"So?" Mo Qianni said in a long tone.

"Um... in my defense... I kind of forgot to mention it with you..." Naruto rubbed the back of his head and awkwardly laughed.

"Good reason, but not enough defense~" her forefinger tapped on the blue desk.

"Can I say that your beauty had taken my memories away the first time I saw you this morning?" Naruto smiled slowly digress.

"Oh, thank you, you are a sweet~" looking at her genuine smile, Naruto exhaled a mouthful of air, almost.

"But that still not going to safe you~"

Naruto shook his head, with a lamented face, he said sorrowfully, "Fine, chief Mo, I have no excuse about my mistake, punish me as you see fit." Then he declined his face, looking at the brown carpet in the room.

For quite some times his ears had been devoid from the response of the cute chief ahead, but soon he heard a single giggle breeze through.

"What punishment you dolt, you just made a great contribution and you expected me to punish you instead?" Mo Qianni held her lips with the back of her hand, her body trembled at ticklish feeling inside her heart.

Naruto twitched his lips, another case where this chief of him really like to play with her subordinate. Not only it was annoying, but it started to get really old. But in the end, she had the authority one whole above him, so he couldn't really do a thing about it.

Also he didn't think that the human resource will accept such complaint, well, maybe, but they certainly wouldn't do anything.

"OK, OK, I am sorry, I didn't mean to cause you a distress, it just so fun to see you get all grumpy..." she ceased her laugh and calmed herself, smiling brightly toward the blonde man, "forgive me, key?"

Naruto startled and looked to the side, a blush appeared on his face as he scratched his own cheek, d.a.m.n why his chief has to be this cute?! Freaking unfair as he unable to stay mad at her!

"Yes, chief Mo, it's nothing to fuss over, anyway..." Naruto returned his bearing and faced her with a normal visage.

Mo Qianni nodded, "At any rate, you have done well in creating a connection with Liu Corporation, even manage to include us in their big charity event. It's a fortunate news as a relation with giant company like that could boost Yu Lei's reputation and promote our upcoming exhibition, therefore what you did is a great merit!"

Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows a little bit, he remembered saying to Mingyu that he had a friend in Liu Corporation and coincidentally asking him to join the event. It basically not his doing effort why his company could get a chance like this, but he a.s.sumed perhaps the purple-orange streak haired woman told Mo Qianni otherwise, "Thank you chief Mo, it just luck."

"Well, I need to thank your luck, because it is superb, so far from the moment our president make her stance in the company, we never had the connection with such giant before, we did have a lot of other companies to make up for it, but still... nothing ever compare to Liu Corporation!" Mo Qianni said, her eyes lit with everlasting excitement.

"Really? Never?" Naruto looked taken aback.

"Un!" she nodded, then she shook her head, "of course it's not because our CEO or any of us is incapable, but you know the temperament of those giant corporation, what they want is to monopolize many categories of market in the world and the raise of Yu Lei under Lin Ruoxi's hand brought many threat to these people, I believe Liu Corporation thought about the same thing.

It's a rare occurrence of any companies to ever invite such a potential growing company like ours to a beneficial event like charity, because even thought they hosted the event, there is a chance of the said company could out s.h.i.+ne the host, even if it is not, it still hold great effect in a long term if it is done properly.

That's why I am surprise when hearing this from Liu Mingyu, since I know her track record is good, there is no chance that she was lying, thus I asked it to you for confirmation."

Naruto never thought that Yu Lei's growth in Ruoxi's leaders.h.i.+p was this exponential, he knew she was fierce but after hearing it directly from Mo Qianni, he still had underestimated Ruoxi in certain degree.

But when he thought about it again, why she had so much trouble in dealing the likes of Xu Zhihong till she needed required his help?

Is Xu Zhihong actually hard to deal or Ruoxi has something else in her mind?

"So what do you want as reward?" Mo Qianni said gently.

Naruto dispersed his thought and concentrated his vision again to the cutie in front, he crossed his arms and pondered deeply, "Well, I have not a lot of things that I particularly interested."

"Then it should be easy!" she beamed up a smile and nodded, "what is it? Oh, raise in payment is excluded since you will automatically gained it, is the result of your achievement.

You can ask for more leave, normally you could only have three days, five if its under special circ.u.mstances such as mourning from the loses, within a half of year but I can grant you for more three days, of course weekends and holidays did not count.

