His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 18 - FIRST AND LAST WARNING



When Zhong Feng returned, he found a bizarre scene of a woman sleeping in the most peculiar way. Her head was tilted over the back edge of the couch, and her feet were dangling from the bottom. Her right hand still held her pen loosely while resting on the arm. The strangest thing was the paper on her face.

It looked like she had gotten comfortable in his absence.

He looked at the coffee table and found a small neat pile of papers. For a moment, he thought that she had not started on the work. However, he found that the top paper was neatly filled out. He checked the next paper and the following and found that they were all completed.

He called Assistant Chen in and presented the pile of papers. The young assistant looked at the sleeping figure with darkened eyes before walking out of the office to grade the work. Normally, he did not conduct such menial tasks.

However, he did not want to delegate the task and end up with some nasty surprises. If the results were as poor as he expected, it would bring some negative attention, and bad news always spread fast in the office. He did not wish for people to question the president's judgement.

Thirty minutes later, Assistant Chen knocked on the door and entered with a strange look on his face.

"Are you waiting for an engraved invitation to speak?" Zhong Feng spoke coldly.

Assistant Chen knew that his boss valued efficiency and directness.

"The results are unbelievable. Miss Hu scored incredibly well on both the marketing and technical tests, excluding the paper which was absent from the pile."

"Both? Why did she have both?" Zhong Feng inquired taciturnly.

Assistant Chen wanted to say it had been a mistake, though it hadn't. However, he did not dare. Admitting a mistake would imply that he was not qualified to assist the company president. Simply speaking, it was not an option for a man in his position.

"I included the simple evaluation test given to technicians wishing to join Etude Technologies. I was curious and wanted to ensure that she would not be a liability." He replied directly.

The truth was he wanted to make things a little harder for her. He did not want to allow a weak team member beside his boss.

Zhong Feng looked at his assistant with freezing eyes. His displeasure was evident. Though he was liking the feeling of playing with Hu Lei and seeing the pitiful look on her face when he made things difficult, he felt suffocated by the thought of another person doing the same to her.

"This shall be your first and last warning." He spoke dismissing him.

Assistant Chen bowed before placing the papers on the desk and walking out.

Zhong Feng perused through the tests with interest. Her multiple choice questions were all correct. Chen had left some of the open answers unmarked. Zhong Feng read the answers and could not help suppress a small genuine smile.

When he had had his assistant call in Hu Lei, he had not been in an irresolvable situation. Naturally, he had numerous options for dealing with the interpretation concerns. He had been uncertain about choosing Hu Lei. Though he had some interest in her, he had not been certain about fulfilling his father's request.

Then, his father had called to inquire about his friend's daughter. It was then that the events of the past had been revealed. His eyes drifted to the girl on the couch and became deeper. He did not consider himself to be a good man. However, he had been raised to never forget goodwill extended to him and his family.

The good deeds of the Hus could not be forgotten. He had engraved the words his father had spoken in his heart. He could not do much for a smart lady like Hu Lei. But he could watch over her in Supreme City. In fact, he intended to bind her to him and protect her. And he knew the perfect way to keep her close. His small smile widened with a wicked edge.
