Hearing Lin Qian’s question, Xin ng’s smile froze slightly.
Her fingers twisted on her lap, she swallowed and said, "Vice President Lin, I’m really sorry. I was rude to you before in the sales departnt. Can you please forgive and forget? I’m a single mom, my daughter just started kindergarten this year, and I can’t afford to lose this job."
She couldn’t lose this job and had to humble herself to ask for forgiveness.
She hoped the newly appointed vice president would give her a chance.
Seeing Xin ng’s uneasy expression, Lin Qian smiled slightly.
"Minister Xin, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Having been in the workforce herself, Lin Qian understood how Xin ng felt now.
Afraid that her hard-earned career might collapse instantly.
"I think you are a modern woman who is pragmatic, insightful, and capable."
Xin ng thought for a mont and said flatteringly.
Pragmatic and unbiased?
She probably feared Lin Qian would hold a grudge against her, so she was trying to flatter her!
Lin Qian chuckled lightly, "Since Minister Xin thinks I’m that kind of person, isn’t it a bit unnecessary for you to co today? Yes, you were against , but you didn’t really harm much; instead, it showed everyone my capabilities, didn’t it?"
Xin ng had challenged her out of fear she would take her position.
But Lin Qian resolved it, earning herself respect from everyone in the company.
Although so incidents happened later, they had nothing to do with Xin ng.
She wasn’t a narrow-minded person.
Moreover, since she just assud the vice president position, wouldn’t showing leniency towards her subordinates make others respect her even more?
Seeing Lin Qian’s calm smile, Xin ng was excited, with a glimr of light in her eyes, "Vice President Lin....."
"If there’s nothing else, go back to work. Minister Xin, you’re an excellent sales talent; I need your help."
Lin Qian interrupted Xin ng, indicating she should return to work.
"Alright, Vice President Lin, I’ll definitely work hard and won’t let you down in the future."
Xin ng stood up, hastily wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, speaking solemnly.
"Good, let’s work hard together."
Lin Qian smiled, watching Xin ng leave, relieved.
"Mommy, you’re amazing! You won that aunt’s heart so quickly."
Chu Ziyang peered out from inside, stepping out with his short legs.
"Ziyang, you eavesdropped on mommy’s conversation again."
Lin Qian got up to pour herself a glass of water, smiling as she ruffled the little guy’s hair.
"Hehe, I was just worried she might be bad for you, mommy!"
"No need to worry, there aren’t that many bad people in the world."
"Hehe, but I’m still not at ease."
"You little supervisor."
"..."
The mother and son joked for a while before the office door knocked.
"Co in."
Lin Qian gestured for Chu Ziyang to go inside, and he obediently went in.
The secretary ca in after pushing open the door, "Vice President Lin, there’s a girl downstairs claiming to be your sister wanting to see you."
Your sister?
Apart from Mi Xue’er, who else could it be?
But if it was Mi Xue’er, she wouldn’t be waiting downstairs for Lin to see her.
Lin Qian was montarily stunned, "She said she’s my sister? Did she give her na?"
"She said her last na is Pei."
Pei?
Lin Qian’s eyes sparkled, a girl’s image flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized.
It was the girl Pei Ling who was kidnapped with her!
Lin Qian smiled and quickly said, "I know, please let her co up."
It was Pei Ling who ca!
That beautiful girl, did she consider her an older sister?
Lin Qian smiled warmly. Soon, the sound of footsteps ca, and a youthful, vibrant girl walked in.
"Lin!"
Pei Ling giggled and extended her arms to Lin Qian.
"Lingling! You really ca to see !"
Lin Qian returned a big hug.
"Yes, surprised? Happy?"
Pei Ling smiled brightly, tilting her head with her beautiful eyes blinking.
"Mm, surprised and happy, please sit."
Lin Qian pulled Pei Ling to sit on the sofa.
"Mommy, who ca?"
Chu Ziyang couldn’t hold back his curiosity and poked his head out again.
Lin Qian opened her mouth to speak, but Pei Ling exclaid.
"Wow, what a cute little boy! Co, co to sister!"
Pei Ling waved to Chu Ziyang with her beautiful almond eyes sparkling.
Chu Ziyang glanced at Lin Qian, and with her consent, he stepped forward.
"Lingling, this is my son, Chu Ziyang. Ziyang, this is Pei Ling, call her.....Auntie."
Lin Qian introduced them.
She wanted to say sister, but then thought if Pei Ling called her sister, and if her son called Pei Ling sister too, it would be too confusing!
"Uh, Auntie? Oh yes, I should be Auntie! So just call Auntie!"
Pei Ling blinked her eyes, like reciting a tongue-twister, smiling as she took Chu Ziyang’s small hand, "Wow, you look even more handso up close! You’re called Ziyang, aren’t you? Sister.....I an, Auntie didn’t bring any gifts. I’ll buy you candies later."
Chu Ziyang: "..."
He’s not that young; he doesn’t want candies!
And, wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.
"Hello, Auntie, I’m afraid of cavities, so I don’t eat candies."
Chu Ziyang freed Pei Ling’s hand and moved to Lin Qian’s side.
"Hehe, the little cutie talks so seriously! He must be just like his dad, right?"
Pei Ling liked Chu Ziyang more and more, "Lin, he really resembles that big brother who ca to pick you up at the border last ti, so the little cutie must be your son with that big brother! And he’s just one of them!"
"Yes."
Lin Qian didn’t deny it, smiling as she ruffled Chu Ziyang’s little head.
"Wow, where are the other two kids? Are they also as cute as this little one? Lin, do you have their photos? Let see."
Pei Ling was very curious, full of amusent.
Lin Qian chuckled, just pulling out her phone to show Pei Ling photos of her other two darlings, when the office door knocked again.
Lin Qian’s expression slightly focused, she called out for them to co in.
The secretary walked in, looking a bit troubled, "Vice President Lin, a client suddenly visited, but President Chu just left, so....."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian was montarily stunned, just about to speak, when Pei Ling quickly said, "Lin, go handle your work, don’t worry about . I have the little guy here to keep company."
No need to neglect important matters to entertain her.
Lin Qian glanced at her, eting her earnest and bright eyes, she smiled and nodded.
"Alright, Lingling, sit here for a while. I’ll take you out for a al when I finish."
"Okay." Pei Ling nodded with a smile.
Lin Qian looked at Chu Ziyang, "Ziyang, can mommy ask you to help entertain the guest?"
"Sure."
Chu Ziyang looked Pei Ling over, then nodded.
Although this aunt was a bit too lively, she seed to have a good relationship with mommy, so he could extend his goodwill to her, too.
