The Cage Of The Past

"Rouzhen! Drive carefully!" Zion also came out and took his shoulders with concern.

Rouzhen's thoughts were pulled back and he was stunned. What happened to him? When did he become so sentimental? He did not speak, just a slight nod.

Xiaoxi Chen sent her son early in the morning, then took the box to GU Corp. but she did not go upstairs, she's waiting for the arrival of Rouzhen at the door of the building.

She wants to return the box to him.

Rouzhen stopped the car and looked cold in the direction of the building. Far way, Xiaoxi saw his tall figure, only feeling strange and familiar, taking a deep breath, she walked over. "Sir CEO!" she called him.

A slight glimpse, Rouzhen raised his eyes, then locked the face of Xiaoxi who is now appearing in front of him. He looked down at the box in her hand, looking straight in her eyes again, did not speak, stares at her for a few seconds, he didn't wait for Xiaoxi to open her mouth. He walked sideways as if he didn't know her.

"Sir, please return this to your son!" He is passing by, Xiaoxi hurriedly opened her mouth.

His body stiff and they are at the door of the building, attracting a lot of attention from the employees who are coming in.

She turned, and her face was pale and she passed the box, but he didn't pick it up.

"We will never take back the things we sent out, don't you like it? Then throw it into the trash can!" His eyes turned from her to the box in front of him.

"That's all your business sir, I don't want to owe people anything!" After Xiaoxi sighed, he still stuffed the box into his hand and turned her back to walk out.

He didn't look at it, walked to the trash can and threw it into the trash can on the side of the building.

"You…" Xiaoxi was stabbed by his arrogant attitude and stopped.

Rouzhen stared at her sharply, faintly said, "Woman, don't want to be too casual. Would you like to continue to come back to work today? Xiaoxi, I am sorry, this hope has made you shattered!"

"What?" She was wrong, feeling like she was being humiliated, and she rushed to the top of her head.

"You are a very thoughtful woman, but still I have seen through it! You want to work back again!" Rouzhen said this sarcasm.

Xiaoxi clenched her fist and said softly. "The heart was full of arrogance and it match with your dark attitude, not working around you, honestly I feel very lucky!"

She sighed with anger, smiled slightly, turned and left. He was shocked by her answer and he stopped talking. He felt insulted by her words. Early in the morning, his mood was destroyed by her last words.

The door of his office was closed, and no one dared to step forward after he came in. Rouzhen had never come out since he entered the office this morning.

In his office, the smoke is lingering in the surroundings.

The smoke coming from the cigarette in the hands of Rouzhen unknowingly burned down. He feels a sudden hot after a while, only to find that the cigarette had burned out. He has been like this since morning. Xiaoxi's words echoed in his mind several times and his heart was in pain. The woman he used to love is now leaving him. He had driven her away after he learned the truth.

On the table, the box has been smashed back: "She does not want this gift, damn woman, this gift I gave her was very memorable to me, why did she refuse me again?"

When Xiaoxi left, Rouzhen looked at her unrequited back and stepped away, which was even more depressed. This was a silk scarf he selected, which was he think matched to her skin. He didn't expect she will give it back. "Xiaoxi Chen, you're a cruel woman, how could you hurt me this way?"

He stood up and open the drawer, another box was there, he picked it up, that was the lighter she gave him, it was the first time he had received a gift from her. He kept it properly and cherish it.

Rouzhen put the two boxes together, took out the silver lighter from the other box, and dumped it into the trash can near his table. He was so mad and he doesn't want to see things that remind him of her.

When Zion walked into his office, he found that Rouzhen was in a bad mood today. Looking at the smoke in the room and walked towards the window to open it. "Want to commit suicide, don't let others become a second-hand smoker!" What happened to you? You're destroying your health,"

"Does anyone care if I got sick? He asked and his voice was so lonely.

"Your son needs you, and this company. Aren't its enough reason to take care of your health?" Zion said

Rouzhen did not speak after along time. "The project that I handed to you, do it!" Rouzhen looked up, his slender fingers holding the cigarette become tighter. "The issue with the game is I don't want to see that child and Xiaoxi again but continue developing it, I wanted to see progress on it!"

"Are you changing your mind?" Zion asked

"It's a private matter! Do what I said! He glanced at him seriously

"Rou Rou, then can I ask you what made you change your mind?" It was very unlikely of him to ask Rouzhen that kind of question out of curiosity.

