After receiving such a complicated order, his assistant couldn't help but ask Qin Yan a question.

"Mr. Qin, didn't you used to eat all of these?"

Qin Yan replied in a good mood, "If someone can't finish it, you must order it carefully for me. If you do a good job, your salary will double this month."

The assistant quickly replied solemnly, "I guarantee to complete the mission, Mr. Qin."

People were chatting in the group. Qin's Company had countless groups: some for gossip, some for elites, some for secretaries, some for senior executives, some for each department, and some like their own slacking-off group.

Just then, someone in the "slacking off" group was chatting, and he casually took a picture of his food and posted it in the group.

"I ordered a really special meal for President Qin today, because I heard someone is coming."

He just said that, and everyone in the group stopped slacking off and started guessing who it was. They guessed one by one, but no one could figure it out. However, some people in the group did have some information.

[I just went upstairs to hand in some documents and overheard the people in the secretary's office chatting. The person who came in is President Qin's fiancée!]

[Really? Really? When did Mr. Qin get a fiancée? How come I didn't know?]

[President Qin has always had a fiancée, right? I heard she's the eldest daughter of the Yun family, but she's frail and sickly, and hasn't appeared in the public eye much in recent years.]

I've heard that too. Didn't President Qin attend the Xiao family's charity gala last time? It's said that the woman he brought along was his fiancée.

I simply can't imagine what it's like for President Qin to get along with his fiancée. President Qin doesn't seem like the type of person who would be involved in something like love.

Who knows, even the hardest steel can soften into the softest silk; perhaps our CEO Qin is a hidden romantic?

The assistant hadn't expected everyone to be so interested. With a gossipy curiosity, he grabbed the food and headed to the company, arriving just in time to see President Qin's car.

He lagged behind by a step and saw the car door open. President Qin got out first, then turned around and reached out her hand. A pale, bloodless hand was placed in President Qin's palm. President Qin lowered his head and helped her tidy her disheveled hair before leading her into the company.

"Why did you lead me through the lobby? I saw on TV that people take a private elevator from the parking lot to the top."

Yun Nuan looked at the people coming and going in the hall and asked,

Some people kept glancing at the two of them. It was past lunchtime and they should have been resting, so there should have been fewer people around. He was just trying his luck and led them through the main entrance. Qin Yan kept his own thoughts to himself.

He held her hand reassuringly and said, "It's too shady down in the parking lot. I'm worried you might not be able to handle it. If you're nervous, you can hide behind me."

With his head tilted to the side as he spoke to her, she became more visible to others, so she tried to shrink herself away and hide behind him.

Little did she know that her action caused those who were secretly watching to cover their mouths and scream, resulting in a frenzy of comments in the "slacking off" and "gossip" groups.

[President Qin's fiancée is so cute! She's shyly hiding behind him.]

[Wow, President Qin is spoiling his fiancée so much! I couldn't help but laugh when I heard him say the underground parking lot was shady. He's clearly just trying to show off his fiancée, and he's using such a lame excuse.]

[Upstairs, the key point is that she believed it. Is President Qin's fiancée really that naive? She actually believed it!]

I saw her face clearly, wow!

[I saw her too! Her face is so small, her skin is so fair, her eyes are so big. She looks like a porcelain doll. Oh my god, that long hair, so thick and shiny! I'm so envious of her because I'm losing hair.]

Putting everything else aside, I really like her hairstyle; she looks like a real-life BJD doll! And didn't you guys notice that all her clothes are limited edition?

Oh, they've gone into the elevator, we can't see them anymore.

After Qin Yan led his entourage into the private elevator, the mirror reflected the smile on his lips, but he quickly composed himself before Yun Nuan could look over.

"I sent Acheng back to get the medicinal food. After eating, he can rest in the lounge. I have a few meetings this afternoon and then I'll be done."

She was replying to messages on her phone. Jiang Miao didn't know that she had been taken away by Grandpa Qin earlier, but asked her if she needed to prepare anything.

Yun Nuan thought for a moment, realizing that going to Huaxi Village only required bringing her there. She replied, "No need."

Qin Yan didn't hear her reply. He turned around and saw her staring blankly at her phone. He held out his hand and waved it in front of her.

"Did you faint from hunger?"

She put away her phone, the elevator doors opened, and she replied calmly.

"Whatever you say, I'll do as you say."

He stepped forward to observe her complexion; it hadn't turned red or shown any unusual signs. Yun Nuan, seeing that he was overly worried, pretended to be angry.

"Are you hoping I'll get sick? Stop looking at me, I'll tell you if I get a fever."

The secretarial office, which was supposed to be resting, stopped taking a break during lunch and pretended to be working. When the elevator arrived, they picked up documents and pretended to ask the people next to them questions, or stood by the printer, trying to see who was coming as soon as possible.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Qin Yan led the woman out. She was no longer as reserved as before. But as soon as they stepped out, she felt many eyes watching them again.

Looking up, she saw several employees busy with their own tasks, and then she noticed a sign that read "Secretary's Office" in large characters.

She nodded knowingly. So Qin Yan had so many secretaries. Television doesn't always portray it. In TV dramas, the domineering CEOs usually only have a special assistant and a secretary.

In reality, Qin Yan has a super luxurious team of secretaries, and each of them looks very capable, and they all seem familiar to her.

That was Qin Yan at work, calm and sharp. But she seemed to see someone secretly waving and smiling at her.

She quietly raised her hand in greeting, and when she smiled, her dimples were impossible to hide. Qin Yan tightened his grip on her hand, and then he spoke to the people in the secretary's office.

"Take a good rest during your lunch break."

After saying that, he quickly pulled the person into the office, and the people in the secretary's office were stunned for a moment before they realized what Qin Yan had said.

Cindy exclaimed in surprise, "My God! I've been with the company for so long, and this is the first time I've ever heard President Qin say something like that! Holy crap, could it be that he tricked Miss Yun into his hands?!"

Julie walked up with the printed white paper and joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing).

"You know what, just like everyone said, Miss Yun is like a porcelain doll, so beautiful. President Qin probably managed to win her over."

Mo Xing: "After being here for so long, I can finally get some gossip about President Qin. I bet President Qin's last sentence was an attempt to win over Miss Yun and show that he is a good boss who cares about his employees."

Cindy remained silent for a while before hesitatingly speaking.

"But the salary that President Qin pays is really high. Although President Qin has a bad temper, it's because he was forced to by those shareholders. When our boss first took over the company, he was quite gentle."

Mo Xing thought about it. They were all handpicked and recruited by President Qin. It was difficult at the beginning. Such a large company was not willing to accept a young man who had just returned from abroad as its manager.

Back then, President Qin wasn't as intimidating as he is now. To keep those shareholders in check, his methods became increasingly ruthless and sophisticated, until now he's been dubbed a cold-faced devil by outsiders.
