Chapter 18 She's Just Testing
Zhou Zimo panicked, "Ge'er, I..."
Xu Ge tilted his head to look at him and suddenly said, "Zimo, you know I don't have any relatives anymore."
Zhou Zimo stared at her and nodded, "I know."
"So I have only one request for my future significant other."
Zhou Zimo suddenly felt panicky. He couldn't help but take a step closer to her, "Ge'er, I am..."
Xu Ge just shook her head gently at him. "That's absolute loyalty. I hope he only has me in his heart and treats me well. So my future husband will be my only relative in this world. Of course, maybe we will have a child in the future, but that's all based on our love for each other."
Zhou Zimo's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists. "Ge'er, I can promise to cut off all ties with them and only do good to you."
Xu Ge smiled and shook his head. "This is your freedom. You don't need to promise anyone."
But Zhou Zimo had already made up his mind. If he wanted Xu Ge, he would first have to break off relations with the couples around him.
After figuring it out, he was no longer as nervous as before, but gave her a determined smile.
"I'll prove it to you slowly."
Xu Ge just smiled and slowly extended his hand, "Then I'll be grateful for your guidance from now on, Vice President Zhou."
Zhou Zimo's eyes were fixed on her, unable to see anything else.
He couldn't help but frown as he held Xu Ge's hand. He found that there seemed to be some calluses on her knuckles, and she looked very old.
"How did this happen?"
Xu Ge looked down at his cocoon and stretched out his other hand to show him.
“This one has one too.”
Zhou Zimo's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and he couldn't hide the pain on his face.
"How did it happen? How did you get so many calluses? Where did you go abroad..."
At this point, Zhou Zimo seemed to have guessed the reason, and looked up at her with eyes full of pity.
Xu Ge didn't care. "When I left Hong Kong, I only brought one suitcase with me. I threw away the card my uncle gave me. I didn't have much cash on me. Although I had already paid for the school accommodation, my living expenses were still pitifully low. I could only wash dishes and work part-time jobs. I did everything I could..."
Zhou Zimo pulled the person into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, Ge'er. I didn't know you were living like this. I thought you would live a happy life even if you were abroad. I didn't expect you to suffer so much. If I had known, I would have come to find you a long time ago."
Xu Ge patted his shoulder as if to comfort him, but his eyes glanced vaguely at the surveillance camera in his office.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled faintly.
"Okay, let me go. This is the company, and there are surveillance cameras."
Zhou Zimo didn't care at all. "It doesn't matter. Besides me, the only person who can access the surveillance footage is my uncle, and he won't watch it."
"I see..."
Xu Ge hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and waved at the surveillance camera, without ever pushing Zhou Zimo away.
At this moment, in the president's office.
Han Wen's eyes met the person on the screen for a brief moment, but he quickly looked away and looked at the man on the chair.
"Mr. Zhou, how did Ms. Xu know we were watching?"
Zhou Chen turned off the surveillance camera and didn't look at how provocatively the pretty face on the screen was smiling at him. Instead, he said in a deep voice.
"She's just testing the waters."
Han Wen turned his head and looked at him, "Test?"
Zhou Chen spoke again, "Notify all departments to hold a meeting."
"yes."
Zhou Zimo's office phone rang, and he had no choice but to let go of the person in his arms.
"Wait a minute, this is for insiders only."
Xu Ge nodded honestly, his eyes fell on the phone, then suddenly looked up at the surveillance camera and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
"Meeting, okay, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zimo looked at Xu Ge again.
"Are you going to a meeting?"
Zhou Zimo nodded. "Yes, I have to attend the high-level meeting. I'll have my secretary take you to complete the onboarding procedures. Is that okay?"
Xu Ge couldn't help but tease him with a smile, "Your secretary who just wanted to eat me? That's not necessary, right?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Zimo's face, and he could only clench his fist to clear his throat, "It's not her, it's someone else."
"Oh, there's more..."
Zhou Zimo looked at her helplessly. He knew she was doing it on purpose, but he still explained, "Pure Secretary."
Xu Ge couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his lips, "I know, I was just kidding, go get busy."
Zhou Zimo then pressed another button, "Bai Bing, come in now."
Soon, Bai Bing appeared in the office. She saw Xu Ge nodded to her first, and then looked at Zhou Zimo.
"Vice President Zhou."
"She is Xu Ge, and I am..."
Xu Ge suddenly turned to look at him and shook his head slightly.
Zhou Zimo understood that she didn't want to reveal her identity, so he changed the subject and said, "This is the new secretary. Take her to complete the onboarding procedures first."
Bai Bing glanced at Xu Ge and nodded expressionlessly.
"OK."
Zhou Zimo glanced at his watch, a little anxious, "Ge'er, can you come to work tomorrow?"
May
Song nodded, "Of course."
"Okay." Zhou Zimo glanced at Bai Bing again, "I'll leave her to you."
Bai Bing looked up at Zhou Zimo and nodded in response to his gaze that sounded like instructions and warnings.
"I see."
Xu Ge seemed to think he was being too long-winded, "Well, come on, are you going to have the meeting yet? Be careful not to get scolded for being late!"
Zhou Zimo could only smile and leave, "Let's go, I'm leaving now."
Only after the person left did Xu Ge extend his hand, "Secretary Bai, I'll be bothering you from now on."
Bai Bing glanced at her fair hand and shook hands with her.
"It's not a big deal. I'll take you to complete the employment formalities first."
Xu Ge looked at her with a smile, "Okay."
Because she was brought by Bai Bing personally to handle the job, everyone in the human resources department was very curious about her.
As soon as she showed up, there were rumors about her and Zhou Zimo.
Linda looked at the private messages asking her whether the beautiful new goddess was Vice President Zhou's girlfriend and why Bai Bing brought her in personally.
She was so jealous that she looked up when she heard footsteps and immediately stood up to greet them.
"Bai Bing, what is the relationship between that woman named Xu Ge and Zimo?"
Bai Bing glanced at her calmly and said, "If you want to know, go ask Vice President Zhou. I don't know."
"You don't know either?" Linda was obviously a little annoyed.
Bai Bing returned to his seat without even looking at her.
In the conference room, Zhou Zimo was left alone.
He looked uneasily at the indifferent man in the main seat, "Uncle?"
Zhou Chen then raised his eyes to look at him, "I want to know why I asked you to stay?"
Zhou Zimo nodded. He was a little anxious, wondering if the person was still in his office.
"Give it to him."
Han Wen handed him a document and said, "Vice President Zhou, please take a look."
Zhou Zimo panicked, "Ge'er, I..."
Xu Ge tilted his head to look at him and suddenly said, "Zimo, you know I don't have any relatives anymore."
Zhou Zimo stared at her and nodded, "I know."
"So I have only one request for my future significant other."
