Chapter 157 Attack
Chapter 157 Attack
Lin Xixi didn't call again.
I also had a rare normal weekend.
Early on Sunday morning, my uncle and I went to the second bedroom together, cleaned and cleaned, and worked hard all morning. The house finally felt like a home.
Just then, my uncle's cell phone rang. It was the courier boy's call.
My uncle glanced at me nervously and gave us our house number.
He has been honest all his life and doesn't know how to hide his emotions at all. Even his guilty conscience is obvious.
"Whose express delivery is it?"
My uncle glanced at me and stammered: "Xiao Yan... knew I was moving, so..."
I didn't expect that my uncle would tell Yan Dong about our renting a house. Thinking about the private contact between the two yesterday, I said helplessly: "Uncle, Yan Dong and I..."
"What?" My uncle suddenly raised his voice, stared at me, and said, "We are aboveboard, Xu Xu... Xu Xu is also very good, why not?"
He spoke with a stiff neck, and his face turned red by the last word. Before I could speak, he said angrily: "He made friends in Zhou... Zhou Hanzhi, Xu Xu... Why can't Xu Xu?"
Seeing my uncle's dejected look, I could only sigh and said, "How about we wait until the project in hand is completed?"
My uncle glanced at me and lowered his voice: "Your aunt, you also said... do your work, don't delay... make friends."
In the end, both of them still couldn't trust me.
I relented and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and my aunt."
Hearing this, my uncle finally smiled.
At this time, the doorbell rang. When I opened it, I saw two pots of green plants placed at the door, one tall and one short. The tall one looked like the same bird of paradise that lives in the harsh winter, and the short one turned out to be my favorite bougainvillea.
"Miss Meng, please sign for it."
I glanced at the express delivery number and saw the words "Teacher Yan".
My uncle walked indoors with the potted plant in his arms, and said as he walked: "Xiao Yan is really... thoughtful."
I went to the balcony and called Yan Dong.
After the call was connected, the sound of orchestral instruments played softly, accompanied by the a cappella singing of two ladies.
"Nan Xu, do you have a problem with me?"
I paused, glanced at the bird of paradise in the living room, and said, "We received the green plants you sent, thank you."
"I'm sorry for not saying hello to you in advance," Yan Dong was as gentle and gentle as ever, "Is this considered a surprise?"
"Forget it." I said sincerely, "You work first, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"At the old man's place," Yan Dong lowered his voice, "Then I'll be waiting for this meal."
After cutting off the line, I breathed a sigh of relief, but for a moment, I heard the vibrating sound of my phone again.
The call was from Xiaoya.
It's a big weekend. How come she has time to call me when she's not hanging out with her friends?
"Sister Nan Xu, it's not good," Xiaoya's panicked voice came out of the receiver as soon as the call was connected, "Manager Lin fainted in the office and just got into the ambulance! Mr. Wu's call didn't get through, woo woo ,what to do?"
Lin Xixi, fainted? Still in the office?
There is really no honey in the beehive, which is strange.
But when it came to the staff's physical problems, I couldn't ignore it: "Send me the hospital address."
Half an hour later, I drove to the city hospital and easily found the ward where Lin Xixi was located.
The diagnosis result also came out, a low fever caused by a cold.
Yes, the temperature column says thirty-eight degrees.
As for why she fainted, only Lin Xixi knows best.
In front of the hospital bed, Xiao Zheng gathered around Lin Xixi. The little girl had an intravenous needle inserted in her hand. Her originally fair face now looked pale, and she looked so pitiful.
Seeing me coming in, Lin Xixi raised her eyelids and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Nanxu, I don't know what happened. As soon as my vision went dark..."
Xiao Zheng answered immediately and said, "Manager Lin has been busy since last night. He went back to rest for a few hours and then rushed back to work overtime with everyone."
Seeing the little girl lowering her eyes, I said calmly: "So has the bug been resolved?"
Lin Xixi was startled slightly, her eye circles instantly turned red, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
Xiao Zheng glanced at me and said angrily: "Manager Meng, Manager Lin is so ill. Can you please forget about work? She is also under a lot of pressure."
I looked at Xiao Zheng sympathetically and saw that she was carrying a notebook and asked, "What's the problem? Let me take a look."
Xiao Zheng handed me the notebook neatly, pointed to two pieces of code, and said, "Manager Lin and I have tested it five or six times, but we still can't find the problem."
I browsed through it quickly and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
It is actually the simplest if problem, and there is no switching between Chinese and English symbols.