You can have extended time to arrive to the office, but I can only grant you fifteen minutes more.

So what is it?"

Naruto slid his lips to the side as he thought deeply, he looked at the charming and cute face of Mo Qianni, he smirked with a flavor of tease, "Chief Mo, I can have anything I want as reward, right?"

"Of course, so long it's reasonable and within my capability, I grant you any wishes," Mo Qianni said without any suspicion in her tone.

"Then..." Naruto had a bashful face, his cheek turned red for some reason, "can you grant me... your lips?"

"Eh?" the beautiful chief wrinkled her eyebrows and her eyes became confuse, "what do you mean?"

"I want to... kiss you..."

*Boom!*

Her mind instantly blow up in one giant explosion, it shattered the consciousness into billion pieces as her expression went daze. She froze on her seat, un.o.bstructed and unmovable by anything.

Naruto snickered inside his heart, Humph, trying to play with me before, let's see how I play with you.

But seeing Mo Qianni had been in a long time don't yield any response, in fact she was as if turned to human sized statue, Naruto let out a long sigh, oh how come when he want to have fun, things become like this?

He was expecting she turned shy or at least flushed with anger, started throwing a tantrum about his shameless behavior. Then he could say he just joking and used the reward she offered to make her forgive him. It's not that he wanted to waste such a perfect chance to have extra leave or other things, but he just didn't have any interest in the first place. Might as well use it to troll with his supervisor, it's a rare chance anyway.

But if she had no response like this, he didn't know what to do.

"Chief Mo, I-"

"Fine."

Before Naruto managed to finish his sentence, the statue like Mo Qianni finally spoke once more. But her reaction was far from what he pictured.

Her expression was serious, those eyes held no playful manner and the corner of her lips crooked upward a bit.

It's not cold like response, but mild acceptance.

"If that's what you want, then I give it to you..." Mo Qianni said in a gentle tone.

Naruto swallowed his throat, looking at her lips that was glossed by the enchanting red lipstick, he was a foolish if he didn't get attracted. If he was a man with a d.i.c.k as his brain, he probably went silly already.

"Ch-chief Mo, I was just kidding... you don't have to comply," Naruto forced a smile, a cold sweat dropped from his temple.

Mo Qianni stood from her chair, she minced at Naruto's direction, her eyes stared deeply at his, "Are you sure? Don't you had the desire of me? If you really want, I'll give it to you, it just a kiss anyway, it's not like I am no longer a virgin after that..."

Naruto took a step back, looking at her slender figure that wrapped in black office suit including that long black stocking, he had a great temptation to come along, but he still had the conscience of their different of status, and how she is his superior.

As a man who once part of chain of command, Naruto held a tremendous respect for it, because how can someone lead a group, much less a nation, if he couldn't obey the law and regulation that had been made.

For example, you made a jury to decide someone's faulty with the fact that had been provided, so even if you are a president, you cannot decide someone's guilty because you not the jury, and you don't have the stuff to prove their guiltiness.

Once you decided to force your way through it, only chaos that followed soon.

"Chief Mo, I am sorry, I shouldn't use such a joke to tempt you, I know my place, I like to change my wish..." Naruto straightened his back and said with servitude.

Mo Qianni arrived several inches before she stopped her steps, the smile on her face never falter, "Don't you found me attractive?"

Naruto shook his head, "No, you are very attractive. One of the rarest beautiful woman I ever met."

"Then why do you want to change your wish? I really don't mind you know..." she curled her lips, "I am not a teenage girl who went crazy for their first kiss, I also not so much about being conservative, I know what lies behind business world, I know sometimes we must make compromise, if I even couldn't do this, then how I suppose to carry one?"

"..." Naruto declined his face, his expression was unable to be discern, "Chief Mo, you are lying..."

"Hm?" she wrinkled her eyebrows, her face filled with slight anger, "how come you say that?"

"Because your smile... is the brightest one that I have ever seen..."

Yes, even Ruoxi, or Rose, not even Mingyu couldn't compare with it, only her, Jeanne could compete.

"My... smile?" she blinked her eyes.

"Yes," Naruto lifted his face, as she looked at his expression, it was strong with confidence, filled with unyielding faith. Mo Qianni now turned absentminded once again.

"Someone with that kind of smile, it's impossible to have such impure thought. Even when she knew the reality behind this world, she will strove against it and in the end, prevail as the winner," Naruto grew a smile, his iris blurred with distant image, "in the front of cruelness, you might cry, in the front of tyranny, you might fear, but you never lost the hope, you never compromise for the wicked, because you had the belief, you trust your own view of the worlds."

