Chapter 477 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (3)

Mu Zhou jogged into the subway station, and only after passing through security did he finally feel completely at ease.

The man in the car is dangerous.

After searching through all the plot details, Mu Zhou could only suspect that the person was Gu Yanli, the big boss behind Jiang Yan.

In the story, Gu Yanli has a pair of gray eyes that are both dangerous and captivating.

She looks a lot like that man.

But how did he end up here?

Moreover, judging from his tone, it seems he was also there in the morning, which is why he said something like "I didn't admit my mistake."

For a fleeting moment, Mu Zhou even wondered if he had mistaken his target for someone else.

But she quickly shook her head and denied it.

Jiang Yan is clearly a male protagonist, first hitting rock bottom, then rising from the ashes.

And the person who got off the bus at that time was Jiang Yan, that should be correct... right?

Forget it, Mu Zhou decided to put these things out of his mind for now.

In the office, Mu Zhou was engrossed in his work. As it was almost time to leave, everyone relaxed.

At this moment, the manager handed a stack of documents to Mu Zhou:

"These are data from previous years. Please organize them and give them to me before you go to work tomorrow."

The people around them exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

The department head clearly didn't like the new employee, so who would dare to say anything?

So everyone continued talking, ignoring the absurdity of the situation.

Not to mention that these tasks should have been handled by designated people and shouldn't be managed by a newcomer like Mu Zhou, even if she had to do them, it would probably be past midnight before she could finish organizing everything.

But Mu Zhou didn't say anything extra, he just said:

"Good manager."

The manager pursed his lips and gave her a meaningful look before leaving.

At 10 p.m., Mu Zhou was really hungry, so he ordered takeout.

She strolled out of the office with her takeout order and went to the rest area on the thirteenth floor for the first time.

This is a small terrace, the largest space, and with a wide view.

However, this is a private rest area for senior leaders, and junior employees are not allowed to enter.

However, it was already after get off work hours, so naturally no one cared.

Mu Zhou opened the sushi box, took out a piece and put it in her mouth. Just as she was concentrating on eating the delicious food, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

She was so frightened that she immediately stood up.

Mu Zhou puffed out his cheeks and stared wide-eyed at the newcomer.

Standing before me was a capable middle-aged woman, Jiang Huazhen, the company's vice president.

Mu Zhou didn't even bother to chew, swallowing the sushi whole in one gulp:

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Unfortunately, after uttering that difficult sentence, she choked on her words and had to pick up a bottle of mineral water and drink most of it in one go.

At this moment, Jiang Huazhen walked up to her, patted her on the back, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm not a demon or monster, what's there to be afraid of?"

It took Mu Zhou a while to recover, her face already flushed red.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. I heard that no one is in charge here at night. I've been working overtime analyzing data and I'm getting a headache, so I wanted to come up here to clear my head."

"This place is open at night anyway, so it's fine for you to come."

Jiang Huazhen did not say anything about it.

She glanced at the documents in Mu Zhou's hand and teased, "Even eating a late-night snack doesn't stop you from working?" Her gaze then fell on the name tag on Mu Zhou's chest.

The star above her name indicates that she is a new employee who has been with the company for less than a year.

Lianzhong Group has a rule that new employees, who have been with the company for less than a year, cannot be assigned overtime tasks.

She glanced at Mu Zhou's department, a meaningful look flashing across her brow, but she didn't say anything.

Mu Zhou didn't dare stay any longer. While packing his things, he said apologetically:

"I'm not very familiar with these documents, so I thought I'd bring them along to take a look. Mr. Jiang, I'll be going now."

Jiang Huazhen knew that her employees would feel uncomfortable if she stayed, so she didn't keep her.

Mu Zhou picked up the water and sushi phone, and then hurriedly went to get the documents, but the documents suddenly slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Jiang Huazhen looked down and happened to see the words "Wendong Planning" in the open document.

Her expression changed slightly, and she squatted down to pick it up and casually flipped through it.

"You'll be in charge of this project independently?"

The tone was as if it were a casual question.

Mu Zhou nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation:

“The manager said he thinks I can handle it. Actually, I’m not very familiar with these things yet, but since the manager has given me this opportunity, I want to give it my best.”

As she spoke, she even flipped to the back of the page so that Jiang Huazhen could see her summary.

Jiang Huazhen initially thought this girl was just a silly girl who was being sold out and still helped the seller count the money. But after seeing her detailed and insightful summary, her expression became subtle.

Perhaps, this is someone who can be used.

She looked at Mu Zhou and gave him an even more amiable smile.

"You work very hard. I like employees like you. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to ask me."

Jiang Huazhen took out a business card with her personal contact information and email address on it.

Mu Zhou accepted it, flattered and surprised.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I will definitely work hard."

As Mu Zhou took the document, he heard her say again:

"There are many people in the company who are watching you closely, and you are a newcomer. You don't need to let others know about this, otherwise it will have a bad impact on you."

Mu Zhou nodded:

“I understand. When I first joined the company, many people suspected that I got in through connections because the chairman and I share the same surname, Mu, which caused me a lot of trouble.”

Mu Zhou's smile was innocent and carefree, with a distinct childishness and the harmless recklessness unique to young people, making it easy for people to let their guard down.

She sighed softly, slightly troubled:

"I finally managed to explain myself clearly, but when I saw the general manager's wife last time, she stared at me blankly for a while for some reason, which made everyone start to suspect that I am related to the boss's family again. Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Mu Zhou spoke so naturally that Jiang Huazhen didn't notice anything amiss, only realizing then that she and the chairman shared the same surname.

Thinking about Mu Zhou's words, something flashed through my mind, but I couldn't quite grasp it.

Just then, Mu Zhou said goodbye to her, so she didn't think much of it.

Back in his office, Mu Zhou calmly ate his sushi.

The factions within the Lianzhong Group are complex, and Mu Zhou has already gained a basic understanding of them.

The chairman still holds considerable power and has given very little to his only son, Mu Jin.

Although Mu Jin holds the position of general manager, he lacks appeal and personal charisma. However, as the sole heir, his subordinates can only fawn over him.

There was only one exception: Vice President Jiang Huazhen.

Jiang Huazhen has a straightforward personality and enjoys high prestige among the employees. She is a senior management talent that the chairman specially recruited from abroad. She has been with the chairman for nearly 20 years and is his most trusted confidante.

However, her relationship with Mu Jin was really just so-so, and it had only gotten worse in the last two years.

Mu Jin felt that she wasn't flattering him enough and was always going against him; his proposals were also constantly being criticized by Jiang Huazhen.

Jiang Huazhen felt that she was being targeted by the couple and that they were trying to marginalize her.

There's also Meng Xiyuan, who has always maliciously speculated that she has a special relationship with the chairman and is extremely wary of her.

This made her even angrier.
