“Qin Chu, since you are worried about Mo Mo always picking on Qi Yan, I have a suggestion. How about you include Mo Mo’s name on a project with Ji Company.”
“Use this as a reason to send Mo Mo out to Ji Company for some time. This way, Mo Mo can no longer interfere at will and hinder you. Over time, she may recognise this reality.”
Ji Heng Yu said lazily.
The words were harbouring a hidden agenda that others wouldn’t know.
The reason was that Qin Chu knew how serious Ji Heng Yu’s gynophobia was. Plus, this proposal sounded like it was really for him to advise and solve his problem.
Therefore, Qin Chu definitely wouldn’t have expected that Ji Heng Yu was interested in Xiang Yi Mo.
Only Ji Heng Yu knew in his own heart that he was saying this because he wanted Xiang Yi Mo to be closer to him.
He wants to…
Verify certain things.
Upon hearing Ji Heng Yu’s words, Qin Chu repeatedly deliberated.
No matter how he thought about it, it was an excellent suggestion.
Although he had an inexplicable uneasiness, he still immediately made the decision and informed the secretary.
Not long after, Xiang Yi Mo received the notice and was stunned.
She was thinking hard about how she should approach Ji Heng Yu next.
After all, gynophobia was something that troubled her.
In the end… Oho, as expected of you, Despicable Male Lead.
He is that very nice aide.
Even though Xiang Yi Mo’s heart was blooming like a flower, on the surface, she was shocked. With a face of disbelief and disappointment, she rushed to the President’s office to argue with Qin Chu.
At this time, Ji Heng Yu had already left for a while.
If he had stayed longer, he might have been able to see Xiang Yi Mo’s next theatrical performance.
The little girl’s eyes gathered moisture. The pair of peach blossom eyes were swimming with tears that were about to overflow. “Elder Brother Chu, why? You are… going to drive me away?”
“Mo Mo, it’s work. I’m not driving you away.”
“Work? Elder Brother Chu, I’m just an intern, aren’t I? You let me take over such a big project….”
She shook as she laughed and sounded like she was crying.
“Mo Mo, you always have to be on your own. Then again, this project’s cooperation is with Ji Company. Ji Company’s chairman is your Elder Brother Heng Yu. He can protect you if anything happens. This is a good opportunity for you to gain exposure.”
The hand holding onto the documents Qin Chu was reviewing stopped, and he said patiently with a tone that it was for her own good.
“But I…”
I clearly have my own family business. I refused that invitation from my father to do an internship at my family’s company. I came to Shangcheng for you. I just want to be closer to you, and I hope you can notice me.
Her glittering eyes appeared to be complaining about something.
Qin Chu wrinkled his eyebrows and averted from her gaze. He might not have understood or perhaps played dumb.
“Xiang Yi Mo, that’s enough! You can go to Ji Company today, right now. If you still want to stay in Shangcheng, you should understand that you must comply with the tasks given by your superiors.”
He coldly decided on it, not leaving the slightest bit of face and room for manoeuvring.
He was utterly determined to make her accept it.
Xiang Yi Mo pursed her lips and silently wiped away her tears. He heard her speak as she suppressed her sadness, “Okay, I understand.”
Before leaving, she gave the man a deep look and only said, “If this is what Elder Brother Chu wants….”
In the operations department, colleagues saw Xiang Yi Mo leave again after entering the office for a short while.
They stared at her face and guessed—
It can’t be that Xiang Yi Mo and President Qin quarrelled again, right?!
To be honest, they are used to it.
Even though that was the case, how long would the young lady return again?
“Miss Xiang, you….”
The operations department director wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xiang Yi Mo, “I’m not. I did not. Don’t speak carelessly.”
“I…” I haven’t said anything yet!
“I know what you want to ask! But this time, it’s really not me. Don’t ask about my return date. I don’t know. I was sent out to Ji Company to engage in that whatsoever cooperation project.”
Let the intern be involved in such a big project?
President Qin has other things in mind, right?
The director of the operations department thought. He looked at Miss Xiang’s distant back and sighed tiredly.
Miss Xiang is now gone. Today’s allocation of Miss Xiang’s work has to be redistributed again.
It’s really a case where the big shots fight while the little demon suffers a calamity.
Xiang Yi Mo stood at the entrance of Ji Company. She looked up at the magnificent Huanyu building.
It was spectacular, and she couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.
As soon as she stepped into the lobby, the receptionist informed her to go to the chairman’s office without needing Xiang Yi Mo to show anything.
Executive Assistant Zhang came down very quickly. Before Xiang Yi Mo could sit down, she saw someone come out of the elevator and walk straight toward her. He pushed the frame on the bridge of his glasses.
“Hello, Miss Xiang. Welcome to Ji Company.”
“My surname is Zhang. I’m the chairman’s executive assistant. I’m here to take you to your future office in Ji Company. Please follow me.”
