CHAPTER 559: CHAPTER 267 JANE QUINLAN, YOU CAN OWE THIS FAVOR.

"I wouldn’t presume to give orders, just wanted to say hello to you.

My advertising department is really busy.

Even though Jane Quinlan reports to you, she was after all brought into the company by me.

You really don’t need to manage her so strictly.

I’m still quite capable of managing my own subordinates properly.

I see her memorizing the staff rules during her spare time.

But those things are of no use at all to my advertising department.

So, I hope you won’t waste my employees’ time in the future.

With that time, it would be better if I direct it, letting her work some extra hours for me."

When Nolan Moore said this, Annie was a bit confused...

She heard that Jane Quinlan wasn’t taking her work seriously, which is why she was managing her.

So how come she ended up being the one to get blamed?

"Director Moore, I’m just trying to make sure the employee who came from my assistant manager’s office follows the rules set by the assistant manager’s office."

Nolan Moore laughed: "I’ve always heard that Director Qu is a responsible and diligent leader for the company.

Director Qu, please don’t misunderstand me.

I’m new to the company and there’s a lot of work to be done.

In the last few days, Jane Quinlan has been meeting my requests to work overtime and travel on business.

During her free time, I want her to rest up and recharge, so she can work more efficiently later.

But seeing her memorizing the company regulations for no reason disrupts my mood.

I heard that there are exams over at your place, so she’s been studying so diligently.

I’ve given it some thought, and to avoid affecting her work with me, I decided to call and ask for a favor.

I will manage this assistant well, rest assured and leave her to me."

With Nolan Moore speaking like this, Annie, who had been reading people’s faces for so many years in her position, immediately understood.

She nodded and smiled: "I promise you, Director Moore, I will try to let her be more free in the future.

But if she violates the assistant manager’s office rules, I will still deal with her accordingly."

"I naturally won’t interfere with that, I’m just asking that while she works beside me, she commits herself entirely to the job."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Nolan Moore smiled towards the door, Jane Quinlan, you owe me this favor now.

At noon, Jane Quinlan received a call from her cousin, Benjamin Quinlan.

Seeing the caller ID, she then remembered that Benjamin also worked at the company.

Having been here for several days, she was really so overwhelmed by Nolan that she couldn’t figure things out.

"Brother."

"If I didn’t call you, would you have decided not to look for me, your brother?

How come I hear you’ve started working at the company?"

Jane Quinlan stuck her tongue out: "I did start at the company, but I genuinely forgot about calling you.

Where did you hear it from?"

"Where else could it be, our manager’s assistant was talking about it at lunch, saying that Director Moore brought an assistant from the newspaper and that she got a good scolding from the manager of the assistant manager’s office.

At the time, I was thinking, isn’t that your newspaper?

After I got back to the department, I remembered to inquire about the name, and as soon as I heard it was Jane Quinlan, I was stunned.

So, did you really get scolded?"

Jane Quinlan, speechless, covered her face, "Good news stays within the walls, bad news travels far."

"Damn, really? What’s the problem, aren’t you the boss’s son’s girlfriend?

She dares to do that?

Does she no longer want to stick around in the company?"

"Shh," Jane Quinlan hushed into the phone: "Don’t talk nonsense in front of others.

Kay Forrest and I have agreed to keep this matter confidential.

We haven’t planned on letting anyone know about our relationship."

"Why?" Benjamin just couldn’t understand.

"I’m here to work, not to be subjected to people’s scrutiny and behind-the-back gossip.

In any case, brother, don’t get involved in this, will you?"

Benjamin was also at a loss for words: "What are these thoughts of yours?

So you’re really planning to always endure that old lady in your department?

I hear she’s a real spinster, quite the oddball.

If any female staff in the assistant manager’s office has a boyfriend, gets married, or is having a baby,

she can make life miserable for them.

Those who are favored in her office, they really are just single like her.

A lot of people are gossiping behind her back, wondering if she’s a lesbian or something."

