing documents, not so regular, but inexplicably pleasant.

I thought about it and sent some red packets to Mr. Wei.

He quickly saw the news and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Happy Lantern Festival." I said softly, "I like Mr. Wei, so I earn money for you to spend."

It's what he said.

I remember.

When I arrived in Shengshi, it was Mr. Wei who came to pick me up the stairs.

"Why did you come down?" I was puzzled, "Didn't the specific floor be announced just now? I can go up by myself."

"I'm worried."

After Mr. Wei finished speaking in a serious tone, he reached out to take the thermos in my hand.

"No need." I blinked, "It's not heavy."

He still insisted.

I glanced at his cold and hard profile, and said with a smile, "Then thank you, Mr. Wei, for your concern."

Mr. Wei's cheeks were quietly burning red.

He avoided my sight and said softly: "...it's nothing, I should do it."

Just now when I looked up at the Shengshi Building from downstairs, I noticed that lights were on on many floors. It seems that there are many departments working overtime tonight. Shengshi has indeed encountered a lot of trouble.

Mr. Wei led me on the special elevator.

On the way up the elevator, I asked him: "Is there any urgent business in the company today?"

"It's not a big problem." Mr. Wei rubbed the space between his brows, "It's just that there are a few old foxes in the house who can't sit still."

The old fox at home?

I realized that he should be referring to someone from the Wei family.

I don't know much about the affairs of Mr. Wei's family, and I haven't talked with him about it.Out of respect, I didn't continue to ask more questions, but said in a regretful tone: "I can't eat glutinous rice balls today. It's inconvenient to cook at the company; after cooking at home, it will stick again."

"It doesn't matter, after my work is done, we will go to the residence near the company to eat." Mr. Wei said seriously, "As long as the sun is not up, as long as we are not asleep, even if it is early in the morning, it can be considered today."

I chuckled slightly at what he said.

Is there a residence near the company?

It occurred to me that he didn't always rest where we live now.

In the past, the two of us didn't meet very often. Many times, Mr. Wei lived in a residence near the company, while I stayed in the crew for three to two months.It is not uncommon for him to have many properties to his name, but so far, I only know of one of them.

Therefore, I was a little surprised: "Are you going to take me to another residence?"

Mr. Wei didn't know what to think of, his brows and eyes froze, and he suddenly became a little nervous: "...you don't like it?"

"No." I shook my head, "On the contrary, I'm afraid Mr. Wei won't like it."

Mr. Wei asked subconsciously, "Why don't I like it?"

I:"……"

Mr. Wei: "..."

"Ding--"

The elevator chimes sounded and we reached the top floor.

I laughed and replied, "I don't know either."

What have we both been struggling with in the past.

We walked out of the elevator side by side.

Mr. Wei walked beside me, looking at me from the corner of his eye from time to time, as if he wanted to say something.When we walked to his office, three assistants I had never seen before were sitting at their workstations. They stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Wei."

Lu Cheng, who was sitting in the assistant position, also stood up: "Mr. Wei."

These three assistants are only employees of Shengshi, and Lu Cheng is Mr. Wei's special assistant. He helps Mr. Wei not only with Shengshi's work, but also with Yiyu's work.

"Well, everyone has worked hard tonight." Mr. Wei nodded, and said quietly, "Those who work overtime today can apply for a day off tomorrow."

Several people smiled: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wei!"

Then we went into the office.

This is the first time I have entered Mr. Wei's office, and it is bigger than expected, with a whole side of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire business circle.In the middle of the night of the Lantern Festival, there are fireworks and lanterns in the city, and people walk hand in hand on the streets, and it is very noisy to and fro.

The city is busier than it was during the Chinese New Year.

I turned around and took the thermos from Mr. Wei's hand, and asked, "Do you want to eat it on the coffee table?"

"can."

Mr. Wei closed the door while talking.

