Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 576 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (16)

Mu Zhou never expected that the job Xu Ran arranged for her would be his secretary.

Xu Ran has three secretaries, each responsible for a different area, while Mu Zhou does not need to be directly responsible for anything at the moment.

Her job duties are mostly quite simple.

such as……

"Mu Zhou, bring Mr. Xu a cup of coffee. Just follow the form I sent you for the coffee request."

"Ok."

Mu Zhou got up and walked towards the tea room.

For example, making coffee for Xu Ran.

Linda was somewhat surprised to see Mu Zhou go straight to the tea room without bringing his phone or the printed request.

Mr. Xu has high standards for life, including the preparation of coffee; he can't tolerate even the slightest error in the proportions.

When she first arrived, she would carefully follow the printed instructions step by step every time she made coffee, afraid of making any mistakes.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhou remembered everything on his very first day.

She was very satisfied with Mu Zhou's work attitude.

But in fact, Mu Zhou had been observing Xu Ran for many years since his student days and knew his preferences all along.

Over the years, Xu Ran's tastes have not changed at all.

So she easily made coffee and knocked on Xu Ran's office door.

"Enter."

Upon hearing his voice, Mu Zhou pushed open the door and went in.

Xu Ran did not look up.

He only stopped moving when the coffee cup was placed beside his hand and he saw the familiar bracelet on that fair wrist.

He looked up at her.

Mu Zhou smiled at him:

"Mr. Xu, your coffee."

For some reason, Xu Ran felt a little guilty.

He did not intentionally keep Mu Zhou by his side.

After sending my resume to HR yesterday, they only told me to arrange a relaxed position for me.

He knew Mu Zhou's personality well; he couldn't handle too much pressure.

Unexpectedly, the personnel department assigned him directly to his secretary's office.

He was also surprised when he found out.

But when HR asked if he needed to be transferred to another position, he remained strangely silent.

Ultimately, Mu Zhou's position was decided.

Faced with Mu Zhou's innocent and grateful smile, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

It was as if he harbored some ulterior motive.

He picked up his coffee, took a sip to conceal his intention, and asked as calmly as possible:

"How's the work? Are you able to adapt?"

"Great, everyone is very friendly, and they will teach me if I don't understand something."

"That's good."

He didn't seem to care much; he was just asking casually. Mu Zhou looked slightly disappointed and left the office without saying anything more.

Xu Ran felt somewhat annoyed only after she left.

He shouldn't be so cold.

Mu Zhou had just arrived in a new environment, and he was the only person she knew, so it was normal for her to think of relying on him.

As Xu Ran thought this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He thought, why not take Mu Zhou out for lunch?

It was a way of helping her adapt to her new workplace.

So they arranged for a location.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhou left with her bag just as lunch break was starting, so she was already at the subway station when she received Xu Ran's call.

"where?"

Xu Ran thought Mu Zhou would wait for her, after all, today was her first day at work.

To his surprise, when he left the office, he found the desk empty.

Mu Zhou swiped his card while answering:

"I'm out. I'm going to buy some things. I just happened to be out during my lunch break. Mr. Xu, is there something you need?"

Xu Ran couldn't bring herself to say that she had already made a reservation and asked if she could come back to have lunch together, so she said calmly:

"nothing."

Then he hung up the phone.

With a cold expression, he said to his assistant:

The restaurant is cancelled.

*

Mu Zhou went to a shopping mall, picked out a pair of shoes, and bought a sandwich for lunch.

Seeing that she still had time, she bought an ice cream and casually strolled around while eating it.

During this time, Shen Linshu called.

"You went to Xu Ran's company?"

His tone was calm, but one could hear the disbelief beneath the calm surface.

And anger.

She would rather go to Xu Ran's company than come to his.

When Shen Linshu learned of this news, he wished he could just go and take her away.

Mu Zhou knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she readily admitted it:

"Yes, I am his secretary now."

"Why? He treated you like that, he used you, why are you still so attached to him?"

Shen Linshu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and was about to speak again when Mu Zhou interrupted him.

"Shen Linshu, are you yelling at me?"

Her tone was soft yet aggrieved.

Shen Linshu's unfinished words were choked back.

He felt a lump in his throat, unable to expel it, and his face looked extremely pale.

But Mu Zhou's words, which sounded like a coquettish remark, ultimately comforted him.

When he spoke again, his voice was much softer:

"I didn't yell at you. Where are you? I'll come find you."

"I'm on the first floor of Daoxin Plaza. My shoes are uncomfortable, so I'm here to buy a new pair. You don't need to come looking for me. I'm going back to work after I've finished shopping."

As Mu Zhou spoke, he looked up and saw Lin Yumo not far away.

She said to Shen Linshu on the other end of the phone:

"I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I saw Yu Mo."

After Mu Zhou finished speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at Lin Yumo, who was not far away.

Lin Yumo went on a shopping spree today, but still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

Jiang Chenbai discussed with her yesterday about canceling the engagement.

She disagreed and wanted to reason with him and persuade him to maintain the marriage, promising not to interfere in his private life.

He implied that she wouldn't mind if Mu Zhou became his mistress.

Of course, she could not allow Mu Zhou to exist.

Her plan was to appease Jiang Chenbai first, and then deal with Mu Zhou slowly later.

But to his surprise, Jiang Chenbai refused.

She was so angry that she went shopping to vent her frustration.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw Mu Zhou.

With her pent-up anger finding an outlet, she pursed her lips and walked towards Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou spoke first:

"Yu Mo, it's been a long time."

Lin Yumo chuckled and looked her up and down.

Not a single luxury brand item; they were all cheap, unknown brands.

It seems Xu Ran doesn't care much about her.

She slightly raised her chin and said to her:

"It has been a long time indeed, but why did you buy such a no-name brand? Won't your feet rot from wearing them?"

She glanced at the brand name of the new shoes Mu Zhou was carrying and said disdainfully.

Seeing the shame on Mu Zhou's face, she pressed on:

"Doesn't Xu Ran give you any living expenses? That's why you're dressed so shabbily."

Mu Zhou couldn't answer; her smile was somewhat forced.

"I have to go to work, so I'm going home now."

But Lin Yumo wouldn't let her off so easily:

"Are you clinging to Jiang Chenbai because you're short of money? Does Xu Ran know you're flirting with men all the time?"

Mu Zhou's face turned pale, and he stared at her in disbelief:

“Miss Lin, please understand that it is your fiancé who is always harassing me. Please control your fiancé. If you have any complaints, go to him instead of me.”

Mu Zhou was also angered, and his tone was very serious.

Lin Yumo was already angry and wanted to vent her anger on Mu Zhou, but who knew that she would end up being lectured by Mu Zhou instead.

She was furious.
