6 Can Gods Be Killed? (1/2)

Li Wei casually sat next to his father, making him directly face Zhi Ruo.

Zhi Ruo exposed her fakest smile she could muster in her and immediately bowed her head to eat. She swallowed her anger which each bite of food she ate, making her cheeks puff out. She looked like a squirrel...

Seeing this, Fang Jia Li immediately got worried, ” Zhi Ruo, eat more slowly or else, you are going to choke. ”

Zhi Ruo slightly smiled and nodded, ” Thank you, auntie Fang but I am very busy so I need to go back to my office soon. ”

” So busy you can't even take your time to eat? ” Fang Jia Li exclaimed.

” Well...I guess...? ” Zhi Ruo answered hesitatingly.

Sigh...I could already be considered lucky, the old Zhi Ruo barely ate anything while in work mode...

” This is not healthy! When was the last time you took a day off then? ” Fang Jia Li questioned.

” Well...hum...” Zhi Ruo fumbled for a few seconds, ” Not too long ago...? ”

Zhi Ruo tried to sound convincing but Fang Jia Li asked her assistant, Li Xia, who was quietly eating her lunch, trying to disappear.

” Li Xia, when was the last time Zhi Ruo had a day off? ” she demanded.

” Well..” Li Xia gulped down hard and answered while peeking at her boss, ” I think it was two years ago... when Miss Zhi first started? ”

Zhi Ruo inwardly sighed in her heart, ” Li Xia...You dare betray me like that? I know we just met but?! This is how you help me with my 'not too long ago ' ?! ”

Zhi Ruo bit her lip and awkwardly laughed, ” I didn't realize it's been this long...”

” Zhi Ruo! ” Fang Jia Li sternly called her name.

” Yes! ” Zhi Ruo subconsciously straightened her back.

” I want you to take the rest of your day off! ” Fang Jia Li said.

Zhi Ruo unconsciously gulped down but remembered that she was a rich heiress so she had to act like one.

She self-reflected for a second before politely smile and calmly saying, ” Thank you very much for your concern but my employees are currently working very hard and it wouldn't be fair if I went away unannounced. ”

” What is the use of having workers if you can't even take half a day off? ” Li Cheng spoke up for the first time, backing up his wife.

” Because I can't be a boss without workers! ” Zhi Ruo yelled in her mind but remained calm on the outside.

” That's true but it seems that I still have a lot of things to do today, right Li Xia? ” Zhi Ruo naturally turned to her assistant, hoping that this time she would say the right things...ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
