《美滋滋》Ch66.2

During the meal, Lu Hao found that although President Sun was enthusiastic about Li Zhao, he was very considerate and wouldn’t create any bad associations. For those who had been in high positions for a long time, this type of situation showed that he respected Li Zhao to the point of flattery.
Lu Hao glanced silently at Li Zhao, who was eating the free fruit plate from the restaurant.
Schrodinger’s background.
Li Zhao’s phone rang and the talking President Sun immediately stopped all movements.
“I’m sorry.” Li Zhao apologized to the two people and connected the call while heading to the bathroom. President Sun vaguely heard Li Zhao call the other person on the phone as ‘Ting Ting.’
Clatter.
The chopsticks in President Sun’s hand fell against the edge of the bowl and made a shrill sound.
“My hand slipped.” President Sun smiled politely but the hand holding the cup was trembling.
Lu Hao was unclear but President Sun knew who this ‘Ting Ting’ was who called. Mr Ting took the initiative to call, showing how close the two of them were in private.
Some time ago, he heard that Mr Ting moved into the villa where he lived when he was young but the news hadn’t been confirmed. It wasn’t until he watched Seclusion Mountain Forest a few days ago that he found the place where Li Zhao lived was the same as the place where it was rumoured Mr Ting was now living. If he couldn’t guess the relationship between the two people then all the years he had lived had been in vain.
The mysterious and indifferent Mr Ting actually had such a good relationship with an entertainer of Strawberry Entertainment. He was naturally firmly covering up this news and stealthily being happy under the covers. Too many people wanted to hold onto Mr Ting’s thighs. President Sun leaned on Li Zhao and finally saw the dream of being a thigh pendant.
“I’m eating outside with President Sun and Mr Lu Hao.” Li Zhao reported his itinerary. “Have you eaten?”
“Okay.”
“I’ll pick you up in the evening.”
Li Zhao hung up and returned to the dining table. “I’m sorry, my friend’s phone call has delayed everyone’s time.”
“It’s fine. We’re eating in private and there is no need to be polite.” President Sun smiled more enthusiastically. “Is your friend looking for you? If you are in a hurry then I will ask Cao Jia to drive you over.”
“It’s okay. He is still working at the company. I will pick him up from work later in the afternoon.” Li Zhao picked up his chopsticks. “Shall we continue to eat?”
“Yes, let’s eat.” President Sun nodded.
Lu Hao and Li Zhao had been in the same crew for months and were already familiar with each other. He saw Li Zhao calling this person by a nickname and also picking them up from work, so he couldn’t help asking, “Zhao Zhao, are you in love?”

Falling in love at such a young age was bad for his career. If it was someone else, he would be too lazy to persuade them in case he offended people but Li Zhao was different. “Zhao Zhao, you are still young. You shouldn’t think about things like falling in love too early.”
"Cough cough cough cough!" President Sun covered his mouth and coughed desperately. He gazed at Lu Hao with a bit of panic and anxiety.
'Lu Hao, I advise you to have a stronger desire to survive, if your words today reaches Mr Ting's ears then someone will die.'
“President Sun, are you okay?” Lu Hao saw that President Sun was coughing and his cheeks were flushed. Lu Hao stopped caring about persuading Li Zhao and reached out to pat President Sun’s back.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” President Sun smiled. “Teacher Lu, our company doesn’t interfere with the private life of artists. It is okay to fall in love.”
Lu Hao, “???”
As the boss of an entertainment company, was it appropriate for him to say such a thing? Was this right considering his identity?
“But I think…”
“It is fine as long as Zhao Zhao feels it fits.” President Sun turned to look at Li Zhao. “Am I right?”
Li Zhao, “???”
What was he right about? Li Zhao nodded blankly. No matter what the boss said, just clap and agree.
Lu Hao glanced between Li Zhao and President Sun and started to think about Strawberry Entertainment, a first-class large company in the industry. The boss supported young artists to fall in love? This company was poisonous.

Cang Huan’s employee benefits were excellent and there was enough time for a meal at lunch. As a newcomer from a branch company, Zhu Xia had never had the opportunity to access important company documents.
In fact, it wasn’t just her. The other two interns who had come to the company for a month or two didn’t have access to core documents.
She could understand. It was such a large company that any decision that went wrong might bring great shock to the business community.
“Sister Xia.” An old employee put a folder on Zhu Xia’s desk, “Print this document immediately and carefully check the data. Then go upstairs with me to give it to the secretariat in half an hour.”
Zhu Xia took the document. This was the new product planning plan from her previous branch company. After quickly checking the data, Zhu Xia went to the printing room.
“Sister Xia.” Wei Tian followed behind her. “Do you need my help?”
“It’s fine, there are many materials to print.” After the documents were printed, Zhu Xia picked them up. Seeing Wei Tian still standing at the door, she smiled and asked, “Have you finished your work?”
“I’m an intern and I don’t have a lot of work to do.” Wei Tian looked at Zhu Xia enviously. “Although Sister Xia transferred from a branch office, your working ability isn’t inferior to that of the head office.”

