When Hu Lei returned to Zhong Feng's office, she did not have a mont to catch her breath. Truth be told, she had been hoping to leave early. This poor girl who did not have a working knowledge of real life corporate schedules was dood to be disappointed.
The evil emperor looked at her with his usual calm and above-the-world face and stood up as soon as she entered.
"You will be accompanying to a eting." He declared in a tone that encouraged no opposition.
However, Hu Lei could not help protesting.
"I thought my official responsibilities will begin next week." She complained.
"Your contract indicates that you are already in my employ." Zhong Feng looked at her with that scary non-smile.
She shivered and decided to continue living the pitiful life of a small subject without power for now. She could not help feeling like she had sold herself.
Her feet followed quickly behind Zhong Feng to the elevator. For so reason, he seed to be walking in a relaxed pace while she was almost running. The grievances in her heart increased. She did not even notice the hateful glare from the receptionist auntie.
She sighed in relief once they entered the lift.
"Can you tell more about this eting, Mr Zhong?" she asked.
She did not like to be unprepared, especially when she went into a new place. It was one of the reasons she had chosen to learn new languages constantly instead of focusing on a specific career. Going to a new place or situation without being prepared left you feeling like you were alone and trapped on another planet. She had sworn never to leave in that position again.
Mr Zhong looked down at the little face which held so strange shadows before clearing up again. Those inquisitive eyes… They were completely pure. However, he was certain that this was an elaborate front. Sotis, she seed like a common girl next door. However, there was sothing that never seed to add up with her behaviour. And when no one was watching, her eyes seed to beco cold and dark.
Perhaps even darker and colder than his own.
After a few monts of silence, Zhong Feng spoke.
"I will update you on the way. You do not need to worry. It is a simple eting about comrcial security software. You should be quite comfortable with the topic. Your work is only to listen and speak as precisely as possible." His tone remained neutral.
He did not place much importance in the eting, especially when he thought of the man they were eting. He had set up the eting for the purpose of testing his new interpreter. He also wanted to make sure that they could work seamlessly.
All in all, he was not worried. If anything, he was looking forward to seeing the girl beside him in action. His beautiful lips quirked up into a subtle smile.
"We are eting with Furukawa Shun of Mushi Security Solutions." Zhong Feng paused and looked at Hu Lei.
The man wanted to see whether she recognised these nas. Any person with interest or knowledge in technology would know Mushi. Unfortunately, Hu Lei was only a returnee to the continent and she had not truly been a tech geek. Her knowledge had only been acquired as a matter of necessity. How could she know about this random company?
However, she was not one to accept ignorance as a matter of course. If she was going to remain in her position for so ti, she would need to learn fast. Therefore, she swore to make an effort over the weekend to learn as much as possible about the industry. It would not do to throw her employer's face.
"Mushi provides security solutions in Japan to countless businesses, organisations and even the governnt." Zhong Feng continued to educate the clueless woman sitting beside him in the back of the vehicle.
As Hu Lei listened, she found a deeper understanding of Etude Technologies. It was one thing to read a lot of stuff about a company and another to hear about it from the mouth of the head honcho. She could also see the reason that the business was considered the best in the field in Supre City.
"Are you listening?" a stern voice interrupted her musings.
She felt startled by the voice and realised that her mind was drifting. She did not dare admit her inattention. The fierce look in Zhong Feng's eyes did not look forgiving. If she said she was so sleepy and tired that she could hardly sit up, she would not be in his good graces. She had only one option.
Her head moved up and down quickly like a chicken pecking grain. She hoped that she had not missed anything important.
