Novel Bin Chapter 334 - She Is Really Back
Chapter 334: Chapter 335 She Is Really Back
The woman’s long brown hair was curly like soft waves. It gave off a handsome yet mature charm. I wasn’t familiar with any woman having this kind of hairstyle, and since she could sit in the chairman’s office and taste his precious tea, it could only mean that she wasn’t a nobody, so I didn’t think I knew this woman. However, I just couldn’t help but feel a touch of familiarity from the back of this strange woman, and it was a touch of familiarity that I was afraid of.
It was probably an illusion, but I felt that the woman’s shoulders trembled slightly when she heard Mo Yizhi call my name.
Mo Yizhi was a person with a strong oppressive aura. Although he was smiling, it still couldn’t completely conceal his oppressive aura that had been honed over the years. Chu Yuan instinctively hid behind me in fear. I hugged her shoulders and slowly pushed her to stand by my side. It was more polite this way, “Chairman, why are you looking for me?”
Mo Fei was also curious, “Uncle, Aunt Shan said that you are looking for Chu Nan because of a new arrangement for his position. I have already decided…”
“I’ll talk about that later,” Mo Yizhi walked around the desk, waved his hand to Mo Fei, and then smiled at me, “The reason why I want to invite you back to the company has nothing to do with business. We are fortunate enough to have one talented person joining Fengchang, and it just happens that this talented person is your old acquaintance. Haha, today is her first day in Fengchang, but I didn’t expect that you would come back to the company today, this is really a coincidence.”
Not only me and Mo Fei, even Chu Yuan couldn’t help but look at the woman sitting dignified with her back to us. She should be the so-called talented person mentioned by Mo Yizhi. But she and I were old acquaintances?
She got up slowly and turned around. Her movements were graceful and slow. However, her reaction was not as slow as my reaction. I even forgot how to react. The moment I saw her face, time seemed to have stopped, and my body seemed to have frozen…
“Xiao Nan, it’s been a long time…”
Her sweet and soft voice made me feel suffocated. It was a voice that I was familiar with but hadn’t heard for a very long time. Although she was wearing light makeup, she was still that elegant and pretty. The only thing different from the pretty face that remained in the memory in my mind was that there was no longer childishness on her face.
It was her; it was really her!
“Xiao… Zi?” I was sure it was her, but I couldn’t believe that it was her.
“….Elder Sister Ziyuan?!” Chu Yuan’s horrified little face had already turned pale. She trembled all over, and her body was leaning weakly against me. As if all her strength was drawn out from her body, she didn’t even have the strength to stand up. Only her ten fingers were clasping my arm tightly, almost pressing deep into my flesh.
When I called out her name, her eyes became misty, no longer having the complicated expression. Her pretentious calm smile also disappeared without a trace, and like a child, she pressed her lips tightly, as if she was about to cry out at any time.
One step, two steps… She walked faster and faster. Under Mo Fei’s surprised gaze, she eventually hugged me tightly, “I’m back…”
This was an unexpected reunion. The scene of this reunion surprised me. I used to imagine countless times what kind of expression she would have when we met again. But I had never expected such a hug…
The faint fragrance of her hair poured into my nose, making me dizzy, and the complex mood made me completely lose my ability to think logically. I hesitated until Chu Yuan released my hand. Only after I saw her nod to me reluctantly, I came back from my shock and hugged her gently. Patting her back comfortingly, I whispered to her ear, “Welcome back.”
She seemed to have lost a lot of weight. After hugging her in my arms, I couldn’t feel her weight at all.
But she also seemed to have become plumper. Although she was still so soft and slender, her breasts that were currently pressing me surprised me. It was so true that a young woman was very different from the little girl she once was. I still remembered that her breasts size used to be just like Chu Yuan, but now, they were almost comparable to Mo Fei…
“Yuan Yuan?” Just a hug was enough for her to blush. She was as shy as she was in the past. Not daring to face anyone other than Chu Yuan, she was both surprised and excited, “I haven’t seen you for five years, but you have grown up so much now. But… you are still as pretty and as cute as before.”
“Elder… Sister Ziyuan…” I could see that Chu Yuan was struggling. She also wanted to say something to Ziyuan, but she was so nervous and guilty that in the end, she couldn’t say anything.
“Good girl. You are still that shy and don’t like to talk.” Just like how she used to treat Chu Yuan, Ziyuan took out some candies from her pockets. Chu Yuan was dazed for a second but eventually took the candies from her hands silently.
