Chapter 276: Zhou Wanting's Guess

Zhou Wanting saw his reaction and couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Come on, say something!"

"What do we have to do for you to calm down?"

"Actually, after something like this happened, we were also punished..."

Li Jiaci stubbed out his cigarette.

Looking at the busy workers outside the office, he calmly said, "How about this: you two stay and help me look after Xiao Na's factory?"

"What did you say?"

Zhou Wanting blinked in surprise.

"Anyway, you guys aren't working right now!"

"Being idle is being idle; you might as well help me do something useful!"

"Whatever Xiao Na does every day, you do the same!"

"If anyone else needs help, you have to pitch in too!"

"Wages are paid daily!"

"How about thirty yuan a day?"

Li Jiaci looked at the two and asked.

Calling this wage a lot would be an overstatement; calling it little would be an understatement.

Zhou Wanting furrowed her brows and glanced at Liu Yanxi's expression.

She seemed to be seeking her opinion.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yanxi said breezily, "All right, then it's settled!"

"You agreed?"

Zhou Wanting felt surprised.

After all, she is the captain of the police squad.

They asked her to do odd jobs, and she didn't even object?

"Why not agree?"

"The wages are settled daily, thirty yuan a day!"

"Where can you find such a good deal?"

"Wanting, don't overthink it; you're experienced too, so just show me the ropes when you have time!"

Liu Yanxi said with a smile.

Afterwards, Li Jiaci stood up.

"No delay—let's get moving!"

"There are still a bunch of middlemen outside waiting to pick up the goods!"

"You first help Liu Jiang keep an eye on things!"

After giving those instructions,

Liu Yanxi naturally rolled up her sleeves and strode out.

Seeing that, Zhou Wanting pressed her lips and had no choice but to follow.

"I have to say, you really have no temper at all!"

"When we argue, your sharp tongue seems like it could swallow me whole!"

"How could you agree so readily to Li Jiaci's unreasonable demand?"

"Where did all that temper go?"

"Is it that your temper is only directed at me?"

Zhou Wanting questioned resentfully.

Liu Yanxi looked at the long line of people waiting outside and said softly, "Don't you see? This is Li Jiaci giving us an opportunity. Being suspended means we've lost our rations, but here at least we don't have to worry about food and shelter, we get wages, and we have a place to sleep—why not take it?"

"You mean Li Jiaci doesn't blame us at all?"

Zhou Wanting exclaimed anxiously, "Then why are we still here? Let's just leave!"

"What, do you have somewhere else to go?"

"……"

"Since you don't, just stay here honestly!"

Liu Yanxi really likes this place.

There aren't so many scheming and backstabbing, and no need to worry about being set up to take the fall.

Every day, as soon as she opens her eyes, she's counting money.

Anyone would like a life like this.

Zhou Wanting muttered resentfully, "If I hadn't drunk too much last night, I wouldn't have come here!"

Just then,

Outside the door, a middleman shouted, "Hey? The goods I received are wrong—did you guys make a mistake?"

The two of them marched out in unison.

Zhou Wanting was responsible for checking the goods on the truck.

Liu Yanxi, meanwhile, inquired about the situation from the middleman.

Witnessing this scene,

Li Jiaci smiled with his hands behind his back.

……

The news of his reinstatement caused no ripple.

Shiqiang Mu Cai Chang, however, had already moved into a brand-new building.

It was a five- to six-story building with hundreds of computers and over a thousand office staff.

While everyone was busy with this,

Li Jiaci, however, suddenly announced that he wanted to be a hands-off manager.

He would leave all the matters to others to handle.

This decision was too hasty and too bold.

It soon drew opposition from everyone.

That evening.

Everyone gathered in Li Jiaci's office.

Led by Hong Bo, they were the first to voice opposition to Li Jiaci's decision.

"Boss, how can you just say you're not working and stop working at a time like this?"

"Those clients only recognize you, not us!"

"If you don't show up, who will they take us seriously?"

Then Zhang Chuqiang also said: "Brother, if you're tired, you can rest a few days; we can wait!"

Others expressed the same attitude.

Li Jiaci remained silent.

He lit cigarette after cigarette.

Liu Jiang asked: "Brother, are you facing some trouble?"

"Yes, speak up and we'll all help think of a solution!"

"Now Deputy Section Chief Zhou and Liu Team are here too; they have wide connections, nothing is a problem for them!"

"You keep it bottled up inside, and we brothers can only watch anxiously!"

"Brother, hurry up and say what exactly is the matter!"

……

Everyone was talking at once.

Li Jiaci's head hurt from the noise.

He simply waved his hand and said: "I'm not unhappy about anything!"

"Then why did you suddenly quit?"

Zhang Chuqiang asked.

"I didn't say I'm quitting; I just want you to cover for me for a while while I handle some personal matters!"

Li Jiaci spoke vaguely.

After a few more people pressed him, he got up and left directly.

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Chen asked Wang Yingna: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with our brother?"

"You're asking me?"

"I still want to find someone to ask!"

Wang Yingna shook her head.

Suddenly she turned to Liu Yanxi, leaned in and said: "You're Maozi, with extraordinary intuition—tell us why he's like this!"

"I'm Maozi, not a god!"

"If even you close ones don't know, where am I supposed to find out?"

"Right, Wanting?"

Liu Yanxi tossed the topic to Zhou Wanting.

Only saw Zhou Wanting pretentiously stroke her chin, then lower her voice and say: "In my view, Li Jiaci suddenly dropping everything means he has something big to do!"

"What big thing?"

Everyone immediately gathered around.

Zhou Wanting narrowed her eyes, staring at Wang Yingna's curious little face.

"The problem lies with you!"

"What? What's wrong with me?"

Wang Yingna was clueless.

"Li Jiaci wants to propose to you!"

【110】 "Whoa! Is that for real?"

"Whoa! Is that for real?"

"It must be true; my intuition has always been spot-on!"

"Congratulations, sister-in-law! Hahaha!"

So from that day on,

Wang Yingna was always ready to accept Li Jiaci's proposal.

She bought many pretty clothes, changing four or five times a day, put on makeup, and kept an eye on Li Jiaci's movements.

But she waited over half a month.

Li Jiaci also showed no sign.

This made her wonder just how elaborate a proposal Li Jiaci was planning, preparing for so long yet not acting.

"Wanting, you're not joking with me, are you? Jiaci Ge hasn't even given me a proper look these past few days, we've lain in bed without any intimacy—what proposal? There's not a trace of it!"

Wang Yingna felt vexed, and went to Zhou Wanting to vent her complaints.

Hearing this, Zhou Wanting smiled and said, "Sister, you need to stay calm!"

"But I feel this matter simply doesn't exist!"

Wang Yingna sat on the bed's edge, swinging her legs as she spoke.
