They had agreed on a secret marriage before.
Their relationship wouldnât be made public. Qiao Qiao couldnât ask for more, and Shao Jingmo tacitly agreed. But now, Qiao Qiao clearly felt that Shao Jingmo wasnât joking. He really planned to carry her in just like that.
In that case, everyone in the company would know about her relationship with Shao Jingmo.
âPut me dovvn,â she urged anxiously, kicking her shins.
Shao Jingmo did not stand still. He did as she said and put her down.
He turned sideways and used his broad body to block the view on the other side. His cold gaze stopped on her tightly furrowed brows as he explained, âThose old fellows in Deep Blue have never seen you before, so they wonât know that you joined Deep Blue today. They arranged for you to be at the bottom level so that you can adapt to the scale of the company as soon as possible and understand the interpersonal relationships in the company. Another point you can rest assured. Iâve already arranged for someone to keep an eye on you at all times. No one will dare to stack the deck against you. There will also be someone specially guiding you. You wonât be tired at any time.â
Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. Her lips parted slightly with a slightly surprised expression. Shao Jingmo said calmly, âShut your mouth.â
Qiao Qiao swallowed and obediently shut her mouth. Seeing Shao Jingmoâs serious expression, she hesitated for a long time before saying, âLittle Uncle, Iâm sorryâ¦â
Shao Jingmo said indifferently, âYou donât have to say that.â
Qiao Qiao looked up and took a step in front of him, smiling ingratiatingly at him. â1 1 didnât know youâd arranged it all. If Iâd knownâ¦â
Shao Jingmo knew what she was going to say. âIf you had known, you wouldnât have fallen out with me?â
âl didnât fall out.â Qiao Qiao wouldnât admit that she had thought of falling out with him on impulse, but her rationality pulled her back. She couldnât fall out with Shao Jingmo now. Just as she finished rationalizing, she heard Shao Jingmoâs explanation. She was stunned.
Qiao Qiao was so guilty that she didnât even look at Shao Jingmo. âIâm just a little impatient, you know.â
Shao Jingmo said, âl donât know.â Qiao Qiao choked. Shao Jingmo turned around and reminded her, âFollow me.â
âOh, Iâm coming.â At this moment, she had already forgotten about keeping a distance from Shao Jingmo. What two or three meters? She had completely forgotten about it.
She followed closely behind Shao Jingmo into Deep Blue. The bodyguard, Jingcheng, followed behind.
As tor why Shao Jingmo always had a skilled bodyguard by his side, (Liao Qiao didnât understand it in the past. Now, she knew that it was because the Bai familyâs power was always around. It was safest to have a bodyguard by his side.
On the way in, when all the employees saw Shao Jingmo, they would stop in their tracks and nod in greeting. Then, they would look at Qiao Qiao, who was beside Shao Jingmo.
No one had seen Qiao Qiao before.
She was not the only woman who followed Shao Jingmo into the company, but she was the only woman who followed Shao Jingmo into the company early in the morning. The other women before her were either company employees or partners.
Therefore, after Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo walked far away, many people still turned to look at the woman beside the President and guessed her identity.
Under countless curious gazes, Qiao Qiao went into the Presidentâs elevator with Shao Jingmo.
After the elevator door closed, she immediately asked Shao Jingmo, âI followed you into the company just now. So many people saw it. We agreed to keep our secret marriage a secret. How do we resolve it?â
Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. âHow do you want to resolve it?â
Qiao Qiao said, âAnyway, we have to keep our marriage a secret.â
Shao Jingmo said, âNo admission, no explanation, no clarification. Is that okay?â
Qiao Qiao: â
Shao Jingmo smiled and said calmly, âDo you know why I insisted on letting you come into the company with me?â
âWhy?â Qiao Qiao was curious about this as well.
