Chapter 122 Special Assistant

When she subconsciously looked up again, she was shocked to see that Zhou Liangqi had not left. He was standing under the street light, leaning against the railing and lighting a cigarette. Standing in the snow, he looked very cold and lonely.

Her scalp tingled, and she whispered to Xiao Chen, "I'm going out for a while. Something's going on."

When she pushed open the door of the hot pot restaurant, the cold air hit her in the face. She walked straight towards Zhou Liangqi. When she got closer, she found that the woman had not left. She was still standing not far away, looking at them angrily with a worldly air.

Jian Mo looked incredulous, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Liangqi bit his cigarette and smiled, "You knew I was waiting for you, so you came out so soon."

Jian Mo really couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned sideways to block most of his face, "Don't bother with me, what are you doing here?"

She was not so narcissistic as to think that Zhou Liangqi was following her, so she set her sights on the woman.

Zhou Liangqi introduced her generously: "Lillian, my assistant."

Jian Mo seemed to understand, "Boss Zhou's assistant is quite special."

He wasn't angry, and when he curled his lips he was very charming. "Not everyone is as dull as Huo Qichen. Working is already boring, so why bother with someone even more boring?"

Jian Mo clasped her hands together, a little coldly, "Then if you have nothing else, I'll leave. The company is having a dinner."

"Jian Mo." Zhou Liangqi called her, "Let's go for a walk together."

Jian Mo was surprised, but after looking around the hot pot restaurant, she had no interest in going back. The woman who had just been standing aside had left at some point, and she was quite good at reading people's expressions.

"...Just a twenty-minute walk."

The road was slippery and difficult to walk on, so the originally short journey took a long time.

Zhou Liangqi seemed to have drunk some wine, and he told her Lillian's origins.

The first time I met Lillian was in a bar. The girl had beautiful smoky makeup on and was playing dice in a booth. If she won, all the drinks were free. Her voice was as thin as a nightingale. She looked like a college student who had not yet graduated. When she won, she screamed and drank the liquor in her hand without blinking.

That day, Zhou Liangqi appeared in the bar for business, and Lillian caught his eye.

There are many women around him, all with different means, but she is like a wildly growing flower, as if this should be the lifestyle of modern young girls.

When the beautiful girl looked up, she saw Zhou Liangqi staring at her. She smiled brightly, raised her glass and raised her chin towards him.

What happened next happened the next morning.

Zhou Liangqi woke up in the rental house rented by Lillian. Both of them were dressed. In fact, he was just drunk and stayed at her house for one night. Nothing happened.

Lillian almost rolled under the bed while holding the quilt. She woke up without makeup and looked at the ceiling for a moment. Her lips were pale and there were freckles on the tip of her nose. When she saw a man next to her, she realized what was happening. She jumped up, grabbed her hair and rushed to the bathroom. "Wait a minute, I'll wash your hair and then take you out to eat."

Not knowing his identity, he spoke very freely, which made Zhou Liangqi feel comfortable.

"You live here."

"Yes, if you look from the window, the school across the street is my school."

"Hey, technical school?"

"I look down on technical schools."

"No."

Finally, Lillian really took him downstairs with wet hair, wearing slippers, holding soy milk in one hand and buns in the other. She looked back under the electric pole, looking both depressed and energetic.

Of course, when the assistant drove to pick Zhou Liangqi up to go to the company not long after, the girl's energy instantly turned into restraint. "You are... the big boss?"

Zhou Liangqi found her shocked expression amusing. He ate the last bite of the bun in his hand and then handed her a business card: "If you are interested, you can come to my company to apply."

I have seen too much hypocrisy and feel that truth is rare.

Later, Lillian really came to apply for the job, and he really hired her and kept her by his side.

After hearing this, Jian Mo was a little surprised and said sarcastically, "Boss Zhou is really kind to women. No wonder Boss Huo said you are a master in romance."

"Compared to these people, I prefer the tenacity in you." Zhou Liangqi said with a twist of his eyebrows, full of charm.

Jian Mo couldn't bear it and didn't dare to look into his peach blossom eyes. "Mr. Zhou, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman. It would be better if you don't flatter me."

Zhou Liangqi looked at her and said, "Indeed, she is ordinary."

You're really not polite. Jian Mo choked.

"But I do like you, Jian Mo. The first few times I asked Huo Qichen for you, it wasn't just a test."

These words made Jian Mo very alert. Before she could say anything, a loud horn suddenly sounded from behind. Zhou Liangqi reacted quickly and shouted, "Be careful!" and then pulled her aside.

The road was slippery due to the snow, and both of them rolled to the ground, covered in snow. An out-of-control car crashed into the railing, got stuck, and was smoking.

Jian Mo was terrified and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Zhou Liangqi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw she was alright, and fell to the ground in the snow. "Luckily, you reacted quickly. If you had died in my hands, Huo Qichen would have killed me."

Smoke billowed in front of her. Jian Mo closed her eyes tightly and said, "Thank you for saving my life. I will remember it."

Zhou Liangqi smiled and looked up at the sky. "Agree to whatever I ask you to do."

This man really looked like a reckless second-generation rich kid. Jian Mo poked his chest viciously and said, "Don't do anything that goes against your principles!"

Zhou Liangqi felt pained, "Then I'll owe you the money for now. I'll ask you for it when the time comes."

Jian Mo regretted it very much. She just wanted to take a walk, but ended up owing a favor for no apparent reason.

The firefighters and police arrived quickly, and Zhou Liangqi immediately pulled her away from the scene. "It's going to be troublesome to question her, and I don't want to waste time."

It was a windy night and there were few people on the road. He just held Jian Mo's hand and ran towards the end of the street, his heart beating wildly.

Jian Mo was forced to follow behind him and could only see his silhouette, panting, and suddenly felt as if she had returned to her youth.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Liangqi finally stopped and let go of her hand: "How are you going back?"

"The driver is waiting for me." Jian Mo lowered his head and walked quickly towards the vehicle, then turned back halfway. "Zhou Liangqi."

He listened attentively.

"You are not allowed to hype what happened today, and you are not allowed to use me." She was really worried about causing trouble for Huo Qi Chen.

Zhou Liangqi's smiling eyes dimmed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you so worried about Huo Qichen? Don't worry, I'm not him. I'm not that mean."

"You're the mean one." Jian Mo retorted softly, then quickly ran to the driver who was waiting for him. He asked, "Did the dinner take so long, ma'am? My husband called to ask if you've arrived home."

Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat. "Then what do you say?"

"Just as you said, we're here."
