Teacher, spare me/Love and hate intertwined/Book Pavilion

  In the afternoon, Xu Liu'er went to his office several times, each time delivering some documents or materials he needed. However, despite going back and forth so many times, he didn't even glance at her, let alone speak to her. He didn't even raise an eyebrow, his gaze fixed either on the computer screen in front of him or on the phone call he was making.

  She naturally sensed that something was wrong with him, and she also knew that he must be unhappy because she had avoided him by turning her head outside the office earlier. She wanted to say something to him, but didn't know how to start, so she just became more anxious and flustered.

  Just before getting off work, he called her into his office again with a phone call. She stood in front of his desk with some trepidation, watching as he laid out the documents she had previously submitted one by one, his fingers long and powerful with distinct joints. As she looked at him, she suddenly felt an urge to cry.

  He arranged them neatly and looked up at her, stretching out his slender fingers to tap on one of the documents, his tone completely formal and indifferent.

  "This document is about Gold Coast, but what I need is information about Merlin Town which is currently under negotiation!"

  She was taken aback, and hastily lowered her eyes to look at the document. Sure enough, she saw the three big words "Golden Coast" prominently printed on the cover of the file folder. Her face suddenly started burning with a fiery sensation.

  "Sorry..."

  She said in a low voice, how did it happen, she obviously took the one from Meilin Town, but why did it become Jinhaian.

  He knocked on another one beside him and continued to say,

  "This document is missing several pages in the middle. Didn't you check if the page numbers were correct before printing and binding it?"

  She was choked again, looked at him awkwardly, but he only had a face full of indifference and displeasure. Her heart stung for a moment, then she lowered her eyes and stood there without speaking. This sharp and fierce him made her feel strange and terrified.

  "This English proposal, I have no idea what you've done, not to mention the grammatical errors. Is this how Sunny taught you? Or is this how I taught you English grammar?"

  His fingers moved to another document, continuing to speak coldly, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to drill into the seam on the ground.

  Although she had only been here for a few days, she could feel that he was a very diligent and meticulous person at work, but she made so many mistakes in one afternoon...

  Lu Zhou sat there, coldly staring at her as she kept her head down and didn't speak. The chill in his eyes grew deeper, and after a while, he let out a self-mocking laugh and leaned back into the genuine leather chair behind him.

  "Xu Liu'ao, at noon today, Dong Chen will mention Qingchu to you, right?"

  Otherwise, how could she have made so many mistakes in the afternoon with a restless mind? In his opinion, although she is new, she is also a person who is strict with herself at work. Otherwise, how could she have rejected and dodged him when he just touched her? Before that, she didn't even have such a strong rejection when he asked her questions, but now she can't stand it just by touching her once?

  He said that, and Xu Liuyi, who had been feeling uneasy all along, suddenly raised his head to look at him, with a shocked expression in his eyes. How did he know? Was it another rumor that reached his ears?

  He seemed to see through her puzzled eyes and smiled coldly.

  "No wonder so many mistakes occurred while thinking about one's crush and working at the same time!"

  Does such a thing still need to be told by others? He himself guessed it, according to his investigation, Fang Dongchen had a crush on her since high school, and now that they've met again, he'll definitely pursue her again. Before pursuing her, he must ask about her current situation with Chen Qingchu, after all, she and Chen Qingchu were a couple that everyone knew and looked up to.

  His sarcastic words and indifferent tone made Xu Liuyin feel very uncomfortable, but she also had nothing to say for herself. After all, it was her mistake at work in the first place, she admitted that Fang Dongchen's mention of Chen Qingchu at noon did affect her mood, but she shouldn't have brought her personal emotions to work either.

  Her stubborn silence made Lu Zhou feel like he was punching a cotton ball, the suffocating feeling in his chest didn't dissipate but instead accumulated more, because her silence was equivalent to admitting that everything he said was true, it was equivalent to admitting that Chen Qingchu really did affect her mood!

  He suddenly stood up and threw those few documents in front of her, saying harshly.

  "Take it back and redo! I want to see it before you leave work!"

  The loud thud of the heavy object hitting the ground violently stimulated Xu Liu's fragile nerves, and she felt a sourness in her nose as tears almost fell. But she gritted her teeth to hold back those tears, then bent down to pick up the files. What right did she have to cry? Everything now was her own doing!

