Zhang Minglang, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered, utterly clueless about what had happened. He could only move silently, trying to minimize his presence.
After Huo Yeshuo left, he spoke up: "...Miss Ling, as I just said, the office arrangement was Mr. Huo's idea, but if you have other ideas, you can try to communicate with him."
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes: "I understand."
Zhang Minglang pushed open the door: "Do you want to go in and check on your workstation now?"
Through the gap, Lin Zhenzhen could indeed see that a new desk had been added to the room, placed next to the window.
Its placement is quite subtle; it's on the left-hand side as you enter, with a row of densely packed bookshelves on the side acting as a cover, so you almost won't notice it when you stand at the door and look inside.
"That location is actually quite good; the view is great, the lighting is good, and the privacy is top-notch!"
"privacy?"
"Yes, with such a big bookshelf, when you're sitting down, no one can see what you're doing at all."
Lin Zhenzhen glanced at the area diagonally behind the desk. Clearly, this "others" did not include Huo Yeshuo.
Lin Zhenzhen turned around and left.
She looked up and said, "Assistant Zhang, I'm not feeling well today. Could I ask for half a day off to go home and rest?"
“Of course, no problem. Although I don’t have the authority to approve your leave, you haven’t officially started work today.” Zhang Minglang smiled and lowered his voice. “Besides, President Huo isn’t here right now, so we can just slip away quietly. I’ll cover for you.”
Lin Zhenzhen replied with a thank you.
Zhang Minglang walked to the window and sighed, "It rained heavily last night, and today they issued an orange alert. It seems the flood season is really here this year."
Lin Zhenzhen followed his gaze to the window. The tall buildings were close to the sky, and the dark clouds hung low, almost touching each other.
Zhang Minglang was right; this was indeed the look of an impending downpour. Going up the mountain to look for the necklace in this weather was certainly not a wise choice.
"Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out later. Don't wander around. Go straight home."
Lin Zhenzhen asked absentmindedly, "Do you know where President Huo went?"
"Um, I really didn't know. According to the schedule, there were no plans to go out until tonight." Zhang Minglang couldn't help but ask, "Did you two have a fight last night?"
"Where is Mr. Huo going tonight? Can you tell me?"
-
Five-star hotel.
This is where Lin Zhenzhen landed in this small world, and also where she first met Huo Yeshuo.
"Mr. Huo, please go first."
Huo Yeshuo stepped into the lobby, his eyes like radar, accurately capturing the slender figure in the corner, his pupils contracting slightly.
"Mr. Huo, I'm late." Lin Zhenzhen jogged forward and greeted him with a smile.
Who is this?
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am Mr. Huo's secretary, Lingzhen. You can call me Xiaozhen."
"Oh, is that so?" Mr. Zhang patted his round beer belly and smiled meaningfully.
There are some unwritten rules in the business world: bringing a woman, especially one's secretary, to a drinking party basically sets a certain tone.
"It looks like tonight is going to be a very pleasant evening."
"We will make sure you have a great time, Mr. Zhang."
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and looked up, only to see Huo Yeshuo's icy gaze.
Her smile froze for a moment, and she was about to explain when Huo Yeshuo strode away, leaving only his back view.
Lin Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and followed.
Taking orders, arranging seating, saying polite things, and creating a pleasant atmosphere are all essential skills for navigating the entertainment industry.
Lin Zhenzhen is always a quick learner. She didn't do things before because she didn't want to, not because she didn't know how.
Mr. Zhang was increasingly pleased with his clever, efficient, and capable female secretary.
"Mr. Huo, your company's HR department is really impressive. Where did you find these talents? Could you introduce them to me sometime?"
Huo Yeshuo coldly raised his eyes. Ever since he entered the room, his face had been long and sullen, as if someone owed him a fortune.
However, everyone knows that CEO Huo of Kangkong has a somewhat eccentric personality, but that doesn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for cooperating with him. When it comes to business, making money is the most important thing.
"President Zhang, please don't make fun of me. How could a young man like me possibly catch your eye?"
"Hey, the younger you are, the more valuable you are. After all, to be Mr. Huo's secretary at your age, you must be exceptionally capable."
The phrase "extraordinary ability" was emphasized, and everyone else present burst into laughter in agreement.
Huo Yeshuo's fingers tightened around the teacup, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force. He pressed his tongue against his itchy canine teeth, suppressing the anger that was about to burst forth.
Yu Guangli saw Lin Zhenzhen with a polite smile on her lips, her eyes as innocent and naive as ever.
Huo Yeshuo smiled bitterly to himself. She was so smart, she had both him and Lu Yangyun completely under her thumb, how could she not understand the meaning of these words?
She's just pretending again.
