On her first official day of work, Shen Jiani wasn't assigned any tasks, but she didn't waste any time either. She meticulously studied the "notes" Zhu Yilan had given her, almost memorizing them.
As quitting time arrived, Shen Jiani glanced around the office. Some colleagues were busy, while others were packing up to leave. Since she didn't need to work overtime, she clocked out on time and followed her colleagues out of the office.
As the elevator descended, Shen Jiani could feel the probing gazes of her colleagues.
Throughout the day, they had subjected her to these curious and probing looks. She had become accustomed to it.
When they reached the ground floor and the elevator doors slowly opened, Shen Jiani tried to ignore them and stepped out.
Her phone vibrated twice in her palm, and a new message popped up.
Fu Jichen: "Still not down?"
For a moment, Shen Jiani's expression was vacant. She didn't even remember when she added this person on WeChat. After reading the message, she looked across the lobby and saw the black Maybach she had ridden in that morning parked outside.
Was Fu Jichen waiting for her in the car?
Realizing this, Shen Jiani tightened her grip on her phone and quickened her pace to leave.
Qu Mo, sitting in the car, saw her approaching and prepared to get out to help open the door, but he didn't have time. She moved so quickly that she jogged to the side of the car, just like in the morning, and went directly to the passenger side.
Shen Jiani couldn't open the car door, feeling a bit puzzled. However, she didn't think too much about it. Despite using more force, she still couldn't open it.
Unaware that Qu Mo had locked the door the moment her hand touched the door handle, she tried again with more force, to no avail.
Naturally, she didn't know that Qu Mo had locked the door at the moment her hand touched the door handle.
Qu Mo, sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, opened them and lowered the half-open car window. "Come over."
Shen Jiani belatedly realized that the front door was locked. No wonder she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried. With no other option, she reluctantly moved to the back seat, next to Fu Jichen.
She tried to sit closer to the door, creating some distance between her and him.
Fu Jichen noticed her subtle movements and coldly harrumphed in his heart. He spoke in a deep voice, "How was your first day at work?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu. I'm fine." Shen Jiani's expression was serious, adopting the demeanor of a CEO's assistant. She had firmly memorized and strictly followed the standard rules of the job.
Qu Mo, someone who never joked around, was amused by her twice today—once in the morning and now.
Indeed, he saw Fu Jichen raise his hand to his forehead in the rearview mirror, looking somewhat speechless at Shen Jiani's words. "You don't need to call me Mr. Fu in private."
Shen Jiani pursed her lips and remained silent.
The car started and left the Dongke office building. Some onlookers who had peeked from inside the building walked out, sticking their heads out and staring in the direction the CEO's exclusive car departed, expressing their amazement.
"Wow, what's up with that Shen Jiani? Going home in the CEO's car? It's like a scene from a TV drama."
"Seriously, it's because of her connection with the CEO. No wonder she could parachute into the secretary's office."