Shao Jingmo stared at her for a few seconds before saying calmly, âItâs for
Grandpa to see.â
Qiao Qiao was puzzled. âGrandpa?â
Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze. âIâm the actual owner of Deep Blue, but the chairman is still him. He has controlled this company for most of his life. Do you think he canât reach out to the company just because heâs sick and canât manage the company?â
Qiao Qiao immediately understood.
She thought that there was another reason why Shao Jingmo wanted her to follow him into the company. For example, he actually wanted everyone in the company to know about her true relationship with him.
In the end, she was thinking too much. So he was doing it for her grandfather.
This was considered an attitude for Grandpa. Qiao Qiao realized that she wasnât so happy inside. She felt a little depressed. âl understand. As for the rumors, you have to deal with them.â
Shao Jingmo replied, âMm.â
They arrived at the floor of the Presidentâs office. The elevator doors opened. Shao Jingmo went out first. Qiao Qiao watched Shao Jingmo leave first and thought that he wasnât even waiting for her. As she was thinking, she heard
Shao Jingmo say, âDonât just stand there. Follow me.â âOh, coming.â She hurried after him.
As this was her first time at Deep Blue Corporation,
Qiao Qiaoâs impression of the entire company was that it was huge, including Shao Jingmoâs office. It was actually a separate floor with floor-to-ceiling windows in all directions, overlooking the entire Xingzhou.
The secretary came in to report the meeting contents. Shao Jingmo sat behind his desk and flipped through the documents.
Jingcheng stood silently at the door. Another assistant was already sorting out another portion of the documents needed for the meeting.
Qiao Qiao was the most bored person, but she didnât dare to walk around Shao Jingmo!s office. She sat obediently on the sofa and played with her phone. After an unknown period of time, Shao Jingmo got up and walked out from behind his desk.
Seeing this, Qiao Qiao immediately stood up and pretended to follow. Shao Jingmo, who was about to go to a meeting, stopped when he saw Qiao Qiao follow him. He said calmly, âYou donât have to follow.â
Qiao Qiao was disappointed. âOh.â
Shao Jingmo took in the flash of disappointment on her face and explained, âIâll be in a meeting for about forty minutes.â Qiao Qiao said nothing. Shao
Jingmo called Jingcheng over. âStay with her. Dou Ying will come over in ten minutes. Just let her leave with Dou Ying.â
Jing Cheng nodded. âUnderstood.â
After explaining, Shao Jingmo left the office. Qiao Qiao looked at the huge office and saw that only she and the bodyguard were left. All the restrictions from before disappeared, and she began to walk around.
There were many vases and paintings in Shao Jingmoâs office. They looked quite expensive. She casually touched a vase and asked Jingcheng, âIs this expensive?â
Jingcheng answered her, âMiss, the one youâre asking about is the pink
Baitong vase that Third Master bought at Christieâs. Itâs worth 4,540,000.â
Qiao Qiao retracted her hand in shock. Any one of them was so expensive, let alone the others. There were several vases in this row. She went to the other side and reached for a painting. Jing Chengâs voice came from behind. âThis is a work from Zhang Daqian, which the Third Master bought at Christieâsâ¦â
âUh⦠Thereâs no need to finish. I know I canât touch it just by hearing the name Zhang Daqian.â Qiao Qiao retracted her hand and went to Shao Jingmoâs desk. She said to Jingcheng, âDonât tell Little Uncle that 1 took his seat.â Jingcheng nodded. âOkay.â
âForget it. Itâs fine even if you say it. Iâll sit.â After saying that, Qiao Qiao sat down and leaned back. She sighed and said, âItâs so comfortable to sit in a Presidentâs chair worth hundreds of billions.â
Jingcheng said, âMiss, youâre also Mrs President with a net worth of hundreds of billions.â
âYou sure know how to talk.â Qiao Qiao grinned. As she smiled, she suddenly shut her mouth.. She remembered the name Shao Jingmo had mentioned before he left and immediately asked Jingcheng, âWho was Dou Ying before Little Uncle left?â
