Chapter 84: Did Mo Jingshen Really Love Ji Nuan so Much?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Secretary An looked at Mo Jingshen’s unhappy eyes and explained softly, “CEO Mo, while you were away at your meeting, a call came from the counter that Miss Ji had come to visit you. I thought it was Mrs. Mo, so I didn’t stop her and let her in.”

“It was only when she came up that I realised it was the Ji family’s second miss. But she had already arrived at the office and said that there was something important that she had to see you for. I thought that she was, after all, Mrs. Mo’s family member and not an outsider, so I made the decision to let her wait in the office.”

Mo Jingshen had a look of cold mockery. “To think that Secretary An could make such a basic mistake. It seems like the high evaluation you received in America needs to be reconsidered.”

Secretary An’s expression faltered slightly. After two seconds, she gently said, “CEO Mo, I’m sorry. In the future, I won’t make such a mistake again. Anyone unrelated to the company won’t be easily allowed entrance. I also won’t let anyone into your office.”

Mo Jingshen’s expression did not reveal his emotions. “Ji Nuan is also unrelated to the company. When she comes, what do you plan on doing?”

Secretary An did not immediately reply. After a moment, she said, “If it’s Mrs. Mo visiting, I will first call CEO Mo to ask for instructions. After asking for instructions...”

“Ask for instructions?” Mo Jingshen glanced at Ji Mengran, who was still inside from the corner of his cold eyes. It was only a glance. He then indifferently spoke to Secretary An, “So that is your true motive?”

Secretary An lowered her eyes, her tone as gentle as usual. “CEO Mo, I don’t understand what you are saying.”

“Aside from Ji Nuan, anyone who wants to come to the office to visit me, let them look for Shen Mu first. If there’s a need, he will let them in,” Mo Jingshen tucked one hand into his pocket. He stood outside the office door, his tone indifferent and mild. “As for Secretary An, I will also have to ask for instructions from America to see if there’s a need to keep you at Mo Corporation.”

The words ‘ask for instructions,’ became heavier as Mo Jingshen spoke carelessly, causing one to feel fearful for no reason.

Secretary An pursed her lips for a moment, raising her eyes. “If CEO Mo feels that my decision to let Mrs. Mo’s sister in today was wrong, you can punish me accordingly. In the few days I have been in the Mo Corporation, aside from this, I have always done as I should. I have not made any mistakes. If CEO Mo wishes to send me back to America just like this, aren’t you making a judgment based on your own wishes?”

Mo Jingshen’s lips curved up imperceptibly. “My own wishes? And what are Secretary An’s intentions behind today’s actions?”

“I only let the Ji family’s Miss in. This is also because I considered that she is Mrs. Mo’s...” Secretary An calmly explained.

“From here on you can then smoothly use this incident to remind me to separate personal and business matters, and even if it’s Ji Nuan, she will have to go through you before she can enter the doors?” Mo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, cutting her off. He had a faint smile on his face, yet it was icy cold.

Secretary An perfectly displayed her good upbringing, smiling while revealing some stubbornness. “I only tried my best to fulfill my job. The CEO’s office isn’t a marketplace. The rules that should be had should be followed. In the past, I saw that you let your wife enter as she pleased, and so I thought you would not be too strict against her sister.”

She paused, and to prevent from angering him, she added softly, “I haven’t been in the Mo Corporation for long. Two days ago, I didn’t stay too long at the Mo home either. Toward the people you are used to having around you, I’m not familiar. I’m very sorry about such a mistake. Next time, I won’t repeat this mistake again.”

“There won’t be opportunities for next time,” Mo Jingshen unhurriedly and coldly claimed.

Secretary An tightened her brows. “CEO Mo.”

Mo Jingshen’s tone was low, containing an almost inhuman coldness. “Four days later, America’s Shine will come to the country to sign a contract. After the cooperation party, you will return with them.”

Secretary An gripped the documents in her hands tightly, almost unable to maintain the calm that she should have had.

“CEO Mo, are you in such a rush to send me back to America?”

“Shine suits you more.” He was aloof.

Secretary An was quiet for a moment. After some time, she raised her head and softly said, “Four days, is it? Then I will continue working by your side for the remaining four days. I will also remain responsible and complete what I need to do. I will prepare to transfer my work in four days as well. Thank you, CEO Mo, for your care in the past few days.”

Mo Jingshen appeared as though he did not hear anything, having already entered the office.

At the same time, he coldly glanced at Ji Mengran, who remained standing by the door. His voice was directed to the person outside. “Bring out this person the way you brought her in.”

Secretary An turned toward Ji Mengran. Ji Mengran still wanted to speak, but when she received Secretary An’s warning gaze, she paused for a moment and could only quietly say, “Brother Jing Shen, Secretary An is a good person. Don’t send her away because of me.”

Finishing her words, she walked away as though she was very kind and understanding.

The office door closed with a “peng.”

Ji Mengran glanced toward the closed door, quietly grumbling, “I really don’t understand how he thinks. How on earth is Ji Nuan good? She has so many weird tricks now and even shows off her affection with him all the time. Brother Jing Shen is such a low-key person, yet he does as she wishes, and even...”

Secretary An did not speak, only looking at the door that separated them.

She had known Mo Jingshen for years. She understood that he matured early into a calm and collected person, and also realized that when he handled matters, he was always low-key and subtle.

Accompanying a woman to show off their affection, he naturally disdained it.

Did he really love Ji Nuan so much?

Mo Nuan Studio, meeting room.

After receiving a call from the hospital, Ji Nuan directly came over. The two companies had just merged their offices, and there were still minor details left to be sorted through.

Before entering the meeting room, she sneezed twice. She clearly did not catch a cold; why was she sneezing?

Who was talking about her behind her back?

“Boss Nuan, the meeting is about to start! Are you feeling unwell?” Xiao Ba, the intern assistant that had joined them not too long ago, asked from the side in concern.

“It’s fine.” Ji Nuan walked in.

Today was the first meeting to discuss the details of merging the two companies as Mo Nuan Studio. After sitting down, Ji Nuan glanced around and took note of everyone’s expression. She somewhat understood in her heart.

After all, this was the management that Han Tianyuan left behind. Whatever had to happen would eventually happen.

Half an hour into the meeting, the HR manager stood up and spoke, “Miss Ji, I’ve decided to resign.”

Ji Nuan calmly glanced at him. “Reason?”

“I cannot work under a twenty-year-old woman. A young lady like you actually wants to lead our two companies and even wants to interfere in the property market. What combining office? From the way I see it, your plans and principles have not matured enough. Your office management is also very weak. This place no longer holds any potential for me.”

After the HR manager finished his words, the conference office fell into a strange silence.
