Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Catching a Cold
As soon as night fell, snowflakes were dancing in the air, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. Yu Sha stood in front of the window, lost in thought while looking at the snowflakes. She wondered if it was snowing in Taiwan. What were her parents doing? Was her brother still working? She really missed them. Actually, there was another little-known secret for her leaving Taiwan. The vocal cord cells that enabled her to speak could only function until she was twenty-four years old, and this year she had just turned twenty-four. She wanted to see if she could survive after losing her ability to speak. Turning around, she sat back on the bed, and her eyes fell on the electric guitar beside the bed. She hadn't touched it for a long time. She wasn't sure if she could still play it. She remembered that she and Yingmei had once taught classes in the school's instrument class. But now... She picked up the electric guitar and unconsciously started playing it by pressing the familiar keys. One tune after another, and scenes emerged in her mind. Perhaps she wouldn't have the chance to sing or play it again in the future. She didn't know when she fell asleep, but she knew that it was the first time she had been late in half a year. Fortunately, the managing director hadn't called her. Maybe he hadn't come yet. Recently, he had been coming a bit later than usual. He must have been staying at home to accompany his elder brother. Unexpectedly, the bond between the two brothers was quite deep. Strange. Why was her head hurting so much? Her mind was groggy, and her nose was stuffy. She must have caught a cold because she went to bed too late last night and didn't cover herself with a quilt! She remembered that there seemed to be some cold medicine at home. "Special Assistant Jin, is the managing director in?" "The managing director hasn't come yet. What's the matter?" Yu Sha looked up at Yi Wei, who was holding a stack of planning cases, and raised her eyebrows to ask. "Are you not feeling well? Do you have a cold?" He frowned and walked forward. Yu Sha shook her head. "It's nothing. Maybe I just caught a chill. Are these the planning cases that need the managing director's signature?" She pointed at the planning cases in his hand. "Yes. These are the planning cases for the celebration the day after tomorrow. The managing director asked for them yesterday." He handed the planning cases to her. Yu Sha sat down and thought he had left, so she didn't look up again. "Have you taken any medicine?" Huh? What? Yu Sha looked up and saw that he was still there. "I! Oh, not yet. I'll take it after work." Yi Wei was about to turn around when he happened to see the managing director getting out of the elevator. Beside him was the long-absent president, still with that haughty and overbearing attitude that made people tremble. "Yi Wei, have you brought the planning cases?" Hearing 'Yi Wei', Quan Zhengxun turned to look at him and nodded. He was indeed quite handsome. Then he looked at Yu Sha beside him. Thinking that they might have been flirting with each other just now, he felt unhappy and the sky seemed to turn gloomy all of a sudden. What was this guy doing here instead of working properly? "I just came to deliver the planning cases. President, long time no see." Yu Sha quickly stood up when she saw them approaching. "Managing Director, President. Good morning." Quan Zhengxun nodded and walked alone to the largest president's office at the front of the corridor. "Let's talk inside. Special Assistant Jin, go and make a cup of coffee for the president and send it to him." "Okay." Looking at the closed office door, Yu Sha sighed and took out the coffee from the drawer. To be honest, she didn't really want to see him. She couldn't say why, but she just didn't want to see him. However, an order was hard to disobey. Three minutes later, she stood at the door of the president's office, knocked on the door and waited for a response. "Come in." Quan Zhengxun had his back to her, looking out at the view from a hundred meters high. Yu Sha put the coffee on the table. "President, is there anything else you'd like to instruct?" Only then did he turn around when he heard her voice. Hearing her heavy nasal voice, he frowned unhappily. "You've caught a cold?" Huh? Yu Sha didn't react for a moment. "I'm okay. If there's nothing else to instruct, I'll go back first." She was still trying to be tough even though she had a cold. She was really stubborn. "I've already talked to the managing director. Starting from today, you'll be transferred to be my assistant, and your salary will be tripled." What? Yu Sha stared at him in surprise. "What? But there's no one to take over my work from the managing director's side---" "I've already transferred Liu Shanmei there. Pack your things and come here quickly. I have work for you." He had already arranged all these when he was at home. Yu Sha didn't say anything more and turned around to leave. This man was really strange. Behind his always smiling face was an air of dominance that made people unable to resist. It was so scary. When she walked out of the president's office, she saw Shanmei with a wrinkled face like a crumpled piece of paper. Yu Sha didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Actually, as long as you manage your time well, working beside the managing director is quite good. At least your salary will be twice as high as before. Don't you always hope for a salary increase? Work hard. If you don't understand anything, come to me." Before leaving, she patted Shanmei on the shoulder and gave her an encouraging look. It was the first time that Shanmei felt that she was friendly. "I'll work hard. You're so lucky to work beside our smiling prince. I'm really envious of you." "Really? I'm going now." Yu Sha walked forward with a box in her arms. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to be the president's assistant. "Achoo! Achoo!" It was like this on the first day. The days ahead must be tough. After Yi Wei came out of the office, he saw Shanmei sitting outside the door and frowned in puzzlement. "Shanmei, why are you here? Where's Yu Sha?" Shanmei pointed to the room at the front. "She's been transferred to work beside the president." What? How could this happen? Well, it seemed that he would have to find an excuse to send materials to the president's office again in the future. Yu Sha went to the reference room to get the financial statements of Jeju Island from last month as he had instructed. Quan Zhengxun asked the security guard downstairs to buy cold medicine and send it up. When he walked to her desk, he found that there was already a pack of cold medicine, and it was of the same brand. Damn it! Who bought it? He saw a note written on the back of the package, "Yu Sha, this is a special medicine for treating colds. Get well soon. From Yi Wei." It was this Yi Wei again! Strange. When did he come? Why didn't he know? Next time, he should consider moving the assistant's desk inside too. He took away the note and medicine left by Yi Wei, left his own, turned around and went back to his office. Then he casually threw the medicine bought by Yi Wei into the trash can. When Yu Sha came back, she found the medicine on the desk. Strange. It wasn't there when she left just now. Well, never mind. She'd better sort out the materials first. She put the medicine aside and started to sort out the materials he wanted. Quan Zhengxun stared blankly at her figure outside the door, thinking of her actions on the plane, and smiled warmly. Then, thinking of Yi Wei's message just now, he felt as if he had drunk vinegar that had been aged for fifty years, and his expression became fierce. Such a woman could only be his, and must be his-----
