Contract Bride, the power game of misplaced love

Li Zhijian quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm fine."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Li Zhijian responded seriously, "Okay."

Not long after the editor-in-chief left, Zhou Qinghe stared at her with a strange look.

Li Zhijian felt uncomfortable with such a look, but he remained calm:

"Qinghe, do you think my face is dirty?"

Zhou Qinghe was beside her and whispered, "Have you noticed that our editor-in-chief is so nice to you?"

Li Zhijian's face turned pale and blue. She really didn't know how good the editor-in-chief was to her.

But her gossip made her uncomfortable, and she really regretted having dinner with this woman.

Zhou Qinghe was a smart woman. Looking at her expression, she continued:

"Don't mind me. I've just been in the company for a short time and I'm just a temporary employee. But I still have a good impression of you. Don't mind me."

Li Zhijian said generously: "It's okay, I'm not angry with you."

"I heard that the editor-in-chief is divorced and has a child. It is said that his wife is having an affair. Anyway, he is quite pitiful."

Li Zhijian never liked gossip, let alone other people's private affairs.

Divorce was not an uncommon thing in this era, so she felt a little sympathy for the editor-in-chief.

Soon, the two returned to their offices.

Li Zhijian didn't forget what the editor-in-chief said. She walked into the editor-in-chief's office. The door was open.

Just as she was about to knock, she saw the editor-in-chief napping at his desk.

She looked up at the time, hesitated for a moment, and left quietly.

When she returned to the office, she saw the editor-in-chief working attentively.

Li Zhijian knocked on the office door, and the editor-in-chief raised his head slightly and said, "Come in."

Li Zhijian sat down in front of him and said awkwardly, "Editor-in-Chief, what do you want me to do?"

The editor-in-chief put down the work at hand, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a few seconds of silence, the editor-in-chief crossed his arms and said sincerely, "I want to ask you for help."

Li Zhijian couldn't believe her ears. She asked in surprise, "Editor-in-Chief, what did you just say?"

"Zhijian, Xiao has issued an ultimatum. If you don't come and apologize to us, our company may go bankrupt."

That's why Xiao Yuheng said such words.

Li Zhijian cursed Xiao Yuheng in her heart. He really deserved the punishment. He deserved the punishment, but she had to bear the consequences.

The editor was always very gentle to her, and even in this situation, he would never boss her around.

Li Zhijian seemed to be hesitant to speak. She really didn't want to see Xiao Yuheng.

However, seeing the editor-in-chief's dejected look, she felt extremely guilty.

Before Li Zhijian could speak, the editor-in-chief continued:

“I am very optimistic about your abilities, and we also have a job for you in our company, so I would like to ask you to think about it carefully.

Li Zhijian felt like her head was about to explode. It was not like she had not thought about quitting this job.

But this job is so important, and his grandmother has also moved to his house. Even though she has been clamoring to go home, Li Zhijian is a little worried.

As time went by, Li Zhijian still had no reaction.

The editor-in-chief's eyes turned red, and he collapsed on his seat with a look of despair: "Boss Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

Li Zhijian lowered his head and didn't look at him: "It's okay, it's okay."

"It's not a bad thing for a girl to show weakness when necessary. Xiao asked you to apologize to us, can't you even say sorry?"

The editor-in-chief's voice was pleading, without any aggression, which made Li Zhijian, who was already feeling guilty, even more conflicted.

Should she go back to Xiao's? She thought Xiao Yuheng would not let her go so easily.

It would be even more embarrassing if she actually went.

Li Zhijian was silent for a few seconds. She really didn't want to talk to him anymore. She had never been like this before.

Being played around by him, her hopes for him were dashed.

The clock on the wall was ticking.

The editor-in-chief's eyes were red, he sighed, and said:

"My dear, I am not the only one in our company. We have many people in our company. It is not easy for us to make money. How can we go bankrupt because of this?"

Li Zhijian is not cold-blooded, but she has to deal with someone who is unwilling to meet people, so she cannot let down her guard against him.

When she thought of Xiao Yuheng and Jiang Zhiyan being so affectionate with each other, she felt very uncomfortable. Time and again, she was used as a gun.

Now, she is actually going to take the initiative to throw herself into his arms?

Li Zhijian hesitated for a moment before slowly raising his head and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Editor-in-Chief, I'm sorry, but I won't apologize to you."

The editor-in-chief clenched the pen in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

Li Zhijian stood up and said in a low voice:

"If you don't like me, you can fire me or dismiss me, so that we can save our newspaper."

The editor-in-chief shook his head helplessly.

"I know it's not that easy. Even if you quit your job, Xiao Corporation won't let you go. You've seen it clearly written in our letter. There's no other way except for you to come and apologize in person."

The weather is getting colder.

Li Zhijian stood on the balcony, hesitating whether to admit his mistake to Xiao Yuheng.

Thinking of the gloating look on Xiao Yuheng's face, she said firmly:

"I'm sorry, but I will never make amends. I can quit this job."

Having said this, Li Zhijian no longer had the heart to speak, she turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the editor grabbed her and knelt down in front of her.

"Li Zhijian, you must help us."

Li Zhijian felt very uncomfortable. She had not spent much time with the editor-in-chief, but he was very principled, which made her admire him very much.

Listening to the editor-in-chief's plea, Li Zhijian's heart skipped a beat. Shouldn't she be so stubborn and defend her own ideas?

She quickly pulled the editor-in-chief over:

"Editor-in-chief, please stand up and let's talk."

"Zhijian, I won't get up without your consent."

Li Zhijian tried his best to pull him up but failed. The gap between men and women is really too big.

Li Zhijian was about to cry. She gritted her teeth and said with difficulty,

"Editor-in-Chief, can I accept your terms?"

When the editor heard this, he immediately stood up, held her hands, and thanked her repeatedly:

"Thank you, Zhijian."

Xiao Yuheng is a cunning person, and no one can be sure whether he has other intentions.
