Old Deng awakens: He starts by eliminating the yoga pants in the county town!

boom! boom! boom!

Lin Dawei jerked the cigarette in his hand, and a spark fell onto his trouser leg, burning him.

Outside the car window, Yamamoto stood there, his face tense.

The eyes behind the glasses were staring straight at him.

Lin Dawei's heart sank suddenly.

That surge of energy just now vanished instantly, like a bucket of cold water being poured over my head.

He held his breath and rolled down the car window a crack.

"Section Chief Yamamoto."

Yamamoto didn't waste any words with him.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

He paused, then added.

"What were you doing upstairs just now?"

Lin Dawei's back was covered in sweat, but he didn't show it on his face. He casually held up the crumpled receipt.

"One copy of the stamped form is missing."

"I only realized something was missing when I was about to leave, so I had to go back to find it."

He handed the form forward.

"This order wasn't stamped, so I've wasted my time today."

Yamamoto didn't reply, but just stared at the paper in his hand, then looked up at him.

"Have you found them?"

Lin Dawei's heart tightened.

That bastard, he asked the question so softly, but his eyes were like he was scanning the room.

He pretended to be annoyed and anxious, and continued the conversation.

"If I had found someone, I would have finished building it and left long ago. Why would I be sitting here drying in the sun?"

"I looked around upstairs and downstairs, but there was no one in the duty room."

"Section Chief, could you please give me an answer? Can this copy be replaced today? If not, I'll come back another day. Just don't let the finance department refuse to settle my account later."

He abruptly steered the conversation back to the process.

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to ask another question.

Just then, the glass door of the office building was pushed open.

Liu Li came out from inside, walking a little slower than usual.

Her hair was retied, but it was a bit messy, with two stray strands still hanging by her ears.

The collar was buttoned up too quickly, and the top and bottom weren't completely aligned. She had obviously applied powder to her face, but she still couldn't cover up the redness at the corners of her eyes.

As soon as she stepped off the stairs, she saw Lin Dawei by the car.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air.

Liu Li was somewhat surprised that Lao Deng was still there and had even clashed with the section chief.

Her face darkened, and her tone became even harsher than during the day.

Why haven't you left yet?

Lin Dawei didn't say anything, but just waved the order form in his hand.

One is missing.

Yamamoto turned to Liu Li, "What's going on with his order?"

Liu Li didn't care at all that things hadn't gone well, and kept drawing out her words to Yamamoto.

"Section Chief~~"

"I had something urgent to attend to just now, and I forgot about it when I got busy."

After she finished speaking, she gave Yamamoto a slight bow, her lips curving upwards in a slightly seductive smile.

Yamamoto looked at her for two seconds.

My gaze slowly moved from her face to her neckline, and then to her yoga pants.

"I'll let it go this time, but next time, no matter how busy I am, I'll make sure to get my work done first."

"Make up for his bill and let him go."

"Finish it, then come to my office."

Liu Li smiled and said, "Yes."

She turned around and raised her chin at Lin Dawei.

"Come with me."

Lin Dawei took the receipt and followed her into the small office next to the duty officer on the first floor.

The air conditioning in the room was set very low, but the fine sweat around Liu Li's neck hadn't gone away yet.

She opened the drawer, took out the stamp and registration book, and moved quickly, wanting to get rid of the person as soon as possible.

"Don't you guys who run errands all have the same problem?"

"Even if you lose one order, someone else will have to cover it for you."

With a snap.

She slammed the register onto the table.

"Are you satisfied now that I've been reprimanded by the section chief today?"

Lin Dawei stood opposite him, without responding.

The fire in Liu Li's heart burned even brighter.

Seeing Lin Dawei's face now makes her so annoyed she wants to throw things.

"Say something!"

"Are you mute?"

Lin Dawei then spoke, his voice not loud.

"I'll just take the order slip."

Just four simple words, but he didn't smile apologetically like he usually does.

Liu Li paused, then angrily picked up the seal.

boom.

The first stamp went down crooked.

She stared at the red mark, her face growing even uglier, and then moved it to another spot to reapply it.

Lin Dawei stood to the side, his gaze fixed on her.

