Chapter 224 – His love is for real. (3)
Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life
âBoss, hereâs a list of all the recent movies,â said Siyi as he respectfully handed Huo Sishen a printed-out sheet.
His boss suddenly wanted to acquire a movie theater and wanted to inspect it in person... Yeah right!
The boss wanted to go on a date with Miss Gu!
Only his boss would treat a date like it was some important meeting.
Siyi had a lot of respect for that.
Huo Sishen took the list from Siyi, glanced at it, and frowned.
Siyi gulped.
âI have included their ratings online. Anything above a 7 is pretty decent.
âA few of them were work of some well-known directors. There are also a few foreign films as well.â
Siyi was about to turn from being an assistant to a dating consultant.
Apparently, though, his job description has yet to be approved by his boss.
âTake out the horror films.â
âNothing with gun fight either... distasteful.â
Siyi was about to start sweating.
âThen we still have two left. They are rated pretty high as well.â
Holding a pen in his hand, Huo Sishen put a big âXâ behind the movie titles.
âAnimation? Childish.â
âRomance.... Stupid!â
Siyi, â......â
Nothing was good?
Should we buy the film companies too?!
Huo Sishen mulled over it for over a minute before he tapped the piece of paper with his pen.
âGo print me another one.
âAnd bring it back with us.â
Siyiâs brows lifted.
Oh yeah!
Letâs have Miss Gu pick!
âPrint a list of all the movies from this year.â
Siyi, â......â
When it came to educating his wife girl at home, Huo Sishen took this matter very seriously.
Movie appreciation was a very important part of it.
It must be taken seriously.
With a solemn look, Huo Sishen said, âI am calling it a day.â
Siyi looked at the time.
Ugh. Itâs not even 5 PM yet. The boss was going to leave work early!
Before Huo Sishen left work, he glanced over at the assistantâs area outside of his office.
He then gave Siyi a chilling look.
Siyi got his meaning instantly and walked out.
He returned five minutes later.
In the assistantâs area outside, Xu Jiao the highly competent assistant was, once again, dressed up like a blooming flower and she even have bright red lipstick on today.
She was just about to go and delivery a document.
When she heard a loud scream coming from behind her.
âHave you heard? The boss of the Business Unit is diagnosed with cancer.â
âOh! Really?â
âIt was said that he went inside of the bossâs office for ten minutes three days ago.â
âOh mi! Had he forgotten?â
âThatâs so unfortunate.â
âHow many does that make him?â
Xu Jiao didnât understand what they were talking about but she felt that somehow the content of the gossip was bad news to her.
She reached out her hand and asked the other assistants weakly.
âWhat is going on?â
The company was too big and handled many different types of work.
One assistant would not be able to handle all of the work.
Xu Jiao was a personal assistant.
She was responsible for booking plane tickets, hotels, meals, making coffees and the likes for Huo Sishen.
With the exception of Siyi, she was the one who went in and out of Huo Sishenâs office the most.
She had been there for less than a week.
And she had been inside of the bossâs office for over ten times already.
Xu Jiaoâs heart started pounding.
âDidnât they tell you when you start?â asked a bespectacled middle-aged man holding onto his beer gut.
âIt was written on the new hire manual to keep your distance from the boss.â
Xu Jiao was a little stunned.
She knew that.
âBecause he is germophobic, no?â
The look on the middle-aged man suddenly turned very mysterious.
He lowered his voice and carefully glanced over at the CEO office.
âThe boss, is a walking curse.â
Xu Jiao found that ridiculous. âEh? Brother Zhou, isnât that just superstitious?â
âAre you not in our officeâs group chat? Oh, you joined later. The formerly department head of Human Resource only said one sentence to the boss and had a stroke. He retired immediately.
âAnd then there was the one from the Administration Department. She shook hand with the boss and pssst... got into a car accident on her way home.
âThen thereâs the girl that you are hired to replace. She was walking on flat ground when she sprained her ankle and injured her Achilles tendon. She needed surgery and canât come back to work for three months.â
Xu Jiao turned paler and paler as she listened. âThatâs... thatâs just all coincidences, right?â
âWell, you donât have to believe me. Truth was, bossâs cursed had killed his own father and his wife. Weâve heard that most of his family members are dead.â
Xu Jiao shuddered and the mug that she had just filled with water dropped onto the floor.
