"Yi Ruo, here's my most beautiful tourist photo, no arguments allowed."
…………
An Yiruo couldn't stop laughing as she looked at everyone's comments.
"An'an, what are you looking at? You're laughing so happily."
"Chen, look! These are photos of Zhang Yuanyuan from our office going out!" An Yiruo handed her phone to Mo Jingchen, unable to suppress a smile.
"Are they... fleeing for their lives?"
"I don't know where she went to play. I'll ask her more carefully when I get to work. But her outfit is really... hilarious. She looks like she's fleeing a disaster."
"How could our Mo Corporation have an employee like this? He seems a little dim-witted," Mo Jingchen complained from the side.
“You’re being too harsh. Yuanyuan is usually a very nice person. She works hard and is very warm. When I first joined the operations department, she was the one who mentored me from the very beginning. Now, Yuanyuan is the person I’m closest to in the office.” Although An Yiruo found Zhang Yuanyuan’s photo funny, she tried her best to protect Zhang Yuanyuan’s image in the company because of Mo Jingchen’s words.
"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go back, it'll get chilly soon." Mo Jingchen didn't really care about Zhang Yuanyuan anyway; as long as she didn't make any major mistakes, she could still work at the Mo Group.
"Let's go back," An Yiruo said, reaching out to interlock her fingers with Mo Jingchen's.
The two spent three days at the resort, then visited Grandma Mo and Madam Mo at the old house, and then went to see Mother An. This marked the end of their National Day holiday.
On her first day back at work, An Yiruo took some unique little trinkets she had bought at the resort and distributed them to her colleagues.
Zhang Yuanyuan also brought some local specialties for her colleagues to enjoy.
"Yuanyuan, why do you look so listless?" An Yiruo said to Zhang Yuanyuan next to her after sitting down at her workstation.
"Oh, don't even mention it. You were right, as soon as the holiday started, I got all excited and took a spontaneous trip. During the seven-day National Day holiday, I went to three cities, a real special forces trip," Zhang Yuanyuan said lazily, leaning back in her seat.
"Three cities in seven days? Yuanyuan is amazing!" An Yiruo couldn't help but give her a thumbs up after hearing this.
"Of course, behind this madness is that I feel like my whole body is falling apart, I'm in pain all over, I have no energy, and I just want to sleep!" Zhang Yuanyuan said with a tired expression.
“Perfect timing, I have a magic weapon to save you, here you go.” An Yiruo took a cup of coffee out of a paper bag on her desk and handed it to Zhang Yuanyuan.
"Wow, Yi Ruo, you're my savior. I'm just one cup of coffee away from being fully recharged. Thank you, Yi Ruo," Zhang Yuanyuan said, taking the coffee and thanking An Yi Ruo.
"You're welcome. I bought these on my way to work this morning. I thought you might need them too, so I bought two. Fully energized, ready to get to work!" An Yiruo took a sip of coffee and gave herself a pep talk.
"Yi Ruo, there's a meeting in a bit," Zhang Yuanyuan said after taking a sip of coffee.
"Huh? How come I didn't know?"
"Look, this is the notice that was just sent out." Zhang Yuanyuan showed An Yiruo the work notice.
"It's true, the first morning at work always involves a meeting. Let's go."
After a tense morning of meetings, Zhang Yuanyuan suggested having a nice lunch, which she would treat herself to, in order to replenish her energy and strength.
"Yi Ruo, did you understand everything the manager said in the meeting this morning?"
"Hmm, I think I understand."
"I really don't understand. He insists on making a meeting that lasts all morning when he could finish in ten minutes. It's such a waste of time. Does he really think he's some important leader giving a speech?" Zhang Yuanyuan complained to An Yiruo while eating.
"Yuanyuan, keep your voice down, be careful the walls may hear you!" An Yiruo reminded her.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's lunch break, can't employees even complain?"
The two chatted and laughed, sharing a lot of office gossip: whose secret relationships had been exposed, and who had been criticized by the boss...
The lunch break was quite enjoyable, and afterward, the office returned to its usual busy state!
After get off work, as An Yiruo headed to the parking spot she had arranged to meet Xiao Zhang, she felt like someone was following her, but when she looked back, she didn't see anyone suspicious. Was she just being paranoid?
An Yiru shook her head, opened the car door, got in, and drove away.
For the next few days, An Yiruo had this feeling both at work and after get off work! This made An Yiruo feel that it was definitely not a coincidence!
"Chen, are you busy?"
Mo Jingchen was surprised that An Yiruo would call him at this time. He put down the pen he was about to sign and gestured for the manager in front of him to leave for a moment.
"What's wrong, An'an?"
"I feel like someone's been following me to and from get off work lately, but I don't know if it's just my imagination," An Yiruo told Mo Jingchen over the phone, expressing her doubts.
"Following?" Mo Jingchen's expression turned sour upon hearing those two words.
"Yeah, I really feel like someone's following me, but every time I look back I don't see anyone suspicious! That's the biggest problem."
"Don't worry, leave this to me. Just continue with your usual routine, going to get off work and leaving as usual. Don't alert them. I'll arrange for two bodyguards to protect you discreetly," Mo Jingchen said on the phone, trying his best to calm An Yiruo down, worried that she might be scared.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Jingchen pressed the internal line: "Assistant Zhou, come in for a moment."
"President, you wanted to see me."
"Check the surveillance videos of the president's wife going to and from get off work in the past few days to see if any suspicious persons appear."
"Yes, President. President's wife... has something happened?" Assistant Zhou understood that the president wouldn't ask him to investigate these things for no reason; there must be a reason.
“An’an said that she feels like she’s being followed a lot lately, and she’s a little scared.”
"I understand, Mr. President. I'll get on it right away."
"Also, give this document to Manager Wu." Mo Jingchen signed the document with a flourish and handed it to Assistant Zhou.
"Yes, President."
Life continued in an orderly manner, and the person who was following An Yiruo had not yet been discovered.
That evening, An Yiruo, as always, held Mo Jingchen's arms and said:
"Chen, am I being paranoid? Maybe no one is following me at all." After these days of investigation, An Yiruo also began to doubt herself, wondering if she was being too sensitive.
"Let's investigate further."
