Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Didn’t You Say You’ve Seen It Before?

"Don’t be nervous," Zhou Shuyan said casually as he nodded to Hou Xiaohai.

Hou Xiaohai: "..."

How could he not be nervous!

Zhou Shuyan walked slowly to the elevator used by senior management and pressed the up button.

When the elevator doors opened, Zhou Shuyan stepped inside.

Only after the elevator doors closed did the employees gathered in front of the standard elevator dare to breathe a sigh of relief, and they all turned to look at Hou Xiaohai.

Some recognized Hou Xiaohai, others didn’t, but seeing his employee badge, they knew who he was and which department he belonged to.

"You’ve got some guts, daring to pursue the CEO’s wife!" one person exclaimed in shock.

Hou Xiaohai almost wanted to kneel, "No, I didn’t know she was the CEO’s wife!"

Hou Xiaohai explained, "It was just yesterday morning when I went out to take out the trash and I saw a girl from the opposite door doing the same. She was really beautiful. To be honest, I had never seen such a beautiful girl before."

"I didn’t even hope that she would take a fancy to me, just wanted to have a little chat with a beauty. There’s no harm in knowing a beauty," Hou Xiaohai nearly cried, "Besides, we live opposite each other, it’s just about helping each other out occasionally. Who knows, maybe after some time she might actually take a fancy to me?"

"If I remember correctly, you live in our company’s apartments, right?" someone asked.

"Yes, yes, so I thought she was a new employee at our company. Even if we couldn’t date, being friends would be good," Hou Xiaohai mumbled, "Who wouldn’t want to see a beauty every day to please the eye?"

"Eh? Is the CEO’s wife really one of our company’s employees?"

"Damn, which employee climbed up the ranks?"

"Didn’t you hear Hou Xiaohai say he didn’t know her? Perhaps she was the CEO’s wife first and then joined our company."

"That makes sense, maybe the CEO’s wife was just bored and wanted to experience working at the company?"

"No, no," Hou Xiaohai quickly clarified, "She said she isn’t from our company. Our company apartments are also rented out to outsiders, right? I thought she worked at some nearby company and rented an apartment from us. I was about to ask her more, but then the CEO came out from the opposite apartment."

Hou Xiaohai recalled the incident from yesterday morning and was speechless.

Why was he so unlucky!

Just when he finally met a beautiful neighbor, thinking he had struck lucky, the CEO came out from the opposite door.

Hou Xiaohai felt so aggrieved; he sniffled and said sadly, "At the time... now that I think about it, the CEO looked jealous. He even called me Xiao Zhang and pushed me back into my apartment, not letting me talk to his wife anymore."

"I didn’t expect the CEO to be so jealous."

"Oh my, the CEO’s dominant CEO persona is unshakable!" a female employee couldn’t help but gossip.

"What must she look like to have the CEO cherish her so!" someone wondered curiously.

"Well, it’s understandable for the CEO to be mad at you."

"Stop saying that, the boss is magnanimous; surely, he wouldn’t blame someone as clueless as me."

"Right, you didn’t know before. The words the CEO just said to you were probably his way of explaining it to you; don’t be nervous."

"Exactly, the CEO has a lot on his plate; he doesn’t have time to worry about minor employee matters. Don’t be nervous."

"If you really can’t rest easy, go secretly ask Assistant Yu to give you an idea of what the CEO is thinking; he would definitely know."

"That’s the most sensible thing you’ve said!" Hou Xiaohai’s eyes lit up, suddenly feeling like there was hope for him again.

At that moment, the elevator arrived, and as everyone entered, someone curiously asked, "But why does the CEO live in our Chengzhou Apartments?"

The environment of Chengzhou Apartments was admittedly nice, and only Chengzhou provided such good apartments.

Chengzhou’s benefits and work environment were famously good in the industry.

But there was no need for Zhou Shuyan to live in an employee apartment.

They even wondered, was the area of the employee apartments bigger than his home bathroom?

"I don’t know," Hou Xiaohai, still worried about his job and future, wasn’t in the mood to gossip with his colleagues and casually said, "Maybe it’s just a little quirk between husband and wife."

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, everyone in the elevator called out in unison, "President Zhou."

Hou Xiaohai, who was disheartened, perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly looked up to see Zhou Xueyi unexpectedly entering the elevator as well.

Hou Xiaohai: "!!!"

It wasn’t even his zodiac year, why was he so unlucky?

Zhou Xueyi had been transferred by Zhou Shuyan to the newly established supervision team, and to save face for Zhou Xueyi, his position was not just a team leader or manager, but the general manager of the supervision team.

It was a position specially prepared for him.

Of course, Zhou Shuyan officially claimed it was to preserve Zhou Xueyi’s dignity, but actually, the company employees were discussing how shameful it was for Zhou Xueyi.

He had lost his former position and had been demoted to the supervision team, especially given a general manager role to indulge him.

This was more humiliating than being fired outright.

However, Zhou Xueyi was still the CEO’s uncle, so nobody dared to offend him.

Zhou Xueyi also had access to the senior management elevator; it was unclear why he would ride in the same elevator as the ordinary employees today.

What was wrong today?

Zhou Xueyi’s smile stiffened a bit when he heard this greeting.

Every time someone addressed him this way, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

And now, an entire elevator of people was calling him that...

Zhou Xueyi clenched his teeth in anger, all because of Zhou Shuyan!

Suppressing his displeasure, Zhou Xueyi turned to Hou Xiaohai, "I heard you just now; you’ve met the CEO’s wife?"

At the moment, Hou Xiaohai was still concerned about how to get the CEO to forgive him and reflexively asked, "President Zhou, haven’t you met her? She’s your niece-in-law."

After all, they were family, yet he came to ask this employee?

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

Which incompetent brat from which department is this!

Zhou Xueyi then went to look at Hou Xiaohai’s employee badge.

But Hou Xiaohai had already become wise, and as soon as he entered the elevator, he had tucked his badge into the gap between the front buttons of his shirt.

Zhou Xueyi was left looking in vain.

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

Zhou Xueyi’s assistant, Cao Zhijie, hurriedly said, "President Zhou didn’t say he hadn’t met her; he was just making casual conversation with you."

Hou Xiaohai realized his mistake and quickly said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize what I was saying. President Zhou, I’m a bit slow, please don’t take it personally."

Zhou Xueyi still had to portray a kind and benevolent persona, and he chuckled, "It’s my fault for not asking clearly. I have of course met her, just asking casually."

Hou Xiaohai nodded quickly, "The CEO’s wife is extremely beautiful."

"Hehe, so you’re saying the CEO and his wife are staying at Chengzhou Apartments?" Zhou Xueyi pondered, wondering what Zhou Shuyan was up to.
