Chapter 866 The 'Dummy' Who Refused to Be Bound for a Lifetime (4)
At six o'clock, Mu Zhou got off work.
She is still in her probationary period and does not need to participate in night shifts.
So I go to the cafeteria for dinner after get off work.
During this time, the Song family's housekeeper called again, expressing concern that she was not doing well outside.
“Mr. Song has been much quieter at home these past few days, Miss, please don’t be angry with him.”
The implication was that Mu Zhou was being incredibly immature.
She didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.
Back in her dorm, she was getting ready to wash up when she received a call from the front desk.
"Zhouzhou, could you come to the front desk? There's a special situation, and we're short-staffed right now."
Fortunately, Mu Zhou hadn't changed his clothes yet. When he arrived at the front desk, he found Xiao Li standing there with a worried look on his face.
"Zhouzhou, stand at the front desk for a moment, I'm going upstairs."
Mu Zhou put on his employee badge and asked curiously:
"Where are Lin Yu and the others?"
The front desk staff is limited to three people, usually two women and one man.
Tonight, Xiao Li, Lin Yu, and Zhang Qingqing are supposed to be on duty, but now only Xiao Li is there, which makes Mu Zhou suspicious.
Xiao Li quickly explained the reason to her.
It turns out that the famous actor Han Ke brought his mistress here, and the paparazzi caught them red-handed.
The paparazzi were deliberately targeting him. They didn't even discuss hush money and just released the information directly, catching Han Ke completely off guard.
Han Ke is a married man who has been marketing himself as a devoted husband and father for years, and now the public outcry has completely exploded.
Even though it was almost midnight, the hype remained unabated.
The area outside the resort is now packed with media personnel, and all the security personnel have been deployed.
Han Ke's wife arrived immediately, and now the two sides are fighting.
The people on duty have gone to mediate and control the situation, making sure no one takes photos and posts them online.
Xiao Li gave a brief explanation and left in a hurry.
The front desk fell silent again.
Mu Zhou looked in the mirror and prepared to comb her hair again.
She had just rushed over, and a few strands of her bangs were loose.
But before she could find the comb, she saw someone walk in through the door.
Even from a distance, I could only see the doorman bowing respectfully in greeting; he didn't seem like an ordinary guest.
Mu Zhou quickly stood up straight.
The newcomer had a stern face, and his expensive suit shone brightly under the lobby lights.
He walked straight to the front desk and sat down on the sofa chair.
Mu Zhou was about to stop him when he suddenly realized that the man was none other than Young Master Shen, Shen Junchuan, who had put the entire resort on high alert.
He sat there with his legs crossed, looking languid, one hand supporting his temple, his brow furrowed as if he had a terrible headache.
Mu Zhou was unsure whether to greet them or not, and could only stand there awkwardly.
Shen Junchuan is an absolute heartthrob with perfect bone structure; his features are flawless even on the big screen, and his real-life appearance is strikingly handsome.
The invisible aura emanating from it makes people only dare to stand properly at a distance, unable to harbor any thoughts of disrespect.
Mu Zhou stood there dumbfounded until he suddenly raised his eyelids, his deep and indifferent gaze looking straight at her.
The moment their eyes met, Mu Zhou didn't look away guiltily, but immediately spoke:
"Hello Mr. Shen."
It was as if they had been preparing for a long time.
After she finished speaking, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had completed her task, and silently stood a little further away.
You have to greet the boss when you see him; that's the rule.
Once she completes the assigned tasks, she doesn't need to worry about anything else.
Shen Junchuan stared at her silently, his gaze sweeping over her without any emotion before finally settling on her delicate face.
Noticing his gaze, Mu Zhou stiffly turned his head, but the smile on his lips was still the standard one.
"Mr. Shen, what can I do for you?"
Shen Junchuan stared at her for a few seconds, then spoke calmly:
"I've seen you."
A very affirmative tone.
Mu Zhou was somewhat surprised, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Strictly speaking, Mu Zhou and he are not from the same circle.
The rumors were true; Shen Junchuan's family background was indeed powerful.
Both his parents came from prominent families, but he took his mother's surname. His mother's side was a low-profile aristocratic family overseas, so when people mentioned Shen, they couldn't imagine that there was any large family with the surname Shen in Huacheng.
This is why Shen Junchuan's family background has never been exposed.
However, within Song Huaizhi's circle, everyone knew Shen Junchuan's background, and Mu Zhou naturally knew it as well.
However, she had no recollection of ever having any interaction with the two.
Perhaps I've seen you on some occasion?
Since he brought it up, Mu Zhou had no intention of hiding it:
“My name is Mu Zhou. I grew up in the Song family. Mr. Shen may have seen me before.”
Shen Junchuan scrutinized him, but remained silent.
But Mu Zhou understood his doubts.
So she explained:
“I’ve moved out of the Song family’s house now, and I need a job.”
She answered with grace and poise.
After the falling out with Song Huaizhi, and knowing that he was deliberately trying to make him suffer, Mu Zhou knew that if he were to submit his resume to those big companies normally, he would probably be eliminated in the first round.
Throughout Huashi, countless businesses have intricate connections with the Song family.
But Shen Junchuan is different.
He and Song Huaizhi had a casual personal relationship and no business dealings; their businesses barely overlapped.
She didn't actually have many choices.
This was her last refuge.
A complex and confused look flickered in Mu Zhou's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Shen, I need this job, please don't send me away."
Shen Junchuan gently rubbed his temples with his fingertips, his dark eyes unreadable.
The obedient and sensible little wooden puppet, raised by the rigid Song family, actually had a day when it rebelled.
interesting.
He lowered his eyes and closed them.
Mu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that Shen Junchuan had tacitly agreed.
Here, she wasn't afraid of being recognized, partly because she rarely appeared in public, only attending events with Song Huaizhi.
But those activities were only open to people from the same social circle as Song Huaizhi.
When they come to Heming Manor, they don't go through the front desk registration process at all.
They have dedicated public relations staff to provide services and make all the arrangements perfectly.
Therefore, Mu Zhou felt no psychological pressure working here.
She looked at the operating system and continued practicing on her own.
Shen Junchuan had drunk some wine tonight and was having a headache. He was finally able to relax a bit and didn't want to go anywhere else.
The two of them stayed there quietly for a while.
Until Xiao Li rushed over in a flurry.
"Zhouzhou, let me tell you, the scene upstairs is absolutely spectacular..."
Mu Zhou tried desperately to signal to her with his eyes, but Xiao Li didn't understand at all and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong? Are your eyes bothering you?"
She entered the front desk and froze instantly.
"Mr. Shen..."
She looked like the sky had fallen.
Mu Zhou scratched his forehead helplessly.
Shen Junchuan slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Although Xiao Li shut her mouth after seeing him, he still felt that the air was not as quiet as before.
This place is no longer suitable for resting.
He stood up to leave.
Just then, a man pushing a cart came in from outside.
The man was wearing a logistics department uniform, and there were some new handkerchiefs on the trolley.
Mu Zhou followed him with a puzzled look.
