Ye Qiu and Lin Jingzhi were talking when a BMW slowly pulled up.
Wan Jie is here, Lin Jingzhi said with a smile.
Soon, the BMW stopped, and Qin Wan stepped out.
Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up instantly.
Qin Wan had dressed up meticulously today, wearing a navy-blue cheongsam that accentuated her graceful figure perfectly.
With her flawless face, clear black eyes, delicate nose, elegantly curved cheeks, and full, vibrant lips, every feature was perfection.
Qin Wan was like a blooming crabapple, her long, slender legs faintly visible as she moved, exuding a mature allure.
Utterly captivating.
When Qin Wan saw Ye Qiu, a flash of delight crossed her eyes, but she quickly masked it.
Lin Jingzhi stepped forward, linked arms with Qin Wan, and said with a smile, Wan Jie, you’re here so early.
Qin Wan smiled, I came early to see if there’s anything I can help with.
Lin Jingzhi said, There wasn’t anything at first, but now that you mention it, there’s actually something I need your help with.
What is it? Qin Wan asked.
Let’s talk upstairs, Lin Jingzhi said, leading Qin Wan and Ye Qiu to the president’s office.
Once inside, Qin Wan asked, Jingzhi, what do you need me to do? Just say it, no need to be polite.
Don’t worry, Wan Jie, I won’t be polite with you, Lin Jingzhi said, glancing at Ye Qiu. The company’s opening today, and I’ll be busy, so I probably won’t have time to keep him company.
Wan Jie, I’m entrusting him to you.
Do me a favour and take care of him.
Instantly, Qin Wan’s face flushed red, and she stole a glance at Ye Qiu.
I’ve got things to do, I’ll head off now, Lin Jingzhi said with a grin, leaving the office.
As soon as she left, Ye Qiu walked over and pulled Qin Wan into his arms.
To his surprise, she pushed him away.
Wan Jie, what’s wrong? Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.
You heartless man, ignoring me for so long, hmph, Qin Wan said with a resentful look, pretending to be angry.
Ye Qiu pulled her into his arms again, apologising, Wan Jie, it’s my fault.
I’ve been too busy lately.
I’m sorry.
Before he could finish, Qin Wan’s lips pressed against his.
The two began kissing passionately.
Bang.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from outside, startling them both.
Lin Jingzhi stood at the doorway, chuckling, Wan Jie, I forgot to mention earlier.
There’s a room inside, with a big, soft bed you’ll definitely like.
Oh, and be gentle, don’t break Ye Qiu, I still need him, hehe.
Lin Jingzhi giggled and closed the office door.
Qin Wan’s face turned bright red, and she spat, Honestly, Jingzhi, how can she act like that.
Lin Jie’s always been like this, don’t you know? Ye Qiu said, holding Qin Wan. Wan Jie, shall we go to the room inside?
Qin Wan shook her head, No, it’s Jingzhi’s company opening today, and I need to go down later to help greet the guests.
Then I’ll come find you tonight? Ye Qiu suggested.
Alright, Qin Wan murmured, then glared at him. Take your hand off.
Ye Qiu’s right hand was slowly moving below Qin Wan’s waist. He grinned mischievously, Wan Jie, don’t you like it?
Qin Wan said, Don’t wrinkle my cheongsam, I’ve got to meet people later.
Ye Qiu nodded, Alright, I’ll be gentle.
Qin Wan: …
Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something important he hadn’t done, quickly let go of Qin Wan, pulled out his phone, and made a call.
Ten in the morning.
Ye Qiu and Qin Wan left Lin Jingzhi’s office and went downstairs to help greet the guests.
But as soon as they stepped out of the Lin Group’s entrance, they saw Lin Jingzhi scolding Sun Mengjie.
What did I tell you yesterday?
I asked you to have the PR department confirm all the media and guests attending today. How is it that not a single one has shown up?
How am I supposed to hold the company opening?
Lin Jingzhi’s face was icy.
It was clear she was furious.
Sun Mengjie said, President Lin, let me explain. Last night, I got word that none of the guests or media would be coming today.
Lin Jingzhi was livid, You knew last night and didn’t report to me?
Sun Mengjie, are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?
If you don’t want to work here, you can leave.
Sun Mengjie’s eyes welled up with tears as she said, President Lin, I…
What do you mean, I? Lin Jingzhi snapped. If you want to keep your job, go contact the guests and media right now.
Ye Qiu hurried over and said, Lin Jie, don’t blame Xiao Jie.
Last night, she was going to report to you, but you were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t want to wake you.
Lin Jie, don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything.
Hearing this, Lin Jingzhi’s anger subsided slightly, and she apologised to Sun Mengjie, Sorry, I got carried away just now.
Sun Mengjie shook her head, It’s not your fault, President Lin, it’s mine.
Just then, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up at the entrance, and Xu Minghui stepped out.
Dressed in a suit with his hair slicked back, Xu Minghui looked ostentatious.
The weather’s great today.
Xu Minghui tilted his head back, took a deep breath, then walked up to Lin Jingzhi with a smile, flanked by two bodyguards. President Lin, congratulations on your new company’s opening.
Thank you, Lin Jingzhi replied expressionlessly.
Xu Minghui glanced at the empty seats, feigning confusion, How come I don’t see a single guest?
President Lin, you didn’t forget to invite guests, did you?
A company opening is a big deal, you can’t do it without guests. Want me to call a few friends to liven things up?
No need, Lin Jingzhi said. The guests will be here soon.
Is that so? Xu Minghui smirked. How many guests did you invite, President Lin? Who are they?
And how come I don’t see a single media outlet here?
President Lin, I’m not criticising, but a new company opening needs to be grand, with a big show to make an impression.
I happen to have good connections with some media. If you need, I can get them to come over.
No need, Lin Jingzhi cut him off. I’ve invited media, they’ll be here soon.
Just then, a black van stopped nearby.
Soon, a few men and women carrying cameras stepped out, looking like media reporters.
Which outlet is this? Why don’t I recognise them? It’s not some obscure tabloid, is it? Xu Minghui said.
Just as he finished, a middle-aged man with a large beard approached Lin Jingzhi respectfully and said, Hello, President Lin, I’m Wang Zhisheng, editor-in-chief of Jiangzhou Daily.
I’m here to cover your new company’s opening.
I hope I’m not disturbing you, President Lin?
