The pushover offended a top-tier boss

I ate lunch at the school cafeteria. It was all large-pot dishes; the presentation wasn't great, but the taste was excellent. I wonder if it was because a leader was visiting.

Ye Zhenzhen sat in the corner with her tray, eating with relish. She was indeed hungry after running along the mountain path for half a day.

Zhou Huaijin sat opposite her, with the exact same dishes in front of him. He ate at a leisurely pace, picking up food, chewing, and swallowing, every movement revealing a refined upbringing ingrained in his very being.

"Take stock of what you just said and write a report for me when you get back."

"Okay." Ye Zhenzhen quickly put down her chopsticks and took out her notebook to write it down.

"Focus on the education and support of left-behind children, as well as the salaries and living conditions of rural teachers." He paused, then added, "The data must be accurate, and the recommendations must be specific, avoiding empty rhetoric."

"clear."

He nodded and picked up his chopsticks again.

After the meal, the village secretary took them for a walk around the village.

There is a river next to the village, which freezes over with thick ice in winter. On the other side of the river is a wide open plain. The villagers have made the most of the land and built a small ice and snow park.

"Secretary Zhou, this is a collective economic project that our village started on its own," the village secretary introduced, with a hint of pride in his voice. "It just started this year, and the results are quite good, increasing the village's income considerably."

Zhou Huaijin stood by the river and looked around, then nodded: "Good, it's good to adapt to local conditions and make the most of our resources. But safety measures must be in place. Ice and snow sports are risky, so protective facilities and emergency plans must be in place."

"Yes, yes, definitely, definitely." The village secretary nodded repeatedly.

"Everyone can go and try it out," the village secretary warmly invited. "It's a lot of fun."

Zhou Huaijin and Lin Rui stood by the river, chatting with several officials about the village's industrial development plan. Ye Zhenzhen and Chen Zheng exchanged a glance.

The two of them had been itching to get intimate for a long time.

"Let's go!" Chen Zheng grabbed her and ran into the snow.

The two first rode snow tubes, sliding down the high slope. The wind whistled past their ears, and snowflakes splashed all over their faces. Ye Zhenzhen screamed with her eyes closed in fright, while Chen Zheng laughed heartily beside her.

After skating a few times, I saw some bumper balls nearby.

The two people were covered with large inflatable bouncy balls, leaving only their legs and heads exposed, looking like two round penguins. They wobbled precariously on the ice, barely able to stand.

"Come on!" Chen Zheng launched the first attack, charging over like a bull and crashing headfirst into Ye Zhenzhen's ball.

She was thrown two meters by the impact.

"Ouch! Be gentle!"

She regained her footing and retaliated against him.

But her strength was like a tickle to Chen Zheng. He didn't budge, and she was bounced away again.

"Ye Zhenzhen, prepare to die, hahaha!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zheng rushed over and chased after her, causing her to spin around in the middle of the field.

Ye Zhenzhen was knocked off balance by his impact, rolling around on the ice. She was furious and kept yelling, but the more anxious she became, the less she could stand. Her legs kicked wildly inside the ball, and she rolled around on the ground.

"Do you submit? Hahaha!" Chen Zheng was overjoyed.

Ye Zhenzhen howled.

Until I heard a sound.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Zheng screamed and was kicked a long way away.

Ye Zhenzhen lay on the snow, and the next second, a face appeared in front of her.

The two rows of white teeth that were grinning instantly disappeared.

Oh my god...

But I was lying inside the ball like a turtle whose shell had been flipped over, my legs kicking wildly in the air, unable to get up no matter what I did.

Zhou Huaijin bent down, reached out, and pulled her out of the ball.

But the boots she was wearing today weren't very slip-resistant, making it difficult for her to stand steadily on the ice.

In her nervousness, she fell down again.

Well, now even the leader has been tackled.

The situation is very awkward.

She was lying on top of the leader, with her face directly facing his lower abdomen...

Good heavens, what did she see that she shouldn't have seen...?

Even though it's through my pants, it's still...too obvious...

"Hey! Sister Ye, what's up? Trying to force a kiss on the boss?"

Chen Zheng's loud voice rang out, adding to the chaos.

Her face flushed red instantly.

He scrambled to his feet in a panic.

She staggered to her feet, her hair disheveled, her face covered in a thin layer of sweat, and flushed slightly.

