Chapter 456 Chu Xinyuan's Suicide Attempt and Hospitalization
Before bringing Ding Le over, Yan Zuozuo called Zhu Xi to ask if she had really decided to resign with Yi Fanxi. The girl nodded without hesitation.
Yan Zuozuo felt helpless, but thinking about it, it made sense. Zhu Xi had joined Fan Hua Design because of Yi Fanxi, and now that Yi Fanxi was gone, there was naturally no need for her to stay.
So Judy's position was taken by Ding Le. However, Ding Le didn't know anything, so Yan Zuozuo had to put in a lot of effort herself and occasionally ask Cai Keren for help.
Cai Keren handed the uniform to Ding Le. It has to be said, this woman's figure was absolutely stunning when she was dressed. But once she took her clothes off, her muscular physique was less flattering.
Cai Keren showed Ding Le around and gave her a general introduction to Fan Hua Design. However, she was a little curious: this woman hadn't been hired through a recruitment process, so what was her relationship with Yan Zuozuo?
Upon hearing her question, Ding Le blinked and said, "My sister-in-law said there are lots of handsome young men here."
"..." Cai Keren's lips twitched. What kind of answer was that?
However, she calls Yan Zuozuo "sister-in-law," and according to Cai Keren, Yan Zuozuo doesn't have any relatives. Could she be a relative of Chi Moqing? Hmm, if that's the case, it makes sense.
It took about an hour for Cai Keren to show Ding Le around the entire Fan Hua Design Center. Ding Le didn't like coffee, so Cai Keren made her some juice instead. Ding Le, carrying the juice, smiled and went to find Yan Zuozuo. Cai Keren followed behind her, finding the girl rather interesting.
After closing the office door, Yan Zuozuo said, "Keren, I need to talk to you. Please have a seat."
Cai Keren and Ding Le sat opposite Yan Zuozuo. Ding Le was drinking her juice with great satisfaction, like a little kitten. Cai Keren, on the other hand, looked dignified. "Director, what can I do for you?"
“Jusie and Yi Fanxi have both resigned, and I might be too busy to handle things here for a while. Could you come and help me out?”
Cai Keren was surprised and glanced at Ding Le, "Director, Miss Ding, she..."
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Keren, we've worked together for so many years, I believe you won't betray me, and I didn't intend to hide it from you. Ding Le is the bodyguard my husband assigned to me; the assistant is just a figurehead."
"Bodyguard?" Cai Keren was dumbfounded, but then she thought of Ding Le's muscular physique, and it made sense. She immediately nodded, "Director, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I don't have much to do these days anyway, so I'll be your assistant again."
"Thank you for your trouble," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile, then turned to Ding Le, "You just need to stay in my office, it might be a bit boring."
"Can I see some young, handsome men?" Ding Le's eyes lit up.
Yan Zuozuo nodded with a smile, and told Cai Keren to prepare a laptop for her, then added, "You can go online whenever you want."
Ding Le nodded eagerly, muttering, "I lost to that guy last time, I'm determined to get my revenge."
"what?"
"Ah, it's a competition to see who can break through the firewall first, and I was a little late, it's so annoying!" Ding Le said, looking like he was gritting his teeth.
Yan Zuozuo choked. If she hadn't heard, did it involve some questions she was better off not asking?
Cai Keren received a look from Yan Zuozuo and quickly said, "I didn't hear anything."
Huh? Ding Le looked at them in confusion. Had they not heard her talking to herself? But it didn't matter anymore. After all, attacking the Interpol database wasn't something worth publicizing.
Since Ding Le wasn't a real assistant, and Cai Keren couldn't help her indefinitely, Yan Zuozuo asked Cai Keren to post a job advertisement. She explained that as a director, she needed an assistant to handle many things, and therefore needed someone with genuine talent and skills.
Yan Zuozuo arranged for Ding Le to stay in her office, setting up a similar desk and chair as her own, and the computer was also her favorite. Ding Le sat down in the chair and sighed, "Ah, so comfortable."
"I'm glad you like it." After settling Ding Le in, Yan Zuozuo began to handle her work.
Not long after, the office door was knocked open again, and a handsome man in his early twenties walked in. He was very good-looking and had the air of a current teen idol.
Yan Zuozuo was stunned. Cai Keren was too fast. She had already summoned her assistant.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a sharp voice. Ding Le suddenly sprang up, leaping over the desk and landing in front of the man. "You sly fox, what are you doing here?"
The man glanced at Ding Le casually: "Interview."
"You're here for an interview? You think your blockhead knows anything about this?" Ding Le said with disdain.
You know each other?
Yan Zuozuo blinked and looked at Ding Le.
The man seemed to disdain Ding Le, and walked past her directly to Yan Zuozuo, "Sister-in-law, I was sent by the general to protect you. You can assign me any position you like, I can do anything."
Another one?!
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. She thought Ding Le was enough, so why was there another one? It seemed that recent events had really scared her dear husband, making him so worried.
"Oh, okay, please have a seat." Yan Zuozuo chuckled as she called Chi Moqing, "Honey, how many people did you arrange to come over?"
