Chapter 210 - 140. Then quit your job and come back to accompany me.
She was the person closest to the door, and before President Mu completely left the meeting room, she heard two gentle words filled with warmth: "Awake?"Although the voice was very low, she indeed heard it.
At that moment, her gossip-loving heart began to stir. On the surface, she remained the most dignified senior secretary, calming those obviously displeased shareholders, but in her heart, she was already fantasizing.
Could it be that President Mu really took President Huo’s words to heart?
Did they ’make peace through passion’ last night?
So now his mood changed from rain mixed with snow to sunny?
Tsk tsk tsk, President Huo is really impressive.

The pajamas covering her couldn’t conceal those disorderly traces. After washing up, Nan Wan went to the dressing room and changed into a turtleneck sweater, pulled up her long hair, revealing a full and beautiful forehead.
Her complexion was rosy, and she looked very energetic.
Passing by the master bedroom, she noticed the mess from last night had been completely tidied up.
Without lingering, she turned the corner and went downstairs.
There was only Aunt Zhou in the living room, and when she saw Nan Wan coming down, she quickly went to the dining room to bring the pre-heated milk to her.
She explained what happened just now, "Madam, I didn’t mean to answer your phone without permission. Before leaving for the company, sir specifically instructed me, your phone was on the living room table, we should ignore calls from others, but if he calls, I should first pick it up and then let you listen."
Nan Wan took the milk, smiled, and while drinking, she walked towards the dining room, "Aunt Zhou, don’t be nervous, I’m not blaming you."
Aunt Zhou was relieved to see this, walked into the kitchen, and brought the prepared dishes to the dining table, the last being a pot of soup.
She wiped her hands on the apron in front of her, looking at Nan Wan with some difficulty, "Sir said Madam worked hard last night and told me to stew chicken soup, and he also said... said I have to watch you drink a bowl."
Madam already mentioned yesterday she no longer wants to try eating meat, though today’s chicken soup she stewed was delicious, for a long-term vegetarian like Madam, it must be the hardest thing to eat on the table.
But the sir’s orders must be carried out...
Hearing the first words from Aunt Zhou, Nan Wan’s ears began to heat up.
He said it in a way that Aunt Zhou would think she faced emergency patients at the hospital last night, but she knew exactly what he meant.
It took her a while to regain her composure.
Smelling the chicken soup didn’t make her nauseous, but she hadn’t been forced to eat anything since she was seven. Never did she expect that at twenty-six, without her third brother to force-feed her meals, she’d have Mu Jin Huan trying to force feed her soup.
Leaning back on the chair, she took a sip of milk, casually asked, "What if I don’t drink it?"
Aunt Zhou cleared her throat, replied with what sir told her to say in the morning, "Sir said, if you don’t drink it, I won’t need to work here anymore."
Nan Wan laughed, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, "Obvious scare tactic, he’s not that kind of person."
Aunt Zhou and Zhao Ying were both people Madam Mu sent over. He hasn’t even touched Zhao Ying; how could he fire Aunt Zhou over such a trivial matter like this? Clearly, it’s said just for her to hear.
Aunt Zhou felt a little embarrassed, did not expect Madam would see through it so easily, stood by the table, not knowing what to do.
Nan Wan also noticed Aunt Zhou’s embarrassment, so she put down her chopsticks, smiled at her, and said, "It smells pretty good, Aunt Zhou, could you serve me a bowl?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou immediately smiled and repeatedly agreed, "Okay, okay, I’ll fetch the smallest bowl for Madam."
Saying so, she went back to the kitchen, took out a clean bowl, served two spoonfuls of chicken soup, and placed it before Nan Wan.
"Madam, I am truly sorry. I had an upset stomach last night, went to bed early, and didn’t know when you returned."
"It’s okay, I came back late," Nan Wan first tried a small sip of the chicken soup, felt it wasn’t nauseating, then took a second sip.
While drinking soup, she casually asked, "What time is it? Xiao Zhao hasn’t gotten up yet?"
Aunt Zhou didn’t feel anything wrong, just said what she knew, "It’s almost three, Xiao Zhao also seemed to have an upset stomach, after cleaning the backyard this morning, she stayed in her room, should still be unwell."
Nan Wan responded lightly, stopping her conversation, elegantly ate her meal.
Just her ears felt hot, she concealed it well, not obvious.
Three o’clock... she slept for so long.
Aunt Zhou, seeing that the small bowl of chicken soup was already at the bottom, felt relieved and went to tidy up the sofas in the living room.
