Chapter 1415: Chapter 1415 – In Modern Day 13

I raise my head subconsciously and glance to the side .

This instantly makes me feel a little uncomfortable .

This isn’t because the other party is a gorgeous beauty, but because she’s CEO Huang’s daughter .

Miss Bernie Huang!

This lady’s eyebrows are straight, her nose high, and she wears a pair of blue-tint colored contacts . Together with her slightly curled hair that she dyed a chestnut color, she has a level of beauty belonging to foreigners .

Seeing her look at me, I instinctively open my mouth to greet her .

Miss Huang?

No, that might bring about negative connotations…

My lady, Miss Huang?

It’s too exaggerated, just like a brainless idol drama…

Madam Huang?

This clearly doesn’t suit a young girl . She’ll get angry…

Teacher Huang?

She’s still a student…

As my thoughts run through my mind, the young lady, Miss Bernie Huang, nods at me .

“Hello . ”

“Hello,” I respond reflexively, using an honorific greeting .

“Is my dad in the office?” Miss Huang asks softly .

“Oh, sorry . I don’t know . I just came back from some work outside . I haven’t stepped into the office yet,” I answer honestly .

Miss Huang nods slightly and doesn’t say anything else because the lift we’re waiting for has already reached the first floor .

As the lift moves up, I try my best to find a topic to prevent the situation from being awkward, but I don’t dare to strike up a random conversation .

CEO Huang treasures his daughter very much . If I were to offend her by saying something wrong, I might be fired today!

“Zhou…” At this moment, Miss Huang turns to look at me and says hesitantly, as if she’s trying to recall my name .

“Zhou Mingrui . ” I hurriedly say my name .

Although Miss Huang often comes to the office to help her mother check on her father, I believe that she definitely doesn’t know a mere employee like me . To be able to have a slight impression of my surname means that her memory is beyond imagination .

“Mr . Zhou, I have something I need your help on . ” Miss Huang asks politely .

“No problem . As long as I can do it!” I reply without hesitation .

As long as Miss Huang is satisfied, a promotion and a pay raise would not be too far away .

As we speak, we exit the elevator and enter the company .

“Help me translate a batch of documents for me . ” Bernie Huang walks in her leather boots as she says .

“Translate… What language is it?” I ask hurriedly .

“Cursive script,” Miss Huang replies simply .

Cursive script… I haven’t learned that before… Just as I’m about to answer, Miss Huang suddenly picks up her pace .

We have already arrived outside CEO Huang’s office .

This lady doesn’t give CEO Huang any face at all . She walks past the female secretary that is stationed outside, nimbly reaching out her hand and pushing open the door gently .

Let’s hope that CEO Huang isn’t spreading his love early in the morning… I silently pray in my heart before taking an indiscernible step to the side in case I get embroiled in CEO Huang’s family matters .

Of course, I’m not that nervous either . After all, CEO Huang is experienced . If he were to do any sordid deeds in the office, he would definitely lock the door from the inside .

As expected, there’s no one in the office .

“CEO Huang is at a meeting . ” The female secretary stands up nervously and tells Miss Huang .

“I’ll wait for him inside . ” Miss Huang nods and walks into the room .

One step later, she turns her head and says, “Mr . Zhou, please come in . ”

“Alright . ” I walk over and quickly say, “I don’t have much knowledge about cursive script . ”

“Take a look first . ” Miss Huang stops by the door and says .

When I enter, she casually closes the door .

Then, she flips her sling bag and takes out a stack of paper .

“Try and see if you can read it . If possible, read it to me . ”

“Okay . ” I take the stack of papers from her .

“…” My whole body turns stiff from that cursory look .

If I’m not wrong, the cursive script on the paper is from CEO Huang!

I’ve seen the comments he had written on documents on several occasions!

Th-this is CEO Huang’s diary? Damn, don’t tell me he writes down every affair? Which decent person writes a diary! I can’t help but sweat .

If I read it, I offend CEO Huang .

If I don’t read it, I offend Miss Huang .

