Chapter 525 - Peach Blossom Tao Xian (14) (1/2)
In this office, the team that Hua Jian brought out for field operations were stationed in a closed-off office inside. All the people in the outside office didn't need to go for field operations. They were all under this female manager called Mengjie.
”What does this have to do with you? I am not under you.” Ming Shu hugged her snacks and smiled at Mengjie.
”Sister Mengjie, Tao Xi had…”
”Is it your turn to talk?” Mengjie shouted at An Zhiling.
An Zhiling got frightened and swallowed back her words.
Mengjie was so angry, her face turned green. There was hatred in her eyes. ”You're here. Why are you not under me?”
She was one of those people that liked Hua Jian. These past few days, Hua Jian had been going in and out with her and even on days when he didn't need to come back due to his field operation, he would return specially to fetch her.
Also, Jian Ying said that… said that Hua Jian was her guardian.
How could she not be angry?
The person that she liked was suddenly seduced by a little demon that popped up from nowhere.
Ming Shu said softly, ”If I say that I am not under you, I am not under you.”
”Mengjie, Tao Xi was brought in by the captain. Don't talk so much.”
Jian Ying's words had no persuading effects. It added more oil to Mengjie's flame of anger.
Ming Shu said again, ”If you are not convinced, you can find your captain.”
Mengjie was so angry she lost control of herself and said without thinking, ”You are just a demon. What right do you have to be obsessed with the captain!”
I don't have any intentions toward your captain. He is the one that has intentions toward me.
”Demon?”
”She is a demon… but there is no demon aura on her.”
”If she is a demon, then it's not strange for her to be so pretty. I wonder what kind of demon she is.”
The people in the office started gossiping quietly.
Lu Jiu didn't tell the people about Ming Shu's identity so when their demon-seeking stone showed no reaction, they thought that Ming Shu was a human. Now, when they heard Mengjie saying that she was a demon, they all felt quite shocked.
However, there were already demons in the office so they were just stunned.
”Hey, your captain is back. You can ask him.” Ming Shu pointed at the door with her chin.
Mengjie got a shock and turned around. She saw Hua Jian and Lu Jiu walking over.
Hua Jian's gaze landed on Ming Shu. He asked calmly, ”What happened?”
Mengjie quickly rearranged the expression on her face. ”Captain, Tao Xi wants to leave the office during office hours. I just told her off and she rebutted me.”
”Who says that you can tell her off?”
Mengjie raised her head instantly and looked at Hua Jian in disbelief. ”Captain, she broke the rules.”
Hua Jian ignored Ming Shu. He said to Ming Shu, ”You will follow me from now on.”
”Captain, she…”
”Do you have an objection?”
The man's calm and composed gaze made Mengjie's heart jump. There was no oppressive aura at all, but she just couldn't say anything.
”Follow me.”
Ming Shu hugged her snacks and followed Hua Jian into the office.
”Don't you all have work to do? Why are you all crowding around? Disperse, disperse.” Lu Jiu settled the people around them. The others didn't dare to continue looking and they returned to their desks to continue their work.
Mengjie looked at the office. After they walked in, the blinds were pulled down and she couldn't see anything inside.
She is just a demon… why…
”Zhiling, you will report to the field operations department.” Lu Jiu pointed at An Zhiling. ”Pack your stuff.”
An Zhiling nodded her head in a daze.
