Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Once they reached Fu Corporation, Mu Tongrui glanced at the time. She was still 10 minutes late even if she had hitched a ride from Ye Zibo.

Ye Zibo was from 'royalty' and would not be fired, but Mu Tongrui was different. Xiang Nanqian had disliked her all along and now she would be working in Xiang Nanqian's department. It was with a lot of difficulties that she found this job and she would definitely not resign simply due to her relationships with Xiang Nanqian and Fu Lingye. She was no longer the young miss from Mu family so could not afford to be that spoilt anymore.

Grabbing her bag, Mu Tongrui ran to the lift.

Ye Zibo had not even stepped out of the car when he found Mu Tongrui missing when he turned around. Alas, that girl runs fast indeed.

Mu Tongrui was nervous when the lift stopped at 60th floor. She took two deep breaths before she stepped out of the car, and walked briskly in her high heels to the Creative department.

Xiang Nanqian had reached long ago and was pacing up and down in her office with her hands behind her, as if she was waiting for Mu Tongrui. The moment she saw Mu Tongrui, she chided coldly, “Mu Tong Rui, you are late for 11 minutes and 50 seconds on your first day at work. Look like you do not really care about this job.”

Or does she think that she can arrive in office anytime now that she is Fu Lingye's 'wife'?

Xiang Nanqian was obviously finding fault in her. Thus, Mu Tongrui did not care to explain but admit her mistakes instead. “Sorry Ms. Xiang. I would not be late next time.”

Xiang Nanqian stared at her coldly, and knitted her exquisite brows. She ordered, “Andy, bring Mu Tongrui to do the paperwork!”

Xiang Nanqian's voice was neither loud nor soft. It was at the precise volume which everyone in the office could hear.

Along the way when Xiang Nanqian's assistant, Andy was bringing her to the HR department, Mu Tongrui could vividly hear the gossip about her from her new colleagues in the Creative department.

“What kind of situation is this? So, we have someone 'parachuting' into our department now? Is this a stunt by sales department?”

“Yes, this society is indeed built on relationships. Even our department is not spared from this.”

“I find this Mu Tongrui familiar. I saw her just now at the building entrance, alighting from a Porsche 918.”
