Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Who’s in Trouble?

But a closer look would have revealed that his eyes were completely unfocused, and he hadn’t turned a page of the document in his hands for quite some time.

By the time he finally emerged from his reverie, nearly ten minutes had passed.

「The CEO’s Executive Office.」

Yun Zijin had been in Lu Yunque’s office for an hour without coming out. The expressions on each secretary’s face varied, but the one constant was their burning desire for gossip.

’That old iron tree of a boss has finally blossomed!’

But then again, thinking of Yun Zijin’s perfect, flawless face, they could understand why the CEO had been single for 30 years (he was actually 28).

’With standards that high, who else would be single if not him?’

What they didn’t know was that their CEO, strictly speaking, was still single, too.

Yun Zijin had only meant to nap for half an hour, but she’d ended up sleeping for a full hour.

After waiting in the coffee shop for two hours without Yun Zijin emerging, Zero One and his six men approached the Lu Group’s front desk.

The young woman at the front desk looked at this boy band of bodyguards, all averaging over six feet tall. Instead of swooning, she suspected her company was in trouble.

The company security guards had been tailing them closely but hadn’t dared to make a move, unsure if they were a match for them.

"P-Please... may I help you?"

’Oh my god! Who was reckless enough to provoke these guys? They looked like trained fighters.’

"We’re looking for someone."

"Who... who are you looking for? And what for?"

The young receptionist didn’t know how she’d managed to summon the courage to get a full sentence out under the intimidating glares of the seven men.

"Our Miss entered your company two hours ago and hasn’t been seen since."

The receptionist’s mind went into overdrive.

’This has nothing to do with me!’

"C-Could you tell me her name? I... I’ll look her up for you."

The young receptionist was dying inside. ’How am I supposed to know why your Miss came into our company and never came out?!’

’You’re her security, you didn’t watch her properly, and now you’re coming to me to demand her back!’

"Yun Zijin."

When Zero One said Yun Zijin’s name, the young receptionist immediately remembered.

’It was that stunningly beautiful young lady!’

"Sh-She did come in, yes. But I’m just a receptionist. She registered here to go to the top floor, but I don’t know what she was doing specifically.

Why don’t... you give her a call?"

The young receptionist was miserable, but she couldn’t show it.

"No one’s picking up."

If someone had answered the phone, they wouldn’t have come over so rashly.

The receptionist’s panic spiked.

’No one’s picking up! How could no one be picking up?! The reception in our company building is great!’

’And if that wasn’t enough, there’s free Wi-Fi throughout the whole company! Why wouldn’t she answer?!’

"Maybe her phone is on silent, and she just didn’t hear it? Who was she here to see? Did you try calling that person?"

’If you can’t reach her, you can always try calling the person she came to see.’

Zero One fell silent. They didn’t have Lu Yunque’s phone number.

"Our Miss came to see Lu Yunque, your CEO."

Lu Yunque’s identity was easy enough to look up.

"The... the CEO?"

’Since when did our CEO know such a beautiful young lady? No, that’s not right. Since when was our CEO even interested in women?’

Zero One nodded without any hesitation.

"Well... I’ll call the CEO’s office to confirm."

The young receptionist really felt like maybe she shouldn’t have come to work today. ’What kind of mess is this?’

「The CEO’s Executive Office.」

When the phone rang, someone picked it up immediately.

"Hello, Lu Group, CEO’s office."

As soon as the call was answered, the receptionist quickly explained the situation and begged the person in the CEO’s office to have Yun Zijin call her bodyguards back as soon as possible.

"What’s wrong? You look shocked."

Someone next to her noticed the strange expression on the secretary who took the call and asked out of habit.

"The front desk called. They said... Miss Yun’s bodyguards showed up because she’s been gone for a long time and isn’t answering her phone."

The secretary who took the call relayed the receptionist’s story in a single, rapid breath.

Hearing this, the other secretaries in the office looked at each other in astonishment.

’Bodyguards showing up at the door?’

’That’s not something you hear every day.’

"So... can we go in now?"

’What if... the CEO and Miss Yun are... you know...? Wouldn’t that be super awkward for us?’

"Let’s tell Assistant Mo. He’ll definitely know what to do."

Just because they didn’t know how to handle it didn’t mean Assistant Mo wouldn’t.

The others all agreed with this decision.

And so...

"I’m so sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long. Let’s head upstairs first!"

Zero One and his men recognized Mo Bin. When Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque went out together, Mo Bin would occasionally come by to deliver or pick up documents.

Compared to how they were with others, Zero One and his men’s attitude toward Mo Bin was relatively mild.

Seeing Mo Bin, the young receptionist finally breathed a sigh of relief. At last, she wasn’t the only one bearing the brunt of their intimidating presence.

"After lunch, Miss Yun and the CEO took a nap in the lounge attached to the CEO’s office. She isn’t awake yet. I apologize for making you worry."

As soon as they stepped into the elevator, Mo Bin quickly explained the situation to prevent them from causing a scene when they got to the top floor and couldn’t see her.

’Powerless office drones like them were no match for these bodyguards.’

Mo Bin led Zero One and the others to the break area in the executive office. "We’re not sure when Miss Yun will wake up, so you can wait here.

There’s a coffee machine over there, as well as some fruit, snacks, and drinks. If you want anything, please help yourselves."

These areas were mainly set up so the secretaries could have a bite to eat when they got hungry working overtime.

Zero One and his men had no interest in any of that. As long as they could confirm Yun Zijin was safe, they wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Meanwhile, Mo Bin returning to the office with seven tall, handsome young men immediately captured the attention of all the young women in the secretariat.

"Assistant Mo, who are these...?"

"Miss Yun’s... bodyguards."

’Nowadays, the only people who went around with bodyguards were either celebrities or the ultra-wealthy and powerful.’

’And Yun Zijin was clearly not a celebrity, so she had to be the latter.’

"I knew it. The person who could capture our CEO’s heart wouldn’t be some simple character."

"These bodyguards look even more professional than the CEO’s own security detail!"

’Mainly because not only did they look capable, but they were also total eye-candy!’

"Shh! Keep your voice down! You can’t just say things like that!"

’The CEO’s bodyguards might be a tiny bit less impressive than these guys, but it all depended on the comparison. Compared to anyone else, they were still definitely top-tier.’

After pouring a glass of water for Zero One and each of his men, Mo Bin entered Lu Yunque’s office.

Sensing someone enter, Lu Yunque glanced up. "Did you bring them up?"

Lu Yunque hadn’t expected Zero One and his team to show up so suddenly, let alone frighten the company’s receptionist.

Mo Bin nodded. "I had them wait in the break area in the executive office. Miss Yun’s leftover snacks are there, too."

They were mostly snacks the secretaries had pitched in.
