Chapter 19：Young Master Mo

When Banxia woke up in the morning, there was nobody around her.

She looked up at the white ceiling and was lost in her thoughts for a few seconds.

She vaguely remembered hearing her alarm clock, but it'd trailed off before she got herself out of bed.

Waking up before five in the morning and leaving the house before six… Chairman Mo really had it tough.

Banxia sighed and got out of bed, and then went downstairs for breakfast. She then received a call from Ling Nian.

"Hello."

She was holding her cell phone with her left hand and stirring the porridge with her right.

"Banxia!"

The voice from the other end was agitated.

Banxia held the spoon in mid-air, shocked by her excitement. "What's going on?"

"What do you mean what's going on? I'm concerned about you!" Ling Nian sounded thrilled. "Tell me, did you find the video after receiving that text message last night? What happened after that? How was Young Master Mo?"

Banxia choked.

Her face went red. "Ling Nian, are you not embarrassed to be calling me and asking about this early in the morning?"

"Ye Banxia, don't you know what I'm doing for you? I'm trying to secure a blissful future for you, and at the same time find a few case studies." She spoke as if she made all the sense in the world. "But hurry and tell me, how was Young Master Mo? He looks so cold and stern usually, but is he ferocious on the bed? Do you feel like he could devour you whole?"

Everyone said that deprived men were the most sensual in bed. They always looked prim and proper, but beneath that skin was a beast.

Banxia's eyelids twitched, and it took everything in her not to hurl her phone aside. She said in a rather unpleasant tone, "He's out on a business trip this morning. He left the house at five, and had to be up at just past four."

It went quiet for a bit on the other side.

"Banxia, do you think Young Master Mo isn't too good at 'it'?"

"… Didn't I just tell you that he's out on a business trip?"

Ling Nian hurriedly lowered her voice and mumbled, "He's out so early in the morning and didn't bother doing anything last night… He might as well have left for the trip last night instead. Don't you tell me that it's a decision he made in the middle of the night."

It wasn't.

Banxia recalled Mo Chenyan telling her about the business trip during dinner last night. He'd probably already known about this earlier at work.

She blinked her pretty eyes and was a little lost.

"Why, did I hit the bull's eye?" Ling Nian sounded so sure of herself. "Banxia, let me tell you this. If Young Master Mo has a condition, you should get him to get treatment early. This concerns your happiness for the rest of your life!"

…

Even after hanging up, Ling Nian's words still rang in Banxia's head. She couldn't chase that thought away.

She laughed to herself and went on to finish her breakfast before heading for the interview.

With the bright and sunny skies, even her spirits seemed to lift.

Every day was a new, hopeful day. Perhaps tomorrow, Hanyan would wake up.

The job position that Banxia was trying for was somewhat like that of a scriptwriter. She'd been keen on this job since she was a child and had pursued this in her undergraduate studies as well. She'd published a few novels as a ghostwriter and the sales were pretty decent. However, it wasn't very good money, and it was more of a hobby than an actual job.

She was very clear that it was difficult for a newbie like her to land such a job in this industry. As such, she tried out at smaller companies and just took it as an attempt.

But the firms either had enough employees or needed someone with prior experience… or just rejected her in her face.

The resume that she'd sent out wasn't getting her anywhere.

Banxia still had not had her lunch at past two in the afternoon. Her feet were starting to hurt from wearing those heels.

She looked at the few company addresses she'd noted down and frowned, before deciding to go to the nearest one for a shot.

Then, her cell phone rang.

It was an unknown caller.

She picked up the phone. It was a female's voice, and she sounded professional. "Hello, is this Miss Ye Banxia?"

"Mm, it's me. Who is this?"

"This is Hua Can Entertainment Company, Human Resources Department. We received your resume two days ago and have read your novel, and we are interested in the content that you've produced. Would you be keen to try it out in our company?"

Try it out?

Banxia was slightly stunned. "I don't have to attend an interview?"

"Well, interviews are usually just a formality, especially for such job roles. We don't actually need to evaluate your social interaction skills that much. With your writing experience and your flair for it, we can make an informed decision already. Moreover, we're training new writers now."

Banxia wasn't very clear about these procedures and simply believed what she'd said.

"Alright, thank you." She smiled.

Hua Can had produced a few good movies over the past two years. Although they didn't make the headlines, they were a decent company in the industry.

"In that case, would you be fine with coming over next week?"

Banxia didn't have to hesitate. "No problem."

…

Hua Can Human Resources Department.

Xiao Zhang hung up and looked at the Manager standing beside her. "Manager, how did I do?"

The Manager nodded. "Not bad, Xiao Zhang. You did a good job, you've got potential."

"Thank you, Manager!"

Xiao Zhang immediately grinned.

"But who is this Miss Ye? She's trying for such a minor job position, but somehow the higher departments of the Mo Firm sent orders to take her in… Is she the Boss' little mistress?"

Hua Can had been bought over by the Mo Firm half a year back. They'd spent the recent months managing the workforce and allocating employees, which explained why they'd been rather low-profile. But suddenly this news came—they were to employ this girl for the most basic job.

"Don't talk rubbish!" The Manager chided.

"I just complimented you, and you're about to make me regret it. How can you say such things? You'd better not get yourself involved in those gossips."

Xiao Zhang's morale suddenly deflated. "I'm sorry, Manager. I've learned from my mistake."

The Manager sighed. "You'd better keep your mouth quiet about this. Don't bring this up to anyone, you understand?"

"Yes, I promise!"