  Who made her so vulnerable to Chen Qingchu's manipulation of her thoughts, who made her have no professional ethics and bring her personal emotions to work? But even though she told herself it was her fault first, she was still hurt by his cold and ruthless attitude.

  She hastily picked up those documents and rushed out of his office, or else she was afraid that she would really cry.

  But as soon as she walked out of his office door, tears still flowed down uncontrollably. Lin Shanni happened to walk out and saw her like this, hurried over to ask her with concern.

  "Liuyi, why are you crying?"

  Her tears flowed even more fiercely, she wiped her face full of tears and said to Lin Shanni in a flustered manner:

  "I'm fine, I'll go back to work first!"

  Then he rushed into his own office with the file in his arms.

  Lin Shanni looks

  She sighed at her back, when would they be able to get a good ending between them?

  Xu Liuhui returned to the office and didn't have time to be sad, so he started working on that proposal plan which was said to be full of mistakes by him. He said it had to be done before the end of work, but now there wasn't much time left until the end of work.

  But no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't finish her work by the end of the day. Just as she was about to order takeout and stay late to continue working, he called again, his tone still indifferent and formal.

  "Xu Secretary, get ready, tonight we'll go have dinner with clients together!"

  She took a look at her unfinished business plan and said with difficulty,

  "But I haven't finished that business plan yet..."

  "Then just wait until after dinner with the client and come back to work overtime!"

  His voice was devoid of any sympathy or pity, she only felt a sharp pain in her heart, and then suddenly shut her mouth tight and fell silent, while he coldly snorted and hung up the phone.

  In the office, after Lu Zhou hung up the phone, he took out a cigarette and lit it, leaning against the window and taking one puff after another. In the swirling smoke, she saw the outline of his profile, quiet and melancholy.

  Actually, being in his position, there are social engagements almost every day. As his secretary, she should accompany him to attend, but he privately didn't want her to be tainted and corrupted by those things, so he never took her with him.

  He even turned down those social engagements, just so he could have dinner with her at home every night. As for overtime, there was none since she arrived, and he wanted to go home early every day to see her.

  He used to work so hard, often staying up late and working overtime, just to make up for the pain of not being able to get her. Now that she's back in Shenyang for work, he doesn't want to overwork himself and tire her out even more.

  But thinking of her being disheartened and restless in the afternoon because of Chen Qingchu, thinking of her rejection towards him, he hated her so much that his teeth itched, he really wanted to let the heartless and ruthless her taste what pain and despair were, so he couldn't help but say those words to her, and even forced her to go with him to socialize!

  After work, Xu Liu followed him into the elevator to attend some social gathering he mentioned. She didn't like such occasions, but she also knew that no matter which company, this was something a secretary or assistant had to do. She thought being by his side would help her avoid these things, and previously he had never asked her to participate before. Now he suddenly became so aloof, was it... had she really angered him?

  As soon as she stepped out of the elevator and walked into the hall, Fang Dongchen was already waiting there, waving at her.

  "Xǔ Liú Yī!"

  Seeing Lu Zhouyue beside her, Fang Dongchen restrained his smile and greeted him respectfully.

  "Director Lu!"

  Lu Zhou glanced at him and let out a cold hum from his nostrils, then continued walking forward. Fang Dongchen didn't mind, walked over to Xu Liuyi and said,

  "Flowing, are you free tonight? Let's go have dinner together?"

  Last time he asked her about the thing with Lu Zhouyue, she only said that she was admitted as his secretary based on her own ability, and he chose to believe her, because he knew that she had always been such an excellent person. He never thought that she and Lu Zhouyue were in such a relationship.

  Xu Liu'ou glanced at the straight but obviously displeased back in front of him and said to Dong Chen.

  "Dong Chen, I'm really sorry, but tonight I have to accompany President Lu to a dinner party!"

  Fang Dongchen heard this and quickly said

  "Oh, okay, no big deal, let's reschedule for another day, you go ahead and take care of your business first!"

  "Alright, I'll go first!"

  She finished speaking and ran after the figure in front of her, who didn't show any signs of waiting for her. She had already provoked him enough today, she didn't want to provoke him again, or he would torture her even more.

  There is still one more thing.

  So far so good, so what
