973 You’re Exploiting Secretary Shao Too Much, You Should Give Him a Few Days Off

What Zi Yi found even more strange was, Zhou Shiyu who had always been gentle toward Zhou Shijin also yelled back, “You f*cking told me you aren’t straight all of a sudden and I was unable to accept it right away. Can’t I be a little harsh with my words?!”

Zi Yi looked at Zhou Shijin with a scorching gaze. She imagined the scene and Zhou Shijin’s tone of voice when he told Zhou Shiyu about his sexual orientation. What this proud guy said must have been extremely infuriating and it was no wonder Zhou Shiyu was unwilling to see him.

However, Zhou Shijin’s eyes were red right now and he looked as if he was about to cry at any moment. Zi Yi’s lips moved, but she ended up swallowing her words. She said sympathetically to Zhou Shiyu who was on the other side of the phone, “It’s been hard on you to have such a younger brother.”

Zi Yi sensed Zhou Shijin’s piercing gaze.

!!
She pretended not to feel anything and continued to speak, “You should come back and discipline this type of disobedient younger brother who has zero talking skills. If he doesn’t listen, you should just give him a beating. It’s better than you remaining abroad and remaining angry. He wouldn’t know that you’re angry at him either.”

Zhou Shiyu was silent for some time and did not say anything. Moments later, he seemed to have thought things through. “You’re right, this kind of disobedient younger brother should be beaten. I’ll go make arrangements right away and book a plane ticket home.”

With that, he hung up the call.

Zi Yi put away her phone and looked at Zhou Shijin who was sitting opposite her with a complicated expression that was about to become distorted. She asked him, “Your brother is coming home soon. What are your plans?”

Zhou Shijin did not look at her. He acted as if he was unaffected and slumped on the chair arrogantly. “What could I possibly have planned? I’ll just wait for him to come back and give me a beating.”

Zi Yi: “…”

Why does she sense a hint of expectation in his tone of voice?

Could it be her hallucination?

Just then, Zhou Shijin suddenly stood up and Zi Yi looked at him. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and raised his chin. “I suddenly remembered that I seem to be lacking something. I’ll go and buy it.”

Zi Yi crossed her arms and said with a sneer, “There’s only half an hour left out of the two hours. Are you sure you’ll be able to find the thing you want to buy?”

If she remembered correctly, Zhou Shiyu was the one who arranged and bought everything he used.

Zhou Shijin pretended not to hear her sarcasm and walked away.

In the end, only Zi Yi remained in the room. She took out her phone and hacked into the mall. Soon, she found where Situ Qin and Zhang Ya were.

They were currently in a drink shop on the first floor.

Both of them seem to be in high spirits.

Subsequently, she checked what Situ Qin’s company does. Only then did she learn that they were a planning company who mainly undertook the planning and publicity of a company’s product.

This type of company sounded good on the surface, but it was very difficult to succeed.

After all, there were too many competitors in the market.

The two hours were up very soon. When the five of them gathered in the lobby on the first floor, the things they bought were sent to the club by the mall staff.

Zi Yi took out her phone and checked how much they had spent. “It seems like you guys aren’t exactly daring in terms of spending money. In the future, if I bring you to the mall again, the least you can spend is five hundred thousand.”

“WOW!” the racers shouted in surprise.

In particular, Qian Ping. “If I had known, I would have bought all the racing car models I liked.”

A few other male racers also expressed their desire to buy racing car models.

Zi Yi waited for them to finish their discussion before she said, “If you all perform well, I can buy the model of car you want as a reward. But if you wander off or have other thoughts during training, then there won’t be any reward. Instead, you will be punished.”

Zi Yi was not cracking a joke with them. Other than the racers, the [Future Racing Club] was filled with robots and advanced technology. As long as they have any other thoughts or try to skive off, those advanced technologies would immediately detect this anomaly. The manager robot would then give out punishment.

Zi Yi threw them a carrot and a stick before sending them back to the racing club.

She then headed to the Lu Group’s headquarters to look for Lu Jingye.

This time around, she directly headed upstairs from the basement with Lu Jingye’s personal lift.

When she reached the top floor, everyone was swamped with work. Zi Yi walked to Lu Jingye’s office and just as she was about to knock, she saw Secretary Shao coming out from a nearby office. He was looking through the documents in his hand while walking.

Zi Yi called out to him, “Secretary Shao.”

Secretary Shao immediately looked over and greeted her. “Miss President.”

“Thanks for your card. How much is there on here? I’ll get Ah Jing to transfer it to you.”

“There’s not much. Only a few hundred thousand. The President has already transferred it to me.”

Zi Yi nodded her head and raised her hand with the intention to knock on the door.

Secretary Shao reminded her. “The President is in a meeting in the conference room.”

Zi Yi nodded and directly opened the door to Lu Jingye’s office and headed inside.

Secretary Shao stood there and thought for a few seconds. In the end, he turned around and informed Lu Jingye of the news that Zi Yi had come.

Lu Jingye was not in the office but Zi Yi still sat down on the sofa in the office and played with her mobile phone.

It was not known how long she had sat there when the door to the office was pushed open.

Lu Jingye entered the office in large strides and his gaze subconsciously turned to his wife who was nested on the sofa.

Zi Yi turned to look at him. At the sight of him coming in, she revealed a radiant smile. “Ah Jing, are you done with your meeting?”

Lu Jingye put the laptop in his hand on the table before he walked over to Zi Yi in large strides.

Zi Yi pulled his hand and got him to sit next to her. “Ah Jing, what time will you be knocking off today?”

“Five o’clock.”

Zi Yi was delighted at the news. “In that case, let’s head to the Professors’ residential area in M.Uni later.”

Subsequently, she told him about the situation she encountered today and said, “It just so happens that I haven’t checked up on Situ Hong for several months. I’ll make use of this time to give him a check-up.”

Lu Jingye surely did not have any objections.

At five o’clock in the evening, Lu Jingye clocked off work.

When both of them made their way out, they just so happened to meet Secretary Shao again. Lu Jingye said to him, “If there is anything, tell me tomorrow. I’ve finished work off.”

Secretary Shao who was planning to give him a report nodded his head and turned to leave.

Zi Yi looked at Secretary Shao and said with a smile, “You’re exploiting Secretary Shao too much. You should give him a few days off. Otherwise, he will become a working machine soon.”

Lu Jingye felt that what she said made sense and so, he stopped and said to Secretary Shao, “If there isn’t any pressing work on hand, you can take a few days off.”

Secretary Shao turned around and asked Zi Yi, “I wish to watch the racing competition on the 25th, Mrs. President, can you give me an internal ticket?”

“You didn’t buy one?”

“I was busy when the tickets were for sale. After I was done, the tickets were already sold out.”

Zi Yi smiled and nodded her head. “No problem.”

Subsequently, she asked, “Is one ticket enough? Do you want to bring a few friends along or maybe your girlfriend?”

Secretary Shao said sullenly, “I don’t have a girlfriend. My friends aren’t available on that day either.”

With that, he walked away.
