C544 Pretentious

Before she knocked on the door, Jiajia was already mentally prepared. How could last night's events be so coincidental? But Jiajia still believed what happened last night in her heart. Director Zhou would not lie to her.

After tidying up her thoughts, the knock on the door startled the people inside.

"Come in!" A serious male voice came from inside.

When Jiajia came in, Director Zhou was still looking through the documents. He looked quite busy. Wasn't that right? He and the Ou Clan's Cooperation cases finally entered the finishing touches. The higher-ups very logically and rationally threw this mess to him. Furthermore, right now, he was the only one leading the department. However, he had heard that in a few days, there would be a person who would take over this vacant position. Now he could finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Director Zhou, you are looking for me?" Jiajia still had an old-fashioned and calm look, as if yesterday's incident did not cause her much trouble. That was right, when she was with Chu Yihan in the past. What had she not encountered? Kidnapping force. Betrayal was only the appetizer. When had Wang Qin ever wanted to burn her to death? Perhaps it was because of her past extraordinary experience that made her this indifferent character. After all, at this age, she was still as surprised as those young girls. Others would only say that you were being too pretentious, but Jiajia saw through all of these.

"Yes, please take a seat!" Director Zhou looked up from his busy schedule and secretly sized up Jiajia's expression. Her complexion seemed to be even redder than yesterday, but there was nothing unusual on the clear face of her black-rimmed glasses. Director Zhou could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw these discoveries. At the same time, he could not help but feel his heart ache. No matter which woman had encountered the situation yesterday... However, she did not show any emotions that she should have. She could even pretend that nothing had happened today and come to work like a normal person.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes last night, he would probably think the same as normal people. Zhou Hao could not help but wonder what had happened to Jiajia in the past. Talent! She was able to create today's calmness, maturity, and even made him admire her.

Zhou Hao's thoughts had been floating in his mind for a long time. In the end, he broke the silence that should not have appeared. "Jiajia, I'm sorry about yesterday. I met an old acquaintance on the way to get the car yesterday. He pulled me and chatted for a long time. When I came, you were already gone. You wouldn't blame me, would you?"

Zhou Hao looked at Jiajia's expression as he spoke. He thought that it was always easy for him to say this, but he couldn't save her. After all, as a man, it required courage to admit his incompetence.

Jiajia listened as she secretly thought that she could not blame him for what happened last night. After organizing her thoughts, the corner of Jiajia's mouth curled into a smile. " I saw that you didn't come last night, so I called someone to pick me up." In the end, there was still the friendship of the past. Jiajia didn't want others to worry about her anymore. Besides, wasn't she fine now?

Zhou Hao did not expect Jiajia to be so understanding. He felt very upset in his heart. Compared to Jiajia's magnanimity and magnanimity, he was also too weak. This was the first time he had examined him so seriously.

"Oh, oh, that's good. That's good." It was better for Jiajia to be safe than anything else. His thoughts sank into his memory. In the family, his relationship with his sister was undoubtedly the best. His parents had been busy with their business for a long time. He had no time to care about them. He still remembered when his younger sister had come looking for him while crying, 'Big Brother.' Why isn't Barbie and Mummy around? Don't tell me they don't love me anymore?'

At that moment, Zhou Hao only felt a sharp pain in his heart. This was the first time he had treated someone well since he had been indifferent to blood relations. That year, they were eight years old. After another two years, he had reached the rebellious stage of puberty. He remembered especially deeply that summer vacation, when his parents finally returned. Mummy tearfully told him that her father had a woman outside. Gradually, he understood these cruel reality. At that moment, his heart was filled with anger. For the first time, he had an argument with his father, whom he had not seen for a long time. For the first time, he hated the bond of blood.

That time, he escaped from the so-called home that suffocated him and booked a room in the hotel. He stayed inside for a whole week, and during this period of time, he learned to smoke. He learned how to fight and was no different from a gangster. He stayed in the internet cafe day and night all night.

Until one day, his so-called Mummy called. She begged him to go back and said that his most beloved sister had come to find him. The young and hot-tempered him hung up the phone with a bang. However, he still remembered his sister and took his jacket out.

