A quarter of an hour later, Meng Shuyu stood blankly in front of the elevator in the community basement and pressed the up button.

The elevator slowly descended from the upper floor to the basement floor and moved away with a ding.

Meng Shuyu stepped through the door and was hit in the face by the cold air from the sedan.

The cool breeze blew across my sensitive ears, as if carrying a rustling sound - baby.

Meng Shuyu shuddered and his heart suddenly jumped into his throat again.

The elevator door closed, and the only noise left in the enclosed space was the slight noise of the overhead fan blowing air.

Meng Shuyu recalled how things just ended in the car.

As soon as Zhou Jun said that, the effect was immediate. Jian Cheng was silent for two seconds and then hung up the phone as if he was escaping.

But she was not so well. Her mind was full of thoughts like “Don’t mess with me, don’t mess with me”, and her pupils were so dilated that she almost blurted out “Are you sick?”

Although the last question turned into "Do you have any problem?", Zhou Jun obviously understood her subtext. He leaned back in the back seat and said indifferently, "I thought you had a problem and I was solving the problem."

It seemed that he had shown great wisdom in preventing his good brother from having any contact with the bad girl, and her reaction was so naive and like she was making a fuss over nothing.

Who wouldn't react when he called out to people like that with such a face

Her fluctuation is just a respect for her own aesthetic taste...

Meng Shuyu rubbed his earlobes vigorously a few times, feeling that the word "baby" had finally faded from his ears. He relaxed his tense body and thought about going home to take a shower to wash away the bad luck of the day.

When I looked up, I saw that the elevator was still parked steadily on the underground floor, not moving at all.

That night, Meng Shuyu did not receive any more calls from Jian Cheng.

Before going to bed, Meng Shuyu was still a little confused, wondering whether Jian Cheng recognized Zhou Jun's voice, and what to think if he did.

Later I got tired of thinking about it and just stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, it was impossible for her to explain to Jian Cheng.

Not to mention that she had no idea how to bring it up, if she really brought it up she might end up making things worse.

When he opened WeChat at noon on Sunday, he saw Jian Cheng had posted a message on his Moments saying "In Memory of the First Time I Blacked Out." Not sure if he really forgot or was pretending to have forgotten, Meng Shuyu didn't care anymore and put the matter behind him. He started to worry about his career as a general assistant, which had started off badly.

After a day of preparation on Sunday, Meng Shuyu arrived at the company half an hour early on Monday morning.

I went up to the office building in the center of the industrial park. As soon as I got out of the elevator on the seventh floor, I heard two girls in the HR office talking from afar.

"No way, he's so young. The most junior department head in our department is half a generation older than him. Will he buy into his story?"

"You'll know after coming here today. The person that Mr. Cai personally recruited must be quite capable, and he also has such an impressive family background."

"But I heard that when the Cai family's prince came out of nowhere, he couldn't control those old foxes, and in the end he was so angry that he left in disgrace. A rich second-generation from outside..."

"The second generation of rich people are also divided into idiots and elites. I heard that this time..."

Meng Shuyu paused and stopped in the corridor.

As the contract came into effect, word of Morishiro’s new general manager spread throughout the company.

Meng Shuyu also learned about Zhou Jun's resume from the headquarters.

At the age of fifteen, he was admitted to the Finance Department of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University. At the age of nineteen, he entered the Harvard Business School to study for a master's degree in business administration with a GMAT score of 790. At the age of twenty-one, he joined a well-known international financial services company in New York, USA, where he worked as an investment and financing analyst and fund manager. At the age of twenty-four, he worked as an operations director for a high-end software system company in California, USA until today, four years later.

Just like the oppressive feeling Zhou Jun brings to people every day, this resume of "being an elite for half his life and still unmarried at the age of 28 after returning" is so beautiful that it makes people a little suffocated.

Meng Shuyu immediately understood the distrust in the man's expression when he asked her for her resume.

I even think he could be a little more arrogant.

After all, in addition to this resume, his father is a real estate tycoon.

As the son of the chairman of Yuanyu Real Estate, Zhou Jun's wealth theoretically far exceeds the value of a sub-brand business unit under Yongyi.

