Chapter 272 Something happened!

Around 10 o'clock, Fang Li was getting ready to go to sleep when she received a WeChat message from Han Xi.

She was surprised because he had been making video calls at this time almost without fail these past few days, but this time there was only one message.

She opened it while lying in bed; it only contained a short sentence:

"There's been a slight problem with the overseas project. Wait for me."

Fang Li frowned slightly, then quickly regained her composure: "What happened?"

But there was no movement from the other side for a long time.

On second thought, he should already be on the plane. Fang Li held her phone and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

In the end, all I could do was leave him a message:

"Be safe and come back soon."

Seeing that the chat box remained silent, Fang Li buried herself in the soft quilt.

...that night.

Fang Li didn't sleep well all night because of this news.

I always wake up intermittently, and after waking up, I look at the dark room and the cold half of the bed, and I can't fall back asleep for a long time.

Therefore, she got up before six o'clock the next morning.

After quickly tidying up and washing up, without disturbing Yang Miao and Aunt Rong, I picked up my bag and went out.

Fang Li didn't call a driver today; she drove herself.

I don't know how it happened, but before I knew it, I had driven to the pedestrian street near Kyoto University.

Han Xi had previously said that he would come back and they would do it together again.

I originally thought that the situation in Beicheng would be over in two or three days at most, but unexpectedly, something happened abroad now.

The pedestrian street in the early morning was nothing like the bustling and lively evening. All the shops and stalls were closed for the day, and a few sanitation workers were lightly sweeping the streets.

Fang Li parked her car across the street, looked at the breakfast stalls that were open early at the alley entrance, thought for a moment, and then opened the door to get out.

.......

Although Ji Tiantian lives the furthest from the city center, she is always the first one to arrive every morning.

She swiped her card and entered the company before eight o'clock.

Upon entering, I noticed that all the company lights were on. Fang Li, who usually arrives late or just barely makes it to the office, was cleaning the office area with a rag.

"Sister Fang Li! Why are you here so early?"

Ji Tiantian was surprised and quickly took off her bag and put it on her workstation, and went over to help her.

Fang Li dodged her outstretched hand and smiled, "I couldn't sleep, so I just came early."

"Let me do it!"

"No need, I brought you breakfast, go and eat."

"Huh?" Ji Tiantian was taken aback, and asked somewhat uneasyly, "Sister Fang Li, are you... is something wrong?"

Fang Li looked up and chuckled: "What's wrong? Can't I treat my employees to a simple breakfast if there's nothing wrong?"

"Of course not! It's just...it's just..."

Ji Tiantian was hesitating, unsure of what to say, when another figure walked in through the door.

"If the boss who's always late suddenly comes in this early, it's either to check up on us or he has something to do."

The two turned to look.

Ji Tiantian breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Good morning, Director Zhou."

"morning."

Fang Li held up the cloth and blew it slightly: "I finally managed to get up early this once in a while, and instead of praising me, you're being sarcastic?"

Zhou Yufan chose a wrap from the breakfast Fang Li brought, then glanced at her and said, "You're the boss. You come early or late for your company. Why should I praise you? Besides, isn't what I said the truth?"

"Ask Tian Tian if that's what she thinks?"

"..." Fang Li looked at Ji Tiantian beside her.

Ji Tiantian's face stiffened, then she gave a dry laugh: "...Um, I, I'll also choose a breakfast. It's brought by Sister Fang Li, it must be delicious!"

Seeing them one by one, Fang Li remained silent for a moment before shaking her head with a forced smile.

have to.

She had figured out how she was perceived by these employees.

It seems she'll have to discipline herself more in the future, try not to be late or leave early, and be a punctual and responsible boss!

The studio's working hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with a two-hour break at noon.

Before 8:20, the employees arrived one after another.

There is only one workstation left that is empty.

Fang Li came out of the break room, glanced at the empty workstation, said nothing, and picked up her cup to go back to her office.

At that moment, a figure rushed out of the elevator lobby. The person was still swiping their card at the door when their voices reached the office area.

"Quick! Something's happened! Look at today's trending topics! Big news! Hurry!"

The girl is 24 years old and has just graduated a year ago. She is a newly recruited planner at the company last week, named Miyi.

"Mr. Xu...Mr. Xu!"

Upon seeing Xu Fangli standing opposite her, Mi Yi nearly spilled the porridge she was drinking.

Fortunately, the brakes were applied in time, preventing a tragedy.

She immediately straightened her appearance, met Fang Li's cold gaze, and quickly hid the things in her hands behind her back, standing there like a child who had made a mistake, head down and motionless.

Fang Li remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was quite surprised.

Does she look fierce, or does she leave a serious impression on them? Isn't this a huge change?

"you......."

"Mr. Xu, I'm not late! I was under thirty when I clocked in, really! I'm really not late!"

Fang Li was amused by the girl wearing overalls and round pink-rimmed glasses.

"I know, why are you so nervous?"

Mi Yi was taken aback.

Fang Li gestured with her chin: "Go eat your breakfast first, it'll get cold soon."

“…” Mi Yi stood there, not daring to move.

Finally, Ji Tiantian came over and pulled her back, and she went back looking uneasy.

"Why are you here so early today, Mr. Xu?"

"do not know."

"Was she deliberately catching me for being late? Did I overreact? Will she remember me for this? Will she think I was late and not give me a permanent position?!"

"No, Mr. Xu is not that kind of person."

Ji Tiantian comforted her, "Here, this is the breakfast that President Xu bought for everyone. It's all left for you, so hurry up and eat it."

“I’m the only one left…” Mi Yi looked at the breakfast on the table, her face falling. “Oh no! Mr. Xu definitely thinks I’m late!”

Ji Tiantian was helpless.

Then, remembering something, she changed the subject: "By the way, you just said something happened? What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Yi's gloomy expression vanished instantly, replaced by a gossipy nervousness as she exclaimed, "Don't you guys check your phones this early in the morning? Entertainment and social news headlines are all over the place this morning!"

Upon hearing this, the colleagues who had been eavesdropping nearby all pulled out their phones.

Soon after, the office was filled with sighs of surprise and murmurs of discussion.

Among the group of people, only Ji Tiantian looked worried and nervously stared at the closed office door.

Fang Lili drank a cup of coffee by the bedside, feeling her muddled mind clear up a bit. Just as she was about to go back to work, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Immediately afterwards, Ji Tiantian pushed the door open and came in.

"Sweetie? What's up?"

Ji Tiantian hesitated for a moment, walked over and looked at her across the desk for a long time before placing her phone in front of her with an uneasy expression.

"Sister Fang Li, you should see for yourself."
