Chapter 8 Danger

Hearing his name, Song Ci subconsciously raised his head, and what he saw was Gao Ze leaning out in panic, shouting something to her at the top of his lungs.

The piece of gravel was falling in her direction. Song Ci's pupils shrank sharply, but his steps seemed to be filled with lead and he couldn't move forward.

The next second he fell into a warm embrace.

"Forget it, you're stupid. You won't hide when you are in danger." Zhou Lian looked down at the frightened man in his arms and couldn't help but frown and scolded.

A person who usually acted vigorously and resolutely just stood there like this. If his quick eyesight and hands hadn't quickly grabbed him, Song Ci would have had to go to the hospital today.

Song Ci's chest rose and fell, and he took a deep breath, only to regain consciousness slightly when he smelled the familiar cologne fragrance on Zhou Lian's body.

"Thank you." This is not the first time she has thanked Zhou Lian, but it is one of the few that sincerely expresses her gratitude.

"Yeah." Zhou Lian responded casually without letting go of his hand.

Song Ci, who had just escaped from danger, had no time to take into account how ambiguous the posture between the two was.

If the situation were different, others might have begun to suspect that there was some ulterior relationship between the two.

But at this moment, she was held tightly in Zhou Lian's arms, and his broad shoulders isolated her from all dangers in the outside world, giving her a sense of security.

Her weak, boneless hands were still on Zhou Lian's waist. Zhou Lian lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply, their breaths intertwined.

Because he was so close, Song Ci could clearly hear Zhou Lian's heartbeat, and the rapid beating frequency of his heart betrayed the person in front of him.

At least, Zhou Lian is not as calm as he seems.

Even Zhou Lian didn't realize that the moment he saw the piece of gravel about to hit Song Ci, his heart twitched hard.

The incident happened so quickly that no one around him could react.

After seeing Song Ci safely and safely protected by Zhou Lian, Gao Ze and Sun Changshu heaved a long sigh of relief.

Gao Ze's back was already wet with cold sweat. If something happened to Song Ci, he would be completely finished.

Sun Changshu, who was on the side, wiped the sweat from his forehead and told people that if something happened on the construction site, how would the business be done after this news spread?

"Mr. Song, are you okay?" Sun Changshu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Song Ci hurriedly withdrew from Zhou Lian's arms and put a little distance between them.

She raised her head and glanced at Gao Ze, who was still standing upstairs, and said in a cold tone, "Thanks to Mr. Zhou, I'm fine. But Manager Sun should pay more attention in the future and don't let in all the cats and dogs."

"Yes, yes, you are right. We will strictly manage him in the future." How dare Sun Changshu not respond? He was overjoyed that Song Ci did not hold him accountable.

It's nothing new that construction sites are prone to accidents, but the people who almost had an accident today were Song Ci and Zhou Lian, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Sun Changshu cursed Gao Ze in his heart and continued to smile apologetically at Song Ci and Zhou Lian.

Gao Ze, who had gotten into trouble, came down from upstairs and walked slowly to Song Ci, "Mr. Song...are you okay?"

Song Ci didn't even bother to pay attention to him. He folded his hands and said coldly, "Go back to the company to receive the punishment."

"Yes...yes." Gao Ze knew he was in the wrong, so he could only swallow his words and agree.

Zhou Lian on the side smiled casually, with a bit of joking coldness in his eyes, "I can't tell that Mr. Song is so kind-hearted that he is not willing to fire employees who get into trouble."

Song Ci looked stunned.

She only kept Gao Ze to disgust Su Nan, but there was no need for Zhou Lian to know the reason.

She looked straight at Zhou Lian, her lips slightly raised, "Isn't it the same with Mr. Zhou?"

He himself is not clean, so what qualifications do he have to point fingers at her.

Zhou Lian withdrew his gaze, walked sideways past Song Ci, and continued walking forward.

Song Ci pursed his lips, unable to tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.

There was always a thorn between her and Zhou Lian, and a slight mistake could make her bleed.

-

Gao Ze returned to the company in disgrace. As soon as he arrived at the office, he was blocked by the menacing Su Nan.

"Gao Ze, come out, I have something to tell you!" After the unhappy breakup last night, Su Nan wanted to come to Gao Ze to explain things clearly as soon as she entered the company this morning.

But after waiting for a long time, the news came that Gao Ze had followed Song Ci to the construction site in the north of the city.

Su Nan was even more convinced that Gao Ze had turned a deaf ear to Song Ci.

Not only did he take away the opportunity to go to France, but he is now inseparable from Song Ci in the company.

She worked absentmindedly all morning and finally arrived at Gao Ze.

Gao Ze's mood was not much better at the moment, and he had no intention of dealing with Su Nan.

He frowned and glared at Su Nan, then lowered his voice and said, "This is the company. If you have anything to say, can't we go back and talk about it?"

Su Nan sneered, "Why do you start to distance yourself from me when you climb a high branch? Gao Ze, you didn't behave like this when you were working in the company!"

Gao Ze was so frightened by her words that his face turned pale and he quickly looked around.

It happened to be lunch break and there was no one in the office.

He breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it even with eight mouths.

Su Nan was even more angry when she saw that he was afraid of being seen by others, and threatened, "If you don't tell me clearly today, I will tell Song all the things you did behind your back." Resign!"

"How dare you!" Gao Ze looked at her with a livid face.

If Song Ci knew that he had been sleeping with Su Nan secretly, his love and career would be completely ruined.

Now, he finally caught Song Ci's eye and got a good opportunity that others could only dream of.

At this critical moment, he couldn't even make a wrong move.

After figuring out the stakes of the matter, Gao Ze's expression softened slightly.

A smile appeared on his face, and he took Su Nan's hand and walked to the stairwell. After making sure that no one was there, he coaxed in a gentle tone, "In my heart, how can Song Ci compare with you?"

Su Nan snorted coldly at him, feeling a little relieved.

Gao Ze knew that she had always been soft-spoken, so he spoke in a lighter tone. He held the person in his arms and said, "Besides, it's different for us. Anyway, our goal is to get rid of Song Ci." Get more benefits.”

Su Nan was moved, but in the end she was still unwilling.

"But I have worked hard for so long to get such an opportunity. Why should Song Ci just give in!"

Gao Ze sighed and said hypocritically, "In this case, I can only take the initiative to tell Song Ci to give up this opportunity. I don't know who she will arrange it for when the time comes."

Su Nan bit her lip.

She finally realized that as long as Song Ci didn't want her to go, it would be useless no matter how hard she tried.

Both she and Gao Ze were just playthings in Song Ci's hands.

"Forget it, you can go if you want." Su Nan finally let go.

Gao Ze hugged him tighter and comforted him softly with all kinds of sweet words.

Where Su Nan couldn't see, there was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes.

It would be great if Song Ci could be as easy to deceive as Su Nan.
