The smell of rice and vegetables lingered in the elevator.
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head. She could see the dark and gloomy expression on Si Zhengting’s face through the glass.
But she was too exhausted, powerless, and also a little nauseated. Thus, she did not utter a single word.
As she did not speak, the air in the elevator was overflowing with a stifling pressure.
It was fortunate that the elevator reached the 18th floor very quickly. The moment that the elevator’s door opened, Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief.


She turned sideways and looked at Si Zhengting, but he did not move an inch.
Zhuang Nainai gritted her teeth and walked forward.
Everyone in the design department was busy working; hence, they did not notice the couple walking along the walkways.
Si Zhengting slowed his footsteps when he saw that they were about to reach the office, allowing Zhuang Nainai to enter the office first. He wanted to observe what it was like for her in an ordinary day in the design department!
Just as Zhuang Nainai hobbled before the entrance to the office, Su Mei grabbed her arm and pointed to Zhang Chaowen. Although he had already finished all his outstanding work and was merely waiting in the office, he refused to let everyone get off work. Su Mei lowered her voice and whispered,
What were you doing? He has already flared up a couple of times! It’s like he swallowed some explosives.

Zhuang Nainai smiled guiltily and lifelessly.
She was really feeling terrible, so much so that she lacked the energy to speak.
Then, Zhang Chaowen walked out of the office and saw Zhuang Nainai. His eyes were about to spew fire.
Zhuang Nainai, where are the takeaways? I asked you to get some takeaways and you chose not to return to the office instead? Were you thinking of skipping work or something? Don’t forget your lowly position just because you have someone powerful backing you!

His voice pierced into Zhuang Nainai’s eardrums, making her feel as though her ears were ringing.
She had double vision, and her ears were ringing.


Zhuang Nainai tried hard to focus, but it felt as though her head was full of glue. She stood before Zhang Chaowen in a daze and did not respond to his outburst.
Zhang Chaowen had been scolded by Zuo Yiyi the day before, and the anger from that scolding still lingered. Now that he was being ignored by Zhuang Nainai, he could not hold back his anger any longer. He roared,
Zhuang Nainai, what kind of attitude is this?! You’re being recalcitrant? Let me tell you, I’m your superior, and you’re to do whatever I tell you to! Go and get more takeaways right now! If you’re not going to buy them, then scram!

Zhuang Nainai lifted her head, her face pale. Su Mei was unable to hold back and just observe the situation any longer. She said,
Leader Zhang, Zhuang Nainai really does not look well. She’s really sick. I could go and buy food for everyone else instead, if you’re alright with that.

Zhang Chaowen snorted.
You’re done with all your venue designs? Are you too free? The branch office is about to organize an event, and since you’re so free, I’ll leave this task to you! You are to send me the report tomorrow!

Su Mei was immediately agitated.
How am I supposed to settle that within a night!


Weren’t you very free?

Su Mei was furious with him.
You’re obviously bullying the newcomer!


That’s exactly what I’m doing! Are you unhappy with that? You can leave feedback with my superiors in that case! Anyway, isn’t asking the newcomer to buy everyone dinner something to be expected?
Zhang Chaowen said righteously, a foul and foreboding look in his eyes.
Zhuang Nainai felt even more unwell after listening to their argument. Su Mei looked as though she was about to retort, and Zhuang Nainai stopped her from doing so hurriedly. Zhuang Nainai said to Zhang Chaowen.
I’ve brought the takeaways back to the office.

Zhang Chaowen snorted.
Do you think I’m blind? Where are the takeaway boxes?!