"The foxes have arrived?" Chi Moqing nodded. "There are only two, don't worry, wife. By the way, you can call him Fox, that's his code name." Although there are only two, they might be worth an entire army.
Upon hearing Chi Moqing's address, Yan Zuozuo raised her eyes to look at the fox. He was clearly a handsome scholar, so how could he have such a cunning and alluring name?
After hanging up, she forced a smile. "A fox?"
Before the man could speak, Ding Le immediately chimed in, "You cunning fox, you seductive fox, you vixen, sister-in-law, don't be fooled by his appearance. He's not some kind and harmless young man; he's cunning."
"Get away!" Fox reached out and covered Ding Le's palm-sized face, shoving him away forcefully. Then she smiled and looked at Yan Zuozuo, "Yes, sister-in-law, I am Fox."
This name... Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched.
Ding Le felt insulted. "Damn it, this guy actually dared to slap me! This is intolerable! Let's fight!"
It's been a long time since we've had a war, and the fox is itching to fight.
Yan Zuozuo barely saw how they exchanged blows before she saw two figures flitting about in front of her, the air filled with the whistling sounds of fists and kicks, each strike swift and deafening. She was dumbfounded, yet also terrified by the furnishings in the office.
Holy crap, is this some kind of action movie being staged in broad daylight, with blood splattering everywhere?
She swallowed hard, feeling as if she were watching a movie; the scene was simply too unreal. Compared to cheap special effects, this was a true clash of masters.
She was dazzled by what she saw, but she quickly realized a serious problem: how long was this going to go on? What if their subordinates outside discovered them? Wouldn't their identities be exposed immediately?
Her face darkened, and she looked at the two men locked in a life-or-death struggle, shouting sharply, "Stop it, both of you!"
Here, she is the master!
The two seemed not to hear, and continued to punch and kick each other. They fought back and forth, making quite a scene.
Yan Zuozuo glared at them: "This is an order!"
The moment the word "command" was uttered, Fox and Ding Le seemed to have been struck on pressure points, quickly withdrawing their hands and standing straight, looking as if they were saying, "Commander, you are reprimanding me."
Yan Zuozuo had a bit of a headache. She took a deep breath and walked to the two of them. "What are you doing here?"
"Protect my sister-in-law, serve the people!"
Wow, they're speaking in unison! They're really in sync.
"So what are you doing now?"
Neither of them spoke, bowing their heads in remorse. Finally, Ding Le spoke first, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I was wrong, and I'm willing to accept punishment."
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong too, and I'm willing to accept the punishment."
Yan Zuozuo glared at them, her attitude of admitting guilt was good, but this kind of thing absolutely could not happen again. She was pregnant now, and if her belly grew bigger and these two continued to be so disobedient, it would be troublesome.
"This is the last time. If there's a next time, you're all going back to your homes! I'll tell your general that you're the most worthless soldiers!"
The most unsuccessful soldier?
The two men stared wide-eyed, looking terrified. They were elite special forces soldiers; how could they be considered the worst of the worst?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, it will never happen again, I promise." The fox quickly said, he didn't want this dishonorable title, it was already embarrassing enough.
Ding Le chimed in, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, there will definitely not be a next time."
Yan Zuozuo snorted coldly: "That's for the best!" She turned around, took two copies of the company's rules and regulations from the table, and gave them to them. "Remember them carefully, and don't break the rules!"
"Yes, sister-in-law."
Chi Moqing had told her this: a soldier's sense of honor is paramount. If they disobey, you must learn to defeat them. She turned and chuckled to herself, surprised that it actually worked.
But the two people behind her weren't so happy. Their sister-in-law was making them read books? They'd rather be sent to the battlefield to fight bravely. Ugh, their sister-in-law is so mean!
"And one more thing," Yan Zuozuo said, suppressing a laugh as she turned to look at them, "You're not allowed to call me 'sister-in-law' at the company. You have to call me 'Director,' understand?"
"Yes, Director."
Next, Ding Le and the fox were seen looking at the rules and regulations with distressed expressions, as if they were about to cry.
Actually, Yan Zuozuo didn't mean to make things difficult for them, but these two were too out of control and needed to be properly regulated.
After get off work, Yan Zuozuo went out first, with Ding Le and Fox protecting her on either side, neither too conspicuous nor too far away so that they wouldn't be unable to get there in time if something happened.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the office building, they saw a group of reporters swarming towards them, surrounding Yan Zuozuo. Seeing this, Fox and Ding Le immediately rushed in, looking as if they were about to fight.
Yan Zuozuo recognized several reporters from television stations and newspapers, all of whom were frequent visitors. She turned to the two people beside her and said, "Step back and don't cause any trouble."
The fox and Ding Le exchanged a glance and took two steps back warily.
The reporter asked, "Director Yan, I heard that the direct trigger for Ms. Chu Xinyuan and her fiancé breaking off their engagement was the design drawings. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Director Yan, Ms. Chu Xinyuan couldn't think straight and attempted suicide last night. She's been hospitalized. Are you aware of this?"
"As a party involved in this whole affair, what do you have to say?"
One question after another was thrown at Yan Zuozuo, leaving her completely bewildered.
Did Chu Xinyuan commit suicide and end up in the hospital after being jilted at her engagement?
