Chapter 20
The next day, Cheng Cheng got up with two huge dark circles under his eyes.
She felt that Zhou Yue was like a child who had not grown up emotionally. He seemed to be a cool and arrogant person in public, but he always threw childish tantrums in front of her.
Cheng Cheng felt helpless. She was already busy enough at work and now she had to spare some time to deal with these things. She felt a little tired.
In the end, Cheng Cheng decided to take a step back.
She thought to herself, it's been a whole night.
Zhou Yue must have calmed down, so he called him.
After a long beep, the phone was finally picked up.
Although the call was connected, no one spoke on the other end.
Cheng Cheng knew Zhou Yue was making fun of him, so he sneered and spoke first: "I'm sorry, I was delayed yesterday by something important. How about we make another appointment? I'm going to join the crew next month, and I'm busy recently..."
Zhou Yue said coldly: "Do you have time? Sorry, I'm busy recently."
Cheng Cheng: "Then I'll come find you. I also bought you a gift - Hello, hey!" The phone was suddenly hung up.
Zhou Yue angrily threw his phone to the ground.
He got angry when he heard the word gift!
It was clearly his birthday, and he prepared gifts and flowers for his beloved woman, waiting for her to arrive with great joy.
Finally, when it came time, the woman said she couldn’t come!
It would be fine if she didn't come. Although Zhou Yue was disappointed, he also understood her desire to seize opportunities during her rising period.
However, when he took out his cell phone, he saw the news that Cheng Cheng celebrated Zhang Weizi's birthday.
It turns out that he and Zhang Weizi have the same birthday.
It turned out that she didn't remember her birthday at all.
Zhou Yue felt like a clown.
He prepared flowers, a band, delicious food, and beautiful scenery, but they were all given to the air.
And the woman he loved actually left him and went to celebrate her rival's birthday!
Zhou Yue's mood at that moment was indescribable.
It is no exaggeration to say that the sky is falling and the earth is splitting.
Come to think of it, after the misunderstanding was resolved, Cheng Cheng had never taken the initiative towards me.
He was always catching up with her.
It was as if I was something dispensable to that woman, just a little spice in life.
Zhou Yue came to a pessimistic conclusion: Cheng Cheng didn't love him at all.
He also discovered an even more terrifying fact, but even so, he still didn't want to give up on her.
Zhou Yue casually threw the necklace worth one million into the champagne glass and left the restaurant in frustration.
Not long after he left, Cheng Cheng arrived in a hurry.
Zhou Yue was completely unaware.
——————
It took a lot of courage for Cheng Cheng to come to Zhou Yue in broad daylight.
She is now somewhat famous and is occasionally recognized when she goes out shopping. When people know that she is openly appearing downstairs of Zhou Yue's company, rumors are inevitable.
Cheng Cheng has always been cautious in doing things, but he made an exception for Zhou Yue.
The first floor lobby of Galaxy Technology.
The beautiful receptionist pushed her glasses up on her nose and looked at the fully armed masked man with suspicion.
When the masked man spoke, his voice turned out to be very pleasant.
A woman? the receptionist thought.
Cheng Cheng wore a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a silk scarf covering the remaining half of his face in the middle of summer. If he had a hoe in his hand, he could go farming directly.
She placed one hand on the marble tabletop, moved closer to the front desk, and whispered in a low voice, "I'm looking for your CEO Zhou."
Receptionist: "...I need to make an appointment to see Mr. Zhou. Do you have one?"
Cheng Cheng: “No.”
The receptionist said in a businesslike manner, "I'm sorry, I can't let you in without an appointment."
"Could you please make a phone call and tell him to tell me Miss Cheng, then he'll know." Cheng Cheng pleaded in a low voice.
While begging the front desk, she looked around from time to time, fearing that she would be recognized.
You know, her outfit is eye-catching enough.
The receptionist looked at the woman with abnormal behavior and hesitated whether to call the security guard or the secretary.
I still remember a few days ago, a female star came crying and said she wanted to come to Mr. Zhou to apologize or something. The previous receptionist was a fan of that star, so he let her upstairs out of pity. As a result, Mr. Zhou was furious and announced: No one without an appointment is allowed upstairs.
Cheng Cheng begged desperately, and the receptionist finally relented and said, "Let me ask for you."
"Secretary Ji, this is the front desk. There's a Miss Cheng on the first floor who wants to see Mr. Zhou, but she doesn't have an appointment. Do you need to put it up... Oh, Mr. Zhou is in a meeting. Okay, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, the receptionist spread her hands at Cheng Cheng, saying she was helpless: "You heard me, if it's urgent, please wait for me on that day." The receptionist pointed to the sofa reception area at the door.