After making the changes, I handed the notebook to Xiao Zheng. After taking a look at it, Xiao Zheng exclaimed: "It's amazing. How did Manager Meng do it?"
I pointed to the uppercase and lowercase switch keys and smiled awkwardly.
After Lin Xixi realized this, she looked at me carefully and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Nanxu, I..."
"Manager Lin, I know it's hard for you to stay up late and work overtime, but..." I said in a less polite tone, "You are now the project leader, and you still have to be taught backup and capitalization. Do you think that's okay?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Nanxu, I, I have worked very hard..."
"Work hard?" I repeated these two words and said coldly: "Working two days overtime is considered hard work, and writing two lines of code is called diligence. So what do those colleagues who work until late at night every night count?"
As soon as I finished speaking, two lines of tears fell from Lin Xixi's eyes. While crying, she said, "I'm sorry, Sister Nanxu, it's all my fault..."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zheng hurriedly handed Lin Xixi a tissue and said distressedly: "Manager Meng, Manager Lin's fever hasn't gone away yet. Can you say a few words less?"
Lin Xixi has always been good at selling things at a bad price.
As soon as Xiao Zheng finished speaking, the ward door suddenly opened without warning. I turned around in confusion and saw Zhou Hanzhi standing there in a hurry.
After all, the sweetheart fainted in the office due to overwork, how could Zhou Hanzhi not show up?
When their eyes met, Zhou Hanzhi's black eyes gleamed slightly, and the next second, he walked straight towards Lin Xixi who was crying so hard.
"How about it?"
"It's okay," Lin Xixi said with a choked voice, her eyebrows arched, and she forced a smile, "It's just a cold, it's okay."
Every time she said "it's okay", Zhou Hanzhi's face became darker.
After a while, the man raised his head, stared at me, and asked, "Is this how Manager Meng treats his colleagues?"
"Hanzhi, it's not Sister Nanxu's problem, it's that I'm too stupid, I..."
"Manager Lin is indeed not smart," I interrupted Lin Xixi, glanced at Zhou Hanzhi again, and said, "You can find problems that freshmen and junior students can find, but you have been busy all night. In my opinion, your Extracurricular tuition classes are also in vain.”
Lin Xixi's eyes widened and she looked at me in disbelief.
"Meng Nanxu, you don't say a word of comfort to your colleague who is sick and hospitalized, but you stand here and make sarcastic remarks?" Zhou Hanzhi stared at me closely and sneered: "Why, she asked you two more questions and delayed your date?"
I don't know how Zhou Hanzhi judged my "date", and said calmly: "Mr. Zhou, what we signed is a project contract, not a contract of sale, right? After cooperating with your company, I don't even deserve to have statutory rest days." ?”
Zhou Han moved his upper and lower lips, stared at me, and said word by word: "It seems that this rest day is really important to Manager Meng."
"Yes," I responded decisively, "for future work matters, please contact me again during the working day."
After I finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
It's like you can hear a pin drop.
The atmosphere was condensed, and even the air was thin.
Across the hospital bed, Zhou Hanzhi looked at me intently, exuding an aggressive aura.
I also looked at him quietly without showing any timidity.
Since retreating blindly cannot achieve fairness and justice for myself, I will not retreat anymore.
Never again.
I don’t know how long we were in a stalemate, but Wu Ling’s greeting suddenly came from my ears: “How are you, Manager Lin? Are you feeling better?”
I looked away and saw Wu Ling walking in carrying a box of exquisitely packaged fruit baskets, and said with concern: "Oh, everyone is here."
I looked away calmly and heard Lin Xixi trying to smooth things over: "Sorry, Sister Wu Ling, I asked you to run away."
After a few words of greeting, Wu Ling said with a smile: "Since Manager Lin is fine and Mr. Zhou is here, we will be like light bulbs. To be honest, Xu Xu and I have an appointment tonight."
Lin Xixi said understandingly: "That can't be delayed."
Wu Ling and I left the ward smoothly.
"You're so fierce, Manager Meng. You're even talking about Zhou Hanzhi." Wu Ling put a hand on my shoulder, "I thought you would never say no to him."
"Did you hear everything?"
"Nonsense, when Zhou Hanzhi questioned you, I was standing at the door with the gun ready. Just when I was about to rush in and shoot, you took action yourself." Wu Ling said in a humorous tone, "Be energetic."
I twitched the corner of my mouth and joked: "How about you arrange a date for us just right."
"No," Wu Ling suddenly stopped smiling and said, "We really have an appointment."
I looked at her doubtfully, and then I heard her say, "Zhang Jiahao, you're back."
