However, the documents Dongfang Mo gave her confused her. She had never come into contact with such documents before, so she was unsure how to go about it.
She had not choice but to do rote memorization. It was her weakness.
Dongfang Mo was a typical devil. Seeing that she found it difficult, he told her he would not give her any food on the second day. He said that she would be unable to eat if she could not memorize the documents. He said that he would even have her locked up in an empty house, which was actually a detention room. He told her he wouldn't let her out until she had studied and memorized everything.
Mu Ru knew that she would be able to do it if she set her mind to it. Under Dongfang Mo's cruel and powerful oppression, she had finished everything in half a day.
As scheduled, three days later, Mu Ru was arranged to meet with Nangong Xun.
She wore a complete set of high-end professional attire that Dongfang Mo had prepared for her. In order to appear mature, she even wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Her long hair was tied up in a bun. She got into Dongfang Yu's car, and he drove towards the Dongfang Group office building.
"There's no need to be so nervous," Dongfang Yu said.
Dongfang Yu looked at Mu Ru, whose hands were clenched. Her body was trembling. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"You were asked to go and meet Nangong Xun on behalf of my brother. You're not going to be executed. Why are you so afraid?"
"Wouldn't you be afraid if you were in my place?" Mu Ru retorted.
Mu Ru didn't hold back in answering him. She rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
She said, "It's because you're ignorant and incompetent. You're just idling around all day. If you weren't, you would be the one handling this, not me."
"What do you mean? What makes me ignorant? You're the one who said all this nonsense just now," Dongfang Yu said.
Dongfang Yu was very dissatisfied with Xi Muru's accusation.
He added, "Also, I haven't been idle, okay? I just like beautiful women. I'm also a womanizer. That's not too much, right?"
Mu Ru simply ignored him and looked out the window. She kept praying in her heart that Nangong Xun, whom she was going to meet after a while, would not be too difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, Dongfang Yu did not continue to pester her about it. Forty minutes later, the car stopped. The Dongfang Group's building was towering above the clouds. Mu Ru was dumbstruck as they arrived in front of the building. She was leaning her head back as she was gazing upwards.
"Don't even try. It has fifty-nine floors. You won't see the top no matter how much you try," Dongfang Yu told her.
Dongfang Yu pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
He said, "Oh, right. The CEO's office is on the 58th floor. You have been appointed as the temporary CEO, and your office is also on the 58th floor."
Dongfang Yu had already opened the car door for Mu Ru and very gentlemanly reached out to help her get out of the car. At the entrance of the building, there were already two neat rows of people lined up on both sides to welcome the CEO.
Mu Ru was holding a briefcase in her hand. She was dressed professionally and wore a pair of three-inch high heels. Dongfang Mo said that she was short, so he had ordered a new pair of high heels for her.
She gripped the briefcase tightly with both hands and secretly cheered herself on. Then, she tried her best to act like a white-collar beauty from a television drama. She lifted her head and walked calmly through the rows of people.
She directly entered the VIP elevator. After stepping into the elevator, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed. 'Oh my god,' she thought. She had seen Ning Sicheng among the people there to welcome her. He was a senior from Binhai High School who been admitted to Harvard University.
