Chapter 4
Chapter 4
The Galaxy Building is located in the CBD center of S City, where every inch of land is valuable. It is the headquarters of Zhou Yue’s company, Galaxy Technology.
The president's office is located on the 22nd floor. It is spacious and bright, decorated in white and gray as the main colors. Sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the dark gray carpet, forming a series of light and shadow dividing lines.
At this moment, Zhou Yue was standing in front of a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window overlooking half of the city, thinking with his head down.
"President, this is the document you need to sign today." Chief Secretary Ji Tian knocked gently on the president's office door, and after getting permission, she gently pushed the door open.
Zhou Yue had his back to the door, and from a distance, his broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look like a fashion model.
Ji Tian was wearing high heels and a well-fitting professional suit, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, looking very knowledgeable and capable.
She is 28 years old this year. She has been working as a secretary for Zhou Yue since graduation. She knows Zhou Yue's temperament and character very well. As a young girl of 28, she has to get along with a male boss who is more handsome than a star every day. She should not only try her best to get promoted, but at the very least she should seize every minute to take a few more glances at him and act like a fangirl.
But she is not like that. In the past few years, Ji Tian has already developed the ability to see the essence through phenomena.
Through Zhou Yue's deceptively handsome appearance, you can touch his terrifying soul: a tireless workaholic, an outrageously rigorous person, an extreme perfectionist, and a non-human who has enough energy to work for 24 hours straight without feeling tired.
The reason I don't scold him is simply because he earns nearly six figures a month.
Zhou Yue was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and making a phone call.
While putting the files away, she overheard someone say, "The girl said you're not proactive and not at all active. What's going on?"
"Oh, Mom, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm hanging up. I'm very busy." Zhou Yue said impatiently.
"You are almost thirty and still don't have a girlfriend. How can I not be anxious? If you don't like this blind date, forget it. I have plenty of resources. By the way, your aunt Duan has a beautiful niece who just came back from studying in Country M. You should find time to meet her." Zhou's mother gave a direct order.
"Beep--" The call ended before Zhou Yue could refuse.
Ji Tian appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was full of gossip. She placed the documents gently on the desk, still maintaining a professional and calm demeanor: "Boss, I have marked the documents that require your special attention. The urgent documents are in this pile. I will come to get them later." After that, she left in her high heels.
When closing the door, he deliberately took a sneak peek at Zhou Yue and saw that the man had a frown on his face and looked depressed.
Back in her own separate office cubicle, Ji Tian immediately picked up her phone, switched to a private number, and complained to her bestie.
Super Invincible Sweetie: Honey, do you still remember that perverted boss I complained about? ! ! !
Don’t ice the milk tea: The super handsome and super difficult one?
Super Invincible Sweetie: Yes! ! ! !
Don't ice your milk tea: What happened to him? Did your curse work? Did he choke to death on a chicken bone in a starchy sausage at a roadside stall?
Super Sweetheart: .....You are so humorous, haha.
Super Sweetheart: Our boss is actually on a blind date!!! He's a 24K pure gold bachelor, and he actually needs a blind date. Is that reasonable? Is that reasonable?
Don’t ice the milk tea: What’s wrong with blind dates? Aren’t you also on a blind date?
Super Invincible Da Tiantian: How can we compare? Let me tell you, I doubt he just doesn’t like women. All female creatures that walk upright will be frozen into ice if they get within half a meter of him.
Milk tea doesn't need ice: ...Oh? Could it be that he likes men? I recently read a novel about a CEO and his secretary. Do you have any handsome young male secretaries in your secretarial office? Maybe... Hehe
Super Invincible Sweetie: ...
Super Invincible Da Tiantian: ...Busy, hanging up first.
Zhou Yue was still unaware that his sexual orientation had been discovered by his female subordinates and friends.
After finishing the call with his mother, he did not look through the documents brought by his secretary. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the reception area and picked up his cell phone.
In fact, after the breakup, he has been quietly following Cheng Cheng's news.
After the breakup, he went to the University of Hong Kong for graduate studies, which was far away from S City, but he once looked for opportunities to go to S City to find Cheng Cheng.
When he found Cheng Cheng's dormitory building with the necklace he made himself, he saw a male classmate sending her back to the dormitory. The two of them were sitting shoulder to shoulder, behaving intimately.
The lost Zhou Yue returned to Hong Kong City, where he started a business while studying for a master's degree, and numbed himself with work.
Three years ago, I accidentally learned about Cheng Cheng's debut.
In order to know her movements as soon as possible.
He thought of a way -
Join the fan group.
He applied to several large groups in a row, but was rejected every time.
