The next morning.
Lin Zhenzhen entered the office right on time.
From afar, I saw Luo Meng standing in front of her workstation, bending down and talking to Xiao Ling.
"You can coordinate this form with Xiao Ai and send me the results before you leave work today."
“No problem.” Xiaoling glanced at Lin Zhenzhen across from her. “But Director Luo, Xiaozhen and I are supposed to be a team, so why am I paired with Xiao Ai this time?”
“Lingzhen’s work has changed recently, and her original group assignments will be adjusted.” Luo Meng straightened up. “Also, she has other work scheduled for this afternoon.”
"Ah..." Xiaoling opened her mouth wide and watched Luo Meng leave.
As soon as Lin Zhenzhen sat down, she pounced on her, looking conflicted: "What happened? Why was your job position changed?"
Before Lin Zhenzhen could answer, Xiaoling suddenly widened her eyes: "Did you fail your internship?"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head: "Probably not."
"I also think it's impossible."
"But you've only been here a few days, so there shouldn't be any job changes."
Xiaoling immediately looked worried: "By the way, do you have any other work scheduled for this afternoon?"
Lin Zhenzhen paused in wiping the table, looked into Xiaoling's eyes, and slowly said, "Xiaoling, promise me you won't get agitated."
"...Okay, go ahead, I'll stay absolutely calm."
Lin Zhenzhen leaned down and lowered her voice: "I have to accompany President Huo to a business banquet."
Xiaoling repeated blankly, "You mean President Huo?"
Lin Zhenzhen nodded.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
A deafening scream echoed throughout the entire floor.
Lin Zhenzhen tightly covered Xiaoling's mouth: "Didn't we agree not to get excited?"
"I couldn't control myself?!" Xiaoling paused for two seconds, then suddenly raised her voice, "You actually went with President Huo behind my back..."
Xiaoling's mouth was covered again.
Lin Zhenzhen pulled her to an empty stairwell and only spoke after confirming that the fire door was closed.
"This afternoon was a business banquet. The secretary who was supposed to accompany President Huo was on maternity leave, so I was just someone who was temporarily pulled in to fill in."
"But how did he end up contacting you? When did you two become so close?"
Xiaoling suddenly gasped: "Could it be that Mr. Huo's recent unusual behavior is all because of...?"
Seeing that her emotions were about to get agitated again, Lin Zhenzhen quickly raised her hand and made a "stop" gesture.
"Some things can't be explained in a sentence or two. I'll find an opportunity to explain them to you properly later."
Xiaoling hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay."
Lin Zhenzhen whispered, "Xiaoling, please keep my affair with President Huo a secret."
Xiaoling patted her chest and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't go around saying anything."
Lin Zhenzhen blinked: "You can't tell the girls in your group either."
"...Okay! I'll try my best to hold it in!"
Let's leave this matter aside for now.
Not long after lunch, Lin Zhenzhen received a message from Zhang Minglang saying that they would be leaving in about half an hour.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly picked up her skirt and went downstairs, where Zhang Minglang was already waiting in the garage.
Lin Zhenzhen opened the car door: "Leaving so early? Isn't the banquet not starting until the afternoon?"
Zhang Minglang paused in fastening his seatbelt: "To be precise, this should be a banquet, since it doesn't start until 6 p.m. But we need to take you to get your hair and makeup done first."
"Get your hair and makeup done?" Lin Zhenzhen asked, somewhat surprised. "Do I need to get my hair and makeup done just for a business banquet?"
“…” Zhang Minglang glanced at her. “Did President Huo tell you this was a business banquet?”
“Yes,” Lin Zhenzhen tilted her head. “Isn’t that right?”
"He said it was for work purposes, and that he had always been accompanied by his secretary."
"...So it's not wrong."
Lin Zhenzhen sensed the reluctance in his tone: "So, who exactly organized this event?"
"You know the Lu family, right?"
Lin Zhenzhen tilted her head.
"Many people don't know that President Huo is actually related to Lu Yangyun, the current president of Lu's Group."
"Lu Yangyun's biological mother is President Huo's aunt."
Lin Zhenzhen interrupted him: "So, the banquet is related to Lu Yangyun."
"That's right."
Lin Zhenzhen fell silent.
Zhang Minglang thought she was nervous and comforted her.
"The main characters tonight are President Lu and his fiancée. Everyone else is just there to support you. Don't worry, no one will notice you."
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and softly replied, "I understand."
As the vehicle drove smoothly, Lin Zhenzhen gazed at the street scene and suddenly spoke:
"Assistant Zhang, could you please take me home first? I forgot to bring something."
Zhang Tianlang glanced at the time: "Is it something very important?"
"Yes." Lin Zhenzhen touched her earlobe. "I forgot to wear my pearl earrings."
