Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Co to the Secretary’s Office and Have a al with Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Co to the Secretary’s Office and Have a al with Zong Yue looked at Li Qiao hesitantly, “I still haven’t figured it out, and I don’t even know what I can do…”
She had no work experience, and aside from her past military career, she wasn’t even sure what she was good at.
At this ti, Li Qiao lowered her eyes in contemplation, “I rember your major in college was political science?”
Zong Yue nodded, “My grandfather chose this major for ; he wanted to work in a governnt organization, but…
I still wanted to be a soldier, so I signed up without telling him.”
A trace of a smile crossed the depths of Li Qiao’s eyes, she understood Zong Yue a little better now.
Her sister-in-law indeed only seed gentle and virtuous, but in reality, she was more stubborn than anyone else.
With so thought, Li Qiao then brought up a key question, “Does big brother have any suggestions?”
Zong Yue puffed her cheeks, her gaze flickered a few tis, “I haven’t talked to him about it yet.”
Li Qiao: “…”
She watched Zong Yue leisurely, teasingly said, “You want to make the decision first and report later?”
“Not really.” Zong Yue scratched at the hair on the top of her head, “Mainly because I don’t know what I can do, so I wanted to hear your advice first.”
Li Qiao raised an eyebrow, “Then I suggest you talk to big brother first.
If he agrees, I might be able to help you find a job.”
“Really?” Zong Yue smiled joyfully, suddenly becoming a bit restless, “Then I’ll give him a call right now…”
Li Qiao didn’t even have the chance to say more before she watched Zong Yue pick up her phone and hurriedly head out to the garden.
Before long, Duan Shuyuan returned to the living room with so fruits, looking around, “Did Xiao Yue leave?”
“No, she’s out making a call.” Li Qiao pursed her lips towards the window outside.
Duan Shuyuan caught a glimpse and then naturally sat down on the sofa, handing over a slice of orange.
Li Qiao took it with her left hand, while her right hand stayed in her pocket, aningfully asking, “Mom, how has grandfather been lately?”
Duan Shuyuan wiped her hands with a napkin, “He’s doing well, I called him a few tis, the old man seems quite happy.”
Li Qiao chewed the orange, curled her lips, and turned to look out the window.
Indeed, grandfather hadn’t told mom and dad about hiring a lawyer.
…
Outside in the garden, Zong Yue held her phone and sent Li Jun a WeChat ssage first.
As it neared five o’clock, she wasn’t sure if he was still busy.
Shortly after the WeChat ssage was sent, Li Jun quickly called her back.
Zong Yue smiled, sitting under a garden pergola, and as soon as she answered, his deep voice ca through, “What’s up, you’re looking for ?”
“Nothing major, are you free right now?”
Actually, Zong Yue rarely called Li Jun during his work hours; one reason was fear of disturbing him, and the second…
she was worried about being too clingy and annoying him.
At the mont, Li Jun pinched the bridge of his nose, not imdiately answering Zong Yue, but covered the receiver and called over his secretary.
Half a minute later, he gestured for the secretary to leave and returned the phone to his ear, “I’m free, co over.”
“Huh?” Zong Yue hadn’t caught on, and her heartbeat quickened a bit, he wouldn’t be asking her to co to the Secretariat to et him, would he?
Ever since they had t, she had never been to his place of work.
Laughter spilled from Li Jun’s lips, “Didn’t you say you had sothing to discuss with ?
I’m free now, co to the Secretariat and have dinner with ; we can talk about your issue.”
Zong Yue’s eyes brightened and the corners of her mouth lifted uncontrollably, “Okay, I’m heading over now.”
“Hmm, no rush, drive safely.”
After hanging up the phone, Zong Yue felt like she was floating.
Especially Li Jun’s seemingly gentle words of caution that made her heart flutter with joy.
Even if…
that might have just been a casual remark.
Less than five minutes later, Zong Yue hurriedly greeted her and drove out in her sports car.
In the living room, Duan Shuyuan shook her head with a chiding smile, “This child looks so gentle, yet she does things so hastily.
This afternoon she ca over and told she wanted to learn cooking, your older brother is really fortunate to marry her.”
A lady born into nobility, yet willing to humble herself to cook and stew for her man.
As soone who had been there, Duan Shuyuan saw it all and her heart smiled at the thought.
Such a good daughter-in-law was indeed much better than Ye Yun back in the day.
…
South Sea Secretariat.
Zong Yue got out of the car in front of the stairs, and looking up at the solemn national emblem, she clenched her handbag nervously.
This was her first ti coming to Li Jun’s workplace, and amidst the nerves, she harbored a sense of anticipation.
She regulated her breathing, straightened her hair, and stepped up the stairs.
Just then, a woman in a black suit dress and high heels walked out of the hall.
Seeing Zong Yue, she nodded and approached, “Hello, Miss Zong, I am Secretary-General Li’s assistant, he instructed to co et you.”
“Thank you, sorry to trouble you.”
The woman, who appeared to be in her thirties, extended her arm politely in front of her, “You’re welco, please follow .”
In a mont, the assistant led Zong Yue into the Secretary-General’s office.
In the outer office area, everyone was engrossed in their work, the atmosphere both strict and quiet.
At that ti, Li Jun sat in front of a dark red desk, flipping through a report in his hands.
When he heard the assistant knock, he said “Co in” and set the report aside.
When Zong Yue walked in, she saw Li Jun leaning back in his chair with a tired look, pinching the bridge of his nose.
She stood at the doorway with her hands clutching her purse, looking at him, “Just finished work?”
Li Jun waved her over, and his tense face relaxed slightly, “Hmm, what would you like for dinner?”
Zong Yue approached him, set her purse on the table, and naturally moved behind his chair to gently massage his shoulders, “I’m good with anything, it’s up to you.”
Li Jun let out a comfortable sigh, closing his eyes to savor her tenderness, “Did you like the sushi restaurant we went to last ti, want to eat there again?”
“Sure.” Zong Yue looked down at the man’s head from behind, her gaze brimming with undisguised joy and adoration.
He still rembered she loved sushi.
A few minutes later, Li Jun took Zong Yue’s palm from over his shoulder, “Are your hands sore?”
“Not at all.” She followed his gesture to his side, looking at her hand being rubbed by his, her lips pursed slightly, her heart fluttering.
Though it’s hard to see fierce and exuberant love from him, this gentle and enduring companionship was even more exhilarating.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at a sushi restaurant near King’s Bay Villa.
Once seated, Li Jun ordered her favorite juice, “Is there sothing you wanted to discuss with ?”
Zong Yue looked at the handso and upright man across from her, his gaze so intense it left nowhere to hide.
She took a sip of barley tea and tilted her head, “I want to find a job out there, what do you think…?”
Find a job?
Li Jun’s brows, which were relaxed, furrowed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
He sat facing her, resting his hands on his knees, “Why the sudden desire to find a job?”
