Lu Haochen slowly walked to the desk and sat down. He said lightly, “You should call me Mr. Lu in the future. It is not suitable for you to call me boss.”

Du Xiaoxian did not understand why it was not suitable, but she nodded, “Yes, Mr. Lu.”

Only then did Lu Haochen smile. “Come in and talk to me.”

Du Xiaoxian walked in slowly with cleaning tools in her hands. She was still at a loss. She was here to do cleaning, but Lu Haochen asked her to come in and talk to him!

“Why are you working downstairs today?”

“I got transferred.”

“You did well here. Why did they transfer you downstairs?” Lu Haochen knew that doing cleaning upstairs was easier than doing it downstairs. If someone abused his power to transfer her, Lu Haochen would like to intervene in this small matter.

Du Xiaoxian did not say anything. She just lowered her head. How should she answer this? Could she say that she was transferred because she annoyed Lu Haochen?

Seeing that she did not answer, Lu Haochen felt that there was something fishy about this and his tone became gentler. “Don’t be afraid. Just say it. Although I don’t intervene in things like this, if someone dares to play tricks in the company, I won’t sit idly by.”

When Du Xiaoxian heard this, she knew that he had a misunderstanding. She was afraid of implicating others, so she told the truth. “Because I did something wrong yesterday, I was transferred.”

When she mentioned it, Lu Haochen remembered what happened yesterday morning. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to her. But as he spoke, he forgot about that.

He didn’t expect that it was because of him that Du Xiaoxian got transferred. Rose probably thought that Du Xiaoxian annoyed him, so Rose sent her away. If he didn’t see her, he would not get annoyed. As a secretary, Rose’s arrangement was understandable. Lu Haochen just felt a little embarrassed.

He scratched the ends of his eyebrows with his little finger. “Since you mentioned it,” he said slowly. “Then let me tell you, you didn’t do anything wrong yesterday. I inexplicably lost my temper. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”

Du Xiaoxian stared at him and was dumbfounded. How did it become his fault? It was clearly her who accidentally knocked over the bucket and caused a mess. The entire Administration Department knew about it, and the manager even scolded her. How did it become Lu Haochen’s fault overnight? That bucket was clearly knocked over by her!

“You” Seeing her stunning look, Lu Haochen couldn’t help but find it funny. “Can you forgive me?”

“Of course.” Du Xiaoxian blinked and suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly changed her words. “No, I mean, Mr. Lu, you didn’t do anything wrong. I was the one who messed everything up. I was the one who knocked over the bucket. It was all my fault.”

“Alright, forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Lu Haochen smiled and said, “Do what you need to do.”

“Yes, Mr. Lu.” Du Xiaoxian also reflected on herself yesterday. She felt that she made a mistake because she was not focused. But In fact, she had always been very focused when she was working. Sometimes, she was so focused that she even didn’t hear someone calling her. As long as she was focused, she would not be disturbed by the outside world. She had always done this very well.

Lu Haochen felt bored when he was sitting there. He could not stare at her as he did yesterday, lest Du Xiaoxian was frightened again. He opened the drawer and took out a detective book. When he was young, he wanted to be a police officer. Later, his family did not allow him to apply for any police academy. Then he planned to open a detective agency in the future. Until now, this wish had not been fulfilled. But his interest in detective work had not decreased. So when he was free, he would read a detective novel as a pastime.

The room was very quiet. One was reading a book while the other was doing cleaning. Occasionally, Lu Haochen made a sound as he flipped through the book. Occasionally, Du Xiaoxian also made sounds as she wrung the mop. However, they didn’t disturb each other.

Once Du Xiaoxian became focused, she only concentrated on the work in her hands. However, even she herself did not know that when she became focused, her expression was attractive. Her timid expression was gone, as well as the nervousness in her eyes. Her facial features were relaxed, and there was a kind of brilliance on her face. It was very vivid. Especially, her eyes were as bright as stars, making people unable to move their sight away.

No matter how wonderful the book was, he couldn’t concentrate on it. At some point in time, the book had been casually placed on the table by him. Lu Haochen leaned back in his chair and stared at her. Most of the time, he could only see her profile. Her thin body bent, revealing a thin white neck. Her black hair hung down on the two sides of her white neck, making the contrast of the colors sharper. She lowered her eyes. Her long and dense eyelashes covered her eyes like the wings of a butterfly. When they moved occasionally, rays of flickering light would come out from the gaps, making people unable to help but want to look inside and explore.

Lu Haochen suddenly felt his tongue going dry. He picked up the teacup and drank some water. But the tea was already cold. The cold water went straight into his stomach, making his entrails tremble. He calmed down immediately.

He picked up the book again, but he was absent-minded. He did not flip the pages for a long time and just glanced at the lines.

Her appearance brought him a very strange and novel feeling. He had never felt this way before. He felt an inexplicable joy and also seemed to be very comfortable and peaceful. In short, he felt pleasant.

Lu Haochen was not aware of Du Xiaoxian walking to him as he was still immersed in that novel mood and was unable to extricate himself. Du Xiaoxian said, “Mr. Lu.”

Lu Haochen answered with an “ah” and looked up at her blankly. “What’s wrong?”

“I have finished my work here and will take my leave.” Du Xiaoxian said softly.

“Did you finish it in a short time? Alright, then go rest.” Lu Haochen was a little reluctant. How could time pass so quickly?

However, Du Xiaoxian did not leave. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Lu, your book is upside-down.”

“Ah? Oh,” Lu Haochen pretended to be calm as he turned the book over and said in a gentlemanly manner, “Thank you for reminding me of it.”

“You’re welcome,” He thanked her so seriously. Now Du Xiaoxian became the one who was embarrassed.