"Go out!" Rouzhen said quietly.

Zion knew it was Xiaoxi is the reason behind it. He senses that Rouzhen likes her so much. He still can visit Xiaoxi and the little genius, he will probably inform her secretly. Zion laughed suddenly as he thought about it. "Okay, don't worry, this game I guarantee is packed into the best product of the year."

"With you! I know it will happen," Rouzhen wrinkled his forehead, both eyes look deep.

"Is it still possible to let Chao design a new game package?" asked Zion. He will not give up any chance to help the two people who become close to him.

"Everything you think that fit on it do it, it's your task!" Rouzhen stood up. "After our meeting, this afternoon be here again, I will discuss something to you!"

He picked up the suit on the sofa and strode out.

In the coffee shop.

Sitting next to the window are two beautiful women. Xiaoxi and Chaoxing decided to meet each other.

She wore a plain t-shirt that matches her glamorous beauty. Her sweet image makes someone attention entangled. Chaoxing is sitting opposite to her with a sėxy hugging dressed. Suddenly Xiaoxi said: "I was fired!"

"Come again? What are you talking about? You're fired? Why?" Chaoxing shocked reaction can't be hidden, and her red lips pouted quickly. "Didn't you know that thousands of people wanting to get into GU Corp as it said to be the best company! And here you are telling me that you were fired!"

"Honestly, I don't know the reason, I met a mad boss who is unreasonable and used to bully me all the time!" Xiaoxi said, she still doesn't know why she was fired by him.

"Is Rouzhen a crazy person? He doesn't know how efficient you are at work?" Chaoxing raised her eyebrows. "Is he not a popular and legendary lover for all women? I didn't hear that he had a mental problem?"

"Forget it, don't mention him! Chaoxing, last time I borrowed you the money and this includes the house rent!" Xiaoxi handed the envelope over.

"Hey, why are you so polite with me?" Chaoxing frowned. "I don't need the money now, just use it, for now, find another job that will offer you a big salary and once you save more, you can pay me gradually. This time, keep this money, you will probably need this!" she said

Slightly touched and she smiles, Xiaoxi said: "This is just a small amount, accept it! Otherwise, I and Chao immediately move out if you refused!"

"Okay, you win! I can't let you move out. I will accept this!" Chaoxing was afraid that she does that. This girl has always been strong, she knows. "But I am so worried you can't find a job immediately, what should you do? Don't hesitate to ask for my help again!"

"I am getting ready to find a job!" Xiaoxi took a deep breath. "I am confident enough, I could find soon. Anyways, I have been into different jobs before for years while studying. Every job is not long but I think it is my advantage to have more experience as a worker,"

"It is better to go to my brother's restaurant. Your ability is excellent. His restaurant needs an ȧssistant who is responsible for the arrangement of the catering services he offered to his clients. You can do it, the task is to pick up the phone and be responsible for the overall coordination in a certain celebration as per client demand. This is a good job for you, just like a secretary!"

"Forget it, I will find another job myself!" She doesn't want to trouble Chaoxing again.

"Don't worry my brother is looking for someone to fit for the job, he is not at ease with others!" Chaoxing said, then he called her brother.

"No, Chaoxing, let me go, I will find another job today!"

"Oh, don't worry! He said yes, and told me to bring you there today!" Chaoxing excitedly saying it and took her hand immediately.

When they arrive at Weicheng restaurant, they saw him squatting at the right corner. Weicheng saw them coming in, he walked towards them and let them sit for a while. "Well, Xiaoxi you came at the right timing, I'm in a need of new employee now. It's an ȧssistant manager who can handle my catering services. Come to work tomorrow morning! Let me tell you what exactly you will gonna do!"

Just like that, she got a job with the help of her best friend again.

Rarely they have an opportunity to stroll around. Chaoxing invited her to go malling after they left as her brother's restaurant. They spend the remaining time outside leisurely.

Walking around, suddenly saw the big TV Screen on the street, playing the news about GU Corp. and Rouzhen's face appeared on the screen in front of them, Xiaoxi's face went away, and she slammed hard. Underneath, from then on, she could no longer be bullied by him. She finally had left that company.

However, suddenly, Mr. Fox had appeared in her mind, thinking that person, Xiaoxi's heart feels sadness. When will he able to let her see her son? Why is it so hard to see her precious son?

