The elevator was hard to get, and Lin Zhenzhen was delayed by two minutes.
When she stepped out of the elevator on the basement level, the first thing she saw was Huo Yeshuo's back.
"Mr. Huo, I'm here."
Lin Zhenzhen jogged forward, and after taking two more steps, she saw Luo Meng standing behind her.
The other person looked terrible. The bright incandescent light at the entrance of the building made her dark circles, which were originally mostly covered by foundation, nowhere to hide.
Lin Zhenzhen slowed her pace and stood behind Huo Yeshuo, timidly calling out, "Director Luo, good morning."
Seeing Lin Zhenzhen and Huo Yeshuo still behaving intimately, Luo Meng's expression was quite interesting.
Her gaze shifted between the two of them, finally settling on Lin Zhenzhen, where she forced an awkward smile.
"Good morning, Xiao Zhen. You two keep chatting, I'm going upstairs now."
After Luo Meng left, Lin Zhenzhen turned to look at Huo Yeshuo, who was standing to the side.
He was wearing a more casual shirt today, and his hairstyle seemed a bit different from usual; it was clear that he had styled it specially.
"Mr. Huo, this is the first time I've seen you with your forehead showing."
Huo Yeshuo awkwardly put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice.
"It looks really good." Lin Zhenzhen looked up at him, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.
Huo Yeshuo lowered his hand from his mouth and turned to look at the white wall beside him.
"Let's go."
He grabbed Lin Zhenzhen's wrist, and she asked, somewhat bewildered, "Where are we going?"
Huo Yeshuo pulled her to the CEO's private elevator in the corner: "Let's go upstairs."
Lin Zhenzhen slowly replied with an "oh".
She stared at the part where their skin touched, her eyes darting around.
Lin Zhenzhen looked up: "But I'm not going to the 56th floor, so I shouldn't take this elevator, right?"
Huo Yeshuo replied naturally, "Just press another floor."
Since no one else was using the elevator, it quickly arrived at the basement level after Huo Yeshuo pressed the button.
Lin Zhenzhen followed behind him, clutching the lunchbox tightly in her hand, her lips curving into a wide smile.
Huo Yeshuo caught a glimpse of her expression, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
"So happy?"
"Mmm!" Lin Zhenzhen raised her head, her eyes sparkling as if stars had fallen into them.
"Mr. Huo, I packed your breakfast in a thermal container and have been holding it in my arms. The porridge should still be warm."
Huo Yeshuo lowered his eyes, took the pink bento from her hand, and said softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lin Zhenzhen smiled, her two small, white teeth nestled between her cherry-red lower lip.
"I didn't have to squeeze into the elevator this morning, all thanks to President Huo."
Huo Yeshuo's Adam's apple bobbed. He tilted his head slightly and stared at the constantly changing numbers: "From now on, you can wait for me on the basement level every day."
"Um?"
Huo Ye added, "No more squeezing into the elevator."
Lin Zhenzhen let out a soft "ah," and looked up at Huo Yeshuo's back, her eyes sparkling.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make exceptions like this?"
She lowered her eyes and analyzed seriously, "After all, I'm not from the president's office. If other colleagues saw me coming out of this elevator every day, they would gossip, wouldn't they?"
Huo Yeshuo frowned slightly: "Gossiping?"
Just then, the elevator arrived at the finance department floor. Lin Zhenzhen said goodbye and hurriedly walked out.
Huo Yeshuo also noticed her furtive, furtive observation at the door.
He returned to his office thoughtfully, opened Lin Zhenzhen's insulated food container, and paused for a moment when he saw the two dark objects arranged in the shape of hearts on top.
As Zhang Tianlang was passing by, he habitually peeked through the crack in the CEO's office door and saw the bizarre scene of his boss chewing on a rubber tube with a wide smile.
He slapped his forehead, trying to clear his head of the hallucinations caused by staying up too late.
"Assistant Zhang."
"Hey!" Zhang Tianlang was startled and took a few steps back.
Huo Yeshuo had already put down his bowl and chopsticks, clasped his hands together, crossed his legs, and maintained his usual noble demeanor.
Zhang Tianlang tried hard to control his gaze, avoiding looking at the insulated lunchbox on the table.
"Mr. Huo, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I have a question I'm not entirely sure about."
Huo Yeshuo frowned slightly, his expression serious.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Tianlang also composed himself and replied with utmost attention, "President Huo, please speak."
Huo Yeshuo's fingers twitched: "Would our company's employees be so bored as to pry into other people's private affairs?"
Zhang Tianlang froze for two seconds, then widened his eyes and frantically waved his hands: "I didn't, I didn't."
Huo Yeshuo looked at him with some confusion and said, "I wasn't talking about you."
Zhang Tianlang let out a breath and wiped the two drops of cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand: "Um, Mr. Huo, what kind of private matter are you referring to?"
Huo Yeshuo pondered for a moment: "In terms of relationships."
"Ah, this." Zhang Tianlang's tongue went limp, and he suddenly felt not only his forehead but also his back starting to sweat profusely.
Under Huo Yeshuo's probing gaze, he stammered, "I guess everyone will pay some attention. After all, people are very curious, and who wouldn't like to hear about their colleagues' romantic gossip?"
Huo Yeshu sneered: "Are you sure?"
Zhang Tianlang quickly added, "Of course, the people I'm talking about definitely don't include you, President Huo. You're so busy, you don't have time to pay attention to these things."
Huo Yeshuo fell silent, his eyes lowered, his strong fingers rhythmically tapping the table.
Zhang Tianlang didn't dare to leave, and just stood there pitifully to the side.
My mind raced, all I could think was, "Oh no, I've messed up Barbie Q. I said the wrong thing and upset the boss."
Huo Yeshuo suddenly looked up at him: "Have you been working too much lately?"
Zhang Tianlang shook his head vigorously: "No, no, I love my work, and my work loves me. Dedicating myself to the company is my lifelong pursuit. I'm willing to shine at Kangkong for the rest of my life..."
"It's settled then." Huo Yeshuo stood up.
Zhang Tianlang stared blankly: "Huh?"
"Get ready, a new person will be arriving at the secretary's office soon."
