The female supporting role just wants to survive, but the boss insists on falling in love

In the spacious and bright long table conference room, heads of various departments took turns to switch between performance report PPTs on the presentation table. Assistant Zhou next to Tu Yan was also rapidly typing on the keyboard to record the key points of the meeting. He was already very proficient in this job.

Even so, because the meeting covered a lot of content, involving the evaluation of each department and the boss's subsequent control over the development direction, Assistant Zhou did not dare to be negligent or distracted, and the department heads on the stage were even more so.

After all, their boss has always been sharp-eyed and demanding.

But today was different. Everyone spoke one after another with a worried look on their faces, but Tu Yan's reaction was indifferent, or it would be more appropriate to say... he was absent-minded.

After the leader of the marketing department came down, Assistant Zhou looked distractedly at Tu Yan who was sitting in the main seat. As expected, Tu Yan's eyes fell on the mobile phone on the table. After the meeting, this was the fourth time he was distracted by his phone.

However, Tu Yan quickly returned his gaze to the document in his hands, flipped through two pages, and asked questions about the issues he had discovered, allowing the meeting to proceed smoothly.

This meeting lasted for three hours. When Tu Yan said the meeting was over, even Assistant Zhou couldn't help but move his sore wrists.

When he quickly packed up his things and followed Tu Yan out of the meeting room, Tu Yan tilted his head slightly. It seemed like he had something to say, so Assistant Zhou hurriedly took two steps forward and listened attentively.

"Contact Zhuang Xiao and see what her situation is." Tu Yan said in a low voice, and his tone even sounded a little uncomfortable and helpless.

Assistant Zhou had already known about the little disagreement between the boss and Zhuang Xiao from Assistant Liu, so he tactfully did not ask any further questions and just nodded in agreement.

Tu Yan then quickened his pace and strode away, his hand holding the phone tighter and tighter, with mixed feelings in his heart.

After You Junzheng left that day, Tu Yan, who was holding his anger, didn't reply to Zhuang Xiao's message for two days. At first, he secretly decided not to even look at it, but his hands and eyes were not coherent enough and he still didn't miss a single one.

Watching her sharing and sweet-talking in a bored, interesting, or pitiful manner, Tu Yan was still a little suffocated, but he also knew that he would soon calm down.

But he didn't expect that before he could react, the message from Zhuang Xiao stopped.

Tu Yan habitually turned on the screen and looked at Zhuang Xiao's last message, which was a photo of a small azalea growing crookedly between a rough and cramped stone wall. The bright red azalea flowers were adorned on the rough branches, and the curled petals were covered with crystal dew, which was gorgeous and cool.

She must be extremely talented in art. Every photo she takes exudes a vigorous and fresh vitality.

Below this message was his reply, just two simple words: "very beautiful", two days later.

No response has been received until today.

Thinking of Zhuang Xiao, and the many bizarre and complicated situations that had happened to her, Mr. Tu, who could handle any difficult situation with ease, couldn't help but press his hand between his eyebrows.

Assistant Zhou immediately did what Tu Yan ordered. After he tried to contact Zhuang Xiao but received no response, he asked Assistant Liu, Secretary Wang and others to try various methods including phone calls, text messages, and online video calls, but there was no response.

Assistant Zhou immediately realized that the situation was not good. After reporting it to Tu Yan, he felt even more nervous when he saw Tu Yan's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

After learning that he could not contact Zhuang Xiao, Tu Yan was overwhelmed by an overwhelming panic, and his first thought was that she had disappeared again.

This panic was relieved after I realized that Assistant Zhou still remembered Zhuang Xiao. What followed was worry.

After a long silence, Tu Yan finally spoke, "You go and do your work, and let Assistant Liu come in." Assistant Liu was his personal assistant and knew more about Zhuang Xiao's affairs.

Assistant Zhou nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Tu had not yet lost his mind.

But soon, he realized that this was not the case. Tu Yan's mind had been disturbed, but he still had calm instincts and high intelligence.

After asking Assistant Liu to find out where the oil painting department of W University was painting from nature, he immediately stood up and said, "Pack up and book a flight this afternoon to the southwest."

Assistant Liu was stunned. President Tu actually wanted to go find someone in person?

"Forget it, no need to pack up. Call the maintenance team and ask the tower when the plane can take off at the earliest." Tu Yan called Assistant Liu back to his senses with further arrangements. "Contact the car over there. I need to get into the mountains as soon as possible."

Assistant Liu nodded quickly and went downstairs quickly to make arrangements.

Tu Yan has already contacted several important department heads and Assistant Zhou by phone to arrange follow-up matters after his departure.

Because of Zhuang Xiao's loss of contact, his concern and worry for her have overwhelmed all his entanglements. He knows very well what he is thinking. He must immediately and immediately make sure of her safety. Only in this way can he feel at ease.

In the southwestern mountainous area, on the flat ground among the rugged valleys, groups of tents and canopies are dotted among the lush grass and trees.

As the sunlight shone through the dense forest into the valley, Zhuang Xiao emerged from a double tent and took a deep breath of the humid morning air, which was filled with the scent of grass, trees, and wet mud, and was refreshing.

After quickly washing up, Zhuang Xiao took out his mobile phone as usual. Looking at the one-bar signal and the red reminder on the WeChat interface that "Your network is not connected", he could only sigh. There was still no signal.

Zhuang Xiao was a little worried. She didn't know what was wrong with Tu Yan. He hadn't paid any attention to her for two days and she hadn't figured out what was going on yet. Now, he had completely lost contact with her.

Zhuang Xiao thought about Tu Yan's arrogant and overbearing personality. If he didn't tell him, he might think that he had a bad attitude and wanted to go into a cold war with him.

Just as she was lost in thought, someone tapped her shoulder and Zhang Jinle's vague voice came from behind her, "Still no signal?"

"I don't know when I can recover." Zhuang Xiao turned around and saw Zhang Jinle brushing his teeth.

Zhang Jinle didn't care at all. "It doesn't matter. I have food and drink, and the scenery is pleasant. There's nothing wrong with being a hermit for a while."

Zhuang Xiao nodded in agreement, but he still looked worried as he looked at his phone.

"There are dense trees in the mountains, and it has been raining recently. The air humidity is too high, which affects the signal transmission of the UHF radio. It will be fine when the weather clears up." A gentle explanation came from behind.

The two turned around and saw Zhou Shi, the monitor of the oil painting class.

"Good morning." Seeing the two people turning back, Zhou Shi's face showed a warm smile, "I was bored this morning, so I baked some bread. Do you want to try it?"

He has the melancholy and soft features unique to boys in the art department. Under his slightly long forehead hair, his pair of single-lidded eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled, like some docile and harmless little animal, with slightly pointed fangs revealed at the corners of his smiling lips.

While waiting to get the bread, Zhang Jinle covered his mouth and said quickly: "There are always beautiful women in the world. Xiaoxiao, don't hang yourself on a crooked tree. Give other wild flowers a chance~"
