The butler responded again, and when he turned to leave, he raised his eyelids and glanced towards Poppy.
Poppy has been standing quietly with her hands down, her face expressionless, seeming to listen instead of listening.Most of the Tibetan incense in the censer on the side had been burned. The moment the butler closed the door gently, he saw Poppy walking over and twirled another one to replace it.
During these days when Poppy stayed in the study, she was secretly ridiculed by Li Zhi.
Since half a year ago, the internal and external affairs of the Chu family were handed over to Li Zhi, Li Zhi seemed to be very busy every day.However, no matter how busy you are, as long as you don't go out of town, it is indispensable to report to Chu Xing's study every day.And the time for each report is not too short. Sometimes when Chu Xing is thirsty and Li Zhi is there again, Poppy will inevitably pour two cups of coffee together.When holding the coffee in front of Li Zhi with both hands, you can always see her superior relieved eyes.
Some Li Zhi’s condescension did not achieve the expected effect, and when Poppy’s expression was too flat, even in front of Chu Xing, Li Zhi couldn’t help deliberately picking pricks, saying that he had a stomachache recently and was not suitable for drinking coffee, so Poppy had no choice but to drink coffee again. Take the coffee away and replace it with a cup of white water at a suitable temperature.
Chu Xing just ignored these little actions of the two of them.In the past ten years, as long as Poppy and Lizhi didn't make too much noise, Chu Xing would always turn a blind eye to the open and secret struggle between the two of them, and only occasionally would he be interested Hit it.
Before Poppy came to the Chu family, the person Chu Xing favored the most was Li Zhi.Even if the treatment at that time was not as good as that of Poppy later, the cost of food and clothing was considered the most superior of all.Later, Poppy came to Chu's house, and within a month, Li Zhi's limelight was overwhelmed.Li Zhi was naturally unbalanced, but except for a few sarcastic remarks behind his back, he didn't really do anything.
Poppy, on the other hand, was wary of Li Zhi, and started talking a few words in front of Chu Xing from time to time very early on.Chu Xing ignored her obvious little trick, and later Poppy talked a lot, but was criticized by Chu Xing, saying that her character was too fussy, and she was not as good as Li Zhi for her general understanding.
At that time, Poppy felt unhappy after hearing this, but she couldn't say anything more.Later, the two separated powers and opposed each other, and the contradictions began to gradually escalate.Until one time when the poppy was pushed into the lake by a branch and developed a fever the next day, the two of them had formally tied the knot.
Later, Poppy failed three times in a row against Li Zhi.One afternoon not long after, Chu Xing called Poppy over to sit and chat. When Poppy was boiling water to make tea, Chu Xing warned and reprimanded Poppy in a slightly joking tone: "No matter how far off the branch is, it's just lip service anyway. I didn't do anything other than say that you made a little trouble with your two sentences. You are quite powerful, you first seek life and then seize power, and Li Zhi is not a bun to be slaughtered. How do you think she can treat you? With a villainous character like you who always pays every penny and every penny, besides staying by my side, what great things can you do in the future? Huh?"
At that time, Poppy had just been deprived of power, and was told this again, and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red.After blinking twice, a drop of tears fell into the tea with a "ding dong".Chu Xing saw it, but pretended not to see her. He took the documents and read them and left her to dry for a while. He thought that Poppy would recover by himself, but she cried even harder. He sat there and threw the teacup on the table without caring. The tea was spilled all over the small table, and he started to choke with his neck stuck.
Chu Xing looked at her with a sullen face for a while, then closed his eyes, put down the document, and hugged her to coax her.However, even though Poppy cried for half an hour that day, Chu Xing's decision did not change.In the eyes of outsiders, Poppy, who has been doing nothing for the past six months, is far less happy than Lizhi, who has both ways.
One afternoon when Li Zhi came over, it happened that Chu Xing was not in the study.She was holding a folder in her hand, and her eyes fell on Poppy who had just put her phone in her pocket.Li Zhi stared at her for a while, until Poppy came over and said "Sister Li Zhi" to her respectfully.
Li Zhi glanced at her and asked, "Where did the young master go?"
Poppy said softly: "Sir, I just went to the living room to catch up with Young Master Shang in City A. It will take about a while before I come back."
Li Zhi squeezed the things in his hand, Poppy said again: "Miss Li Zhi, is there something urgent to see Mr.? Please sit here and wait for a while, I will pour you a glass of warm water."
Li Zhi frowned and thought for a while, and when Poppy really poured warm water over, she put the document in her hand on the top of the pile of documents on the desk, and said coldly: "I have something urgent to wait here. This document Put it here, the young master ordered me to hand it in today. Don't play tricks on me. "
Poppy responded, and Li Zhi looked at her again, looking worried.Poppy lowered her head and said softly, "What is Sister Li Zhi worried about?"
Li Zhi snorted and said, "Forget it, I forgive you for not daring."
After watching Li Zhi go away, Poppy casually took Li Zhi's document, flipped through a few pages, sat down in Chu Xing's chair, and then drew a pen on one side, imitating Chu Xing almost exactly. With his handwriting and tone, he rejected Li Zhi's document.
She returned the pen to its original position and inserted the document into the middle of the pile of approved documents.After thinking about it, he went on to browse through several seemingly extremely important confidential documents in the file pile.
