The Arrogant Young Master Became Obedient After Being BulliedChapter 33

Although it was a day off today, there was an important meeting at four o’clock in the afternoon. Secretary Liu, yawning, crawled out of the quilt, freshened up, put on a formal Western suit, stood in front of the mirror, tidied up the rough natural curls, fixed them with hair gel, and then put on silver-framed glasses.

Well, with renewed energy, the first stop was to take a taxi to the boss’ house. YytEuJ

Politely knocking on the door three times, he waited for a few seconds and then continued to knock three times, repeating this three times. The door finally opened. Jiang Zhou opened the door and turned in. Secretary Liu, who had a good eye, followed him inside and closed the door.

“Boss, there is a meeting at five o’clock, and the information of the participants is here.” Secretary Liu changed his shoes, took out the documents printed at home from the briefcase, and walked to the dining table.

Jiang Zhou was wearing a white shirt with a black suit vest over it. His suit jacket was put on a chair aside as he sipped on his coffee and said lightly: “Just put it next to it.”

“Alright.” Secretary Liu placed the documents on the table. When he got up, he noticed a cute gift bag placed beside Jiang Zhou’s hand. It looked very familiar. He took a closer look and when he saw bright red peeking out of the bag’s opening, he suddenly remembered. WOXGfd

This was the gift glove bought by Chen Ju. Didn’t he remind Chen Ju that his boss didn’t like it? How could it appear here?

While Secretary Liu was thinking, he suddenly felt that the surrounding aura was a bit off. He paused, slowly turning his head, just facing Jiang Zhou’s gaze.

Jiang Zhou leaned back in his chair. A faint smile on his lips didn’t quite reach his eyes. Secretary Liu couldn’t help but shiver, let out a nervous laugh, and asked, “Is there anything else Boss has ordered?”

“Liu Secretary, have you been feeling very skilled in your work recently?” Jiang Zhou squinted his eyes and said leisurely.

Secretary Liu felt bad and nervously replied: “It, it’s been fine.”

The slender fingers of Jiang Zhou tapped lightly on the table as he continued, “I don’t think so? I don’t remember the last time I asked you to call Chen Ju to the hotel.”

Secretary Liu broke into a cold sweat. Was this what they called settling scores at an opportune moment?

“Yes!” Secretary Liu immediately answered. His loud voice was as clear as it was during military training.

“Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!”

Chen Ju opened his eyes sharply, and a square-faced middle-aged man’s face came into view. The uncle joked: “Were you a thief last night? Why are you so sleepy? You can fall asleep even while standing.” M21WCu

Chen Ju embarrassedly rubbed his eyes and said, “No, no, I was playing with my mobile phone for too long.”

“Young people should play less with mobile phones,” the square-faced man patted Chen Ju’s shoulders. “You can go back to the security room to get some rest. I’ll watch over here.”

“It’s okay, I’m not sleepy anymore.” Chen Ju said quickly. In order to prove himself, he widened his eyes, making his naturally rounded eyes even rounder.

The square-faced uncle was amused and laughed. He said, “Alright, when you are sleepy, go back to rest. By the way, did your girlfriend like the gift you bought yesterday?” 1HTyfZ

Hearing the word ‘girlfriend’, Chen Ju’s sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden. His ears turned pink. He lowered his gaze, grabbed his uniform button, and stammered: “He, he probably didn’t like it.”

“Didn’t she like it? Most young girls should all like it. Did you take it back to exchange it?” The square-faced uncle exclaimed, “Change what she likes.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Chen Ju shook his head, feeling dejected. “He took it away and didn’t give it back in exchange.”

“Oh,” the square-faced uncle laughed, “Young girls speak with restraint; they might like something in their hearts, but they’re too shy to say it out loud.” cdNCfd

“Really?” Chen Ju perked up, and his eyes lit up with expectations.

“Of course! Otherwise, do you think she would wear it? Christmas is just around the corner, isn’t it?” The square-faced uncle was very enthusiastic about coming up with ideas. “You should ask her out for an evening!”

Chen Ju thought of Jiang Zhou’s face and quickly waved his hand, saying, ‘No, let’s forget about it. He’s very busy.’

That being said, Chen Ju continued to ponder what the square-faced uncle had said. He even secretly checked when Christmas day was, and it happened to be next Wednesday, his day off. Okx5Xg

If, if Jiang Zhou wasn’t busy, perhaps he could ask.

Soon, it was time to get off work. Chen Ju changed his clothes and walked to the entrance of the mall, subconsciously glancing at the roadside. The familiar black car was indeed parked there.

Chen Ju’s eyes lit up. He could not help but raise the corners of his mouth as he headed towards the car at a quick pace.

“Mr. Chen, good evening,” greeted Secretary Liu, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, with a smile. 0O41Nc

Chen Ju stopped and subconsciously looked at the back seat of the car. Jiang Zhou wasn’t there. His joyful mood from earlier suddenly disappeared, and his chest felt empty.

“Hello, Secretary Liu.” Chen Ju nodded and obediently opened the car door to get in.

Secretary Liu saw the lost expression on Chen Ju’s face through the rearview mirror, and said: “The boss had some last-minute matters and needed to go on a business trip for a week. He will probably be back next Thursday.”

Thursday, Isn’t that already past Christmas? Chen Ju clenched his clothes, hung his head low, and the decision he had made in the afternoon suddenly lost its meaning. Eit rH

This time, secretary Liu sent Chen Ju to his residence and watched him enter the house before feeling relieved.

“The cook has prepared the meal, and it should still be hot. If you need anything, just call me directly,” Secretary Liu said.

Chen Ju nodded. After watching Secretary Liu leave, he stood at the entrance restrainedly. Without Jiang Zhou, the room became exceptionally empty.

Putting on fluffy slippers, Chen Ju moved cautiously, as if he were a thief. He didn’t dare touch anything and walked silently, avoiding making any sounds. C7bnAY

At the dining table, there were hot dishes. His originally calm stomach began to rumble. Chen Ju had always been a food enthusiast, and he immediately forgot the mood just now, sitting at the table, eating with interest.

After eating, Chen Ju rubbed his full belly and looked around the empty room. It felt like a dream, as if he had woken up in that small rented room.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Maybe he hadn’t met Jiang Zhou at the class reunion at all?

Chen Ju pinched his own cheek; it hurt. It seemed like he wasn’t dreaming. Thinking of this, his mood was getting better again, and he packed up the dishes and washed them in the kitchen. jy T9h

Jiang Zhou was right. Everything was here. In the bathroom, two toothbrush and toothpaste holders were placed together. There were also two bath towels and bathrobes, and even the drinking glasses were in pairs. Chen Ju recognized his cup at a glance because there was a small orange print on one side.

Looking at the little orange on the glass, Chen Ju suddenly wanted to call Jiang Zhou. But, What would he say? He had already said thank you this morning. If he disturbed Jiang Zhou’s work…

Forget it, let’s wait until he comes back.

He wanted to thank him for providing such a nice place to stay, for buying him slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste holders, towels and glasses, and… PVnkKo

As he thought about it, Chen Ju yawned, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier until they finally closed. He hugged a pillow and fell asleep on the small sofa.
