Secretary Wang nodded, stuffing the car keys into her hand, then his face clouded over with difficulty: “Could I… perhaps use the restroom?”
This was all thanks to their boss, Qin Zhiyou. Early in the morning, he himself had gone to pick him up, then returned to the company, then made a round trip back to the West Mountain Villas to fetch the car. Hours had already passed. He had run back and forth twice, didn’t humans have needs too?
Xiaochen chuckled, and gestured in the direction of the restroom. Secretary Wang hurried off imdiately.
He erged a short while later, looking a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Xiaochen was still waiting outside. She handed him a glass of water when he ca out: “Warm water. Go ahead.”
Secretary Wang nodded in thanks, taking a sip. Xiaochen leaned in close, her voice dropping to a soft whisper: “So, just a quick gossip… You’re really not pursuing our Lu Engineer?”
He even had her keys!
And she had just confird it, Secretary Wang had indeed returned in Lu Engineer’s car! What kind of close relationship did it take for a man to use a single woman’s car so early in the morning, and even to return her car keys afterward? She didn’t believe it if they said there was nothing going on!
Secretary Wang was so startled that he choked on a cough. Xiaochen handed him a tissue. He used it to wipe his mouth: “No, really, it’s not like that. Don’t talk about and Lu… Engineer like that.”
He turned his head to look at Xiaochen, who was squinting sceptically. After glancing left and right, he whispered, “I’ll only tell you if you swear not to tell anyone else.”
Xiaochen imdiately raised three fingers to the sky and swore, “If I tell anyone else, I’ll gain twenty pounds this month!”
Convinced by such a solemn oath, Secretary Wang whispered back, “It’s actually my boss who…”
“He’s pursuing Lu Engineer?” Xiaochen suddenly rembered, there had been a figure of a man in the backseat of the rcedes, although she couldn’t make out who it was.
“Yes, he’s been trying hard.”
“And he hasn’t succeeded yet?” Xiaochen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
It wasn’t just that he hadn’t succeeded yet, he’d been married for five years and still hadn’t succeeded. Secretary Wang nodded cryptically.
Lu Engineer was really sothing! Xiaochen’s eyes lit up. She noticed there were water spots on Secretary Wang’s suit from his recent choking. She took out another tissue to dry it for him. Most people associated with Lu Engineer were won; n were rare. They interacted like this on a daily basis, so there was no problem. However, for outsiders, particularly n, it seed a bit improper.
As she pressed her hand against the fabric of Secretary Wang’s suit, Xiaochen failed to realize what she had done at first, only to turn red shortly afterward. She withdrew her hand and lowered her head, embarrassingly toeing the ground. She didn’t dare look at him.
Secretary Wang turned redder as well, although he was practicing Qin Zhiyou’s mantra of facelessness, he was clearly flustered.
After what seed an eternity, he finally cleared his throat. “So, I should go now. About what just happened, you mustn’t tell anyone, especially Lu Engineer. And, if you bump into my boss, don’t tell him either. Otherwise, I’ll be off to Antarctica next month.”
Xiaochen nodded. Secretary Wang turned around, robotic in his actions, preparing to leave. Just as he was about to walk away, he turned back once more: “Your WeChat ID is ‘Orange Zhuqi’, right? I am ‘Wang Not See Wang’.”
Xiaochen let out an “eh”, catching her by surprise. Secretary Wang finally walked away, as if on his way to heroically sacrifice himself.
Upon returning to Hanhai Company and being three minutes behind the scheduled ti, Qin Zhiyou glanced at his watch. He surprisingly didn’t bring up the idea of sending him to Argentina. He rely shot him an indifferent glance: “I’ll note it down. We’ll clear it up all at once.”
Unexpectedly, Secretary Wang didn’t seem to mind at all. He even nodded with a beaming smile, like a man who just stumbled across a love charm..
