Chapter 39 Your secretary seems very...
[Host, try someone else and see if the male lead will be jealous.] At the critical moment, Haicha came up with an idea.
"Uh." Sheng Baili scratched his head, his long crow feathers drooping, and he shuddered slightly because of the difficulty in making a choice. "I think this Mr. Fu is pretty good."
"Fu Yiheng?" Xiao Chi leaned over to look. "His conditions are quite good, but he is a bit too old. He is considering getting married now."
"Oh." Sheng Baili was originally pointing at someone at random, and nodded casually after hearing Xiaochi's introduction.
"I heard that Master Fu has always been obsessed with his first love." Lu Zhouyan's chest rose and fell slightly, and his voice was cold and low, "I'm afraid it's not suitable."
"Hmm" Xiaochi raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't know about this.
"When I was studying in Country A, I was in the same project group as his first love girlfriend. I often heard girls tell each other that their ex-boyfriends were still thinking about them and wanted to get back together. There was even a case where the girl's boyfriend at the time was beaten by Master Fu and was threatened to leave the girl... I also found out about it accidentally." Lu Zhouyan said lightly.
"Wow." This melon was so delicious that Sheng Baili's eyes lit up while eating it.
After returning home, Bai Yueguang was forced to love by the prince, good good good.
Xiao Chi took away Fu Yiheng's information and asked Sheng Baili if he had any other favorites when choosing a concubine.
The secretary lowered her eyes and looked through them carefully, looking very distressed as she chose.
Is it so tangled?
Lu Zhouyan raised his head and asked in a cold voice.
"During working hours, you still have to focus on your work."
Sheng Baili: “…”
Sheng Baili stuffed the paper back to Xiaochi, "Thank you, Xiaochi, but I don't really want to fall in love at the moment. Mr. Lu is right, I should just focus on my work."
Koike smiled with relief and appreciation.
An assistant and a secretary began to work seriously.
But not long after, Sheng Baili received a strange message.
[Qiu: Secretary Sheng? I am Shen Qiuli, Lu Zhouyan’s mother. I met you in the group meeting room before. You went to the wrong place and thought I was HR.]
[Qiu: Are you free at 5pm today? Let’s chat.]
【Autumn: [Address]】
Sheng Baili blinked. What did the male protagonist's mother want to do with her?
Sheng Baili forwarded the message to his boss.
[Bai Liya: Boss, your mother wants to see me, do you think I should go?]
After a long time, Lu Zhouyan did not reply to the message. Ten minutes later, the office door was opened and Sheng Baili saw the boss walking out wearing a suit he had bought himself.
This may be the cheapest clothes Lu Zhouyan has ever worn, but with his face and figure, the quality of the clothes has been elevated to a higher level.
The size is just right, fitting Lu Zhouyan's slender and upright figure. His inner muscles are slightly bulging, and his vigorous sense of power is wrapped up in the clothes.
"Secretary Sheng." Lu Zhouyan took big steps, "If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, just refuse her. Don't worry about it. If my mother said something unpleasant, don't take it to heart. If you are unhappy, just block her."
Lu Zhouyan's voice was casual and lazy, and he put the initiative of decision-making in the hands of the secretary himself.
What could Shen Qiuli want from Sheng Baili?
It's just that he recently took away several big projects from the Lu Group, and Lu Yuanjia went to cry and pretend to be pitiful again. Shen Qiuli asked his secretary to find a roundabout way to persuade himself not to go against Lu Yuanjia.
Or maybe Lu Yuanjia asked Shen Qiuli to help him get married.
Thinking of Sheng Baili who was drugged that night, Lu Zhouyan's eyes darkened.
"It's nothing serious, don't worry." Lu Zhou Yan'an comforted her and stood up to attend the meeting.
[Host, shall we go?]
Sheng Baili thought about it and typed a reply.
【Bai Liya: Okay Madam, see you at five o'clock. 】
"Go ahead." Sheng Baili said, "You can catch fish for an hour, hehe."
-
At five o'clock, Sheng Baili came to the place where Shen Qiu got his hair cut.
It is a coffee shop with a beautiful environment.
"Secretary Sheng" Shen Qiuli recognized her from a distance.
"Hello, ma'am." Sheng Baili greeted her politely.
The girl tied her hair up completely, with a face shape that was very beautiful with her head covering her face. Her eyes were round but the inner corners of her eyes were pointed, like a cat. Her chin was pointed and her face was only as big as a palm.
