Chapter 37 See? You’ve Certainly Missed Me
Our President Qin?
How could Su Ziyue not figure out what the receptionist meant by that?
Your President Qin and I even shared the same bed last night!
Su Ziyue swept a look at the receptionist; she seemed really delicate and had healthy skin, looking like a fresh graduate.
Su Ziyue mustered a perfect smile and said, “Excuse me, but I really need to see him. Can you do me a favor by asking him? Tell him that it’s Su Ziyue who’s looking for him.”
Admittedly, a gorgeous woman who did not put on airs could still get into others’ good books.
Even though the receptionist was behaving slightly hostile toward Su Ziyue, she knew her place. Moreover, Su Ziyue treated her with great manners. Hence, she could only put on a good attitude.
“I’ll ask for you,” said the receptionist while picking up the phone to do Su Ziyue a favor.
Su Ziyue stood aside silently as she waited for the receptionist’s reply.
The receptionist hung up the phone soon after. “President Qin is having a meeting now.”
Su Ziyue’s eyes illuminated after listening to her. “Is he always this busy every day? Would he always stay in the company?”
The eyes of the receptionist glistened at the mention of Qin Muchen. “There has been a recent project that just started, and he would have various meetings all day long. Moreover, President Qin is…”
All of a sudden, she came to realize that she had talked too much. So, she quickly stopped talking.
Su Ziyue was not actually looking for Qin Muchen after all; she just wanted to make sure that Qin Muchen had been staying in the company.
“Thank you. Since he’s so busy, just forget about it. Sorry to trouble you,” Su Ziyue said smilingly before she got ready to leave.
At this moment, a young man dressed in navy blue suit walked in from the main entrance; his clear and bright eyes gave everyone a good impression of him at first sight. “Good day, President Bai!”
Su Ziyue turned her head toward the voice, and the young man also happened to lift his sight to look at her.
The gaze of the young man fell onto Su Ziyue’s illumined face and was startled for two seconds. “Who is this lady?” he asked politely.
“She’s Su…”
The receptionist hurriedly interrupted the conversation. She immediately corrected her words after noticing her incorrect tone. “Miss Su is looking for President Qin, but he’s currently in a meeting.”
“She’s here to look for Muchen?” The man showed keen interest through his eyes. He then shifted his sight to look at Su Ziyue as he put on a smile. “Hello, I’m Bai Jingshu.”
The man in front of her was undoubtedly classy and well mannered. Coming to think of how the receptionist had addressed him, she could almost be sure that Bai Jingshu was the director of the company.
“Hello. I’m Su Ziyue.” Su Ziyue certainly admired a man that was young, admirable, and classy at the same time; the smile on her face had become more sincere.
Bai Jingshu casually put one of his hands into his pocket. It was only a simple action, but he had done it in a graceful manner. “I’m looking for Muchen as well. Let’s head upstairs together.”
“It’s fine. Since he’s busy, I’ll just…”
“It’s nothing. With a gorgeous lady coming to look for him, he will draw out some time even if he’s busy.”
Bai Jingshu chuckled while saying that. He then raised his foot before pacing forward.
Su Ziyue could only take several steps forward to keep up with him.
She felt like it was impossible that Bai Jingshu was the director of the company. Otherwise, he would not have acted so easygoing.
The both of them stood in the elevator when Su Ziyue’s vision focused on the red numbers that kept changing. She was feeling slightly awkward, having to board the elevator with an unknown man; there was absolutely no conversation happening between them both.
Moreover, what should she say when she saw Qin Muchen later?
At first, she only had the intention of coming over to make sure that Qin Muchen was indeed here.
Now that she had calmed herself down, she had realized that her actions might have been quite hasty.
Su Ziyue was a step behind Bai Jingshu when they exited the elevator.
Along their way, a number of people greeted Bai Jingshu.
“Hello, President Bai!”
Su Ziyue noticed that it was a positive environment in the company, unlike those days when she had to work under the Su Group, which felt lifeless throughout the whole company.
Then, Bai Jingshu abruptly turned his head around and said, “The office right in front is Mu Chen’s office. He’s currently in a meeting, but you can take a seat in his office first.”
“Mr. Bai, you’re letting me enter his office just like that…”
Bai Jingshu put up a grin with slightly bad intentions. “I remembered that last time Muchen had asked someone to renovate his house, he had mentioned a lady whose surname was Su. Therefore, I suppose that you’re the lady he was referring to. I can’t be mistaken…”
“…”
There was a moment of silence, and Su Ziyue was blushing the very next second.
However, it was only because on the second day Qin Muchen had moved into her house, he had demolished the walls of her room when she was not at home. He opened up the whole apartment, forcing Su Ziyue to share the same bed with him.
Bai Jingshu had said it in a very obscure manner.
Therefore, Su Ziyue could also figure out from his remarks that he was on good terms with Qin Muchen.
An employee happened to walk by them and babbled after seeing the deep blush on Su Ziyue’s appearance, “President Bai, is this your new girlfriend?”
Bai Jingshu did not seem to be angry. In fact, he responded with a good attitude, “I’m indeed thinking of having such a good-looking girlfriend. However, I don’t have such blessings; she is one of President Qin’s people…”
The employee had his mouth wide open while staring at Su Ziyue after listening to Bai Jingshu; it was as if he was looking at a novel being before he respectfully bowed toward her. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Qin!” he shouted.
Su Ziyue’s mouth twitched; she felt like he was saluting her, as if she was a chief.
“President Bai, I’ll continue with my task then,” the employee said to Bai Jingshu after he was done speaking to Su Ziyue.
He then left hastily, as if a ghost was chasing him behind his back.
“W-What’s wrong with him?” Su Ziyue seemed puzzled when she looked toward Bai Jingshu.
Bai Jingshu let out a mysterious smile as he pushed the office door open. “This is Qin Muchen’s office. You should wait for him inside. If there’s anything you’d like to drink, you can ask the secretary to send it over.”
Su Ziyue was startled when she raised her sight to take a look. She noticed a row of wordings being marked on the door saying ‘Vice President’s Office’.
Bai Jingshu left as soon as he finished speaking. Su Ziyue could only bear with it and made her way into the office.
The office was renovated with a cool color scheme; it was simple and had nothing extra, neither was it luxurious.
Su Ziyue did not dare to simply touch anything as she curiously took a look around.
“Knock, knock.”
Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Su Ziyue could only reply, “Come in.”
The person who had entered the room was a woman who seemed like a secretary; she approached Su Ziyue with a cup of coffee in her hands. “Mrs. Qin, please enjoy your coffee.”
Su Ziyue had only reacted to how the secretary had addressed her when Su Ziyue was about to thank her. “What, what did you call me?”
“Mrs. Qin, you’re really gorgeous.” The secretary smiled. She seemed to have a good attitude. “President Qin will be back soon, so please wait for a while.” She thought Su Ziyue was feeling embarrassed.
As soon as she finished, she turned around and quickly left the room.
“Eh…” Su Ziyue was rather awkward when she made that squeak. She did not utter a word at the end.
Mrs. Qin…
She pondered about whether she really should be here today.
But before Su Ziyue could finish her cup of coffee, Qin Munchen had already come back.
He had a bag of documents in his hand and his hair was untidily messy; it was as if he had just come back hastily from somewhere.
He pushed open the office door and saw Su Ziyue sitting behind his office desk. Startled, he quickly turned it into a smile; it was as if his gaze was saying, See, you’ve certainly missed me.