I just arranged the meals in the thermos one by one, and took out the bowls and chopsticks. Mr. Wei also came over to help.After the food was set, I was about to ask him to sit down and eat when I was suddenly hugged by him.

He is taller and stronger than me, and when he covers me tightly, he is tight and warm.

Mr. Wei kissed my face.

I couldn't help but patted his head quietly: "What's wrong?"

We must not let Mr. Wei know that he looks more and more like a bear in my eyes.

Mr. Wei didn't speak, he lifted my chin and sealed my lips.

It is a consistent force that is about to swallow people.

At the end of the kiss, Mr. Wei cast a fan shadow under his eyelashes, his deep pupils were too dark to see a glimmer of light.His gaze was fixed on me without moving, and I smelled a dangerous breath, swelling and colliding in the air.

"Mr. Wei."

Before I knew it, my voice also softened.

"We are still in the company."

Mr. Wei did not speak. After staring at me deeply for a moment, he leaned over and sucked my lips again, clasped my struggling hand, and kissed me for a long time as if he was addicted.

We are in company.

I remember this clearly, so I pushed him away anyway.

When he woke up, he was immediately discouraged in frustration, pulled me into his arms and hugged me, with a hint of complaint in his tone: "...why do I have to do so much work today."

I couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that 'Mr. Wei' also gets upset because of too much work?"

"Of course." He clasped my wrist, and twirled the string of chinan incense on his wrist again, "We finally wanted to spend a festival together."

"It's too exaggerated. It's not so hard yet. There are still many opportunities in the future." I said, "And, we are together today."

"I'm very happy that you came to see me." Mr. Wei paused for a moment before continuing, "I thought you were not interested in my work, after all, the content is boring and boring."

I wriggled out of his arms and looked at him calmly.

"Mr. Wei."

Mr. Wei paused: "...what?"

"Actually, I'm curious about you."

There was a trace of joy in his eyes: "Really?"

"Well." I said, "isn't Mr. Wei curious about my work and life?"

Mr. Wei: "..."

I watched him silently.

"Curiosity." Mr. Wei stared at me and nodded heavily, "I'm so curious that I want to know everything."

I see.

Otherwise, he wouldn't ask Brother Jian about my work.

We all have many habits that need to be broken, but there is no rush.

Fortunately there is still plenty of time.

I said, "Let's eat first."

Mr. Wei nodded.

While I was still controlling my diet, I ate nutritious meals at home, so I just sat next to Mr. Wei drinking tea and chatting with him.After the meal, Mr. Wei sat down at his desk, turned on the computer and began to process documents.

"If you are tired, you can go to the lounge in the inner room to sleep for a while." Mr. Wei said to me, "After I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will hold an online meeting, and it will take at least an hour to finish."

I was a little worried about him: "Is there still a meeting so late?"

"It's an emergency." Mr. Wei explained, "The people at Second Uncle's side can't sit still anymore, they have tampered with the government project newly signed by Sheng Shi, and the people below discovered it tonight."

"Thank you." I made him a cup of coffee, "Unfortunately, I can't help you much."

"You're fine here." Mr. Wei took the coffee, with a satisfied smile in his eyes, "This is the most relaxing class I've ever had."

I also laughed: "It's not easy to work overtime."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the office.

Mr. Wei: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Lu Cheng came over with two small plates of desserts. He put the desserts on the table and said, "Mr. Wei, Mr. He Zhi, this is dessert for tonight. There is also supper... But Mr. Wei and He Zhi Mister shouldn't need it."

I don't understand: "Dessert?"

"Yes." Lu Cheng explained with a smile, "Our company benefits are very good. Overtime work not only includes overtime pay, but also provides desserts and supper."

"It's pretty good." I declined, "But my latest new play has requirements, I can't eat desserts, share it with others."

Lu Cheng quickly said, "It's because I didn't think thoroughly."

I don't know if it's my illusion, but Lute seemed to be a little more cautious when facing me, which was different from before.He was also very polite and decent in the past, but he was far less cautious than he is today.

