Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 373 Mom, I'm Sorry - No Signature

Ling Bing is a woman who lives up to her name, with thick short hair, a square face, big eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and a cold temperament. Even at this moment, even when she is smiling, she gives people a distant feeling.

"Sister Tao, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm here to take Chang Li home."

"What trouble? To be honest, if it wasn't for your sake, I wouldn't have let him in. We agreed before that we would contact each other if there was anything. The child is grown up now, so if he wants the child, he can just contact the child directly. It's so scary to have him show up with luggage in the middle of the night."

Liu Chang gritted his teeth.

"Zimo, this is the gift that Auntie bought for you. I wanted to bring it to you last time."

Zhou Leng stepped forward to take it. Seeing that the packaging should be an electronic product, he smiled and said thank you.

Ling Bing looked at Zhou Leng with admiration in her eyes, full of concern for the younger generation, without any disgust that a stepmother would have when looking at her stepson. She turned her head to look at the man smiling at her on the sofa and said in a flat tone:

"Stop messing around and come home with me."

Liu Changli looked at his son for help.

Tao Yan stared at the other party hard and said, "You go home quickly. If you can find Mr. Ling, you will be a good player. You can live well at home. I won't open the door for you when you come again." She said to Ling Bing again, "Mr. Ling, go back and discipline it well. Don't you have two bodyguards at home? If you don't have it, just beat it up."

Liu Changli gritted his teeth and glared.

Ling Bing smiled and replied: "They are waiting downstairs. I thought it would be better to be decent when meeting Zimo!"

Liu Changli spoke the last four words in a clear and precise voice.

The ending was that Liu Changli followed Ling Bing downstairs dejectedly, pulling his suitcase.

Zhou Leng's language system suddenly lost its function. She looked at Tao Yan blankly, and finally asked dryly: "Mom, why do you call Aunt Ling "Boss Ling?"

"Ling Bing takes care of mom's business. Isn't she a senior executive of the property company? They have signed a contract with us for the cleaning work of their office building. You said your dad doesn't look unusual, he doesn't have a job, and he doesn't have any savings. Ling Bing really married your dad just because she wanted to have a smart child. Mom doesn't understand it."

Tao Yan's expression was full of confusion. She was still thinking about her ex-husband's crying just now. She felt it was unbelievable, but thinking about her son's age, she didn't want to discuss this issue too much with him.

Zhou Leng was silent thinking about how to answer Tao Yan's question, and then he heard her say, "Okay, you don't have to help mom wash the dishes today, go back to your room and play with your classmates."

"Okay, thank you mom."

Zhou Leng returned to the room, turned on the computer and logged into the chat software.

After graduating from university, the three students in the junior class chose different paths.

Zhou Leng followed Tao Yan's idea and joined the research institute, where he found a stable and decent job.

Jin Ling's situation is actually quite complicated. After her parents divorced, she was left unattended. It was her uncle Jin Cheng who had been supporting her. Seeing her outstanding talent, he took her to the junior class. After graduation, she directly entered a large company as a developer based on her skills.

Chen Hao has always been the quieter one among the three. He is obsessed with writing code. After graduation, he signed a contract with an international Internet company and is now abroad.

The three of them would share some techniques or complain about life in the group every day. Five years of living together day and night have allowed them to develop a strong revolutionary sentiment.

The latest message in the Three Musketeers’ group chat was Jin Ling asking about the situation of Zhou Leng’s research institute.

Jin Ling: Zimo, I heard that things aren’t very harmonious within your institute. How are you doing lately?

Zhou Leng: It’s okay. They can’t get it from a small programmer like me. I can just move it wherever it’s needed.

Chen Hao: This is the environment in China. Why don’t you all come to our place and we can form a team to work together. You will get a lot of bonuses and can also date foreign girls.

Jin Ling: Embarrassed expression.

Zhou Leng: You have a lustful expression. You can date handsome guys. I like foreign girls with good bodies.

Chen Hao: Obscene expression.

Zhou Leng: Don’t worry, I will come to you if I can’t make it. But my mother is in China and I will most likely not go abroad. Sister Ling will protect me when the time comes.

Jin Ling: Patting my head, don’t worry, sister will find you a job. With your skills, a million-dollar annual salary is not a dream.

......

Zhou Leng dressed neatly and rode his bicycle to work.

The office was unusually silent and calm, and the atmosphere was different from before. The air was oppressive and gloomy at the moment. The whole space was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, and the light breathing of people became the only sound in this tranquility.

This feeling was like a layer of gray gauze that suddenly enveloped Zhou Leng, making her realize that something must have happened.

Zhou Leng sat down at his workstation, turned on his computer, opened his mailbox, and then saw the commendation email. After reading it carefully, he knew the reason for the silence.

After Zhou Leng arrived at the research institute, he first rotated through various departments and then came to his current group. Recently, their group has been working day and night to create a small program to cooperate with the launch. The leader affirmed their work, recognized their efforts, and expressed condolences for their hard work, and then he secretly applied for a patent.

In principle, it is normal for the leader to be signed first in a patent application and the younger brother to be written at the end. Although the leaders did not participate in the research and development, they are leaders after all. However, this time the leader only signed himself, and this commendation only commended the leader himself.

There were seven people in the office. Zhou Leng was the calmest. The other six had indignation written all over their faces and "I'm very angry" engraved on their hair.

The door was opened, and the one who opened it was the leader holding some fruits and smiling.

"Come, come, I bought some fruit for you. You must be tired from working. Come and have some."

The other people's faces had regained their usual enthusiasm, only Zhou Leng looked at the leader with glasses calmly and said:

"Director Wu, don't you feel guilty? You just gave us this little fruit to get rid of. You went to the agency to apply for a patent without our knowledge. If it weren't for the commendation from the higher-ups, we wouldn't have known about it. You are stealing the fruits of our labor, don't you know? You are really stingy. How come you have more than a dozen hands? Otherwise, how could you be so awesome as to come up with a small program?"

Everyone's smiling faces froze.

The colleague who had just advised Zhou Leng not to take it seriously suddenly said, "Xiao Liu, what are you talking about? Isn't our work also directed by the leader? Look at what you said. Isn't the honor of the leader the honor of our team?"

Zhou Leng looked in the direction of the other person's voice, but the other person avoided Zhou Leng's sight.

When the leader saw someone speaking for him, he put the fruit on the table and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Liu, come with me to the office and let's have a good chat."

"Okay!"

After the two left, the colleagues glanced at the person who had just given the leader a step down, and then they waited, waiting for the foreseeable ending of the young leader.
