Chapter 481: Help me!

He gave an embarrassed hehe laugh: "Didn't we agree to work overtime tonight? It's only six, and the boss is already in such a hurry to leave?" He scratched his head, as expected, the boss's words can't be trusted!

One second he said they'd work overtime today, the next second his own boss hastily packed up, indicating he wanted to leave?

But he was merely Jiang Cheng's assistant, like an idiot, being played around by others, and though the crucial moment was right in front of Jiang Cheng, he could only smile foolishly like a simpleton.

Jiang Cheng merely glanced at him: "We've already settled everything we're handling, except for that guy's matter; there's no problem with the rest."

"Since there's no problem, why do we have to stubbornly stay here? Wouldn't it be better to go rest? Why must we cause trouble for ourselves and then foolishly remain here?"

Jiang Cheng, with a slight raise of his eyebrows, gazed calmly at the person before him.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh at his subordinate's earlier reply.

This guy has been by his side for a while, but why can't his brain wrap around this? Such a simple question actually requires the boss himself to answer it here.

He looked at this subordinate helplessly: "If you don't want to leave work, then stay in the office and handle things; I definitely won't stop you."

"Do whatever you want, I won't say a word against you!" Jiang Cheng merely glanced at him, finished packing his things, and decisively left.

As for that subordinate, seeing Jiang Cheng sprint away so fast, how could he stay here?

The boss has left work; what is he doing staying in the company?

Jiang Cheng left through the back door.

He might be unable to think straight, so he left through the front door.

That Zhang Zong was still waiting outside for Jiang Cheng. He waited from daytime until night, watching as most of the company's staff left one after another, yet his Jiang Cheng had waited so long and still hadn't seen Jiang Cheng!

How could he not be flustered? He's already in a panic!

Terrified, he grabbed the influential person beside Jiang Cheng: "You didn't tell me earlier that Jiang Cheng would come see me after finishing his work? But I've been waiting here all day, why won't Jiang Cheng come find me? Has he already blocked me?"

Upon seeing the junior assistant, Zhang Zong rushed over and grabbed him. Then, terrified, he pleaded: "Could you please help me quickly?"

"Also, has Jiang Cheng finished handling his matters? If so, could you please help me arrange a meeting quickly? I really want to meet Jiang Cheng now."

Seeing the situation grow increasingly serious, if we don't quickly find a solution, it'll truly be over!

Just thinking about this already terrifies him.

After all——

If things continue to deteriorate like this, all his efforts could come to nothing.

Just thinking about it makes him fearful!

The assistant never expected that, while wanting to go home, he would be suddenly seized and brought back.

Looking at this panicked, earnestly gazing Zhang Zong who sought his help.

He forced a smile.

"Our boss has a pile of work to do, but I have some matters at home, so I have to go back for a bit; as for our boss… he seems to still be in the office, right?"

"I've heard he has a lot on his plate, and tonight he seems to have to work overtime as well. I'm not really clear on the details, so I truly can't help you!"

"If I can help you, I definitely will; if I can't, I can only apologize here." The assistant dare not help now, huh?

As Jiang Cheng just said, this is the consequence of his own making.

If it weren't for his arrogant attitude when he first sought Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng would have genuinely given him a chance, but instead he's just messing around there!

He's lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot; now repenting here, but who is he repenting for?

Someone like him clearly deserves this; who would be willing to help him now?

Everyone can't wait to distance themselves from him!

"Are you sure your boss still has a pile of work to do?" Zhang Zong inevitably questioned: "I'm telling you, don't try to fool me like I'm an idiot!"

"Although I do indeed need Jiang Cheng's help now, this doesn't mean I'm that big of a sucker!" How could he not be flustered?

He's already in a panic, thoroughly frightened by this matter!

If this continues, he's done for!

The assistant forced a smile: "I really have other things to do at home, I truly don't have that much time to chat with you about this… so I'm leaving first."

"As for my boss, he always acts according to his own principles. If he wanted to see you, he would have already done so; perhaps he's genuinely unwilling to meet you now, which is why he's been working overtime."

"Zhang Zong, I truly understand your feelings, but you can't force what's not meant to be. Moreover, some things have already happened, so you can only give up now."

Cold sweat poured from him as he spoke.

Whoever stands before him is, after all, a big boss with some money.

It's still Zhang Zong!

He foolishly rushed to provoke them, even saying such things to their face.

If Zhang Zong gets angry, he might just slap him!

Zhang Zong delayed acting, also out of respect for Jiang Cheng's face.

However, if he continues to cause trouble and prevents him from seeing Jiang Cheng smoothly, given Zhang Zong's temper, he might very well blame him!

He spoke pleadingly, constantly apologizing here: "I really have other special matters on my hands, truly no other way; please, with your magnanimity, let me go back to see my parents, okay?"

"At least wait until I settle my matters first!"

Eh!

Zhang Zong has a bit of a temper: "No, I don't want to believe you, but I've been waiting here all day and still haven't seen Jiang Cheng—I'm really panicking!"

"Especially since these matters of mine can't be delayed; I must see Jiang Cheng quickly, or else all our efforts here could come to nothing!"

"I really have no other choice, so I have to ask you for a little help—you won't refuse even this tiny simple task, will you?" (End of chapter)