What does it mean to be in a dilemma? This is what it means to be in a dilemma!

Wait, I don’t know cursive script . Haha, I can’t read it! Although I can barely make out what CEO Huang has written, I really don’t know any cursive script! I immediately open my mouth .

“M-Miss Huang, I can’t…”

Before I finish, the office door is pushed open .

Thud!

CEO Huang rushes in and he scans the both of us with his widened eyes .

He retracts his gaze from the gap between me and Miss Huang, and he smiles .

“Bebe, why didn’t you give me a call? I could’ve gone down to bring you up . ”

“I’m already of age . ” Miss Huang glances at me from the corner of her eye . “I’m just making a request to Mr . Zhou for his help . ”

I Immediately understand her intention . Secretly, I pull the documents behind my back .

“Call him Uncle Zhou!” CEO Huang smiles as he emphasizes . Then, he turns his head to look at me . “You may leave . I’ll holler if there’s anything . ”

“Okay . ” I use this opportunity to leave the office and return to my seat, where I hide the papers .

Before I can switch on the computer, Rozanne leans in and says with a suppressed voice, “You’re finished . ”

“Ah?” I stare blankly .

“Don’t you know that CEO Huang dotes on his daughter to the point of having an obsession? He hates seeing other men get close to his daughter the most . During Miss Huang’s past few visits, the men who took the initiative to offer their help have either ‘quit’ or transferred to a branch company at a Tier 3 city,” Rozanne said with a chuckle .

“…It can’t be . I was just in proximity to her . I mainly did so because I wanted to please CEO Huang . ” I grit my teeth from hearing that .

“Tsk, don’t you know what kind of man CEO Huang is? In his eyes, all men are the same as him . If one has money, they’ll definitely be playing around, loving everyone they see—no, making love to everyone they see . If one doesn’t have money, then they’ll seduce the rich and beautiful lady, take up the post of CEO, and elevate themselves to the peak point of life . Therefore, in the eyes of men like you, Miss Huang is the most tempting of prey,” Rozanne said half-jokingly .

“It’s just that… It’s just that Miss Huang asked me for help . I wasn’t playing around at all!” I feel wronged .

“You really weren’t playing around?” Rozanne casually asks .

“Of course . ” I immediately raise my fingers in an oath . “Think about it . To develop and maintain a relationship, you’ll need about two to three hours a day, right? If it’s two relationships, it’ll take four to five hours . There are seven hours for sleep every night, an hour’s nap in the afternoon, nine hours of work, and three meals which add up to an hour . That’s already 18 hours, leaving only six hours left in a day . If I were playing around and tried to two-time, I wouldn’t have the time to play games, watch videos, or read novels! How tiring, how boring!”

“Makes sense…” Rozanne slowly nods before saying with a smile, “Right now, you need a book on time management . ”

Before I can answer, she continues, “But how does CEO Huang manage to ‘N-time’ so many women?”

“He’s different . If it’s just one partner, then he might take one hour out of his two-to three-day schedule to maintain the relationship,” I answer thoughtfully .

Rozanne tersely acknowledges .

“That’s right . CEO Huang is different from us . He’s handsome and rich…”

“Sigh . ” Rozanne and I sigh at the same time .

Rozanne, who’s quite the gossipmonger, suddenly shrinks back .

“Old Ai is here, I’ll be returning to my seat first . ”

Just as Rozanne leaves, CEO Huang’s person-in-charge, the corporate office’s Director Ai appears and stops in front of me .

He’s already old . His hair is completely white, and his face is pale .

“Send everything you need to claim today to finance . You don’t have to receive Mr . Zaratulstra anymore,” Old Ai says to me as I hurriedly stand up .

…No way… They’re firing me already? I’m going to get a month’s severance pay? I’m momentarily stunned .

Old Ai passes me a document and continues,

“Liaise with the members involved in this project . It’s a project the company is working on with the police . ”

Oh… The turn of events is too sudden that I don’t know how to respond .

Realizing that I don’t have to ride with Rosago tomorrow, I have the baffling feeling that it might not be a bad idea .
