Chapter 696 - 702: The Longing Suppressed for Five Years
When she was working at Gambling Stone City before, she was just a student doing the most basic cleaning tasks. She had never been to the high floors and didn’t know the work requirements were so strict...
Muttering to herself, Chu Xiaoge casually turned her head, glancing at the place where she worked.
She hadn’t noticed when she first came in, but it turned out to be an independent office. Although it was only about ten square meters, it was very neat and clean.
Compared to the public rest area with ten people squeezing together five years ago, this place was practically heaven.
Chu Xiaoge’s mood gradually started to get excited.
She walked to the desk and happened to see a few sheets of the itinerary on it.
She picked it up casually to take a look and realized it was all related to Gambling Stone City.
[At 9 am, the president of Xiong Ye Real Estate has booked room 3011 on the third floor. At 2 pm...]
After reading the first sheet, Chu Xiaoge couldn’t help but tut twice.
"So it turned out that it was the secretaries who arranged when to clean which rooms before..."
Soon she saw the second sheet, dated yesterday.
After reading two lines, she saw something related to Shang Dongyuan.
[Expected at 10 am, Mr. Shang and his friends will arrive to review last week’s work; managers of each department are to bring their performance records.]
Shang Dongyuan had a habit of separately calculating the work performance of each department, even when managing a small Gambling Stone City. Back then, Chu Xiaoge spent a lot of effort on this!
But now looking at it...
In her heart, an inexplicable surge of excitement arose, gnawing at her. It felt like every cell in her body started to leap.
That feeling of longing was being pulled again.
Chu Xiaoge clenched her teeth, her brows furrowed tightly!
This is terrible!
She spent five years trying to forget him, clearly saying she had completely forgotten, completely didn’t care anymore, so why...
Why would just seeing his itinerary, just seeing a paper with his name make her heart start to pound wildly?
Is... the suppressed longing of five years erupting completely and becoming more intense?
How could it be... because of him, she suffered so many hardships these five years, did she forget it all?
Five years ago, if it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have had a huge fight with her parents, wouldn’t have been kicked out of home... Her father now is still angry at her, his heart disease relapsed, and he needs surgery to recover in the hospital!
She should hate him. If it wasn’t for that night when he fell into someone’s trap, how would that night have happened?
She should also hate herself. Why was she so foolish, after that night, she hid alone?
If she hadn’t been so timid, so clueless back then, things wouldn’t have turned out like this...
Those things, Chu Xiaoge didn’t want to think about. Over the years, she intentionally buried them deep in her heart.
But even so, it couldn’t erase the mistakes she made back then...
Every time she remembers, countless regrets overwhelm her.
Compared to these, what angered Chu Xiaoge more was, after five years, she could get all excited just seeing the paper with Shang Dongyuan’s name?
No... it’s not right!
She can’t be like this... She came back to work for her father.
Her father was so angered by her; does she still want history to repeat itself?
While Chu Xiaoge was constantly persuading herself, the originally closed door suddenly opened.
Chu Xiaoge was startled, her whole body instinctively tensed up.
Could it... be him?
In her heart, there was inexplicable anticipation.
But in the next second, the door indeed opened, but the person who walked in was a pretty girl about her age.
Also dressed in professional attire, black stockings, and high heels.
But she looked very different from Zhang Xiaowen, her face carrying a gentle smile, seeming approachable.
She poked her head in and immediately saw Chu Xiaoge.
After quickly scanning Chu Xiaoge, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes but was quickly hidden.
The smile on her face remained and became more amiable.
"You must be the new secretary? Hello, I’m Miao Miao, here to do the work handover with you." Miao Miao reached out her right hand warmly towards Chu Xiaoge.
Faced with such a passionate and cute new colleague, Chu Xiaoge had no reason not to like her.
She hastily extended her right hand, holding Miao Miao’s hand, her face full of gratitude.
"Hello, I’m Chu Nian! Please guide me!"
"Chu Nian??" Miao Miao was stunned and looked at Chu Xiaoge in confusion, "The resume from the HR said your name is Chu Xiaoge?"
"..." Chu Xiaoge suddenly came to her senses, what a mistake!
She had been using the name Chu Nian for the past five years outside and said it instinctively...
Miao Miao now frowned tightly, "What’s your name actually?"
"Uh, I’m Chu Xiaoge..." Chu Xiaoge lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Not being able to clarify her name, no wonder Miao Miao looked a bit impatient.
"Never mind, let’s start quickly; I have other things to do later." Miao Miao waved her hand, not accounting for these, and handed over a large stack of documents to Chu Xiaoge.
Briefly explained Chu Xiaoge’s work content and process, and left.
Walking outside the door, the smile on Miao Miao’s face disappeared quickly, her expression turning disgusted.
"Such a bumpkin, dressed like a country girl, even her name is so rustic! How did someone like this get in?"
...
After Miao Miao left, Chu Xiaoge sat back at her seat, looking at the thick stack of documents on the desk, the blue veins on her forehead throbbed!
Just arrived and already had to go through so many things... over the past five years, the work she did mostly involved being a restaurant waiter; she was always unfamiliar with high-level stuff like this.
She didn’t know if she could manage...
Sighing, Chu Xiaoge dazed out for a moment.
Events from the past five years started flashing before her eyes again.
She chose this path, even if she had to crawl, she had to keep going...
"Come on, Xiaoge! You’re the best! Do you know why your parents named you Xiaoge? They hoped your life would be as pleasant and happy as a song..."
Murmuring to herself, Chu Xiaoge’s eyes again filled with vigor!
Without further ado, she plunged into the pile of documents, humming a cheerful tune as she began to tackle them!
——
Life involves countless choices.
Don’t be afraid even if you occasionally make bad decisions.
Keep a forever positive and upward mindset, good things will always happen.
——Su Zhishui.
Halfway through the documents, Zhang Xiaowen returned.
She opened the door and directly said, "Come out for a moment. Mr. Shang is about to leave."
