"Little Sun. Haven’t you finished work? Why are you back? Didn’t finish your work?"
Han Ning asked without raising her head because she knew that usually, only the two of them worked overti in this departnt, while others seldom did.
Suzhou looked around, and there was no one else nearby, just Han Ning in the company.
Is this little girl working overti here?
"Why? Haven’t you finished your work yet? It’s this late already, shouldn’t you be going ho to see your grandma?"
Suzhou suddenly spoke. Han Ning heard sothing odd in his tone and got startled, spilling her coffee on her clothes.
At this hour, shouldn’t the boss not be here?
How co he’s here?
Suzhou saw Han Ning’s surprised expression; why, shouldn’t he be able to co and go from his company as he pleases?
"What, you seem a bit unwelcoming. What’s the matter, feeling guilty? Co on, did you do sothing against the company?" Suzhou joked.
He knew the little girl before him had co over secretly to work overti. Indeed, the company’s business was quite challenging for soone who’s not a professional.
"Ah, no, no, Chairman, don’t misunderstand. My work isn’t finished yet, and I don’t want our project to fall behind schedule, so I ca over to work during the holiday. I didn’t an anything else; please don’t think too much."
With that, Han Ning quickly bowed her head back to work.
After all, the big boss isn’t soone you provoke easily.
"Alright, I understand. You go ahead and work overti here; I’ll be inside. If anything cos up, you can call directly."
Han Ning nodded. It turned out her boss was kind in his own way, sothing she hadn’t noticed before.
Oh well, better not overthink it. A person like the boss probably has a fiancée or sothing. They are in completely different leagues.
What am I daydreaming about?
Han Ning patted her own face and focused back on her work. This job was hard-earned, and she had to do it well.
Throughout the office, the sound of keyboard typing filled the air.
Han Ning, engrossed in her work, didn’t realize it was late and that she’d missed dinner ti.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was the alarm she set, reminding her to put her work down for so relaxation ti.
If she were ho, Han Ning would certainly be binge-watching dramas or sothing.
But for now, it was better to fill her belly; nothing was more important than eating.
She tidied up her desk, ready to go out for dinner. Just then, she noticed that the light in the boss’s office was still on.
Turns out, the hardest worker in the company was him.
Knock, knock, knock, Han Ning knocked on the office door, knowing Suzhou was surely inside.
"Boss, it’s so late already. Why don’t we head ho first? After all, health is the most important thing, right?"
Han Ning knew that long hours of overti were unhealthy.
She thought she could persuade Suzhou, but unexpectedly, this man who normally didn’t talk much was quite chatty today.
"What, have you finished all the work I gave you? It’s still early; don’t you know as an employee you can’t leave when the boss hasn’t left?"
Suzhou said with a straight face.
Unbeknownst to him, Han Ning was even more baffled inside. Wasn’t today the Double Ninth Festival, a holiday? Why was he talking about overti?
Could it be her boss forgot, which was possible given how busy he usually was?
Suzhou saw Han Ning fall silent and went quiet himself. Honestly, he didn’t know why he was acting differently today. He just didn’t want Han Ning to leave early, hoping she would stay here with him for a while, even if they did nothing.
Moreover, he was the Sect Leader of the company; everything must follow his decisions, right?
But this ti, he had really dug himself a huge hole.
"Boss, I know what you’re saying is right, but I want to say that today is the Double Ninth Festival. Didn’t you give us a day off? So, do you think I can skip overti today?"
Han Ning had originally planned to go ho today.
To head ho early and accompany her grandma. She hadn’t expected Suzhou would not let her off work, which left her feeling puzzled.
"Ahem, yes, but since you ca to work overti already, why don’t I leave, and do you think you can leave early?"
Indeed, there’s so truth to what Suzhou said.
How could an employee leave early if the boss hasn’t left?
Seeing this, Han Ning realized she couldn’t leave early and could only wait until her big boss left to go ho herself.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have co to work overti today. What was she thinking?
Why pick the Double Ninth Festival to work overti?
"Hmm? What are you muttering over there? Speak up and share it with ?"
If her big boss found out she was cursing him, how could she keep her job in this company? Seriously.
"Ah, no, nothing, Boss, don’t overthink it. I was just saying you look good."
Suzhou knew Han Ning wasn’t complinting him. He could tell from her lip movents just now.
Han Ning was well aware.
So, Han Ning returned to her original work position. Initially, she didn’t plan to work, instead took out her phone and started flipping through TikTok. Isn’t it nice?
However, within a few minutes of playing with her phone, Suzhou noticed. It was a bit awkward, but Suzhou wasn’t much older than her — didn’t he play TikTok too?
At this mont, Han Ning was racking her brain for excuses to shirk responsibility.
If her boss found out she didn’t want to work and was here playing on her phone, how else could he know?
"Boss, I just lost my inspiration, so playing with my phone for a bit isn’t too much, right? Besides, I wasn’t doing anything, just played a bit on my phone."
Han Ning knew that no matter how much she explained, it was no use since Suzhou had personally caught her playing with her phone.
More explanations wouldn’t be believed. Seeing Suzhou standing silently by her side, she got even more anxious.
What should she do now?
"Boss, I really wasn’t intentionally playing with my phone. It was just a little entertainnt. Please don’t get mad. Besides, getting angry over soone like isn’t good, right?"
