Chapter 279 The Unexpected Encounter With Charlie

"I know what you're thinking. But as far as I know, the Wan Group don't pay much attention to the education degree. In fact, many employees of this company have been hired by other companies with high salary. They may not be highly educated, but they are really capable. It's true that the education is more important than that of a common graduate from a university, "

"Well..." Joanna contemplated for a while and continued, "I know. I will work hard with them. Don't worry about me. You told me that Louis would soon come to China. You need to arrange well for him. When we were in the business trip in America, he always takes care of us. You should do what a good host should do. "

"You don't need to worry about that. I am also a sophisticate business man. Of course I know how to arrange a great reception. "

"It's good that you know that. I have to go now. Everyone is waiting for me."

"Wait!" Just as Joanna was about to hang up the phone, she was interrupted by Wilson who said, "come back early tonight. I will make you something delicious to celebrate your first day of work."

"Uh, that..." Joanna pinched herself. She almost forgot about it and promised a dinner party with her colleagues tonight. "I won't have dinner with you tonight..."

"Won't you come back for dinner?" Before Joanna could finish her words, Wilson screamed at her. She quietly put the phone a little far away from her ear, while Wilson said, "Come on! Your department leader is such a jerk. How could she ask you to work overtime on your first day of work? You are not fully recovered yet. You can't work so hard. And... "

"Wait a minute. Could you please hold on before I finish?" Joanna touched her forehead and interrupted the bluffing voice of Wilson. "I'm not working overtime. I'm having a dinner with my

colleagues. They told me that I just came here today and there's a welcome party I can't refuse, so That is why I can't go back for dinner. Remember to have dinner on time tonight. "

"Well, then, don't be too late. Remember not to drink. You are not fully recovered. If you have any problem, just call me. I will pick you up at the spot. Remember to text me the gathering place. I can go to you if there is anything happen. "

Wilson knew the company culture of the Wan Group. Joanna got along well with others, which meant she could get help from her colleagues when she worked in the following days. Therefore, Wilson would not care about such trifles as it was company social stuff.

"And, when the location is decided, I will send you a message. Bye. Love you. "

As soon as Joanna hung up the phone and was about to go back, she was stunned when she turned around and met someone unexpected for her.

"Miss Joanna, it's been a long time."

Looking at the man in front of her, Joanna thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Charlie?"

"It's my honor that you still remember my name. I thought you didn't know me." Charlie looked at Joanna with a smile.

"Mr. Charlie, you must be joking. We have met several times, but it is not that hard for me to tell your name." As she was not familiar with Charlie, she didn't plan to have further communication with him. When she was about to pass by Charlie, she was stopped.

Glancing at Charlie, Joanna didn't know what he meant. "What do you mean, Mr. Charlie?"

"I want to have a talk with you, Miss Joanna. I haven't seen you for a long time since we met last time." Charlie looked at Joanna with an unreadable smile, which made her shiver.

In fact, Joanna wanted to refuse him directly, but considering that he had a good relationship with Helen, it would be inappropriate if she refused him too obviously.

"We are not that close, are we?" Joanna hesitated. She didn't know how to refuse others, but she disliked the way Lionel Charlie at her.

"Yes, we didn't have much contact in the past, but we will meet each other in the future. Now that we work in the same department, we will have more chances to meet each other in the following days in work."

"What do you mean?" Joanna didn't get his point.

"We are now colleagues. I work in the executive department as well. I'm only two weeks older than you."

In fact, Charlie didn't tell the truth. He came here because he knew that Joanna would work in this department. On the one hand, Charlie had nothing to do at home, so he might as well come here to get familiar with the operation of a company. On the other hand, if Joanna would work here, it meant that there would be more chances for him to get along with Joanna and the chance to win her heart would naturally increase. So that was the true intention of Charlie.

"Why are you working here?"

But it didn't make sense to Joanna. After all, Charlie had his own family business. Besides, his family was so rich and he was used to the life as a rich boy of his family. How could he care about the mingy salary as an ordinary employee? Why did he come to the Wan Group to work? to observe and learn from real life?

"Why can't I work here? I went through the employment process. I was a top student in a prestigious university. What's wrong with it? "

Joanna didn't say anything. It seemed that he was right.

"Everyone is waiting for me. I have to go now."

"Let's do it together." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Before Joanna refused, Charlie went directly to the canteen with her. And Joanna did not refuse and went straight back with him. The colleagues not only saw Joanna, but also saw Charlie behind her.

"Let's have lunch now, Joanna. You can take a break later because you have a lot of work this afternoon," Sherry beckoned Joanna to sit down and have lunch. Wang, who was standing beside, said to Charlie, "Charlie, come and sit with us."

Charlie didn't refuse him and sat down next to him. Even though Charlie had only stayed here for two weeks, he got along well with the other members.

Then Joanna continued eating her food, quietly listening to the people's discussion, trying to ignore the intense gaze from Charlie. She really didn't understand what was in his mind.

After the lunch, Charlie proposed to have a drink together, but Joanna intended to ask Sherry about some work matters thus she refused.

"Well, what do you want to know?" Sherry said.

Joanna scratched her head. She had nothing to ask, so what should she say?

"It's not a big deal. But you know I'm new here and don't know much about the Department. Can you introduce me something about the work stuff in the department?"

Sherry understood at once and began to talk.
