His Majesty is Scheming - C223
Long Zhenghao was the one who sent her to the company a few days ago. She had to take the bus today, and since she couldn’t find the route, she had to walk around the bus stop for a long time. After searching for a long time, she finally managed to get in a minute before being late.
Most of the people in the office had already arrived. Everyone was busy making coffee and making milk. Ling Mengzhu took the cup to the side to drink some tea. Upon entering, he heard someone discussing, “Hey, I heard that Ling Mengzhu was introduced by the boss behind the scenes. No wonder she was so awesome, even the department’s managers have to be polite to her.”
“Are you for real?” The lover of the boss behind the scenes? ” the other woman asked in surprise.
“I don’t know. I think so. I heard from the HR Department’s Xiao Yun that the boss behind the scenes had introduced him.”
“Aiya, I’m so envious. Why don’t we have this kind of life?”
“Come on, look at how proper a parent is, then look at yourself.”
“You’re so annoying!” The two women teased and turned around. The next moment, their smiles froze on their faces, and their faces turned pale from shame. Astonishment and terror filled their faces as they stared at Ling Meng Zhu who was standing by the door. At this moment, they couldn’t wait to bite off their tongues.
Being called a mistress by others, Ling Mengzhu was not the least bit angry. Her entire mind was already occupied by the words that they had said before. He looked at the two of them and asked, “May I ask who the boss behind this is? “What’s your name?”
The two women looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Ling Mengzhan’s peaceful words meant. Was it because of the calm before the storm or what she meant by that? She was obviously the one being introduced by the boss behind the scenes, but she didn’t know who the boss was? How is this possible?
“Mm …” Miss Ling, I’m sorry, women are … All of them are a bit old. Please believe us, we have no ill intentions. ” The woman who had spread the news bit her tongue and laughed even more miserably than she was crying. She didn’t even manage to speak properly.
Since they were the women of the boss behind the scenes, they were naturally afraid that they would be opened up if they were annoyed. It took them a lot of effort to get into this big company. It wouldn’t be worth it if he just got fired because of his big mouth, would it?
“I was asking you just now, who is the boss behind the scenes?” Ling Mengzhu cast a sidelong glance at her and repeated herself.
She did not care about being described as an underground lover, nor did she take the words’ behind the scenes’ to heart. Her entire mind was attracted by the word ‘boss behind the scenes’. If she didn’t enter the company too smoothly, she wouldn’t have been able to understand these four words, because she didn’t even know the big name ‘boss behind the scenes’.
The two women were tongue-tied for a while before they bit the bullet and said, “About this …” We do not know, the whole company may not know, the boss never appeared in the company, has always been very mysterious. So he called for the boss behind the scenes … I’m sorry, we misunderstood you just now. So it turns out that you don’t know anything, hehe … ”
Mysterious boss? Ling Mengzhu was baffled as she stood there in a daze. Who could this mysterious boss be? Could he be Young Master Xi of the Hu Family? If it was him, he wouldn’t be able to do it so mysteriously. But other than him, there seemed to be no one else besides her who could be called boss. At most, it would be like Xiao Lin and Long Zhenghao, who had a bit of money in the workplace.
The two girls saw her in a daze, so they quietly slipped out of the tea room. As they left, they whispered to each other without repenting, “She sure acts like she doesn’t know who the boss behind the scenes is. How is that possible? ”
“Alright, let’s not bother about whether he’s someone of the boss. Be careful of the words that come out of your mouth.” Another woman reminded him in a low voice.
When Ling Mengzhu returned to her seat, she had always been conflicted over this question. Recalling how smooth it had been for her when she first entered, as well as the manner in which the executives treated her like their own mother, she became more and more doubtful about the rumours she had just heard.
No matter what, she had to figure out what had happened and who had helped her behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Ling Mengzhu immediately got up and walked towards the Sales Manager’s office. The Sales Manager first smiled and asked her what was the matter. After hearing her bluntly asking a question. He put on an innocent expression and shrugged, “You should have thought of that. How could a nobody like me have the chance to see the real face of my boss? So I’m very sorry, you asked the wrong person. ”
“Then who should I ask?” Ling Mengzhu was a bit depressed. Not a single person in the company had ever seen her boss’s real body. Being such a low-key boss in this year’s business wasn’t any illegal business at all. It was really rare.
The sales manager thought for a moment and said, “The general manager should know, but you must not tell him that I told him that he knew.” “As you know, the general manager has a bad temper. For the time being, I don’t want to smash this job.”
“Alright, I understand. Thank you.” Ling Mengzhu nodded and turned towards the office door helplessly.
The sales manager said that the general manager’s temper wasn’t good, so since Ling Mengzhu was a little scared, she had been in the company for so many days now. He had never met him at any other time and did not understand him.
However, in order to be sure of the truth, she went out brazenly, just in time to see the general manager, who had put down his work when she came in, and who was as good-natured as any of the leaders about what she had to do to help. So gentle that Ling Mengzhu suspected that the sales manager was intentionally threatening her and saying that the general manager had a bad temper, purposely preventing her from asking any further questions.
