As the An Corporation's business flourished, An Yiruo and her mother were driven out of their home by the woman who usurped her mother's position.
Later, she was drugged and calculate...
An Yiruo threw the coffee and cake into the trash can, but this action was seen by a boy not far from her. The boy clenched his fists, but did not make a sound.
"She must be afraid to eat because she doesn't know who sent it to her. That must be it," the boy muttered to himself as he sat in his seat.
Every day after that, An Yiruo's desk was filled with all sorts of exquisite breakfast items, but still no one left any messages.
“Yuanyuan, look,” An Yiruo said, pointing to the breakfast on her workstation.
"Yi Ruo, could it be... that he really is your suitor? Are you secretly dating someone behind your CEO's back?!" Zhang Yuanyuan couldn't help but have this thought as she looked at the different breakfasts on An Yi Ruo's table every day.
After all, this is the kind of thing that young people who have just started dating would do!
"What nonsense are you spouting? If Mo Jingchen finds out, he might dock your pay!"
Upon hearing about the pay cut, Zhang Yuanyuan immediately made a shushing gesture. But she couldn't help but speak again: "But I'm really curious, who's so diligent as to buy you breakfast every day!"
“Not only do you want to know, but I want to know too! Never mind, let’s get back to work!” An Yiruo said with a hint of helplessness.
Little did anyone know, the boy not far away had been staring at An Yiruo from the moment he sat down! His gaze was as if he considered An Yiruo his own!
"An'an, would you like to have lunch in my office?"
"I made plans to have lunch with Yuanyuan at the cafeteria," An Yiruo said, declining Mo Jingchen's lunch invitation.
"Is the cafeteria food really that good?" Mo Jingchen muttered to himself as he sat down, then made an internal call: "Come in for a moment."
"President, you wanted to see me."
"You and I will go to the cafeteria together at noon today."
Upon hearing Mo Jingchen's words, Assistant Zhou instinctively assumed that he was going to inspect the work: "Is the president going to inspect the cafeteria? Should I notify them in advance to prepare?"
"It's not an inspection tour, it's a lunch break!"
"Eat...eat?" Assistant Zhou looked at Mo Jingchen in shock. The CEO in front of him had never eaten in the cafeteria himself before.
"Yes, any questions?"
"No...no."
It's highly unusual for the CEO to eat in the cafeteria himself. The only explanation is that the CEO's wife is also eating in the cafeteria today!
"The CEO and his wife's secret affair must be so tough," Assistant Zhou muttered to himself as he left Mo Jingchen's office and stood outside the door.
"Hello, Assistant Zhou," the passing secretary greeted Assistant Zhou.
Assistant Zhou cleared his throat, nodded to the person who came, and returned to his workstation.
At 11:30, during the company's lunch break, everyone flocked to the cafeteria to fill their stomachs.
What's different today is that the CEO suddenly appeared in the staff cafeteria!
"Look, isn't that the CEO? He's so handsome."
"Stop daydreaming and hurry up and think about what to eat for lunch today. If you go too late, it'll be sold out."
"Let me be a fangirl for three seconds."
…………
The entire cafeteria was filled with whispers, but without exception, everyone was talking about Mo Jingchen.
"Yi Ruo, Yi Ruo, your CEO!" Zhang Yuanyuan glanced at Mo Jingchen while getting her food.
An Yiruo turned around and saw that familiar figure. She wondered why he wasn't comfortably resting and eating in the president's office, but instead came to the staff canteen.
Mo Jingchen felt An Yiruo's gaze, lifted his leg, and walked towards An Yiruo with a smile.
"Yuanyuan, let's go quickly." An Yiru lowered her head, picked up the plate in her hand, and quickly walked to a corner.
"Yi Ruo, I haven't made my choice yet... Ah," Zhang Yuanyuan said, looking at her empty plate, reluctant to leave.
"Yuanyuan, I'll treat you to something delicious another day. Let's go!" An Yiruo pulled Zhang Yuanyuan and ran towards a corner of the cafeteria.
“Yi Ruo, your relationship with the president is perfectly legitimate and aboveboard. There’s no need to be so secretive,” Zhang Yuanyuan said to An Yi Ruo after sitting down.
"I just haven't figured out how to make it public yet. Thank you for your hard work today, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Hmm, I'm fine. But... your CEO is walking in your direction." Zhang Yuanyuan, with an expression that suggested she was enjoying the drama, pointed to the area behind An Yiruo.
"No way," An Yiruo thought, not daring to look back at that moment.
"It's true."
"Beautiful lady, is this place taken?" It wasn't until Mo Jingchen's voice rang above An Yiruo's head that An Yiruo realized that it was indeed Mo Jingchen who had arrived.
"Unfortunately, I was having lunch with my colleague."
"It's alright. Assistant Zhou, go get the food." Mo Jingchen sat down directly next to An Yiruo, which caused a stir among those around them.
"What are you doing? This is the company!" An Yiruo said to Mo Jingchen in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Since you refuse to go upstairs to eat, I have no choice but to eat with you in the cafeteria."
"But many people saw it; you were sitting next to me."
"What's there to be afraid of? They'll find out sooner or later. Besides, my wife and I are sitting together, so even if they have complaints, they'll just have to put up with it!"
"President, the food is ready." Assistant Zhou brought over two meals, handing one to An Yiruo and the other to Mo Jingchen.
Mo Jingchen had witnessed An Yiruo's hasty retreat. He had originally intended to give his portion to An Yiruo, but Assistant Zhou, being thoughtful, brought over an extra portion.
"An'an, eat more," Mo Jingchen said gently to An Yiruo.
The sudden appearance of Mo Jingchen sitting next to An Yiruo amplified the surrounding chatter: "Who is that woman? Why is the CEO sitting next to her?"
"I don't recognize her, she seems to be a newcomer. But she looks quite good-looking."
"So what if she's pretty? The CEO is just playing around with her. His other half will definitely be a wealthy heiress of equal social standing!"
"But that woman is lucky to have won the CEO's favor! I wish I were that lucky!"
"What are you thinking! Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror..."
"What's wrong with thinking about it? It's not like you're breaking the law!"
…………
After lunch today, all the employees in the company wanted to know which department the female employee who had lunch with Mo Jingchen was from and what her name was.
With everyone working together, the threshold of the operations department is almost worn down!
