Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 25: Mini-Games

Jiayi almost screamed aloud.

The man had anticipated this, quickly covering the girl’s mouth with his hand.

"You—let go—let go—help!"

How can such an awesome company have a robber break in! Jiayi fought against the man’s restraint, hitting and slapping, but was no match for his strength.

With a forceful grip, the man implored without choice, "Shut up."

Jiayi froze, then relaxed her mouth.

It was him, it was Huo Zhenyang. Was he some kind of pervert? Why would he be here, in the ladies’ restroom of all places!

"How did you come in here?" She hadn’t yet recovered from her shock.

Huo Zhenyang let go of her momentarily, but the confined space still had them standing very close to each other.

He scrutinized her, his eyes briefly glittering with an inexplicable sheen.

The man’s unabashed, unreserved scrutiny made Jiayi quite uncomfortable.

"You look like this on your first day at work, and I heard you got a talking-to by your supervisor. If anyone found out your identity, it would embarrass me, wouldn’t it?" Finally, Huo Zhenyang looked away, his voice slightly cold, and took something out of his pocket, tossing it lightly into her arms.

Jiayi took a look and saw it was a pair of brand-new silk stockings: "How did you know my... stockings were torn?"

"George is the most professional bodyguard. Although he didn’t drive you to the door, he followed you the whole time. Of course, he would tell me everything you did." The man glanced at her sideways.

"... But that doesn’t mean you had to personally deliver... the stockings." Jiayi was practically on her knees in gratitude.

Huo Zhenyang snorted softly through his nose, his gaze deepening, "I was already out for some business and simply brought them along. What makes you think I would come especially for that?"

She had set rules with him, they couldn’t let the company staff know about their relationship, so he must have sneaked in here for that reason.

The CEO of the huge conglomerate, the top authority, would he not be familiar with his own company’s layout?

Entering a women’s restroom should be a piece of cake, right?

Unable to help herself, Jiayi chuckled, but when she saw the man’s darkening expression, she quickly suppressed her laughter. Just then, a familiar female voice came from the door:

"Jiayi, aren’t you done yet? Manager Cui is looking for you."

It was Tang En’en coming to look for her.

Jiayi got startled, the restroom was too quiet, and she feared Tang En’en would notice her own heavy breathing. She hurriedly signaled the man with her eyes, her expression fully conveying, "don’t talk, don’t make a sound... forget that, just hold your breath for now".

The man raised an eyebrow, his long, slanted eyes questioning, "Am I really so disgraceful?" and then leaned forward slightly.

His masculine and sharp presence enveloped her, and Jiayi knew the man was doing this to get back at her. She wouldn’t dare make a sound, her breath nearly halted, her beautiful eyes wide, she glared at him.

"Jiayi, what’s wrong? Is there something the matter?"

It’s just removing a pair of stockings, does it need to take so long? Hopefully, nothing happened. Tang En’en thought it strange and walked in.

Jiayi’s heart leapt to her throat, but then she quickly responded loudly, "No, I’m here, En’en, I’ll be right out. You go back to the office first."

Having heard a response from her, Tang En’en relaxed, withdrawing her hand from the door, "Okay, then hurry up," she looked around, confirmed that the restroom was empty, and whispered, "That she-devil was really angry when she saw you were gone, demanded you go in right away. I was afraid she would lay into you later. I’m heading back now."

"Okay, thanks, En’en." Jiayi, thinking about Manager Cui’s scolding, panicked and nodded her head quickly.

The man took in her flustered appearance, his face moved imperceptibly, but he said nothing.

As Tang En’en’s footsteps grew fainter, the sweat on Jiayi’s back also dried, "Okay, you can go now. If someone saw you, the grand CEO, come to a branch office and, on top of that, in the women’s restroom, you’d lose a lot of face!"

Huo Zhenyang saw the girl’s small face change from pale with tension to a rosy hue, having never found teasing someone so amusing.

He raised his eyebrows with interest, thinking that if it were his former self, he would have found such a move to be very childish.

A CEO, personally visiting a minor branch office, and even following a woman into the ladies’ restroom to deliver a pair of pantyhose?

However, now he discovered that this kind of exhilarating little game, even if played a few more times, might never bore him.

Shrugging his shoulders, Huo Zhenyang left.

Jiayi sighed with relief, quickly changing into new pantyhose and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at her situation. Having just handled a big bad wolf, now she had to deal with a tigress.

Was she now living in a world of beasts?

Five minutes later, she exited the restroom and returned to her cubicle in the office, sitting down.

"You’re back," said Tang En’en greeting her from nearby.

Jiayi pulled her aside secretly: "Didn’t you say Manager Cui was looking for me? I haven’t seen her around."

"Huh, she was here just a moment ago, and I haven’t seen her for quite a while either," Tang En’en looked around the room.

Meanwhile, in the manager’s office of J&J.

Manager Cui stood trembling in front of her own desk, still unable to snap out of shock.

My God, the CEO of the group actually made a personal visit to J&J, the first time ever, and he didn’t even send a notice in advance.

It was more nerve-wracking than an emperor’s incognito visit!

What’s more, Manager Cui’s title wasn’t the highest in J&J; with the president’s arrival, instead of going to the general manager of J&J, he came to her office!

Only after a long wait did Manager Cui dare to slightly lift her glasses and look behind the desk.

In the executive chair where she would normally sit and berate her employees, there now sat a straight figure, facing away from her, seemingly admiring the cityscape outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The man’s slender and strong fingers gently tapped on the surface of the desk, with the atmosphere chillingly calm.

"How many years have you been at J&J?" At last, the person behind the chair spoke.

"Ten years, President," Manager Cui quickly replied, squeezing out sweat.

"Have you always been a manager?" His tone remained light.

"Yes, I started in this position two years after joining the company." Manager Cui, upon hearing this question, was secretly thrilled. Could it be that the president saw her potential and wanted to promote her?

After a pause, the man’s voice drifted out: "Starting from today, go work in the warehouse of J&J for two months."

Manager Cui’s joy abruptly stopped, stunned: "What do you mean?"

She was supposed to be a smartly dressed manager every day; why should she go to the warehouse and do those rough tasks?

"Being in a high position for a long time, many issues at the grassroots level are overlooked. Working in the warehouse can be a good training. After two months, my assistant will ask the warehouse storekeepers about your performance. If it meets the standard, we will talk again. Starting now," the man said unhurriedly, standing up at the end.

He paced around her and had already pushed the door and left.

Manager Cui wished she could smash her head against tofu to death, wondering which unlucky star she bumped into today, but she could only dejectedly carry her stuff, with a long face, down to the basement warehouse.

*

When the office heard that Manager Cui was temporarily assigned to work in the warehouse for two months, it buzzed with surprise.

"Really?" Jiayi was astonished.

"Could there be any fake?" Tang En’en sidled up to her ear mysteriously: "I heard it’s someone from the headquarters who ordered her to the warehouse, but no one knows who."