The sunlight shone through the glass window onto her face. Her skin was white and transparent, like a perfect boiled egg, without a single blemish.
It is so delicate that even the fine hair on the face can be clearly seen.
Shen Qiuli lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.
It is indeed beautiful, no wonder her son likes it.
"Xiao Li, can I call you that?" Shen Qiuli asked.
Sheng Baili: "Madam, please feel free to do as you please."
"Yeah, that's right, Xiaoli." Shen Qiuli said, "You are together with Zhou Yan"
Shen Qiuli threw out a shocking statement.
For a moment, Sheng Baili thought he had heard it wrongly.
"......Ah, no, why do you think so?" Sheng Baili said.
Deny?
"Auntie, I'm just asking." Shen Qiuli lowered her eyes, thinking about something, and then handed the menu to Sheng Baili, "Whatever you want to eat, just order it. Auntie will treat you."
Sheng Baili ordered a large strawberry milkshake ice cream.
According to Yuanjia, Lu Zhouyan was together with his secretary.
Yuanjia accidentally offended the secretary, which made Lu Zhouyan angry, so the new company specifically went against the Lu Group, snatched several big projects from Yuanjia, and also pulled away all the investors, causing Yuanjia to suffer poor management in the previous month and lose a lot of money.
After the company suffered losses, Lu Yuan naturally couldn't be as generous as Lu Zhouyan and just give her 5 million to go out and play.
Shen Qiuli then became a little anxious.
But in the past 26 years, Shen Qiuli has never seen her cold son fall in love with anyone, so she was half-believing and half-doubting when Lu Yuanjia said that.
She originally thought that the woman was waiting for an opportunity to take over, but when she saw Secretary Sheng's innocent and confused look today, and his surprised expression didn't seem fake, she became unsure again.
Could it be that Lu Zhouyan is still having a one-sided crush on me?
In terms of looks, they were a good match. Shen Qiuli couldn't deny that Sheng Baili completely met her aesthetic standards.
But in terms of family background, Sheng Baili was just the child of a servant in the family. Even if Lu Zhouyan was no longer a child of the Lu family, they were still not a good match.
The ice cream arrived, served in a large glass, with large half-cut strawberries inside and pecans and other small ingredients sprinkled on top, giving it a rich layering.
Sheng Baili took a big bite of ice cream.
[It’s such a big cup, can you finish it? ] Haicha said.
[Host, it seems like your period is coming soon, why don’t you control it?]
"It's okay." Sheng Baili shrugged nonchalantly, "I never have menstrual cramps."
"Secretary Sheng, it's like this." Shen Qiuli thought for a few seconds and then went straight to the point.
"Zhou Yan has a strong sense of self-esteem. The fact that he has no blood relationship with his family may have hit him hard. It's normal that he can't accept it for a while."
"But it's not the same thing to go against the family all the time. He took away all the talents and backbones of the company, and snatched away the projects that Yuanjia wanted to do. He was cautious, ambitious, and ruthless. Yuanjia has lost hundreds of millions, but he didn't even think about his brother and didn't care about his family's feelings at all." Shen Qiuli said.
"Can you help my aunt persuade him?"
Sheng Baili: “…”
"Aunt."
Sheng Baili couldn't believe that Lu's mother would say that about Lu Zhouyan, she felt very upset.
"In the business world, the capable are at the top. Our boss is self-reliant and has developed his business step by step. In your words, he is cautious and ambitious."
Shen Qiuli was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to say that.
The rhetorical tone sounded somewhat sarcastic and resentful.
"Although our boss is not the real Mr. Lu, we have lived together for more than 20 years, and we should have some feelings for each other even if we have a dog. However, the boss's things were randomly placed in the messy room. Even though they knew he would be back for his birthday party, they did not arrange for the maid to clean up a clean room."
"Celebrating birthdays and singing birthday songs is exclusive to one person. On the surface, it sounds good to say that it is the birthday of two people together, but in reality, it is just to use the misery of one person to highlight the excitement and popularity of the other person, and watch one person being left out and sit on the bench without any reaction."
Sheng Baili paused and said in a cold voice, "Some people's intentions may be more terrible than our boss's."
Sheng Baili did not mention the name, but the insinuation was obvious.
Anyway, Lu Zhouyan has already said that if he is unhappy, he can just delete the friend and block him, so she has nothing to worry about.
People are so partial to the North Pole, and so thick-skinned that they probably don't mind her saying a few words.