However, once he returned to China, he accepted Yongyi's olive branch as casually as choosing a restaurant, and was happy to take over the mess of Sendai, which had been losing money for years.

No wonder Mr. Cai, while cherishing his talent, still has some doubts about him.

Of course, with Moriyo changing general managers like changing zodiac signs in the past two years, it is no wonder that employees would take a wait-and-see attitude towards this professional manager recruited from outside.

With a change of thought, Meng Shuyu continued to move forward.

The two little girls looked up when they heard the noise, their faces turned pale with fright: "Meng, Assistant Meng, good morning..."

Meng Shuyu pretended not to hear the gossip of the two people and shook the file bag in his hand: "Good morning, I have some materials here for Manager Lin to stamp."

The more active one quickly stood up and answered: "Okay, Assistant Meng, I'll give it to Manager Lin when he gets here, and I'll send it to the General Manager's Office when it's finished."

Meng Shuyu smiled and thanked him, then turned and walked into the corridor, leaving behind an eye-catching back view.

She has a thin waist and back, a long neck and flat shoulders, and a straight spine that carries a dashing spirit. Her legs are well-proportioned and straight under her apricot knee-length suit skirt, and every steady step she takes is within people's aesthetic comfort zone.

The girl watched the man leave and returned to her workstation with the file bag in her arms. "The people who come from the headquarters office are different from us who stay in the industrial park every day. Just because Mr. Cai assigned such a stylish and stylish general assistant, I think this new leader is not simple."

At ten minutes before nine, Meng Shuyu led the general manager's office and his team to the bottom of the office building, ready to welcome their new boss.

Taking into account the resistance of the top management of Sendai towards external managers and the inappropriateness of making a high profile unnecessary, Meng Shuyu did not organize a ceremony of having all the department heads line up to welcome him, and only brought a few of his own people.

The scorching sun made the asphalt road and the trees shine brightly. Meng Shuyu looked up at the driveway and strengthened his belief.

"Everything that happened yesterday is like yesterday's death." Yesterday's embarrassed Meng Shuyu was embarrassed to death. From today on, the only person who will appear in front of Zhou Jun will be the heroic, smart and capable Assistant Meng.

Assistant Meng looked for a quarter of an hour, but the sun was so strong that he could not open his eyes, and he still did not see any trace of the car.

Meng Shuyu was thinking about calling Ren Xu when he suddenly heard the sound of traffic coming from another direction.

The group turned around and saw a black Mercedes-Benz S600 approaching at a constant speed and slowly stopped in front of them.

Meng Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, opening the back door with one hand and considerately blocking the edge of the roof with the other.

A pair of black and shiny men's leather shoes landed on the asphalt ground. Zhou Jun bent down and got out of the car, his tall body standing straight in a line.

Meng Shuyu vaguely heard the secretary girl behind him take a deep breath.

As a woman, Meng Shuyu understood the amazement in the tone very well.

If she had not met Zhou Jun in advance, she would probably be unable to bear it now.

Meng Shuyu prepared an official smile with eight teeth and bowed to Zhou Jun: "Good morning, Mr. Zhou, I am Meng Shuyu, your administrative assistant in Sendai. On behalf of the General Manager's Office and all colleagues in various departments, welcome you to join Sendai!"

The people behind him followed suit and bowed.

Zhou Jun nodded: "Protect..."

Meng Shuyu suddenly raised his eyes.

"… There was a small accident in Anting." Zhou Jun was interrupted for half a second by her panicked look. He glanced at her casually, then looked at everyone, "Everyone, please wait."

"… "

Meng Shuyu rubbed the sweat on his palms as if nothing had happened and laughed: "Mr. Zhou, you're welcome."

Fortunately, apart from Zhou Jun, no one else present could understand her fear of the word "treasure".

Seeing the driver lower the window as if to complain, Meng Shuyu immediately resumed his businesslike attitude: "Assistant Ren, what's going on?"

"The gate at the main entrance of the park was broken, so we went in from the back door. Assistant Meng, do you think this is a coincidence? The gate of Moridai doesn't seem to be very welcoming to Mr. Zhou."

