Chapter 4: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
Lin Zhi looked at the figure disappearing in the elevator and inexplicably felt that it was Zhou Congli.

Just at this moment, she was called. She calmed herself down and went into the office for the interview. There were three examiners, and each of them asked questions. She was not modest and talked about her advantages. In the end, they asked her to go back and wait for notification.

Lin Zhi saw that it was already noon and was about to eat nearby before going back to school. When the elevator door opened, she saw Zhou Congli standing inside, rubbing his brows.

I didn't know whether to go in or wait for the elevator next door.

Zhou Congli put down his hand: "Go down?"

Lin Zhi nodded, walked in calmly, and stood next to the elevator door. Two figures, one tall and one short, were projected on the wall.

Zhou Congli had regained his gentle expression at this time, but he still gave people a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

In fact, neither of them saw each other clearly that day, and he couldn't recognize her at this time.

Ding, the elevator stopped. Several Dongning employees were standing at the door. They were originally chatting and laughing, but when they saw Zhou Congli, they all shut up.

Zhou Congli: "Will you come in?"

The employees outside all shook their heads, and a man who looked like a manager quickly pressed the elevator button: "We are not in a hurry, Mr. Zhou, please go first."

The elevator door closed. Lin Zhi was thinking about how to greet him. To be the president, he must be a shrewd man. He must have seen all kinds of people. If she said something wrong, he might detect her intention to approach him. At this moment, the elevator clicked and suddenly fell down.

She staggered to the side, but was held firmly by a hand and fell into an embrace with a cold aura.

Zhou Congli looked grim, but his voice was calm: "Don't be afraid."

Dong, the elevator stopped.

The huge impact frightened Lin Zhi so much that she closed her eyes and buried her head in his chest, not daring to look up.

Zhou Congli took a deep breath and found that it was stopped between the tenth and ninth floors. He immediately pressed the alarm button and looked at Lin Zhi: "The maintenance worker will be here soon."

Lin Zhi was still frightened, and quickly let go of him. Her face was pale and she tried to smile: "Thank you for what happened just now, President."

Zhou Congli smiled and said, "Are you here for an interview today? I'm really sorry that you had a bad experience on your first visit to the company."

"But don't worry, Dongning is very efficient and will be out in a while."

The man's voice was gentle, and had a soothing power.

Linzhi quickly said it was okay. Zhou Congli smiled and asked her which position she was applying for, which school she graduated from, etc. After knowing that it was A University, he mentioned several employees in the company who graduated from A University, which effectively eased Linzhi's nervousness.

At this time, the elevator maintenance worker and the company manager finally arrived. After confirming that the person inside was their own president, they immediately started a rescue.

The two stopped talking and waited quietly for the repairman to finish the repair.

Half an hour later, the elevator slowly landed on the first floor. The elevator door opened and several department heads hurriedly got in to help their president. However, they saw that in addition to the president, there was also a strange girl inside.

He was stunned for a moment and looked between the two of them.

Lin Zhi took off her coat uncomfortably and handed it to Zhou Congli: "President, thank you..." The weather in Beijing in May was not too warm, and Zhou Congli was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he lent her his clothes.

At this moment, the bag in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the lipstick, perfume and other things inside spilled out.

A sapphire cufflink rolled to the corner.

Zhou Congli was startled and picked it up subconsciously. The dark blue gem was very valuable at first glance, and it was exactly the same as the one he had lost before. But before he could figure out how the lost gem fell out of Lin Zhi's bag, Lin Zhi had already taken it away and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, President, I'll return the clothes to you."

Zhou Congli was about to ask, but Lin Zhi had already walked out quickly, so he had to say: "This is Miss Lin. She came to the company for an interview today and happened to be stuck in the elevator with me."

"Assistant Zhang and Manager Wang, you will accompany Miss Lin to the hospital to check if she is injured."

He then said to several department heads: "Check the condition of the elevator and then send us a report." His tone became cold as he spoke.

Several leaders nodded repeatedly, knowing that the president must be angry. But it was understandable that he suddenly fell down. Fortunately, the president was not hurt, otherwise they would be finished too.

The person in charge of elevator maintenance was trembling with fear. He had been conducting regular inspections as required, so how could there be a problem?
Zhou Congli didn't care about all this. He looked at Lin Zhi and turned to leave. As a CEO, it was impossible for him to accompany Lin Zhi to the hospital. Sending an assistant and a manager was already enough of an important act.

Lin Zhi didn't want to go to the hospital, but Assistant Zhang begged her with a bitter face, so she had to go. As a result, there was naturally no problem. She declined their enthusiastic invitation to dinner and went straight back to school.

Assistant Zhang returned to the company to report the situation to Zhou Congli. Zhou Congli looked up from the pile of documents and said, "You said you didn't see anyone at the hotel last time. Did you check later?"

Assistant Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered what it was, and suddenly became nervous: "Because you didn't allow me to check, so..."

Zhou Congli: "Go check!"

His cufflink was lost that night, and he had already determined that it was someone arranged by his partner, so he didn't go looking for it. But now that the item appeared in someone else's hands and in front of him, he naturally had to find out.

As for whether it was a similar gemstone? He could recognize it because of something he used so often, but it was difficult to ask directly at that time.

Assistant Zhang: "Yes."

Lin Zhi returned to school and looked at the jeweled cufflinks in her hand. These were dropped that night and kept by the original owner. She had always wanted to return them to Zhou Ye, the culprit, but Zhou Ye refused to see her so she never gave them to him.

Just now she had an idea and took the opportunity to expose the thing, but there was no guarantee that Zhou Congli would be suspicious and check it out. At most, she could test his attitude.

Thinking of today's accident, she couldn't help but feel scared. Her legs really went weak at that time. Although the accidental contact with Zhou Congli made her quite satisfied that he remembered her, the elevator failure was indeed scary.

Fearing that another accident might happen, she decided to see if there was anything in the system that could save her life.

I was shocked when I opened the system.

【Number: 6
Name: Nyingchi

Points: -100]

Lin Zhi??? No, she didn’t do anything, how come she is in debt of 100?

System 6: "Host, when you were in the elevator, the system detected that you had a strong desire to get along with the male partner, so it specially prepared an elevator failure. However, since your current points are zero, you can only deduct points."

Lin Zhi... She had never expected that the so-called "help" would be used in this way, and it could even lead to points being deducted.

"Thank you?" She really didn't know what else to say other than this.

System 6: "You're welcome. The system can help you once in each world. We have used it up in this world. After that, you are on your own."

Linzhi...Okay.
