Lu Lin and Qu Jing both entered the office.
Before closing the door, Zhou Yuwen said to Liu Shuo, "Take care of these guys, will you?"
Liu Shuo nodded, indicating he had it covered.
Xiao Yang and his crew had already been taught a lesson, it wasn’t like they were really going to do anything else to them.
Zhou Yuwen was no longer planning to intervene.
The next steps were up to Liu Shuo, after all, Zhou Yuwen didn’t want them spouting nonsense outside.
And this was right up Liu Shuo’s alley.
Just find a few people, pull them up, and take them to the alley behind the billiards room.
"Bro, you won’t talk about this once we let you go back, right?"
Liu Shuo asked ’nicely’.
Before they realized it, it was nearly eight o’clock, the sky had already darkened, the commercial street’s lights were up, and it began to bustle outside.
Zhou Yuwen’s office was decently decorated; although it felt a bit worn, the space was quite large, with a ceiling height of almost four meters. Behind the boss’s chair, the floor-to-ceiling window formed a semi-arc facing the commercial street.
After entering the office, Zhou Yuwen drew the curtains closed. His phone was still ringing incessantly. Upon checking, it was Tao Tian calling.
This was the third call Tao Tian had made to him.
Initially, Tao Tian was just sending messages to Zhou Yuwen.
She asked Zhou Yuwen, "Did you arrange for Lu Lin to join the company?"
At that time, Zhou Yuwen was discussing serious matters at Zhao Jun’s labor company and didn’t respond to Tao Tian.
Then, Tao Tian became more and more anxious and continued to ask Zhou Yuwen: "Do you know about my conflict with Zheng Yanyan?" Enjoy exclusive chapters from Freewebnovel
"I didn’t mean to hide it from you; she was the one who came looking for trouble first."
Zhou Yuwen had initially planned to deal with it when he got back, but then Qu Jing’s issue came up.
So, Zhou Yuwen hadn’t responded to Tao Tian at all up to now.
And on Tao Tian’s side, the more Zhou Yuwen ignored her, the more anxious she became. Since she had been with Zhou Yuwen, Tao Tian’s status had risen.
Previously, she was just a small literary club head, and people would just greet her when they saw her.
Since she got together with Zhou Yuwen, he really helped them earn money, so these girls from the literary club definitely respected Tao Tian even more, not just the ones from their school.
Even part-time girls from other schools...
Who wouldn’t call her "Sister Tiantian" when they saw her?
Now Zhou Yuwen had suddenly started giving her the cold shoulder, how could Tao Tian not overthink it?
Did she do something wrong?
Why wouldn’t he answer her calls?
He even promoted Lu Lin to be the company’s deputy manager.
He couldn’t really be planning to sideline her, could he?
Was it because she had bullied Zheng Yanyan?
No, Zhou Yuwen loved her. The reason he hadn’t broken up with Zheng Yanyan was that he had no excuse to do so.
Was it because she didn’t tell him about it and that made him angry?
Tao Tian was somewhat frantic; she didn’t know why Zhou Yuwen was suddenly giving her the silent treatment.
But no matter the reason...
Tao Tian still apologized first.
Especially since she kept calling Zhou Yuwen and he wouldn’t answer.
So, Tao Tian sent a pitiful message to Zhou Yuwen.
"Please, don’t be mad, okay? I know I was wrong (in distress)."
"It’s not that I intentionally didn’t tell you, I just didn’t want to trouble you, I wanted to help you solve problems (in distress)."
"Can you please talk to me (looking pitiful)?"
"If you ignore me, I can’t do anything right (sobbing)."
Seeing that Zhou Yuwen was still ignoring her, Tao Tian sent him a few emojis of a little dog wagging its tail.
She sent a few more [missing my husband] emojis.
Zhou Yuwen saw them, but now he had no time to deal with Tao Tian’s matter.
He glanced at Qu Jing, who was still standing there.
At this moment, Qu Jing no longer had the arrogance she had when she first arrived. Her hair was a mess after being hammered by Lu Lin, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled from being pulled at by Lu Lin.
And because Zhou Yuwen had arrived, she had indeed been scared, looking pitiful, with tears in her eyes, which were now red.
She stood there with a look of grievance, watching Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen sat down on the long sofa for guests and said to her, "Come over here and sit down, let’s talk. The truth is, I came over for another matter. Come, sit here, and we can chat slowly."
