My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 121 - The Meeting II

Chapter 121 - The Meeting II

"I heard about you from my father two days ago. He said that you will still go to Beijing by the end of this year."

As Jiang Ruolan walked towards them, she heard the woman's voice. She couldn't help but look at the expensive and dignified woman's dress with curiosity. She thought to herself that those who appeared here were not ordinary people.

As expected, just as she was thinking about it, a.s.sistant Bai walked to her and whispered, "This is the daughter of the head of the disciplinary committee, s.h.i.+ Zheng. She works in the Audit Bureau."

a.s.sistant Bai took the opportunity to remind her not to speak the wrong words. Jiang Ruolan understood, so when s.h.i.+ Zheng looked at her, she gave her a friendly smile and nodded.

However, s.h.i.+ Zheng only looked at her with an expressionless face. She gave Jiang Ruolan a glance that was neither warm nor cold before turning her gaze to the silent Xian Zihao, "Are you free tonight?"

Jiang Ruolan's heart was shocked by s.h.i.+ Zheng undisguised action and tone, but she kept her emotions in check as she looked at Xian Zihao silently.

Xian Zihao didn't have much of an expression on his face. His eyes didn't show any signs of being pleased either. He just leisurely placed his hands on his lap and said with a smile, "There will be a gathering of dignitaries tonight. Of course I won't be absent."

His meaning was very clear. After today's meeting, there would be a large charity dinner hosted by the province tonight. He would not miss it, and he would not miss it for anyone.

It was precisely because of his calm yet tactful rejection that Jiang Ruolan could sense that Xian Zihao knew this woman was interested in him.

"Tomorrow night, then." s.h.i.+ Zheng smiled happily. "Shall we go for dinner tomorrow night?"

Xian Zihao smiled, "Tomorrow's schedule is already set. The time is rather short. I'm afraid that even if I have the time, I still won't have the honor to accompany Miss s.h.i.+ for dinner."

s.h.i.+ Zheng looked at Xian Zihao with a congealed gaze. She wanted to say something, however, because there were a few people around her, she restrained herself, and in the blink of an eye, a dignified and proud smile formed on her face again. "It doesn't matter, I can wait for you no matter how late you work."

As she left, she said softly, "Even though my father did not attend this convention, he happened to come to G City for an examination today. You should also meet him."

Then, the slim figure left.

Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao and saw that his face was emotionless. She didn't know if he was planning to meet s.h.i.+ Zheng or not.

The time for rest was over, Jiang Ruolan quickly sat back down beside Xian Zihao. During the meeting that afternoon, even though she was writing a detailed report on the meeting, her heart still relied on one point.

For a man like Xian Zihao, there was no lack of suitors by his side. Cui Liuxian who grew up by his side was just a special case. After all, the people Xian Zihao came into contact with were all in the upper echelons of the board.

s.h.i.+ Zheng's meaning was very clear. She was asking Xian Zihao to accompany her to a meal. Furthermore, when she was rejected, she would know what to say to save her face and could even drag out her father's name, straight to the point.

Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao's side profile and lost herself in thought, pondering on how he had reacted to s.h.i.+ Zheng. When her sneaking glance was caught by him, Jiang Ruolan immediately shuddered. She quickly looked away continued to write the report of the meeting.

Xian Zihao was watching her with his mischievous and amused gaze.

On the same day, in Boston, United States.

In the Qin's Headquarters building.

"President Qin, the new secretary is currently in the office waiting for you."

Qin Gengxin, who had just entered the company lobby on the first floor, gave an "En" replied and accepted the contract sent up by the secretary. He looked at the terms and walked into the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the top floor with a "ding" sound. As Qin Gengxin walked out of the elevator while reading the terms and conditions of the contract, a hint of displeasure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He threw the contract into the secretary's hands. "This is very interesting, we haven't even opened our mouths yet, but they have already started bragging. Do they think that Qin Group is really easy to take advantage of!"

"But President Qin, the project of the Dahua Inst.i.tution this time is..."

Before the secretary's department manager could finish his words, Qin Gengxin's footsteps suddenly stopped.

His peach eyes locked onto the silhouette behind the frosted window of the CEO's office. He narrowed his eyes slowly and looked around hesitantly. He then glanced at the secretary's department manager and asked, "Is this the new secretary?"

"Yes, her name is Zhou Shufen. She's a top student in the finance department of Harvard University. She already has a few years of working experience, and …"

"Zhou Shufen?" Qin Gengxin's long and narrow eyes slightly widened as he walked into his office.

The woman, who was sitting at the side of the desk, raised her head. When she saw him, she smiled and stood up. Her eyes were respectful as she nodded at him. "President Qin."

Qin Gengxin calmly looked at the woman who had changed greatly in the past few years. He signaled the secretary's department manager to leave first. When Qin Gengxin heard his (the secretary's department manager) retreated footstep, he leaned against the gla.s.s wall with his arms crossed.

He looked at the woman who looked beautiful as usual but seemed to have matured after a few years. "Why are you here?"

"I only have one offer from Qin and Xian. If I want to change a new job, I have to submit my resume to your HR department. Who would have thought that Secretary Chen happened to be pregnant and was asking for annual leave. Because of my performance in the previous month's probationary period was quite outstanding, and also because I am your colleague during our time in university, the secretary's department manager decide to promote me. That makes sense, right?"

"Then I really have to thank you, Miss Zhou. You're too smart." Qin Gengxin whistled frivolously. His smile didn't reach his eyes as he walked to his office.

Zhou Shufen paused for a moment. Seeing that Qin Gengxin didn't want to talk to her, she clenched the paper in her hand tightly.

Zhou Shufen suddenly put down the stack of papers and quickly followed Qin Gengxin before he could close the door to his office.

As if he didn't hear her, Qin Gengxin walked around his desk and sat down. He saw several files on the table that had been waiting for him to approve.

Qin Gengxin's face did not have any expression, and his voice was also a little distant, "If you really want to work at Qin's, then please follow the rules! I did not call you, why did you come in?"

"Gengxin." A tinge of sadness appeared in Zhou Shufen's eyes.
