It fell from his fingertips

Tang Luoqing was immediately very worried.

It wasn't that she was worried Zhou Jinbai wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the beautiful woman; the main thing was that the coffee cup in the girl's hand was steaming and looked very hot, and she was worried that Zhou Jinbai would get burned by the hot coffee.

The next moment, Zhou Jinbai slowly slid his chair to the side, and a cup of hot coffee spilled onto the desk, the floor behind the desk, and the French windows, the spilled coffee still faintly steaming.

In short, it landed where Zhou Jinbai had just been sitting.

If Zhou Jinbai hadn't dodged, all that hot coffee would have covered his body and legs in scalding liquid.

It hurts to think about.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou, I... I didn't mean to."

The female employee panicked and wanted to apologize to Zhou Jinbai, but was blocked by Assistant Shen.

"Assistant Shen, please step aside. I want to apologize to President Zhou properly. President Zhou, I'm sorry, I..."

You really should apologize.

Zhou Jinbai's icy voice rang out from behind Assistant Shen.

Upon hearing this voice, Assistant Shen, as if well-trained, stepped aside, but grabbed the female employee's wrist with one hand, preventing her from getting any closer to Zhou Jinbai.

Seeing that she could finally see Zhou Jinbai, the female employee choked back tears and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I... I'll help you clean the table, the floor, and the windows, okay?"

The female employee was secretly delighted.

Although the coffee didn't spill on Zhou Jinbai, it got on his desk, the floor, and the window, which will keep her here for a while. When she's tidying up, she might unbutton a button and accidentally fall on his lap. I don't believe that the man who seems indifferent to women can really remain unmoved.

But before the rest of the plan could be implemented, Zhou Jinbai glanced at the spot where the female employee had splashed water, and coldly lifted his eyelids: "Shen Xiuwen, calculate the losses, send her a lawyer's letter, and fire her."

Before the words were even finished, the female employee's expectations were shattered in an instant.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Zhou Jinbai in disbelief. "Why, Mr. Zhou? I... I really just accidentally spilled coffee. You... you can't fire me for this! I... Mr. Zhou, please don't fire me! I... I'll pay for it, okay? I'll compensate you for the loss, please don't fire me!"

The female employee was terrified, crying her eyes out. Coupled with her exquisite waterproof makeup, she looked like a nightmare to behold.

Unfortunately, she encountered Zhou Jinbai.

Zhou Jinbai didn't look at her again, walked straight out of the office, and left only one sentence for Assistant Shen: "Clean it up and help me get a new office."

He heard the female employee crying and begging for mercy behind him, but Zhou Jinbai ignored her.

Tang Luoqing stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window not far from the door. When she saw Zhou Jinbai come out, she quickly went over to check him up and down to see if he had been burned.

Zhou Jinbai took the things from her hands and ruffled her hair: "You trust me that much? Aren't you jealous?"

"I was jealous. I almost rushed in just now, but I thought better of it."

Tang Luoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Jinbai did not have any burns.

"Why let it go? She's after your husband, aren't you angry?"

Tang Luoqing raised an eyebrow: "I'm not angry. It just means my husband is very charming, and... the way you dodged just now was so handsome. I like it."

With just one sentence, Zhou Jinbai's slight resentment, stirred up by the female employee's behavior, completely dissipated.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the conference room to get something to eat."

Zhou Jinbai led Tang Luoqing by the hand to a quiet conference room.

The meeting room wasn't small, and it felt a bit empty for just two people to eat there.

Zhou Jinbai placed everything on the dining table, and first picked up a piece of purple beef and fed it to Tang Luoqing.

"By the way, is there only one office on this entire floor? The rest are meeting rooms?"

Tang Luoqing recalled that the employee who brought her up not long ago had said that there was only one office on the top floor and that it was easy to find, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhou Jinbai nodded and continued feeding Tang Luoqing.

Tang Luoqing took a few bites and then didn't want to eat anymore, so she told Zhou Jinbai to eat by himself, saying that she had already eaten outside.

Then a question popped into my head: "You said you wanted to change offices, how are you going to do that?"

"It's fine, we can just modify the meeting room. I don't come here often anyway."

Tang Luoqing nodded.

"But why do you only have one office?"

"I don't like having my office on the same floor as other people."

"Huh? But aren't you in Beijing, on the same floor as Zhou Yanchen's office?"

Tang Luoqing asked, puzzled.

After asking the questions, I felt it wasn't appropriate to bring up Zhou Yanchen at this time.

Since Zhou Yanchen went to the overseas branch, he has been doing fairly well there. It seems that Su Leqi went there as well, and the two are now together, but Tang Luoqing did not specifically inquire about the details.

I only saw the above information by chance when I came across Su Leqi's Weibo.

"At that time, I thought that if you went to the company to find Yan Chen, maybe I would have a chance to run into you occasionally."

After saying this, Zhou Jinbai put down his chopsticks, took Tang Luoqing's hand, and asked cautiously, "Don't you think... I was particularly scheming back then?"

Tang Luoqing: "..."

She thought it was because Zhou Yanchen had done a good job that Zhou Jinbai had raised him up from downstairs, but she never expected it was because Zhou Jinbai wanted to see her.

Tang Luoqing was momentarily at a loss for words.

It's normal to be a little calculating when you like someone; after all, if you don't take the initiative, you might get nothing.

The thought that Zhou Jinbai would go to such lengths just to occasionally run into her left her wondering whether to feel sad or happy.

Seeing that Tang Luoqing remained silent, Zhou Jinbai became even more uneasy. He tightened his grip on her hand, but dared not actually hurt her. His voice grew even lower as he spoke: "Wife, are you angry...?"

Tang Luoqing then came to her senses and shook her head: "No, it's just that you seemed so silly back then."

"Eat quickly, I have a surprise for you tonight after you finish eating."

Hearing Tang Luoqing say that she wasn't angry, Zhou Jinbai slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Tang Luoqing found it hard to reconcile the man in front of her with the same man who had just been coldly ignoring the female employee in the office.

Zhou Jinbai took Tang Luoqing's hand and kissed his fingers. After a long while, he asked curiously, "What surprise?"

Tang Luoqing glanced at the doorway to make sure no one was there before leaning close to Zhou Jinbai's ear and whispering, "I stumbled upon a really difficult move today, how about trying it out tonight?"
