Chapter 9

The camera stared at her emptily, its blinking red light appearing to mock her

Stumbling and disoriented, I rushed out to open the door, and in that instant of opening, a chill ran down my spine

When family members call, there is a sense of joy and excitement, as if in the next moment, he could step out and become a normal person

I will return to the security room. Mr. Anbao waved his hand, he was almost scared to death. He was awakened by his phone while lying in bed, and the text message inside was actually sent by the young master of the Qi family who lived here. The content was so strange that he had to read it four or five times to confirm its accuracy

Ah? Chi Zhihan recognized that the person outside was the security guard at the entrance of the villa. He appeared to be in his forties and looked as if he had just been pulled out of bed, smiling awkwardly

As I entered, I instinctively turned back to glance at the large vermilion door, which was as tightly shut as ever

The news came too suddenly. All the other colleagues in the company simply signed their respective agreements in their human resources departments, except for Chi Zhihan and Lin Jingwu, who were called to the general manager's office

Chi Zhihan opened her eyes, stunned; the current time is 12:50 AM

Chi Zhihan displayed an expression of bewilderment that mirrored my own

Just as I was about to fall asleep, the doorbell rang

Previously, Mingming wrote a lengthy explanation regarding the camera issue; after just one day of rest, the attitude of the other party seems to have changed completely

This family is not to be trifled with, and there is no need to attempt to strike a stone with an egg; obedience is the only option.

Yes, this is the only one. The elite individual remained expressionless, handing the pen in his hand to Chi Zhihan, indicating that she could sign.

After Chi Zhihan finished delivering the mung bean cakes, she hesitated for a moment, ultimately not daring to actually take out the rice wine, and instead replaced it with barley tea

If it is said that the cause of everything is her one phrase: "Is it to your taste?", she would now be very willing to strangle herself

Her posture is very suitable for being drawn into a comic.

This time, Chi Zhihan finally understood with utmost clarity that when Qi Ning negotiated terms with her regarding the audio recording of the camera, he had truly given her ample consideration.

There was no expectation of a response from the other side; after asking the question, he smiled and continued with his work as a chef

No matter what happens at the door, it has nothing to do with her; it is not something she can manage. What she needs to do is simply communicate

With a smile on her face, she walked into the bedroom holding the menu, closed the door properly, and vented her frustrations while hugging a pillow, baring her teeth. Then, she took out her phone and sent a series of "I'm dying, help me!" emojis to her friend Qi Qing. Finally, she tidied her hair and continued to smile as she opened the door, silently beginning the third day of her casual menu.

Thus, he is actually not bored, being confined here while observing the vibrant life across from him

However, today the company was acquired

Send it over to confirm that he has received it, as quiet and silent as ever

The phrase "whatever" on the menu is truly not meant to put her in a difficult position. Recently, he has been physically exhausted and lacks the energy to think about the menu. The private chefs he had previously hired would also provide a few casual menu options due to a lack of inspiration.

There is simply no choice

Is there something wrong? Did you buy the company she works for just for this supplementary agreement?

What should I do if I completely do not want to communicate with her...

He is not concerned about the treatment plan; he is simply happy that Chi Zhi Han is still living across from him after he wakes up

Only two people live in this house, and it is impossible for someone from across the door to come and knock. So who is outside the door now

However, she seems quite sad

The so-called detailed discussion by Qi Family truly exhibits a rather neurotic demeanor

However, the reality is that, under the gaze of Lin Jingwu and the boss, who made it clear that if we do not sign, we will all be doomed, she gritted her teeth and signed her name.

The agreement, which is the supplementary agreement mentioned by Zhou Jingshuo yesterday, surprisingly only nullifies the clause in the previous contract that prohibited communication with the opposite party

Although the flavor may not be captivating enough to sway a nation, it is indeed delicious

The owner of Chizhi Han's company can be considered an extraordinary individual. Starting from the integration of scalpers' queue resources, he has now expanded to integrating various influencers and live streamers on Weibo to form an economic company. Although the company is not large, it stands out for its human touch, and Chizhi Han has always had a fondness for this company

Lin Jingwu kept sighing, patted her shoulder, and ultimately said nothing

It is merely communication, in which she excels

After being reprimanded by Qi Ning due to his obvious illness, this individual, who remains quite abrupt, will inevitably make astonishing remarks after a period of time

... ...

It is truly as if heaven intends to bring about her downfall

The weather has been a bit cool these days, making it suitable to eat some high-protein and high-calorie foods. For lunch, I plan to make a spicy beef casserole with beef, white radish, and mushrooms, paired with a refreshing stir-fried asparagus. How does that sound?" Looking up at the camera with a smile, "For dinner, I will prepare shredded pork with chives, diced tomatoes and corn, and a yam and crucian carp soup. It's actually not advisable to eat too much for a late-night snack, so how about frying a potato pancake? I brought some homemade rice wine, which pairs very well with the potato pancake.

Chi Zhihan also smiled mockingly, it was the third day, and she had already talked to herself to the point of being completely at a loss for words, yet there was no response from the other side

Returning to the bedroom, I called Qi Qing to express my grievances, lying in bed in a starfish position

"You only cooked for ten days, how could it end up like this?" Lin Jingwu also received the news only this morning, and at this moment, he asked through gritted teeth in a lowered voice.

