Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 205 The lingering ghost

After lunch, with some time before work, Chi Moqing wasn't in a hurry to go back, so he took Yan Zuozuo's hand and strolled around.

He glanced at her and said, "Honey, you seem to be in a good mood right now."

Yan Zuozuo blinked: "Isn't it all the same? With my husband by my side, I'm in a good mood every day."

Chi Moqing's eyes softened, and he squeezed her hand. Neither of them spoke again, and they simply walked on in silence.

Not long after, Chi Moqing's phone rang. The call was short, but it was clear that Chi Moqing's expression was not good.

After he hung up, Yan Zuozuo asked curiously, "Who was that?"

Chi Moqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Auntie."

Yan Zuozuo's first thought, in a very considerate way, was: troublesome!

Her lips twitched as she asked, "About my cousin?"

Chi Moqing looked at him quietly, a hint of apology on her face. "My aunt hopes that my cousin can work at Fan Hua Design."

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but cough. Making her work with that cousin who she had never met but was already plotting to harm her was like the heavens were trying to destroy her.

"So... you agreed?" Yan Zuozuo asked with a strange expression.

“No, Xinyu applied for the job herself, and she has already been accepted.” Chi Moqing was also speechless.

Yan Zuozuo was completely stunned, blinked, and asked, "Which department?"

“Yes…” Just as Chi Moqing was about to speak, Yan Zuozuo’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen; it was Fisher calling. It was lunchtime, and he wouldn’t call unless it was something important.

She cleared her throat and said, "Director, what's up?"

“It’s not work time now, don’t call me ‘sweetheart’ so formally. Let me tell you, I’ve found you an assistant. She has a very keen sense of fashion and might be a great help to you,” Fisher said excitedly.

Yan Zuozuo froze, completely stunned. Don't tell her that what she was thinking was actually true.

Her lips twitched as she asked, "Director, may I know what my new assistant's name is?"

“The name… wait a minute, let me see… Ah! I’ve got it, Meng Xinyu!” Fisher laughed heartily.

Yan Zuozuo was completely dumbfounded; what she feared most had come to pass. With a conflicted expression, she tentatively asked, "Director, can I refuse?"

"Uh!" Fisher was taken aback, as if surprised. "Why? You see, all the other designers have an assistant, but you don't. I just hired one for you, and you don't like it?"

Was he specifically recruited for her? Does that mean she can't refuse?

Yan Zuozuo's mind was in a mess. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Really, can't I refuse?"

Good heavens, she couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be at odds with Meng Xinyu while working together. She really deserved it; why did she have to let Chi Moqing let her come back? Now look what happened, wasn't she just asking for trouble?

“Well… I’ve already hired the person, and I’ve even assigned him to you. It’s not easy to refuse, is it?” Fisher said.

Yan Zuozuo's face fell: "Alright then, thank you for your kindness, Director."

After hanging up the call, Yan Zuozuo looked helpless and met Chi Moqing's sympathetic gaze. Ha! So he already knew; otherwise, why would he have that expression?

She gritted her teeth and glared at him: "When did you find out?"

“Five minutes ago, my aunt called to ask you to take good care of my cousin.” Chi Moqing also looked innocent.

Yan Zuozuo was about to cry: "Can I refuse? Can I not accept this?" She hadn't even met him yet and he had already framed her. How was she supposed to get along with him in the future?

She looked at Chi Moqing with a wronged expression: "What if your cousin goes home and says I bullied her, and then causes her trouble?"

It wasn't impossible. Chi Moqing reached out and touched her face, but things had already come to this point, and he couldn't just let Meng Xinyu leave Fan Hua Design. To some extent, he had to consider his mother's feelings.

He paused for a moment, then said, "No matter what happens, your husband will protect you. I'll go back and talk to Mom about this before making a decision."

“Well…” Yan Zuozuo knew that when it came to matters concerning relatives, she always had to consider her family. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Never mind, I’ll spend some time with her first, and if it really doesn’t work out, then we’ll talk about it.”

Chi Moqing knew she was wronged, so he reached out and hugged her, saying, "Don't worry, even if it doesn't work with Mom, I have a way to get her to leave, but we need to hold back for the next couple of days."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. To be honest, she didn't want to put Chi Moqing in a difficult position. After all, they were cousins, and if things got too awkward, it would be Chi's mother who would be in a difficult position. She didn't want that to happen at all.

After a while, she said, "I will try my best to get along peacefully with my cousin, so don't worry too much."

Chi Moqing smiled and touched her face: "When we get back to the military compound tonight, I'll mention this to Mom, so you won't suffer any grievances."

Yan Zuozuo thought about it and realized that it made sense; they should report it in advance.

Yan Zuozuo originally thought she would meet Meng Xinyu when she returned to the company, but unexpectedly did not see her. Cai Keren said she came to report for duty, but had something to do at home, so the director allowed her to go back. She estimated that she would see her tomorrow.

Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief and started working. However, her mind was still filled with all sorts of random thoughts. What should she do if Meng Xinyu caused her trouble in the future? Ugh, so annoying!

When she got off work, Chi Moqing came to pick her up. As soon as she got in the car, he told her, "Park Sun-hee has already returned to Korea."

Yan Zuozuo was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel happy. But then she thought again, "Then you won't have a secretary again?"

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "The special assistant has already hired a new secretary, and this time it's a man."