Oh my, hearing Benjamin say that, Jane Quinlan suddenly felt a chill go down her spine.

"Brother, don’t scare me.

I already tremble at the mere mention of our manager’s name."

""

"For real, why would I scare you?"

Jane Quinlan felt utterly frustrated: "There’s no way she could be a lesbian.

If she really were, she wouldn’t be cursing at me like that.

After all, she doesn’t know I have a boyfriend; to a lesbian, I would still be someone she might be interested in."

"Maybe she just doesn’t fancy your type at all."

Jane Quinlan shivered again: "Wait wait wait, I feel like our conversation is going off-topic.

Let’s stop talking about this. I forgot there’s something important I needed to tell you.

I have a girl to introduce to you, when are you free to meet her?"

"You want me to meet her without even telling me any conditions.

Your brother isn’t that casual, you know."

Benjamin Quinlan’s words made Jane Quinlan laugh involuntarily: "Oh, big bro, you sure are fussy.

The person I’m introducing has a guaranteed character.

You’ve met her before; she’s my friend Daisy Zenith who works at the newspaper."

"Oh, that girl..."

Jane Quinlan frowned, listening to Benjamin Quinlan’s unfazed tone: "What, you think she’s not good enough?"

"How could that be, when do we meet?"

Hearing his response, Jane Quinlan grinned: "Are you free tonight?"

"For finding a girlfriend, I’ve got to make time even if I don’t have any.

Taking care of a lifetime matter like this can’t be put on hold anytime."

Jane Quinlan couldn’t help but laugh: "I had no idea you were so eager.

What, have you been plotting this for a long time, just waiting for the right moment?"

"Damn, you’ve caught on.

Alright, since you’ve found out, no point hiding it.

You go ahead and organize it, if it’s a good fit, then let’s meet."

Jane Quinlan laughed: "Okay, then wait for my call."

After hanging up, Jane Quinlan called Daisy.

As soon as she received the call, Daisy couldn’t be happier, and immediately started cursing.

"You freaking ghost, I thought you didn’t want me anymore.

You don’t contact me once you got to Skyward Group, it broke my heart."

"You can cut it out. You have no idea what kind of days I’ve been having.

It’s been utter misery.

If I hadn’t squeezed out some time during lunch today, I probably still wouldn’t have time to find you."

"What’s going on, that busy?"

Jane Quinlan nodded: "Not just busy, my boss is a lunatic, determined not to stop until I’m tortured to death.

You don’t know how miserable I am."

"Aw, my sweetheart, you’re working so hard.

By taking the demon away, you’ve given us all a slice of freedom."

Jane Quinlan covered her mouth speechlessly: "If not me, then who would go to hell?

Hey, focus, do you have time tonight?

Come out for dinner with my brother and me."

"Tonight?"

"What, it’s too soon?"

"No, it’s just that I’m not dressed pretty today.

I’d have to leave work an hour early to go home and change my clothes."

"Why even bother? If you two really end up together, he’ll even see you with no makeup on."

"That’s for then, but isn’t this our first time meeting today?

I’ve got to leave a good impression."

"Second time," Jane Quinlan raised two fingers and wiggled them.

Daisy rolled her eyes: "Alright, alright, the second time.

Tell me, have you asked your brother what he thinks of me?"

"He saw you once at the company a while ago, and the moment I said I’d introduce you to him, he got excited.

Keep in mind, you weren’t the only one my brother met at the newspaper that day."

"Is that so..." Daisy perked up a bit.

Jane Quinlan laughed: "Okay, you get back to it, I need to prepare some documents for work.

I’ll tell you the meeting place close to the end of work hours."

"Got it."

After hanging up, Jane Quinlan looked at her watch and it was time to go to work.

Just then, the door of the neighboring office opened, Director Nolan Moore approached her desk with a devilish grin.

Jane Quinlan wasn’t scared, raising an eyebrow: "Director Moore, what can I do for you?"

"If not me, then who would go to hell?"

Jane Quinlan was dumbfounded. Was this guy eavesdropping from inside?
