Chapter 231: Did the Boss Spank You?
When Cai De introduced her, Peng Huo clapped his hand together. "You're beautiful. Have I seen you sowhere?" he asked.
Qian ng had never seen him, so she didn't respond.
"Maybe not. How would I know you?" he sighed. "I've been working here since college and the work is keeping alive at this point. With Mr. Mo running behind with a sword to perfect everything… I need to cleanse my aura." He put his hand on his chest. "As you can see… this body is a gift from God." He batted his eyelash at Qian ng.
She chuckled thinking he was joking around, but then she noticed he wasn't chuckling along with her.
A diva. A diva who liked yoga.
"Where did you work before this?" he asked casually. "Did your boss spank you there, too? Is that why you ca to our company?"
Qian ng choked on her chuckle. "Excuse ?"
"Oh, so you are an innocent flower and walked into the dragon's lair. He'll eat you alive!" He shook his head in disappointnt.
Before she could respond, a woman appeared behind him. She rolled her eyes and snapped, "Leave her alone."
"God, Huo Lei, don't be so prissy. It's not my fault you need to work overti!" He swung his hand over his head theatrically.
The woman just shook her head, though she looked amused. "I'm Huo Lei, Software Developer in Team One. Peng Huo and I went to college together, but he beca a scared lamb down the way."
Qian ng could guess that they had an amicable relationship and were not in the sa team. That was why they could talk this way to one another.
"Nice eting you," Qian ng said.
Cai De ca back from wherever he had gone. "Okay, follow . Mr. Mo might call on you at any mont. Let's complete the tour." He walked Qian ng through the rooms. "Just so you know… we have an employee's et every year and we dress up. You should be prepared for that!"
That sounded fun and not sothing Mo Qingchen would indulge in.
Cai De pulled out his phone and showed her a picture. It was a group photo of core staff it looked like. They were dressed in clothes from the Western seventies. She recognized Cai De, Peng Huo, Huo Lei, and Gu Rong. There were also several people in the photo she didn't recognize.
Qian ng released a half-laugh. The photo was equal parts funny and disturbing to look at.
"This was last year. We always go with a the." Cai De smiled as he looked over her shoulder at the picture.
"Such a sha you weren't born in this decade. Those clothes were made for you," Qian ng complinted.
"Ah, don't tease just yet. You should wait to see what we have planned this year. You are going to love it." He headed for the door snickering and smiling devilishly as he went.
"I want to see you in a mullet, for so reason," Qian ng comnted, her hands folded in prayer.
"Keep speaking, little girl. Don't forget, you're the newbie here. This ans you don't get any input on your first costu. Be warned, we are a very creative bunch." He gave her a quick wink and closed the door.
They were led back to the main area, where the familiar faces had congregated. It seed like everyone was done with their work or taking a break.
Peng Huo ca up to Qian ng. "How do you like the building?" he asked.
"It's very beautiful. Who designed all of this?" Qian ng asked.
Peng Huo shrugged. "Probably the aesthetic Mr. Mo likes. Grand and expensive."
Qian ng shook his head. "No. He despises the decoration, I can assure you," she snickered. She could imagine him dreading walking through those hallways.
"How would you know?" he asked.
Her phone rang just at the mont. She looked at the na and smiled. "I'm in the health club. Done?" Qian ng asked gently.
"Yes, I am just coming down to get you. I finished work."
"Okay. I'm waiting," Qian ng chirped.
She hung up the phone.
The people around her stared. "Am I not allowed to take calls in the building?" she joked under their eyes.
"Oh, no. Just… I never thought anyone apart from Gu Rong would be in a relationship. You have a partner and still ca to this company as a secretary."
Qian ng frowned. "Why? Do the executive secretaries co to seduce Mo Qingchen?" she asked.
There was so commotion. "Whoa. You can't call him that!" Peng Huo leaped to her side. "If you call his na, he will appear."
Qian ng started to laugh really loudly. They thought she didn't believe them but when the elevator door opened and Mo Qingchen arrived, she heard Peng Huo say sothing on the lines of, 'I told you so.'
She continued to laugh, unable to stop herself. It wasn't that she found the situation amusing, it was just funny thinking how these people would react.
She was desperately gasping for air when she sheepishly looked at Mo Qingchen through red, watery eyes. She was sure she looked unstable. The others around her had the sa freaked-out expression that she thought they would.
Mo Qingchen, though, shook his head in amusent and held his hand out to her.
He rubbed the moisture away from her eye. And took it. "You're late," she reprimanded in an amused voice.
"I had business to take care of. Let's go," he announced. He looked around at the room and then at Qian ng questioningly.
Qian ng turned to them. "Sorry for duping all of you. No one gave the opportunity to say who I was when I arrived. I'm Yun Qian ng. My office is across the street."
There was silence in the room.
"Why are you… here?" Peng Huo was the first to respond. He finally realized where he had seen her.
