The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO
Chapter 251 Brother...are you okay?
Even Richard beside him suppressed his throat and lowered his head, so that when he glanced at Richard, the other party did not receive it.
Fortunately, Nie Zheng saw it and reminded Richard, "Special Assistant, President Chong is calling you."
The two of them made eye contact, and Richard immediately understood what Chong Jianzhi meant, and he said to the heads of various departments on behalf of the president: "President Chong has a sore throat today, so let's end the meeting here. Move today's meeting to tomorrow... the day after tomorrow, at the same time. Please come on time and don't be late."
Chong Jianzhi touched his throat and thought for a long time, wondering why he suddenly got so angry?
With the recent change of seasons, there are quite a few people catching colds and flu, but it is not common to have a sore throat and a sore throat like him.
"Dong dong dong..."
There were several knocks on the office door, and Chong Jianzhi couldn't even say "come in".
Nie Zheng knew his "difficulties" and came in very consciously.
"Brother...are you okay?" She felt a little guilty. "Are you getting angry? Your throat hurts and your voice is hoarse..."
"...Um..." He squeezed out a word with difficulty.
"It was my fault."
Chong Jianzhi felt a little confused and waited for her to continue.
"Well... I make you agarwood tea every day because it's good for your stomach and helps you sleep, but I forgot that this stuff is very irritating, and drinking too much... can easily cause you to get angry."
After saying that, she looked at him eagerly. His throat hurt again and he couldn't utter a word.
The two of them stared at each other. After a minute or two, he said with difficulty: "...Come here."
She obediently went over, and as soon as she reached the desk, he pulled her into his arms.
Before the kiss landed, he was still thinking in his heart, this thing called getting angry shouldn't be contagious, right? It's okay for him to feel uncomfortable, but he didn't want her to suffer with him.
The office is well soundproofed, and Richard, who works next door, can't hear any sound.
The subordinate who knocked on the door and wanted him to sign was not like Nie Zheng. He did not dare to open the door until he heard the order to "come in". He could only leave in disgrace.
None of them knew what was happening in the office at the moment.
The uncontrollable moans sounded particularly harsh in the enclosed space. Chong Jianzhi's desk was not the workbench at home. It was his territory and he could do whatever he wanted.
When she was overwhelmed, Nie Zheng felt a thousand crows flying through her heart. She still couldn't accept it. Where did her brother, who used to be serious, impartial, and without any emotions, go?
When she left the office, she couldn't help but feel her legs go weak.
After all this trouble, Chong Jianzhi's voice unexpectedly improved. Although his voice was still a little hoarse, it was no longer as funny as "Donald Duck stepping on the accelerator" just now.
……
The days passed, and soon it was time for the preliminary round.
The competition venue was set up in the hall of Ningjiang Incense Association. One hundred contestants were divided into twenty groups, with five people working at a table at the same time. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the organizer distributed the agreed agarwood raw materials to all contestants.
When Nie Zheng saw the group list, she was completely overwhelmed. What she feared came true. There were five people in a group. What a coincidence that she and Rose were grouped together. Looking down, she saw that there was not only Rose, but also Wang Baobao.
With this kind of luck, if I buy a lottery ticket, I will definitely win the jackpot. Nie Zheng couldn't help but complain in her heart.
The organizer's staff was reading out the rules of the competition on the stage, and the contestants below were already undercurrents of excitement.
"We are distributing agarwood to each contestant now. Please note that there are a total of 100 contestants today, and we have only prepared 100 pieces of agarwood. If any accidents occur during the subsequent incense-making process, we will not provide extra materials. So everyone must avoid mistakes during the operation."
Although these words were just a reminder, they gave Rose great inspiration.
If a mistake is made during the game and the agarwood is destroyed, the player will almost certainly be eliminated.
With Nie Zheng's strength, it is impossible for her to stop at the preliminary round. The further she advances, the greater the threat she poses. It would be better to let her go in the preliminary round. This will also prevent any trouble from happening later.
Each contestant was given pre-ground agarwood powder, which eliminated the intermediate grinding process and greatly reduced the competition time.
Seeing Rose's shifty look, Wang Baobao was speechless, knowing that she was up to something bad and was planning to harm Nie Zheng again. Although she and Nie Zheng didn't have much friendship, she couldn't stand this kind of crooked practices the most. Not focusing on the competition, but instead planning all kinds of ways to harm the opponent, it was simply shameless!
"Hey!" Wang Baobao took the initiative to talk to Nie Zheng, "You better be careful. I feel like that woman is up to something bad."
Of course Nie Zheng knew this, but she couldn't focus all her attention on being on guard against others. The current game was the most important.
Contestants in each group can choose their seats freely. Wang Baobao sensed that Rose wanted to sit next to Nie Zheng, so he took the seat before her.
"There's no room here, go over there."
Wang Baobao showed a harmless smile and said to Rose.
"I didn't want to sit there." Rose said with a wry smile, "I just wanted to go to the bathroom in the back."
There are still five minutes left before the competition. All the contestants have already received the agarwood powder they will use for processing. Everyone has taken the tools they need to the workbench.
Nie Zheng has already started to get into the game state, studying the agarwood powder in her hand, picking up some and putting it to her nose to sniff carefully.
He had no idea that danger was approaching.
Rose approached the two quietly from behind. She had just gone to the bathroom and was holding a thermos cup she brought from the lounge. The lid of the cup had been unscrewed, and it contained half a cup of warm water that had not been finished.
She quietly approached Nie Zheng, her heart almost in her throat. The competition was about to start, and she needed to complete this operation before the competition. This way, the staff would be helpless with her.
The agarwood powder needs to be sieved to remove all wood fibers and keep only oil. Although the staff has cleaned the agarwood before grinding and removed some rotten wood impurities, some wood fibers will still remain after grinding. Impurities have a great impact on the taste of the incense, so it must be carefully sieved.
If half a cup of water is poured on the agarwood powder before sifting, Nie Zheng will not be able to remove the wood impurities in the agarwood powder.
This means that this agarwood powder is completely useless and cannot be used to make incense sticks.
The staff just said that only 100 portions of agarwood powder were prepared for this competition, and her portion was destroyed, which means she will be eliminated directly.
Her hand holding the thermos cup was trembling slightly. She walked straight towards Nie Zheng, stood behind her, and without hesitation poured the half cup of water onto the agarwood powder on the table.
But the result was not what she had imagined, perhaps it was because she was too nervous and hesitated for a moment, and Nie Zheng was too sensitive and reacted too quickly. At the moment when she was about to make a move, Nie Zheng suddenly turned around, and almost in one second she determined what she wanted to do, and hurriedly held her arm to control her behavior.