“What head office and branch office? Everyone working together are colleagues.” Zhu Xia took the last piece of information and placed them in a file box. “Your internship period is about to end. Rest assured, with your ability, the assessment results will definitely be good.”
“Thank you.” Wei Tian glanced at the tightly-closed file box and turned back to her seat.
Zhu Xia, this old woman, was simply a wily old fox in the office. She didn’t leak water when working and there was no chance at all for Wei Tian to access the core data.
Once Wei Tian left, Zhu Xia quickly organized the documents and walked to her colleague’s side. “The documents are ready.”
“Come up with me.” Her colleague held the pile of information and whispered, “It has been more than a week since you came to the head office. You haven’t gone upstairs yet?”
Zhu Xia shook her head.
“I’m telling you, this place has a very serious taboo and you need to remember her.” Her colleague’s voice was almost inaudible. “Don’t call the big boss Mr Xu in front of him.”
“Why?” Zhu Xia was puzzled. Wasn’t the boss’ last name Xu?
“We don’t know. It seems to be related to his childhood.” Her colleague shook her head. “In any case, just remember not to call him Mr Xu.”
“What do people usually call him?”
“It’s okay to call him Boss or Mr Ting.” Her colleague pressed the elevator button and whispered in Zhu Xia’s ear. “I heard that Special Assistant Qin and the others in the secretariat all call him Sir.”
Looking at the light shining in the elevator, Zhu Xia suddenly felt that the head office seemed to be a game of chess that couldn’t be solved. It was full of mystery everywhere.
The elevator reached the floor of the chairman’s office. She looked at the miserable white light in the corner and the bright floor. Then she subconsciously held her breath and stiffened. Here, she couldn’t feel any vitality. It was as if there were no living people on the entire floor. It was so quiet and scary.
“Are you here to deliver some documents?” A woman with neat hair in a professional suit came out of the office. She glanced at Zhu Xia and took the file box from her hand. “You were transferred from a branch. Are you a new colleague?”
Zhu Xia glanced at her badge and saw she was part of the secretariat. “Yes.”
“Welcome to the head office and I hope you have a good day at work.” The woman’s mouth curved, her smile so standard that not a single flaw could be found.
“Thank you.” Zhu Xia thanked the woman and was about to leave with her colleagues when she heard footsteps coming from the end of the corridor.
“Sir, the Cangshi watch sales are excellent and the market evaluation is very high…”
Zhu Xia looked up and saw Special Assistant Qin following behind a man with a very respectful attitude.
Then once she saw the man’s face, her knees were so soft that she almost knelt on the cold floor.
“What’s wrong with you?” Her colleague realized something was wrong and reached out to hold her arm.
“My knees are a bit soft.” Sister Xia didn’t want her legs to be soft but they weren’t listening to her.
The secretary frowned. What was going on with Zhu Xia? Before entering the head office, the individual’s comprehensive ability score was very high. How could Zhu Xia have this reaction when seeing the boss?
The moment the door was pushed open, Yan Ting suddenly stopped and turned to look at the end of the corridor. Across the brightly lit corridor, he met Zhu Xia’s eyes.
Zhu Xia’s body shook and she barely stood firm by supporting herself against the wall. There must be something wrong in this world. Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing?
“Sir?” Qin Xiao saw Yan Ting stop without warning and have an obvious emotional reaction. Looking down, he saw only two staff from the assistant department and the staff of the secretariat.
This Zhu Xia, was there something wrong? It shouldn’t be. He had checked Zhu Xia’s identity thoroughly. Her background was clean and her working ability was very strong. The most important thing was that her character was excellent.
After growing up in a welfare home and entering a prestigious university, she gave back to the welfare institution that raised her. There were no suspicious places and no intersection with the boss.
Yan Ting stood in front of the door for a few seconds before turning and walking in Zhu Xia’s direction.
Zhu Xia, a hard-working and brave student who graduated from a prestigious university. At this moment, she finally realized what it meant by the wind was roaring, the horse was calling and her mind was roaring.
How could Zhao Zhao’s boyfriend by the mysterious and cold boss? A relocated household tyrant, how could he become a big boss? Had she crossed into a reverse drama?
Zhu Xia thought about how she had given the boss an 8,000 yuan envelope and felt she was really powerful. She was going to heaven!
The sound of the footsteps got closer. Yan Ting stopped in front of Zhu Xia.
The atmosphere was so still that it was hard to breathe.

The author has something to say:
Baby Zhao Zhao ran a long way to buy cotton candy for Baby Ting Ting: This sweet marshmallow, you have on and I’ll have one. Is it sweet?
Baby Ting Ting nodded: Sweet.
Sister Xia: A bright and righteous person speaks the truth and doesn’t meander. I want to jump into the water and swim.

Chronicles of Rathia - The Era of Blood
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rathia. Contained within is a trilogy of stories which are all set in different time periods and with different characters. Each story has its own era from The Era of Blood, The Era of Magic and The Era of Demons. Read along the first in the series which is The Era of Blood where magic is still in an infant stage and where swords can dominate the battle field. In The Era of Blood, you follow along the first main character who had his memories wiped clean except for the most basic things in life. It is up to him to find out how to get his memories back and why they are gone. (If you don't like the story layout or characters, I suggest either just reading through or wait till the next one in the series is being released. With how it's set up, you can enjoy any of the three in the trilogy but of course reading in order will help give a better understanding of the world.) (Side authors note - I'm currently reworking the first several chapters as they are lacklustre to myself since they were originally a draft and not concrete at first. This note will stay here until all the chapters I wanted to fix up are done.)
