But apparently, this normal situation didn't apply to Naruto as he just started working since yesterday yet the amount work he had surpa.s.sed other colleague that had been work longer than him. Bitterly looked at the stack of papers on his desk, making Naruto wanted to cry but had no tears. If this was his past self, probably he would just shrug it off and dive immediately.

His coworkers looked at him with pity in their eyes, they felt this new person is not quite so lucky for angering their chief on his first day of work. Zhao Hongyan absentmindedly looked at the piling paper on Naruto's desk and muttered, "Wow, Naruto, you really succeed in making Chief Mo has a personal vendetta against you"

Naruto glared at her and Sarcastically said, "Wow sister Hongyan, thank you for clarifying it for me, I had no idea!"

Zhao Hongyan giggled, "Alright, it best for you just work what you can and apologize to her later, I don't think Chief Mo actually expected you to get all the work done."

Naruto sighed, "Yeah, I probably just do that."

"Good luck, Naruto," Zhao Hongyan encouragingly said.

Time slowly got closer to lunch break, even with previous bitter and helpless feeling, Naruto still worked honestly. Many finished paperwork and report start to heap up while the unfinished one diminished. Eventually, by the time for lunch break, more than half already done and Naruto didn't even look like tired at all.

All the girl in the room once again stared in daze at him, need to be reminded, that Naruto's work papers was actually many than several of them combined together. It is not they all lazy but since PR work was mostly done in verbal communication, they rarely had to work that many papers. Even if they did, there was no need to finish them in a hurry since a deadline for reporting their progress is not short.

Finally, lunch's break came. This time Naruto didn't reject Zhao Hongyan and other invitation and merrily walked together to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was on the 15th-level and occupied the entire floor. The decoration of the floor was delightful and clean, most of the color that dominating this room was red which is many people say can raise your appet.i.te.

They swiped their IDs at the counter and strolled toward where the food tray is. The food and beverage workers wore clean and white work clothing and welcomed everybody with smiles.

The food variant could be said many, there were several appetizers such as dumpling and fruits. Noodle, rice, fried chicken, and others as the main dish. Last, they served puddings as a dessert.

Of course, every person portion was limited since there are more than 200 workers in the headquarters, but it still enough to fill their stomach.

"So, Naruto tell me, what is your first thought when you enter a workforce department filled with women ?" Liu Mingyu Inquired after they all find their table and sat together.

Naruto picked his appetizer which is an orange and started eating before he laughed softly and repliesd," I thought, wow I'm the most handsome here!"

"Of course you are! There are no other men there!" Zhang Cai laughed.

Zhao Hongyan giggled as she teased, "Well you also don't have any compet.i.tors when you picking up girls!"

"Please, Sister Hongyan, I'm an upright and honorable man, beside, I already said that I'm married." Naruto righteously said.

"Yes, yes you are. But..." Zhao Hongyan suddenly s.h.i.+fted her seat and sat closer to Naruto, she threw a flirtatious look and said, "are you sure that you would be able to stop yourself from making an attempt toward another girl?"

Her perfume which was smell like raspberry and apple blossom entered Naruto's nose while her phoenix-like eyes gazing hotly at Naruto, Naruto felt like he just being electrified and couldn't help but swallowed his throat upon being provoked like this.

Liu Mingyu giggled and said, "Hongyan, you shouldn't tease him like this, what if he gets trouble later?"

Zhao Hongyan laughed as she returned to her original position, "Hehe sorry, I couldn't help but teasing him when he acted like that," then she looked at Liu Mingyu and looked back at Naruto, as if there was a light bulb on the top of her head, she stared at them with bright eyes, "I know! Mingyu why don't you try hanging out with Naruto? after all, you still unmarried and single, I think you two can make a great couple."

Liu Mingyu startled, she pretended to be angry, "Hongyan, what are you saying? Do you want me to become his mistress?" but then she threw seductive view to Naruto, "on the second thought, I don't think I mind so long brother Naruto think he can support my living expenses."

Not only get electrified, Naruto also got struck by thunder now. He gazed at fiery Zhao Hongyan and seductive Liu Mingyu, Naruto lips became dry no matter how much he licked it.

