"I'm sorry, our general manager hasn't come to work yet." Qi Yu's secretary said apologetically.
An An secretly glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already half past ten and the general manager hadn't come to work yet? This company is about to collapse!
He thought sadly.
"Then when will he come?"
The secretary shook his head helplessly, "That's not necessarily true."
The general manager is like this, he comes when he wants and not when he doesn't want to. Moreover, the company's performance has been bleak recently. Even her secretary wants to resign. However, the general manager is a very nice person and generous, and he never harshly treats his subordinates.
The year-end bonus was huge, enough for her to send her daughter to an aristocratic school, and she could even take home coffee and delicious food from the pantry. The benefits were great, so she continued to persevere.
However, looking at the current situation, she can't hold on for much longer. After all, she is a senior secretary who has been working for almost 20 years. Now she can only stare at the wall in a daze every day. She doesn't have a single customer and doesn't take any orders.
It’s really unreasonable!
Hey, the company has been in such a miserable state recently, otherwise she wouldn't be so bored as to talk to this kid for so long.
Of course, this kid was so good-looking that she unconsciously wanted to talk more about him as she had wanted to have a son when she was young.
An An thought about it for a moment, and since she was already here, let's wait a little longer. Although this company seemed unreliable, it was at least an opportunity.
"Then kid, can you wait in our general manager's office?" the secretary invited.
The corner of An An's mouth twitched slightly. This company doesn't even have a reception room? Just let the customers wait in the general manager's office? Is it too poor or too enthusiastic?
"Haha, our general manager is very talkative, thoughtful and enthusiastic, just go into his office!" The cleaning staff in the reception room has been leaving for three days, and they haven't hired a new person yet. Even the cleaning staff can tell that this company has no
What a future!
"Okay, thank you." An An nodded and followed the secretary in.
An hour later, it was almost the closing time for other normal companies, and Qi Yu finally came.
He was hungover last night and wanted to catch up on his sleep in the morning. Who knew that guy Ah Heng called and woke him up and said a bunch of incomprehensible words that made him feel dumbfounded!
Are you kidding me? How could he have a son? That guy Ah Heng must be insane!
"General manager, you have a child client in your office who has been waiting for a long time." The secretary reported immediately.
"Children?" Qi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Has the company reached this point? Has it reduced itself to the point of having to discuss business with children?
That’s all, gods come to greet gods, ghosts come to greet ghosts, just hold on for one day!
"I understand, let's bring some snacks in to entertain you." The visitor is a guest!
"It's already been delivered." The food in the company's pantry is really nothing to say, all of it is imported food!
"Yes." Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction and strode into the office.
As soon as the door opens, the whole world becomes mysterious.
"Hello, uncle, I am..." An An just wanted to introduce herself, but the rest of her words stopped abruptly.
This general manager looks so familiar? It seems like...Wu You?
Yes, he looks like Wu You! Oh, no, Wu You looks like him!
An An quickly located his location in his mind and determined that this person was definitely Wu You's father!
This world is really small. He and Wu You just talked about this topic in the morning.
Qi Yu was also a little confused. Why did this kid look so familiar? It seemed like... Ah Heng?
Damn it, no way? Retribution is so quick?
He just said in the morning that if A Heng also has a ten-year-old son, then he...
"Uh... kid, what's your name? How old are you this year?" Qi Yu asked anxiously.
An An blinked and deliberately concealed it and said, "My name is An Rui. I am 11 years old this year."
He deliberately concealed his surname and made his age older.
Qi Yu's heart suddenly dropped when he mentioned it in mid-air, it turned out not to be the case!
That is to say, didn’t Mint abort the child back then? Otherwise, Ah Heng would not have become like this. He would go crazy thinking about the child!
However, this child really looks like Ah Heng, six to seven points!
It's just that the age is wrong. Even if Mint gave birth to the child successfully, the child should be less than 10 years old, not 11 years old.
China has a really large population, but the phenomenon of face-colliding is so serious!
Qi Yu thought coquettishly, and then quickly squeezed out a smile, "Sit down, kid, tell me, why did you come to our company?"
An An hesitated. His original intention was to persuade the company to invest in him and help him turn the manuscript into animation, but now the identity of the general manager... Well, forget it, he can't betray Wu You, he
You know, Wu You is just like him, as long as he has a mother, it is enough.
Moreover, Wu You told him about the scene in the square in the morning, and the general manager looked at him strangely. Based on the above two points, his father and Wu You's father must have known each other, so he couldn't be exposed even more.
identity!
"It's nothing, I'm just a fan of anime. I'm very interested in this aspect and want to come in and have a look. Uncle, can I just take a look?"
"Of course, I'll ask the secretary to take you there!"
"Thank you, uncle." An An successfully kept her secret.
"You're welcome." Qi Yu showed his white teeth.
After seeing An An off, he immediately picked up his cell phone and called Guan Shouheng, "Ah Heng, let me tell you something. I just met a kid who looks like you, six to seven points like him..."