Just entering the alley, Xiaoxi squinted her eyes, only to see the man who stopped at the roadside and got out of his car.

"Brother Zion!"

"Xiaoxi, good news, the CEO said that he wants to continue to develop your son's game. He didn't know why but looking at her tired face and frowning eyebrows, she still hasn't lost her natural grace. Temperament, but still with a smile on it.

"Isn't it stopped?" Xiaoxi was shocked and calmed down.

"He told me today to continue developing it!" Zion said truthfully, and then raised an eyebrow: "Can I go to your house for a cup of tea?"

After he said, he had walked in the direction of her home. Didn't allow her to refuse.

"Oh… good!" Xiaoxi glanced and shocked. What with that madman? Changing his mind suddenly? She thought into her mind. She then followed Zion going to her house.

Looking up and seeing the back of this man, it looks tired. "Brother Zion, you are looking so tired!"

"Don't mention it, Rouzhen might just have some personal problems and everyone has been affected, nobody knows what is going on, no matter what he told me, let me deal with it. Lately, I am so exhausted. I was even more tired thinking why he suddenly kicked you out. Xiaoxi, since you left, the office looks like a funeral home, every day. It was gloomy!" Zion said.

"Hey!" Xiaoxi Chen shook her head with a funny smile, "Do not mention him. Brother here's your tea!"

"You know what when you leave, I haven't drink any good coffee or tea anymore, those people who were left at the company are good for nothing and I told myself it's better to be quieter than to speak a lot. So, I've decided to come to your home today!"

Xiaoxi's mouth can't help but outline a touch of curvature. It is so exaggerated.

Once Zion saw her, he immediately said, "You don't believe it?"

"No, brother Zion, about that game, I don't want Chao to continue. Please tell the CEO. We don't want him to develop it anymore! If he said it, I don't want him to back out with the previous decision he made!" Xiaoxi said it very light, in tone. There is no slight resentment at all.

"Don't!, Xiaoxi, this is a good opportunity!"

"Chao is still a child, I don't want him to focus on it!"

"But your son is really a genius!" Zion suddenly thought of the last night. "Right, last night, our company's network was attacked by hackers. For a short period of time, all the computers were being infected by a virus and Rouzhen's name spread with a piece of stool. He said that the hacker is your son!"

"Ah!" Xiaoxi was shocked. "How can it be?"

She knew that she had been in front of the computer for a long time last night, but she did not expect her son to do it. " How does the CEO know that it is my son?"

"He said intuition!"

"Hey, that's purely an accuse!" Xiaoxi said. "No evidence?"

"Yeah, I don't believe it too much!" She shook her head. "You must know that Jonathan, a computer engineering experts had a master's degree. He is the most well-known personality when it comes to software development. Chao is only five years old. How could he break his firewall? It must be a wrong accusation and mistaken guess.

"I will ask him tomorrow!" Xiaoxi began to follow strangely. Is it her son who did it? Xiaoxi began to regret that Chaoxing taught Chao about computer knowledge. But Chaoxing is a computer expert too. How can Chao learn so fast? No, she has to call and ask Chaoxing if Chao could really attack other people's firewalls.

"What about the game? Zion asked.

"Brother Zion, I will not agree. Next week Chao wants to change school and escape into the primary level. I respect his opinion and allow him to jump into a higher level. When he goes to primary school his study will be very tiring. I don't want him to miss school activities for the game," Xiaoxi didn't want to deal with Rouzhen anymore. Who knows when he made a strange decision, which made it difficult to understand.

"I think the CEO would feel bad hearing your decision!"

"Well, just say that!"

At Weicheng Restaurant.

Xiaoxi looked at the creative signboard when she arrived. She felt better while waiting for Weicheng. Today is her first day at work.

At the restaurant office after a couple of minutes.

"Weicheng, I can now work, I got all the details you've taught me!" She's in a professional suit, Xiaoxi appeared in front of him with a high spirit and smiling softly.

"Well, Great, Xiaoxi, this weekend we need to pick up a menu for a family banquet. On Saturday night, there will be three chefs going to the customer's home with the dining car to cook for that banquet. Your mission is to go there, talk to the housekeeper about the dishes, write down their requirements and then give it to our chef!"

"Do I need to go there today?" Xiaoxi asked.