This time, she learnt her lesson. She thought that if she asked like before, she would definitely not tell him the truth. Therefore, she walked into the general manager’s office with a smile on her face. She stood in front of him and said, “Director Du, the boss asked me to make a copy of the company’s business license and take it back with him. You should have the business license, right?”
“The boss wants you to bring your business license?” How is that possible? ” Director Du’s eyes widened, as if he had heard some unbelievable news, because this was absolutely impossible, the company could not let anyone else touch the business license other than him.
Ling Mengzhu smiled innocently, “That’s right, anyway, the relationship between me and the boss is no longer a secret in the company, there’s no need to guard against me right? If you don’t believe me, you can call him yourself. ”
“Oh, haha, I don’t believe you. Miss Ling, please wait a moment.” Director Du took out his business license from the safe, and Ling Mengzhu seized it when he wasn’t paying attention. After quickly browsing through it, her gaze stopped at the person who registered it. In other words, she was the representative of the legal person. The two words’ Long Yue ‘were written on it in italics. It was a name that she was completely unfamiliar with!
“Who is Long Yue?” Ling Mengzhu raised her head to look at Manager Du. The latter’s mouth was wide open as she stared at him.
“Miss Ling, do you not know? Mr Long is your future father-in-law. Cough … Though he’s gone. ” Manager Du put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice. He restrained the surprise on his face.
“Eunuch …” Ling Mengzhu chewed on this title in a daze. This name was too unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that she couldn’t react to it. After a long while, she finally managed to come up with a conclusion. Long Yue, a person with surname Long, was there another one besides Long Zhenghao by her side? No, Long Yue is Long Zhenghao’s father?
This very likely piece of information exploded in her mind, causing her face to turn pale.
She had never thought that this legendary ‘backstage boss’ could be Long Zhenghao. She had always thought that Long Zhenghao was just an ordinary worker working in the hospital. Perhaps, this was just a misunderstanding. Long Yue was not his father, and he was not some boss behind the scenes. Ling Mengzhu secretly comforted herself while secretly hoping that Long Zhenghao was not some boss.
But then she thought, if it really was Long Zhenghao, then it wasn’t impossible. When she was looking for a job, Long Zhenghao always knew what to wear, and even told her what to wear on the first day. Everything was so well understood, and his explanation was that this company was rather famous. He knew a bit, just a bit … How ridiculous!
When Ling Meng Zhu returned to his seat, he was still in a daze. His mind was filled with this shocking news. With Long Zhenghao’s other identity as the paving stone for her to enter the company, it was difficult for her to accept so many facts in an instant.
She was so stunned that she didn’t even hear Xiao Yu call her name. Xiao Yi walked over and pushed her arm: “Hey, why are you in a daze? “The manager told us to go to the conference room and discuss the NC list. He’s waiting for you.”
“Oh, I’ll be right there.” Ling Mengzhu picked up the meeting materials she prepared last night and followed Little Yi into the meeting room. The moment she stepped into the meeting room, she came in contact with the two women’s peculiar gazes. When those eyes met her, they hurriedly moved to the side as if they were frightened, leaving behind an uncomfortable smile for her.
If it had been before today, she would have returned to her seat without a care and ignored their stares. At this moment, she suddenly felt as if her clothes had been stripped off and she was standing naked in front of others. This feeling was really not good, really very uncomfortable, so bad that she wanted to turn around and run out of the meeting room.
Seeing her enter, the sales manager smiled at her and said, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, are you ready? “Alright, let’s sit down for the meeting. I’ve already decided to give you this list. NC is a big company, remember to work hard.”
“Thank you, manager.” Seeing the manager’s kind smile, Ling Mengzhu couldn’t help but bitterly laugh at herself in her heart. The manager was indeed considerate. He even gave her the list, so she didn’t need to go to the market.
If it were another company, which boss would be willing to have such a salesperson? However, she didn’t like it at all. She would rather expand the market like Little Yi, even though she might not be able to do so in this industry.
Ling Mengzhu did not manage to catch a few words in the whole meeting, as it was already lunchtime when she left the meeting room. Little Yi called for her to go have lunch with him. She didn’t go, but went to the bathroom and called Long Zhenghao’s number.
The call connected, but no one answered. Only after Ling Mengzhu had called three times did someone pick up the phone. Just as Ling Mengzhu was about to open her mouth to curse, the female voice that came from the phone was cut off.
“Miss Ling, why are you in such a hurry to find someone? Zhenghao is busy right now. ” The voice sounded familiar. Ling Mengzhu was at a loss for a moment before realizing that the voice that she had not heard for a long time originated from Miss Liang. How could it be her who was answering the phone?
Ling Mengzhu’s hand trembled as she held the phone. Was Long Zhenghao with Miss Liang that night? Why did that refined and refined Miss Liang suddenly become so strange and rude?
“Miss Liang, is Long Zhenghao with you right now?” After a long while, Ling Mengzhan cautiously asked this question.
How could that be? How is this possible? How could Long Zhenghao possibly spend the night with Miss Liang? Even though she had rudely angered him last night, even though she had said things that she would never be with him again, hadn’t he also said that he would start over with her?
