The distance of a perfect stand-in is the distance of a secretary.
Secretary vs. stand-in (if there’s something, the secretary will do it, if there’s nothing, do the secretary……cough,...
Quan Quan was hospitalized.
He was sent to the hospital by Huo Zhou. Huo Zhou was so ruthless that he punched people in the face. The doctor had to wrap Quan Quan's head like a pig's head, with only his eyes exposed in the bandages.
Of course, Huo Zhou himself did not gain any benefits. He and Quan Quan went to the hospital together for a fractured rib. It was obvious that Quan Quan did not give in to the other party just because he was the boss.
When Qiao Guangyu rushed to the hospital, it was already the third day since he was taken to the Wu family.
Old Master Wu was no longer in good health, but when he learned in his old age that he still had a son in his twenties, he was extremely happy. His face was rosy and radiant for several days, and he looked twenty years younger. He loved Qiao Guangyu so much that he wished he could always tie him to his belt and take him wherever he went.
An old kid, an old kid. After entering the Wu family, Qiao Guangyu did nothing else but to appease old man Wu. Wu Jun and Wu Yu were also happy to see this. The family members who had not had any contact for more than 20 years got together and they did not feel too much estrangement.
Qiao Guangyu persuaded the old man with many sweet words and finally persuaded him to give him a few days of free time.
After receiving the old man's pardon, Qiao Guangyu immediately took all the fruits and rushed to the hospital.
Quan Quan seemed to be in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth curled up under the bandages. When he saw Qiao Guangyu coming in, his eyes were especially gentle: "I knew you would come."
Qiao Guangyu felt distressed and sad. His eyes fell on the bandage on Quan Quan's face. He wanted to touch it but didn't dare to. "Why did you two fight?"
"It's all for you." Although he said that, Quan Quan didn't seem to complain at all. Instead, he seemed quite happy.
Qiao Guangyu looked at him worriedly: "...Were you beaten stupid by Huo Zhou?"
How can you be so happy after being beaten?
Quan Quan shook his head: "The boss wanted to go to Wu's house to find you, but I stopped him, and then we had a fight." To be honest, in terms of injuries, Huo Zhou's bone fracture is more serious. Although his skin injuries look scary, he will heal after about a week of rest.
"Thank...thank you." Qiao Guangyu said softly.
Even though he had the Wu family as his backer, Huo Zhou couldn't do anything to Qiao Guangyu. Even if Qiao Guangyu skipped the last two months, Huo Zhou could only accept it. But Quan Quan had no relationship with him at all, yet he was able to help him to this extent, which was already touching enough.
"Well, this is the first time I've offended my boss. You really should thank me." Quan Quan said as a matter of course.
"Then... I'll peel an apple for you." Qiao Guangyu found the best-looking apple from the fruit basket, took out a fruit knife, and sat beside the bed to peel it. At the same time, he did not forget to talk to Quan Quan, "What did you say to him? Mr. Huo doesn't look like a hot-tempered person, so why did you hit him?"
"Yes, we did say something." Quan Quan recalled for a few seconds, watching Qiao Guangyu peeling an apple with a gentle look in his eyes, "The boss said he likes you and wants to pursue you again, and I told him not to waste his energy."
Qiao Guangyu's eyes widened, as if it was the first day he met Quan Quan: "You, you, you...did you really say something so rude?!"
He was not shaken by Huo Zhou's liking for him. His focus was entirely on Quan Quan's tone. You should know that Quan Quan's previous secretary personality was quite perfect. Qiao Guangyu had never seen him speak in front of Huo Zhou or other people without the word "please", let alone such blatantly impolite words.
"Advice is hard to hear!" Quan Quan sighed exaggeratedly, "I explained to the boss point by point. First, the Wu family would never agree to you being together. Second, he keeps saying he likes you, but he doesn't know you very well. He doesn't even know that you like seafood and can't drink alcohol, let alone that you actually disdain his elegance. Finally, you left before the contract was over, and it will be even more impossible for him to keep you in the future because you don't like him at all."
These three points directly hit Huo Zhou's sore spot. Even the calmest and most rational person could not accept this bloody and sarcastic analysis.
Huo Zhou was so angry that he lost his mind. After the successive blows, he felt betrayed by everyone - Wu Yu, Qiao Guangyu, and his trusted right-hand man Quan Quan.
The feeling of being abandoned by everyone was not pleasant, so Huo Zhou started to beat Quan Quan.
Quan Quan was beaten, but he didn't speak as seriously as before, but with a sense of lightness: "I'm fired, Xiao Qiao."
"What's so funny about being fired?" Qiao Guangyu really didn't understand how this guy could still laugh. He was almost worried to death. "Then what are you going to do in the future? Aren't you obsessed with the position of secretary?"
Quan Quan seemed to think for a moment, then looked at Qiao Guangyu and said, "You hire me."
"What?"
"Boss Qiao, I will follow you from now on." Quan Quan changed his words naturally, "I am a very capable secretary. You will not suffer any loss if you hire me."
Qiao Guangyu: "...You must be kidding."
Quan Quan put away his smile and said seriously: "No, in fact, I also wrote a job application plan."
Quan Quan said, "I plan to use the five million first - oh, maybe only three million left now - to use this investment partnership to get closer to you. I will discuss the same thing with you over and over again, report to you on time every day, make you familiar with me, and then let you see my excellent work ability."
Qiao Guangyu: “…”
Quan Quan: "If this road doesn't work, then I'll play the emotional card. In the past few years, I've given you advice, tried to avoid Mr. Huo's attention, done psychological comfort, and helped you find your ancestral home. Even if I don't have any credit, I've worked hard, right? Oh, I even got beaten up, so I can play the victim in front of you and win your sympathy."
Qiao Guangyu: “…”
Quan Quan finally sighed, "If nothing works, I can only use the ultimate trick - the beauty trap. I will take off all my clothes, tie a bow on my body, find a courier box to stuff myself in and send myself to your house. Since I am still a little bit pretty, you will accept me, right?"
Quan Quan carefully observed Qiao Guangyu's facial expression. He didn't know whether such a direct confession would scare Qiao Guangyu.
Qiao Guangyu's focus was not on Quan Quan at this time. His lips moved several times, as if he wanted to say something. The apple in his hand was almost peeled, so he simply peeled off the last bit of skin. When Quan Quan reached out to take the apple, his hand suddenly slipped away from Quan Quan's.
He casually threw the apple and the knife into the fruit basket.
Suddenly, Qiao Guangyu lunged at Quan Quan and hugged him fiercely: "Take it, take it, take it! Who wouldn't want such a good secretary? I'll take ten of them!" He cried, "I thought you would ignore me after throwing me into the Wu family! You bastard!"
Quan Quan sucked in a breath, his bones aching from being strangled by Qiao Guangyu, but he couldn't bear to push him away, so he had to whisper in his ear: "I already regret dragging you into the relationship between Huo Zhou and Wu Yu. How can I let you stay alone in a wealthy family? What if you get gnawed by others? Your two brothers are not easy to deal with."
"Hmm!!" Qiao Guangyu hugged him tightly, wishing he could stuff Quan Quan into his body, melt him into his bones and blood and never separate them again, and in this way express his dependence on and full love for Quan Quan.
To some extent, the Wu family members are quite similar. They like to use large-area body contact to show their appreciation.
Quan Quan felt both pain and joy. He raised one arm with difficulty and touched Qiao Guangyu's soft hair.
"Also... ten secretaries are too many. One of you is enough."