Meng Shuyu became really serious now.

She had foresight and did not let those old foxes come to meet her. She didn't know which bored person would play such a trick and had to embarrass Zhou Jun today.

Really know how to find something for her to do.

Meng Shuyu pursed his lips, feeling a little angry: "I will give Mr. Zhou a reasonable explanation today."

"Assistant Meng, don't worry about trivial matters," Zhou Jun smiled without telling whether he was happy or not, and walked forward, "I'm here anyway, whether you're welcome or not."

“Although I can’t really say what’s so awesome about it, I just think it’s a bit awesome…”

At 12:30 pm, in the empty cafeteria, Tang Xuanxuan recalled Zhou Jun's response at the bottom of the office building that morning and asked across the table, "Don't you think so, Sister Shuyu?"

Meng Shuyu: “I don’t think so.”

"oh… "

"Because I can't say I'm that great." Meng Shuyu picked up the plates and told Tang Xuanxuan to leave.

Meng Shuyu had more than three years of work experience and was good at judging people. He thought the secretary girl in the general manager's office was someone who could talk privately, so he said a few more words: "When you encounter something like this, if you keep silent and suffer the loss, it's cowardly, and if you investigate it thoroughly, it's impatient. If you speak out openly, it will make people feel like they are hitting cotton with their fists. Isn't that quite magnanimous?"

Although the incident with the barrier pole was just a minor episode, it is not difficult to see Zhou Jun's way of dealing with people from the small details.

Perhaps the person who made the move also wanted to test Zhou Jun's temper at the beginning.

"That makes sense. If it were the previous prince, he would have been furious. Now think about it, the more insecure a person is, the more likely he is to lose his temper over such trivial matters. The really capable people just treat it as a joke." Tang Xuanxuan said in a low voice, and left the cafeteria with Meng Shuyu. She looked back at the private room on the third floor, "Hey, don't we have to wait for President Zhou?"

"What? Haven't we walked enough together this morning?"

After Zhou Jun arrived at the company in the morning, Meng Shuyu and three secretaries from the general manager's office accompanied him to visit the park.

As one of the well-known leaders in the smart home industry, Yongyi has developed three sub-brands, among which Sendai specializes in the field of kitchen appliances.

The largest area in the entire Sendai Industrial Park is the production workshop and laboratory building.

Originally, considering that Zhou Jun is a general talent and would inevitably need an adaptation period in the professional and technical field, it was enough to just take him on a quick tour to familiarize himself with the environment on the first day. Unexpectedly, he got into the role directly.

When visiting the workshop, none of Meng Shuyu's prepared explanations were used. Zhou Jun could talk to the engineers for half an hour by himself, and Meng Shuyu and the others had to concentrate to keep up with his pace.

After three hours of intense concentration, Meng Shuyu now just wanted to take a legal lunch break to avoid feeling dizzy in the afternoon.

After returning to the general manager's office, Meng Shuyu set the alarm clock and huddled into a corner with Tang Xuanxuan, each of them opening a recliner.

Meng Shuyu's biological clock is regulated very regularly by his work life, so he can fall asleep at the speed of light without any preparation.

After a deep sleep, I woke up to hear a cautious male voice: "Sister Shuyu..."

Meng Shuyu opened his eyes in a daze and saw Feng Yiming, the male secretary working at the next desk.

Perhaps because he was embarrassed, Feng Yiming did not dare to come over to wake her up. He called her in a low voice for a long time, "Sister Shuyu, there's a call for you."

"Oh..." Meng Shuyu sat up from the recliner, not quite sober, and asked casually, "Who is it?"

Feng Yiming stretched his neck to look at the phone on her workstation, tilted his head and read word by word: "Matsushimaya Nanhuai 1st Store 187 tall and cool long-legged handsome man don't like outdated routines?"

“…???”

A sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door. Before Meng Shuyu could react, a pair of black, shiny leather shoes had already stopped at the office door.

The general manager's office, who was already immersed in a coma, was silent for a moment.

Meng Shuyu and Feng Yiming's sight followed the pair of leather shoes and slowly moved up 187 centimeters -

I saw Zhou Jun holding a cell phone.