There were many pedestrians on the road. Finally, he found his sister on the other side of the road. At that moment, he admitted that he was happy, and his sister clearly saw him. Just as she excitedly ran over, a car suddenly rushed out and crashed into her. It crushed her little sister's tiny body under the car.

He couldn't believe it. He was in despair. He held his head and cried. His sister died because of him. That year, she was only ten years old. At the age of smiling like a flower. He hugged her corpse and sat for a long time. For the first time, he felt a heartache. It turned out that his heart was still beating. However, ever since that time, his heart had become numb. It wouldn't beat again. In the end, he was brought home, and the funny thing was that his parents were unexpectedly staying at home. They were no longer on business trips.

When he returned home now, he would still be at odds with his father. He hated his family, and he hated himself. His sister had become a taboo word in the family, and every time she was mentioned, he would have a big fight with his father. Fortunately, after graduating from university, he moved away from that so-called family. Instead of going back to work at the family business, he chose this company. Step by step, he climbed up.

He had always had his own opinions, but he was very clear about his own opinions. If it wasn't for him, his sister should be about the same as Jiajia, right? Would she also have the same personality and understanding as Jiajia? No, he kept telling himself that Jiajia was not her. But he would still try to find the shadow of his sister, Xiao Rou, on Jiajia, especially those big bright eyes.

Jiajia looked strangely at Director Zhou, who suddenly became quiet. Why did she feel that there was sadness in the air just now? She also noticed that Zhou Hao only loved to look at her eyes, and she felt nostalgic. There were also some other feelings that were very complicated. It was more like she was reminiscing about someone through her.

"Director Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Jiajia softly called Zhou Hao, who seemed to be immersed in her memories. She kept feeling that there was some kind of unknown past on him. Jiajia had always believed in her sixth sense since she could not get out of this predicament.

"Ah, it's fine." She coughed a few times to hide her strange behavior, then paused for a moment and continued, "That Jiajia, the lobby manager of Ruchun just called. Go and get the car today.

"Okay, I'll go after work!" Jiajia replied.

"Yes, it's fine. You can go back to work." Zhou Hao waved at her and then went back to work.

After Jiajia left with the door open, Zhou Hao did not continue working but took out a stack of newspapers from the drawer. The big red headline was very eye-catching, The Divine Dragon Gang was annihilated overnight. All of them. In prison. The words were nothing special. He had heard of the Divine Dragon Gang before. It was a famous bully of this generation, who forced the women of the people to commit murder and arson. They had done a lot of illegal activities to rob and sell firearms and drugs. Such a huge organization had been robbed in one night. It made people sigh. Who on earth had such great ability?

Zhou Hao knocked on the table, and a scene flashed across his mind. That's right, it was the tall and mysterious man who saved Jiajia, and their relationship was very close.

What was the relationship between that man and Jiajia? Would Jiajia be in danger if she stayed with him?

Zhou Hao couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this. At least it was better than him. If it was him, he wouldn't be able to protect Jiajia.

When Jiajia walked out of the door, she happened to bump into Wang Lin who was walking towards her. Just as the two of them were about to brush past each other, Wang Lin's somewhat unwilling cold snort sounded in the air, making Jiajia unable to make heads or tails of it. Could it be that this woman had taken the wrong medicine early in the morning and recently she did not seem to have offended her? This was another unspoken rule in the workplace. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Especially Jiajia, this spearhead bird, who was popular, right and wrong. If one was not careful, he would become a thorn in someone else's side.

"Jiajia, ignore her. She is probably jealous of what you got yesterday. She did not." Jing who was by the side came over and comforted Jiajia.

Jiajia smiled indifferently. What was there to fuss about with a woman?

Wang Lin who was far away turned her head around and looked in the direction of Jiajia's office with resentment. She did not expect Si Jiajia, this old woman, to be so lucky. She had also seen the headlines of the Green Dragon Gang today. It must be that Mr Qiang, who had made a solemn vow, did not succeed last night and instead sent her to jail. However, she, Wang Lin, was not a person who was so easy to talk to. She would definitely not let her off! Counting the remaining half a month, her uncle was coming. She wanted to see whether it was her arm or her thigh that was stronger.
