Chapter 77 - 78: Illness (6)
Qin Mobai thought more and more about how he had gone too far earlier. Even if he was angry, he shouldn’t have left Lou Xi there alone.
She was still having a cold, and no matter if that fall was intentional or accidental, the fact remained that she fell. If something else happened...
Qin Mobai didn’t want to think further, so he turned around to go back to that place.
But there was no sign of Lou Xi anywhere. What he saw was Rong Zhi supporting Lou Xi towards the campus hospital!
A surge of unexplainable anger filled Qin Mobai’s chest, almost making it explode!
"Young Master Qin!" a student walked by and greeted Qin Mobai.
But after seeing Qin Mobai’s cold and fierce face, they didn’t wait for a response before quickly slipping away.
Qin Mobai wore a gloomy expression as he turned to leave, taking out his phone at the same time.
"What on earth does that Rong Zhi do? Find out for me!"
Su Lin answered Qin Mobai’s call, knowing that he had been acting crazy these days by issuing targets, causing the entire company to be overwhelmed with busyness.
Now he wants someone to investigate Rong Zhi! Su Lin was momentarily at a loss.
"Not investigating?"
"No, no, no, I’ll look into it right away! I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!"
Just as Qin Mobai was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly seemed to remember something and continued: "There are two files on my desk that need organizing. Have the new secretary take care of them!"
"But President Qin, she has classes today, you can’t possibly make her..."
"Not going?"
"Going, going, I’ll call her right away and have her come back to work."
Before he even finished speaking, Qin Mobai had already hung up.
Su Lin thought that the boss must be having a mood swing this week, which is why his emotions were so unstable.
So, he went ahead and called Lou Xi.
...
"I saw you with that Young Master Qin over there earlier, you two..." Rong Zhi asked as he supported Lou Xi.
Lou Xi was startled. Could it be that Rong Zhi saw her pulling and tugging with Qin Mobai just now? Her brows furrowed together.
"I was discussing some academic issues with Young Master Qin. I got a little excited, so my voice was inevitably loud." She knew that telling a lie would require more lies to cover the initial one.
Now it was really like a snowball, deceiving Rong Zhi over and over again.
She felt genuinely terrible, how could she lie in front of Rong Zhi? But if she didn’t...
Lou Xi glanced at Rong Zhi, thinking that if she didn’t lie, Rong Zhi might really dislike her...
"If you want to..."
Rong Zhi’s words were interrupted by the ringing of Lou Xi’s phone.
She withdrew her hand from Rong Zhi’s grip, took out her phone, and upon seeing it was a call from Assistant Su, immediately became anxious.
"Hello, Assistant Su."
"Lou Xi, I really didn’t want to bother you with this." It’s because recently the boss has been acting strange, "Please come back to the company, there’s something you need to handle."
"But..." But her butt really hurt right now, and she also had classes today.
"How about this, if you come today, we’ll pay you triple your hourly rate!"
"Alright, I’ll head over now!"
If there’s something that money can’t solve, it’s definitely because you don’t have enough money!
Lou Xi hung up the phone, turned to Rong Zhi, and said, "Brother Rong, something came up at my company, so I won’t be going to the campus hospital. See you next time!"
"Where do you work? I’ll give you a ride."
"No need, the bus is fast enough!" With that, Lou Xi hobbled off towards the campus gates.
