Chapter 224 - His love is for real . (3)
“Boss, here’s a list of all the recent movies,” said Siyi as he respectfully handed Huo Sishen a printed-out sheet .
His boss suddenly wanted to acquire a movie theater and wanted to inspect it in person… Yeah right!
The boss wanted to go on a date with Miss Gu!
Only his boss would treat a date like it was some important meeting .
Siyi had a lot of respect for that .
Huo Sishen took the list from Siyi, glanced at it, and frowned .
Siyi gulped .
“I have included their ratings online . Anything above a 7 is pretty decent .
“A few of them were work of some well-known directors . There are also a few foreign films as well . ”
Siyi was about to turn from being an assistant to a dating consultant .
Apparently, though, his job description has yet to be approved by his boss .
“Take out the horror films . ”
“Nothing with gun fight either… distasteful . ”
Siyi was about to start sweating .
“Then we still have two left . They are rated pretty high as well . ”
Holding a pen in his hand, Huo Sishen put a big “X” behind the movie titles .
“Animation? Childish . ”
“Romance… . Stupid!”
Siyi, “……”
Nothing was good?
Should we buy the film companies too?!
Huo Sishen mulled over it for over a minute before he tapped the piece of paper with his pen .
“Go print me another one .
“And bring it back with us . ”
Siyi’s brows lifted .
Oh yeah!
Let’s have Miss Gu pick!
“Print a list of all the movies from this year . ”
Siyi, “……”
When it came to educating his wife girl at home, Huo Sishen took this matter very seriously .
Movie appreciation was a very important part of it .
It must be taken seriously .
With a solemn look, Huo Sishen said, “I am calling it a day . ”
Siyi looked at the time .
Ugh . It’s not even 5 PM yet . The boss was going to leave work early!
Before Huo Sishen left work, he glanced over at the assistant’s area outside of his office .
He then gave Siyi a chilling look .
Siyi got his meaning instantly and walked out .
He returned five minutes later .
In the assistant’s area outside, Xu Jiao the highly competent assistant was, once again, dressed up like a blooming flower and she even have bright red lipstick on today .
She was just about to go and delivery a document .
When she heard a loud scream coming from behind her .
“Have you heard? The boss of the Business Unit is diagnosed with cancer . ”
“Oh! Really?”
“It was said that he went inside of the boss’s office for ten minutes three days ago . ”
“Oh mi! Had he forgotten?”
“That’s so unfortunate . ”
“How many does that make him?”
Xu Jiao didn’t understand what they were talking about but she felt that somehow the content of the gossip was bad news to her .
She reached out her hand and asked the other assistants weakly .
“What is going on?”
The company was too big and handled many different types of work .
One assistant would not be able to handle all of the work .
Xu Jiao was a personal assistant .
She was responsible for booking plane tickets, hotels, meals, making coffees and the likes for Huo Sishen .
With the exception of Siyi, she was the one who went in and out of Huo Sishen’s office the most .
She had been there for less than a week .
And she had been inside of the boss’s office for over ten times already .
Xu Jiao’s heart started pounding .
“Didn’t they tell you when you start?” asked a bespectacled middle-aged man holding onto his beer gut .
“It was written on the new hire manual to keep your distance from the boss . ”
Xu Jiao was a little stunned .
She knew that .
“Because he is germophobic, no?”
The look on the middle-aged man suddenly turned very mysterious .
He lowered his voice and carefully glanced over at the CEO office .
“The boss, is a walking curse . ”
Xu Jiao found that ridiculous . “Eh? Brother Zhou, isn’t that just superstitious?”
“Are you not in our office’s group chat? Oh, you joined later . The formerly department head of Human Resource only said one sentence to the boss and had a stroke . He retired immediately .
“And then there was the one from the Administration Department . She shook hand with the boss and pssst… got into a car accident on her way home .
“Then there’s the girl that you are hired to replace . She was walking on flat ground when she sprained her ankle and injured her Achilles tendon . She needed surgery and can’t come back to work for three months . ”
Xu Jiao turned paler and paler as she listened . “That’s… that’s just all coincidences, right?”
“Well, you don’t have to believe me . Truth was, boss’s cursed had killed his own father and his wife . We’ve heard that most of his family members are dead . ”
Xu Jiao shuddered and the mug that she had just filled with water dropped onto the floor .
