Lin Zhenzhen woke up at exactly 1:30.
She was covered with a thick blanket, and on the table was a warm bento box and a bag of fever reducers.
"Cough cough." After a nap, Lin Zhenzhen's throat was even drier. She tore two tissues to cover her mouth and coughed softly.
"Have some of this." Xiaoling pushed the cup next to her towards her.
Lin Zhenzhen frowned as she looked at the dark liquid inside: "What is this?"
"Rock sugar pear syrup is good for the intestines and lungs."
"Thank you." Lin Zhenzhen picked up her water glass. "I didn't know you had such health-promoting things here."
Xiaoling chuckled awkwardly, then looked away guiltily and stiffly changed the subject.
"But I've been wanting to say this since earlier: your earrings are so pretty, what brand are they?"
“This earring, it…” Lin Zhenzhen’s left hand froze in mid-air. She paused for a second, then turned to look at the computer screen that was already off.
"Moreover, wearing only the right ear does look more special and refined, and adds a little bit of rebelliousness."
Lin Zhenzhen closed her eyes. Now, everything made sense.
On her way down the mountain, she not only lost Huo Yeshuo's necklace, but also lost one of Lu Yangyun's engagement earrings.
Huo Yishuo thought she risked her life to retrieve the pearl earring, which is why she said those words.
[Wait, host, so you really were heartbroken last night? I thought you were just acting!]
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her brows.
There was definitely an element of acting involved, but it has to be admitted that when Huo Yeshuo said the words "I don't care," her eyes did well up for a moment.
"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen, are you alright?" Xiao Ling shook her shoulder.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly woke up and gave a somewhat bewildered "hmm".
Xiaoling said worriedly, "You've been distracted all day and your mental state isn't good. Since the work handover is finished, why don't you ask Director Luo for leave this afternoon and go home to rest early?"
Lin Zhenzhen was still thinking about the necklace she hadn't gotten back, and after a moment of contemplation, she said okay.
But when they arrived at Luo Meng's office, she said that she had just received a call from the secretary's office, asking Lin Zhenzhen to move up right now.
"Why don't you just tell General Manager Huo directly? After all, you're no longer part of the finance department, and I don't have the authority to approve your leave."
Helpless, Lin Zhenzhen could only call Zhang Minglang again.
"Assistant Zhang, am I moving into the secretary's office today?"
"Time is indeed a bit tight, mainly because I still have some work to hand over to you, and your desk... I guess you'll need to arrange it yourself."
Lin Zhenzhen rubbed her temples: "There's no need for that. The way it looked in your office last time was just fine."
“Your workstation isn’t there.” Zhang Minglang’s voice became somewhat evasive.
"What?" Lin Zhenzhen didn't understand what he meant. "Isn't it the secretary's office?"
"You're a secretary, but you don't work in the secretary's office... Oh dear, I don't know how to explain it. Why don't you come up and take a look?"
-
56th floor.
Lin Zhenzhen stepped out of the elevator.
The HR department is very efficient; they've already granted her access to the dedicated elevator on her work badge.
Lin Zhenzhen stood outside that familiar silver-gray door and couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
"Miss Aya."
Lin Zhenzhen turned her head and saw Zhang Minglang walking out of the office next door.
"Assistant Zhang, what did you mean by that?"
"Well, this is also Mr. Huo's arrangement. Because we've added another assistant to share the workload, there's no extra space in the secretary's office right now."
Lin Zhenzhen asked in confusion, "Then where will I work?"
Zhang Minglang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and pointed to the president's office in front of him.
"here."
"What?"
Lin Zhenzhen was stunned for two seconds before realizing what he meant.
"You mean, I'm going to work in the same office as President Huo?"
Zhang Minglang nodded with difficulty.
[Hehe, host, last time you went into someone's office, classic scenes from online novels were automatically playing in your head!]
[The result, oh the result~] The system's laughter grew increasingly grotesque. [Don't worry, I'll record it carefully and then meticulously compare it with the details of the works you mentioned. I believe our CEO Huo's methods are no worse than those others.]
Lin Zhenzhen clenched her fists tighter and tighter.
After a moment of silence, she looked up and asked, "Can I refuse?"
The door opened at that moment.
Huo Yeshuo's gaze lingered on Lin Zhenzhen for only a second before shifting away expressionlessly.
Lin Zhenzhen had already taken off the lone pearl earring beforehand, but when she saw him, she couldn't help but raise her hand to confirm his identity.
"Prepare the car for me." Huo Yeshuo's voice was like a spring of ice, still clear and clean, but even colder and more piercing.
"Huh?" Zhang Minglang realized that the boss was talking to him directly, ignoring the person in front of him, and quickly replied that he was right.
"President Huo," Lin Zhenzhen said softly.
Huo Yeshuo walked straight ahead without the slightest hesitation.
"Huo Yeshuo." Lin Zhenzhen raised her voice a little.
He must have heard it this time, but he still didn't stop.
