Zhu Yu finished the day's work and happily picked up her bag as she left the office.
"Xiao Zhuang! You're all still here? It's quitting time." Zhu Yu was surprised to see that no one in the assistant office seemed ready to leave.
"Assistant Zhu, I just have a little more work to finish. I'll be leaving in a bit." Xiao Zhuang clasped her hands tightly. They won't find out I helped Young Master Shen, will they?
Zhu Yu saw through her but didn't say anything. "I see. Well, everyone should head home early. We have to come in bright and energetic tomorrow!"
Zhu Yu smiled and waved before getting into the elevator without a hint of hesitation. Nothing could stop her from leaving on time.
"Whew! That scared me to death. Assistant Zhu's expression just now was terrifying." Xiao Zhuang couldn't help patting her chest as she sat at her desk.
"Hmph, I'm telling my big brother about this tonight." Shen Jingyan was thoroughly annoyed, and the untranslated documents beside him only made him more so.
"Young Master Shen, I've already translated these for you. If we work a little faster, we'll be done in no time." Su Duoduo handed him the documents she had just finished translating.
"Duoduo, you're the best. I'll treat you to dinner after work sometime." Seeing the translated documents, Shen Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief. This awful day was finally almost over.
Li Yichen's face couldn't have been any darker. He'd never had to live like this before. Once he got back, he was definitely telling his big brother he wanted to intern at their own company. Why did he have to intern at someone else's company?
The next day
Zhu Yu stepped into the office right on time. All the way there, she'd been fervently praying that those two would hurry up and leave!
But the moment she entered the office, she saw the two people she didn't want to see sitting at their desks with their heads hanging.
Looks like their resistance last night hadn't worked. How annoying.
Zhu Yu walked into her office, thoroughly irritated. She was even more annoyed than the two of them.
Zhu Yu rubbed her temples.
As she was thinking, the phone in the president's office suddenly rang.
Zhu Yu stopped thinking and hurried over to Shen Jingmo's office.
"Boss, may I ask what you need?" Zhu Yu wore a professional smile.
Get to the point. If you've got something to say, say it.
If you're asking how your brother's doing at work, I'll tell you: not well at all. Please make him leave immediately.
Shen Jingmo's dark eyes studied Zhu Yu. Was she getting more and more used to putting on two different faces?
"You know the company's annual health checkup, right? Arrange for everyone to go this afternoon." Shen Jingmo didn't say much. He had called her in to assign her work.
"A health checkup?" Zhu Yu froze.
"Yes. Did you forget the company has one every year? Remember to arrange for the employees to go in groups." Shen Jingmo spoke without looking up from the documents in his hand.
"What about you, Boss?"
"I don't take part in the company checkup. I have a family doctor who handles my checkups at home." Shen Jingmo glanced up slightly.
"How can that be?" Zhu Yu braced both hands on the desk.
How can that be? If you don't get your checkup at the company, how am I supposed to get your report? How will I know if you're healthy? What if you die again?
Shen Jingmo's expression darkened. What does she mean, "die again"?
"Do you want me to go?"
"We're all part of the same company, so of course we should go together." Zhu Yu looked at Shen Jingmo with complete sincerity.
Of course I want you to. I want it with every fiber of my being. Even though your death flag has been dealt with, isn't that how these novels go? What if Heaven throws something else your way? What am I supposed to do then? Take my place in line as that crazy bastard's next target? No way.
Shen Jingmo leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment before nodding. "Then I'll go, too. You can arrange it."
"Sure!" Zhu Yu happily hugged the documents in her arms, pleased with his answer.
I'll make sure you're scheduled at the same time as me. Then we can pick up our reports together. I'll get yours for you, hehe.
Shen Jingmo watched Zhu Yu's retreating figure and turned another page of his documents.
Zhu Yu headed back to her office. As she passed the restroom, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"This job is such a pain. Whoever wants it can do it. If my big brother hadn't forced me to come..."
"You all better keep your eyes open. I'm taking a break in a few days."
"If you let her get away, I'll make sure you regret it."
Zhu Yu slowly approached the door. Sure enough, it was Li Yichen, the possessive-love type!
Zhu Yu stopped and knocked on the door with a smile. "Xiao Li, you should try not to spend so much time in the restroom making phone calls while you're working. You've got plenty more work waiting for you, so remember to come out soon."
Then Zhu Yu left without caring what Li Yichen was doing in the restroom, humming as she returned to her office.
Clatter! A phone hit the floor in the restroom.
The assistants in the office all relaxed when they saw Zhu Yu in such a good mood. It looked like Assistant Zhu was in a pretty good mood today.