Shen Qiuli sat in his seat with a slightly frozen expression.
"This should have nothing to do with Yuanjia." Shen Qiuli defended his son, "Zhou Yan has never liked living at home. The people at home were busy preparing things for his birthday those days and just forgot to help him clean up the new room."
Shen Qiuli made things worse the more he described.
"As for singing the birthday song, I didn't ask Zhou Yan to sing because I was afraid that he would be talked about by the guests. Anyway, he doesn't care about the ceremony and won't get angry."
Sheng Baili: “….”
It's ridiculous.
[I didn’t expect the hero to be such a poor guy… He’s been in a wealthy family for 20 years, so what, he still has such an amazing family.] Haicha sighed.
Sheng Baili frowned. After Shen Qiuli said those words, she felt that her expression changed.
Sometimes, it’s not really Lu Zhouyan’s fault that he doesn’t want to talk to them.
As I was lost in thought, a low and unfocused voice sounded from the side.
"What are you talking about?"
Sheng Baili turned her head and found that Lu Zhouyan was standing next to her. He was very close to her and Sheng Baili could smell the pleasant scent of agarwood on him.
Small animals also sniff with their noses.
Her eyes fell on the man's black leather shoes, and she saw from the trouser legs all the way to the metal buckle belt, and above was the full chest, collarbone, and Adam's apple.
Sheng Baili's gaze moved up unconsciously, and finally... met Lu Zhouyan's dark eyes.
What is she doing?
While Lu Zhouyan didn't notice, Sheng Baili quickly looked away.
She didn't notice that after she looked away, the corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly.
"Nothing. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wanted to talk to your secretary about your recent situation." Shen Qiuli said.
Since Lu Zhouyan left the group, he has never given him a penny, so Shen Qiuli's attitude was not very enthusiastic.
"Yeah." Lu Zhouyan said calmly, "Are you done now?"
The talk was over, but Secretary Sheng hadn't finished his ice cream yet.
Before leaving, Sheng Baili waited for the boss outside the door, staring at the ice cream he had not finished through the glass window.
Lu Zhouyan and Shen Qiuli were talking inside. Judging from their lip movements, Shen Qiuli was asking questions non-stop and Lu Zhouyan was simply replying with a few words.
"Zhou Yan, you are 26 years old. I don't object to you having a relationship. Besides, Secretary Sheng is really beautiful. It's not surprising that you are attracted to her."
"And your secretary is very protective of you. I just said a few words and she started to talk back, as if you had suffered a great injustice and she felt sorry for you." Shen Qiuli said jokingly.
"That's all." Shen Qiuli changed her tone and put on a motherly attitude, "You can have fun, but you still have to find someone who is a good match for you in the end."
Even though the engagement was broken off by the Ji family, Lu Zhouyan still had the ability to find another rich lady.
The old man attaches great importance to the concept of family background. Lu Zhouyan is not a child of the Lu family. If he finds a poor secretary and follows Lu Quan's old path, there will be no possibility for him to get a share of the family property.
Although Shen Qiuli has Lu Yuanjia to rely on, both of them are her sons. It is better to give the child to Lu Zhouyan than to other relatives, as it will provide an extra layer of security.
"Mom." Lu Zhouyan's cold and slightly unhappy voice sounded slowly.
"I won't bother you with my personal affairs."
Sheng Baili stood outside for five or six minutes, getting bored of waiting and looking down at his phone for a while.
A cup of ice cream suddenly appeared in sight.
Sheng Baili looked up in surprise, and Lu Zhouyan was standing beside her silently again.
I don't know if he walked too lightly or Sheng Baili was too relaxed, but he didn't notice any movement.
"Thank you, boss!" Sheng Baili thanked him in a deep voice.
The colder the weather, the more I like ice cream.
The vanilla and matcha flavors selected by Lu Zhouyan were all very fragrant. Sheng Baili lowered his head and ate them bite by bite.
“Very full.”
Sheng Baili finished her meal quickly and threw the rubbish into the trash can. She reached out and touched her stomach, and found an almost unnoticeable bulge in her lower abdomen.
Only if you look carefully can you detect that slightly convex curve.
I am full after a few bites of ice cream.
Lu Zhouyan glanced at it casually.
The waist is so narrow and thin, and the stomach is flat without a trace of fat, but it bulges out after eating a little.
The secretary is so young, she really shouldn't have a love relationship.
