Chapter 915 An Employee Who Doesn't Want a Secret Relationship (10)
"What do you mean?"
Qin Zhi immediately sensed something was wrong and stopped Mu Zhou from leaving.
Mu Zhou didn't waste any words and showed him the call log.
"I called you back when I saw the message, and Jiang Qian answered the phone, so of course I had to be sensible and not bother you."
A moment of confusion flashed across Qin Zhi's shrewd eyes, and he quickly frowned.
He had absolutely no recollection of this incident.
Mu Zhou tried to break free, but Qin Zhi wouldn't let her go.
“I was drunk, and she took me to a hotel, that’s all.”
"I have absolutely no relationship with her. Is it because of this phone call that you're so against her joining your group?"
"Could it be that she said something on purpose during the call?"
"Don't you believe me?"
Qin Zhi didn't believe Jiang Qian could say such ambiguous things that only happen in melodramatic misunderstandings.
She doesn't have that kind of cunning.
Therefore, he looked at Mu Zhou with a newfound scrutiny.
Mu Zhou almost laughed out of anger.
Qin Zhi didn't even need to say a word; she already knew what he was thinking.
He felt that she was making a fuss over nothing, had a bad temper, was intolerant, and nitpicked over the smallest things.
He trusted Jiang Qian more than her.
So she didn't bother to explain further.
"As I've said before, all my demands are based on the interests of myself and my team members, and also..."
Mu Zhou took out his phone.
"To prevent you from thinking I wronged your new lover and choosing to retaliate against me, I recorded last night's call and have already sent it to you."
"President Qin, I hope you can 'see the finest details'."
To leave a record of his work, Mu Zhou's calls were all automatically recorded.
Just as Qin Zhi was about to open the door to listen with some skepticism, Mu Zhou took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and leave the conference room.
The Qin Group is a well-known conglomerate in Beijing, and Qin Zhi is the kind of person who is meticulous and vengeful.
Therefore, if possible, Mu Zhou did not want to become his enemy completely.
This is a great opportunity.
As long as he feels guilty towards himself, it will be a great boost to her future work.
Mu Zhou has already planned to leave his job and start his own business after the project with Chongzheng Games ends.
Having this resume will be a plus for her when she gets projects in the future.
She had just returned to her seat when Qin Zhi suddenly strode up to her.
He walked hurriedly, his expression unusually flustered.
Everyone in the office looked over, their expressions a mixture of surprise and tension.
He stood before Mu Zhou's desk, his chest heaving for a moment before he spoke:
"I have something to tell you."
Luo Qing's ear perked up instantly.
Not right.
Something about this statement just doesn't sound right.
This doesn't sound like a boss talking to his subordinates at all.
It's more like...
My boyfriend was in a hurry to explain.
In particular, Mu Zhou's reaction showed no sign of fear.
Luo Qing's radar kept going off.
Her eyes darted around, but she kept her eyes glued to the screen, not daring to look anywhere else; she could only strain to stick her ears out a meter away.
Seeing Qin Zhi suddenly run over in a frenzy, Mu Zhou reluctantly put down the documents in his hand.
She exhaled a deep breath, looking extremely exhausted.
"President Qin, I've said everything I needed to say."
She met his gaze, signaling to him that the employees around him had begun to whisper among themselves.
Isn't he most afraid of his relationship being discovered? To avoid unnecessary gossip, he should leave quickly.
But Qin Zhi stubbornly stood there and refused to leave.
The big boss stood in his department office, not saying a word, just staring at Mu Zhou. Anyone could tell something was wrong.
Jiang Qian, who was sitting on the innermost side, was already stiff all over.
She stared blankly at Qin Zhi.
His gaze remained fixed on Mu Zhou, not shifting even for a moment.
A terrible thought began to sprout in my heart.
She even wanted to stop the current atmosphere from being ruined.
Because she was almost suffocating from the pressure.
Just as she was about to get up, her employee suddenly stopped her, gesturing for her to be quiet.
Before she could react, the two who had been at an impasse had made new progress.
Mu Zhou stood up expressionlessly and walked outside, with Qin Zhi following closely behind.
As soon as the two left, the remaining people in the office instantly became abuzz with gossip.
However, since the manager's office was the closest point to the room, everyone could only suppress their screams and keep spamming the group chat.
【Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!】
[Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!]
【Aa ...
The screen was filled with screams, so loud it hurt my eyes.
Meanwhile, at this time, the rooftop outdoor rest area...
Mu Zhou sat by the flower bed, his tone no longer sharp and confrontational:
"What exactly do you want? Aren't you afraid someone will notice something was off about your demeanor just now?"
Her tone was worried, as if she were the one afraid that their off-duty relationship would be exposed.
But Qin Zhi couldn't care less about that anymore.
At that moment, he didn't care at all whether his secret relationship would be exposed.
He even hoped to expose it.
Hasn't Mu Zhou always felt insecure because of this? Doesn't she really want to have a relationship openly and honestly?
Then let's make it public.
Would she forgive him a little in this way?
He has already listened to the recording.
He never expected Jiang Qian to say that.
He wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was incredibly shrewd, with a hundred tricks up his sleeve. Naturally, he could discern the underlying attitude in those words.
No wonder Mu Zhou was angry.
He couldn't let Mu Zhou misunderstand him like this.
"I don't know, Mu Zhou, I really don't know anything. I didn't know she answered your call, and I don't even know how she took me to the hotel."
He half-squatted down, took Mu Zhou's hand, and asked her to look at him.
"But I'm sure nothing happened between us."
He woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar hotel, and was equally confused when he saw Jiang Qian there as well.
Jiang Qian said that she saw him drunk and unconscious at the bar, so she and the bartender helped him to the hotel.
Fearing he might suffocate in the middle of the night while drunk, I stayed by his side all night.
He felt a little guilty, which is why he agreed to add her to the group for Mu Zhou's game collaboration, as compensation to Jiang Qian.
At the same time, he also took the opportunity to provoke Mu Zhou.
After a night of calm, he was no longer so angry at the man's voice.
He knew Mu Zhou; Mu Zhou wasn't that kind of person.
She appears cheerful and bright, but she is actually slow to warm up and doesn't easily accept men getting close to her life.
Even back then, it took him a long time to confirm the relationship.
There must be some hidden story behind what happened yesterday.
Perhaps, Mu Zhou was deliberately trying to provoke him.
Only then did he force Mu Zhou to take the initiative to make peace and let her explain what happened last night.
But to his surprise, things took a turn in a direction he had never anticipated.
He subconsciously believed Jiang Qian's character, but not her.
She must be very disappointed in him now.
So he wanted to make amends.
His solution was to make amends by publicly acknowledging their secret relationship.
After listening to his explanation, Mu Zhou's tone was somewhat indifferent:
"You can offer me compensation, I don't care if you give me money or even your body, but it's not acceptable if it involves my business."
She paused, her tone becoming inexplicably complex.
"Qin Zhi, you really underestimate me."
