Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...
In the blink of an eye, the National Day holiday is over.
According to the plan, Chu's mother was supposed to board a plane and return to her hometown, but because of her sprained ankle, she had to stay in Shanghai for a while longer.
Chu asked Zhong Tingyue for leave to take care of his mother, and Zhong Tingyue naturally agreed.
He originally planned to leave and take his mother out to play more, but to his surprise, Chu's mother suggested that she wanted to visit Zhong Tingyue's studio to see her younger sister's achievements.
"That might not be a good idea." Chu Fang scratched his face, looking hesitant. "Why don't you come to my company and take a look?"
“No, what’s there to see at your company?” Chu’s mother shook her head.
“I have to go to my own company tomorrow, and there’ll be no one to take care of you.” He rolled his eyes.
"It's alright, my little sister can take care of it."
“... ..."
After a long discussion and planning between Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue, it was finally decided that Zhong Tingyue would take her mother to visit the Moon House studio. In order to keep their relationship a secret, Chu Fang would not go to the studio for the time being.
Furthermore, Zhong Tingyue also told the studio staff that when Chu's mother came, they should not mention Chu Fang, as if there was no such employee.
Having considered everything, the two looked at each other, and Chu Fang said, "This is the only way."
He originally wanted to refuse his mother, but he suddenly recalled the last time he refused, which alerted his mother. In order not to alert her, he had to be much more cautious this time.
In the early morning, the sun slowly rises and shines warmly on people.
Chu Fang woke up early in the morning, made breakfast, helped his mother get up and wash, and went next door to call Zhong Tingyue to have dinner together.
After the three finished eating, they left home together and arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
Chu's mother looked at Chu Fang at a 45-degree angle: "Alright, sweetie, we're leaving now. Mommy loves you."
"Auntie... I'm so sorry to trouble you." Even now, Chu Fang found it particularly difficult to address her.
Zhong Tingyue's delicate face was adorned with a bright smile, her eyes radiating light: "My dear nephew, I will take good care of my elder sister."
“... ..."
Watching Zhong Tingyue push her mother away, Chu Fang's lips twitched, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Kid, you've been exposed. You young people these days are really something, hiding your relationships from your parents like thieves."
Chu Fang heard the familiar voice of the security guard in the Tanhua residential area. He patted the guard on the shoulder and said, "Sir, smoke less."
"If I don't smoke, what am I supposed to do?"
Smoking = playing.
A long-time smoker's understanding!
“... ..."
Chu Fang chatted with the security guard for a while, then drove away from the community.
Today is the first day after the National Day holiday, and the whole city is filled with a gloomy atmosphere because what follows is a seven-day work week with no end in sight.
Damn this time off schedule!
After driving for half an hour, we arrived at Shanghai's famous financial district, where land is incredibly valuable and the working class are all dressed in suits and ties, elite individuals.
In comparison, Chu Fang's casual pants and t-shirt looked a bit sloppy.
But he didn't care. He was here to visit his own company, not to work, so why bother dressing so formally?
While Zhong Tingyue was taking care of her mother, and he happened to have nothing to do, he went to visit Fangzheng Investment Co., Ltd.
Since its inception, he has never been to the company, except for having a meal with a few of the company's managers once.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well find some fun for myself.
Upon reaching the company building, Chu Fang paused for a moment, then took out his phone, opened a file, and carefully examined the company's floor plan.
"My god, 34 floors, that's pretty high." Chu Fang muttered softly.
To be honest, he wasn't completely ignorant about Founder Investment Co., Ltd., but he was certainly clueless about everything.
Aside from reviewing the security risk assessment reports provided by external monitoring agencies, he rarely paid attention to the company and was even too lazy to open the company documents sent to him by Kangbo, leaving them all piled up in his email.
As soon as you step out of the elevator, you can see the company sign with four large characters: Founder Investment.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The receptionist, who seemed to be busy with her work, put down her work and immediately stood up upon seeing Chu Fang, greeting him softly.
The receptionist was a young woman, probably a recent college graduate, with a hint of naivety and shyness on her face.
“Hmm… I’m looking for Kang Bo,” Chu Fang replied.
This was his first time visiting the company.
"Kang Bo?" The young woman frowned slightly, seemingly wondering if there was such a colleague in the company. After a moment, she remembered: "You're looking for General Manager Kang, right?"
"right."
"Oh, Mr. Kang has seen the client downstairs and should be coming up soon," the young woman replied, glancing at Chu Fang and whispering, "Why don't you go to the conference room and wait for him?"
"It's alright, I'll wait for him here." Hearing this, Chu Fang didn't say anything more and sat down in the front desk lounge area.
The young girl nodded and returned to her seat to work, but after typing a few words, she stood up again, took a disposable paper cup, poured a cup of hot water, and placed it in front of Chu Fang: "Have some water."
"Thanks."
"It's nothing, it's nothing," the little girl waved her hand.
Chu Fang looked around Fangzheng Investment Co., Ltd. It was not much different from an ordinary company overall. The decoration was cold and sparse, everyone was looking at their computers, and the employees were busy.
Perhaps because it is an investment company, the overall atmosphere of the company is rather serious.
"Panpan, print this document for me, I need it urgently later," an employee said, tapping on the young female receptionist's desk.
"But I'm typing in Sister Na's file," the young girl replied shyly, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
"Printing the document will only take a few minutes; I trust your abilities."
After saying that, he ignored the girl's reaction, put the documents on the table, and left.
"oh."
The little girl responded softly, then picked up the document and ran to the printing room at lightning speed, taking advantage of the break between printing.
Back at the front desk, I quickly typed in some text, checked the time, and then rushed to the printing room. I organized the printed documents, placed them on the desk of the employee I had just met, and returned to work at the front desk.
A woman in a black suit, pencil skirt, and high heels walked in, tapped on the young woman's desk, and without waiting for a response, walked straight into the company, saying as she went:
"Panpan, pour me a cup of coffee, no milk and no sugar."
The girl in high heels seemed completely oblivious to the little girl's refusal, and the little girl, Panpan, hurriedly ran towards the tea room.
Upon seeing this, Chu Fang frowned, his brows forming a huge "川" (river) character.
A moment later, the young woman, Panpan, poured the coffee, walked to the front desk, and slowly exhaled, the sound of her breath particularly noticeable. Noticing Chu Fang's gaze, her face flushed, as if she felt that Chu Fang was getting a little impatient. She said softly, "I'm sorry, President Kang should be up soon. I'll call him."
"I'm not in a hurry," Chu Fang shook his head.
