Addicted: Book Two - The Raging Flames of Passion

Chapter 95 - Deliriously Anxious

"When did you come in?"

Looking at Gu Hai's bloodshot eyes, Tong Zhe lightly said, "Not too long ago."

Gu Hai nodded as he passed the blueprint to Tong Zhe.

"Follow the quantity and specifications of this blueprint, these lights must be manufactured tomorrow before sunset."

After remaining silent for a while, Tong Zhe finally spoke. "There is no more room in the warehouse."

Without bothering to lift his head, Gu Hai simply said, "Aren't there a lot of empty spaces in the company itself? If it does not fit in the warehouse, put them in the conference rooms, managers and employee offices, or in the corridors. As long as the place can guarantee the safety of these lights, you can put them anywhere you wish."

Tong Zhe really wanted to ask Gu Hai, are you going to give each person a light when you get married?

Even if that is the case, you would need half of the residence in the capital to come in order to completely give out all these lights.

After quite some time had passed and Tong Zhe still did not leave, Gu Hai only added one last sentence.

"I will not answer any of your questions whatsoever."

Just as Tong Zhe exited the office, he saw Yan Ya Jing rushing over from afar.

"What do you want?" Tong Zhe held onto Yan Ya Jing.

Yan Ya Jing flusteredly said, "Let me go. I really have something important to discuss with Gu Hai this time!"

Tong Zhe nevertheless held on tight- compared to when he deliberately blocked her before, this time his expression was with utmost earnest.

"I'm advising you, it is best not to go in. I'm serious."

Yan Ya Jing stared attentively at Tong Zhe. "If I don't go in, the company will go bankrupt. With so many lights piling up, how and when will they ever be sold? Listen, it has already exceeded our normal sales by more than ten times! The company is already in a financial strait and heavily in debt to external third parties, the stocks are dropping. If Gu Hai continues working recklessly, we are all going to have nothing to eat along with him!"[1]

Tong Zhe maintained an unshakeable demeanor.

"Even if you don't say it, he himself knows it clearly already. Since he understands it and still insist on doing so, he must have his reasons."

Yan Ya Jing hopelessly rested the back of her head against the wall. "How come I can't seem to understand Gu Hai even more than ever now?"

Hearing that, Tong Zhe sneered coldly. "You had never understood him."

"Who said I never understood him?" Yan Ya Jing became anxious, "When he and I started the business, you were still in Hong Kong delivering takeaway food! Don't always give me that 'newcomers will prevail' kind of manner. You know, the intrinsically superior are bound to outdo the inferior,[2] so even if I am no longer placed in a high position, I still have more authority than you."

With only those words from Tong Zhe, he was able to smother anything else that Yan Ya Jing had to say.

"If you really understood him, you would have left him long ago."

On the fourth day of herding sheep, Bai Luo Yin encountered a wolf.

Before the two had time to get into the helicopter, the wild wolf ran madly toward them, while the flock of sheep dispersed in confusion. The wolf had locked its gaze on one particular sheep and chased after it as if playing around for some time before ruthlessly biting into its head in one go.
