Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Madam has already entered the emergency room.

"You also know that with Uncle's current position, it is impossible to continue doing business with Shangming Group."

Cheng Zhi was silent, her heart full of guilt.

How could she not know?

Uncle Yuan was simply implicated by her.

"Now that Shangming is gaining momentum, he can easily seize all kinds of high-quality resources. Uncle is about to worry about the survival of the company."

What Yuan Chengjie said was the truth, and the powerlessness in his words came from his true feelings, which made Cheng Zhi, who knew nothing about the inside story, feel uncomfortable.

As the strong wind blew, she shrunk her shoulders and tightened her neckline, taking a light breath.

Question: "Uncle, Shangming shouldn't be considered the only company now, is there any other cooperative company to choose from?"

She sincerely wanted to solve the problem for him.

Yuan Chengjie didn't take this sentence to heart.

"Perhaps you can do uncle a favor."

Cheng Zhi was taken aback, "Me?"

She is trapped now, with almost no freedom, what can she do to help?

"Yes, uncle recently competed for a project with Shang Ming, and the person in charge of the project arrived in Nancheng by plane at [-]:[-] tomorrow night..."

Cheng Zhi opened his mouth, vaguely guessing one or two things, and didn't know whether to make a sound or not.

"If you can help Uncle catch Huo Linyuan," Yuan Chengjie continued, "Even if it's only two to ten minutes, the probability of Uncle negotiating a cooperation will be greatly increased."

He was very vague.

In fact, Huo Linyuan personally followed up this project, spending a lot of effort and money, and finally persuaded the other party to go to the country for the next step of negotiation.

Yuan Chengjie got the news halfway, and suddenly stepped in behind his back, which is not a healthy competition at all, but a villain's behavior.

"I..." There was a moment of confusion in Cheng Zhi's heart.

Yuan Chengjie heard her hesitation, and immediately added fire, "This project is related to the life and death of my uncle's company, but for Shang Ming, it is just a loss of a trivial business."

The first half of what he said is true.

But the second half of the sentence is complete nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhi made up her mind.

She was the one who made Uncle Yuan implicated, and he couldn't helplessly watch half of his life's hard work go to waste.

"I'll help you...... [-]:[-] tomorrow night?" she confirmed.

Yuan Chengjie's voice became brisk in an instant, "Yes. Uncle knows that Lao Cheng's daughter is not bad."

Hearing her father, Cheng Zhi's heart ached, "You helped me with all your heart, and I can't just sit idly by when you encounter difficulties."

"Good boy, uncle still has entertainment here, take care of yourself."

"I know, uncle, you also pay attention to your body."

After a few more polite words to comfort her, Yuan Chengjie hung up the phone.

Amidst the whistling wind, Cheng Zhi's hands and feet were already numb from the cold.

She moved her body a few times with her face full of thoughts, and began to clean up the fallen leaves and dead branches in the green space.

She was sure that Huo Linyuan would go home tomorrow.

He always makes a point of changing his clothes before meeting important guests.

But, how should she keep him?

……

At noon the next day, Huo Linyuan rarely went back to the villa in the middle of the mountain for dinner.

Afterwards, I slept on the second floor and had no intention of going out again.

It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon when Cheng Zhi finished almost all the housework.

After waiting for a while, she went to the dryer and took out the bathrobe and towel, folded them in her arms and went upstairs.

Just as she had guessed based on his past habits, there was no one on the big bed in the bedroom, and there was intermittent sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Cheng Zhi lowered her head and stood at the door of the bathroom, her arms holding the bathrobe and towel began to tighten unconsciously.
