Chapter 211: Wait… Was This How It Was Supposed to Turn Out?
Luo Chenxi became extremely embarrassed. “Mommy, it was just a coincidence… Erm, Young Master Mu must be in a meeting, that’s why he’s not picking up. Don’t worry, I’ll try ringing his assistant up.”
This time, she dialed Zhuo Feng’s number.
In contrast to Young Master Mu, Assistant Zhuo picked up the call rather quickly.
“Hello, Assistant Zhuo, I’m…”
“I know, I know it’s you, Young Madam, what brings you to make this call? Is there anything I can do for you?”
Zhuo Feng took the initiative to greet Luo Chenxi enthusiastically.
The last time he accidentally hung up on Luo Chenxi, she royally screwed him over with a simple lunch box made with ‘love’.
Later, he learned his lesson and saved Luo Chenxi’s cell phone and landline numbers, so he could be prepared to pick up her calls and avoid offending her again in the future.
He had finally managed to understand a fact—Despite the Young Master and the Young Madam frequently getting into fights, they truly loved each other!
For a poor single man like him to be caught in between, he would be considered lucky if all he got was getting constantly flaunted with the couple’s love.
However, should he take a misstep on the minefield, he could very well end up being cannon fodder caught in between the crossfire!
‘Don’t get on their bad side… Don’t get on their bad side…’
Luo Chenxi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Assistant Zhuo, no need for such courtesy. I’m only calling to ask if Mu Yichen is currently in the office.”
Zhuo Feng answered in surprise, “Of course he is, the chairman has been in his office all day as soon as he arrived! He hasn’t met anyone else today as well.”
As expected, that man must be ignoring her call on purpose!
Luo Chenxi was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Zhuo Feng continued, “Young Madam, may I ask why you’re asking this? Could it be that you are going to bring the chairman lunch? That’s great! Let me just…”
“Cough, cough! Assistant Zhuo, you’re overthinking it…” Luo Chenxi quickly cut him off.
“Here’s how it is, Mu Yichen didn’t pick up his phone when I called just now, I guess it’s because there’s something wrong with his cell phone. So, can I trouble you to relay this message to him?
“I’m currently visiting a friend at Yi He Hospital, so I’ll be home late. Can you ask him to find the time to pick me up? Oh, by the way, make sure to pick up Tang Tang first before coming here.”
Zhuo Feng readily agreed. “Absolutely, Young Madam. Leave it to me! I’ll return with good news!”
Back when Mu Yichen went abroad, Zhuo Feng witnessed the Young Madam and Young Master quarreling in the office.
However, as soon as the chairman returned, the Young Madam proactively asked him to pick her up.
It seemed to Zhuo Feng that the two had already made up with each other.
An opportunity to be a messenger for this pair of husband and wife meant that he could get on the good side of the both of them at the same time! He could possibly receive a raise if the chairman got in a good mood too.
Zhuo Feng hung up the phone, then immediately turned around and walked toward the chairman’s office.
Next, he knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
Zhuo Feng pushed the door open and entered with a smile on his face. “Chairman, has there been a problem with your cell phone? The Young Madam just dialed my number, she said that she would be home late today, so she hopes you can go and pick her up after fetching the Little Miss from kindergarten…”
“What does it have to do with me? Why should I care if Luo Chenxin gets home late? Why did you purposely come here to bother me over such a trivial matter?”
Mu Yichen coldly cut him off before he could finish.
Assistant Zhuo was dumbfounded.
Wait… Was this how it was supposed to turn out?
Should the chairman not jump up in joy and leave work early as he gave the rest of them a half day off?
“The company spends a ton to hire you so that you would handle work properly instead of trying to cotton up to the chairman’s wife! You better rethink and understand your supposed responsibilities in this company! Make this mistake one more time and you’ll be sacked from the job!”
Mu Yichen stared coldly at Zhuo Feng.
The man was in a very bad mood.
Could that woman not try calling him a few more times even if he hung up?
She actually gave up after calling only once!
To top it off, she even had another man relay her message!
Zhuo Feng was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. His voice was trembling as he said, “Yes… Yes, chairman, I’ll get my *ss out of here at once!”
