Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 144 - 143: Best Substitute (5) - Third Update

Only after the middle-aged man approached did he realize something was amiss. He glanced at Zhao Yijun and suddenly discovered that although this lady resembled the one Liao Yizhou had brought out a few days ago, there were still some differences.

He looked at Liao Yizhou’s somber face, realizing he had misspoken, his heart skipped a beat.

"CEO Liao, you see, I’ve drunk so much tonight, I actually mistook someone else for her, I’m really sorry!" He looked at Liao Yizhou’s face, which was showing unpredictable emotions, and vanished in a puff of smoke from his sight.

Yi Xian and Pu Zhehan seemed to have also noticed the situation here.

They hurried over to smooth things over.

"The new financial elite, with dual master’s degrees, look at the title Global Finance has given you," Yi Xian gripped Zhao Yijun’s arm, exaggeratingly said, "Yijun, you are indeed still that Top Student. I’m such a slacker compared to you, I simply can’t compete. Yizhou, you’ve always said we don’t understand your vision, but weren’t you having a delightful conversation with Yijun just now? I really haven’t seen a girl more impressive than Yijun."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yijun smiled, somewhat proudly.

To achieve such a result was indeed rare.

Zhao Yijun had always been the benchmark child in the eyes of these people’s parents as she grew up, including Pu Zhehan, who, to a greater or lesser extent, all admired her.

Liao Yizhou very gentlemanly escorted her back, and after Zhao Yijun returned to her room and closed the door, she received a phone call from home, "Yijun, get along well with CEO Liao. Dad remembers you were classmates before, and when you have time, bring him home for dinner."

Even her father, who had previously looked down on Liao Yizhou, was now addressing him as CEO Liao, and Zhao Yijun’s eyes shone even more brilliantly.

But the smile she had raised in Liao Yizhou’s presence finally sank.

Her two hands clasped tightly together.

So, Liao Yizhou had already brought that stand-in to meet with business associates.

Although it was just her stand-in, she felt somewhat irked.

Luckily, a stand-in is still just a stand-in. Zhao Yijun focused slightly, and now that the real person was back, it was time for the stand-in to step aside.

Meanwhile, Liao Yizhou had returned home. He had thought that seeing Zhao Yijun, whom he had been unable to forget, would leave him too excited to sleep, but that was not the case.

Zhao Yijun was no longer the naive girl he remembered. Every action and word of hers seemed calculated, familiar yet alien.

Liao Yizhou looked at the documents before him, which included a recent finance case that had been coordinated with Fenghua Group, and which he had discussed with Zhao Yijun.

Only, Zhao Yijun had gotten one detail wrong.

He had gotten somewhat used to Ye Shaohua occasionally pointing out a few issues for him, her insights sharp and accurate. Liao Yizhou couldn’t help thinking that if Ye Shaohua were here right now, she would have identified the issue, and faster than him.

At that thought, Liao Yizhou was startled. Why was he thinking of Ye Shaohua?

Now that Zhao Yijun was back, he shouldn’t be thinking about her anymore. That would be too unfair to Zhao Yijun.

The advice of Yi Xian and the others lingered in his mind; it seemed, indeed, he couldn’t wait any longer.

"Ye Shaohua, didn’t I tell you to hand over this case to Manager Zhao? Why haven’t you? I knew I shouldn’t have bothered you!" The company senior glanced at Ye Shaohua reproachfully and quickly took the documents into the elevator, preparing to deliver them to Zhao Yijun himself.

It was the same old story. The dormitory boss watched with a heavy heart; all these interns were without rights.

She whispered to Ye Shaohua, suggesting they pray to the Buddha when they got back, wondering if Ye Shaohua had encountered any villains recently.

"It’s alright." Ye Shaohua smiled and didn’t seem to mind, as she had encountered similar situations in her early years.

But after she became famous, no one dared to treat her like that anymore.

She hadn’t expected to encounter such things in this world, which was still somewhat novel to her.

"What are you doing?" The dormitory boss felt relieved seeing her like this. But turning her head, she was puzzled by the string of incomprehensible numbers on Ye Shaohua’s computer screen. "What the heck is this?"

These were codes used by Hackers, naturally beyond her understanding.

Ye Shaohua pressed her hand against her lips, the other tapping the Enter key. A person’s information appeared before her.

The dormitory boss didn’t have time to see clearly what it was before Ye Shaohua closed the page.

She checked the time on her phone; it was almost time for her meeting with the Investor from Fenghua Group, so she got ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, before she went to the Cafe, she received a call from Liao Yizhou’s Assistant.

The male Assistant initially didn’t take much notice when he heard that the CEO’s friend was looking for him, as Pu Zhehan and his group often came looking for the CEO.

But he was surprised when he saw the friend called Miss Zhao. This Miss Zhao... why did she look so much like Miss Ye?

"What’s the matter?" Zhao Yijun smiled and glanced at the male Assistant.

The Assistant saw the necklace on her neck, similar in style to the CEO’s, and instinctively knew he had stumbled upon a serious secret, "Nothing, Miss Zhao, please go in. The CEO said you should just go straight in when you arrive."

He watched Zhao Yijun enter, then stood outside for a while. He was no simpleton; putting the recent days into context, and seeing Liao Yizhou hadn’t been bringing Shaohua out, he guessed the truth of the matter.

The Assistant didn’t like to judge others, but he had admittedly been biased before.

However, from the interactions of the past few days, he could tell that Ye Shaohua was a decent person who hadn’t asked the CEO for any internships or even accepted a designer bag.

Now, looking at Zhao Yijun, he suddenly felt some sympathy for Ye Shaohua. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

What’s more, Liao Yizhou had given him a card to pass on to Ye Shaohua.

Knowing where Ye Shaohua worked, he checked her off-work hours and then called her.

"Miss Ye, how have you been recently?" He glanced over at Ye Shaohua sitting opposite him, and it was apparent that she had lost some weight.

A sigh of sympathy escaped him, his gaze filled with pity.

Ye Shaohua peeked at the time on her phone, 18:42, less than twenty minutes remaining.

"I’m fine, do you need something from me?" Her fingers tapped on the table, timing her schedule.

The Assistant sat opposite Ye Shaohua, and though it was difficult, he ultimately pushed forward the card, "Miss Ye, this is from the CEO for you."

What he couldn’t bring himself to tell her was that the real person had returned, and the CEO had kicked her to the curb. This was essentially severance pay.
