"No need." "Little Mo is still young. I can think of something about the money myself."
"Alright, then don't try to be brave. If anything happens, just give me a call. I still have some money on me."
An Zhimo smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaoxi."
Xiao Xi was a friend that she grew up with. The two of them were staying here together, but they had already gone to university and were working in an advertising company.
If it weren't for Xi'er's help, she really didn't know how to endure these years.
Xiao Xi also said from the other side, "What's there to thank me for? Come back from Xuncheng with Little Mo, let's eat together."
"Mm. Alright."
The next morning, An Zhimo woke up early and packed her things.
He called Little Mo, but even though he still hadn't woken up, he still listened obediently to his orders.
After hanging up the phone, he swiftly got up and washed his face and changed into his old black professional suit. He wore a pair of thick black-framed glasses and carried his bag as he walked out of the room.
The man's door was shut tight. There was no sound, he must have run away in the morning.
Sometimes Hoachen would tease her and ask her to tie his tie or something. Most of the time, no one would interfere with each other's lives.
An Zhimo would often tell herself not to have unrealistic thoughts about Huo Cheng. After all, he was merely a potential customer who would provide her with an extra monthly living allowance.
It was eight in the morning, and the traffic was heavy.
It was almost nine when she ran all the way to the office.
He ran into the lobby and saw the elevator door slowly closing.
He charged straight in, but because he didn't have enough time to stop the car, he directly crashed into the person inside.
A pained groan sounded out from above her head. An Zhimo hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
An Zhimo slowly raised her head and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes smiling at her.
Zhang Tianhao? Huo Cheng's friend.
"Director Zhang." An Zhimo lowered her hands from her forehead and hurriedly stood up. He wanted to press the button for the elevator, but he found out that the other person was going with him to the 19th floor.
Zhang Tianhao looked at her and smiled. "Are you going to be late?"
There were a total of four boys in the Zhang family. Zhang Tianhao had discovered that he especially liked to tease An Zhi Mo. Although he should have called her sister-in-law, he still viewed her as his younger sister.
An Zhimo glanced at him with a fake smile, but prayed in her heart for the elevator to hurry up. She was really going to be late.
"It's fine if it's too late, it was so sudden and unexpected …" Before Zhang Tianhao could finish his words, the elevator's lights went out with a "ge dong" and stopped mid-air.
"Ah …" With a blood-curdling screech, An Zhimo pressed her back against the wall.
This man was truly a bad and bad person.
The man, who had been teasing An Zhimo by the side, also had a face full of black lines. His mouth really seemed to be open today.
When the elevator was rebuilt, it was already ten o'clock.
As soon as the elevator door opened a crack, she rushed out recklessly and punched in a number for work.
Just as he sat down, the phone rang non-stop.
"An Zhimo."
"What orders does Director Huo have?" An Zhimo's heart abruptly turned cold.
Although Huo Cheng always acted like a popinjay, he did take his work seriously. Whether it was for Huo Jianguo to see or not, no one dared to be late.
"Come to my office." The man's voice was low and emotionless.
"Yes."
He had been caught red-handed today.
He walked dejectedly to the CEO's office. When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Tianhao, who was sitting on the sofa, waving at him with a smile.
"…" An Zhimo walked up to the workbench, saying respectfully, "Director Huo, you were looking for me."
Zhang Tianhao, who was standing at the side, immediately laughed.
Huo Cheng, "…"
An Zhimo, "…"
Huo Cheng gave him a stare before opening his mouth. "You're late?"
How could he remember her leaving the house early in the morning?
An Zhimo lowered her head and stood in front of him for a long while before she finally returned. "I'm sorry, I'll come earlier in the future."
"No, aren't you tired like this?" "I'm not an outsider, so there's no need for you to do this."
The way the two of them went up and down made him stand up involuntarily. He walked up to An Zhimo and supported her by supporting her by the shoulders, explaining for her, "I was the one who took the elevator up here today. Our elevator met with a small accident, which was why she was late."
Huo Cheng stared at his friend's arm keenly and said faintly, "If that's the case, I'll tell Secretary Sun that you're not late today."
"Thank you, Director Huo." It was exactly what An Zhimu had been hoping for.
Huo Cheng lazily leaned back in his chair, and chuckled, "Oh right, I've already told you about the morning meeting. Next up, you'll be replacing Assistant Liu from before to be my special assistant."
"Hmm?" An Zhimo looked at the man in surprise.
Assistant Liu was a top student who had come back from abroad, proficient in many languages and was young and beautiful. He had worked for Huo Cheng for four years.
Previously, she had also taken a leave of absence, and no one had replaced her. This time, it was …
Zhang Tianhao shook her shoulders, "Why aren't you thanking your husband yet?" You're going to get a promotion and a raise, huh. "
Only after a long while did she manage to open her mouth with great difficulty, "Director Huo, I don't seem to be up to the task."
As Huo Cheng's special assistant, he had to have excellent working ability and good appearance. Accompanying him to various banquets.
She knew what she was capable of, and she didn't want to attract the attention of gossip about her sudden promotion.
"I know."
Seeing the man nod in agreement, her heart was very tired, even somewhat in pain.
"But your office is busy right now, and you're the only one who's free. Besides, it was only a month or two. I'll double your salary. "What do you think?"
The man looked at her sharply, as if he were the wolf grandmother who had seduced Little Red Riding Hood.
Double! An Zhimo's eyes lit up. "I'll do it!"
Huo Cheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, you can leave now. Secretary Sun will notify you of the contents of the work."
"Alright." The smile at the corner of An Zhimu's mouth could not be concealed. After bowing respectfully, she left the office in delight.
When An Zhimo walked out of the office, Zhang Tianhao was laughing non-stop, until a stack of documents landed on his face.
"Hey!" Zhang Tianhao pretended to be angry as he looked at Huo Cheng with a resentful expression, "Why are you so evil."
He had clearly wanted to send the person to his side, but he had instead come up with so many excuses.
Huo Cheng frowned. "It's none of your business."
Zhang Tianhao leaned on his desk, slightly narrowing his eyes, "So, why did you call me here this time?"
Huo Cheng raised the cigarette case from the table and took one out. "Do you remember the incident at Hanhua Hotel?"
Zhang Tianhao narrowed his eyes. "The time you were drugged."
Huo Cheng nodded his head. He had just returned from abroad and was very young. He had accidentally fallen into someone else's trap. Although he had run away in time, he had run into a girl.
When he woke up again, he found himself alone. He turned the entire hotel upside down, but there was no news of that person at all.
Zhang Tianhao sighed, "Didn't I check for you at that time? Originally, Wu Guowei wanted his daughter to cook rice with you, but he failed. That day, the woman from the Zheng Family on the same floor was also not in the hotel. You must have met Zheng Qingya from that family."
It was because of this reason that the Zheng Corporation supported Huo Cheng when he took over the company. Cooperation in recent years was even more varied, the purpose being to compensate for the guilt of the past.
And the Zheng family's leap development in recent years was closely related to Huo Cheng's deep support.
"No …" Huo Cheng frowned deeply. "I've seen that Zheng Qingya recently as well. Her attitude doesn't even seem like she has a relationship with me."