Chu Yuan did not complain that Ziyuan was treating her as a child, because she knew that this was Ziyuan’s habit.
As if this little habit had a magical ability, it instantly swept away the sense of distance created by the fact that we had not seen each other in five years. Ziyuan was still Ziyuan, even though we both have grown up…
In fact, from the moment Ziyuan took out candies, I already knew that today’s reunion was definitely not a coincidence. Ziyuan didn’t like to eat candies, but when Chu Yuan was a child, she often bought a few pieces and hid them in her pocket. She used to use those candies to coax Chu Yuan, this bratty girl, who had strange tempers…
Although subconsciously, I hoped that it was really a coincidence that she had candies in her pocket.
“This is…” Mo Fei finally came back from her shock. She deliberately stood between Ziyuan and me and asked. Her face was very cold, and when she looked at me, her eyes were filled with jealousy.
“Miss Xue Ziyuan, graduated from Harvard University in the United States with an MBA degree.” Long Shan was introducing Ziyuan to Mo Fei, but she kept staring at me with a strange look, “Miss Xue and Chu Nan were childhood sweethearts. They were classmates in the same school until they graduated from high school.”
Mo Fei and I were both surprised. Although I knew Ziyuan was a good student back then, I still found it hard to believe that she got an MBA degree from Harvard University in just five years. The sense of distance that had just disappeared reappeared again, and she who was currently standing close to me felt like a dream to me.
Ziyuan took after her mother more. She was not as beautiful as Mo Fei or Chu Yuan, but she had the indescribable unique beauty of a biracial. At the same time, she also had the traditional Chinese character of being modest and introverted. A blush flashed across her fair and pretty face, instead of showing off to me, she was rather embarrassed.
Guilt could make people weak. I didn’t even have the courage to say “you are amazing” to her, because I knew nothing about her except knowing that she had gone to Boston. This was definitely contradictory to the deep friendship we had just shown.
I was very curious why Ziyuan didn’t ask me why I hadn’t contacted her over the years, but because she didn’t ask me, I also didn’t think I had the right to ask her why she didn’t contact me again over the years. We unanimously chose to avoid this most natural and embarrassing question.
“Hello, Miss Mo.” Ziyuan stretched out her hand to Mo Fei and said with a gentle smile, “I have heard a lot about you. From today, we will be colleagues. I’m looking forward to working with you.”
Mo Fei shook hands with her in a daze. Then Ziyuan turned to me and said with a smile, “Xiao Nan, we will be working in the same department from now on, can you show me around the investment department.”
“The same department?” Mo Fei and I were both startled.
“Oh, Fei’er, this is why I’m looking for you. ” Mo Yizhi smiled and said, “Isn’t the position of assistant to the general manager still vacant?” So Miss Xue will be working as your assistant from now on. She is new here, so please guide her and help her to get familiar with the work.”
“My assistant?” Mo Fei couldn’t hide her surprise, “But, uncle, I just decided to promote Chu Nan to be my assistant, and he also agreed…”
Not to mention that I did not agree to it for the time being, but obviously, Mo Yizhi did not intend to ask for my opinion at all. He simply said with an irrefusable tone to Mo Fei, “As for Little Chu’s position, I have other considerations. It has been decided.”
“But…”
“Fei’er!” Mo Fei still wanted to say something, but she was abruptly interrupted by Mo Yizhi. After he looked at me with a strange expression, he sighed and said calmly, “Work is work. So please don’t put me in a bad position, okay?”
Put the chairman in a bad position? What kind of bad position?
I was not interested in the position of assistant to the general manager. In fact, I even felt fortunate for it, but I was very concerned about Mo Yizhi’s attitude towards Ziyuan. That kind of attitude was no longer within the range of politeness. It was even not exaggerated to say that he was being obsequious.
When did Ziyuan come back? Why did she come to work for Fengchang? Why did Mo Yizhi put her in the investment department… There were so many questions, I didn’t even know where to start, let alone whether it was appropriate to ask now…
I didn’t like being manipulated and deceived. Looking at Ziyuan who was smiling at me, I suddenly felt that she was also wearing a mask on her face, a mask that was more complicated than Mo Fei and Chu Yuan…
What was she thinking?
Just when I was still thinking. Two mobile ringtones sounded one after the other. One of them was mine, and the other was Chu Yuan’s. This coincidence made everyone in the room slightly surprised.