Zhou Yue had just finished the meeting when Ji Tian said to him, "Mr. Zhou, there's a Miss Cheng downstairs looking for you. Do you know her? If not, I'll—"
"Let her come up." Zhou Yue said, then adjusted his tie facing the glass door.
"Okay," Ji Tian called the front desk.
Zhou Yue suddenly said to Ji Tian, "Take her to my office and wait. I have something else to do."
".......Oh" But you don't have any other plans today. Ji Tian asked Zhou Yue about today's schedule and felt confused but didn't say it out loud.
People were coming and going on the first floor of the company, and some stopped to look at Cheng Cheng because of his strange outfit.
Feeling the gaze of Big Face Brother, Cheng Cheng had never felt so uncomfortable before.
Cheng Cheng covered her face tightly with the scarf. Being treated as a psychopath wasn't scary, but being recognized was.
The receptionist hurried over at this moment: "You're still here, great! Mr. Zhou asked you to come up, please follow me."
The receptionist's attitude became much more attentive, and they opened the CEO's special elevator for her: "Mr. Zhou has instructed you to take this elevator." The receptionist pressed the floor button for her and left.
This is Cheng Cheng's first visit to Zhou Yue's company headquarters.
Although I know that Galaxy Technology is a leading gaming company, it must be very luxurious.
But it was still beyond her imagination.
When we arrived at Zhou Yue's floor, the elevator door opened and a beautiful woman in a suit and skirt stood at the door to greet us.
"Is this Miss Cheng? Please follow me." Ji Tian bowed slightly and extended a hand to lead the way.
"Mr. Zhou is out right now. Please wait here for a moment." Ji Tian said, then poured a cup of coffee for Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng sat on the sofa holding a coffee cup, feeling a little reserved. She looked around the office.
The office covers a large area, with a large desk, leather chair, bookshelves next to it, and a lounge with a closed door.
This should be Zhou Yue’s office.
Cheng Cheng sat and waited very obediently at first.
Zhou Yue didn't come for a long time.
She felt a little bored, so she stood up and walked around to stretch her body.
As he walked, he came to the desk. Looking at the unusually large leather chair, Cheng Cheng thought it must be very comfortable to sit on.
So she sat on it and tried it.
Feeling as if she was sitting on a cloud, she placed her arms on the armrests of the chair and spun several times with her feet touching the ground.
There were several documents on the desk, which were obviously for work. Cheng Cheng had a strong sense of boundaries and didn't touch them. It would be bad if there was chaos.
She scanned the items on the table with curiosity, but her attention was drawn to a brown paper information bag.
It says "XXX Cultural Media Studio" on it.
She exclaimed, "Huh?" Isn't this the famous water army company in the circle?
The information bag was not sealed, and a stack of white document papers was not completely stuffed in, revealing a white edge, and the words "...Contract Agreement" were faintly visible.
Cheng Cheng became curious.
She raised her eyelids, bit her lip, and thought: I can take a quick peek, but I shouldn't be discovered, right?
All departments received a temporary notice: The president on the 22nd floor suddenly decided to inspect the work, please be prepared.
For a while, those who were slacking off at work, those who were working seriously, those who were having office romances, those who were stealing snacks from the tea room...all took action, pretending to be willing to sacrifice their lives for the company, for fear of being seen by President Zhou.
Even the cleaning lady stopped hiding in the bathroom to watch Douyin. She diligently wiped the floor tiles for the hundred and first time, and Xiaoqiang even slipped when he stepped on them.
I thought this would be a massive surprise inspection, a corporate revolution to promote dedicated newcomers and eliminate inactive old employees. Everyone was eager to give it a try.
But who knew that President Zhou would inspect from the first floor to the twenty-first floor in a hurry, causing chaos in the entire company.
He looked at his watch and said, "That's all for today."
Everyone: “…”
It’s really hard to guess what the president is thinking.
Zhou Yue left Cheng Cheng alone for a long time and felt that it was about time, so he decided to forgive her.
She didn't mean it. It was her failure to explain clearly that led to the misunderstanding. Zhou Yue was very good at finding a way out.
They could still have a candlelight dinner today, and then as planned, he would confess his love, and she would agree...
Nothing has changed, it's just a day later.
I am so easy to coax. Zhou Yue shook his head to himself, stood in front of his office door, listened carefully, and found that it was quiet inside.
Is he waiting until he falls asleep?
The air conditioner inside is set to 21 degrees all year round. She must not catch a cold, Zhou Yue thought worriedly.
He pushed open the door and was unexpectedly met with a pair of clear eyes.
In those black and white eyes, there was anger, shock, and disappointment, but no love.
