After a blind date, she got married and was doted on by a wealthy man.

Chapter 24

Qin Zhaozhao said nothing, just stared into Zhu Li's eyes with a smile.

Zhu Li was obviously uncomfortable being looked at by Qin Zhaozhao.

"Editor-in-Chief, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Qin Zhaozhao still didn't speak.

Zhu Li's eyes began to wander when she met Qin Zhaozhao.

"Editor-in-Chief..."

"Manuscript." Qin Zhaozhao's red lips parted slightly, "Didn't I just tell you? I asked you to write the manuscript yesterday, but you haven't sent me an email yet."

Julie was startled and said with a smile: "It's done, I'll send it to your email now."

"Okay." Qin Zhaozhao turned and took a step and then turned to look at Zhu Li, "By the way, when I was eating in the cafeteria, I heard someone saying that your husband's birthday was yesterday, but I asked you to work overtime for an extra hour yesterday and you couldn't be with him in time. Your husband, don’t be angry with me.”

Zhu Li was stunned and then said quickly: "I won't be angry. You are my boss. As a subordinate, you must give priority to the matters you tell me."

Qin Zhaozhao glanced at Zhu Li, then glanced at Zhu Li's clenched hands with his peripheral vision before leaving.

In the office, she opened the computer webpage and looked at the hot searches, and was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, she rubbed her eyes, swiped her mouse to read the hot searches carefully, and found that all the hot searches for her scandal had disappeared.

“Who removed my hot search?”

The faces of Jiang Hao and Le Yu appeared in her mind at the same time, making her eyes look complicated.

Jiang Hao confessed to her yesterday but was rejected by her. Today he still fulfilled his promise to her. He used the official Chinese Weibo account to announce that he deliberately fired her because of his narrow-mindedness to clarify.

The Weibo post he posted was supposed to have a lot of traffic, but as soon as the scandal about her and Editor Li colliding with the manuscript came out, the clarification message Jiang Hao posted fell into disrepair.

Jiang Hao knew her well and knew that she was dedicated to her career and valued her reputation. Besides, he and her had not broken up and were still friends.

It is entirely possible that he has money and power to spend money to remove her from the trending search.

As for Le Yu, there was a scandal between her and Le Yu on the hot search, and he also had the motive to remove the hot search.

She thought for a while and took out her mobile phone and dialed Jiang Hao's number.

The call was answered instantly, and Jiang Hao happily spoke first: "Zhaozhao..."

Qin Zhaozhao asked directly: "Senior, was it you who removed my hot search?"

Jiang Hao on the other end of the phone was quiet for a while, and then he said, "Well... uh... I removed it."

Qin Zhaozhao understood and thanked: "Thank you, senior. How much will it cost, I will transfer it to you."

"Zhaozhao..." Jiang Hao's tone was full of bitterness, "Don't be so alienated from me."

"I'm not divorced from you, we're still good friends." Qin Zhaozhao told Jiang Hao warmly, and added: "You know I like to keep everything clear, so since it's you who spends the money to remove the trending search, I will definitely pay him money."

"I don't want it." Jiang Hao said decisively, and asked softly: "Are you free tonight? Can you have dinner with me as a favor?"

"I don't have time tonight, let's have dinner together some other time." Qin Zhaozhao rejected Jiang Hao and said, "Senior, please send me your card number."

"I don't want your money." Jiang Hao said in a somewhat anxious tone, "If you don't have time, let's make an appointment another day. I have some work to do first, so I'll hang up first."

Qin Zhaozhao did not contact Jiang Hao again. After all, they would meet sooner or later, and she would definitely be able to pay him back the money spent on withdrawing the hot search.

But...    Through the window, she saw Zhu Li giving Zhang Shi a look, and the two of them left in a hurry.

In the safe passage, Qin Zhaozhao took the elevator upstairs, then took the unused stairs, and finally stood downstairs in Shang Ying's department and looked at Zhu Li and Zhang Shi facing each other upstairs.

