Master Zhangâs secretary saw her and asked enthusiastically, âXiaoâai, whatâs your plan for Christmas? Do you have a date with some hot guy?â
Qin Zhiâai smiled faintly and said, âGo home and sleep.â
Married and with a child in primary school, Sister Song asked with great interest, âXiaoâai, you donât have a boyfriend yet? Let me introduce you to someone! Thereâs a handsome young man in our neighborhood, an overseas student with a Beijing residency. Heâs working in the political and legal department.â
Master Zhangâs secretary saw that Qin Zhiâai was embarrassed, so she interrupted. âCome on, Sister Song! If you keep going, youâll be a matchmaker rather than Master Xiaâs secretary!â
âXiaoâai is so pretty, so I want her to find a good man while sheâs young!â Sister Song answered.
While everyone was chattering, a âroyal relativeâ showed up in the general managerâs office.
âRoyal relativeâ referred to Xiaowang, who had been nicknamed by Sister Song because he was second only to one other person in the company.
Although Xiaowang was only Gu Yushengâs secretary, when everyone saw him coming, they all hushed and respectfully greeted him.
Xiaowang was assigned by Gu Yusheng to conduct the meeting. He politely responded to everyone individually and then asked Qin Zhiâai to come to his office.
Xiaowang carefully arranged Qin Zhiâaiâs work with her and then picked up his cell phone to check the time. Because the meeting was about to begin, Xiaowang smiled kindly at Qin Zhiâai and asked her to go back to her desk to work. Then he got up, gathered his documents, and entered the conference room.
A few days ago, when Xiaowang was arranging work for Qin Zhiâai, he casually had mentioned that the company might be integrated. She assumed this is what the meeting was about.
At noon, Qin Zhiâai prepared lunch for Xiaowang. When he came out of the conference room at 2:00 p.m., Qin Zhiâai handed it to him right away.
As soon as Xiaowang went to the tea room for lunch, two unexpected guests arrived at the general managerâs office.
This time, it was the âreal royal relativesâ: Old Master Gu and Liang Doukou.
Xiaowang, who was enjoying his lunch, saw Old Master Gu and Liang Doukou coming. He immediately put down his chopsticks, grabbed a paper towel, wiped his mouth, and greeted them. âOld Master Gu. Miss Liang.â
Old Master Gu responded with a âhmmâ and nothing else. He turned his head and looked around, scrutinizing the company that Gu Yusheng had recently purchased.
Liang Doukou took Old Master Guâs arm and smiled gently at Xiaowang. Ignoring the office whispers and picture-taking, she said, âAre you having lunch?â
âYes, the meeting ended a little late.â After Xiaowang answered, he paused for a while and said, âOld Master Gu, Miss Liang, Master Gu is not at the company right now.â
âI know. Grandpa is free today, so he wanted to visit Yushengâs new company,â Liang Doukou answered softly and then asked, âIs that Yushengâs office?â
âYes.â Hearing Liang Doukouâs words, Xiaowang quickly made a respectful gesture. âOld Master Gu, Miss Liang, please go to the office and rest for a while.â
âOkay.â Liang Doukou gave him a smile. Before taking a step, she seemed to have thought of something and said, âDriver Wang, keep eating your lunch, and let Secretary Qin accompany us.â
