Chapter 46: The Pitiful Security Guard

  As soon as Mu Yan arrived at the company, it was already afternoon. As soon as he walked into the paper wall bunker, he heard Tong Ling say to him: "Mu Yan, you finally came to work, we thought you and Manager Zhong were both playing hide-and-seek."

  Mu Yan knew that Zhong Jiaqiang was not coming to work and had really gone missing. As for himself, things were too troublesome, so he walked to the position that originally belonged to Zhong Jiaqiang and sat down directly with a plop.

  Jianying saw Mu Yan sitting in the manager's position, with his legs raised. Tong Ling was really disappointed in Mu Yan, but still kindly said: "Mu Yan, Secretary Hu called you again this morning! Yesterday, he also called to find you when you left, I told him that you had an emergency at home and went back. Be careful when you go later."

  "Which Secretary Hu? Which Secretary Hu?" Mu Yan asked in confusion.

  "It's Hu Ting, Secretary Hu, the first great secret beside the president!" Tong Ling shook her head again, not knowing that Secretary Hu was a person beside the president, and his status was not lower than that of an ordinary department manager.

  As soon as he heard that the so-called Hu Secretary was a person beside Yu Jing, he must have been looking for himself. He jumped down from his chair and ran out immediately.

  I promised my mom that I would become a manager soon, and now she's still recovering from her illness. I must keep my word. Given my relationship with Yu Jing, I should at least make some space for myself. If all else fails, since Zhong Jiaqiang is no longer around, I can temporarily be the underground manager.

  "Hey! Stop right there!"

  As soon as he came out of the elevator, Mu Yan immediately heard someone calling him and turned around to see that it was the security guard in charge of this floor.

  "Brother, the president is looking for me!"

  "No way, you can't go past!" The security guard didn't even mean for him to go past in the first place.

  This security guard was the one who was scolded by Yu Jing last time, and because he let this person in last time, he was scolded. This time, no matter what, he couldn't let Mu Yan in.

  Mu Yan also found it strange. Yu Jing had called him over, so why was he being stopped? It was fine when they celebrated Yu Xian's birthday two days ago. Had Yu Jing suddenly changed his mind and was intentionally toying with him? Mu Yan's anger flared up at the thought. Since you're playing tricks on me, I'll play along too. He coldly snorted: "You won't let me in? Fine, I'm leaving."

  Just as Mu Yan had walked into the elevator, Hu Ting came out of the office and walked over to the security guard, casually asking: "What was all the commotion about just now?"

  "Secretary Hu, the person who was forbidden from entering this floor by the president's strict order last time has come again and is shouting that the president wants to see him. I chased him away!" The security guard said as if he had just accomplished a great feat.

  As soon as Hu Ting heard this, she immediately understood that the person was Mu Yan. She had been ordered by the president to call him several times over the past two days, but didn't know what the president's intentions were. Now that he had arrived, he was actually driven away by this guy. Hu Ting suddenly became furious and scolded him: "He said the president wanted to see him, you didn't even confirm it, how did you know it wasn't the president who really wanted to see him? Go and bring him back immediately, otherwise don't come here tomorrow!"

  The security guard heard it and felt that it was indeed the president who had found that little guy. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran out.

  Mu Yan had just returned to the underground when the security guard came looking for him. After listening to him talk for half a day, he finally realized that it wasn't Yu Jing playing tricks on him, but rather because of an order from Yu Jing last time, which made him block the way.

  When he heard this, Mu Yan's heart was also a mix of laughter and tears. Seeing him say that if he didn't go, he would lose his job, Mu Yan could only accompany him back immediately.

  As he walked into the CEO's office, Mu Yan indeed saw Yu Jing busy working on her computer. She was sitting at her desk, seemingly having regained her composure as a businesswoman. Upon seeing Mu Yan, she didn't show any expression and only spoke after signing a document: "Sit down, Hu Ting will get you a glass of water!"

  Mu Yan sat in the chair in front of Yu Jing's office desk. After Hu Ting handed over a glass of water, she left under Yu Jing's gaze.

  After everyone else was gone, Mu Yan immediately relaxed and smiled, asking: "Is your foot better? How's Yu Xi?"

  Originally, Mu Yan was not in a good mood and didn't come to work properly. He only came after being asked twice, and his heart still had some dissatisfaction. But as soon as he mentioned Yu Xi, thinking of that one night, his heart softened, and the frost on his face melted a bit: "It's much better now, it just hurts a little when walking. Yu Xi misses you, and in more than a week, it'll be Children's Day..."

  "I'll go back and accompany her!" Before Yu Jing finished speaking, Mu Yan immediately agreed.

  Jian Mu Yan is indeed quite concerned about Yu Xi, originally dissatisfied with Mu Yan's absenteeism, but now not too bothered, yet still intentionally putting on a stern face said: "What's going on with you these two days, just started working and already skipping work consecutively!"

  "My mom is in the hospital, and I'm the only one left at home, so I had to play hooky!" Mu Yan said straightforwardly.

  "Is it just you and your mom at home?" Yu Jing was somewhat surprised, as she had been busy with the account book these past few days, so she could only temporarily put Mu Yan's matter on hold. Her understanding of Mu Yan's situation was limited to some company files; otherwise, with her abilities, it would be easy for her to get a clear picture of what was going on with Mu Yan on the surface.

  Mù Yán nodded and said, "When my mother was pregnant with me, my father left. My mother gave birth to me alone and raised me through hardships, so when I saw Yu Xī being bullied in kindergarten that day, it felt like I was the one being bullied. I couldn't help but feel heartache for her!"

  Yu Jing never thought that this guy would have such an experience, he was also a posthumous child just like Yu Xi, and his heart was touched again.

  Before, she always suspected that Mu Yan was so good to Yu Xi, wondering if he had ulterior motives for getting close to her. Although she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't rule out the possibility. Now it seems that it's probably true because they share a deep connection.

  "Auntie, how are you?" Yu Jing suddenly took off her queen's mask and asked softly.

  Mu Yan looked at Yu Jing with some surprise, seemingly returning to that night's Yu Jing. He smiled and said: "It's nothing much, but she might lose her job, so her mood is very unstable. I can only tell him that our company's President Yu is a wise and discerning person who recognizes heroes at a glance, so he took one look at me and saw that my abilities are not ordinary, preparing to immediately promote me to manager. Only then did she feel a bit better."

  As soon as Mu Yan brought up the matter of official positions, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. After a glance around with her beautiful eyes, she said: "Since that's the case, I also can't let Auntie down. Zhong Jiaqiang has already been absent from work for three days, and I will immediately post an announcement to fire him. You can be the manager of the Resource Allocation Department."

  As soon as he heard this, Mu Yan's face turned sour again and he said: "My great CEO, can't you transfer me to another department? Somewhere like sales or public relations would be best."

  "How come you've only been working for a few days and you're already aiming high, wanting to go to the sales department and public relations department? I think it's because you see many beautiful women in these two departments, right?" Yu Jing teased.

  Muyi immediately put on a look of being caught, smiled and said: "President, you really are sharp-eyed, I didn't think my little thoughts would be seen through by you. But can I make a request?"
