Chapter 2521: Non-human: Xiao Chen's Amnesia After 12

Liang Yanze stood silently for a moment, glancing at the time.

If he delayed any longer, he would be late.

If Jin Chen was determined to follow, he couldn't stop him at all.

The so-called agreements and rules derive their binding force entirely from the premise that the other party is willing to obey them.

Liang Yanze sighed, a deep sense of helplessness welling up, and in the end could only compromise.

"You can come along." He said.

Jin Chen on the sofa instantly perked up, becoming lively.

"But," Liang Yanze said, his tone heavier, looking at it sternly, "you must follow the new rules."

"At the company, you absolutely cannot do what you do at home…… randomly crawling into my clothes." He added an even more important clause, "Nor may you harm any of my colleagues, no matter what they do—absolutely not, understand?"

Liang Yanze actually had no confidence; whether these rules would be followed depended entirely on Jin Chen's mood.

Fortunately, apparently because he was allowed to follow, Jin Chen's mood improved, he happily circled him once and agreed readily.

"Good!"

Before Liang Yanze could even relax a little, Jin Chen crept closer, pushing his luck: "If I agree to all this, does that mean I get to have Duoduo bully me?"

Liang Yanze: "……"

He expressionlessly lifted his wrist to glance at his watch, avoiding the mist's gaze, his voice cold: "We'll talk about it tonight when I get back."

Jin Chen seemed fairly satisfied with that promise and stopped pestering.

The mist lightly wrapped around his shoulder and followed his wife out the door.

Top floor of Junxi Group, General Assistant Office.

When Liang Yanze arrived, there was still half an hour before Zhou Chengzhou's usual work start time.

The General Assistant Office was already fully staffed, filled with a busy atmosphere.

Liu Zou walked past the hallway, saw him enter, and smiled in greeting: "Assistant Liang, good morning."

Liu Zou was Zhou Chengjun's secretary, about the same age as Liang Yanze, and they got along well.

"Good morning." Liang Yanze nodded slightly, didn't break stride, and walked straight to the private office.

Ye Lu sat at his workstation, watching Liang Yanze enter the office, a flash of envy and longing in his eyes.

He thought, If there's another business trip or team-building opportunity, I wish it could be him and General Manager Zhou going together……

Ling Gun Gun immediately reminded, 【Host Host, quick look! That workstation over there, seeming to exude green-tea sourness from head to toe, is Ye Lu!】

The mist perched on Liang Yanze's shoulder curiously floated up a bit, looking outward through the glass wall.

His gaze swept over that fairly handsome face, giving a very subjective evaluation.

【This person is really ugly.】

Objectively speaking, Ye Lu's appearance stands out among ordinary people.

But in Jin Chen's view, nothing in the world compares to his wife.

Liang Yanze noticed the mist's direction and also glanced outward in that direction.

He didn't understand what outside had attracted the creature's attention.

——

At that moment, Liu Zou knocked and entered with a tablet, confirming with Liang Yanze the morning meeting's agenda.

As they were speaking, the office door was lightly knocked; Ye Lu entered holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee, smiling.

"Assistant Liang, your coffee." He set the coffee on the table, but his eyes quickly swept over the tablet in the Chief Secretary's hand, obviously having overheard their earlier conversation.

General Manager Zhou will arrive at the company early today.

Ye Lu's eyes lit up, he seized the opportunity, speaking to Liang Yanze with a pleading yet expectant tone: "Assistant Liang, I heard General Manager Zhou is coming early today to hold the morning meeting; do you need extra help?"

"I can go to the venue to take meeting minutes, or…… just go brew coffee for General Manager Zhou would also work."

Liu Zou beside him raised an eyebrow.

He had seen too many men and women trying to take shortcuts in this position; Ye Lu's little thought was all too obvious.

Liu Zou said nothing, just smiled and looked at Liang Yanze.

Liang Yanze put down his pen, lifted his gaze, and his cold eyes fell on Ye Lu's face, devoid of emotion.

"What is your position?"

Ye Lu blinked, then answered instinctively, "……Resource Dispatch Assistant."

"I thought you wanted the position of a little secretary in the Secretary Office who serves tea and water."

Ye Lu's face instantly reddened; he opened his mouth to defend himself: "Assistant Liang, I don't mean that—I just want to learn more and help out……"

Liu Zou laughed again, breaking the tense atmosphere.

He glanced at Ye Lu, then half-jokingly teased Liang Yanze: "Looks like your subordinates are quite lively, wanting to jump ship to my side, huh?"

Ye Lu's face grew even redder; he lowered his head, not daring to look at Liang Yanze again: "I'll get back to work now."

Liu Zou picked up the tablet from the desk, told Liang Yanze: "All right, the procedure's fine; I'll go check out the venue first."

The mist floated around Liang Yanze, completely oblivious to the undercurrents flowing between the people.

The swamp didn't understand positions, nor did it get sarcasm; it merely vaguely felt that his wife had just been a bit fierce, but not like the angry way she was last night.

It extended a tentacle, lightly touching Liang Yanze's nape, deliberately controlling it, transmitting a comfortable, warm temperature.

Liang Yanze felt the warmth coming from his nape; his typing fingers paused slightly, then quickly returned to normal.

"Jin Chen."

"This also won't do?" Jin Chen exclaimed in shock, "I didn't even crawl into your body!"

"No, never mind," Liang Yanze sighed, only able to ignore the strange feeling, "Do as you wish."

In the following time, Liang Yanze efficiently processed emails and documents, coordinated the morning meeting, and supervised project progress.

Jin Chen was initially curious, looking around, but soon found it utterly boring.

His wife's job was just staring at a glowing board and tapping strange blocks all day, which was incredibly dull.

He withdrew into the seashell hidden in Liang Yanzhe's pocket, intending to get some sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Jin Chen was dozing when Ling Gun Gun's anxious voice suddenly woke him.

【Host, don't sleep! Wake up quickly!】

【Ye Lu sneaked off to the Chief Executive Officer's office, Zhou Chengjun seems to have just gotten back from a meeting!】

Jin Chen, annoyed at being woken, turned over in the seashell, his morning anger flaring.

【Where is the Chief Executive Officer's office? I can't find it.】

【Not going.】

Ling Gun Gun wished he could drag him out, coaxing and persuading, 【Think about the plot, think about how your wife will be miserable later because of him!】

【Your wife will be targeted, will leave the company, will be miserable; now is a good opportunity to stop the plot, please be proactive and go keep an eye on her.】

Jin Chen reluctantly crawled out of the seashell.
