Chapter 5: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
The next day, Linzhi received an employment notice from Dongning and started working the following Monday.

I officially became an inconspicuous clerk in the Finance Department of Dongning Group. Every day I was ordered to do this and that by the old employees. I was so busy that I was dizzy and fell asleep as soon as I returned to school.

These days, Zhou Ye disappeared and didn't contact her at all, but she saw Zhou Congli several times.

Most of the time he was surrounded by people and walked past her, and all she could see was a tall black figure from behind.

Once in the cafeteria, he was eating with several department leaders. His tall and straight figure stood out from the crowd, making the leaders look ugly. The female employees were crazy about him and complained that those leaders did not pay attention to their body management.

Another time, she went out for some fresh air during her lunch break and unexpectedly ran into Zhou Congli. He was holding his cell phone and talking on the phone, and his expression was three degrees colder than usual.

She was about to leave, Zhou Congli said "It's up to you" and hung up the phone, then turned around and saw her.

"Boss." She looked embarrassed: "I came out to get some fresh air. I didn't know you were here..."

I guess there is a woman on the other end of the phone, maybe the heroine.

Zhou Congli said "It's okay".

When he saw her, he thought of the cufflink. Assistant Zhang found out that the hotel surveillance had been deleted and the person could not be found for the time being, but it was confirmed that it was not the person arranged by the partner.

So that day, he was tricked.

He looked at the woman opposite him scrutinizingly. She was wearing a black and white business suit, with curved eyes on her small face and long hair draped softly behind her. Her whole temperament was gentle and sweet.

Was it her? She deliberately set him up and even went into the company to get close to him.

As the president of Dongning, he has indeed encountered many women who used various means to get close to him in order to get ahead, including some actresses in the entertainment industry, but he has never succeeded.

There was only one accident last time, and that was the only time.

Seeing Zhou Congli staring at her with an unpredictable expression, Lin Zhi said embarrassedly, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll be back soon." Suddenly, he frowned, covered his mouth and began to dry heave.

Zhou Congli stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhi covered her chest with her hands, feeling so uncomfortable that tears welled up in her eyes: "I've been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach these past two days and have been wanting to vomit. President, could you please pour me a glass of water?"

Zhou Congli's heart skipped a beat for some reason, but he suppressed his uneasiness and nodded, "Wait a minute." He went to get a glass of water.

Lin Zhi felt much better after drinking and thanked him embarrassedly: "Thank you, President. I'm sorry to bother you again. It's getting late, I'll go back to work and won't disturb you anymore." She smiled at him and left quickly.

Zhou Congli looked at her back, his brows furrowed little by little.

Lin Zhi returned to her workstation, took two big gulps of water, and then looked down at her belly. Unexpectedly, the baby was still a troublemaker. However, judging from Zhou Congli's appearance just now, he should have checked what happened that night and must have discovered that things were not what he imagined.

Zhou Ye handled this matter very carefully. The hotel surveillance had been deleted, and it was not easy to investigate without a target.

She stroked her belly. The baby was already one week old and could be detected using instruments. But there was no rush. Of course, the father had to be with her for such a thing.

But now she had to go to Zhou's house first.

So after get off work she took the initiative to contact Zhou Ye and reminded him not to forget to pick her up the next day.

After two hours of sending messages, no one responded, so she called. Zhou Ye picked up the phone belatedly, panting and very angrily: "Who? Get out of here, no matter what!" Lin Zhi's expression remained unchanged: "Have you read the message I sent you? Come pick me up tomorrow."

Zhou Ye just remembered it, but he was very impatient: "I know, I didn't forget. Hang up, don't bother me if you have nothing else."

A female voice sounded: "Aye, who's calling?"

Zhou Ye quickly leaned over and said in a gentle voice: "No one, baby, let me kiss you." Then he hung up the phone with a "beep beep beep".

Linzhi...it's such a loud noise, do you really think she can't hear it?

But the goal was about to be achieved, so it was normal for these two to be a little arrogant. They must have done it many times behind his back. Tsk, they didn't take his elder brother (fiancé) seriously at all.

"Pack it up." She handed the clothes she had chosen to the clerk. After all, it was her first time visiting the store. Tomorrow, in addition to the Zhou couple, there would definitely be the heroine, and Zhou Congli might be there too. She had to pick out two nice clothes to decorate her appearance.

After shopping, I had a meal in the mall and carried the things back. Today is Friday, so there were quite a lot of people taking taxis.

Lin Zhi was standing on the roadside waiting in line for a bus, looking around, when suddenly she saw Zhou Congli and three or four other people coming out of the club across the road and standing on the roadside chatting.

There are many high-end restaurants, hotels and clubs near this shopping mall. You can often see various luxury cars, rich second-generation beauties dressed in different styles going in. There are also people conducting business negotiations here. It is obvious that Zhou Congli is also here to discuss work.

Linzhi couldn't help but sigh that he was such a workaholic, he was still busy after get off work.

However, while he was working so hard to negotiate cooperation here, his fiancée was fooling around with his own younger brother.

Maybe her gaze was too direct, but Zhou Congli glanced over here, turned around and said a few words to his partner, then got into the car and left. Linzhi blinked. There were so many people around, so no one should have seen her, right?
"Beep..." After a while, a car stopped in front of them, and the window rolled down, revealing Assistant Zhang's face: "Ms. Lin, do you need a ride?"

Lin Zhi subconsciously looked towards the back seat. The black blackout window prevented her from seeing inside. She nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior." As she was about to open the passenger seat, Assistant Zhang glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "How about you sit in the back?"

Lin Zhi's face flashed with surprise, but she didn't say anything. She opened the back door and saw Zhou Congli hesitated: "President?"

Zhou Congli nodded: "Come up."

Lin Zhi had no choice but to say, "Thank you, President."

After closing the door and starting the car, Zhou Congli glanced at her and said, "I saw you waiting for the car just now. I happened to have something to do at A University, so I'll give you a ride." He paused, "Last time you were feeling unwell, did you go for a checkup?"

Lin Zhi smiled in a standard way, and was very grateful for her boss's concern: "Thank you for your concern, President. I will go again after I have a day off next week."

Zhou Congli: "Good health is important, don't delay." He then asked her casually whether she had adapted to the company and other questions. Linzhi answered them one by one and could not find any fault with them.

In the dim light, Zhou Congli saw her soft outline, a smile on her lips, and a faint, familiar warm fragrance emanating from her body.

The calm heartstrings were suddenly disturbed, but the car just stopped at the school gate at this time. Lin Zhi had already thanked them and got out of the car, waving goodbye to them while holding the bag.

"President?" Assistant Zhang noticed that his expression was not right.

Zhou Congli: "Check Linzhi."

Assistant Zhang nodded: "Yes." He later found out that the cufflink was actually in Lin Zhi's hand. When he saw the president asking someone to get in the car tonight, he guessed that he would investigate Lin Zhi. After all, everything was too coincidental.