"I don't eat it either, I'll take it out and share it with others." Mr. Wei instructed, "By the way, inform Minister Yang, Minister Wang, and Manager Zhou that an online meeting will take place in an hour."

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

Lu Cheng picked up the dessert again and left the room.

When Mr. Wei was working, he was unsmiling, revealing a sense of indifference and alienation all over his body, but once he looked at me, I could see the traces of the first melting of ice and snow from his far-reaching eyes, like a breeze alternating between cold and warm, which made me feel uncomfortable. A sense of contradiction that people are fascinated by.

Why didn't I notice it before.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mr. Wei asked me.

I smiled: "I wonder why Assistant Lute is so restrained all of a sudden."

"Because I deducted his bonus." Mr. Wei said, "So I worry about the money for the baby's milk powder."

"Does Rutte have a child?"

"I heard there is, but I forgot how old it was."

"..."

After chatting for a few minutes, I didn't want to disturb Mr. Wei's work, so I walked to the side and sat down on the sofa, thinking about Director Zhang's script.But he would turn his head back from time to time, look at me twice, and then continue working.

When Mr. Wei looked at me for the fourth time, I raised my head and met his gaze firmly.

Mr. Wei: "..."

"Mr. Wei." I said helplessly, "Don't miss work."

He said that if I was by my side, working overtime would be easier, but now it seems that it is obviously delaying the work process.

"I didn't desert." Mr. Wei even justified, "I didn't take the time to go online to fight gangsters."

I caught that confusing keyword: "Anti-Black?"

"..." Mr. Wei, "Rebut, dark forces."

I:"……"

"After all—" Mr. Wei looked serious and upright, "People need to combine work and rest."

Speaking of this incident, I suddenly remembered that Mr. Wei had mentioned something like "cp name" a few days ago.Later, Xiao Dai muttered something similar to herself once, and I only heard the general idea, but didn't understand the meaning of her words.

I usually don’t surf the Internet very much, and only occasionally read current affairs news; and in the artist plan that brother Jian made for me, hype is the last one, focusing on my own acting skills and the quality of the script.So I have no idea about many words that fans often say.

Now it seems that Mr. Wei seems to know better than me.

It is probably because of me that I am not so humble to make a relatively reasonable guess.

Thinking of this, I looked at him and asked curiously, "Mr. Wei, what does our cp name mean?"

Mr. Wei: "..."

He was in a hurry for a moment, and the mouse made chaotic sounds of "click--" and "click--".

"That's right, Li, Zhi..." He explained vaguely, "You and me, us."

"okay, I get it."

I still don't quite understand it, but I didn't ask any further. I decided to either search for it myself or ask Xiao Dai when I was free.

Otherwise, Mr. Wei will be very popular.

About 10 minutes later, Mr. Wei's documents were processed and he was ready to hold an online meeting.Although he doesn't mind, it's not good for me as an outsider to listen to so many things about Sheng Shi.

So I quietly left the office.

Surprisingly, the three assistants who hadn't left outside happened to be talking about my affairs. Although their voices were small, they could hear every sentence clearly.Mr. Wei's office is huge, and the road leading to the assistant's station is a few steps away. It happens that the door is covered by a wall corner and a giant potted plant, so they didn't find me.

One of the assistants sighed: "Finally, I'm done with work. I'm off work. I'm going to sleep until ten o'clock tomorrow."

Another assistant said: "I sleep until twelve o'clock!"

The last one asked softly, "By the way, don't you care about the person who just walked in?"

Then they chatted—

"I care, of course I care. At that time, I couldn't take care of it when I was working. But... If I don't have dazzle, is that person He Zhi?"

"It's He Zhi! I can't admit my mistake, I still have his photo in my phone!"

"Although gossip like this is not good for others, but He Zhi is actually with us Mr. Wei... Wow, I feel a little uncomfortable because I suddenly imagined a sadomasochistic relationship with a wealthy family."

"What makes you uncomfortable has nothing to do with you."