Zhu Li looked at Zhang Shi with a gloomy face: "Zhang Shi, I suspect that this matter has been exposed."

Zhang Shi's bald head seemed to be covered with a layer of green light under the dim green light of the tunnel, which was particularly strange.

He stretched out his arms around Julie's waist and kissed her on the mouth, with a greasy tenderness on his face.

"Julie, we won't reveal the truth. Everything is planned. Don't be too nervous. Don't forget that we have someone who knows everything."

Zhu Li, who usually looked dignified and shrewd, was held in Zhang Shi's arms, showing a hint of shyness.

"Say what you say, no one is serious." She glared at Zhang Shi but did not push him away, and said unhappily: "When will you divorce your wife? You promised me that you would divorce as soon as possible, and I still I will file for divorce from my husband after I wait for your divorce. When the time comes, the child will belong to him and I will marry you."

When Qin Zhaozhao heard Zhu Li's words, the corners of her mouth twitched. She didn't expect that she would hear such a big thing.

She didn't understand that Zhang Shi was ugly and hypocritical, but Zhu Li was still charming and capable in middle age. How did Zhu Li blindly fall in love with Zhang Shi?
  At this time, Zhang Shi was busy coaxing after hearing Zhu Li's words: "My son has been sick during this period, and she has worked hard to take care of my son. I am really embarrassed to mention divorce. Just wait."

"I've been waiting for two years." Zhu Li snorted and pushed Zhang Shi away. "I think you are deliberately not getting divorced. Don't think I don't know. I saw you sending Xiaoli home the night before yesterday."

"Xiao Li's mother is sick and she is in a hurry to go home. I happened to be on her way to send her back." Zhang Shi explained, and then said: "Zhu Li, let's not mention our matters now. The important thing is that you have a stable mentality. Don’t give any clues.”

Zhu Li crossed her arms and glared at Zhang Shi, with a fierce and threatening tone: "I remind you, it was you who asked me to sneak into the office and steal manuscripts. We are now a grasshopper on a rope. You can't lie to me, otherwise I will publicize this matter. If you go out, you won’t get any good fruit.”

They left after Zhang Shi's sweet words made Zhu Li smile.

Qin Zhaozhao looked at Zhang Shi and Zhu Li's leaving figures. Her eyes were quenched and her teeth were gritting.

"If you dare to harm me, you should pay a heavy price!" She glanced at the video on her phone and turned to leave.

As soon as she returned to the office, her phone rang and she saw it was Ji Ping, so she hung up without hesitation.

When she saw the call from her brother Qin Si, she hesitated and pressed the answer button.

"Qin Zhaozhao, get back home immediately." Ji Ping's commanding tone sounded.

"Mom, give me your phone back." Qin Si's anxious voice came, "Don't embarrass Zhaozhao. She can do whatever she wants. I beg you."

"Qin Zhaozhao, if I don't see you at home at seven o'clock tonight, I will go to your Ningshe community to pull up banners." Ji Ping threatened Qin Zhaozhao, "If you don't want to be embarrassed and don't want things to get worse, get back here!"

Qin Zhaozhao had been suppressing his inner emotions when he encountered so many things. Now that he received a call from Ji Ping, he couldn't control his emotions and became angry and irritable.

She knew that Ji Ping was so shameless that she could do it if she could tell him to pull up the banner.

Now that she is surrounded by scandals and is in the process of clearing her name, she must not have any other accidents due to Ji Ping's troubles.

With no other choice, she returned home.

Under the dim streetlight, the dilapidated and rusty door looked like an evil ghost with a big bloody mouth, ready to devour her as she was about to enter.

When Qin Si saw his sister appear, he said hurriedly and cautiously: "Zhaozhao, you...you are back."

Ji Ping walked into the courtyard, glared at Qin Zhaozhao with her almond-shaped eyes and ordered: "Qin Zhaozhao, kneel down!"

When Qin Zhaozhao saw the person behind Ji Ping, his body immediately tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

She asked defensively: "Why are you here?"
