Ainte looked at Zuo Yue for a while, then turned around and signaled the security guards to stand further away.
When only the two of them were left in front of the door, Ainte reached out to open the door of the conference room and said softly,âI didnât expect you to be working here now. Since youâre here to get the conference documents, you should go in yourself.â
As he spoke, he glanced at her work badge and was about to open the door.
âI need your help.â Zuo Yue looked at him.
âZuo Yue, this is your job.ââ
Zuo Yue was a little angry.
Ainte could tell that she didnât want to go in and see the person inside, but he forced her to go in herself.
âForget it. Iâm just here to help someone else. Iâll get the others from the secretaryâs office to come and get it themselves.âAs she spoke, Zuo Yue turned around and was about to leave.
Ainte looked at her back and suddenly gave the security guards in black suits a look. The security guards immediately turned around and blocked her way like a wall.
Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks and frowned. This was the company, and she had only been here for a few days as an intern. She did not want to cause any trouble, so she whispered,ââMove aside!â
The security guards did not say anything. They just stood on a quiet wall. There were company surveillance cameras all around. Zuo Yue could not say anything or push them away forcefully. She suddenly turned around and glared at Ainte. Ainte raised his hand and gestured for her to enter the meeting room.
She walked back and stood in front of Ainte. She said expressionlessly,ââThree years ago, it was you guys who left without a sound. Now that you chose to avoid me, itâs also fulfilling your BOSSâs plan to never appear in front of me again. Now that Iâm staying away from you guys, why are you forcing me to go in?â
âThis is just your job, isnât it?â Ainte smiled at her.â Besides, three years ago was three years ago, and now is now. Some things will happen suddenly, and some truths will hurt when they are uncovered. But I think that everything that you once wanted will come true one day.ââ
Zuo Yue glanced at him indifferently when she heard his words, but she only smiled indifferently.ââYou might be thinking too much. I donât really want anything right now. Iâm just going to graduate soon and come out to find a company to intern. I hope you wonât make things too difficult for me.â
âWork hard. You wonât be eaten by anyone if you go in and get your information.âAinte only had a business-like smile on his face.âDo you think that when the BOSS is here, no stranger can easily get close to this place? Rather than letting others in, it would be better to let you in.â
Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him and did not intend to pay attention to him. However, with so many people blocking her way, she could only walk straight to the door of the meeting room.
The moment Aite opened the door, her face showed no emotion as she slowly walked in.
The high-definition big screen in the conference room was showing various planning, presentation, PowerPoint, and pictures. Zuo Yue did not look at anyone after she walked in. She only said in a very official voice,âIâm here to get the conference documents.â
As he spoke, he walked around the other side of the conference table as if he didnât see the people around it. He sorted out the meeting materials and recordings in front of the secretary and general manager, then respectfully nodded to the managers, turned around, and walked out.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was as if she did not see the man who had been sitting in the main seat across the conference table. It was as if she did not feel his gaze. It was as if he was just an unfamiliar CEO of a partner company. She would not take a second look at him, let alone think too much about him.
Zuo Yueâs swift attitude caused the meeting that was in progress to pause for a few seconds. The secretary manager did not know that Zuo Yue had been invited to help from the Ministry of Commerce. He immediately called out to her,ââWait a minute.â
Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at the secretary manager.
Which department are you from? Why is our officeâs work badge hanging on it?â
The secretary managerâs words immediately made the others who were still in the meeting look at her with suspicion in their eyes. They even thought for a moment that there might be a corporate spy involved.
Everyoneâs gaze, including that personâs.
Zuo Yue did not look in that direction, nor did she pay special attention to the look in that personâs eyes. She just nodded at the secretaryâs office manager politely and said,ââIâm an intern in the Commerce Department. Iâve been going to the printing room a lot recently and Iâm quite familiar with the secretaries in the secretaryâs office. Just now, Sister Cass in the secretaryâs office said that she had some documents to do urgently, so she trusted me and temporarily handed me her work pass. She asked me to come here to help her get the meeting materials and then bring them back for her to organize.â
âKath sent you?â
âYes.â As Zuo Yue spoke, she raised the work badge hanging on her chest. It indeed had Kathâs name written on it.
The secretary looked at her a few more times and nodded.âThen you can go back first.â
It wasnât that they had let their guard down, but there were real-time surveillance cameras on every floor and every corner of King Corporation. Indeed, no one could easily sneak in. If anything happened to Kath, the company would have sounded the alarm long ago.
Zuo Yue nodded again and turned around to leave. When she turned around, she glanced at the general manager and accidentally saw the person sitting beside the general manager.
When their eyes met, Xu Chengfeng looked at her. He did not say a word, but his gaze was clear and gentle. There was no fake strangeness, but he also did not have any intention of getting close to her. He just looked at her as if he was sizing up the changes in her from a young girl to now, as if he was getting to know this unfamiliar yet familiar girl in front of him again.
Zuo Yueâs eyes only swept over Xu Chengfengâs body before she directly opened the door of the conference room and walked out.
Before she left, she heard the managerâs voice behind her continue the meeting topic.âCEO Xu, in my opinion, the cooperation case we discussed today also has an investorâ¦â
She didnât listen to the rest of the conversation and walked out of the meeting room. She walked past Ainte with the meeting documents and recording files in her hands expressionlessly. When she reached the security guards, she raised the meeting documents in her hand and said,âPlease donât delay my work.â
The security guards looked at Ainte, who was still standing in front of the conference room door, in confusion. Ainte raised his hand to signal for them to make way. Zuo Yue finally walked through the aisle in front of the conference room door and directly walked into the elevator in front of her, leaving the familiar and unfamiliar people behind her.