Ultimately, it was not his illness that caused her to lose her job

Only this one? '' Chi Zhihan felt that her voice was trembling.

Half-reclining on the bed, Qi Cheng's pen tip paused as he glanced at the surveillance screen, then expressionlessly lowered his head to continue drawing.

It was terrifying

The Qi Ning couple is a pair of very theatrical perverts

There will be no changes to the operations of your company. Mr. Zhou's acquisition of your company is merely to facilitate management. The elite individual kindly explained, then nodded at Chi Zhihan, "Apart from the legal entity, the details of your contract remain the same as before. Miss Chi, there is an additional supplementary agreement for you to review. If you find anything unsatisfactory, we can discuss it in detail."

Originally, the slight displeasure in her heart due to her concealment of knowing about the camera's audio recording was further diminished by this scent

Just for this one

Miss Chi. The man outside the door swiftly propped his foot against the door that Chi Zhihan was trying to close, quickly explaining his purpose, "I came to collect the rice wine."

The company did not incur any losses, and Qijia's offer is higher than the market price. After acquiring the company, there are demands only on Chi Zhihan, while the others are disregarded. The boss has made a considerable profit and is pleased with this outcome

It seems that only he believes that healing is impossible

Ask the person opposite if they are bored or not

I will make a phone call to confirm first Chi Zhihan finally regained some sense of reason

... ...

His recovery speed from this episode surprised many people, all of his medications were changed, and he could feel it himself, the frequency of hallucinations decreased, and the quality of his sleep began to improve

She longed to tear up the absurd agreements before her and walk away

He praised him so much that he really couldn't continue painting. When the delivery arrived, he surprisingly took a bite as well

She is merely doing her job for money, as long as she is unaware of his illness

Returning to the villa also involved a dedicated car service. Chi Zhihan brought along homemade doubanjiang, rice wine, and other items that required time to prepare.

Chi Zhihan sighed as she looked at the beautifully written menu in her hand. This was already the third day, and the menu had only six characters. After three meals a day, it was followed by just two words: whatever

He even feels that simply maintaining the current state, with occasional episodes, is quite good in a quiet manner

Qijia has acquired their company

Chi Zhihan slightly pursed her lips; this time, she successfully suppressed her curiosity

That... the security officer rubbed his hands, revealing an expression of being innocently forced as well, "Rice wine, it was on your previous menu, there was rice wine."

"Do you feel bored living here all by yourself?" Chi Zhihan lowered her head and asked softly

He can probably guess that Dr. Zhao has included Chi Zhihan in the treatment plan; otherwise, as one of the triggers for his last episode, Chi Zhihan would not be able to remain here.

One of the purposes of that car was to take her to the company to re-sign the contract

There may be some envy, but it is truly not boring

Can he drink alcohol? he asked hesitantly

Since that clause has been removed, it is naturally hoped that Miss Chi will engage in more communication. The elite individuals completed their tasks, tidied up their belongings, and rose without any lingering attachment. Of course, Mr. Zhou's elaborate efforts are also aimed at ensuring that Miss Chi does not make any further mistakes. The contract terms are very detailed, and all of your actions during your service at Qijia must adhere to the terms and the guidelines.

Damn it, she actually opened the door without even looking.

This is no longer a matter of self-esteem

... ...

Chi Zhihan scratched his head

Two disheveled individuals simultaneously gazed at the large vermilion door across from them

Even if he knows that being confined here and never going out, with such strange behavior, anyone would speculate that he has an underlying illness, but it is just that the exact name of the illness is unknown

An episode of illness consumes a great deal of energy; for the past few days, he has spent most of his time resting in bed, while the neighbor next door remains as noisy as ever

Is there really a doorbell where she lives

The day before yesterday, for lunch, she made stir-fried rice cakes with blue crabs. While seasoning, she tasted it herself and then began to praise herself profusely, extolling her qualities from being graceful and talented to being stunningly beautiful...

Chi Zhihan looked at the name of the legal representative of the company on the contract, and her eyelids twitched uncontrollably

Mr. Anbo also scratched his head

Late last night, Zhou Jingshuo's detailed discussion transformed the next morning into a dedicated vehicle to pick up Chi Zhihan, who had a day off. The car went directly to the company where Chi Zhihan worked

Zhou Jingshuo

Moreover, she no longer harbored any thoughts of challenging Qi's authority, adhering strictly to the contract, and she would not commit even the slightest transgression

In the office sat their boss and another elite individual dressed in a suit with a stern expression, handing two contracts to Chi Zhihan and Lin Jingwu

The hand that was painting came to a halt again. Qi Cheng turned his head and squinted at the monitor, observing Chi Zhihan's calm demeanor as she cooked.

What exactly does your boss want me to do? Chi Zhihan is truly baffled; everyone else involved in the Qi Family Kitchen has managed to walk away unscathed, so why is it only her who has ended up like this

"If it can't be drunk, why is it included on the menu?" The earnest security guard mumbled.

However, communication should be a two-way process
