The first floor without air conditioning was like a steamer, making it unbearable for anyone.
But Dong Ru zhu persisted for more than an hour without any intention of leaving.
From the monitor, Xingkong couldn't help but be moved by her great motherly love as she saw Dong Ru zhu sitting steadily on the sofa.
Indeed, all mothers in this world are the same, willing to do anything for their children.
Even someone as ruthless as Dong Ru zhu would endure the pain that ordinary people could not bear for Shen Xinai.
Since that's the case, let her have her wish.
"Sister~" Xingkong looked at the secretary and showed a sweet smile.
The secretary was stunned. She clearly didn't expect the woman beside the CEO to be so polite to her.
"Sister, can you do me another favor?"
"Y-yes." The secretary nodded in agreement, as if there was a magical power in the bright and clear eyes of the little girl that made her forget to ask for permission from Huo Siye.
It wasn't until later that she realized her mistake and looked at Huo Siye in a panic.
Normally calm and composed, she was flustered for the first time. "CEO..."
But Huo Siye just nodded faintly at her.
She immediately understood.
"Sister, can you ask the control center to turn on the air conditioning again? Turn on the heating, to the maximum, especially the one above her head, make sure it's turned up to the maximum."
"Heating?"
It was already torture not to have air conditioning on such a hot day, why turn on the heating?
Did she say it wrong?
"Yes, turn on the heater," the secretary confirmed before preparing to leave.
"Wait," Xingkong suddenly called out to her.
She turned around. "Is there anything else you need?"
"After an hour, switch the air conditioning to cold and turn it up to the maximum as well."
"Okay." The secretary didn't ask any more questions, but she secretly made a mental note and warned herself not to provoke this seemingly innocent girl in the future. The sudden change from hot to cold would make most people sick.
"Thank you, sister," the girl said in a sweet and obedient tone, which made the secretary wonder if she was being too suspicious of this cute and polite girl. Perhaps she was only doing this because someone was bullying her.
"It's no trouble at all," the secretary replied with a charming smile before leaving.
Qi Rongchen rubbed the back of his neck and clicked his tongue. "I've never seen Vivian smile like that before... so... so..."
"Not official," Bai Ning added.
"Right, not official. Although she used to smile before, it always felt like she was just going through the motions."
"Vivian's smile is really beautiful," Bai Ning squinted his eyes, his gaze distant and profound.
Huo Siye glanced at the two of them and spoke indifferently, "You're both hopeless."
Xingkong pursed her lips and smiled. "Her name is Vivian? That's a nice name."
"Nothing special."
"Humph!" Qi Rongchen sneered, "No ambition."
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Huo Siye kicked his leg and coldly drove him away.
"Just now you begged me to share half of my rice bowl with her, and now you're turning your back on me?"
"What rice bowl??" Xingkong perked up her ears curiously and looked at Qi Rongchen, "Why do you want to share your rice bowl with me?"
Qi Rongchen snorted, "Ask your man."
Your man...?
Xingkong glanced at Huo Siye and quickly looked away.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then began pounding heavily, uncontrollably heating up her ears and cheeks.
"Why are you blushing?" Qi Rongchen was really impressed by this couple, each one more pretentious than the other.
"You, you're the one blushing!" Xingkong glared at him, feeling embarrassed and trying to save face, "What are you trying to sell? If you don't want to say it, I don't care."
"If you don't care, then I'll say it." Qi Rongchen smiled carelessly, "I heard you're going to start a company? An economic media company?"
"How did you know?" Xingkong looked at him warily, "What do you want?"
Xingkong knew he was the young owner of Qi yang Entertainment, and although he didn't mix in the entertainment industry, there were many rumors about him in the industry.
If he caused trouble for her, she would be in trouble.
"What can I do? Your man begged me to help you out."
"Escort?" Xingkong thought for a moment, as if she understood something, her eyes lit up. "Brother, are you planning to affiliate my company with Qi yang Entertainment?"
"With Qi yang Entertainment as your capital backing, I guarantee you a smooth journey," Huo Siye sat down beside her, looked at her forehead, and saw that it wasn't as red as before, so he felt relieved.
"I think it's a good idea! Thank you, Qi Rongchen," Xingkong smiled at him.
"I haven't agreed yet, okay?"
"You will," Xingkong smiled at him.
"Why would I?"
"Because you're not a good person!" Xingkong said to him with a smile.
Qi Rongchen rolled his eyes. "Why wouldn't I?"
"Because you're not a good person!" Xingkong repeated.
Huo Siye frowned. When did these two become so familiar with each other?
"You're ruthless," Qi Rongchen held his breath, feeling like he wanted to hit someone!
"Qi Rongchen, I'm new here and there are still many things I don't understand. Please teach me more in the future," Xingkong said to him politely.
"Just don't harm me," Qi Rongchen replied.
That's what this girl was thinking. If she wanted to target someone, that person would definitely not have a good ending.
"How so?"
Of course not.
He was Huo Siye's best friend, and she would also treat him as her best friend.
...
The temperature was rising slowly, and Dong Ru zhu could hardly stand it. Not only was she sweating profusely, but her clothes were also sticking to her body, which was very uncomfortable.
After a while, she felt a tightness in her chest, and breathing became difficult.
Not only that, but she also felt nauseous.
Her head was pounding.
Even if she was stupid, she understood what was going on.
Huo Siye, he actually went to such lengths for Shen Xingkong.
Is he openly breaking ties with the Shen family? With Third Madam?
Truly foolish.
Just when she thought she couldn't hold on any longer, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew over her head.
At first, it was a faint breeze, gradually turning into a strong wind.
Whooshing, strong like the gusts of wind at the end of July.
Piercingly cold.
At first, she felt comfortable all over, but after a few minutes, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Alternating between hot and cold, although it suppressed the nausea, it drained all the strength from her body. Not only was she shivering all over, but she was also weak.
"..."
This is too much.
If they don't see her, why make it so difficult for her?
If she doesn't kneel, they torture her like this.
Huo Siye, is this all you can do?
Of course, she also held Shen Xingkong accountable for this.
She was itching with hatred.
"Shen Xingkong... Don't be too proud too soon. One day, I will make you..."
"What will you do to me?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from above her head. She paused, raising her head in anger, glaring at the person with bloodshot eyes.
"Are you planning to bury me in a sea of fire, or leave me with no corpse?"
"You... you..." Dong Ru zhu felt even colder, to the bone.