Of course Guan Shouheng didn't believe it. This person clearly "retaliated" after waking up, so he replied with two words, "Boring!"
He hung up the phone directly.
***
It’s lunch break time again, and Mint is once again on fire.
"Miss Bo, Mr. Guan said that you will handle the related work of the art exhibition hall." Guan Shouheng's dog-legged assistant came to inform again.
Mint grinded his teeth secretly. He should just give her special problems. She is not an art major, so it would be quite difficult to deal with this aspect!
Although she is only responsible for translation and does not have to be responsible for the design of the exhibition hall, there are many professional words in art that she does not understand at all. If she uses the wrong word, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will she be embarrassed, but she will also be embarrassed.
The entire expo was a source of laughter.
"Is there an art painter or exhibition hall manager? Can I communicate with them?"
"Mr. Guan didn't mention this aspect." The implication is that it's up to you!
hateful!
This was clearly a domineering clause. He deliberately threw the most difficult questions to her and bullied her maliciously, but she couldn't resist and could only accept it?
She took a deep breath, tried to stay calm and said to her assistant, "I don't know much about art. Please go back and tell Mr. Guan, can you give me the information and contact information of the relevant personnel?"
"Mr. Guan said that he believes in Miss Bo's ability. He said that you are a doctoral student at the University of Toronto, and it should be a piece of cake for you to do these jobs."
She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone!
He clearly did it on purpose. How could he let the translator get into trouble on his own?
Moreover, there was something in his words. When he asked her to be in charge of the art exhibition hall, was he secretly reminding her of her grandmother's art exhibition back then?
The night of the art exhibition was the night that changed their fate.
"I know, I'll do it right away." She took the information bitterly.
Guan Shouheng, do you think you can defeat me like this? What a dream!
You want to play, right? I will accompany you to the end!
Mint walked out of the studio with a thick stack of materials in his arms. He didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he headed to the Millennium Gallery under the scorching sun.
"Zhuoxi, I have something to ask you for help, can you?"
Zhuo Xi is the owner of Millennium Gallery and a freelance painter. They met ten years ago, when her family was in the worst situation.
The reason why they met was because of my grandmother. At that time, my grandmother vowed to pay back the money her mother moved for her. After selling the real estate, she also sold her life's paintings. Zhuoxi appeared at that time.
Ten years ago, he was still an unknown little painter, but now he has opened his own gallery and is running it well. He helped her and grandma a lot back then, although he could not afford to buy grandma at auction at that time.
paintings, but he introduced many buyers to them, and those buyers were all people who really liked painting, rather than speculators who smelled of copper. To a large extent, he protected grandma's paintings from letting them go to waste.
Her life's hard work finally became a money-making tool in the hands of businessmen.
Therefore, she has always been very grateful to Zhuo Xi. They have been very good friends in the past ten years.
"Mint, if you have any difficulties, just ask, sit down and talk." Zhuo Xi saw her sweating profusely and quickly poured her a glass of water.
"Thank you." Mint reached out and took it, drinking most of the water in the paper cup in one gulp.
Hey, she was really thirsty and her throat was about to smoke! She was tired and even more angry!
"What's wrong? The work at the expo is very stressful?"
"Someone is deliberately going against me!" she said through gritted teeth.
"Is someone bullying you?" Zhuo Xi asked worriedly.
"Uh... not really, it's just that leaders are probably like that!" She quickly changed her words because she had a personal grudge with Guan Shouheng and didn't want to talk to outsiders.
There is a constant quarrel between them and chaos!
Moreover, although she was very tired, she was used to pretending to be strong and used to facing everything alone.
"If you're not happy with what you're doing, don't do it. Don't force yourself." He knew her experience, falling from the clouds to the dirt. Over the years, her life had been very difficult and heartbreaking.
Mint shook his head and said with a half-smile, "What if I don't do it? I can't live with money!"
"You can come and work in my gallery." He didn't want her to run around like this anymore.
"I don't understand art, so what can I do if I come to the gallery?" Mint took another sip of water, then spread out his documents, "Zhuoxi, please look at these for me. There are some art terms that I don't understand very well. You
Explain it to me."
"We'll talk about work later. You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll treat you." Zhuo Xi couldn't bear to see her working so hard.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not hungry yet. It's not too late to eat after finishing work." Mint is very grateful to her friend for her concern, but now she just wants to do her job well and doesn't want to be defeated by Guan Shouheng!
She knew that he was making things difficult for her in every way just to make her bow to him, but she just didn't get what he wanted!
"Mint?" Zhuo Xi found that she was lost in thought.
"Huh?" She came to her senses quickly, drove the hateful figure of someone out of her mind, and said quickly, "Zhuoxi, can you help me read the documents first?"
Seeing her persistence, Zhuo Xi had no choice but to comply with her wishes. He really understood her strength and stubbornness!
