Chapter 555: Chapter 0557: Pouring Out One’s Heart
Chu Ge silently looked at him. If he was able to swipe his card to enter, would he still need to ask him to open the door for her?
“My door card isn’t with , and I haven’t been to work in a long ti. The access system has changed.”
Chu Ge spoke honestly.
Upon hearing this, the security guard felt even more that he couldn’t let Chu Ge in.
“Get lost if you’ve got nothing to do, stop loitering here! Careful, or I’ll be less than polite,” the security guard grew angry, clearly mistaking Chu Ge for soone with ill intentions.
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but recently President Mu has been working overti incessantly; who knows when she might co down. If she saw that he wasn’t fulfilling his duties, he would definitely be fired.
He had gone through a lot of trouble to land the job as a security guard at Jinxiu Group; he couldn’t afford to lose his job because of so nutcase.
Chu Ge looked at him indifferently, strong principles indeed, just with a bad temper.
“Can I use your phone then?” Chu Ge asked again.
After all, he ca to surprise Mu Bingtong. If he used his own phone to call her, the surprise would be spoiled.
So he thought about borrowing the security guard’s phone and changing his voice; then Bingtong wouldn’t be able to recognize him.
Chu Ge’s idea was nice but also naive. It’s often said that people in love have zero IQ; today, Chu Ge embodied that saying to the fullest extent.
The security guard had a ‘are you crazy?’ look while staring at Chu Ge, “Are you sick or what? Leave now, or I’ll seriously make you regret it!”
He picked up the baton and gestured at Chu Ge, “You leaving or not? If not, I’m calling the police!”
Although the security guard was a bit brash, he seed too honest at a glance. Chu Ge shook his head helplessly and gave up on asking to borrow his phone.
He took out his own phone and gently shook it in front of the security guard, then dialed that familiar number.
Not long after, a tired voice ca through the receiver.
“Hello.”
“Where are you?” Chu Ge’s voice beca much softer.
It seed Bingtong was stretching as she yawned; a coquettish voice ca through the phone, “Still at the office.”
Chu Ge responded with an ‘oh’ and imdiately spotted Mu Bingtong’s office. He said to Bingtong, “Co downstairs, sign for a delivery.”
By using the word ‘going’, the aning was subtly different.
Bingtong, unsuspecting, curiously asked, “Did you buy sothing for ?”
“Yeah.”
Chu Ge didn’t say much else and hung up the phone.
After hanging up, there was a gaze that kept staring at him. Chu Ge looked at the security guard sowhat helplessly. “I didn’t go in.”
The security guard scratched his head, “Was that call to our President Mu just now?”
From the tone, obviously a lover in the heat of romance, but this guy didn’t seem like President Mu’s type at all.
Judging by his outfit, he wasn’t dressed like an elite, but rather like a petty thug from the streets.
The security guard shook his head, thinking he must be out of his mind to believe this kid had any relationship with President Mu.
It wasn’t long before Mu Bingtong ca down. She was dressed in a black suit with a knee-length black skirt, her hair pulled up high, looking energetic and capable.
But there was a hint of fatigue on her face; it was evident she was overworked.
Chu Ge saw Mu Bingtong from a distance, his hands tucked into his pockets, a faint smile hanging on his face.
However, Mu Bingtong failed to recognize Chu Ge initially due to the dim light; she rely saw a familiar silhouette standing there and subconsciously thought it was a courier who resembled Chu Ge.
Not until she approached did she clearly see Chu Ge’s face, her surprise was so overwhelming that she covered her mouth, “How did you co back?”
No, that’s not right!
Wasn’t there a ntion of a delivery?
Could it be…
The unrestrained joy in Mu Bingtong’s eyes was evident; she hastily stepped forward and embraced Chu Ge, “Is the delivery you ntioned actually yourself?”
Such a delightful surprise!
Chu Ge hadn’t expected Mu Bingtong to warmly rush forward and hug him, touching the softest chord deep within his heart.
He gently held her, whispering into her ear, “Do you like this surprise?”
While the two exuded a sweet aura of romance, on the other side, the security guard was shockingly agape; he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
What did he just witness? Isn’t that… isn’t that President Mu?
Why would President Mu be embracing this lunatic?
Could it be that there’s really sothing between them…
The security guard instinctively felt his job was on the line.
Perhaps noticing soone else present, Mu Bingtong only hugged Chu Ge for a mont before jumping out of his arms.
“Why didn’t you co in when you arrived?” Mu Bingtong looked up at him, her clear eyes twinkling with scattered starlight.
Chu Ge smiled, “I didn’t bring my access card.”
Mu Bingtong was puzzled, “If you don’t have an access card, you should have just ntioned it to the security guard.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head, her penetrating gaze falling upon the security guard.
The guard felt a chill crawl up his spine.
The security guard wanted to explain, but after all, he was just a small-ti security guard, not accustod to such situations, and now facing President Mu, his legs trembled.
Chu Ge stepped forward, gently put his arm around Mu Bingtong’s shoulder, and said, “Don’t bla him, he was just doing his duty.”
Indeed, not being able to enter the company without an access card was the order she had given; besides, it was normal to suspect Chu Ge’s sudden appearance in the middle of the night.
Mu Bingtong did not bla the security guard and entered the building with Chu Ge.
The security guard remained tense the whole ti, fearing that a word from President Mu would cost him his job.
Once in Mu Bingtong’s office, Chu Ge looked around, noticing everything was arranged as before. After a circle, his gaze fell on her desk.
The desk was piled high with docunts, and just looking at them gave him a headache.
Chu Ge, puzzled, asked, “Has the company been this busy recently? Is there a big deal or sothing?”
Mu Bingtong shook her head with a light sigh, poured Chu Ge a glass of water, placed it on the desk, then returned to her chair in front of the desk. As she organized the docunts, she explained, “It’s not really a big deal. Rember how we financed and acquired shares in many other corporate groups? Jinxiu Group’s scale has grown, and naturally, there are those who are displeased and looking for excuses to suppress us.”
Mu Bingtong sighed. She knew she shouldn’t have told Chu Ge about this, yet she couldn’t help wanting to share with him, to confide the grievances and hardships she had endured these days.
Perhaps this was the manifestation of a woman’s reliance on a man?
Mu Bingtong thought to herself, her lips curling into a faint, bitter smile.
