He had long forgotten the taste of tears. That night, the wind blew, leaving his face cold, with a salty taste at the corner of his mouth, similar to the sea water but without its fishy smell. Mong Si's memories stopped here. He raised his hand and patted his face to clear his mind a bit. His chest felt tight, and he wanted to get up and leave.
He had just put down the documents when he saw Zhu Junqiao sleeping sweetly on the table. He picked up the documents, opened them again, and continued to read. When Zhu Junqiao woke up, the room was pitch black. For a moment, she didn't know where she was.
People living in big cities are used to seeing bright lights, so when they are surrounded by darkness, it can be frightening. She didn't have time to worry about her numb arm being pressed by her, she reached out and fumbled on the table, trying to find her phone to light up. There were files all around her, and as she touched them, a stack of files fell down with a clatter.
The office was too quiet, and the sound of a falling file startled Zhu Junqiao. As she pulled back her hand, she touched the phone on the desk, which she quickly picked up like grabbing a life-saving straw, and pressed the unlock button to unlock it. The faint light from the phone made Zhu Junqiao feel a sense of security.
She turned on the flashlight on her phone, increased the brightness, looked around, and recognized that it was her office, which made her feel a little relieved. As she was about to get up to turn on the light, she noticed someone curled up on the sofa. She paused, who was in her office?!
When she saw the person on the sofa through the cold light of the flashlight, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. Normally, Mong Si was as fierce as a venomous snake, but now he looked so harmless and pitiful, the contrast was too great! Seeing him like this, Zhu Junqiao thought he was cold in the office. She went to his side, picked up the thin blanket on the sofa, and wanted to cover him with it.
Her movements were very light, just as her hand had just touched Mong Si's shoulder, the man who had been sleeping deeply suddenly woke up. His eyes were cold-blooded, without a hint of warmth. He quickly grabbed Zhu Junqiao's wrist like lightning, and with his other hand, he grasped her neck.
Zhu Junqiao Her slender neck was being held by him, as if it could be broken at any moment. She couldn't breathe, her expression was painful, and all her strength seemed to be drained. As her hand loosened, the phone fell to the ground. The brightness in the office instantly dimmed by half.
"Brother, loosen... loosen your grip."
Zhu Junqiao's neck was in pain, she struggled to pull Mong Si's hand away, making an unclear sound from her throat.
Her voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Mong Si remembered the identity of the person in front of him. His expression changed, and he quickly let go of her hand.
"Brother, you... you almost choked me to death!"
Zhu Junqiao felt completely drained of energy. She plopped down onto the sofa, her hand resting on her neck. She wanted to take deep breaths, but the pain in her throat forced her to slow down her breathing.
She complained to Mong Si.
"From now on, you are not allowed to come near me while I'm asleep!" Mong Si said with a serious tone. When he was on the island, he was always in danger, even needing to stay alert while sleeping.
As long as someone approaches him, he will wake up immediately and make a defensive move.
It's just his habit.
"I... I just saw you curling up, thought you were cold, and wanted to cover you with a blanket. I didn't mean any harm."
Not only was there no malice, but she also cared for him, yet her kindness was taken as if it were something vile. When the phone fell to the ground, the flashlight was knocked down as well. With the faint light, Mong Si saw the blanket on him and exclaimed, "I'm not cold!" The island was damp and chilly; he had lived in such conditions before, so the environment in the office felt very comfortable to him.
Mong SiSo saying, he did not take off the blanket on his body.
He sat up, "Go turn on the light."
"Oh."
Mong Si often speaks in a commanding tone, and although Zhu Junqiao doesn't like his attitude, she subconsciously wants to comply. Perhaps this has a lot to do with the inherent aggressiveness he exudes. Zhu Junqiao picked up her phone and checked it. This time, the phone was sturdy, with no signs of a cracked screen. She got up and turned on the main light in the office.
The lights came on, and Mong Si was a little uncomfortable at first. He squinted his eyes and straightened out the files on the floor that Zhu Junqiao had messed up.
"Wait a minute!"
Some of those files were open.
Zhu Junqiao came back and saw traces of review on the documents. According to her understanding, Mong Si has limited education, so she was surprised that he could read the documents. She went to Mong Si's side, took the documents and opened them. The documents were a proposal about the recent project being destroyed and how to avoid such losses in the future.
Zhu Junqiao saw that there were many ways to avoid written in the document. She briefly looked at it and then looked at Mong Si's reply - before cooperating with actors, apart from signing agreements, it is necessary to investigate and understand the actors to determine if there are any black marks on them. After the project is completed, it needs to be broadcasted in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary risks.
Mong Si's remarks were agreed upon by Zhu Junqiao. Some actors may appear upright on the surface, but in reality, they may have hidden flaws. Without investigation, one would not know the true character of the other party.
If the other party's scandal is exposed, the project will definitely be delayed in its release, and some may not be released at all. Some projects may start without any issues, but if delays occur and other unexpected events happen, it will also have a certain impact on the project. Mong Si has a certain understanding of today's society, but it's not considered professional.
Zhu Junqiao flipped through several documents again, and Mong Si handled them very well, not as haphazardly as Zhu Junqiao had imagined.
She was pleasantly surprised and also became a little more curious about Mong Si.
According to the information given to her by Song Lan, Mong Si had an unfortunate childhood and lived a difficult life after being stranded on a deserted island, without receiving any education.
He actually knows how to run a company!
"Did I handle it wrong?"
Mong Si saw Zhu Junqiao staring at the documents in her hand, and he felt uncomfortable. "If you think it's not handled properly, do it yourself in the future. Don't let me help you with it!"
He originally wanted to make some incorrect annotations to disrupt the company's operations, but he was worried that Zhu Junqiao would look at him differently after seeing the annotations, thinking that he was not as good as Zhu Junjie. In his opinion, he is not inferior to Zhu Junjie. He dares to say without reservation that if he had grown up in the Zhu Family and received a good education, he would be much more outstanding than Zhu Junjie. Perhaps he would be able to compete with Yan Wen and Wei Sheng through his own efforts!
And now...
Mong Si thought of his hidden identity, feeling uncomfortable, and got up to leave.
"Brother, you handled it very well! You have always been very capable. When you are serious, you process documents much faster than me! In the future, you should take on more responsibilities by yourself!"
Zhu Junqiao quickly grabbed Mong Si's sleeve and said, "Brother, you must be tired from handling so many documents. Let me make you a cup of coffee."
