“Of course! If they weren’t unhappy, how could so many managers be affected at the same time?” Zhang Yuanyuan said with certainty.
But what An Yiruo wanted to say was, could it be because the work of these supervisors really didn't meet Mo Jingchen's expectations? After all, in An Yiruo's opinion, Mo Jingchen should be in a good mood today.
However, An Yiruo wasn't foolish enough to say it aloud.
"An'an, where do you live? Can we go home together after get off work?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked An Yiruo.
"I live not far from the company," An Yiruo said vaguely, without giving her a specific address.
Because she can't exactly say that she lives in Xinghai Bay Community and works as an intern assistant, can she?
"I have to rush to catch the subway after get off work, otherwise it will be too crowded to get on," Zhang Yuanyuan said helplessly.
"Yuanyuan, hurry off work! I'm cheering you on!"
"I'm so envious that you don't have to take the subway to and from get off work!"
An Yiruo responded with a smile.
"An'an, want to go home together after get off work?" Sunglasses Chen texted An Yiruo.
"No, there are too many people around. I'll go back myself."
"Or, how about we wait until everyone gets off work and go back together?" Mo Jingchen continued, still unwilling to give up.
"But... almost everyone in my department has left. I have no reason to stay here alone."
"I'll have Assistant Zhou pick you up in a bit. Come to my office."
"It wouldn't be good if someone saw us. Let's go home and see each other. Bye, Chen," An Yiruo replied to the message and then packed her things and left.
Mo Jingchen sat in his CEO office, staring at the message on his phone for a long time, then said in a low voice, "Mo Jingchen, wouldn't you say you've shot yourself in the foot?"
I was hoping for an office romance, but to my surprise, they wouldn't even give me a chance to meet.
Mo Jingchen stopped working overtime and got up to go home.
"Chen, you're back." An Yiruo had just entered the house when Mo Jingchen opened the door and came in as well.
"It seems An'an got back a little earlier than me. How was work today?" Mo Jingchen asked, putting his arm around An Yiruo and leading her to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Work is going smoothly, thank you for your concern, President Mo."
An Yiruo did not tell Mo Jingchen about the little incident that happened at the operations department today. She could handle and digest such a small matter on her own.
She didn't want Mo Jingchen to think she was a pretentious woman who would come back to complain about every little thing.
"I'm glad everything went smoothly. You've worked hard, so I'll have Aunt Li cook you a couple more dishes tonight to help you recover."
Mo Jingchen knew that An Yiruo had suffered some grievances at the company today, but since An Yiruo didn't tell him, he didn't ask.
This can be considered a necessary lesson for An Yiruo as she enters the workplace...
"Chen, it's my first day at work, I'm not tired, I don't need any supplements, I don't need any supplements." What a joke, she had hardly done any technically demanding work all day.
She hadn't expended much energy, and she felt a little embarrassed to say she should eat something to replenish her energy.
"It seems An'an is adapting quite well," Mo Jingchen said in a light tone.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. But the leaders came back from the meeting today looking all gloomy. Everyone's saying that our CEO, Mr. Mo, is in a bad mood today."
"But in my opinion, our CEO Mo seems to be in a pretty good mood today." An Yiruo and Mo Jingchen sat together, chatting about the day's events.
"You can't even do your job properly and you keep making excuses. Also, An'an, you rejected me twice today." Mo Jingchen's tone and expression clearly showed that he was somewhat aggrieved when he said the last sentence.
"Didn't we agree to be strangers at the company? What if other people find out about our relationship?"
"If they find out, just make it public. I, Mo Jingchen, married openly and honestly. I didn't do anything shameful. There's no need to hide it." Mo Jingchen now regrets agreeing to An Yiruo's suggestion to keep their marriage a secret.
Although they work at the same company now, they never see each other during the day.
“Yes, our CEO Mo is the best! Have some grapes~” An Yiruo picked up a grape from the coffee table and fed it to Mo Jingchen.
"An'an, I'm serious about what I said."
"I know, eat up."
"An'an, will you come upstairs and have lunch with me tomorrow?"
"But with my limited access, I can't keep up with your schedule and go to your office."
Mo Jingchen's office is on the 22nd floor. To get to the 22nd floor, you need to swipe a card to use the elevator.
Each person and each position has different levels of authority. The greater the authority, the more places one can go. On the contrary, a junior assistant like An Yiruo can only stay obediently in the operations department and can't go anywhere.
"Tomorrow I'll have Assistant Zhou get you a card so you can freely enter and exit the Mo's Building."
An Yiruo felt that Mo Jingchen was like a child at this moment, not caring about the rules just to have a meal with her.
"Chen, let's be patient. It would be nice if we could have dinner together at home tonight. Let's eat separately for lunch."
“An… Yi… Ruo,” Mo Jingchen said, sounding somewhat unhappy.
"Just bear with it," An Yiruo said, and then quickly pecked Mo Jingchen on the cheek.
However, this gesture seemed to please Mo Jingchen. Mo Jingchen's lips curled up slightly, and he gave An Yiruo a deep kiss in return.
"An'an, this is your punishment for being disobedient."
"You promised to keep our relationship a secret. Besides, I didn't set the rules for the Mo Group."
"What kind of bullshit rule is this? I'll change it tomorrow."
An Yiruo wanted to laugh when she heard Mo Jingchen's words. She hadn't expected Mo Jingchen to have such a childlike side.
After dinner, back in her bedroom, An Yiruo leaned against the bed and looked at the Mo Group's employee handbook.
The manual is very thick and contains a lot of information. An Yiruo looks at it with extra care and attention, just in case she makes a mistake one day without realizing it.
"An'an, what are you looking at?" Mo Jingchen looked at the cover of An Yiruo's book and it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Here, this is the Mo family's employee handbook. I'm going to read it tonight and understand what's written inside," An Yiruo said, handing it to Mo Jingchen.
After taking the booklet, Mo Jingchen realized why it looked familiar; it was the employee handbook.
"An'an, how about we look at it again tomorrow?"
"No, I have to finish watching it tonight, otherwise I won't even know what mistakes I've made at work."
"How long will An'an need to watch?"
"Chen, you're sleepy, you should go to sleep first. I need to read a little longer. After all, this manual... is too thick."
