The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 667: Not a Gentleman_1

Li Qing rolled out of bed, clutching his groggy head.

Zi Ling, that fierce lady, really went for the kill just now. Her grip was so tight that he nearly passed out.

By the bedside, Zi Ling, who had neatly rearranged her bathrobe, was grinding her teeth with hate, looking like she was ready to tear Li Qing to pieces.

"You really don’t make any sense," Li Qing complained with frustration. "I didn’t mean to look just now. It was entirely your lack of awareness."

"But you stood up to look, bastard!" Zi Ling shouted indignantly.

"How can that be my fault? When I caught a glimpse from my seat, of course I wanted to see more!" Li Qing argued righteously.

"You scoundrel, you shameless hooligan!" Zi Ling hissed through clenched teeth.

Li Qing nodded emphatically, "I can accept your insults, but I still have to defend myself. Although I certainly can’t be called a gentleman for my behavior, I didn’t take the initiative to touch you, did I? So, you actually have a big prejudice against me."

"A real scoundrel, a shameless hooligan, wouldn’t just stand up for a better look. They would definitely try to get physical and take advantage. I can accept that you misunderstand me, but I’m really upset when you slander me."

"Cut the crap. Didn’t you... didn’t you touch me just now?" Zi Ling demanded, her face flushed with anger.

At that, Li Qing’s demeanor suddenly became assertive, "Would you have let go if I hadn’t done that?"

"I was almost killed by your pinching; if I hadn’t attacked your weak spot to force you to let go, I would surely have died at your hands today. That’s enough, isn’t it? It was your own carelessness for bending over, and you still want to kill me. You’re too harsh."

"I admit it was wrong of me to stand up and look, but that’s only because you bent over without paying attention, and then you were ready to kill me for it. That’s taking things too far."

Zi Ling snorted lightly, "So what if I do kill you? You’re a scoundrel, a good-for-nothing!"

Li Qing decided not to continue arguing with her about it. That was quite enough.

Clearly, this woman had already been mostly persuaded by his reasoning.

He looked around and said, "Got any water? Give me some, your choking has made my neck feel all sticky."

"No, figure it out yourself!" Zi Ling said bluntly.

Li Qing looked around and, seeing no water whatsoever, said in exasperation, "Don’t you drink water at all during the day? This household situation is quite bad. I’ll figure it out myself."

Li Qing shook his head and sighed as he turned and walked straight out of the room.

If he could be stumped by a lack of water in his own territory, there really was no justice in this world.

After leaving Zi Ling’s room, Li Qing headed straight to his own office on the top floor.

He’d make some tea to drink and take the opportunity to tour his office.

He had only heard that his office was in this place, but he had never visited it himself.

It seemed that Lu Zong had conveyed everything very clearly to the company staff; as Li Qing was going upstairs, preparing to prove his identity and ask them for a tour, the sweet-faced receptionist greeted him with a smile.

"President Li, hello."

Li Qing looked slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "A friend is staying at the hotel, and I just came up to take a look around."

"Okay, then I will prepare and call the heads of each department to come up," the receptionist said with a sweet smile, bending over.

Lu Zong, who employed countless beautiful female staff, clearly put great effort into the company’s public image.

This girl was petite and exquisite, with a sweet and adorable face.

Just looking at this face gave one the sensation of a gentle spring breeze.

"No need, no need," Li Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I’m just here to look at the office and incidentally make some tea to drink."

He was just a nominal vice president who was not involved in any of Lü Zong’s company business, so why meet with those in charge?

His purpose for coming here was simply to brew himself some tea and to take a little rest.

After all, it looked like he wouldn’t be able to go back tonight; if the office was bearable, he planned to make do for the night here instead of bothering to check into a hotel room.

"I see, this way, please!" the receptionist said with a smiling face.

Then, she led Li Qing through twists and turns to the northernmost part of the floor, pushed open the door of an office, and explained, "Although President Li doesn’t often come to the company, the office is still regularly cleaned and tidied, and the items inside are frequently replaced."

Li Qing entered his own office and inwardly sighed deeply, having money is truly great.

An office like this is what those domineering CEOs in TV dramas enjoy.

The inside of the office and tea room looked very upscale, and there was even an extremely private bedroom.

The moment he saw that bedroom, Li Qing’s eyes brightened a little, good, he had a place to stay for the night.

He didn’t need to be picky; this was much more comfortable and convenient than the guest rooms downstairs.

"President Li, let me make tea for you," the receptionist said with a respectful, modest smile.

"No need, I can do it myself; you go and attend to your work," Li Qing said.

He was just here to look around and didn’t want to interfere with her work.

"President Li, making tea for you is actually part of my job. Lü Zong had previously instructed that if you came, I would act as your temporary secretary and take care of some trivial matters of daily life for you," the receptionist said with a light laugh.

Li Qing glanced at the name badge on her uniform and said, "Mi Bai, it’s fine, I can manage on my own."

That girl’s name was Mi Bai, quite a simple yet also striking name.

"Okay then, if you need anything, just call me. Press zero on the phone on the desk, and it will connect you directly to me," Mi Bai said slightly bowing.

"Alright," Li Qing responded with a smile, "By the way, there shouldn’t be any problem with me staying overnight here, right?"

"Of course not, you are the vice president of the group; not to mention staying overnight, you can do anything you want," Mi Bai said.

"Got it, then I’m aware now," Li Qing nodded and said.

Mi Bai left with a brisk step.

Li Qing made himself a simple cup of tea.

Tea is quite magical, after drinking it, plain boiled water is completely insipid.

Of course, it’s also possible that one’s taste has simply become too refined.

It’s easy to adjust from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to revert from extravagance to frugality.

Watching the tea leaves slowly unfurl inside the cup, Li Qing made a phone call to Hong Fang Zhenren.

His visit to see Zi Ling was intended to discuss serious matters, but he ended up busy sparring instead, without mentioning any business.