The reason is that his account was registered recently, the content on his homepage did not meet the entry requirements for the group, and he had no record of spending money.
Just when Zhou Yue was planning to buy some endorsements and apply after a while, a small fan group agreed to his application.
At that time, his company was about to go public, and Zhou Yue was busy with work and didn't pay much attention to it.
When he found the time to check the group chat, he found something wrong.
This group...seems to be a black fan group.
Although the name of the group is indistinguishable from the real thing, called "Cheng Cheng's Die-hard Fan Back Garden", and the names of the group members also contain the word "Cheng Cheng", when you click on the homepage, you will see that it is full of malicious slander and sarcastic insults against Cheng Cheng.
Zhou Yue: ...
I don’t know what he was thinking, he didn’t quit the group immediately, but he didn’t pay much attention to it either.
Later, this group was active for a short time and then became quiet.
It may be that Cheng Cheng really can't find the black spots, or it may be that Cheng Cheng is confused.
After a long time, "Cheng Cheng's loyal fans' back garden [Ghost Face]" has become lively again.
Zhou Yue crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa, browsing the constantly updated news -
Passerby A: Girls, have you heard? It seems Cheng Cheng got rejected from the interview, hahahaha.
Momo (temporarily dropped out of senior year): Hahaha, I can’t sing or dance, and I can’t act either. I’m a complete loser.
Zi Lei Liu Shang: Fortunately, I didn’t become her fan at the beginning. It was really wise.
Are you also in SJ? +1
I'm your dad: +1
End of term lurking (don't clear): @路人甲 Is this true or not? Is the news reliable? Don't let it be fake news that makes us feel disappointed.
Passerby A: It’s true. My sister who works as a makeup artist on the crew said it. Guaranteed authenticity.
Are you also in SJ? Me: Which crew? There are quite a lot of new dramas about to start filming recently.
Passerby A: It seems to be called "Nine Heavens and Mysterious Moon". The director's work "Ancient Times" last year was also a hit. I heard that Jiang Wantong has been confirmed as the female lead. The industry is very optimistic about this film. It has very good resources.
You are also in SJ. Me: Wow, the sponsor has invested a lot of money, and such a good team can be squeezed in [picking nose]
Momo (temporarily quitting high school): If I really put in a lot of money, I wouldn't be brushed off. I'm afraid I'm tired of playing and don't want to support it anymore, hhhhh
Momo (temporarily withdrawing from her senior year): So she’s a complete noob [snickering]
You're also in SJ. I'm like: She got passed over, who was the final character? Does anyone know.
Passerby A: Hahahaha, the actress who was finally cast for the role is Tong Ziqian, does anyone know her? I've never heard of her [laughing and crying]
Laozi steaming is your father: I've heard of her, and I think she's a very hardworking and sincere girl. She performed well in a short play last year, and it can be seen that she has acting skills and the director has good vision (PS: I'm not a fan)
Zhou Yue looked at it, a hint of dissatisfaction showing on his face.
Cheng Cheng auditioned for a minor supporting role, but she was rejected? Is the director blind?
Zhou Yue frowned and typed——
ZY: Who is the director?
No one paid any attention to this strange ID and continued chatting.
And soon they made a major discovery.
Momo (temporarily withdrawing from her senior year): Friends! Call me the God of Microscopes! Look at this photo [Picture]: Cheng Cheng's latest selfie on Weibo, at her home, at night. Pay attention.
Passerby A: What’s wrong?
You are also in SJ Me: What are you looking at?
Final Dive (do not clear): thick.
Momo (temporarily withdrawing from her senior year): Look at her eyes, isn’t that a human figure reflected in her pupils?!
He also posted an enlarged screenshot, and deliberately used a graffiti pen to outline the black outline of the pupil.
Zi Lei Liu Shang: It seems so, he’s wearing black clothes, holy shit! You’re awesome!
Zhou Yue: ...
The frown on his face changed from one that could pinch a fly to one that could pinch a bee to death.
There is still heated discussion in the group.
Zi Lei Liu Shang: I would like to make a bold guess that Cheng Cheng may have become obscure because his relationship was discovered by his sponsor.
Zhou Yue listened to everyone's speculations and traced the enlarged photo with his slender fingers.
Squinting his eyes:........the more I look, the more similar they are.
Like a tall man.
Zhou Yue felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Who is it? He squinted his eyes hard, trying to piece together an image from the blurry pixels.
Unfortunately, the image was too blurry and failed.
In short, he looks like a tall and thin man in black clothes.
Cheng Cheng's taste is so bad, he likes a bamboo pole?
With a little unknown bitterness in his heart, Zhou Yue made a harsh conclusion.