"Okay, what don't you understand? Show me..."
"Here, and here...I have circled it with red pen...these are..." she said, pointing to the parts of the document that she didn't understand.
Zhuo Xi was very patient and explained one by one. Mint listened carefully and not only kept it in his mind, but also wrote it down in his notebook.
The one-and-a-half-hour lunch break passed quickly, and Mint had almost finished asking her questions about what she didn't understand. She looked at her watch. Although there was still a little time, she didn't want to be late. If there was a traffic jam, she would have to
He picked on her and said she was slacking off at work.
"Zhuoxi, thank you. I have to go back to work. I'll leave now. I'll treat you to dinner another day and say thank you properly." She stood up to leave.
Zhuo Xi didn't like her politeness and just said, "I'll give it to you."
"No, I'll just take the bus."
"Let's go, don't be polite to me, or I won't help you next time!" Zhuo Xi insisted.
Mint had no choice but to agree, "Then just take me to the intersection of the Convention and Exhibition Center."
Zhuo Xi couldn't help laughing and asked jokingly, "What? Are you afraid that people will misunderstand that I am your boyfriend?"
"I'm just afraid of troubling you too much." Mint smiled cautiously. Zhuoxi had confessed to her, but that was several years ago. She thought he should have given up long ago. There was really no relationship between them.
Maybe, she no longer has the energy to love anyone else. It won't be anyone else, let alone... Guan Shouheng.
Zhuo Xi helped her pick up the thick documents and said, "Let's go."
The distance from the gallery to the exhibition center was not too close. They arrived at their destination twenty minutes later, but Zhuo Xi insisted on sending her to the door instead of the intersection.
Before getting off the car, Zhuo Xi picked up a box of small cakes from the back seat and gave it to her, "Take it with you to eat."
Mint sighed helplessly. He was really "nosy". He suddenly stopped in front of a cake shop and bought food for her.
"Thank you." She was very grateful.
Zhuoxi smiled and shook his head, then handed over another small box of chocolates, "This one is for An An."
Mint didn't know what else to say, so she could only smile again, "Thank you for An'an."
At the same time, Guan Shouheng was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the 28th floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center, witnessing everything.
He was also busy all afternoon, so busy that he didn't even eat lunch. He just got up to go have a cup of coffee, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure downstairs.
Although the distance was so far, he still recognized her at a glance.
It seemed that no matter how many years passed, she would always be the most special and profound existence in his eyes.
But who is that man? What is the relationship between the two of them?
He narrowed his sharp eyes, and a dangerous storm instantly gathered in his eyes.
It was too far away to see clearly, so he strode to the observation deck nearby. There was a high-power telescope on the observation deck. He unscrewed the lens cap and looked in the direction.
Guan Shouheng didn't know that his current behavior was like catching his wife Hongxing cheating on her, but he had forgotten that they had already divorced.
With just one look, a blazing fire ignited in his chest.
She actually smiled at that man!
They have been reunited these days, and although she sometimes smiles at him, it is always a fake sneer. It turns out that she has given her real smile to others!
The woman was indeed as beautiful as ever. She had a cold temperament, but her smile was like the warm sun in winter. It was light, but it was enough to warm people's hearts, and it was so beautiful that it took people's breath away.
In the past, her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were only shown in front of him. Now, she smiles so beautifully to other men, but in front of him, she is cold and arrogant, and she is so angry that it will cost her life!
The handsome face was instantly filled with gloom.
Guan Shouheng closed the lens cover forcefully, returned to his desk, picked up his phone, and pressed the shortcut key, "Come to my office right away!"
"What..." Mint hung up before he could respond.
Zhuo Xi looked at her stunned expression and couldn't help but worry, "Mint, are you okay? Who called?"
"...Leader." She quickly opened the car door, "Zhuoxi, I'm leaving first. Thank you for today. Goodbye!"
After saying that, she held everything in her arms and ran straight to the 28th floor.
Before entering the office, she stopped suddenly at the door and adjusted her clothes and hair subconsciously, but suddenly there was a sadness in her heart. What was she doing? Was she afraid that he would see her embarrassment? Or did she care that she was there?
The perfect impression in his mind?
Before she could come up with an answer, the solid wooden door in front of her suddenly opened, and a cold and stern voice said, "You don't want to see me that much? Why don't you come in when you get to the door? Who are you reluctant to let go of?"
"What..." She was stunned and looked up at Guan Shouheng's gloomy face.
His answer was to grab her into the office and kick the door shut with a bang.
As soon as the door was closed, the office became a closed place again, and the atmosphere was very gloomy and weird.
Both of them stood, and he stared at her fiercely, "Who is the man who just sent you back?"
She frowned subconsciously, Zhuo Xi? How did he know?
He snorted heavily, "Boyfriend?"
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she wanted to deny it, but suddenly she felt unwilling to do so and asked instead, "So what?"