Yan Zuozuo was a little dumbfounded. President Chi was indeed the perfect man for both home and travel. He was always so gentle, considerate, and thoughtful. She couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.

On their way to the military compound, Chi Moqing called and asked his mother to prepare dinner for them, saying he would be there soon. Chi's mother found it strange; what was wrong with this young couple? They had been coming back so often these past few days.

"Do you think my cousin might be with Mom?" Yan Zuozuo suddenly asked.

Chi Moqing looked at her amusedly: "Wife, wouldn't you say that once bitten by a snake, you're afraid of ropes for three years?"

Yan Zuozuo pouted, realizing she might have been worrying too much. She smiled shyly, "I was just asking."

Chi Moqing patted her head affectionately: "Don't worry, I bet Xinyu is on a shopping spree at the mall right now, so she can make a stunning appearance for her official start of work tomorrow."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Going to work isn't a fashion show; does she really need to make a stunning appearance? She didn't understand.

They soon arrived at the military compound. During the meal, Chi Moqing casually mentioned Meng Xinyu's matter. Chi's mother seemed to have no reaction, as if she already knew.

Chi Moqing frowned slightly: "Mom, you already knew?"

Chi's mother glanced at him and said, "Your aunt told me about it, and I think it's feasible too. Xinyu is spoiled, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to let her learn something from Zuozuo."

"Ke Xinyu is probably still upset about what happened last time. If she goes to work for Zuo Zuo, she might cause more trouble..."

“She’s my cousin!” Chi’s mother glared at Chi Moqing, then turned to Yan Zuozuo and smiled, “I know you were wronged last time. Xinyu is willful and spoiled. But you are cousins ​​after all, and there are some things I can’t say. Zuozuo, you have to understand your mother.”

Chi's mother's words were undoubtedly a death sentence; no matter what, Yan Zuozuo had no choice but to accept Meng Xinyu.

She gave an awkward laugh: "I know, I will take good care of her."

"Zuo Zuo is so sensible," Chi's mother said with relief. "If Xin Yu causes you any trouble, don't be shy. I'll take care of everything for you."

Yan Zuozuo nodded with a smile, but sighed helplessly in her heart. She had reported it now, but judging from Chi's mother's attitude, she was still somewhat biased towards Meng Xinyu. If something really happened in the future, wouldn't this turn into a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem? How difficult!

After dinner, she went back to her room, scratched her head haphazardly, and lay sprawled on the bed, feeling utterly annoyed!

The next morning, when Yan Zuozuo went to work, Fisher called her to his office. It was obvious that Fisher was going to introduce Meng Xinyu to her. She just didn't know if Fisher knew about her relationship with Meng Xinyu.

In the office, Fisher pushed Meng Xinyu's file in front of Yan Zuozuo, and she then discovered that Meng Xinyu had actually studied fashion design, which was quite a coincidence.

Yan Zuozuo was shocked to learn that Meng Xinyu had graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, one of the world's top four art academies. She hadn't expected Meng Xinyu to have such a high level of education, even though her grades... well, they had some flaws.

She frowned slightly and looked at Fisher. "With such a high level of education, isn't it a waste of your talents to be my assistant?"

Fisher raised his hand to interrupt her, "I know what you're worried about, but graduating from a prestigious university doesn't guarantee outstanding work. I'm just looking at her good fashion sense, so I'll let her intern with you for a while, and then we'll make a decision."

Yan Zuozuo sighed slightly, realizing she couldn't refuse Fisher either. She could only smile and say, "Alright then, I'll follow the director's arrangements."

"Don't feel guilty. Every year, the four major art academies graduate countless students, but only a few become famous. It's just a gimmick; in the end, it all comes down to real talent and skill."

Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart: "I understand, thank you, Director." After a pause, she suddenly asked curiously, "Director, which college did you graduate from?"

Fisher looked at her with a half-smile: "Would you be surprised if I told you I'm from the Harvard Law School?"

Yan Zuozuo's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Law school?

"So, it doesn't matter where you graduate from. What matters is opportunity and talent. I met my mentor when I was in college. I worked part-time while studying and unexpectedly became my mentor's prized student. It was a lucky accident."

"Truly legendary," Yan Zuozuo commented with a smile.

"Now you're free of any mental burden, right? Focus on your work, I have faith in you," Fisher said with a smile.

Yan Zuozuo nodded.

Just then, the door to the director's office opened, and Chi Moqing was right. Meng Xinyu walked in, dressed in a bright and extravagant outfit, with exquisite makeup on her face and high heels on her feet, exuding a powerful aura.

It was obvious that Yan Zuozuo paled in comparison to her. She looked up at her and met Meng Xinyu's fleeting disdain. Sigh, it seemed her days ahead would be difficult.

Fisher stood up and introduced them to each other. Meng Xinyu smiled innocently and said, "Hello, Miss Yan, I am Meng Xinyu. Please take care of me in the future."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. It seemed Meng Xinyu wasn't planning to announce their relationship, which was for the best. She smiled and shook hands with her, "Hello, I hope we can work together in the future."

After the two greeted each other, Fisher said, "Xinyu will be interning with Zuozuo from now on. Her evaluation is very important to you. Moreover, Zuozuo is a rare genius designer. You should learn a lot from her."

"I understand, I will try my best." Meng Xinyu exuded a pure and innocent aura, quite different from the spoiled girl Yan Zuozuo knew. She raised an eyebrow, feeling increasingly strange.