When she walked to the door with her tools and was about to pull the door open, Lu Haochen’s voice came from behind. “Starting tomorrow, you shall still do cleaning upstairs.”

Du Xiaoxian really didn’t care where she did cleaning. It was nothing else but a difference between being a little easier and a bit more tiring. As long as Lu Haochen was not angry with her, it would be her great fortune.

After saying “yes”, Du Xiaoxian left the room and breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that she would be fired yesterday. Although Miss Chen had only transferred her downstairs, and Du Huayue had told her that there should be nothing wrong, she was still worried. After all, she had annoyed the boss and left a bad impression upon him. If she made any mistake again in the future, it would be likely that she may get fired. Unexpectedly, things turned around. Lu Haochen took the initiative to apologize to her. Although he was so fierce yesterday, he was so gentle today. He was really a strange person!

Not long after she arrived at the company, Chen Liyi found out what had happened in the morning. Since the boss gave that instruction, she would not say anything and would just follow what the boss said. Rose was not surprised when she was aware of it. Moreover, it turned out that her speculation was right. Lu Haochen was angry because of something else. Du Xiaoxian miserably became his punchbag. When Lu Haochen realized that he had lost his temper, he corrected his mistake in time. The incident was that simple!

Lu Haochen was surely a good boss because he corrected his mistake immediately. Rose was just curious. Why did Lu Haochen take such a small matter to heart? Wasn’t it the same to have any other cleaner clean his office?

Then, Du Xiaoxian still did cleaning upstairs. Lu Haochen still arrived at the company half an hour earlier every day. When he arrived at the company, he always saw Du Xiaoxian doing cleaning in the office. When she saw him, she no longer looked frightened. Probably because she saw him every day, she did not feel that he was horrible!

Lu Haochen knew that she was scared that day, so he tried his best to change Du Xiaoxian’s impression of him. When they met, he always smiled. They did not interact much in the office. Occasionally, Lu Haochen would ask Du Xiaoxian to help him brew a cup of tea. Du Xiaoxian would respond softly and then walk to him to pick up the cup. After that, she would go to the low cabinet to get the tea leaves. He would always stare at her. When she was about to turn around after making the tea, he would quickly bury his head in the book and pretend to read it.

When Du Xiaoxian came over and call him, he would raise his head, put down the book, take the tea, smile at her, and thank her!

When he thanked her, Du Xiaoxian would get embarrassed. Her face would turn red, reminding him of fresh, juicy peaches in summer.

The time they spent together before work was what Lu Haochen had been looking forward to the most every day. When he woke up in the morning, he would get excited and impatient.

When he was in the car, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. Hua Zai, his driver, had seen it several times from the rear-view mirror and always felt that it was strange. Boss was not a person who liked to smile. Most of the time, he was expressionless and had a straight face. Staying with Lu Haochen every day, Hua Zai knew his private life well and hadn’t heard of any major happy events in the company. Where did his good mood come from?

However, when the boss was in a good mood, Hua Zai would be in a good mood as well. He turned on the CD player. Then, he stole a glance at Lu Haochen, who maintained that position without moving. Not only was the corners of his boss’s mouth curved upwards but also the eyes seemed to have a kind of…

Hua Zai’s heart skipped a beat… eyes full of love? His boss clearly looked like he was yearning for love. Hua Zai was shocked by this bold idea. The more he looked at his boss, the more he felt it was true. He quietly increased the sound volume a little bit. But Lu Haochen did not notice it at all. If it were in normal times, Lu Haochen would definitely complain that it was noisy. But now, his boss was clearly absent-minded. Although Lu Haochen was sitting in the car, his mind was wandering.

But Hua Zai followed Lu Haochen every day and had never seen Lu Haochen date any woman. Could it be a one-sided love? No, no. With Lu Haochen’s status, how could he be in one-sided love? Many women wanted to get close to him, but they were all mercilessly refused by him.

There was one more thing Hua Zai felt quite puzzled about. Why did the boss arrive at the company half an hour earlier every day? Were the company’s working hours going to change?

Not only Hua Zai, but the Security Department was also puzzled about this. They reported it to the Administration Department. Then the Administration Department was also puzzled and always felt that the boss was hinting at something. Since the boss had set the example, they, as subordinates, should follow the boss closely. Then, after deliberation, the Administration Department decided to adjust the work hours of the company, and wrote a lengthy report to explain why the schedule was adjusted.

The report was quickly delivered to Rose. Rose knew that Lu Haochen arrived earlier at the company every day. However, she did not expect the Administration Department to take action so quickly. So she did not dare to delay and directly submitted it to Lu Haochen. “Boss, this is just reported by the Administration Department. Please take a look.”

Lu Haochen took it and glanced at it, asking curiously, “Why do they want to adjust the work hours?”

Rose couldn’t directly say that it was because he arrived at the company half an hour earlier every day, and since he was so diligent and dedicated, they had to keep up with his pace!

However, the Administration Department’s lengthy report had an explanation. So Rose just explained according to the report, “The Administration Department thought that the dawn here arrived earlier than other places, and it’s a little late to start work at 9 o’clock in the morning. After all, a day’s plan starts in the morning. The dawn comes before 6 o’clock. So it is not proper to wait for 2 to 3 hours to start work at 9 o’clock. Moreover, people are in the best state in the morning and could do work with a higher level of efficiency. So…”

Everything she said was reasonable. But Lu Haochen threw the report into her arms and said, “Nonsense.” Then he lowered his head and handled his affairs again.

Rose knew that Lu Haochen did not agree with the report, so she did not dare to say more. She took the folder and quickly left. Since the boss did not agree, they could only give up on this matter. Everyone secretly cheered. It was good that they would keep the typical nine-to-five schedule. Only a fool would be willing to change it!
