Chapter 626: 626: Life Is Too Difficult
That’s when Adrian Zhekova said, “When you guys go back, I’ll edit the photos, choose the best-looking one and send it to each other. Report my good news to all our colleagues in the company.”
Everyone hurriedly agreed, “Don’t worry, CEO, we’ll do it well.”
When they finally reached the floor of their department, their colleagues hurried out of the elevator as if they were fleeing for their lives.
At first, Adrian Zhekova had dared to claim to be her fiancé when he was still single, which had tormented them for a long time.
Now that they were married, they couldn’t stand it anymore.
At least for the next month, they’d have to listen to Adrian Zhekova talking about his marriage.
It was too terrifying.
Why was it so difficult to work at Pingla?
They usually had to deal with their superiors’ strict demands, as well as Adrian Zhekova’s brainwashing attacks.
“Remember, make sure every colleague who didn’t get on this elevator sees it,” Adrian Zhekova instructed again.
The crowd repeatedly promised that they would complete the task and quickly left.
At first, when Cindy Clarke appeared at Adrian Zhekova’s side, they weren’t even boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
Everyone was still curious about Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova’s relationship, and they wanted to gossip about it.
But now, they were totally not in the mood for gossip.
Just pass a message saying the scumbag CEO got married and be done with it.
Poor Pingla Group employees, from Monday to Friday, had to listen to Adrian Zhekova’s nagging.
Usually, in the company, whoever encountered Adrian Zhekova had to listen to his nagging about his marriage and take a look at his marriage certificate.
During these five days, Adrian Zhekova never took his private elevator.
He was always sharing the elevator with the employees.
Employees said they didn’t want Adrian Zhekova to share their joy.
Finally, it was Friday, the last day of work this week.
In the coming weekend, they could relax and wouldn’t have to run into Adrian Zhekova anymore.
But in the afternoon, each department received a cake from the cake shop.
Before people had time to see how the cake looked, they received a group email notification from Sheldon Rowland.
“To celebrate CEO’s marriage, CEO himself wants everyone to share his joy. So, out of his own pocket, he ordered a cake for each department as an afternoon snack. Please enjoy it.”
Everyone suddenly had a bad premonition.
When they opened the cake box and took a look, their eyes went black.
The cakes were all in the shape of marriage certificates!
Now, the cake-making technology is so advanced that it can be lifelike and almost real.
The cake in front of them was exactly the marriage certificate of Adrian Zhekova that they had seen every day for the last five days.
Now, every employee who saw this little red book was about to vomit.
Married people said that they would lock up their little red books at home and never look at them again.
Unmarried people said they had no plans to get married in the next few years.
They had no idea that they had been dreaming about Adrian Zhekova showing them his marriage certificate every night and threatening to fire them if they didn’t look at it.
Life was too hard.
Billy Houston also heard about it from Mr. Olsen.
Mr. Olsen, in order to vent his frustrations from the past few days, told Billy Houston everything that had happened at Pingla Group in detail.
He didn’t leave out a single detail.
As a result, although Billy Houston hadn’t experienced this firsthand at Pingla Group, he could feel the hardship of the people at Pingla through Mr. Olsen’s description.
Actually, when Adrian Zhekova cleared his throat, Billy Houston didn’t want to join the conversation at all.
But he also knew that what would come would come, and he would have to face it sooner or later.
Better a short pain than a long one.
He quickly cooperated with Adrian Zhekova.
Hearing Billy Houston’s cooperation question, Adrian Zhekova straightened his suit.
He pulled a marriage certificate from his pocket with a flick of his hand.
Cindy Clarke: “…”
Why did this man carry a marriage certificate with him?
On Charlotte York’s wedding day, it was understandable that they carried the marriage certificate with them when they went to get it.
But it had been five days, so why was Adrian Zhekova still carrying it?
She had clearly seen Adrian Zhekova lock the marriage certificate in the safe before. When did he take it out?
Even Cindy Clarke was shocked. What exactly was this man’s operation?
Cindy Clarke felt very embarrassed, and her face turned red.
Billy Houston pretended to be shocked when he learned that Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke were married: “CEO, you’re married!”
The contestants: “…”
President Houston, that expression is too exaggerated.
Adrian Zhekova coughed again, raised his hand with the palm down, and made a pressing gesture in the air.
“I just completed an important life event. Don’t be too shocked, everyone. Let’s keep it low-key.” Adrian Zhekova said.
Everyone: “…”
They hadn’t said anything yet, and they were being pretty low-key.
It’s just not clear whether or not Adrian Zhekova knows the meaning of the word low-key since everything he’s doing now, as well as the expression on his face, has nothing to do with it.
Yellen Brooks gave them face and was the first to say, “Cindy Clarke, congratulations.”
Others also congratulated them.
Adrian Zhekova nodded with satisfaction and said, “Everyone, rest assured, even though Cindy Clarke and I are married, I won’t interfere with the competition results. Whoever is supposed to win will win. You don’t have to worry about that. Just participate in the competition normally.”
“Before, Cindy Clarke kept our relationship a secret because she was afraid that the contestants would think too much. But now, with you guys left, you don’t care about these things, so I can say it with confidence.”
Wesley Gordon also said, “Everyone, please rest assured. As judges, we will score fairly and won’t be biased. The scores will be what they should be, and there won’t be different treatments because of family background.”
“Moreover, since the beginning of the auditions, there have been people who have tried to take shortcuts. Some rely on their background, and some on connections, all wanting to get at least an audition advancement quota.”
“But we didn’t agree to any of them. I can’t prove to you the fairness of this competition because it’s ultimately up to our human scoring. But I can guarantee that we are truly conscientious in the evaluation of the competition.”
“Teacher, we believe in you,” Parker Honi said first.
Aiden Huxley said this idiot has confidence like no one else has, always full of confidence no matter what.
But they did believe in the judges and in Cindy Clarke’s character.
“Alright, everyone get ready. We’re going on stage soon,” Michael Greene said.
Adrian Zhekova turned to Cindy Clarke and said, “Then I’ll take Morgan back to the stands. Call me if you need anything.”
