The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 765 - 780: I wouldn’t dare joke about a lifelong matter.

Zhong Li kept a smile on her face, but inside she was wondering if she had offended this woman.

"Put the coffee on the table and leave first." Qi Shangyu said.

"Okay, President Qi." Zhong Li put down the coffee cup, nodded at Li Jiaxue, and then left.

Just as Zhong Li walked out of the office, she saw Assistant Wang hurrying over: "Am I late? Did you get bombarded?"

Zhong Li shrugged innocently: "President Qi’s mother really exudes a strong presence."

"Did Empress Dowager Cixi pick on you?" Assistant Wang walked side by side with Zhong Li towards the office.

"It was okay, I wouldn’t call it picking on me."

Pushing the door open and entering the office, Assistant Wang sat down at his desk: "It’s almost time to get off work. Want to go out for dinner together tonight?"

"Forget it, I still have a document to finish up, might have to work overtime." Zhong Li took a sip of the plain water on the table, paused, and continued: "Didn’t you go to that matchmaking event yesterday? Found anyone you fancy?"

"The good ones don’t fancy me, and I don’t fancy the not-so-good ones. Why is it so hard to find a girl I like?"

Zhong Li laughed, putting down the cup in her hand: "Could it be that your standards are a bit too high?"

"Not high at all. She should have a figure like Yang Mi, looks similar to Lin Xinru, and a gentle, kind, and understanding temperament."

Zhong Li leaned on the desk, hands supporting herself on the table behind her, watching Assistant Wang with determination and shook her head helplessly: "Are you serious about these requirements?"

"Of course, I wouldn’t joke about my lifelong partner."

Zhong Li almost laughed out loud; Wang Hao’s work ability was undeniable, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed in the president’s office for so many years, but he’s just a bit... quirky.

"Actually, I think you can lower your standards a bit; ignore the figure and looks, just focus on being gentle, kind, and understanding."

Zhong Li felt she needed to give him some advice, or he might end up single for the rest of his life.

Assistant Wang nodded earnestly: "I’ll think about it."

After work, Assistant Wang tidied up his desk and left after saying goodbye to Zhong Li. Actually, Zhong Li didn’t need to work overtime; the documents in hand weren’t urgent.

She just felt that there wasn’t much to do at home and might as well stay in the office for overtime work.

Not sure how long she’d been busy, but the documents in her hands were mostly done. Zhong Li straightened up, reached up to squeeze her slightly sore shoulders, and went to the break room to make herself a cup of coffee.

The colleagues had mostly left, and only a handful were working overtime—Zhong Li returned to her office with the coffee just as her phone on the desk rang.

She went over, put the cup on the table, and picked up the phone to glance at the name on the screen, pressing the answer button with her fingertip.

"Why haven’t you gone home yet this late?" The voice of Gu Nanxi came from the other end, slightly worried or maybe somewhat reproachful.

"I’m working overtime at the company; do you need anything?"

Gu Nanxi had just gotten home, initially planning to have dinner at Zhong Li’s place, but after pressing the doorbell for a while with no response, ended up calling her. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"I’ll come pick you up, wait there for me."

Zhong Li was just about to say "no need" when the call got cut off; she turned off the phone and picked up the coffee cup from the table, walking to the window in her high heels, gazing complexly at the city outside under the evening lights.
