Chapter 740: The Secretary Is Hard to Conquer
Since childhood, Zuo Hong had always been the "other people’s child" in parents’ stories.He grew up good-looking, excelled in studies, was sensible and obedient, never worrying his parents. Women of all ages, from eight to eighty, always showed endless favor towards him.
He even had little girls liking him from kindergarten, writing him crooked love letters, giving him all sorts of candies and trinkets.
Up to this day, his admirers could circle the Earth three times, and countless love letters ended up in his trash bin.
So, he has become adept at dealing with admirers.
He didn’t even spare Zoe a glance, directly ignoring her, as if he couldn’t hear her, so cold and arrogant that it could shatter a girl’s fragile self-esteem.
But Zoe, used to being tormented by Cherry Lewis, didn’t even know what self-esteem was, and still followed Zuo Hong around enthusiastically: "How old are you? Do you have a girlfriend? Where do you work? Can’t we be friends? Such a young age, don’t always keep a straight face, it’ll age you~"
Zuo Hong had already placed an order, sitting down at a table, and scoffed at Zoe’s "young age" comment.
He was twenty-six this year, and she calls that young?
Blind.
He gave Zoe a very fair evaluation in his heart.
Beauty was said to be a calamity, but when a man was too good-looking, it wasn’t a good thing either, like—
Zuo Hong had only been seated for five minutes when six girls approached, wanting to share his table!
Zuo Hong wasn’t particularly reactive, but it infuriated Zoe!
The world’s gone downhill!
Why are girls these days so shameless?
Didn’t they see her sitting opposite Zuo Hong already? Yet, they just ignored her, and came straight to snatch him!
Zoe glared at the girls with her black and white eyes filled with disdain, but those girls also looked at her with disdain—they thought she was the most shameless one here!
Others left gracefully after being rejected by Zuo Hong, never pestering again, but she shamelessly followed him, unable to chase her away!
Zoe certainly couldn’t leave, even though those girls looked at her as if to pierce a hole through her she wouldn’t budge, firmly guarding Zuo Hong, lest he got stolen away by some little enchantress, undermining her recruitment plan.
The food Zuo Hong ordered quickly arrived, and before eating, he coldly said, "Sit somewhere else, I can’t eat with you sitting across from me."
Zoe felt a stab right in the heart!
What did that mean?
Does he find her ugly?!
She turned to look at the restaurant window, the clean, bright glass reflected her face.
A palm-sized face, cherry lips, a small pretty nose, double eyelids, long hair hanging in front, and when not speaking, she exudes a serene temperament, definitely a little beauty fit for a feast, how is she ugly?
Thick-skinned, she labeled herself a "beauty" and rested her chin on her hand: "Zuo Hong, your taste is lacking!"
Zuo Hong paused his eating for a moment and looked at her coolly: "You know me."
Just now she was pretending to ask his name!
"Yeah, I know you, but you don’t know me!"
Zoe extended her hand towards him: "Hi, I’m Zoe, nice to meet you!"
Her hand hung in the air for a full minute, but Zuo Hong didn’t shake it, leaving her embarrassed as she reluctantly withdrew her hand.
She wasn’t expecting Zuo Hong to shake hands with her anyway.
This was a hard nut to crack, unlikely to be easily threatened like Secretary Fisher was, forced to pass messages for her.
She sighed despondently, staring at Zuo Hong’s handsome face as she muttered to herself: "What to do?"
