“How can you be so happy just because of the snow?”
Zuo Hancheng’s voice suddenly came from behind her, and it was very close.
Anhao turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. He was standing right behind her, very close to her.
She turned around abruptly and almost bumped into her arms. She could even smell his clean and unique scent.
She couldn’t help but turn her face back and continue to stick to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. She didn’t care about her image at all and continued to squeeze her nose against the glass until it was deformed. Then, she turned her face sideways and pressed her face down until it was deformed. As she played, she said,”lt’s not strange to see snow, but it’s the first time I’ve seen snow from such a high place.”
B0x𝔫𝙤ѵ𝑒𝙡.com“Moreover…” She pointed outside.” This is the first snowfall of the year in A City. The weather is so cold. Although it’s the first snow, it hasn’t melted when it falls on the ground. It’s only been snowing for more than an hour. As far as the eye can see, the outside has already become pure white. It makes people feel especially good just looking at it.”
Zuo Hancheng stood behind her and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her. Looking down from above, it was as if he was standing on the top of the clouds and gazing at the human world.
Anhao had always been very excited. Although she was childish, she kept drawing on the floor-to-ceiling window. As she drew, she pointed at the pattern on it and said,”Zuo Hancheng, do you think my drawing looks like you?
Look at those eyebrows and eyes! Hahaha…”
“Zuo Hancheng, look at this! This is more like you! Look at this annoying face! Too much like you! I, Gu Anhao, have wasted my talent by not becoming an artist in this lifetime!
Haha
Zuo Hancheng withdrew his gaze from the distant night sky and looked at the messy things she had drawn on the window without saying a word.
His gloomy eyes looked at the little girl who was so excited that she looked like she was about to jump out of the window. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
The snow continued to fall, and Anhao got tired after jumping in front of the window for a while. She turned around and went back to the table to pick up her book again.
After a while, Secretary Lin Qing walked in with a stack of documents in her hands.
When Lin Qing saw Anhao sitting on the new spare desk, although he had seen her more than once in the past few days, he had never looked at her for more than three seconds.
Anhao had to admit that the secretaries and assistants that Zuo Hancheng kept by his side were all people of high quality and self-control.
Mobai was one of them, and so was Lin Qing. Although Lin Qing was a young female secretary, she knew her limits. She wouldn’t ask more questions, and she wouldn’t look at people she shouldn’t.
Although Anhao had been tutoring in his office for the past few days, she had gradually gotten used to the environment. Moreover, because the senior employees around Zuo Hancheng were all of high quality, none of them made her feel uncomfortable, so she was getting more and more used to this place.
“President Zuo.”
Lin Qing placed the documents on the table and said,’”‘& Chairman Han of E &
M Group, Chairman of the Northern Financial Chamber of Commerce, and
Chairman Xu of Hengtian Company have already booked a table at Deways Hotel. The dinner time that we had previously agreed on with you is today. It’s already 9:30 p. m. The agreed time is 10 p. m. The car is already ready.”
Lin Qing looked at the time and said,””President Zuo, do you need a few secretaries or assistants to go with you?”
“There’s no need to arrange anything.” Zuo Hancheng picked up the document that Lin Qing brought and flipped through it before putting it aside. He suddenly pondered for a moment and said calmly,””Anhao, come with me.”
Anhao was looking down at a math question on the exercise paper, and her mind was about to go crazy. Suddenly, she heard Zuo Hancheng call her name, and she looked up abruptly.”What? You want me to go?”
Lin Qing was also surprised.
Mr. Zuo had always been a person who separated public and private matters. No matter what relationship he had with Miss Gu, under normal circumstances, Mr. Zuo would never bring someone who had nothing to do with the company or business to attend such a social event with him.
Moreover, Chairman Han of E & M Group, Chairman of the Northern Financial Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman Xu of Hengtian Company were all people in the industry that could not be easily offended.
Although Zuo Hancheng had a high reputation in the industry, if the three of them were to visit at the same time, they would definitely want a share of the recent big movements in A City. It was also the three of them working together to try to put pressure on Shengling Group.
In such a situation, wouldn’t it be better to bring along the most capable assistant secretary and some related staff?
But since this was the CEO’s intention, Lin Qing didn’t dare to ask further even though he had doubts in his eyes. He only nodded and said,””Then I’ll make the arrangements.”
“You want me to accompany you to a social gathering?” Anhao still hadn’t recovered from her shock.”
Zuo Hancheng glanced at her as if he could tell what she was worried about.””Don’t worry. With your looks, I won’t push you out to be treated as a female host. I don’t need you to accompany others to drink either.”
Anhao heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when she heard the names of the people and companies that
Secretary Lin had mentioned just now, although she did not know much about them, the names were particularly resounding. Even the name of the company sounded familiar, so it must be a very big company in the country. Moreover, it had a high status. Moreover, it was arranged at such a late time. No matter how she felt, it did not feel right.
However, since Zuo Hancheng had already said so, there was no need for her to think too much about it.
Since she did not have much to eat at night, she could go to Deways for a meal. She would go as long as he would not sell her. Even if Zuo Hancheng was so heartless as to sell her, she would never agree to it!
Anhao didn’t change her clothes when she left the company.
As it was the weekend tomorrow, she did not wear her school uniform. Instead, she wore the set of clothes that Zuo Hancheng had bought for her the other day. It was a casual women’s jumpsuit with a khaki windbreaker on top.
She didn’t look too mature nor too immature. The style and color of the clothes matched her skin tone very well. Moreover, it didn’t seem like a young lady like her needed to change her clothes for such an occasion, so she followed her into the car.
In the car, the chauffeur was driving while Anhao and Zuo Hancheng sat in the back seat. She looked out of the window at the snow road and the lights on both sides of the road. The fiery neon lights exclaimed at the prosperity of A City. It was already late at night in such cold weather, but all the shops were open. The dazzling lights were no less than in summer.
The car stopped in front of the Deways Hotel. Anhao was about to get out of the car when she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng say,””Anhao, don’t touch any drinks or alcohol tonight.”
She was stunned. Zuo Hancheng had already gotten out of the car, so she could only follow him out of the car in a daze and jog behind him.
After he got out of the car, the snowflakes falling from the sky instantly dyed the shoulders of his black trench coat white. She followed behind him and asked softly, “What game did you participate in tonight? You brought me here and told me not to drink? Is this a trap?”
Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. He said in a deep voice,””More or less..”
