After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

Chapter 267 You are here, it’s time for me to leave.

"I've always been a petty person. You blame me for this. Do you think I should report this to the police or..."

Shi Lu's voice was deliberately drawn out, which made the deputy manager's heart hang in the air.

When he heard the word "police station", he began to tremble and his speech became stuttering.

"...Yes, yes, he should be severely punished."

He knew in his heart that if he was really sent to the police station, he would lose face, and there would be another difficult challenge waiting for him with the old man.

After a moment... the man opened his thin lips and said slowly: "Then let the deputy manager handle this matter. I hope you can give everyone a fair and just result."

The deputy manager breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Okay, okay."

"Meeting dismissed."

The man's cold voice sounded, and he immediately stood up, stretched out his eye-catching long legs, and left the meeting room with an upright posture.

Everyone looked at his departing back and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had just been lifted off their shoulders.

Soon, there were only three people left in the meeting room.

They all stood trembling in front of the deputy manager, their expressions full of caution.

One of them stammered, "Manager, I...I have already arranged everything properly. I really didn't expect that he could still find out."

The deputy manager glared at him and scolded him harshly: "You idiot! You can't do anything right."

The other person's face was filled with anxiety and fear, and his voice trembled as he asked, "Manager, what should we do next?"

"Mr. Shi really won't send us to the police station, will he? I have two children to raise at home."

The deputy manager yelled irritably, “Shut up!”

.........

In the president's office.

Shi Lu sat quietly in the chair, his eyes focused on the documents in his hands, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

Zhou Xinyu leaned lazily on the table, his eyes full of curiosity, and asked: "Alu, have you noticed it a long time ago?"

Shi Lu slowly raised his head, looked at Zhou Xinyu with deep eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "Guess."

Zhou Xinyu rolled his eyes helplessly, "...But then again, he has been quite active recently, placing his own people in various departments."

As he spoke, he frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes, “This is not a good thing for us.”

Shi Lu nodded slightly, his expression still as calm as water, "Be patient for now, it's hard to say anything about Grandpa."

Zhou Xinyu thought for a moment, "Yes, since the old man left him in Jiang's company, it means that the old man has not given up on him."

"You want to resign?"

"How do you know?" Zhou Xinyu was slightly stunned.

Shi Lu pointed at the pile of documents on the desk, frowning, "You didn't handle these before, how come they are in my hands now?"

Zhou Xinyu touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "You are here, I should leave."

Shi Lu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does Yi Yi know?"

Zhou Xinyu shook his head slowly and sighed softly.

Shi Lu stared at Zhou Xinyu, as if trying to see the answer from his face.

"Two years of hard work, are you so confident in handing it over to me?"

"Don't worry, old man. Why should I be worried? I'm just working for you." Zhou Xinyu's tone was flat, but revealed a hint of helplessness.

He lowered his eyes slightly, knowing that sometimes, letting go was also a choice.

Zhou Xinyu said softly: "Go to work, I'm busy too."

"Okay." Shi Lu nodded, looked at Zhou Xinyu's departing back, and then he went back to his busy work.

I have been thinking about going home tonight to accompany my wife. It seems that as long as I think of that warm figure, I will be motivated to do even the most demanding work.

Time slipped away quietly like the sand in an hourglass. In the blink of an eye, another long afternoon had passed.

……

It was approaching seven o'clock.

Shi Lu looked at the documents on the table that had been almost processed and was about to pack up and go home.

Unexpectedly, the assistant opened the door and walked in hurriedly.

"Boss, Mr. Wang from Ruifeng happens to be in Fengcheng tonight. Xiaowu has already made an appointment. What do you think..."

Shi Lu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brows and said decisively: "Let's go."

The assistant quickly responded: "Okay, the car is waiting downstairs."

Shi Lu walked out of the office and picked up his mobile phone. His slender fingers quickly slid across the screen and sent a message to Jiang Yi.

He told her that he had another temporary work arrangement tonight and asked her not to wait for him.

After a while, the car stopped at a luxurious club.

Shi Lu and his assistant walked into a private room where someone was already waiting.

"Mr. Wang." Shi Lu greeted politely.

"Mr. Shi."

Mr. Wang also quickly stood up, and the two shook hands respectfully, then slowly sat down.

"Mr. Shi, I didn't expect you to be in Fengcheng too. I was surprised when your assistant asked me out." Mr. Wang said with a smile.

Shi Lu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and responded: "My wife is here, so I often go back and forth."

Mr. Wang nodded in sudden realization and continued, "Oh! So, why don't you bring your sister-in-law with you tonight?"

Shi Lu's eyes revealed a touch of tenderness, and he said softly: "She just got pregnant and is not feeling well, so she doesn't go out often recently."

Mr. Wang showed surprise on his face and said quickly: "Congratulations, congratulations, I didn't expect you to be a father at such a young age."

Shi Lu said modestly: "Mr. Wang, you are joking. I am not much different from you in age. You already have several children. I am so envious."

Mr. Wang laughed heartily, and the atmosphere in the box became relaxed and cheerful.

……

The night deepened, slowly covering the earth like thick ink.

The hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsided, and the lively scenes and noisy voices of the day gradually faded away.

People gradually calmed down and immersed themselves in their own dreams.

Shi Lu drank a lot tonight.

After the driver brought him back, he walked into the house with slightly heavy steps.

He went upstairs and paused for a moment at the door of their room, then walked towards the guest room on the side.

He walked straight to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and the water poured down, washing away his fatigue and the smell of alcohol.

After washing up, he walked lightly back to their room.

Under the soft light, seeing the sleeping person, his eyes instantly became extremely gentle.

He gently stretched out his hand and carefully brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen on his forehead. His movements were so gentle that it seemed as if he was touching the most precious treasure in the world.

He was about to bend down and kiss that peaceful sleeping face, but when he thought of the smell of alcohol in his mouth, he resisted the urge.

He carefully covered her with the quilt, and his gentle gaze stayed on her face for a long time.

Then, with a heart full of nostalgia, he quietly returned to the guest bedroom.
