Chapter 727 Jiang, the Sober Special Assistant

Mo Mo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not move for Sui Sui's sake.

Fortunately, the hug didn't last long. Huo Zhizhou let go of her after a minute or two, but his eyes were filled with reluctance and intense emotion. It was clear that he wasn't satisfied with just one hug.

He wanted to be with Jiang Ruan.

I want them to be as happy as they used to be.

"When are you going back to Haicheng?" Jiang Ruan asked him, her face remaining as calm and composed as ever. Nothing that had just happened had caused her any significant emotional distress.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were fixed on her: "The night after tomorrow, I'll be with you all."

Jiang Ruan: "Your injury?"

Although the stab wasn't very deep, I still got stabbed.

"It's alright." Huo Zhizhou felt full of energy. "There's a doctor on the plane, so even if there's an emergency, they can handle it."

Jiang Ruan thought about it and realized that made sense, so she ignored him and said, "Whatever."

"You care about me," Huo Zhizhou said affirmatively.

"You're overthinking it." Jiang Ruan had no intention of saying anything more to him. "When applying for flight routes, you don't need to include me and Mo Mo. Su Zhu and I have other things to discuss, so we won't be with you."

He left after saying that.

Without stopping for even a moment.

A few seconds later.

He was the only one left in the room.

The people at the door looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Stop them?

That doesn't seem quite right.

Shouldn't we stop them?

The boss looks a little unhappy.

"Miss Jiang, won't you stay a little longer?" Lin Bei asked boldly, "Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"

"No, I have other things to do," Jiang Ruan declined.

After confirming that Huo Zhizhou was alright, she saw no need to stay any longer. Her main purpose in coming here was to help him resolve his inner conflict, and now that it was resolved, she didn't need to worry about him anymore.

but--

Looking at Sui Sui standing beside her, she bent down and asked, "Do you want to stay here or with Mommy for the next few days?"

Sui Sui: "What are you busy with?"

Jiang Ruan answered truthfully, "I'm not busy with anything. I'll just chat with your Aunt Su Zhu and check on the branch office situation here."

Sui Sui thought for a moment and gave her an answer: "Then I'll stay here and keep an eye on Daddy so he doesn't ruin your date with Aunt Su Zhu."

"Okay." Jiang Ruan let him have his way, knowing his little thoughts. "Call Mommy if anything happens. Mommy's leaving now."

Sui Sui nodded: "Mmm."

Jiang Ruan rubbed his head and then left with Mo Mo.

After watching her leave, Lin Bei looked at Jiang Yu and Lin Feng: "Who wants to go in first?"

The group exchanged glances.

Then everyone looked at Sui Sui.

Sui Sui: "?"

Sui Sui: "What's wrong?"

Just as Lin Bei was about to coax Sui Sui inside, Huo Zhizhou's voice came from inside: "Aren't you coming in? Are you trying to be a doorman?"

Lin Bei: "..."

Lin Feng: "..."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

The three sighed and resignedly walked inside.

Seeing that Sui Sui was also there, Huo Zhizhou told Lin Feng, "Take Sui Sui to play for a while, I need to talk to them about something."

"How about I take the young master out to play?" Lin Bei hurriedly replied, his mind filled with thoughts of escaping this oppressive atmosphere. "I know this area quite well and I know where the fun places are."

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him.

Lin Bei immediately deflated: "Brother, you should go. I suddenly remembered that I have something to report to you."

Lin Feng was completely bewildered.

What just happened?

Despite his doubts, he still took Sui Sui out.

The moment the two left, the atmosphere in the ward instantly became so tense that even Jiang, Huo Zhizhou's assistant who had worked for him for many years, was a little overwhelmed.

They know.

The boss is really angry.

"Nothing to say?" Huo Zhizhou's dark, unfathomable gaze fell upon them.

Lin Bei and Jiang's assistant exchanged a glance.

The next second.

The two said in unison, "I was wrong."

No amount of sophistry or words will work in front of the BOSS.

If you honestly admit your mistake, you might be able to get lenient treatment.

"Just a mistake?" Huo Zhizhou's voice carried an invisible pressure.

"I promise I won't do it again." Lin Bei spoke quickly, and thinking about what had just happened, he tentatively said, "Could you forgive us this once, since Miss Jiang has made up with you?"

Assistant Jiang quickly nudged him with his elbow.

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei was completely confused.

Why did you hit him?

"When did Ruan Ruan make up with me?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

"Weren't you just hugging?" Lin Bei, oblivious to the problem, continued, "Miss Jiang also invited us to go back to Haicheng together. Doesn't that count as making up?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't reply, his gaze falling on Jiang Yu.

“The responsibility for this matter lies with me,” Jiang Yu said, remaining calm and rational. “If I hadn’t acted on my own initiative and been too clever for my own good, you wouldn’t have been injured, and Miss Jiang wouldn’t have been frightened. I am willing to accept any punishment.”

"What just happened?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Jiang Yu knew he was referring to the fact that they had conspired with Sui Sui to deceive him: "It was my negligence. As your special assistant, I should have followed your lead instead of acting on my own."

Huo Zhizhou: "Will you do it again next time?"

Jiang Yu: "This will only happen once; there will be no next time."

Huo Zhizhou turned his gaze to Lin Bei: "And you?"

"I..." Lin Bei felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at. He glanced at Jiang Yu out of the corner of his eye and quickly said, "Jiang Yu's meaning is my meaning. I promise I won't do it again and I will definitely behave properly."

"Where is Huo Sinian?" Since he knew he had been lying to him before, he asked again.

Jiang Yu answered seriously: "Hotel."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly: "Bring him here."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly: "Okay."

He immediately began preparations without the slightest delay.

Lin Bei, who had gone with him, was still in a daze, feeling extremely uneasy thinking about what had just happened: "It's all thanks to you, otherwise I would have stayed inside for a whole day."

Jiang Yu sat in the passenger seat: "You're overthinking it."

Lin Bei started the car: "I'm serious, my mind just went blank for some reason."

Jiang Yu said in a serious tone, "You will only stay for ten minutes. If you don't say something satisfactory after ten minutes, the BOSS will throw you out without mercy, and your position will be lowered."

Lin Bei paused.

I thought about it for a moment.

It seems... that's the case.

"When reporting to the boss, first explain your mistakes and the consequences," Jiang Yu reminded him. "As for the reasons, the boss will ask; we don't need to explain."

"I know." Lin Bei knew everything. "At the time, my emotions were too complicated, and my mind was a bit confused, so I forgot for a moment."

“You didn’t forget, you just felt that you had been by the BOSS’s side for a long time and were familiar with Miss Jiang, so you temporarily forgot your own identity.” Jiang Yu saw through it at a glance.

Lin Bei: "..."

Lin Bei coughed lightly: "If we don't expose each other, we can still be good friends."

Jiang Yu: "If I don't expose you, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to be my colleague."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Lin Bei thought about his actions for a moment. "I just felt that since the BOSS trusts us so much and has been through so much with us, it's okay to try to get closer to him."

“It’s fine to get closer to him normally, but we made a mistake and hurt him, so we should know our place.” Jiang Yu knows Huo Zhizhou well. “Only by always knowing our place can we gain more.”
