Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Who Did It?
The tone stretched on, with glances shot at Mo Han from ti to ti.
"Yeah, you go ahead and get busy. I'm leaving first."
Ignoring Ye Xinluo's gaze, I found an excuse to leave.
The hot potato has been passed on; can't describe how delighted I am.
Ye Xin watched the person leaving and was left speechless for a mont.
Despite Mo Han's serious deanor, he's actually quite amusing when he speaks.
Are all the people from the Beichen Group this quirky?
Mo Han returned to his office in a good mood, thinking about having passed the docunt to Ye Xinluo for handling.
I'm so clever for devising such a good plan.
No need to do it myself, and I can still secure my year-end bonus.
This is great.
Soone apparently didn't realize how shrewd their boss really is.
That afternoon, when Mo Han brought the docunt to Beichen Rui.
Beichen Rui took a quick glance at the docunt and noticed sothing fishy.
"Who did this?"
"What?"
Not understanding what he ant at first, I was a bit puzzled.
Boss, can you be more specific? How am I supposed to guess with such cryptic words?
"Who made the docunt?"
Beichen Rui repeated patiently.
"I, I did it."
Mo Han cursed himself for being useless, getting so scared just from the boss asking who did the docunt.
Why is there always this guilty conscience feeling?
Always feels uneasy inside.
"Really?"
Beichen Rui squinted his eyes, leisurely staring at him.
Mo Han broke into a cold sweat.
Boss, please don't look at
like that, I'm scared...
"Rea-really."
Even the tone was sowhat stuttering.
"When did your French beco so good? I don't recall."
Mo Han: "..."
"Boss, I've been diligently studying French lately, maybe I've made so progress..."
Lying without batting an eye, but a close observation would reveal.
At this mont, Mo Han had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Then translate this part for
to hear."
Mo Han reluctantly took the docunt, looking at the densely packed French, all he felt was a scalp tingling sensation.
I'm done for, should've never tried to be clever...
"Why haven't you started yet?"
Seeing him dallying for a long ti without any intention to begin, Beichen Rui kindly reminded.
Soone superior: "Kid, you're too green to outwit ."
Leaning lazily against the chair, observing every change in Mo Han's expression...
Lips slightly pursed, silently.
Mo Han stared at the docunt for quite a while, but couldn't utter a single word.
He raised his head with a miserable expression to look at Beichen Rui, who just gave him a "begging won't help" look.
About ten seconds of silence passed, and under the pressure of Beichen Rui's gaze, he finally gave in.
"Boss, I was wrong, I'll confess."
As he said this, Beichen Rui gave him a aningful look, as if saying, "If you confessed earlier, it would've been fine."
It flickered away in an instant.
Yet Mo Han caught it sharply.
If you weren't my boss, I'd want to slap the crap out of you...
ntally exasperated, how does he always end up losing to this guy?
No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend, serves him right. So conniving, serves him right that nobody loves him.
ntally abusing his boss in various ways.
But upon eting Beichen Rui's cold gaze, he imdiately grinned fawningly.
Who let the boss hold the power to decide his year-end bonus?
No matter what, you can't go against money.
That's what decides whether he'll be living well or just getting by...
All principles and bottom lines are thrown out with the boss around.
Just thankful if this guy doesn't take away his poor little bonus.
"Spit it out."
"Boss, it was Assistant Ye who translated it."
Sorry, Assistant Ye, but for my pitiful year-end bonus, I had to sell you out.
Bowed his head, not daring to et Beichen Rui's eyes.
Knowing inside that doing this wasn't right. But what choice did he have? Why did the boss have to find him?
And even specifically selected sothing he's unfamiliar with.
"Call her in."
When 'Assistant Ye' ca out of Mo Han's mouth, at first he didn't quite register. It took a second of pause before he rembered.
That woman, the one he personally promoted from secretary to assistant.
"Will my year-end bonus still be there?"
Beichen Rui didn't speak, just gave a slight nod.
Receiving confirmation from his boss, his hanging heart finally settled. Happily went to call Ye Xinluo.
"Assistant Ye, Rui wants to see you."
Approached Ye Xinluo's desk and knocked on the surface.
"What?"
Why is he looking for ? It's only my first day, haven't made any mistakes yet, have I?
"You'll know when you get there."
"Alright."
Put down the docunt in hand, got up, and walked to the CEO's office door, knocking lightly.
"Co in."
Beichen Rui's voice passed through the door crack to Ye Xinluo's ears.
Pausing slightly.
That voice, it's so pleasant.
It was sowhat hoarse, yet very soothing to listen to.
Ye Xinluo collected her thoughts, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open to enter.
Being summoned by the CEO on the first day of work, maybe that's a bit too lucky.
But thinking about it, it's not a big deal. Now as the CEO's assistant, isn't this normal?
"CEO, were you looking for ?"
Stopped in front of the desk, looking at the man in front of her.
Previously checked out so info on Beichen Rui, but the pictures were all blurry.
Initially wondered why were the pictures so blurry? Was it because he was too unattractive that they blurred the photos on purpose?
But now, seeing him in person, Ye Xinluo was quite shocked.
Just as Shanshan said, truly handso!
His features were defined, eyes deep, nose high, and lips sensuously thin.
He didn't have any expression, yet annoyingly captivating. Impossible to look away, couldn't help but take another look.
How can a guy have such good skin? Made her as a woman feel envious.
"Have you looked enough?"
The man lifted his head, looking at soone zoning out, frowning lightly.
With that interruption, Ye Xinluo snapped back.
Great, caught being silly in the act.
Oh so embarrassing, why did she act stupid at this mont...
Feels like finding a hole to hide in...
"CEO, is there sothing you need
for?" Managed an awkward smile.
"Did you do this?"
Picked up the docunt on the desk, handed it to Ye Xinluo.
Ye Xinluo took the docunt and gave it a glance. "I translated it, is there a problem?"
Beichen Rui watched her for a while without imdiately speaking.
The person in front of him overlapped with the woman in his mory.
Looks like these past few years, she's been doing alright.
His gaze lingered sowhere. Curved his lips into a smile.
"You studied French?"
"Yeah."
"Learned a bit during school."
"I understand. You can go out now."
Lowered his head to look at the docunt, ignoring her now.
Ye Xinluo stood there, a bit lost like a monk who couldn't understand a scripture.
Called in just to ask a few irrelevant questions?
