Chapter 300: USB Drive, Disappearing Memories

extreme cold doesn't dissipate, in the worst case scenario, temperatures could fall to minus 20 degrees…”He pointed to a location on the map, where Qiao Bao'er's ski resort and surrounding areas were...December 24th, Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, sounds like a very romantic day, however, that's not really the case.

It's the weekend, such a beautiful day, but those who have to work overtime are still working hard. Some even end up exhausted. The business team has to chase after clients and beg them to sign contracts.

The headquarters building, even early this morning, still had a good number of people returning to work. The competition is so fierce; if you’re not careful, someone will take your place. Even during holidays, one can't afford to relax.

"Xia, General Manager, why are you back at work today"

Most employees here know Xia Chui Xue, and they greet her immediately upon seeing her. Xia Chui Xue is usually efficient at work and humble and polite to her subordinates, which has earned her the respect of everyone.

"Xia, the manager, didn't go out to play with her boyfriend today" A few female colleagues walked into the elevator with her. Since it was Christmas Eve, the question came naturally.

"No man looks at me," Xia Chuixue said with a smile, chatting with them.

"Ms. Xia, when you put it that way, all of us single folks feel ashamed... If you give the slightest nod, I bet there would be a line of male colleagues waiting outside your door."

The elevator was going up. Xia Chui Xue casually replied, “Right now, I just want to do a good job with work.”

"Ms. Xia is right, we women can also be financially independent, there's no need to rely on those nasty men, and besides, those managers are a bit like frogs wanting to eat swan meat..."

A few women were flattering their boss. Xia Chui Xue wasn't interested in their conversation. Suddenly, a colleague from the secretary's office cried out in surprise.

"Oh, I see. The president also said he'd be coming today."

Ding—

Just then, the elevator doors opened.

Two of the ad group's colleagues stepped out of the elevator on the 42nd floor, leaving behind a female secretary and Xia Chuixue.

"Is the President coming in to work late again today" she asked casually.

Yes.

"Is it because of the company project"

"I guess not, I'm not sure either."

Xia Chui Xue holds a lot of sway at &am;am;, everyone is too busy pleasing her to have time for anything else. The little secretary, trying her best, told her, "It's probably personal, but we wouldn't dare ask about the president's business."

In fact, most people in the company, especially those in the secretary's office, know very well what Xia Chuixue's feelings are for their president.

The Secretary's Office is full of beautiful women, each with intelligence and charm. Many of these beauties harbor some admiration or even desire for their CEO, but the truth is, very few women get close to him. Xia, the head supervisor, is a special case.

A small secretary, facing questioning from a high-level figure like Xia Chuixue, should truthfully answer. However, this question is rather inappropriate.

Although a newcomer, he knows the boundaries, especially with someone as hard to please as their president. When it comes to anything private, he doesn't dare say much.

Xia Chui Xue reacted and realized she had been out of line. She smiled kindly at the junior clerk.

Yesterday when I was having dinner at Jun's place, I heard the driver say that the president has been driving himself lately. When the chairman asked me, I wasn't too sure. I think people in your secretary's office should know something...

Xia Chui Xue's words were casual, and she specifically mentioned going to the Jun family for a meal, including how Mr. Jun had personally asked about it, seeming like just simple curiosity.

The elevator stopped with a ding at the 68th floor.

The two walked out side by side.

The secretary didn't think much of it and told her directly, "We don't really know where the president goes after work, but he has been going to the garage to get his car by himself recently."

"He added jokingly, 'Last week, the second young master of the Pei family happened to arrive just as we were leaving work. But the president said he didn't have time to see him, so he left through a back entrance. Our president seems reluctant to be disturbed during his private time.'"

...does not want to be disturbed during his private time.

Xia Chui Xue's footsteps paused, her face a mixture of complex emotions.

Junzhi's shepherd hasn't been back to Jun's family for a while. Although he said before that he had amnesia and forgot some things, he has become colder towards his family and friends. But where does he live now

Jun Zhi Mu's private assets are numerous, making them quite difficult to investigate. Moreover, he dislikes interference from others.

Because it was Saturday, even though some employees came in to work overtime, it looked relatively quiet. She hesitated, looking at the office door of the president in front of her.

Since the head secretary wasn't at work, there was naturally no need for any reports.

Xia Chuixue pushed the door open. To be honest, she hadn't thought much about it; she just suddenly felt like seeing him, that's all.

But as soon as she went in, she realized that Junzhi Mu was not there.

The vast office was deserted. The cold, hard décor reflected his style of doing things—straightforward and efficient. She turned to leave, but as she did, she noticed a document on the bookshelf to her right had slipped and was about to fall.

People who focus on intense work often have some obsessive-compulsive tendencies. She walked over and casually straightened it.

Whoa!

"Who is so interested in my private life"

And just then, the heavy oak doors of the president's office were flung open with a bang, followed by a cold and sharp question.

The footsteps that entered were too heavy, too full of rage.

Xia Chuixue almost instinctively crouched down, then hid behind the massive desk.

She knew better than anyone how much Jun Zhimu resented outsiders interfering in his privacy. If he found out she had barged into his office, it would only push him further away from her in the future.

Xia Chuixue didn't know who Jun Zhimu was talking to on the phone, but his tone was obviously impatient, "The disk hasn't been found yet!"

"Are you telling me the disc just vanished, or did you not even try..."

Plate

What kind of disc.

Xia Chui Xue quickly ran through the recent major projects in her mind, but none of them matched.

"The medical staff have all gone missing, so I don't think it's necessary..."

His voice grew colder and colder as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The person on the other end of the phone must have reported something to him, because he suddenly flew into a rage and smashed an antique vase onto the ground with a crash. Shards of porcelain went flying everywhere.

Xia Chui Xue's heart skipped a beat, and then she heard his voice filled with righteous anger.

"The disk definitely didn't get to Tang Yu's hands. You expand your search target. If you still can't find it before the New Year, then you disappear with this disk!"

...disk.

The lord's herdsman is looking for the platter.

Summer's whole brain felt foggy. Her stiff body stayed frozen behind the large desk, not daring to move, until her legs went numb, and until the man had left. After a long time, she slowly stood up.

Her breathing slowed, but it was held back, very rapid.

Her heart was racing, causing her face to flush and pale alternately.

"Ms. Xia, you haven't gone back yet" A sudden voice from behind startled her. Xia Chuixue stiffened her neck and turned around. It was the little secretary from before.

"I'm leaving now." She spoke, her voice stiff with suppressed emotion.

The secretary didn't ask any further questions. After tidying up her files a little, she was about to head back.

But, seeing Xia Chui Xue's hurried back, she felt a little suspicious in her heart.

This weekend's overtime is all voluntary, and since today is Christmas Eve, everyone only worked a morning shift and has basically left. However, Xia the supervisor looks really strange.st felt moved right there."qiao Bao'er was in a good mood, her pretty face broke into a smile. The old man knew she had caused trouble at the Pei family and didn't blame her, he even scolded her third...