"You both are really merciless, look at him, sweating all over." Zhang Cai who just silently eating her food Sympathetically said. But before Naruto managed to convey his grat.i.tude, she said, "Don't mind these two Naruto, if you think you are in need for comforting," she bent over the table, the deep crevice between two plump mountain behind the collar of her s.h.i.+rt suddenly became visible, she added with amorous tone. "Just call me..."

Now Naruto officially became dried wood as he left speechless and just gloomily eating his foods. The trio laughed at him before they apologized and continued eating their foods.

At this moment, from the entrance of cafeteria, a line of people entered the room. Suddenly the entire workers quickly stood up and greeted those people with respect. It is not hard to figure it out who are they.

"Oh, the meeting has ended, the CEO and department heads have come" Zhang Cai cried out in alarm, and stood up like other workers.

Lin Ruoxi standing at the front of the line, her hair tied up in a bun, she only wore a little cosmetics yet she already appeared outstanding and overshadowing the rest of the women on the line.

Mo Qianni also one of the women on the line, and she looked like quite gloomy right now. The trio including Naruto seemed to notice their chief distressed mood, then the trio at the same time looked at Naruto with a suspicious expression.

Naruto who felt the gaze suddenly let out a cold sweat, he refuted, " It is not me, I swear! We not even met this morning!"

Hearing Naruto's words, the ladies instead letting him off, they became more suspicious, the expression 'I-don't-believe-you' written all over their forehead.

Naruto can only sighed and decided just to ignore it, reasoning with women was hard.

Shortly, Lin Ruoxi line finally pa.s.sed by Naruto's table and the Trio, when her eyes recognized Naruto, Lin Ruoxi look startled a little bit before she suddenly let out a faint smile and gave a small nod toward them. Then her line quickly went to the executive dining section which was separated from the public section with an expensive looking gla.s.s.

"Did-did the CEO just nod to us?!" Zhang Cai exclaimed

"I thought she did since there is no other behind us," Liu Mingyu confirmed

"Oh my G.o.d! Is that a sign that our pay grade is gonna get raised?!" Zhao Hongyan beamed.

Naruto looked at the unbelievable expression of his coworkers with funny thought, What if I tell them that she nods toward them because of me? Naruto shook his head, decided that it would be better not to tell, they wouldn't believe him anyway.

Finished their lunch, Naruto, and the Trio backed to their own desk to get prepare working again. Liu Mingyu and Zhang Cai desk were in a different direction from Naruto and Zhao Hongyan so they had to go on their separate way.

Before they could get comfortable in their seat, the door to the office open, revealing a gloomy and distress Mo Qianni. The other worker slowly making a distance from her, fear if something mishap happens. The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and the temperature went down. Only after Mo Qianni entered her room that the workers dared to talk again, whispered can be heard from anywhere.

"What happen ?"

"Must be about that again..."

"Yes, yes definitely!"

Naruto looked around before he asked the woman closest to him, "Em, Sister Hongyan, what are they talking about? What is this 'that' they mention?"

Zhao Hongyan sighed before explained to Naruto in a helpless expression, "You see Naruto, by this point you should get the picture regarding how our department work right?" Naruto nodded as Zhao Hongyan continued, "Since one of the description of our job was to maintain a relations.h.i.+p with our customer, one of them include collecting debt from other companies. Most of the companies didn't dare not to pay because it will smear their name and they also bound by the law. While other companies..." Zhao Hongyan shook her head, "they didn't care so much about reputation, so they didn't pay any of debt they owe us, they even dare to hurt anyone that comes to collect it, since none of us know how to fight and Chief Mo fear we all get hurt, so we have to ask help other departments, sadly, this people also didn't give us any result, instead they came back with injuries and miserable state."

Naruto knitted his brow, he asked, "Why not just report this to the police?"

"Then what? The debt still not paid even we throw them to the jail, this people is similar to bandits and I'm pretty sure they fit themselves nicely inside the prison," Zhao Hongyan twitched her lips.

Naruto became quiet as he seemed like think of something, next, he stood up and left his desk, "Naruto where are you going?!" Zhao Hongyan startled.

"Collecting the debt," he lazily said as he walked toward Mo Qianni's room.

Mo Qianni let out a depressed sigh as she read a file report, it had been three attemption for her to retrieve the money debt yet all of them resulted in failure, first time trying end up being one of the females harsly chased away, the second attempt, with a help from someone in other departments, ended up in a failure aswell, the person came back with a horrible state because of being beaten up, and the last one... even more worst, the man claimed that he was a black belt in taekwondo, but came back with a broken bone and superficial wounds.

she was in a serious lamented mood when suddenly a knocking sound came from her door. She tidied herself and acted like nothing happen, putting a little smile on her face, she said, "Please come in."

