While her best friend was still typing, Xu Jiaojiao saw Qi Shenbaiâs figure and silenced her phone, placing it face-down on the table. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The food was indeed delicious, and Xu Jiaojiao ate a lot. If it were not for her image, she would have had another bowl of soup.
âDo you have classes this afternoon?â
After lunch, Qi Shenbai asked as though out of habit. He ordered the famous macaroon for Xu Jiaojiao and a cup of black coffee for himself.
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. â1 donât have any classes today.â
âDo you want to come to the office with me?â
Hearing this suggestion, Xu Jiaojiaoâs eyes flashed with astonishment. âWhy would 1 go to your company?â
âYour brother just finished an important project. You can visit him while heâs free.â Qi Shenbai was like a naughty uncle coaxing a child. âYou havenât entered his office yet, right?â
When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she was instantly tempted, but she still had some concerns. âThatâs a high-level office. If I go in, itâll affect your work, wonât it?â
âIt doesnât matter.â
Eventually, he convinced her and the two of them got into the luxury car.
It was lunch break when they arrived at the company. Most of the staff were out for lunch.
Qi Shenbai brought Xu Jiaojiao straight to the top floor of the company. He did not forget to instruct his assistant, âGet someone to deliver a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice and see if Mr. Xu is around.â
After a while, the secretary knocked on the door. âMr. Qi, hereâs your juice.â
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the girl sitting on the sofa. The secretary stood rooted to the ground.
How could there be such a cute girl in Mr. Qiâs office?
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the young lady in the exquisite business suit, not understanding why she was looking at her in surprise.
The woman could only smile harmlessly.
Oh my god! How could there be a girl in the world who smiled so sweetly? The secretary felt like she had instantly fallen for her.
Xu Jiaojiao was confused by her excited expression.
However, Qi Shenbai understood her intentions. He said in a businesslike manner, âWhat are you standing there for? Just put down the juice and go out.â
Only then did the secretary realize how out of control she had been.
She placed the juice on the coffee table. Before she left, she did not forget to give Xu Jiaojiao a few more glances.
The girlâs complexion was wonderful. Her eyelashes were long and thick. Her big eyes and round face were really super cute.
After leaving the office, the secretaryâs face was filled with confusion. Why was there such a cute girl in the CEOâs office? Could she be Mr. Qiâs illegitimate daughter?
Everyone knew that the CEO Luo had just gotten married. How could he immediately have such a beautiful daughter?
Pei Yan looked at the heated discussion in the group chat and consciously glanced at the CEOâs office.
Everyone was trying to guess the girlâs identity. There was even a fearless person who directly tagged him and asked if he knew the inside story.
The corners of Pei Yanâs mouth twitched slightly as he sent a text message.
[Do you know how old that girl is?]
[I think sheâs only 15 or 16 years old.]
The female secretary immediately responded.
[Sheâs so lovely, so much so that I want her for myself. Sheâs the sweetest girl Iâve ever met.]
Pei Yan was speechless.
[Our CEO is only 29 years old this year. If his illegitimate daughter is 15 years old, do you think he had a child when he was 14 years old? Are you an idiot?]
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at each other. Someone continued to ask recklessly, [Then who is it?]
The president rarely interacted with women all these years. Why would he suddenly bring a girl to the office? Not everybody could earn the glory of Qi Shenbaiâs company.
Pei Yan did not expose Xu Jiaojiaoâs identity.
At the same time, Xu Jiaojiao had no idea that she was already a celebrity in the company. She drank her juice and looked at Qi Shenbai, who was sitting on the bossâs chair.
âI have some work to deal with. If youâre bored, you can play with the tablet for a while.â
The man buried his head in the document and did not forget to reassure her.
âItâs okay. I brought my own tablet. Do what you have to do. Pretend I donât exist.â
Xu Jiaojiao put down her cup and took out her tablet and capacitor pen. She casually opened the drawing app and watched the handsome man in front of her as she recorded his visage in each stroke.
The news kept spreading throughout the companyâs group chat. They were discussing fervently and even forgot that Qi Shenbai was in the group chat.
Qi Shenbai felt a pain in his forehead as he looked at the scrolling messages.
He casually picked up his phone and tapped on the screen with his slender fingers.
[Anyone who discusses the CEOâs wife will see their seasonal bonuses cut.]
His words caused a thousand ripples. The group instantly fell silent.
The CEOâs wife?
âWho?â
The colleagues who had just participated in the discussion finally realized what was going on. They looked at Pei Yan in unison.
This man was the worst. He clearly knew the inside story, but he watched them make a fool of themselves in front of the CEO..
