The reason he was so eager to settle things was so he could propose to her.
There was no sound from the phone for a long time, after a while, Ji Ying Li said: "Master Lu, what do you mean?"
"A Li, can you stop talking about Master Lu? Don't forget, in addition to being my secretary, you are also my girlfriend, I'm not working hours right now." Lu Chen slightly raised her tone, looking helpless. His girlfriend's thinking was truly unimaginable, even after dating for so long, she still called him that.
"It's just a form of address, why do you care so much? I think calling you Master Lu is pretty good." Ji Ying Li pouted her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction. She really did not understand a man's heart, it was just a form of address, what's the big deal, she did not like to be like her friend who called him "A Chen" or "Master Lu" at all.
"Then when we get married, will you also call me Master Lu?" Lu Chen raised her eyebrows.
Ji Ying Li was startled for a moment, then said: "You want to propose to me?"
"If you think that marriage proposal is vulgar, we can actually give up on this step and just directly get married." Lu Chen teased.
"Of course not, it's fine if you didn't court me, but if you don't even take the step of proposing marriage, I won't agree."
Ji Ying Li rejected it without even thinking. She felt that she was rather wronged, to have been taken in as a girlfriend by her superior for no reason. She hadn't even gotten a single flower in three years, and had toiled all day with him, having so few days of rest.
When she thought of this, an image of him kneeling on one knee appeared in her mind. Just thinking about it made her feel happy.
"Then what are you going to call me in the future?"
Ji Ying Li laughed, then paused and said in all seriousness: "Maybe you can call me Mr. Lu, or just call me by my name, I won't call you husband anyways, I'm dead."
"A Li, why is your temper so weird?" Lu Chen laid back on the bed, holding her phone with one hand and the other hand behind her head, looking very relaxed.
However, thinking about it, he smiled. This girl's character had changed a lot, when she was his secretary, she always had a cold expression, as if everyone owed her hundreds of thousands of yuan. She was cold and boring and couldn't be a joke.
Ji Ying Li rolled his eyes, feeling that this person was a little disgusted with her, "In any case, I'm still not in your possession, we can scatter at any time. You're not the only one who likes me, there are too many people who like me, you can change your Mrs. Lu."
"You're not allowed to look for him." Lu Chen's tone became a bit heavier, and felt that Pei Li Heng was simply a big threat to him.
"That will depend on your performance."
"A Li, did you call me to anger me?" Lu Chen could not help but grind her teeth, where did the dull and boring girl go, why did she only know to anger him all day?
Ji Ying Li seemed to see someone knocking on the door, and his expression turned bad, "Alright, how are you so jealous? I won't tell you anymore, I seem to have something on my side, take care of yourself in New York City."
"Okay, wait for me. We'll get married when we get back." Lu Chen smiled.
"When are you coming back?"
"Two more days." Lu Chen's black eyes were filled with smiles. Actually, he had already booked a plane ticket for tomorrow, so he was prepared to give her a pleasant surprise.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen felt a little sleepy, so she closed his eyes and went to sleep. Just as he slept for a while, he was woken up by the sound of knocking coming from outside.
"What happened?"
Master Lu, I received the latest news from A City. I remember something happened at the construction site in Paris, the roof suddenly collapsed, and there were a few laborers below, some of them were severely injured, and two of them died on the spot.
Lu Chen's face turned cold. She remembered that Paris was a project that only started in the second half of the year in Lu, it was mainly for the development of high-end residential areas, the initial stages of the project had always been smooth, he never thought that such a thing would happen.
"Has anyone from the project department gone over?" Lu Chen said.
"The chairman can't be reached, someone directly reported it to Secretary Ji. Secretary Ji asked the Manager Sun from the project department to come with her." This was also why Song Zhi was so worried. He had worked together with Ji Ying Li for so long, so he knew about the relationship between her and Lu Chen. He also understood the condition of her body.
"Nonsense, how did that girl A Li manage to go to that kind of place? When did they go?" Lu Chen felt as if her heart was ruthlessly held down by a big hand, and she could barely breathe.
Initially, he had thought that the girl had a stern expression all the time because of her personality, but he found out later on that she had very severe asthma, and could not be agitated. After a long time, she developed that habit, so he would normally let Song Zhi follow her when she was on business or on errands.
"They left about an hour ago." Song Zhi said.
Lu Chen looked at the time. Coincidentally, he was there when she called, so she would definitely be at the construction site soon. After saying that, she started to frantically make calls to Ji Ying Li, but the tone was always busy.
Lu Chen looked at Song Zhi, and his voice started to tremble, "Call Manager Sun right now, tell him not to let A Li go to the construction site. No, immediately contact anyone that can be reached, don't let A Li go to the construction site." He remembered that he had studied asthma. Pollen and dust and the like had an effect on asthma, and his body would not be able to handle the dust from the construction site.
No one answered even when Song Zhi called. Lu Chen was extremely anxious.
The two of them booked a plane to return to immediately. Only after getting off the plane did Song Zhi receive a call from Manager Sun.
Before he could think much, he received another call from his mother, saying that hherbig brother Lu Ming had died in a car accident, his head buzzing loudly. He immediately rushed to the hospital, but on the way, she also received a call from Ji Ying Yu crying loudly, saying that his sister had suffered from asthma, and had been sent to the hospital.
The two hospitals were in completely different places. He struggled internally and didn't know where to go first.
"Master Lu, don't hesitate, the young master still has the chairman and the rest, go look for Secretary Ji first. She only has Ying Yu, what can she do." Song Zhi could not help but shout.
Lu Chen was stunned and immediately rushed to the hospital where Ji Ying Li was. Ji Ying Li was still in the operation room and his face was pale as he squatted in the corner.
