  Ming Shu walked around the square and finally found him before a shop at the square’s side. The shop was closed, with the painted words “House Demolition” on its door, and there was a large poster on the wall.

  It was an old poster, with four edges torn and incomplete, but its main body was still intact.

  It was a movie poster.

  The young man had a passionate smile on his face, and behind him was the beach and ocean. The sky was blue and the sun shone as if it had suddenly reached the seaside.

  The poster was probably put up a year ago when the square was still under construction.

  So this spot at the square’s side could be counted as the best advertising position at that time. But now the vicinity was going to be demolished, and no one would buy this advertising position, so this one-year-old poster was still here.

  Lu Zhuo smiled and turned his head, revealing his cute little canine teeth. “Do I look good in it?”


  Ming Shu put a hat on Lu Zhuo’s head and bit on a drinking straw. “Just ordinary.”


  Lu Zhuo became a little unhappy and refuted while adjusting the hat, “What ordinary, don’t you think I’m handsome? What’s wrong with your eyes?”


  Ming Shu smiled evilly. “You’re behind the times.”


  Lu Zhuo’s expression changed slightly. Three seconds later, he snorted and left.

  On the way back, Lu Zhuo became quiet suddenly, as if the talkative man before was not him.

  Ming Shu sent Lu Zhuo to the address given by Fang Qi.

  They arrived at a villa community. After such a long time, the community security had been advanced many times. Lu Zhuo failed in the face swiping and he didn’t remember the password, either. So they were blocked at the gate.

  “I haven’t come back in one year, how would I remember? I was not born for memorizing the password. Besides, my assistant used to help me with these issues, so I didn’t need to memorize it.”


  Ming Shu put her hands on her hips. “Isn’t this your house?”


  “Nope.”


  “.……”


  “I’ve sent you here anyway. You know, I’m a boss and I’m very busy, so just think of a way on your own. Goodbye.” Ming Shu waved to the psychopath. She needed to go back and have some snacks to get over this.

  “You can’t leave.” Lu Zhuo caught Ming Shu’s hands. “What will I do if you leave? Do you want me to sleep on the road? What if I’m seen by fans? No, I don’t want that.”


  Ming Shu forced apart her hands with a smile. “Don’t worry. You’ve been out of date for one year, ordinary people won’t recognize you.”


  Lu Zhuo tightened his grip. “I have so many fans, how could you know no one will recognize me? What if I’ll get kidnapped? You can’t leave me here like this. If I die, you’ll have to take responsibility.”


  Ming Shu: “.……” ……

  Ming Shu returned to the company. The secretary saw a young man following behind Ming Shu and felt a little strange. She trotted forward and asked in a low voice, “Boss Xu, did you bring him back from the scene and want to teach him some hidden rules?”


  Ming Shu glanced at the secretary, and the latter revealed a standard smile.

  This secretary lady was very promising.

  Hidden rules?

  But it was not the secretary who thought too much, it was that the rich second-generations all liked to play like this. Look at those rich second-generations, they either taught the small stars hidden rules today or would be linked to affairs and scandals with the small stars tomorrow.

  Boss Xu was also a rich second-generation, so there was nothing wrong with her teaching a handsome young man some hidden rules.

  Lu Zhuo was no stranger to the company. But he hadn’t come here for one year, so the company was a little different in some areas. Just ass he entered it, he was quite overcautious, but while the secretary and Ming Shu were talking, Lu Zhuo had turned on the chattering mode.

  “You’re actually our company’s boss, but it wasn’t you before. Are you new here?”


  “I remember my posters were placed at this place before, so who is this? A newbie?”


  “Why was this book shelf put here. That was not here before. Why does this look so ugly?”


  “Hey, that’s my manager.”


  A man in glasses walked over, followed by a pure and clean-looking boy. The glasses man saw Ming Shu and her secretary, and he didn’t intend to come over; but seeing Lu Zhuo, he paused and immediately decided to change direction and walked toward them.

  The glasses man sounded unsure even as he got closer. “Lu Zhuo?”


  Lu Zhuo called, “Brother Duan.”


  The glasses man frowned and turned to look at Ming Shu, sounding aggressive. “Boss Xu, why did you bring him back?”


  His tone made him sound like he was the real boss.

  This Brother Duan was the company’s golden manager. Because he cultivated a movie king before, he had a powerful voice in the company.

  He often looked down upon Ming Shu—the foppish boss who appeared from nowhere.

  “Even if I brought back a monster, it would be none of your business,” Ming Shu answered casually.

  “So will Brother Duan work with me still? My contract is not yet up,” Lu Zhuo interjected.

  Brother Duan gave a look to him before ignoring him.

  “Boss Xu, do you know that he……” Brother Duan paused and took two steps forward, then lowered his voice. “Do you know he’s ill?”


  “But he didn’t ask you to pay for the treatment. Why are you so unhappy?” Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled.

  “Boss Xu, I’m worried for the company.” Brother Duan became even unhappier. “If he causes any trouble, we’ll have to clean up the mess.”


  “Then I won’t bother you, Mister Duan.” Ming Shu smiled. “Tell the HR department……”


  “Boss Xu!” The secretary interrupted Ming Shu and made eyes at Brother Duan, indicating for him leave.

  Brother Duan’s expression changed slightly. He had heard many rumors recently that the new foppish boss wouldn’t treat the company as her family’s as long as she was unhappy.

  He retreated quickly with that handsome young boy.

  His ability could get him fine treatment in any company, but in Beichen, his status was not comparable to that in other companies.

  “Boss Xu, you can’t just fire people randomly. These people have a lot of friendsourcing in their hands.” After waiting for Brother Duan to leave, the secretary began to pacify Ming Shu. “You should at least consider the company.”


  “Did I pay him to tell me what to do about my decisions? Did I hire an employee or an ancestor?” Ming Shu’s voice was light and slow, a smile at her lips, and you couldn’t tell if she was angry or not. “Don’t blame me if you interrupt me again in the future. Don’t forget who’s paying you.”


  The secretary looked at the person in front of her with a stunned expression. The boss always revealed a smiling face to others, and her expression wouldn’t change much while facing anyone.

  Her decisions were more like a casual order from a foppish young miss.

  This was the secretary’s first time to see Ming Shu behave so domineeringly……

  Her speaking tone was no different from before, still with a smile, but her imposing manner became totally different.

  “Won’t Brother Duan work with me?” Lu Zhuo didn’t seem to notice the changed atmosphere. “Who will be my manager then?”


  “A ghost.”


  Lu Zhuo: “.……”


  Ming Shu walked toward her own office. The secretary didn’t dare speak again and followed Ming Shu silently.
