The Most Familiar Stranger

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Yi Ren said a bit excitedly.

"Tell you what? That I'm that extremely ugly, cruel, cold-blooded boss who likes to abuse employees?" Ji Minze said with a smile.

"Uh..." A blush of embarrassment appeared on Yi Ren's face.

God!

Save her!

She really didn't mean to speak ill of him in front of him!

Because there was nothing wrong with her intelligence!

"I hope you'll like this job. I'll ask Hao to arrange your work scope."

"I wasn't admitted because you pulled some strings, was I?" Yi Ren looked at him with a questioning gaze.

If that was the case,

she wouldn't be interested in working here anymore.

If she needed to quit, she could just go work at Huanyu!

"No, I've always been strict about separating public and private affairs!" After saying this, Ji Minze dialed the internal line and asked Dongfang Hao to come to his office.

"President!" Dongfang Hao knocked on the door and came in.

"Hao, I'll leave the onboarding training for Yi Ren to you!" Ji Minze instructed Dongfang Hao, especially emphasizing the word "newcomer".

"Yes, president!" Dongfang Hao replied. Then he turned to Yi Ren and introduced himself again. "Hello, Secretary Yi. I'm Dongfang Hao!"

"Hello. Please give me your guidance in the future!" Yi Ren said with a smile to Dongfang Hao.

"Yi Ren, this is my special assistant, Dongfang Hao. You'll learn from him in the future!" Ji Minze said to Yi Ren again.

"Okay! Thank you, president!"

Yi Ren and Dongfang Hao walked out of Ji Minze's office.

"This is your desk!" Dongfang Hao pointed to a spacious desk outside the president's office and said to Yi Ren.

Unexpectedly, the first time Yi Ren worked as the president's secretary, he was the one who guided her, and now it was back to the starting point, and he had to do it again.

"Thank you, Special Assistant. Can I ask you a small question first?" Yi Ren said softly.

"What question? Go ahead and ask!" Dongfang Hao turned to Yi Ren and said.

It seemed that her chosen amnesia this time was more severe than before.

Dongfang Hao was a bit frustrated,

but the one who should be even more frustrated was the person in the president's office!

"The president isn't a vindictive person, is he?" Yi Ren asked very seriously.

If so,

she was going to have a hard time in the future.

It would be better for her to leave early.

"Of course not. Why do you ask?" Dongfang Hao felt that he was starting to go crazy too.

Yi Ren was clearly standing right in front of him,

but she didn't recognize them at all.

"That's good. I spoke ill of him before. He shouldn't take it to heart!" Yi Ren let out a sigh of relief.

"What bad things did you say about him?" Dongfang Hao asked with great interest.

Did the world like such a chaotic situation?

"I just heard that the president is extremely ugly, cruel, cold-blooded, and likes to abuse employees!" Yi Ren said dejectedly.

People shouldn't do bad things, or they'll get their comeuppance soon!

And her comeuppance had arrived.

"Then you said it in front of him?"

"You can't really blame me entirely. I didn't know he was the president!" Yi Ren said innocently.

If she had known that he was the president of Longteng,

she definitely wouldn't have spoken ill of the president in front of him!

She would have done it behind his back!

"What was his expression at that time?" Dongfang Hao smiled even wider.

He wondered what it felt like to hear someone speak ill of oneself so harshly to one's face!

"He didn't show anything special. Who knew he was the president! I thought the president would be a middle-aged or elderly person over forty or fifty years old!" Yi Ren muttered softly. "He won't take the opportunity to abuse me, will he?"

"Don't worry. He might abuse anyone else, but he won't abuse you! Besides, he's never liked abusing people!" Dongfang Hao laughed!

He believed that someone must have instilled wrong information in Yi Ren,

and the person who instilled this wrong information must be someone who had a problem with Ji Minze,

and there was only one person in the Long Mansion who would do this, and that was ——

Yan Ziyun!

"That's good. Special Assistant, you can teach me now!"

Only then did Yi Ren feel relieved and let Dongfang Hao explain her work scope and responsibilities to her!

"Where's Ziyun?" After getting off work and returning to the Long Mansion, Yi Ren asked the servant.

"Hello, eldest miss! The second miss was taken back to the Yu family by Young Master Hanxi." The servant replied respectfully.

"Oh! Thank you!" Yi Ren said, a smile appearing on her face.

Yu Hanxi was never a fool.

No matter how good Yan Ziyun was at playing tricks,

she would ultimately not be able to escape the palm of the Buddha.

There actually exists something called trust in the world.

Sometimes you will inexplicably trust someone you don't know well. You will tell him a lot of things, even things that you haven't told your closest friends.

Sometimes you will inexplicably not trust someone you have been getting along with day and night. Even though you have shared and guarded countless secrets together, at that moment, when you look at his face, you still don't trust him.