At the moment someone who knocked the door enter, her smile got stiff. An awkward atmosphere covered both people in the room, for Mo Qianni, this person was the least she wanted to see right now. But since she was his superior, no matter what circ.u.mstance, so long they were at work, she had to act professionally. With a deadpan expression, she said: " Can I help you?"

Naruto frowned as he thought, Still angry huh? Come on get over it soon.

Naruto shrugged and without beat around the bush, he said, "Chief Mo, I'm going to collect the debt right now, please grant me the necessary stuff and their company address."

Mo Qianni startled, a spark of life ignited within her eyes, with slightly excited voice, she asked, "Do you know martial arts ?"

Naruto scratched his cheek, "Eem, no. I don't."

Mo Qianni expression beaome gloomy again, with a cold tone, she said, "Please don't make a joke regarding this, remember that you still in a trial period, if you make any unlikeable and bad behavior, no matter how much talented you are I will not hesitate to terminate our contract and fire you away!" then with downcast expression she added, "if this is all, then you can go back to your desk!"

Naruto also put up a serious expression, "Chief Mo, I'm not joking, although I don't know any martial arts, I still can throw a punch or kick, please just give a chance to prove it you."

Mo Qianni sneered as she thought, even people with a black belt still fail and got hurt in the end, what someone like you can do? but since Naruto was insisting on this matter, she decided to send him there, hoping that he will get scared and learn not to mess with his superior.

"Fine, I'll drive you there, but I'm warning you, this is your own choice so the company will not give you any compensation if you receive any sort of injuries."

Naruto nodded, "Got it! But Chief Mo, you don't have to drive me there personally, just give me the address, I'll find my way around."

Mo Qianni waved her hand, "Whatever, I will prepare the necessary doc.u.ments, you can wait outside."

Naruto turned around and started walking, but before he exited the room, he faced her again and bent his body 90 degree, he sincerely said, "Chief mo, I'm sorry for what I have done yesterday, had I known your circ.u.mstances, I would let you enter the room first, please let this a.s.signment be my way to make an amend to you." Then without waiting for Mo Qianni's response, he walked outside.

Mo Qianni startled from his sudden apologizes, remembering his warm bosom and manly aura, she blushed before unintentionally breezed out a sigh, rubbing her own temple she mumbled, "If you act like this, who can stay angry with you?"

The hustle and bustle of the city described how busy was Zhong Hai city in the afternoon. The street full of ongoing car and people as they buzzing from whatever activities they did. Naruto's leaning on the seat inside a red Audi A4, his eyes gazed at the s.h.i.+fting scenery beyond the car's window, didn't know why he liked to see the view from car windows or any scene while he inside a moving object. A constant changed of scenes making him feels like seeing the whole world that he lived in. He could see a lot of people or any kind of structures, if he got lucky, he could get a view of a natural environment.

Naruto took back his eyes and glances at the driver seat, he smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Mo, I already said that I'm ok on my own, you don't have to bother yourself by driving me there."

"We are already on the road, why are you still haggle over it?" Mo Qianni grumbled, her face frowning in a cute way.

"Could it be, that you worried about me?" Naruto teased.

"Who-who worried about you, humph, I don't care if anything happens to you, besides, you are my subordinate, I'm your chief, in sense, you are my responsibility," Mo Qianni denied, but there's a tint of red on her cheeks.

"But you don't have to drove it by yourself," Naruto said while shaking his head.

"Silence! Do you have any problem with that?!" she turned facing Naruto and glared at him.

Naruto abruptly raised his hands and waved them, "Nope, nope! Fine by me!" He threw his face at the other way and mumbled "tsundere".

"What did you say?" Mo Qianni raised her eyebrows, she unable to get a clear hearing since he talked in a low voice.

Naruto faced her back, a faint smile pulled the corner of his lips, "I said Chief Mo is an exceptional leader."

"Oh, thank you, I didn't do anything special," Mo Qianni bashfully responded, her nose turned a little higher.

'Wow, she is easy,' Naruto sweat drop at his chief behavior.

Then both of them became silent, as the car drove into the destination.
