Chapter 918 An Employee Who Doesn't Want a Secret Relationship (13)
Mu Zhou doesn't know how to cook.
Her specialty is putting various ready-made concentrated soup cubes directly into the pot and boiling them.
The taste was incredibly fresh and delicious, comparable to that of a five-star chef.
Or you can buy various pre-made meals, tear open the packaging, and heat them directly.
Even if you want a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, it's not a problem.
After all, these days, even Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and shredded potatoes can be prepared in advance.
If you can be lazy, why bother doing it yourself?
Mu Zhou secretly looked up and gave Shen Congjing a guilty smile, forcing himself to save face:
"Although they are prefabricated, I bought all big brands, so the quality is guaranteed, and they are very expensive."
Under Shen Congjing's gaze, her smile grew increasingly guilty, and she finally gave his arm a light push:
"Oh, these are all small things; the thought is what matters most."
She held his arm, tilted her head slightly to look at him, and spoke with a hint of reproach.
Like acting like a spoiled child.
Shen Congjing lowered his eyes and glanced at her smiling face before his gaze settled on her hand.
Her slender, fair fingers rested lightly on his black shirt, his arm slightly tense beneath the fabric.
The stark contrast between the intense black and the extreme white is quite striking.
Shen Congjing swallowed hard, suppressing his racing heartbeat.
"You should eat less pre-cooked food in the future."
Once he opened his mouth, he forgot to ask her about how she had tricked him with pre-made food.
My heart is filled with thoughts of her nutrition and health.
How can we eat pre-cooked meals long-term?
Mu Zhou smiled slightly, pursing his lips.
"Know it."

As soon as Mu Zhou arrived at the company, he sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
She soon learned the whole story.
After leaving the manager's office, she looked towards the innermost area.
Jiang Qian was silently packing her things, her face expressionless and her movements stiff.
Mu Zhou learned from the manager that their department was going to send people to support the new project in City C.
Jiang Qian was designated above.
City C is located in a remote and economically underdeveloped area. Most of the people living there are locals who are retired. Sending them there is basically forcing them to resign.
Therefore, Jiang Qian chose to resign.
Everyone was somewhat bewildered and nervous about the sudden transfer order, so the atmosphere was rather somber for a while.
Noticing Mu Zhou's gaze, Jiang Qian's face turned pale, and she gripped the water glass in her hand tightly.
She regrets it terribly now.
She went to see Qin Zhi before leaving get off work yesterday.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I didn't know you and Manager Mu were a couple. The day you were drunk, I accidentally answered her call. Did she misunderstand? Should I talk to Manager Mu and explain?"
She apologized cautiously, her face filled with remorse.
Qin Zhi leaned back in his chair, slightly raising his chin, and gazed at her quietly.
A moment later, he chuckled and pushed up his glasses.
"careless?"
"I originally wanted to mute the call, but I got nervous and answered it. I explained the situation, but Manager Mu sounded very unhappy and hung up immediately. I didn't know about your relationship at the time, otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have..."
Under Qin Zhisen's icy gaze, her voice grew softer and softer.
For the first time, Qin Zhi looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
His youthful face was etched with blatant calculation.
How did he come to think she resembled Mu Zhou back then?
Qin Zhi gave a self-deprecating laugh, and when he looked up again, his eyes were now filled with a cold sternness.
Without saying another word, he played the recording of the call.
Jiang Qian's face gradually lost its color.
Her chest heaved:
"President Qin, I, I..."
Qin Zhi casually tossed his phone back onto the table, staring at her with an oppressive gaze:
"Get out of the Qin family."
Jiang Qian suddenly looked up:
"No, no, Mr. Qin, I can't leave Qin's Group. I need this job."
Tears streamed down her face; she looked pitiful and helpless, hoping that Qin Zhi would soften his heart towards her.
But Qin Zhi has always been cold and rational.
He has a bad temper, holds grudges, and can turn on you in an instant.
Jiang Qian schemed against him like this, how could he possibly have any mercy for her?
His chilling voice was full of warning:
"Get out of my sight before I get really angry, or you'll regret it."
Jiang Qian's eyes reddened again as she thought of this.
As soon as she arrived today, the company immediately issued an order, forcing her to resign.
Qin Zhi is so cruel.
Jiang Qian lowered her head, feeling unwilling.
Why.
Qin Zhi clearly had feelings for her a while ago, but now he's so cold towards her.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to show her kindness, how could a lowly employee like her have dared to get entangled with the CEO?
But now, she has to bear the consequences alone.
She quietly wiped away her tears.
After seeing Mu Zhou leave, she clenched her fists and followed him.
"Manager Mu."
Mu Zhou turned around and saw Jiang Qian following behind, raising an eyebrow.
Jiang Qian pursed her lips and mustered her courage:
"Did you force President Qin to make this decision? Are you afraid my presence will affect your relationship? Have you also realized that President Qin has fallen for me, and that's why you're afraid?!"
After thinking it over, this was the only possibility she could come up with.
Qin Zhi's sudden change in attitude must be because Mu Zhou was angry about that phone call, and also about joining the group.
Mu Zhou whispered in his ear, and Qin Zhi, in order to appease her, decided to abandon this innocent little employee.
Her forceful questioning made Mu Zhou stare at her for several seconds.
Then, she suddenly laughed.
"Jiang Qian, I thought you were quite shrewd, how come you say such naive things?"
Her dismissive and casual tone made Jiang Qian's face turn red and white in turns.
Mu Zhou took a step toward her, getting closer to her.
She was tall, and wearing high heels, she was much taller than Jiang Qian.
She lowered her eyes, leaned slightly closer to Jiang Qian, and spoke in a low, seductive voice:
“We’ve already broken up. His decision was purely for his own sake, understand? You’re thinking too highly of Qin Zhi.”
"Don't hate the wrong person."
The sound of high heels gradually faded into the distance.
Jiang Qian was still standing there.
She seemed to understand.
The reason Qin Zhi forced her to resign was not only because he felt she was scheming and using him, but also because he didn't want to get involved in a sex scandal.
Now that his relationship with Mu Zhou is public, everyone knows that they were together for four years and were about to get married, but they broke up.
There are many different opinions about the reasons for their breakup, but what is clear is that it was Mu Zhou who initiated the breakup.
If her ambiguous relationship with Qin Zhi were to be exposed at this time, Qin Zhi would be unable to clear himself of the scandal.
Everyone knows they broke up because of his infidelity.
At that time, both the company's public image and his own personal image will be tarnished.
She finally figured it out.
It turned out to be the case.
Jiang Qian gave a cold laugh and made her decision.
Anyway, she's definitely going to resign. Given Qin Zhi's personality, she probably won't be able to stay in this industry in the future.
Then... let's go all in.

Before lunch break, the various employee WeChat groups of the Qin Group became lively again.
"Quick, check the group chat! They have some juicy gossip, it's super explosive!"
"Don't connect to the company network, or you might get caught by surveillance."
Everyone maintained a calm expression, but their hearts were filled with the excitement of watching the drama unfold, and they exchanged information with each other.
Who doesn't love gossip about their boss?
Just half an hour ago, Jiang Qian, who had already resigned, suddenly went to Qin Zhi's office and caused a scene.
