Don't Turn from Summer
http://www.xiainovel.com/novel/dont-turn-from-summer
Mu HanXia's vision swept across the car, peering into the car. Inside were two unfamiliar, young men. She then looked at the license plate: al8m27.
Some habits have continued to follow her through all these years. For example, regardless of which country she was in, which location she was at, once she saw a Cayenne, her gaze would always stop for a moment.
"Manager Mu, over here." Feng Nan said, " Come look, across the street is one of Feng Chen's department stores. To tell the truth, our sales people aren't as good as theirs.
Upon hearing that, Mu HanXia lifted her head, across the public square, opposite of Fang Yi, was precisely Feng Chen's characteristic silver-grey building. Today was a workday. But, there were still many cars parked at the entrance. Several enormous billboard advertisements were embedded in the building. They seemed both fashionable and grand.
----
Lin MoChen, in this way, sat down in the car. Separated by a lane on the road and a slice of sunshine, he quietly looked towards her.
In the front row was Sun Zhi's personal driver and his personal assistant. As a matter of fact, he had already retired from the big boss position for many years. Recently, he had suddenly come to Beijing. In addition, he had also wanted to use a car. It made the two assistants very nervous.
In the end, they went from the airport all the way to their current location.
As an executive's assistant, they naturally were sophisticated. When the two people had met Lin MoChen, they had not been given any other instruction for the time being. Exchanging a meaningful glance, one of them said: "Director Lin, would you like to rest for a bit, sir? I will withdraw and smoke a cigarette first." The other person said: "I will go buy two bottles of water."
Lin MoChen did not speak.
The two people got off the car, and the interior of the car quickly became calmer. Lin MoChen sat still. Afterwards, he slowly leaned forward and he pressed the button for the car window.
The car window rolled down. In his clear field of view, there wasn't anymore separation
She turned her head and slightly smiled as she followed Feng Nan to enter the store.
Her figure disappeared behind the door.
......
Her hair had grown longer. The bit of baby fat on her face seemed to have disappeared. Her face had sharpened a bit. It appeared like there wasn't much change, yet it also felt as if there were a lot of changes.
She had lifted her head and looked at Feng Chen with a calm appearance.
Lin MoChen slowly rolled up the car window.
The two assistants had also timely returned to the car.
"Let's leave," they heard the young chairman serenely say.
----
Lu Zhang was in a good mood today because he heard Feng Nan say that that old lady had come to the office this afternoon to find him only to be stood up by him. Also, he had gone with a few of his brothers (non-literal) this afternoon to a club to play around. He had even won one hundred thousand off them. The money wasn't important. The important point is that his luck (in gambling) was booming.
Humming the tune of a game, with both of his hands in his pockets, he walked out of the elevator. At this point, the sky had already begun to darken. The top floor still had a few employees that hadn't finished working. Seeing him, they all hurriedly smiled and nodded: " Hello Chief Lu !" "Hello Young Chief Lu!"
"En." With a flat expression, he walked over.
From far away, he saw that behind the secretary's desk at the entrance of his office sat a woman. He raised his eyebrows a few times.
Feng Nan, on this matter, had done quite well.
He had long wanted him to find a reliable but also beautiful secretary. His previous secretary had been very pretty, but she was a bit dumb and naive. She would also ask him for instructions for nearly everything. He was nearly annoyed to death. It hadn't been two weeks before he had found an excuse to fire her.
The one in front of his eyes was different. She looked to be around 26,27 years old. Although she was a bit old, she was still fully inside his acceptable range. She was very pretty looking, and her outfit was very pleasing to the eye with good taste. Seeing that he had arrived, she put down the magazine in her hands and stood up. The corners of her black eyes immediately had a shallow, slight smile.
Clever.
Lu Zhang faintly smiled. His finger lightly knocked on her desk. With a deep and low voice that had a slight bewitching quality to it, he said: "Go, first go brew me a cup of coffee." After saying that, without waiting for her response, he immediately entered his office.
The smile in Mu HanXia's eyes had yet to fade. After glancing in the direction of his office, she, not slowly but not quickly, walked towards the beverage room.
