Chapter 1142: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (227)
The next day.
“Why are you so absent-minded? Was he really that sick yesterday? He didn’t even have the strength to call the company and ask for sick leave?”
When the colleagues in the office saw Zuo Yue sitting in front of the computer in a daze, they suddenly knocked her head lightly with the docunt in their hands and said with concern,””If you’re not feeling well, you can go and rest. If there’s any other work, we’ll help you with it. Anyway, you’re an intern, so there’s nothing particularly tedious to do.”
Zuo Yue snapped back to reality.” It’s nothing. The manager didn’t say anything about not coming to work yesterday, right?””
“The manager saw that you ca to make up for your sick leave in the morning. Seeing that your performance in the past few days was fine, the manager didn’t pursue your absenteeism yesterday and helped you make up for your sick leave. Don’t worry, your internship points won’t be deducted.”
“That’s good. Thank you.” Zuo Yue thanked the enthusiastic colleagues behind her gratefully. Then, she turned her eyes back to the English data file on the computer screen. However, as soon as she cald down, her mind was in a ss again.
She had fallen asleep after returning to her room last night. In the morning, she was woken up by her phone’s alarm. When she woke up, she realized that Xu Chengfeng was no longer there.
He didn’t even leave a single word behind.
She had not co to the company yesterday, so she could not care less. She packed up early and ran to the company. Fortunately, the manager did not pursue the matter.
However, she knew that the people in the company were much friendlier to her than the other interns because they knew that she seed to have so relationship with the big BOSS of the GN Corporation, Xu Chengfeng. Therefore, no one would offend her over a small matter.
She said that she didn’t need him to help her and didn’t want him to affect her work in King Corporation.
But in the end, she still gave Xu Chengfeng face.
Otherwise, the fact that she had skipped work for no reason yesterday would have been enough to deduct a lot of her internship points.
..
For a whole week, Xu Chengfeng did not appear again, nor did he receive any news.
Although there was still more than a week before King’s press conference at the end of the month, and she did not know if he would really go, she did not even see a trace of Ait recently.
Zuo Yue went back to school to make up for her lessons on the weekends. After all, she had not officially graduated yet. So of the classes that she had missed due to her internship needed to be made up for on the weekends.
After an afternoon of classes, she originally wanted to go to the dical university to look for Julie and the others. However, because there was a male classmate she had a good relationship with who was celebrating his birthday, she went to the biggest nightclub in Boston with more than ten classmates and opened a big box to celebrate his birthday with him.
The atmosphere in the private room had always been very high. Zuo Yue had not slept well for the past few days. At this mont, she did not have much energy. She sat at the corner of the sofa in the private room where there were few people, holding a small glass of whiskey and slowly drinking it.
She didn’t know where the wine at ho had been thrown. She hadn’t found it for the past few days, and she didn’t have much ti to drink recently.
For the first ti in three years, she seed to have not touched alcohol for more than a week. Now, she slowly sipped the whiskey in her glass, and her mind instinctively kept thinking about the empty wine cabinet at ho.
That man was always so straightforward.
In just one night, all the wine had been cleared away, and there was not even a trace of it.
She suddenly realized that she was actually thinking about Xu Chengfeng. She suddenly finished the wine in her glass and put down the glass. Tonight’s birthday girl suddenly ca out from the crowd and ran straight to Zuo Yue’s side to sit down.
Zuo Yue glanced at him,”Why did you suddenly co here to sit?””
“It’s too noisy. I ca to your side to quiet down for a while.”The birthday boy smiled as he said,””Are you free tomorrow night? If you have nothing to do, co with to a place tomorrow night.”
Zuo Yue glanced at him and smiled.””You haven’t given up yet?”
The birthday boy smiled calmly.” I’ve been wooing you for three years, but I’ve never seen you nod. Although you’ve always regarded as a friend, it’s my birthday today. I don’t need you to give any gifts. At least accompany to do sothing, right?”
Zuo Yue chuckled. She thought about how this birthday boy had always been friendly to her and had indeed pursued her for three years. However, his personality was more easy-going and he never made her feel disgusted. On the contrary, every ti he spoke, she felt very comfortable. Hence, she smiled and took the wine glass he handed her and said softly,”What do you want to promise you? I’ll do what I can do, and I’ll reject what I can’t do right now, lest I give you any hope that you shouldn’t have.”
“Tsk, you’re such a lively girl. Why are you so cold every ti you face a relationship problem? People who don’t know better might think that you’ve been hurt emotionally.”As the birthday boy clinked glasses with her, he suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder like a good friend. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear,”Accompany to a banquet tomorrow night.”
The classmates that Zuo Yue was familiar with and the school that she was studying at were mostly people of high social status. The banquet that he ntioned should be a very orthodox banquet, and the identity of the people who could attend the banquet would definitely be too ordinary.
Zuo Yue was not surprised. She slowly drank the slightly cold wine in her cup and said softly,””The reason?”
” Sigh, I’m only twenty-three years old, and I’m already shouldering the responsibility of my family’s rise and fall. My family wants to marry a girl I’ve never seen before. I’ve seen a photo of that girl. She’s too young. I think she’ll only be twenty years old at the end of this year. Although she looks innocent and harmless, I’m not interested in those cute girls. However, there’s no reason for to avoid them, so I want you to be my girlfriend tomorrow…”
Zuo Yue gave him a cold glance.””Be your girlfriend? Do you think this is a TV drama?”
“Just for one day, actually just for one night. Just be my female companion at the banquet. When others ask, I will say that you are my girlfriend. Just don’t deny it. My parents didn’t force , but I don’t even have a decent girlfriend. If they see you tomorrow, they will be very satisfied. After all, you have such a big background from the Zuo family.”
“Then what about the future?”
“We’ll talk about the future in the future. I’m just bringing you to show your face at the banquet, not to get engaged. Neither of us will lose a piece of flesh. At most, I’ll just say that we broke up in the future.”
Zuo Yue laughed and raised her hand to push his hand away from her shoulder.””Stop it. The banquets that your family can attend are definitely filled with all kinds of celebrities. What if I et soone I know? This is too ridiculous. I’m not going!”