"That's why, your smile is so bright."

Both person went silent, Naruto mind had returned to the present, once again seeing the cutie before him who closed her eyes and grasped her own elbow. After a while, she opened her eyelids, then there it was... the smile... the smile she beamed up that hold no corruption, clear as the sky of the day.

"Smart mouth, you certainly know how to flatter someone," she laughed cheerfully, clearly please at his previous words.

Naruto shrugged, didn't say anything more. Soon they talked about the charity event detail, and she also knew that Mingyu had began to form a team to going there, and she recommended Naruto as the team leader which Mo Qianni had no problem against it. Since Liu Corporation only allowed four people to go, that means Mingyu needed to pick the best people, most likely she will go to other department to recruit people, Mo Qianni had directed her to go to Logistic. Mo Qianni told Naruto to contact the people in Research and Development team, specifically the design people to make a proper attribute attire. Since the consumption had been handled by the other company, they have one less thing to worry about. Under the direction of Mo Qianni, Naruto finally set with all the things he needed to prepare. These several days before departure will be the heck of busy times for him.

(***)

The sun had set down, departing from this side of the world and appeared at the far away side,

As what Mo Qianni promise before, the PR's workers went to have dinner together to celebrate Naruto's recovery. The place she picked for the feast was surprisingly a normal looking dining place. With white wall and unique wall paper painted it, this place rather cozy and fitting for any cla.s.s of civilian. There was this one line on the wall that managed to make him smirk:

"Let us cultivate the culture of laziness in cooking, because in truth, it's our job to fill your stomach!"

The moment Mo Qianni and the sisters went in the dining place, the staff inside as if already knew them. They greeted politely and directed us to the arrangement table. Whether it was readied before hand or Mo Qianni had contacted them was unknown.

Despite the place that looked normal, but the foods indeed fantastic, not in the rareness of the dish or how expensive it was, but the taste and uniqueness was superb. There were this dish of meatb.a.l.l.s that was filled with chili, all of its inside are only bitter hot chili, but the sisters seemed like it very much. The meatb.a.l.l.s appearance made Naruto remembered Ruoxi, and he pondered if she had eat anything or not. Of course, there was no feast without beer, in fact the quant.i.ty of beer out size the quant.i.ty of foods. Despite he dislike toward it, he didn't have any mortal hatred on it that he swore will eradicate any beer from the world, but the feeling of unable to get drunk somehow giving him the envied sense to other people.

Even Mingyu had slightly became drunk, and she yet to stop to drink. She glanced to Naruto and winked before she took another drink.

Oh this seductress...

Naruto bitterly shook his head, he knew that she was free to worry from getting drunk because she wanted him to take her home, maybe had the intention to hold him captive for the night.

"Fuaahahaha!"

Naruto twitched his ears at the annoying laughter that came from his right, several chairs from his spot, Zhang Cai was standing upright, her hands hold a cup of beer and she laughed without shame.

"This sister is full of might, no one can defeat her in drinking contest!"

Beside her chair, a sister had laid her cheek on the dining table, her eyes practically turned into a whirlpool as she unable to content against the heroine.

Zhao Hongyan could only palm her face and sighed at her behavior, the heroine seemed really can hold on her liquor as she had defeated two sister, and now she looked for another prey.

Naruto leaned his cheek on his palm and smiled at her att.i.tude, remembering her bad complexity at the morning, he was gratified that she can be carefree like that, but he knew it won't be persist for so long.

There will be another day that she would come with such condition again, and if it kept continuing, it just a matter of time before she succ.u.mb into tiredness and fell sick. Weak body and exhausted mental could be the origin of many type of sickness, which both could be trivial and crucial.

How he should help her?

How we should help her?

That's the two things that kept bothering his mind as he witness she beat up another sister in drinking contest, Naruto was totally surprise at her durability in drinking alcohol. Even when this was her third fight, she just look barely drunk.

After thinking for a while, a wicked smile pulled the corner of his lips, Naruto texted Mingyu and Zhao Hongyan, then he stood up from his chair, "Sister Cai!"

"Hm? What?" the shoulder length haired woman sent her violet like eyes toward him.

Naruto grabbed the cup on his table and raised it to the air, "Let's duel."
