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 a.s.sistant, 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 a.s.sistant, hoping that this time she would say the right things...ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
" Well, our president is quite busy these days. She has a lot of meetings, doc.u.ments to be signed and projects to be reviewed. Furthermore, Miss Zhi just presented a new project and there will be a great amount of work to do. " Li Xia explained.
" Good job Li Xia! " Zhi Ruo gave her thumbs up in her head but at the same time felt a huge headache just thinking about the pile of doc.u.ments on her desk.
Hearing their conversation, the uninterested Li Wei finally lifted his head and asked in curiosity, " Miss Zhi presented a project? "
As he was a president himself, he had a lot of things to do whether it was paperwork or meetings, contract signing and so much more. How could someone younger than him be able to search for new projects and do the extra work?
" Yes, our president is very dedicated. We have a lot of things to do but I also agree with Madame Fang. I think Miss Zhi should take the rest of the day off. We should be able to handle the slight delay it will cause. " Li Xia commented.
Zhi Ruo took a deep breath and bit her lip in frustration, " Thank you for the thought but what about my opinion?!?! "
" You see? Even your a.s.sistant told you to take a break. " Fang Jia Li finally calmed down a bit.
" How about this, you can go get a ma.s.sage and a facial. I know a shop which makes incredible results! " Fang Jia Li happily suggested.
" It would be nice but..." Zhi Ruo wanted to refuse but Fang Jia Li cut her off.
" Li Wei, you should accompany her. You also need to take a break! "
" To a facial? Never. " Li Wei bluntly answered.
" ... " A strange silence followed before Fang Jia Li proposed something else, " How about watching a movie and shopping together then? "
...
After a long debate with both sides arguing about this subject, on one hand, Zhi Ruo and Li Wei who were against it and on the other hand Li Cheng, Fang Jia Li and Li Xia who were pus.h.i.+ng them to take a break.
The outcome was that Zhi Ruo and Li Wei got dropped off at a mall which includes a movie theatre.
...Well...
Zhi Ruo awkwardly looked up to the tall man and sighed with exasperation, " Can G.o.ds be killed? "
Suddenly she opened her eyes and a strange light flashed in her eyes, Zhi Ruo naturally looked sideways and confirmed her suspicion.

Feeling half desperate, Zhi Ruo banged her head in her mind," Fine, who cares? He"ll just thank me for saving his life!"
Zhi Ruo turned to Li Wei and she exposed a sweet smile, completely different from her usual self.
" I"m so happy that you could spend some time with me! " Zhi Ruo happily said as she embraced the man, her arms hooking around his neck.
