Chapter 314: New Department Chief (3)

In the independent office separated by glass, the young man and young girl of similar age held hands and smiled at each other.

To the outsiders, it was a scene that was extremely harmonious. However, only the two people who stood opposite each other knew the murderous intention hidden under each other’s smiles.

Xiao Jingyao keenly felt the tense atmosphere among the two people. He coughed lightly and interrupted, “Hello, Chief Zhao. I’m Xiao Jingyao, the president’s secretary. The president has given me his orders. You have just joined the company not long ago. If you have any questions, you can ask the general manager and me. We’ll definitely help if we can help.”

The two people in the confrontation came back to their senses at the same time because of Xiao Jingyao’s words. The hands that were clasping were also released instantly without a trace.

Zhao Youming turned his head and smiled politely at Xiao Jingyao. “Please take care of me, a newcomer who has no experience, Secretary Xiao.”

“Sure, Chief Zhao.”

“All right, we just came down to welcome the new colleague. If there is nothing else, we’ll leave first. Chief Zhao, if you have any questions later, you can also ask the vice department chief of the development department, which is the one over there,” Zhao Youlin said and pointed at another independent office not far away.

After saying all the necessary things, Zhao Youlin was about to leave with Xiao Jingyao. Suddenly, she heard an urgent cry from behind. “Wait, Youlin!”

Zhao Youlin’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and Xiao Jingyao, who followed closely behind, had a trace of surprise in his eyes as well.

Zhao Youlin closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the surprise in her eyes had disappeared. She turned around and smiled at Zhao Youming. Then, she reminded him in a perfect manner, “Chief Zhao, I’m very happy that you can call me, your cousin, in front of so many people. However, this is still the company. The company has its own rules. If possible, I hope you can call me the general manager.”

Zhao Youlin had separated herself from Zhao Shuncheng’s family with just a few words without making people feel that she was too unreasonable.

Zhao Youming’s almond eyes, which were inherited from Li Hongyu, flickered a few times. His face also showed a helpless expression, which aroused sympathy, after being rejected so hastily.

“O-Okay. Youlin, I’m sorry. I just think that it sounds distant if I call you the general manager directly. After all, I have been abroad for a long time, and it’s rare to see relatives like you when I return to the country. I made a gaffe. I’m sorry, and I won’t do it again.”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face became gentler. “Chief Zhao, I can understand your feelings. I have been staying with the Mu family for a long time. When I finally returned home and saw the relatives who have blood relations with me, I felt extremely warm. So, some gaffes are inevitable. However, you have started to work now, and this is where you will work in the future, Chief Zhao. As your cousin, I hope you will treat your work seriously and be responsible. Don’t be too emotional.”

When Zhao Youlin said this, the expression on her face was extremely sincere, and her tone was soft and gentle. She showed the image of a sister, who was thinking about her young brother, vividly, so no one could find the slightest mistake.

‘Doesn’t this guy want to act friendly with me? I’ll act together with him. It’s just acting. I’m good at it as well.’

Zhao Youming glanced at Zhao Youlin deeply, and he was silent for a moment. Then, he let out a sigh of relief. “I’m really touched as you can think for me like this. At first, I thought that you would have prejudice toward me because of my mom and sister’s affairs. Now, it seems like I’m just worried over nothing. But speaking of this, I really should say sorry to you for what my mom did. My mom didn’t think twice, so she did something like that. She almost caused an irreversible consequence and hurt you. I’m really sorry.”

Zhao Youming’s words were extremely sorrowful, and he seemed to be deeply saddened by what his mother had done.

If Zhao Yolin did not know what kind of a person he was previously, she would really be fooled by him.

“Although it is too late to say anything now, I still want to ask for forgiveness for my mom. After all, she has paid the price for what she has done. After all, she is my mom, who gave birth to me and raised me.”

‘So, you still know that she is your mother.’ Zhao Youlin sneered as she thought to herself.

Li Hongyu had been most pitiful. She had been planning for a lifetime so that her two children could get everything from the Zhao family and become superior beings.

But in the end, not only was she forced to death by her own son, but she was also used and belittled by him after she had passed away. What reaction she would have when she heard Zhao Youming’s words in the hell.

Zhao Youlin glanced at the employees who had gathered outside the office as they heard the noises here. She said with a faint smile, “Chief Zhao, you have misunderstood me. Am I a person who can’t distinguish between right and wrong? Your sister and you are two different people. Why would I blame you for what your mother and sister did?”

“Youlin, my mom…”

Zhao Youming wanted to interrupt, but Zhao Youlin did not give him this opportunity. “They should be responsible for what they did. What does it have to do with you? You don’t need to worry about me having any bad impression of you because of this. You’re outstanding, so I believe you’re not the same type of person as your mom and sister. Besides, with your relationship with Minister Zhao, I’ll take care of you. How can I have ill feelings toward you?”

Zhao Youlin’s words seemed to be speaking for Zhao Youming, separating him from Li Hongyu and Zhao Youxi. It was also to tell other people that she would treat him equally.

In fact, she cleverly avoided Zhao Youming’s words which were asking for Zhao Youlin’s forgiveness for Li Hongyu. Zhao Youming kept hinting that he was completely different from Li Hongyu and Zhao Youxi.

If that was the case, the affair of asking for forgiveness should not be asked by him, who was righteous and kind. Otherwise, Zhao Youlin would become the villain who vented her anger at other people, regardless of right and wrong.

Zhao Youming’s expression changed. He maintained a smile on his face and said, “I’m relieved since you said that, Youlin.”

Zhao Youlin nodded with gratification. “All right, don’t keep the bees in your bonnet since you have just joined the company, just work without worry. If you have any questions, you can ask the seniors in the same department. I’ll leave first since I have something to do.”

“Okay, be careful on your way, Youlin.”

Zhao Youlin took a few steps toward the outside together with Xiao Jingyao. Suddenly, she stopped, as if she remembered something. She turned her head and pointed to her ear. Then, she smiled gently at Zhao Youming and said, “Oh yeah, I forgot to say it. Youming, your ear studs are pretty.”

Zhao Youming was stunned. After realizing what Zhao Youlin had said, his face instantly turned pale. He looked at Zhao Youlin’s back, which had gone far away, and clenched his fists slowly.
