Chapter 368: Hit someone
Chapter 368: Hit someone
Zhou Ning was not surprised when she saw Bai Yu coming out of Wu Kang's office.
She originally wanted to just pass by, but she didn't expect Bai Yu to take the initiative to talk to her.
"You didn't say anything to Mr. Huo when you went back yesterday, right?"
It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned. As soon as this sentence was mentioned, Zhou Ning immediately thought of what happened yesterday. She knew that Bai Yu took the initiative to ask because he might be feeling guilty.
Looking around, no one was passing by, so Zhou Ning asked directly: "Why did you lie to Qingzhou?"
Bai Yu's expression suddenly changed and he looked around cautiously, surprised that Zhou Ning knew about this. He didn't expect Huo Qingzhou to report every detail to Zhou Ning.
"Zhou Ning, be careful with your wording. How can I be considered a liar? I just used some strategies. This is normal in the workplace. Besides, if I order you to complete it, you must complete it. I just don't want to put pressure on you."
"This is a good thing for our department. Besides, I let you participate. Our bonuses have increased, and you have also benefited from it, right?"
"In short, you need to have a broad perspective, think more about our department, and don't create unnecessary complications."
Zhou Ning just found it funny listening to what Bai Yu said.
"Even if I want to gain benefits, I don't want to do it by deceiving people."
Bai Yu: "You are still too young. It is not as easy as you think for people who can survive in the workplace. It takes a lot of thought."
As the conversation was fruitless due to different goals and ideas, Zhou Ning didn't want to listen any more and turned away.
She knew that work involved a lot of interests and many people would do anything for the sake of interests, but she really didn't want to go against her original intention for the sake of interests.
However, as time goes by, some people will forget where they came from and lose their original intentions.
Bai Yu returned to the office with an expressionless face. This time, she had tasted the sweetness of success.
Because she had just taken on the position of deputy editor-in-chief, she was questioned by many people, but this incident helped her gain a firm foothold and she also gained a lot of benefits from it.
No matter which angle you look at it from, it's a good thing.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang rapidly.
Bai Yu glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and saw that the call was from home, and his brows furrowed into a frown.
After waiting quietly for a few seconds, she impatiently picked up the phone.
Sure enough, the call from home was asking for money.
"I have no money."
"How can you be broke? Didn't you just get promoted to a senior manager a while ago? Your salary and bonus must have increased. Don't try to cheat us."
Bai Yu said angrily: "I still have to rely on my salary to make a living."
"How much money can a woman like you spend? You must have some extra money because the expenses at home are huge." The voices of my parents came from the other end again.
Bai Yu felt numb after listening to it. Even if she explained to her parents that living in a big city was very expensive, they simply wouldn't understand.
Every communication is a process of internal friction.
"We don't care. Your family needs money. Now is the time for you to repay your kindness. You must send money back!"
The other party's tone was aggressive.
In the end, Bai Yu hung up the phone with his lips turning pale.
money!
Asking for money again!
This thing that made her love and hate it since she was a child was like poison, paralyzing her heart.
Suddenly thinking of Wu Kang, Bai Yu's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
Apart from helping her get promoted, Wu Kang was not generous with money.
She became increasingly annoyed.
……
evening.
It rained heavily.
A black Maybach shuttled through the rain.
The man in the back seat of the car was wearing a black suit with his buttons unbuttoned, revealing a clean white shirt underneath. He had an outstanding temperament and was leaning against the back of the car with his eyes closed, resting.
The car windows were hit by the rain, and gradually rain curtains formed.
Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes and the car stopped abruptly.
The man raised his eyes and frowned slightly: "What's going on?"
The driver was so scared that his voice trembled: "Mr. Huo, I, I seem to have hit someone."
Huo Qingzhou frowned even more when he heard this: "Go down and take a look."
The driver nodded immediately, got out of the car quickly holding an umbrella and found out what was going on.
Huo Qingzhou rolled down the window and soon saw the driver walking up to him. He anxiously gave a rough idea of the situation. The person he hit was a woman, but fortunately it was not serious. She only injured her knee, and it seemed that she had not suffered any major bone damage.
"Arrange to send her to the hospital."
Huo Qingzhou followed every word, knowing that he would not shirk the responsibility he should bear.
The driver was embarrassed: "Mr. Huo, I see she didn't bring an umbrella, so she has difficulty moving. It's raining now, so it's not easy to get a taxi..."
Finally, the driver got his consent and prepared to help the woman into the car, first sending her to the hospital, and then sending Huo Qingzhou back to Jiangcheng Mansion.
This seems to be the best solution at the moment.
With the help of the driver, the woman gradually approached the Maybach.
Huo Qingzhou glanced casually through the car window, and when he saw the figure clearly, a look of surprise flashed across his face. The woman he bumped into turned out to be Zhou Ning's boss, Bai Yu.
At this time, Bai Yu was covered in rain, his hair was wet, and his face was pale.
She squinted her eyes and saw Huo Qingzhou's cold and handsome face through the rain, and her heart skipped a beat.
She wanted to sit in the back with Huo Qingzhou, but the driver had quickly opened the passenger seat and helped her up.
After Bai Yu sat down, he turned around to look at Huo Qingzhou and greeted him in surprise.
Huo Qingzhou was distant: "I'm sorry, it's our fault that we hit you. I'll take you to the hospital."
"It's okay." Surprised by Huo Qingzhou's proactive apology, Bai Yu shook his head, "Although my knee hurts now, it's just a superficial injury. I can endure this pain."
Although the words sounded strong, the tone was weak.
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he waited for the other party's response, perhaps even gaining sympathy.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qingzhou said coldly: "I can really endure this little bit of suffering."
Bai Yu: “…”
The driver hurriedly got in the car, turned around and drove towards the hospital.
The driver looked at Huo Qingzhou fearfully through the rearview mirror and whispered, "Mr. Huo, it's all my fault that I didn't see the road clearly, so this happened."
"It's understandable that I didn't check the road conditions in time when it was raining. I'll be more careful next time."
From beginning to end, Huo Qingzhou's emotions remained stable.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately no one was killed.
Bai Yu listened from the side and felt more deeply the respectful side of Huo Qingzhou. If he were an impatient boss, he might scold his subordinates indiscriminately.
"Boss Huo is right. Safety is the most important thing. Fortunately, I only suffered minor injuries. You don't have to worry too much."
The driver praised: "You are so understanding. There are not many people as considerate as you nowadays."
Bai Yu curled her lips, glanced back, then hugged her arms in coldness, looking pitiful.
The driver saw this and turned up the temperature of the car's air conditioner.
Bai Yu took the initiative to thank him and noticed that the person behind her was not moving. She looked through the rearview mirror and found that the man was just looking down at the tablet and didn't even look at her.
Bai Yu's shoulders drooped instantly, and he stopped those little movements. He struggled for a while, sniffed, and said weakly: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, I got rain on me and made your car dirty."
