Chapter 153 Secretly
Chapter 153 Secretly
Mo Ze's gaze swept across the crowd with indifferent eyes, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
He strode into the private room, his deep voice saying, "Sorry to keep you all waiting."
Then, led by the HR director, I walked to my seat and sat down.
After the HR director introduced Moze, the dinner officially began.
As the company leader, Mo Ze raised the first glass of wine to welcome everyone to the company.
"Make yourselves at home, there's no need to be so serious. This isn't work time."
After he said that, the private room gradually became lively, and people started talking.
The people at Shen Nian's table started whispering among themselves.
"So it's President Mo. This is the first time I've met you. You have such a powerful aura, you seem like a king's man."
"Yeah, I almost thought I wasn't breathing."
"Didn't you guys notice that President Mo is incredibly handsome too? The way he glanced at me just now, even though I was super nervous, my heart was pounding."
"Yeah, yeah, he's so handsome! Is Mr. Mo still single?"
"It seems like they're not married yet; I haven't seen any news reports about it."
"That's the most valuable single person, I think I'm interested~"
Who wouldn't be tempted?
"What, do you think we guys don't exist?" one of the men asked jokingly.
The girl who said she was attracted to him at the beginning said directly, "Let's not talk about money or looks. With legs as long as Mr. Mo's, you'll definitely find a girlfriend."
The boy scratched his head awkwardly, seemingly not angry, "How many people can be as tall as Mr. Mo?"
Mr. Mo is over 1.8 meters tall, which is quite rare in the South.
Listening to everyone's enthusiastic discussion, Shen Nian felt inexplicably guilty and lowered her head, not participating in the discussion.
Those girls who spoke so boldly all seemed to be returnees from overseas.
As expected of someone who has been educated in the West, he speaks with such confidence and boldness.
Shen Nian thought to herself silently.
Although they were just interns, tonight's dinner was indeed extremely lavish, almost at the highest standard of a five-star hotel, so everyone ate very happily and quite a lot.
The boys opened a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and the girls opened a bottle of red wine; they all started drinking.
Shen Nian was dumbfounded as she watched the other girls raise their glasses boldly and go over to toast another table.
She was stunned by his ability to drink a glass of red wine in one gulp.
Especially that bold one from earlier, she was incredibly generous, boldly offering a glass of red wine to Mo Ze, the HR director, and the heads of the other two departments. She drank several glasses of wine without her face turning red, and none of the guys could compare to her.
After drinking, everyone relaxed a bit and wasn't as reserved as they had been at the beginning.
During the first round, Shen Nian joined everyone in raising a half-glass of red wine to offer a toast. After that, she returned to her seat and quietly ate her food. It would be a waste not to eat the Australian lobster, abalone, and sea cucumber...
So while others were busy trying to build rapport with the leaders, Shen Nian quietly focused on eating. Even after several rounds of toasts from others, she remained seated and motionless.
The girl who had enthusiastically pulled her over earlier sat next to her and also went to toast her two or three times, but she didn't drink much, as she saw that Shen Nian was still eating.
"Aren't you going to offer Mr. Mo a toast? He's a big CEO who's personally come to our welcome dinner."
Shen Nian took a sip of chicken soup. "I won't go. He... looks pretty fierce... and besides, I'm not a big drinker."
She said this deliberately in a difficult tone.
The girl then stopped trying to persuade her.
Entering the workforce is quite different from being in school. The ten people sitting here are all competitors, and at most only half of the interns can be retained for permanent positions each year. Therefore, while everyone maintains a simple friendly relationship on the surface, you don't really know who is sincere.
Shen Nian doesn't try to build connections, and others won't care. Some people might even think that having a socially awkward and introverted person like Shen Nian means they have one less competitor.
However, as soon as Shen Nian finished speaking, she felt a chill run down her back.
Sure enough, when she turned around, Mo Ze was standing behind her, holding a wine glass, looking at her with a half-smile on his lips.
The girl next to her was terrified. She stood up hurriedly, bowed her head, and called out, "Mr. Mo, hello."
Then he tugged at Shen Nian and pulled her up as well.
Shen Nian was extremely embarrassed.
She didn't know when Mo Ze arrived, or if he had heard her flimsy excuse. She felt a pang of guilt...
From the moment Mo Ze stepped into the private room, she could always feel a faint gaze on her. She never responded, and even deliberately avoided looking in Mo Ze's direction, afraid of giving herself away.
Unexpectedly, he came straight over. Did he even see the WeChat message he sent?
Shen Nian also lowered her head, refusing to look at Mo Ze.
She and the other girls all had their heads down, as if they had been scolded.
Others gradually gathered around, preparing to fill their own glasses with wine.
Mr. Mo is coming to offer a toast in person, so we need to be prepared.
Mo Ze looked at Shen Nian, who was avoiding his gaze, and then thought about how this girl had just told others that he was very fierce.
Is he usually very fierce towards her?
President Mo began to reflect on himself...
When the others saw Moze staring at the two interns without saying a word, they assumed that the interns had done something wrong.
The HR director hurriedly squeezed to the front, "Mr. Mo, what's wrong?"
Mo Ze smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I'm just offering everyone a toast."
Then he raised his glass to everyone.
He stood between Shen Nian and another girl, and everyone else gathered around.
Shen Nian had just picked up her half-glass of wine and joined everyone in saying, "Thank you, President Mo."
Suddenly, someone grabbed my left hand that was hanging down.
She was startled, and her heart began to pound rapidly.
She held the wine glass to her lips and secretly glanced at the person next to her.
Mo Ze held Shen Nian's hand with one hand, gently stroking it, while holding a wine glass in the other hand and drinking. His expression was calm, and no one knew what was going on under the table.
Shen Nian gently tried to break free from his grasp.
No sooner had she escaped than Moze’s large hand grabbed her again.
She was extremely worried.
The toasting is over, but someone will notice later...
Someone walked over, and Shen Nian's heart jumped into her throat. She hurriedly squeezed Mo Ze's palm, wanting him to let go quickly.
But the people next to her seemed not to understand what she meant and continued to calmly hold onto her.
Someone approached them and was about to walk up behind them.
Shen Nian was on the verge of tears.
Just as they were about to be discovered, Mo Ze finally let go of her hand and went back to his own table.
Shen Nian sat down and, without paying attention, took a big gulp of wine from the glass in front of her.
I still feel a bit shaken.