Qu Jing was really scared. She was the kind of girl with a simple mind. On top of hearing some rumors about Xu Huai, she witnessed what had happened today, and her legs were weak.
There were many people around earlier, which truly frightened Qu Jing. Now that there were fewer people, her legs became so weak they gave out, and she simply started crying again, "Zhou, Zhou Yuwen, I truly realize my mistake, I didn’t know Lu Lin was your woman, if I had known, I certainly wouldn’t have done this with her, Zhou Yuwen, I—I’m kneeling for you, please let me go, okay?"
Just now, she heard Zhou Yuwen say he was going to deal with Xiao Yang and those guys, and now her legs gave out, she simply knelt down on the carpet.
Zhou Yuwen was startled and said, "What are you doing? Senior sister, please don’t do this, you’re making it seem like I am some kind of tyrant, please, stop this."
Zhou Yuwen quickly went over to help Qu Jing, telling her to stop crying.
I didn’t really want to do anything to you, and moreover, I came to see you for another matter.
"Don’t cry, don’t cry, we are now in a society ruled by law, I won’t do anything to you, alright, alright, stop crying, there, it’s okay, don’t cry, sorry to scare you." Zhou Yuwen was not good at comforting girls, seeing Qu Jing crying so fearfully, he thought of just patting her head to calm her down.
But he unexpectedly made her cry even louder, and Zhou Yuwen intended to help her stand up, but she threw herself into his arms, hugging Zhou Yuwen while crying and saying, Zhou Yuwen I really made a mistake, please don’t hit me, okay?
I’m scared.

Zhou Yuwen said, "I never said I’d hit you."
"Wuwuwu."
Qu Jing said nothing else, just threw herself into Zhou Yuwen’s embrace and cried, clutching his arm against her chest, tears squeezing out drop by drop. They say that girls look prettier when they cry, and this saying does seem to be true. Qu Jing, with her double eyelids, crying, really had the look of a lotus flower emerging from water, pitiable and lovely.
When girls cry, their voices can sound somewhat coquettish.
Qu Jing’s voice was just like this, pitifully and plaintively admitting her mistake.
"Zhou Yuwen, please don’t bully me, okay?" Her voice was very soft and sweet, and it felt... deliberate.
Lu Lin, looking on, rolled her eyes. As a woman herself, how could she fail to understand Qu Jing?
Zhou Yuwen said, "Alright, alright, I won’t hit you; I won’t hit you."
How could I possibly hit you? It’s a civilized society.
Furthermore, you’re my senior.
"There, don’t cry, there."
Now that she had sought refuge in his arms, Zhou Yuwen, unlike Liu Shuo, knew how to treasure and cherish women, and he definitely patted Qu Jing’s head to stop her from crying.
Zhou Yuwen had his way of comforting girls, saying, "Alright, alright, stop crying now, there, that’s a good girl. Let’s not cry, crying doesn’t look good on you."
Look at you, looking like a big teary cat. Come on, wipe those tears away."
Zhou Yuwen took a tissue and helped Qu Jing dry her tears.
Women are very strange creatures.
The men who are incessantly good to them, they take for granted.
But like Zhou Yuwen, helping her wipe tears and talking to her gently.
She would think, Zhou Yuwen is so gentle, and even those few words from him could make her feel like she has a fatherly figure, inexplicably wanting to cuddle into Zhou Yuwen’s arms and act spoiled.
She really liked being held by Zhou Yuwen like that.
So taking advantage of the situation, Qu Jing simply clung to Zhou Yuwen.
She pretended to be a little girl, letting Zhou Yuwen comfort her.
And Zhou Yuwen let her be, saying, "Okay, okay, stop crying now."
"I didn’t intend to hit you or anything, do I look like a bad guy?" Zhou Yuwen asked, patting her back.
Qu Jing hurriedly shook her head indicating no.
"Hmm. I actually came over this time to ask you a question," Zhou Yuwen said softly, patting her back.
Qu Jing was no longer making a scene. She felt Zhou Yuwen was still nice to her; there might be a chance for herself.
Until Zhou Yuwen asked in a gentle tone, "I heard from Linlin that you called Yanyan a ’bitch’ the other day, is that right?"