Everyone in the group was talking at once, and things were getting more and more outrageous.
All the talk about keeping a sugar daddy and young handsome guys came out, which made Zhou Yue even angrier. He found that no one had responded to his questions.
He sent a red envelope of one thousand yuan with an expressionless face.
ZY: Let me ask again, who is the director?
The chat in the group suddenly stopped, as if they were stunned by the large amount of the red envelope, and then they tried their best to grab the red envelope.
.......
The lurkers popped up one after another, and in less than a minute, all twenty red envelopes were snatched away.
The final lucky winner remained silent. Looking at the suddenly rising figure in his wallet, he enthusiastically told the idiot: "The director is Miao Hongzhi, very famous. You never watch TV dramas, don't you? That's okay, how about you play games? Do you know 'Mo Wu Qian Kun'? He was hired to shoot the promotional video for this year's new season. The special effects and storyline are amazing."
ZY: Got it, thank you.
You're welcome, rich man. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. It would be even better if you pay a little consulting fee, hehe.
Zhou Yue: Haha.
He was very familiar with "Mo Wu Qian Kun", which was one of the trump cards of Galaxy Technology. At this moment, the R&D budget for the new quarter of "Mo Wu Qian Kun" was still on his desk.
Zhou Yue thought for a while, then picked up the phone and made a call.
After a while, the deputy director of operations came in with an uneasy look on his face.
"Boss, you're looking for me?"
"I remember that you were responsible for the promotion of Mo Wu Qian Kun, right?" Zhou Yue said in a deep voice.
".....Yes." The deputy director of the operations department hesitated for a moment and answered.
"Do you know Miao Hongzhi?"
"I know him. We asked him to shoot the promotional video for the new season, and the response was very good."
"Yeah," Zhou Yue nodded after hearing this, "Please help me make an appointment with Miao Hongzhi, as soon as possible."
"Okay, President, I'll do it right away."
The deputy director agreed and breathed a sigh of relief. Normally, only directors were qualified to report to the president's office. When he suddenly received a call from the secretary, he thought he was going to be scolded.
After the deputy director left, Zhou Yue turned the large leather chair and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously. Suddenly, the rhythm of his knuckles tapping on the marble stopped. He picked up his mobile phone, found a number, and dialed it.
“Beep, beep…”
The phone rang for a while before it was connected. A lazy male voice, with some lingering lust, said, "What's wrong, brother? You're calling so early."
So early?
Zhou Yue checked his watch: "...Lu Jinyu, it's noon."
The other end didn't care: "You know I'm active at night and I sleep during the day. It's only early morning for me now."
Zhou Yue: “…”
In the presidential suite of a six-star hotel in S City, the blackout curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dim. A ray of light shone through the gap in the curtains onto the messy bed, giving off a sense of confusion.
Lu Jinyu pushed away the woman he couldn't name who was clinging to him, put on his shirt, stood up, fiddled with his lighter casually, and said playfully: "You woke me up in the early morning, tell me, what's the urgent matter you need from me, brother?" He took a deep puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly.
Lu Jinyu is Zhou Yue's good friend and the young master of the Lu Group. Unlike Zhou Yue who started from scratch, he relies on the fact that he has a capable brother who inherited the family business. He only has a nominal position in the group and spends his days doing nothing but indulging in women.
Zhou Yue: "Do you know an expert in photo identification? I have a photo and I'd like to have it identified by a professional."
Lu Jinyu didn't ask what to do, and agreed without hesitation: "No problem, send me the photos, when do you want the results?"
"The sooner the better, thank you."
Zhou Yue didn't want others to recognize Cheng Cheng's face, so he cropped the photo and only left an enlarged version of the eyes and sent it to Lu Jinyu.
"Help me find out if the person in these eyes is a man or a woman. If possible, help me find the man."
Zhou Yue sneered: ...
He wanted to see who that man was.
Friends rarely ask for help from him, so Lu Jinyu rarely became serious: "Why are you being so polite to me? Let's wait for the news."
Lu Jinyu is very efficient when he gets things done seriously.
There was news in less than a day.
Zhou Yue picked up the phone with great anticipation, but was greeted with a scolding from his friend.
"Zhou Yue, when you had a fever as a child, your aunt must have waited until the rain stopped before going to the hospital."
Zhou Yue was confused: "...what?"
Lu Jinyu gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I can't find that man."
Zhou Yue felt a little disappointed, but he knew his friend must have tried his best: "...It doesn't matter, if you can't find it, then that's it—"
"Because it's a fucking lamp!!!"
"Beep, beep, beep--" Zhou Yue held the hung up phone, looking confused.
After a few minutes, he laughed.