"Oh, that's right. What's your name? I'm talking about your English name." His voice was heard.
"Carol." Mu HanXia replied.
After some time, Mu HanXia entered the office carrying a cup of coffee. Lu Zhang had already taken off his jacket. He very rarely wore formal wear. Wearing a long-sleeve shirt, a t-shirt, casual pants and a pair of sneakers, he sat behind the large boss' desk. Waving to Mu HanXia: "Carol, bring it over."
Mu HanXia passed the coffee to him before sitting down in front of him. Lu Zhang saw that her appearance was calm and composed and that her movements were not tense but not slow. Furthermore, after sitting down, her hand laid on the armrest. Unexpectedly, she had a type of confidence.
Oh, this time Feng Nan had found someone that was different from the predecessors.
Lu Zhang smiled satisfied and began to drink coffee.
"Carol, you have just arrived today. Did you see an old lady come to find me this afternoon? If she comes again, continue to block her for me. From the looks of it, you should have already been a secretary for many years, right? I don't have to teach you about these things, right?
Mu HanXia paused. A smile flitted across her eyes as she extended her hand towards him: "Hello, Chief Lu. I have yet to introduce myself. I am Mu HanXia."
"Pft ......" A mouthful of coffee sprayed out of his mouth, covering the table. Mu HanXia deftly moved her hand. She almost wanted to laugh, but she suffocatingly resisted the urge.
Lu Zhang lifted his face and looked at her with an embarrassed expression. He used a paper towel to quickly wipe his face. Mu HanXia looked at him with a mild expression. After he had finished tidying himself, she, with the same smiling expression as before said: " Chief Lu, I didn't expect for you to treat me as a secretary. I hope that from now on we will have a pleasant cooperation."
Lu Zhang had an unsightly expression: "Are you sick, why did you pretend to be my secretary?"
Mu HanXia: "I never pretended."
Lu Zhang was at a loss for words. Thinking about it, it was he who had made the assumption after a glance before sending her to make coffee. However, his heart was still uncomfortable. Coldly, he said: "Whatever. In short, I don't think there is anything very pleasant about this. Mu HanXia, right? Welcome. Do as you wish. I won't accompany you much longer." Taking the gaming equipment by the wall, he walked to the door.
"Wait, Chief Lu." Mu HanXia said, "Tomorrow, at nine am, I want to hold a meeting with all of the department managers to discuss the future development of this business department. I hope that you can show up. I also have some ideas that I want to discuss with you."
Lu Zhang sneered. Turning around, facing her he said: "Manager Mu, I will directly tell you. What I (T/N: arrogant form of I) hate the most is my father appointing people to manage my business department. After one leaves, another one comes. Do as you like but remember one thing. This company, this entire corporation will all become mine in the future. If you want to work here for a long time, it is best for you to listen to me. Don't give a pile of work. This principle, you should understand, right?"
Despite his overbearing manner. Mu HanXia only remained silent for a moment before smiling: "Is this how you have treated all the people that have come to help you in these past few years?"
Lu Zhang only coldly smiled without talking.
"So, you haven't actually held any real authority in this corporation?" She spoke again.
Lu Zhang was stumped. Without any patience, he only cursed "mental case" once and left.
When going downstairs, Lu Zhang lazily leaned against the elevator, thinking that this time was rather troublesome. His father this time had not only sent an old woman but also sent an old vixen (cunning person)!
----
Lu Zhang's attitude was quite nasty and rude, but Mu HanXia didn't take it to heart. For her dinner, she didn't have Feng Nan arrange it. Instead, she ate a simple meal by herself at a place downstairs from her apartment. After her meal, she ran a few laps around the neighbourhood before going upstairs again. This had been her simple lifestyle for many years now.
In the dead of the night, there was little starlight outside. There was only the light from other buildings that reflected into the room. Or, perhaps it was because she was in an unfamiliar room, Mu HanXia, tossing and turning, had a hard time falling asleep.
Finally, in a daze, her brain suddenly thought of the Cayenne car's license plate that she had seen today.
al8m27.
......
Her birthday was February seventh.
Lin MoChen's birthday was August twenty-seventh.
