Chapter 85 Sorrow Flows Backwards into the Sea (26)



Qiao Zhen didn't pay any attention to the blonde woman's boasting. She looked at the messages her teammates sent on the game screen and focused on bantering with them.

Damn it! So what if her stats were a little bad and she was AFK for a few minutes? Why are they cursing her so rudely? If she weren't in Chu Zhao's office right now, she would definitely have turned on voice chat.

Of course, she lost the game in the end. Qiao Zhen put her phone down again, holding her breath. She looked at the busy blonde woman and heard the office door open slightly.

"Sister, you don't need to clean up such private things for Chu Zhao, do you?"

The blonde woman was holding Chu Zhao's smelly socks that he had carelessly thrown around; even Qiao Zhen felt disgusted for him.

"The president is very busy every day, how could he have time to spend on these trivial matters?"

Qiao Zhen pouted, "I didn't expect him to be so unhygienic in private. He seems a bit indecent. But, miss, I advise you not to subtly brag about your relationship with Chu Zhao in front of me. No matter how much you take care of him, in the end, won't he still be the one I beat up?"

A flicker of surprise crossed the blonde woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "I'm paid this salary, so I have to do this job. I hope you won't make things difficult for me."

Qiao Zhen looked innocently at the blonde woman, then stood up, supporting herself on the desk with both hands. "I didn't make things difficult for you. I was just being mean to you. Miss, you probably haven't played any games that can make people angry, so you don't know that some people can go crazy and do things that hurt themselves as much as they hurt their enemies. Don't covet Chu Zhao, or I'll hit you."

Even though the woman was almost thirty, she still used "oh" as an interjection when she spoke. Qiao Zhen couldn't help but raise her hand to rub the goosebumps that had risen on her arm.

But Chu Zhao, who was spying outside, saw this as a sign that Qiao Zhen was about to make a move, so he strode forward and stopped Qiao Zhen's hand. "I'm not being indecent, and it's just that these things are not worth wasting time on. If Zhenzhen doesn't like her, I'll fire her. You don't need to strain your hands."

Qiao Zhen pulled her hand away, took her phone, and sat on the sofa. However, she probably disliked Chu Zhao's smelly socks lying around, so she pouted and sat down opposite Chu Zhao's desk. "Troublesome."

Just those two simple words easily stirred up a sense of panic in Chu Zhao's mind.

"Go to the HR department and collect your salary for this month," he said decisively. Then he walked over to her, bent down, and hugged Qiao Zhen. "Don't be angry. I'll definitely clean up properly from now on."

Qiao Zhen frowned, staring at her defeated game character on her phone screen. She felt a lump in her throat, but swallowed it back down. "Hmm, I won't be angry... Yeah, right! Are you three or four? You can't just leave smelly socks lying around! You look perfectly proper dressed outside, but before you even leave the company, you're blah blah blah..."

Chu Zhao listened silently to Qiao Zhen's complaints, then couldn't help but laugh. As long as Qiao Zhen showed any emotional fluctuation towards him, even if it was disdain, it proved that he wasn't entirely without a chance to win Qiao Zhen's heart.

"Whoosh—" The sound of a character reviving in the game made Qiao Zhen immediately stop her rambling and decisively lower her head to continue playing the game. "You go back to work, I'll go back after I win one more game."

"...Oh." Qiao Zhen is now considered his girlfriend, so what to do when your girlfriend is addicted to games? President Chu feels this is a very serious problem, but he doesn't have a solution yet.

However, Qiao was really unlucky, losing three ranked games in a row. So she switched to casual games, oh, she lost four casual games in a row. Two hours had passed. She silently put her phone into her bag and then quietly left.

As the group's president, Mr. Chu certainly wouldn't have just one assistant. Right now, his secretary and assistant are anxiously comforting the blonde woman.

When Qiao Zhen came out, she saw a blonde woman with a "bizarre" look on her face, and she looked a little down.

Beside the blonde woman was a black-haired, black-eyed secretary from the same country as Qiao Zhen. When she saw Qiao Zhen come out, she could tell from Qiao Zhen's demeanor that she was extraordinary.

Hearing the orderly footsteps behind her, Qiao Zhen moved closer to the blonde woman and looked at the man and woman exchanging glances. "Sister, as I said before, don't covet what doesn't belong to you. It's okay if you ignore my words, because it won't be me who leaves."

Task 3 completed.

It seems that the footsteps just now belonged to Chu Zhao.

Qiao Zhen didn't turn around, but just smiled and left.

Chu Zhao was pleased with Qiao Zhen's declaration of sovereignty, which improved his mood considerably. However, his good mood only lasted for two days because Qiao Zhen was going back to China.

As Qiao Zhen was about to board the plane, Chu Zhao held her hand and looked at her longingly, but said nothing.

Under Chu Zhao's pitiful gaze, Qiao Zhen surrendered completely. She reached out and hugged Chu Zhao, giving him a light kiss on the cheek. "Okay, I'll come back after I've taken care of things there."

Although Chu Zhao was still somewhat reluctant, he wasn't the kind of man to make a fuss unnecessarily. Even though he was heartbroken, he still let Qiao Zhen leave. In his opinion, since they had decided to be together, they should cherish each other. However, Qiao Zhen was too rational, and Chu Zhao felt that Qiao Zhen was being unreasonable!

After Qiao Zhen returned to China, she was bombarded with criticism by Wen's father.

"What did An'erle do to offend you? Why would you abandon the company's interests to oust her?!"

Qiao Zhen pretended to have a headache, "Please put her somewhere else. Seriously, I feel suffocated whenever I see her. Reason is a good thing, but unfortunately I don't have it. Don't blame me for being petty. I, Wen Zhen, can get by anywhere. There's no need for me to suffer for the sake of one of my own branch companies."
