Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 337

Chapter 337 There Was Nothing Wrong with Trapping His Wife

“Mr. Lu!” The receptionist asked urgently. She then added flirtatiously, “I want to go there too.” Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi and then turned to the receptionist, “If you want to join our company, you can first hand in your resignation to Mr. Xie.”

For a junior receptionist, he could give her any basic work. It was not an issue for him. Furthermore, in this crucial moment, the receptionist was the cause of Mu Zhi’s jealousy. If she could continue to incite Mu Zhi, that would be a tremendous help to him.

“That’s great.” With that, the receptionist was suddenly haphazard. When the lift was opened, she did not wait for anyone to leave but immediately pressed the ground floor button, letting the lift descend to the ground floor.

After that, she followed Lu Jinye excitedly to his company.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhi could not understand why she had followed them.

She planned to get a job in Xie Xiu’s company to cultivate her relationship with him. However, she did not understand how a receptionist could cause her to follow Lu Jinye to his company.

Lu Jinye’s company was very efficient. When Mu Zhi had arrived, they immediately completed the admission process for her, registering her as an employee.

The receptionist was given to the administration to assign suitable work for her.

On the other hand, Mu Zhi was led away by the chief secretary, Linda, to complete her entry.

As she followed Linda, the scene felt oddly familiar, but Linda had behaved as if she had never met Mu Zhi and was very professional.

Lu Jinye had reminded Linda to provide a pleasant surrounding for Mu Zhi. Having served beside Lu Jinye’s for many years, Linda knew what Lu Jinye meant and understood him completely.

She had completed everything exceptionally well.

After Mu Zhi was shown around and was informed to start work the next day, she felt as if the dust had finally settled and was relieved.

However, Linda brought her to Lu Jinye’s office, and when she saw Lu Jinye, she was stunned.

At that moment, there were only Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye in the room. Linda had left right after she had brought her in.

Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye in shock, but Lu Jinye was smiling gently and said, “Welcome to the company.”

His words had woken her from her daze!

What have I done?

Unable to stand the receptionist flirting with Lu Jinye, she competed and clashed with the receptionist. After that, she had somehow entered Lu Jinye’s company.

Mu Zhi felt that she had lost her mind.

“No, I can’t work for your company. I need to leave!”

She immediately turned around and left.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Jinye had also stood up and followed her out of the office.

“I am going to Xie Group too.”

What he meant was that he had meant to go there too.

Hearing him, Mu Zhi became even more troubled.

She looked at him and said, “I don’t want to go with you. I need to attend an interview.”

“After what had happened just now, do you think that Xie Group will still accept your resume?”

He was reminding her that Xie Group would not want to accept Mu Zhi anymore.

Mu Zhi did not want to disturb Xie Xiu. She wanted to enter Xie Xiu’s company and cultivate their relationship slowly.

But now… She did not know what she could do.

When Lu Jinye saw a flash of disappointment on Mu Zhi’s face, he was still smiling.

As he had just seen Mu Zhi being jealous for his sake, he was in a tremendously good mood!

Seeing Lu Jinye’s expression, Mu Zhi felt dejected and was even more at loss about what to say to him.

So, she replied, “Leave me alone.”

Lu Jinye regarded her and said, “I can’t leave you alone. You are not only my employee but also my secretary. You have no reason to be sad.”

“Why can’t I be said?”

Mu Zhi glared at Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye said, “Our company is now working with Xie Xiu’s company. If you work in Xie Xiu’s company, it will not be easy for you to see him clearly. By being directly involved, you will not be able to see the full picture. You can see him more clearly from an outsider’s point of view.”

Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi earnestly and continued, “You do not understand how a business operates. If you stay by my side, this job will allow you to understand everything about a company. You may even have the chance to learn something even more complex.” Naturally, that included learning more about Lu Jinye himself.

However, he could not tell her that. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

But that was his intention.

His words had rendered her speechless.

She could not tell what’s real anymore.

“But you are a rival to my husband’s company. Aren’t you worried that I would come to know of the inner workings and sell you out?”

“I don’t mind being sold out by you. I am even willing to die by your hands.”

Lu Jinye said with a laugh. His eyes were fixed on her.

Mu Zhi glared at him in response.

That day, Lu Jinye had to go to Xie Xiu’s company to discuss business matters, so Mu Zhi definitely could not go with him. She could not meet Xie Xiu as Lu Jinye’s secretary, he would be furious with her.

As such, Mu Zhi chose to return home.

After returning home, Mu Zhi sat down and thought for a long time. She wondered what she should do.

Should I submit another resume to Xie Xiu’s company and hope to be called for an interview?

Clearly, that would not work. She was sure that she would not be able to enter Xie Xiu’s company anymore.

However, she also felt that it was not appropriate to work in Lu Jinye’s company.

Furthermore, Xie Xiu had already told her that he did not want her to contact Lu Jinye. As such, she could not go and work for his company.

However, what Lu Jinye said gave her an idea. Lu Jinye was right. If she went to work in Xie Xiu’s company, she would eventually be discovered by Xie Xiu, and she would never be able to see the full picture.

All these years, Xie Xiu had protected her carefully, such that she did not know of the world outside.

That being said, Mu Zhi felt that she should search for a company working with Xie Xiu’s company and went undercover there. That way, she could understand Xie Xiu better.

Moreover, she would have more things in common to talk to him.

Mu Zhi was satisfied with her solution and was cheered up instantly.

She immediately submitted her resume online and researched the companies that had dealings with Xie Xiu’s company.

At last, Mu Zhi found a company.

She was very happy to have found it!

…

The next day, Lu Jinye arrived at the company on time and called Linda to his office to ask, “Has the secretary from yesterday came to work?”

Linda shook her head and replied, “Not yet.”

Lu Jinye did not show his emotions. He said to Linda, “You can go out first. When she is here, tell her to come to my office.”

“Yes, sir.”

Linda answered and left immediately.

However, by the end of that day, Mu Zhi still had not shown up at his office.

It was the same on the second, third and fourth day!
