Nangong Yang nestled in Huang Puchen’s arms, "Back then, I really felt so silly."
Huang Puchen squinted at her, "What did you say? Silly back then?"
Nangong Yang curled her lips slightly, "Yeah, why was it chasing you back then and not you chasing ?"
Huang Puchen raised his hand and his long fingers ran through her hair, "If you hadn’t taken the initiative, there wouldn’t have been anything between us later on."
The things that happened later...
Nangong Yang lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Sotis I wonder, if that incident hadn’t happened back then, would Lin Zhong still be alive and would Han Wanwan be different now?"
Huang Puchen’s eyes darkened, and he tightened his hold on Nangong Yang, "All those things are in the past, and now we’re all fine."
Nangong Yang lowered her gaze, "Is it really all in the past? The matter from back then hasn’t been clarified. Do we just let Lin Zhong die so inexplicably?"
She sat up, looking at Huang Puchen with serious eyes, "If only you had been there when the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace took Lin Zhong away."
Huang Puchen sighed helplessly, "Alright, it’s all over now, and Han Wanwan is doing well too."
Nangong Yang pouted, "Doing well? Her family is even bringing up old childhood marriage promises to get her married. Luckily, Young Master Yuwen didn’t agree; otherwise, Wanwan wouldn’t be able to refuse."
Huang Puchen looked at her with suspicion, "When did this happen?"
"Just a while ago. Ever since Han Wanwan beca a star, she hasn’t had any scandals, and it’s all because of Chu Ge..."
Nangong Yang didn’t want to recall those things, so she stopped herself from saying anything more and grabbed Huang Puchen’s hand, saying, "By the way, do you rember that ti? The ti when I went to work at your headquarters."
That was when I stood under the Huangpu Group building, chickening out at the entrance, not daring to go in!
Once I got my breath under control, I thought, I, Nangong Yang, fear nothing, and working here was no big deal! Would Chairman Zhang eat ? We had an agreent!
Ready, let’s go in!
"Hello, please show your ID!" the security uncle stopped .
Hey, here cos my temper, after standing here all this ti without asking for it, you choose to ask now that I’ve prepared myself to go in?
"I don’t have one."
I just got here; there’s no ID to speak of!
I watched as others scanned sothing at the door, so hoping for the best, I pulled out my ID card and swiped it. Can I get in now?
"Please show your ID." The security uncle stopped again.
No chance to sneak through? Dude, if you don’t let in, I’ll be late!
I saw a movie not long ago where won who act coy were loved by n, so maybe...
"Oh, co on, man, I was in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring it. Just this once, okay?" I finally managed to squeeze the words out after holding it in for so long.
But it seed the security guy wasn’t impressed, still keeping a poker face.
This was sothing I practiced for weeks to use on Huang Puchen! And here it failed.
Like soldiers instructed by Chairman Zhang!
Looking at the ti, I’d be late anyway. So should I just wait it out?
Just then, an elegant man walked out of the building, "Nangong Yang?"
What a familiar voice. I turned around to look, "Su Ke!"
I jumped up in excitent, "Su Ke, what are you doing here? Long ti no see, how have you been?"
"I’m doing well. My wife is here on a business trip, and since I’m free, I ca along to accompany her."
Wife?
"You’re married? Is it that foreign girl?"
"Yes," Su Ke nodded happily.
"What are you doing here? Waiting for Huang Puchen?" Su Ke asked.
"I ca here to work. It’s my first day, and without any ID, they won’t let in!" I said, glaring at the security guy.
The security guy had been staring at since Su Ke ca out. I asked sarcastically, "Do I really look like so celebrity?!"
Why else would you keep staring at !
"Are you Miss Nangong Yang?"
"Yes!"
"Chairman Zhang instructed that if you arrived, you’re to go directly to her office."
Now that you’ve been instructed, why not let in earlier? Deliberately trying to make late! Hmph!
I walked angrily into the building, noticing how its decoration matched my previous company. The walls were adorned with poetry and songs! That company was also under Huang Puchen!! No wonder after submitting my resu, they called within two days to start. It was Huang Puchen again, making feel warm inside. Hehe, having a boyfriend is great!
...
Standing before Chairman Zhang’s desk, I swallowed, "Hello, Auntie."
"Call Chairman Zhang in the company from now on."
"Yes."
"I don’t like employees who aren’t punctual!"
"That’s because..." Because you have a great security guard!!
"Why did you stop talking?"
"I’m late anyway, so go ahead and penalize if you have to."
Fine, the security guy was just doing his job; I couldn’t really bla him. Chairman Zhang eyed with interest, and even if the security guy wasn’t wrong, the expression on Chairman Zhang’s face suggested she deliberately instructed him not to let in! An open declaration of war! Starting on my first day? Trying to make retreat in defeat? Not happening!
The company is so big, and walking down the halls, you don’t see a soul. Every office door is closed. Small companies are better; though there aren’t many people, you always see soone around.
The secretary in front of smiled, but it was like the smile was fixed to her face, unnatural. Without saying a word, she headed straight for the finance departnt.
"Minister, this is Miss An Yang," the secretary introduced.
The handso man in his early thirties sized up, "I see, thank you, Secretary Li. Would you like a drink?"
"I’m at work, thank you." With that, she turned and left, leaving with the minister.
I chuckled quietly, unappreciated!
"An Yang!" Oh no, busted.
"Yes!" I imdiately put on a compliant deanor.
"Co, let show you to your desk."
Alright, following the minister eagerly, I wondered what kind of colleagues I’d be working with.
Minister, are you kidding ? Weren’t you taking to the office? Why are we at the break room? Are leaders nowadays so attentive to employees, even coming to pour water themselves?
"You’ll be responsible for the cleanliness here from now on!"
What! Cleaning! ! I protest!
"Don’t give that disobedient look. Everyone joining Huangpu Group has real talent. I can’t have foreign-educated talents doing this, can I?"
"Minister, has anyone ever told you your voice sounds quite effeminate?"