"The main reason is that life is too boring, and I am happy when I see melons. No wonder He Zhi doesn't have any gossip. It turns out that the benefactor behind it is Mr. Wei, even if there are melons, he can suppress it..."

I didn't feel offended by the other party's statement of "the benefactor behind the scenes", and even felt that it was ordinary.Because most people have such a misunderstanding - once an artist and a gentry are involved, there must be an unclean relationship.

Suddenly, a fourth person appeared in the conversation, Lu Cheng.

He asked: "If you don't leave after get off work, what are you talking about here?"

"President Liao Wei and He Zhi..." an assistant asked in a low voice, "Brother Lu, you don't seem surprised at all, are the two of them..."

"They are in love and will get married in the future." Lu Cheng said decisively, "So don't talk nonsense, be careful not to anger Mr. Wei, and leave with n1."

The top floor was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Lu Cheng said again: "Okay, everyone is tired, hurry up and go home from get off work. From now on, take it easy when chatting about gossip in the company. The online chats are enough. Don't get involved in reality. It's good for everyone."

Not long after, several assistants left the company.

Lu Cheng put the finishing touches and walked towards the office with a stack of documents.

We just had a face-to-face meeting.

"... Mr. He Zhi."

"Lu Zhu." I greeted him, "Working so late, it's hard work."

"As long as Mr. Wei gives more bonuses." Lu Cheng smiled, "Mr. He Zhi heard it just now?"

I nodded: "Well, I heard part of it."

Lu Cheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said guiltily: "Mr. He Zhi, I have to apologize to you. I misunderstood Mr. Wei's meaning before."

"It's okay, don't blame yourself." I shook my head. "It's not your fault."

Lu Cheng lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"Actually, Mr. Wei made it very obvious at that time. After he knew that Mr. He Zhi was in urgent need of money, he originally wanted to find you in person. However, in the past two years, the rights of the Wei family were scattered, and the Wei family has been making troubles. When Mr. Zhi’s mother was seriously ill, she was caught up in other things, so I had to find Mr. He Zhi first to help you solve your urgent needs.”

"It turned out that something was wrong, and the two of you..."

I didn't interrupt him.

Judging by Lu Cheng's expression, he is really troubled by this, and maybe it would be better if he confided it.

"Later, I actually discovered that Mr. Wei treated Mr. He Zhi differently. I always told Mr. He Zhi about Mr. Wei because I was aware of this." Lu Chengqian said guiltily, "But I still haven't changed my habit of thinking. .”

"I have a habit too," I said, "so I can't blame you."

Lu Cheng was slightly relieved, and continued: "Actually, the reason why I worked overtime to such an extent today is because Mr. Wei really stopped cooperating with the Huang family two days ago, and Mr. Wei's father is unhappy."

I was a little puzzled: "Didn't it mean that Mr. Wei's second uncle tampered with the new project?"

"Yes, he did it, but Mr. Wei's father also played tricks." Lu Cheng explained, "They are all directors of the company. Although they are not on the same boat, they are not against Mr. Wei."

I thought about it.

It seems that the situation of Mr. Wei's family is more complicated than I imagined.

Lu Cheng added: "Although it is a guess, there is one thing that I think Mr. He Zhi can confirm with Mr. Wei."

I asked: "What is it?"

"In the past few years, Mr. Wei has been very hardworking. He has to go on business trips from time to time. The main reason is to suppress the directors of the Wei family and gain an overwhelming right to speak in the prime of life. When Mr. He Zhi was with Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei has been deliberately lowering your sense of existence, I used to think... looking at it now, it should be to protect you."

After hearing his words, I was slightly taken aback.

Indeed, in the past two years or so, Mr. Wei has always been very busy, and sometimes I even saw him so little that I thought he was tired of me.In addition, he never talked about his family. He only took me to Huang Zhengming's gatherings at the beginning, but he never took me to similar occasions.

It turned out that there were various other reasons in the past.