These days, when Chu Xing was away, she had done this more than once.Now again, the technique is fast and skilled.Poppy roughly browsed through all the documents she was interested in, and put all the documents back intact. When she looked up, she found the butler standing at the door, raising her eyelids slightly, looking at her silently.
Poppy stood up from Chu Xing's seat calmly, and said softly, "Butler Zhou, what are you doing?"
The butler walked over slowly, holding a cup of bird's nest and a small piece of pastry in his hand, and said, "Young master said Miss Poppy didn't eat much at noon, she might be hungry, let me bring you something."
Poppy took it over and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble."
"Don't dare."
After the butler finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Poppy stopped him and said with a smile, "Butler Zhou, what did you see just now?"
Steward Zhou answered with a pleasing eyebrow, "It's just that Miss Poppy is overstepping her role."
Poppy's face changed rapidly, and she asked with a smile, "Will Steward Zhou sue Mr.?"
"Even if you say it, it's just a truthful report, not a complaint." Steward Zhou said slowly, "Is there anything Miss Poppy can't say to the young master, instead of doing this?"
Poppy sneered slightly, but did not answer.Steward Zhou looked at her, sighed, and backed out in silence.
For the next few days, whenever Poppy could get the Lizhi documents, none of the things reported by Lizhi would pass.It's been a long time, and finally one day, Li Zhi came to the study room while Chu Xing was around, and asked patiently: "It's fine if you don't approve the cooperation plan with the Xue family, cut the number of new recruits of the Chu family in half this year." That's all for the above, but why do you want to reduce my budget for the second half of the year to a quarter? Are you planning to let me get millions of sponsors by myself in the second half of the year?"
Chu Xing stopped sipping tea slightly.After shaking the tea slowly in his hand, Chu Xing glanced at Poppy when he raised his head again.
Poppy stood quietly not far away, with her hands in her pockets, her head slightly lowered, and she still had that meek and humble appearance that had nothing to do with her.
There was silence in the study before Chu Xing murmured and said, "You spent more than double your budget in the first half of the year, so what do you have to say?"
Li Zhi argues: "That's because we have recruited a group of snipers, especially 'Light and Shadow' and 'Qiu Ying', you know how difficult it is to deal with these two..."
Chu Xing interrupted her: "Then what's the result? You got both 'Light and Shadow' and 'Qiu Ying'?"
Li Zhi lost his voice, and said after a while: "There is no news about 'Qiu Ying', and the 'Light and Shadow' side is about to close..."
Under Chu Xing's gaze, the following words were all buried in his throat.Li Zhi opened his mouth soundlessly, and after a while, said in a low voice, "Understood. I will arrange people to solve it by myself."
As soon as Li Zhi left, Chu Xing asked lightly: "Say, did you make trouble in private?"
"Poppy doesn't understand what you're talking about."
Chu Xing threw away the pen in his hand, and turned his head: "Still pretending? I don't even know the number of newcomers in the budget cooperation that Li Zhi said. Who else could it be if you lost the documents? You can give me another example." Individuals to try?"
Poppy said seriously: "I can't mention others, and I can't admit it. Unless you have evidence. Do you have evidence?"
Chu Xingding stared at her for a long while, then suddenly smiled angrily, then stretched out his hand, and dragged her directly to his lap from the side.
He turned her over and lifted her skirt up. Poppy's face finally turned pale, and she struggled hard: "Don't be here!"
The door of the study was always wide open, and someone could come in at any time.Poppy was pressed on her leg by him and couldn't move, and when her hands were dancing wildly, he tied her back with a towel beside her. Chu Xing's fingers reached her chest, where she teased maliciously and cunningly, while saying in a deep voice: "Say it or not?"
Poppy refused to speak at first, until she was pressed on the desk by Chu Xing, gesturing to strip off her clothes, gritted her teeth, but couldn't help it, and finally cried out in a low voice with a slightly crying voice: "So what? Anyway, as long as you trap me in the study for a day, I won't let Li Zhi live a better life! If you don't believe me, try it!"
"Every day I think about how to play tricks on people," Chu Xing pinched her hard behind him, Poppy shivered sensitively, and heard him say in a cold voice, "I think even if I put you in a golden cage, you will still be in danger." Wouldn't it be a master who can calm down, plotting and plotting with Li Zhi, do you really want to plot her until death before you are reconciled?"
"Yes, I'm going to plot Lizhi until I die before I'm reconciled!"
Chu Xing slapped her buttocks and warned: "Be obedient and honest!"
Poppy was about to confront her again, when suddenly someone outside coughed lightly.Poppy immediately stiffened all over, and turned her head to look at Chu Xing pleadingly.Chu Xing didn't move his eyebrows and eyes, and slowly let go of Poppy's hand. After finishing her clothes, he asked aloud: "What's the matter?"
Steward Zhou's slightly hoarse voice sounded, respectfully and slowly: "Miss Jiang Mian has arrived and said that she wants to see you immediately."
"not see."
Steward Zhou hesitated for a moment, then continued: "But Ms. Jiang said that she would discuss with you the specific issue of Miss Poppy's future stay. She also said that Miss Poppy had already called her, claiming that she had considered it carefully under your report, and agreed to return. The Jiang family recognizes their ancestors and returned to their ancestors."
