"That's your business."

Ou Li frowned displeased, hating Ma Tao's shameless face.

"It's raining so heavily. I don't know how long it will last. If I get sick from stranguria, how can I go to Lincheng to guide the work?"

Ma Tao persuaded Ou Li with work, "Mr. Gu only gave us five days, you don't want me to be sick and delay the work progress, right?"

"you……"

Ou Li glanced at the pouring rain outside the car window and knew that what Ma Tao said made sense.

She forgot to prepare an umbrella in the car, and there is no shelter from the rain nearby. Ma Tao will definitely be soaked in the rain when he gets off the car. In addition, there are few cars passing by here, so he may be stranded here.

She looked at the itinerary and saw that she would arrive in Lincheng in less than half an hour.

"Okay, I'll take you to Lincheng."

Ou Li reluctantly started the car and drove forward slowly. The rain was so heavy that the visibility was not good. Even though there were no cars on this road, she still drove carefully.

"Chou Li, you can go a little faster. At your speed, how long will it take to drive to Lincheng?"

Ma Tao was sitting in the back seat, feeling relaxed and at ease.

"You either shut up or get out of the car."

Ou Li coldly threw out a multiple-choice question, and Ma Tao had no choice but to shut up.

First, it was raining heavily and he didn't want to get out of the car. Second, he finally got into Ou Li's car. How could he get out of the car?

It was originally a half-hour journey, but Ou Li drove for nearly an hour.

The rain was so heavy that it pounded on the car glass. Even if the wipers wiped hard, she couldn't see the road clearly, and she couldn't drive fast at all.

The person in charge of the branch, Liu Ming, had been waiting at the door with an umbrella. When he saw Ou Li's car stopped, he immediately stepped forward with an umbrella and opened the door. "Thank you for your hard work, District Secretary."

Ou Li nodded towards Liu Ming, got out of the car and walked into the branch with him under the same umbrella.

Ma Tao was helpless, Ou Li ignored him, and Liu Ming obviously didn't expect that he was also in the car. The two of them just walked away holding an umbrella.

He took off his coat, put it over his head, got out of the car and rushed to the branch.

Liu Minggang turned around and saw Ma Tao in a panic, and was startled, "Assistant Ma, I thought you hadn't arrived yet, so I planned to bring the district secretary in first, and then go out to wait for you."

"No."

Ma Tao glanced at Ou Li and handed the wet coat to the girl at the front desk to deal with. He didn't say clearly that he came in her car to avoid her being unhappy.

Liu Ming didn't think much, hung the umbrella on the shelf, and led the two of them into the conference room.

"The senior management has arrived. Please meet with everyone for a small meeting first."

"good."

Ma Tao quickly got into work and spoke in an organized manner.

Ou Li was looking at some work records and found that there were many shortcomings. No wonder Gu Junzhe sent them both here.

After the meeting, it was already twelve o'clock. Liu Ming arranged lunch to entertain the two of them.

"Assistant Matt, District Secretary, you have worked really hard today. You were busy holding a meeting for us as soon as we got off the bus."

"Mr. Gu asked us to come here for work, not for vacation."

Ma Tao's words made Liu Ming a little embarrassed, "Yes, yes, after lunch, take a break, and continue to guide our work in the afternoon. The dormitory has been arranged, and there is a two-bedroom and one living room for you to live in."

"Okay, thanks."

Ma Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. Two bedrooms and one living room were good. He could live with Ou Li for another five days.

Ou Li frowned, but did not raise any objections to this arrangement, lest people in the branch think she was being pretentious.

She just came to work, not to mention that there were two rooms, so she and Ma Tao didn't interfere with each other.

After lunch, the three of them went to Liu Ming's office to start a new round of small meetings.

Ou Li focused on the problems she found and asked Liu Ming to answer them. Ma Tao found out the directions for improvement from Liu Ming's answers.

The three people worked together to come up with a solution to the problem they discovered.

"District Secretary, Assistant Ma, you two are indeed Mr. Gu's right-hand men. You have only been here for a long time, but you have already discovered many problems and proposed solutions."

Liu Ming smiled and said, "Actually, I have also found problems in the business process, but I can't identify them in a targeted manner like you."

"We will stay here for five days. After the resources are optimized and integrated, you can just operate as usual."

Ma Tao glanced at the time and said, "There is still an hour before get off work ends. You can call the senior management together again and discuss the plan we just made with everyone. This time you say it, and the district secretary and I are just listening."

"good."

Liu Ming walked out of the office and went to arrange work.

"Chou Li, you are actually very thoughtful. But why don't you always remember to lock the car door?"

Ma Tao raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Li. She glared at him coldly and replied, "My car is either parked at the company or at the apartment. The security measures are very strict. Does it matter whether I lock the car door or not?"

?”

"But you didn't lock the door when you were in the service area, so you're not afraid of bad guys getting into your car?"

Ma Tao caught Chu Li's loophole, and her face suddenly became a little embarrassed, "I'm in a hurry to go to the bathroom."

"Chou Li, you need a man to take care of you. If you don't mind, let's remarry and continue living together."

Ma Tao boldly held Chu Li's hand, but she threw it away angrily, "Take care of me? How can you say such a shameless thing? How many times did you take care of me from the time we fell in love to the time we got married?"

"I……"

Ma Tao was at a loss for words. Looking back on the past, it seemed that he was more just accommodating Ou Li, not taking the initiative to take care of her.

"Ma Tao, you are not looking for a wife, you just want to find someone who can take care of you."

Chu Li shook her head, "We have been together for so many years, and I have finally seen it clearly."

"I will change it."

Ma Tao looked very serious, "Can you give me another chance? I promise it will be different from the past."

“Can a dog change to eating shit?”

Ou Li looked at Ma Tao with a mocking look on her face, "No. So you can change? Only the devil believes you."

Ma Tao was anxious, "I swear I will change."

"You dare to swear poison?"

Ou Li smiled slightly, "If you can't change, you will choke to death even if you drink water, or be struck to death by lightning when you go out?"

"I...if I swear a poisonous oath, will you give me another chance?"

Ma Tao seemed to be grasping a glimmer of hope, his eyes lit up.

"Won't."

Chu Li's answer was like a basin of cold water poured over Ma Tao's head, making his face look very disappointed.

That means there is nothing to talk about.

Who is to blame?

It's his fault that he didn't cherish what he had when he had it. Now that he's lost it, no matter how hard he tries to please Chu Li, she doesn't need it anymore.

When Liu Ming returned to the office again, he noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, and asked tentatively, "If you two have any opinions, you might as well point them out in front of me, and I will seriously rectify them."

"It has nothing to do with you."
