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 found a recently popular TV series, and after clicking to play it, Mo Jingchen held the phone while An Yiruo leaned against him to watch the show.
After watching one episode, An Yiruo felt unsatisfied and wanted to watch a second episode, but Mo Jingchen stopped her.
"Mr. Mo, I want to watch a little longer. If you're sleepy, you should go to sleep first," An Yiruo said, reaching for her phone to continue watching the show.
"No, it's already late. We can continue watching tomorrow." Mo Jingchen pulled An Yiruo into his arms, preventing her from continuing to watch the show, since staying up late was bad for her health.
“But… I want to watch a little longer.” After An Yiruo finished speaking, she saw that Mo Jingchen did not respond to her and continued to hold her, preventing her from taking the phone.
"Otherwise, I'll just watch one episode? Half an episode? Ten minutes?" An Yiruo was itching to see what would happen next and was testing Mo Jingchen's attitude.
"Since Miss An has so much energy, why don't we do some other exercise?" Mo Jingchen said, just to tease her.
"No, no, I'm sleepy. Goodnight, Mr. Mo." After saying that, An Yiruo closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Well, since you're sleepy, you should go to bed early."
An Yiruo didn't sense Mo Jingchen's next move before realizing that she had been tricked by him.
I can't watch TV tonight. Since I can't watch it anyway, and lying here is boring, I might as well go to sleep.
The two slept soundly in each other's arms all night, without any dreams.
The next day, Assistant Zhou was catching up on sleep at home because he had been attending a multinational conference all night and was unaware of the discussions and comments people had made about him the previous night.
When Assistant Zhou reappeared at the company, he could feel a slight change in how people looked at him, and many colleagues would take the initiative to come up and greet him...
Although he responded politely, given his sensitivity after being by Mo Jingchen's side for so many years, he knew that something was amiss.
Assistant Zhou sat at his workstation, looked at his colleague beside him, coughed, and said, "Any gossip going on in the company lately?"
The president's secretaries looked at each other, unsure how to answer Zhou's question, since Zhou wasn't in the company's group chat!
But then everyone thought about it carefully. Who was Assistant Zhou? He was the boss's favorite. Even if they didn't say anything, Assistant Zhou would definitely find out about this little thing in the future.
Thinking of this, one of the secretaries took out her phone, opened a voice message, and handed it to Assistant Zhou: "Assistant Zhou, you... listen to it yourself."
When Assistant Zhou took it, he discovered that it was his own voice inside, and the words he was hearing...
Assistant Zhou realized what was happening and immediately turned off the voice recorder, pretending to be calm as he told everyone that he was going to the restroom.
Before he could even leave, the internal phone on the table rang: "Assistant Zhou, come in for a moment."
"Yes, Mr. President."
Assistant Zhou took a deep breath and went to knock on the door of the president's office.
"Go in," Mo Jingchen said.
"President, you wanted to see me."
"Well, nothing much, I was just a little curious that Assistant Zhou can be so lively on a normal day," Mo Jingchen said in a relaxed tone, as if speaking to a friend.
In Mo Jingchen's heart, Assistant Zhou was not only his right-hand man, but also a brother who could fight alongside him.
However, Zhou Tezhu's relationship with him was not the same as that with Li Ye and the others, who had grown up together.
"President? You didn't... hear that too, did you?"
In response to Assistant Zhou's question, Mo Jingchen nodded and said with a smile, "I heard it by chance this morning, but I must say Assistant Zhou sings very well."
At this moment, Assistant Zhou just wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear. He was too ashamed to face anyone. The whole company knew that he had been singing in the bathroom. The noble image he had worked so hard to build was ruined in an instant.
“Assistant Zhou, I think this is great. It makes everyone feel that our Assistant Zhou is more approachable,” Mo Jingchen joked from the side.
"President, it's easy for you to say that when you're not in my shoes. My great image has been ruined overnight. President, you have to pay me compensation for emotional distress," Assistant Zhou said aggrievedly.
"No," Mo Jingchen replied firmly.
"President, I only did this to motivate myself to complete the work you assigned me. I don't care, you have to make it up to me." Assistant Zhou looked just like a wronged little wife at this moment.
"Ahem. Assistant Zhou, I'm married with a wife. The way you look at me like that will make my wife jealous."
"President, you can't be so hurtful," Assistant Zhou said, feeling even more aggrieved as he listened to his boss talking about his wife, and realizing he was still single.
"Go out and get to work. Moving bricks will make you happy. Keep it up, working class!" Mo Jingchen used the words that his assistant Zhou had said to encourage him to continue working hard and moving bricks.
Assistant Zhou understood that he wouldn't get any "comfort" from the president, so he adopted his usual work demeanor and said, "Yes, President. I will definitely work hard and contribute more to the Mo Group."
"Yes, I believe Assistant Zhou has the ability," Mo Jingchen said with his usual expression, his words devoid of much emotion.
After Assistant Zhou left, Mo Jingchen made another phone call to his mother.
When Gu Wanting received the call, she was shopping with her friends in the mall: "Hey, Jingchen," she said, while gesturing for her friends to go ahead and shop.
"Why don't you and Dad pick a time this week to meet with An'an's mother?"
Hearing that she could meet her future in-laws, and thinking about seeing her precious little white rabbit daughter-in-law, Gu Wanting was a little excited: "Great, I'm ready anytime. But there are still some things to prepare. Although you and An'an aren't planning to have a wedding for the time being, the betrothal gifts and dowry can't be lacking. We can't let An'an suffer. So how about this weekend?"
"Okay, I'll let An'an know in a bit. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
"Yes, Jingchen, you should also take care of your health and not work too hard."
"I know, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wanting was in a good mood, but she had many things to prepare and no desire to go shopping. She said goodbye to her friends and went home early...
After hanging up the phone, Mo Jingchen sat there deep in thought. He then called his lawyer and asked him to provide him with a list of all his assets.
The lawyers received the order, and the entire firm immediately sprang into action, after all, Mo Jingchen's assets... were simply too many!
