Chapter 1091: Don’t He Feel Guilty?

Without the big boss, the Research and Development Center made no progress at all. The engine development project, which was his responsibility, had reached a bottleneck. Everyone was waiting for his return. If he didn’t return soon, the two elders in charge would have to go to the northwest to find him personally.

Zhou Hengyang had just returned from a business trip in Clearwater County and was invited tonight. As he arrived, he was about to call Ji Fang.

“Where’s your department director? Why isn’t he here?” Zhou Hengyang asked curiously.

Ji Fang stammered, “The Deputy Director… the second boss has something on and can’t come.” He was terrified of lying to the big boss, knowing the truth would be revealed eventually and the Deputy Director would have to face the consequences. Ji Fang felt like an innocent bystander caught in the middle.

Ji Fang spent more than twelve hours a day with Zhou Hengguang, and after the banquet incident, he could guess what kind of “good deed” his department director had done. Ever since he found out, Ji Fang felt guilty for protecting a criminal. He had a deeper understanding of his Deputy Director’s sinister nature, cursing him in his heart for being so shameless as to use an alias to deceive a young lady.

This was too much. How could he do such a thing? The girl had been so good to him, giving him food and gifts. Didn’t he feel guilty?

Ji Fang felt both guilty and embarrassed for the department director. Unfortunately, he could only do so much because he was a victim too, oppressed by the Deputy Director and unable to resist.

He wanted to cry. The Deputy Director was afraid things would go wrong, so he couldn’t come to the Su family for dinner. Ji Fang, forced to come in his place, already had a feeling that he would be doomed the day the Deputy Director’s schemes were exposed.

Zhou Hengyang frowned. “Is he that busy?”

“The Deputy Director is very busy,” Ji Fang replied, bracing himself. “There are a lot of things to do at the design institute. The dean is angry at the Deputy Director for his absence. We have a difficult bridge to build next year, and the Deputy Director is the chief engineer. Recently, he’s been working with a geological expert and a professor of water engineering…”

Ji Fang wanted to say more, but Zhou Hengyang raised his hand to interrupt him.

“Alright, I got it. If he doesn’t come, you can stay for dinner.” Zhou Hengyang’s deep eyes narrowed dangerously. He sensed something was off. It seemed like the boss hadn’t been to his house in a long time. He used to come often during the renovation, but since Zhou Hengyang officially moved in, he never showed up.

There were many guests in the house, and as the hostess, Su Wen had to come out and greet them. Zhou Hengyang introduced everyone to each other.

Everyone was hungry and started eating quickly. The dining room in their new home was very spacious. The round dining table could accommodate more than ten people, and there was a small bar beside it where Little Sister and Sixth Sister leaned, eating from their small bowls.

At the large dining table, Su Wen, Su Xiu, and Su Qing were busy placing dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the food.

The two old engineers stopped discussing problems with Zhou Hengyang and smiled kindly, nodding at him. They were thinking that the big boss was a decent person, polite and thoughtful, with a happy family. The second and third bosses couldn’t catch up to him even if they tried their best.
