Yao Yuanjing called to see if his injuries were serious. Ji Naitang said a few things and hung up. Although Cen Muqi had to go to the company during the day, there was a housekeeper still here. He was afraid that he would be overheard.

After he hung up the phone, he looked at his texts. Although he put Yao Yuanjing under the name “Yaojing” and only a few good friends knew about this nickname, Ji Naitang was still worried that Cen Muqi would hear about it and suspect something when he saw his phone.

Yao Yuanjing was his “former backer” after all. It wouldn’t look good if they were in frequent contact. So, Ji Naitang thought about it and changed Yao Yuanjing’s name to “Chunhua.”

Chunhua was a housekeeper for his maternal grandfather. His maternal grandfather’s condition was getting worse. As a grandson, he should often call his grandfather to ask after his well-being. But why didn’t he call his grandfather directly? Of course that was because he and his grandfather’s relationship was bad. This was well-known.

Of course, he wouldn’t even call the housekeeper.

But he wasn’t afraid that Cen Muqi would see the number. After all, only he knew about this number that he used to communicate with Yao Yuanjing. He used a different number to contact other people.

“Young Master Ji, lunch is ready. Do you want me to bring it up to you?”

Cen Muqi’s housekeeper was called Aunt Su. She was a woman in her forties. Ji Naitang smile sweetly at her. “Thank you, Aunt Su ~ ”

Aunt Su was distressed. He was such a good child, but he was beaten up like this. She didn’t know which heartless and wicked people were so ruthless.

The “heartless and wicked people” lying in the hospital couldn’t help but sneeze a few times. That aggravated their injuries and they inhaled sharply from the pain. Could that CEO Cen be any more ruthless?!

When Cen Muqi came back in the evening, Ji Naitang had just hung up with the head of marketing in Cen Corporation.

“Who were you on the phone with?”

Cen Muqi walked into the guest room and sat down by the bed. Ji Naitang replied truthfully, “Your Cen Corporation’s Director Yang. He told me that Cen Corporation decided to cooperate with Fengqi on the resort project.”

It was such a quick decision that it must be Cen Muqi’s instructions. Cen Muqi took Ji Naitang away from Yao Yuanjing, so he had to express his opinion. He wasn’t surprised to hear this, but he was a little curious. “You didn’t resign?”

Ji Naitang had fallen out with Yao Yuanjing. Reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t continue working at Fengqi.

“I’m responsible for this project. I spent a lot of time on the proposals and such. Even if I resign, I should wait until the project is finished. Fortunately, Director Yang didn’t fire me.”

“You’re serious.”

Cen Muqi didn’t look like he opposed it. Ji Naitang secretly released a sigh of relief. Cen Muqi then asked, “How do you feel today? Do you still have a fever?”

Ji Naitang pursed his lips and said, “I don’t know if I have a fever. Why don’t you check?”

Cen Muqi chuckled. “Are you trying to seduce me?”

“I’m not. But if you want me to, I can do it……”

“You’re this injured. Do you think I’m an animal? Don’t worry and recuperate. As for those things, I will ask for double when you get better.”

Ji Naitang turned red. Cen Muqi reached out to feel Ji Naitang’s forehead. His fever had receded. He also looked more spirited than last night. He would probably be fine after resting for a while.

“Although you’re in charge of the project, you should take a leave for two months.”

“Two months?” Ji Naitang was a bit surprised. “I can’t take such a long leave. I took a week off.”

“How can a week be enough? I’ll make the call for you……”

“CEO Cen, I think a week is enough. Besides, I don’t need to move around in my job. I can sit and work. If a week isn’t enough, I will apply for a few more days.”

Ji Naitang insisted, so Cen Muqi didn’t say anymore. They chatted for a while. Then Aunt Su came upstairs to report that Cen Xi was here. Cen Muqi looked subconsciously at Ji Naitang. Ji Naitang looked calm and had no reaction.
