22 You're Fired

Elena's facial expression revealed everything.

Mila patted Elena's hand and started the car. It was a good thing that they had requested a two-day vacation. Based on Elena's current condition, she probably wouldn't be able to film well tomorrow. Mila left the parking lot and drove slowly to the gate. The security guard recognized their car and happily waved at them. Neither Elena or Mila responded as they drove out of the apartment area.

One hour ago

On the 52nd floor, Lu Chenjun was in a horrible mood. He hadn't smiled once since the day Elena asked him for money to buy luxury items. This was the second time in his life he felt confused and didn't know what to do. The first time was when "she" left, and this is the second time.

Fang Shi, on the other hand, was scared as hell. He knew why his boss was angry, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Earlier today, there had been a meeting with all the departments. The meeting was supposed to last two hours, but it had lasted four hours. If it weren't for the fact that it was well past lunchtime, the meeting might have gone on for even longer. Lu Chenjun took turns screaming at each department leader and chucked at least 10 folders on the glass table.

It was easy for Jin Yinghui to get Lu Chenjun mad and just disappear, but it wasn't easy for Lu Chenjun's workers. What could they do? They needed the job and the salary was very appealing.

This morning, Lu Chenjun had been extremely mad because Elena didn't go visit him. He had thought that Elena would make him lunch again, and come to ask for his forgiveness. However, not only did Elena not make him lunch, she hadn't even texted him the entire day.

In his office, Lu Chenjun spun around in his chair, his eyes burning with rage. He pressed a button on the landline phone and called Fang Shi in.

Fang Shi carefully opened the door and tiptoed in. Any wrong action could result in serious punishment.

"Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"

Lu Chenjun turned his chair over and stared at Fang Shi.

"Where is Jin Yinghui?"

Fang Shi looked up in fear, "I don't know, boss. Her filming should have ended already."

Lu Chenjun slammed the table, "What do you mean you don't know? What's the point of having you here then? I give you ten minutes to figure out where Jin Yinghui is and why she hasn't come and given me lunch yet."

Fang Shi nodded before sprinting out of Lu Chenjun's office. After the door closed, Fang Shi let out a sigh of relief. At least he didn't lose his job. He ran over to his desk and immediately began searching for Jin Yinghui.

He called Director Xin, who picked up after two beeps.

"Hello, Director Xin. I am Fang Shi, President Lu's assistant."

"Oh, yes. Hello Assistant Fang. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes. Director Xin, do you know where Jin Yinghui went after filming today?"

Director Xin thought for a second. "Jin Yinghui? She didn't come today. Yesterday, she requested a break and said she had some private problems to solve."

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Director Xin."

Fang Shi immediately hung up the phone and rang back up the stairs, into Lu Chenjun's office.

"Mr. Lu, Jin Yinghui didn't film today. She had requested a break and didn't go to the set."

If looks could kill, this would be about when Fang Shi would die.

Lu Chenjun stood up and shouted, "Is this all you have? I am asking you where she is. You still have 6 minutes 22 seconds. If I don't get a detailed explanation of why she left and what she is doing, you're fired."

Fang Shi nodded hurriedly and bolted out the door.

Lu Chenjun sat back down and frustratingly tugged at his tie.

'Is Jin Yinghui really like those other women? Did she just run off with my money?'

Exactly 6 minutes later, Fang Shi reappeared inside Lu Chenjun's office.

"Mr. Lu, I got it all figured out. Jin Yinghui and her assistant drove the car you gave them and left for the north side of the Jin Province this morning."

Lu Chenjun was impatient, "What for?"

"They stopped at the Xiaoshu Apartments, and they entered the apartment room 1737. Based on the information I got, Wang Qing and Jin Yinglu live in that apartment. If my assumption is correct, those people are Jin Yinghui's parents. Therefore, Jin Yinghui went to go visit her parents today."

Lu Chenjun raised his eyebrows. "Is that all you got?"

Fang Shi immediately raised both hands and shook them. "No. I got more. This is the important information. I figured out why she went. The day after you gave her the check, she visited the bank. I called the bank and figured out that she had transferred all 70,000 yuan to her parents' account. I'm sorry boss. I couldn't figure out the reason, but it is confirmed that Miss Jin Yinghui didn't use the money for luxury items like she said she would."

"You proved your usefulness. Half of your year-end award is back."

Fang Shi widened his eyes in amazement.

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss." Fang Shi bowed down twice before leaving the office happily.

Lu Chenjun leaned forward and rested his head on his hands. He smiled happily.

'She is different from the other girls. But why would she lie to me? Why did she give the money to her parents?'

Lu Chenjun was still confused, but he felt much better now. He could guess that Jin Yinghui had asked him for money because she trusted him and needed it for important purposes. He stood up and fixed his tie.

"Fang Shi, do you know when she is coming back?"

Fang Shi shook his head, "Boss, you can go wait for her in her apartment?"

Lu Chenjun nodded and said, "Tell everyone that they can leave work early today."

Fang Shi looked up hopefully, "Even me?"

Lu Chenjun walked towards the elevator, "No. You come with me to Jin Yinghui's apartment."

Fang Shi sighed and looked down. There is a reason why his salary is so high. He literally has to work 24/7 without a break throughout the entire year.

Fang Shi quickly made an announcement on the speaker, telling everyone that they could go home early today. Then, he ran over and joined Lu Chenjun on the elevator.

On the elevator ride down, Lu Chenjun turned to Fang Shi.

"Did I misunderstand Yinghui? Is that why she left and was avoiding me?"

Fang Shi knew that his boss didn't have much real dating experience, and this was the perfect time for him to earn the other half of his award back.

"Mr. Lu, I am perfect for this. You have little dating experience and I have a lot. I think that Miss Jin Yinghui isn't mad at you. However, you could make her happy. You should go buy some food for her and bring it over to the apartment. That way, she will be happily surprised, and she may fall in love with you."

Lu Chenjun stared at his stupid assistant.

"Your idea is good, but how dare you say that I have little dating experience. Be careful, or else your year-end award will be gone again."

Fang Shi immediately shut his mouth and looked down. But he was just telling the truth. . .