"I'm...I'm sorry, boss..."

Damn it, she must have said sorry countless times today...

Zhou Huaijin stood up from the ice.

"Ye Zhenzhen".

He called her name.

She looked up and met his unfathomable gaze.

"Pay attention to your image."

His voice wasn't loud, and his tone wasn't particularly stern, but it still made her feel inexplicably guilty.

"Oh..." She lowered her head, wiped the sweat from her face with the back of her hand, and tucked her loose hair behind her ear.

"I'll go check the river over there."

She muttered something under her breath, then turned and walked towards the river.

There was a river across from the amusement park, frozen over with a thick layer of ice, and many people were playing on it. She wanted to go check the ice and, while she was at it,... hide somewhere.

She always felt that the way he looked at her made her feel a little suffocated.

-

Zhou Huaijin was standing on the riverbank, listening to the village secretary introduce the next steps in the ice and snow park's development plan.

Suddenly, a shout came:

"A child has fallen into an ice hole! Help!"

The sound came from the direction of the center of the river.

Zhou Huaijin's expression changed instantly. He turned around abruptly and strode towards the riverbank.

Before I even reached the riverbank, I heard someone shout again, "Oh my god! That girl jumped in!"

His heart sank, and an ominous premonition rose within him.

I quickened my pace and ran quickly towards the river.

A crowd had gathered on the ice; some were shouting, some were making phone calls, and some were trying to reach across with tree branches.

Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw a white cotton coat on the ice.

His heart clenched painfully.

"Ye Zhenzhen!"

Ye Zhenzhen was half submerged in the water, her hand tightly gripping the child's hand, pulling the child back with all her might.

People on the shore rushed to help.

When the child was brought up, his lips were already purple from the cold, and he was shivering all over, but he was still conscious. Several people hurriedly wrapped him in a cotton-padded coat and ran to the hospital.

Exhausted, she sank to the bottom.

"Ye Zhenzhen!"

Zhou Huaijin pushed through the crowd and rushed over.

At the critical moment, Lin Rui grabbed him tightly: "Boss, please calm down, you can't go!"

His safety was of utmost importance, and as his secretary, I had to stop it.

"open."

"Big brother, I'm going to save her!"

Chen Zheng, who rushed over, ran to the edge of the ice hole, threw his coat on the ground, and jumped in.

Fortunately, he was tall, over 1.8 meters, so the water only reached his neck. The icy water made him gasp, but he didn't care and reached out to grab Ye Zhenzhen's arm.

"Sister Ye, don't panic, I'm here!"

He gritted his teeth and lifted the person up. Zhou Huaijin and Lin Rui lay on the ice, grabbed Chen Zheng's wrists, and together they pulled Chen Zheng and Ye Zhenzhen onto the ice.

When Ye Zhenzhen was dragged up, she was already unresponsive. She lay motionless on the ice, her face devoid of color, her eyes tightly closed.

"Ye Zhenzhen." Zhou Huaijin squatted down and called her name.

No response.

He reached out to check her breath; she was still breathing.

"Get out of the way." He pushed aside the people around him, knelt down beside her, and began to perform CPR.

Once, twice, three times.

Some water gushed from Ye Zhenzhen's mouth, but she still didn't react.

Zhou Huaijin leaned down, pinched her nose, lifted her chin, took a deep breath, and then covered her lips with his.

Her lips were icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

He breathed a sigh of relief for her.

Raise your head and press again.

"Ye Zhenzhen." Zhou Huaijin felt a little panicked, his voice hoarse, "Wake up."

No response.

He gritted his teeth and continued pressing.

After another set of pressure was finished, he bent down again.

Just as his lips were about to touch hers, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly twitched.

Her eyelashes trembled.

Then, she opened her eyes.

Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, her pupils were somewhat unfocused, and slowly, they focused on his face.

She stared at him for several seconds, as if trying to identify who he was.

His lips twitched, and he whispered, "Boss... I was wrong again..."

A cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd.

"She's awake! She's awake!"

"God help me!"

"Girl, you're lucky to be alive!"

Zhou Huaijin knelt beside her, his hands supporting his head on either side, his chest heaving violently.

Despite the biting cold of winter, he was covered in sweat.

He looked down at her face, at her pathetic state of being half-dead yet still trying to apologize, and said nothing more.

He bent down and lifted her up in his arms.

"Quick, to the hospital."