He was still wearing the modified navy blue yoga pants. The fabric was very tight, the waistline was cinched, but his legs weren't as stable as before, and he seemed a bit awkward.

Liu Li felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and suddenly looked up.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Dawei didn't say anything else, nor did he look away; he continued watching.

Liu Li felt even more uncomfortable from the silence, her ears were burning, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse.

"A toad trying to eat swan meat."

"Don't you even look at yourself?"

Lin Dawei finally reached out and snatched the covered sheet from her fingertips.

"Alright."

"As long as the list is complete, that's fine." His tone was unusually calm.

Liu Li couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.

She felt that this man was different, as if he knew something.

Footsteps came from upstairs.

Yamamoto seemed to be standing on the second-floor railing, looking down.

Liu Li's shoulders tensed, and her voice immediately rose.

"Take the order and get out of here!"

"If you lose it again next time, I'll have the finance department hold your payment!"

Lin Dawei folded the receipt and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Um."

He turned and walked out.

But as he walked out the door, he could still feel Liu Li's gaze fixed on his back.

Close the door and light the fire.

The engine shuddered twice, then finally roared to life.

He gripped the steering wheel, his palms still wet.

If things had been a little messy or I had missed a single word, what happened today would have been far more than just a fright.

He let out a long breath and kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Let's get through today first.

As for the later accounts, we'll settle them slowly.

The truck slowly drove out of the factory area.

Liu Li stood at the entrance on the first floor until the old truck turned out of the factory gate before she looked away.

"Liu Sang".

Yamamoto's voice came from upstairs.

Liu Li took a breath, forced a smile, and started walking upstairs.

With each step she took, she felt her calves tighten.

When they arrived at the office door, Yamamoto had already sat back down at his desk.

The tie was straightened again, and the documents on the table were neatly arranged, as if nothing had happened.

He looked at her.

"Did that driver get on here just now?"

Liu Li's heart skipped a beat.

But a hint of grievance appeared on her face first.

"No, section chief, I didn't see anyone."

Yamamoto stared at her for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked up to her.

He reached out and pinched her chin, but not with much force.

"Take off your coat."

Liu Li didn't think much of it, only that she was attractive enough to entice Yamamoto to have a second chance at love.

She forced herself to endure the pain and prepare to fight another battle.

But things turned out completely differently than she had imagined!

As usual, Yamamoto only lasted three minutes before finishing hastily, leaving her feeling awkward and uncomfortable.

Yamamoto was completely unlike his previous ferocity, making her doubt that he was the same person.

wrong.

That's completely wrong.

Yamamoto's hands are delicate, and the strength he uses is different.

Even the frequency of their breaths falling on my ear wasn't the same.

A chill instantly ran down Liu Li's back.

When Yamamoto saw her staring blankly, his expression darkened, assuming she was dissatisfied.

"What are you spacing out for?"

"You think I'm not strong enough?"

Liu Li then came to her senses and quickly lowered her head.

"no."

"The section chief did a great job. He held on for an extra minute today. He'll definitely get stronger next time."

Yamamoto snorted.

He paced back and forth in the room a couple of times, and finally uttered a sentence.

"Be more careful next time, so that no problems arise."

"Don't let anyone find out."

Liu Li nodded quickly.

"clear."

Yamamoto didn't look at her again and turned to look at the documents on the table.

The meaning is already quite clear.

She can go out now.

Liu Li left the office and closed the door behind her.

There was no one in the corridor.

She stood there for a few seconds, her hands slowly clenching into fists.

My mind is in complete chaos.

While she was downstairs completing her order, Lin Dawei didn't say a single extra word, yet his eyes looked over as if he saw through everything.

And there's the smell of sweat and smoke.

It looks so much like the one left in the house before.

However, the previous battles were so intense and enjoyable that she overlooked them.

Liu Li stood there, her face gradually turning pale.

Thinking of Lin Dawei's silent demeanor when she was downstairs making up the order, and the way he stared at her, Liu Li felt a sudden jolt in her stomach and her scalp tingled.

She bit her lip and clenched the edge of the paper tightly in her palm.

"Lin Dawei..."

She murmured the name.

Her voice was soft, yet it carried a tremor she herself was unaware of.

He will come to the factory again next time.

She was determined to get to the bottom of this.
