After the visit to Hongluo Temple, Eric rarely saw Zhang Moyan again. Zhang Moyan realized later that she seemed to have offended (what she thought was) her leader.
After returning to Shenhai from a three-day business trip, Zhang Moyan found a white envelope on her desk early in the morning. When she opened it, she found two autographs from Song Yaxuan inside!
Zhang Moyan quickly asked the older sister who was eating a bun at her workstation behind her, "Sister Mei, did you see who put this on my desk?"
The eldest sister got excited as soon as she saw the white envelope in Zhang Moyan's hand. She put down the buns she was holding and stood up curiously. "Oh, I was just about to ask you, what good thing did Editor-in-Chief Lu get you? I just happened to see her putting this down for you and then leaving."
Zhang Moyan was surprised to find it was Editor-in-Chief Lu! She remembered that after returning from Ruzhou, she had only asked an intern in the entertainment department how to get Song Yaxuan's autograph, because she had promised Sasa that she would get one for her when she returned to Shenhai.
Seeing that Zhang Moyan didn't say anything, the eldest sister kept glancing at the white envelope: "This contains either a reward or a thank-you letter, right? I heard that the entertainment team's interview with Xiao Xingyu over the weekend was very successful, and their dialect play "Xinhuo" is a sure hit! You contributed a lot to this, so this must be a token of appreciation for you!"
Zhang Moyan gave an apologetic, disappointing smile: "No, these are two signatures of Song Yaxuan."
"That's impossible. Why would I give you this?" The eldest sister was suspicious and didn't believe it. Zhang Moyan took out the photo from the white envelope and showed it to her. She said vaguely, "I asked them for it before. There are kids at home who like it."
The eldest sister couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, so she said "Oh" and sat back in her chair to eat buns and drink soy milk.
Zhang Moyan turned around and picked up an exquisite handbag from the table: "Sister Mei, this is the snacks I brought back from Yili, you can try them."
The older sister, who was just feeling bored, suddenly brightened up her eyes and took the bag: "I love Yili's snacks. Xiao Zhang, you brought something back!"
"Jin Xueyang loves the dim sum from this restaurant." Zhang Moyan explained.
The older sister pulled out a tongue biscuit from her handbag, ripped open the wrapper without hesitation, and smiled ambiguously, "I was wondering, you all fly around, why are you bringing souvenirs? Turns out Xiao Jin loves it. I think you two are a good match, why haven't you developed a relationship... Eh? Speak of the devil, and he'll appear! Xiao Jin!"
Zhang Moyan turned around and saw Jin Xueyang walking in quickly with a worried look on his face, answering the phone in one hand and carrying a briefcase in the other, and heading straight for his workstation.
"Didn't I tell you? The day after tomorrow at 3 PM, I'll be at the 6th floor of the Haohaidong Building at 136 Dongfang Road... Yes, the paternity testing center... Yes, bring your ID and household registration... Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, there won't be any other media... Okay, bye!"
Jin Xueyang hung up the phone, took a long breath, and placed his briefcase on the table. Zhang Moyan handed him a handbag filled with snacks.
"Are you so busy so early in the morning? Here are some snacks for you."
Jin Xueyang raised his head, and Zhang Moyan was frightened by his two panda eyes at first sight: "You have serious dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Jin Xueyang didn't seem to want to pay attention to her. He stared at the paper bag she handed over for a long time before reluctantly taking it. "Thanks. It's rare for someone to remember me when you have a boyfriend!"
These unintentional words made Zhang Moyan freeze for a moment, and her heart tightened. Boyfriend... She no longer had a boyfriend.
I quickly changed the subject: "What paternity testing center were you talking about? Have you been very busy these past few days?"
"Of course! I'm absolutely swamped!" Jin Xueyang unzipped his briefcase with a look of despair, taking out the items one by one. "It's all because of that missing person notice for 'Please Come Out of the Mountains'! I'm such a toiler! I thought I'd have some free time while you were away on business, but suddenly these young people showed up claiming to be Professor Chen's grandsons and granddaughters. I've been acting as a liaison for the past few days. Professor Chen is flying over from Japan the day after tomorrow to do paternity tests with these people."
Zhang Moyan's head buzzed, and she opened her eyes wide, remaining in a daze for a long time.
"A suspected relative showed up so soon?"
There is nothing to be surprised about when someone comes forward to identify their relatives. China has a population of 1.4 billion, so there are bound to be people with similar misfortunes.
What was shocking was that Chen Guanfu, her grandfather, the man who instructed her mother to carry out an ulterior mission and thus triggered a series of disastrous consequences, was about to come to Shenhai from Japan!
Zhang Moyan's expression was tense, her breathing became heavier involuntarily, and her blood rushed to her head.
"That's right!" Jin Xueyang dug out a piece of scribbled paper. "Luckily, the sales manager got the People's Livelihood Team involved and worked with us on this deal." He checked the time on his phone. "By the way, we have a meeting with the People's Livelihood Team in the conference room on the 11th floor at 9:30. You should come too!"
Jin Xueyang didn't notice Zhang Moyan's annoyance. He picked up his laptop and power bank and said to her, "I'm going upstairs to adjust the PPT first. You take your time walking up the stairs."
Without caring whether Zhang Moyan agreed or not, Jin Xueyang hurried away with the things in his hands.
Zhang Moyan returned to her seat and sat there in a trance for a long time, until the eldest sister went to the bathroom and came back, urging her: "Xiao Zhang, what are you still doing here? Didn't Xiao Jin ask you to go to the 11th floor for a meeting?" Only then did she pick up the notebook and walked out of the office like a puppet.
"Xiao Zhang!"
Before Zhang Moyan reached the door of the emergency passage, someone called her from behind at the elevator entrance.
She turned around and saw that the person who called her was Editor-in-Chief Wu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a kind and amiable female leader who was nearly fifty years old.
"Xiao Zhang, are you also going to the 11th floor for a meeting?" Editor-in-Chief Wu came up pushing a cart with a large box on it.
"Yes." Zhang Moyan had a bad feeling.
"Great! Could you please help me push these things up? These are the materials we'll use this afternoon, they're not heavy. I have something to take care of in the office right now!"
really.
Zhang Moyan looked at the four elevators next to her and felt anxious.
While she was hesitating, Editor-in-Chief Wu had already stuffed the handle of the cart into her hands: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"……good."
Editor-in-Chief Wu added, "Also, please tell everyone to wait for me for a few minutes. I'll be there as soon as possible!"
"……good."
As soon as I pressed the up button of the elevator, my heart started beating rapidly, as if the innate fear was penetrating into my body.
Zhang Moyan gripped the handle of the cart tightly with all ten fingers and looked around, hoping that someone would come and wait for the elevator with her.
Even if you don't go to the 11th floor, it's okay to just go to the 8th, 9th or 10th floor.
However, at 9:30, even those who are late would not be this late, and those who are on duty are basically at their workstations or in the meeting room, but no one came!
"bite!"
With a crisp prompt sound, the stainless steel elevator door opened to both sides in front of the toes that were put together.
The elevator car was empty, waiting quietly for Zhang Moyan to walk in.
