If Zhu Qianying were as servile as Qin Xiu and the others, she wouldn't be called Zhu Qianying!
"Why should I go pick them up? I've never met Madam Yan or Mr. Yan before, and for the time being, I have no relationship with Young Master Yan at all. Why should I go pick them up myself? It's not appropriate, either in terms of manners or logic!"
Zhu Qianying spoke with such confidence that even the usually eloquent and all-around assistant was stunned, unable to find a suitable reason to refute her, let alone persuade her.
Indeed, given the current situation, her position is somewhat awkward.
She wasn't even a friend of Yan Shao, so how was she supposed to introduce herself when she picked up the two elders at the airport?
Say, "Hello, I am the wife candidate personally selected by Young Master Yan?"
This is ridiculous!
Not to mention Mrs. Yan and Mr. Yan couldn't accept it, even his special assistant found it very strange!
Seeing that her assistant remained silent, Zhu Qianying assumed he was trying to figure out how to persuade her, so she spoke again.
"Mr. Qin, tell me, when I see them, who should I say I am? Should I say I'm Young Master Yan's friend? Or his girlfriend? Or should I just say, 'I'm your future daughter-in-law'? It's one thing for Young Master Yan to say these words, but it means something else when I say them. Any parent would see it as a provocation and a show of force if they heard a strange woman say such things. What else could they think besides cursing me for being arrogant and ill-mannered?"
The assistant was once again rendered speechless.
In the past, he often felt that Young Master Yan was definitely the most difficult boss to serve in the world. To deal with Young Master Yan, one had to use all of his brain cells to keep up with his meticulous and quick thinking and to understand his unpredictable and ever-changing thoughts.
The woman right now, whom Young Master Yan has personally acknowledged will become his wife, possesses logic and thinking that, while perhaps not quite on par with Young Master Yan's, are certainly not much weaker.
He could almost foresee that his future was bleak. Spending all his time with those two, he wasn't even sure he'd survive.
"Miss Zhu, what do you mean?"
The usually eloquent and quick-witted all-around assistant was unknowingly persuaded by Zhu Qianying and quickly switched sides.
Zhu Qianying said matter-of-factly, "Either Yan Shao comes with me to pick him up, or he goes by himself. Anyway, I definitely won't go alone!"
What appears to be a simple airport pickup is actually a matter of great concern to Zhu Qianying, who sees the implications very clearly.
Speaking of the Yan family, from Old Master Yan to Old Madam Yan and then to Young Master Yan, each of them is a powerful figure who can turn the tide at will.
Ordinary people talk about them with great enthusiasm. But when it comes to actually facing them face to face, everyone's legs tremble uncontrollably. Zhu Qianying never wanted to gain or lose any of the three of them, and of course, she couldn't afford to.
Yan Shao's choice of wife has become known throughout the country.
His purpose was not to choose a wife at all, but to make those who were trying to force him to marry understand that there was no woman in this world who met his requirements or caught his eye.
In other words, he never intended to get married from the very beginning, because when he designed this wife-selection contest, he never thought there would be any "survivors".
Therefore, he was actually an unwelcome and troublesome person in Yan Shao's eyes.
If she hadn't taken the initiative and not allowed him to argue back yesterday, he would probably have just given her a sum of money and sent her away.
However, just because he himself couldn't go back on his word doesn't mean he wouldn't use his parents to "get rid of" her.
After all, listening to one's parents is a virtue, more so than keeping one's word.
Giving up one's credit to respect one's parents' wishes may not sound good, but at least it earns one the reputation of a filial son. It also allows one to get rid of women one doesn't like and dispel one's parents' pressure to get married. Why not do something that kills three birds with one stone?
While Zhu Qianying thoroughly analyzed the intricacies of this seemingly trivial matter, Yan Shao's all-powerful assistant was still pondering a countermeasure with his head down.
The assistant was in a difficult position regarding Zhu Qianying's suggestions and requests.
Firstly, it was Young Master Yan who personally instructed her and Uncle Hai to pick up the two elders. As his special assistant, he was only responsible for carrying out the orders. Now that she refused to go, he was definitely failing in his duties.
Secondly, whether or not Young Master Yan should pick up the two elders is not something he, as the special assistant, can decide. She said she wanted Young Master Yan to go with her, which is not just making things difficult for him, but killing him.
"Miss Zhu, this... I can't make that decision."
Qin Xiu looked troubled, but his attitude towards Zhu Qianying was extremely respectful. After all, she was very likely to become his boss. Having witnessed her various abilities, Qin Xiu no longer dared to underestimate her in the slightest.
Zhu Qianying glanced at him thoughtfully, understanding his unspoken meaning: whether she went or not, and how she went, was up to her to negotiate with Yan Shao herself; he was merely responsible for relaying the words to her like a parrot.
After confirming that her assistant was very loyal, Zhu Qianying abandoned her original plan and looked around the large living room, but could not find any trace of Yan Shao.
"How about this? Please tell Young Master Yan that I want to see him."
Zhu Qianying was well aware of her own limitations. If Qin Xiu hadn't helped her convey the message, she would have had absolutely no chance of finding Young Master Yan in this hotel-sized building on her own.
Qin Xiu watched her silently, and after realizing that he had no chance of persuading her to go to the airport alone to pick up the two elders, he finally took out his phone and dialed.
"Master, Miss Zhu wishes to see you."
Zhu Qianying said "want to see him," but Qin Xiu slightly modified it to "want to see you." "Want" and "want" are completely different attitudes and concepts. In Qin Xiu's memory, only Madam Yan dared to say "want to see" Young Master Yan so confidently.
Others, they only ever dared to say "I want to see you".
"I'm busy!"
On the other end of the phone, Young Master Yan expressed his refusal succinctly and forcefully.
Qin Xiu sighed inwardly. He knew that making this call would put him in a difficult position as well.
Qin Xiu glanced at Zhu Qianying, who had somehow taken out a book and was quietly reading it as if it were none of his business. He stood up, walked to a corner where Zhu Qianying couldn't hear him, and then forced himself to speak into the microphone in a low voice.
"Sir, Miss Zhu is unwilling to go to the airport with Uncle Hai to pick up Madam Yan and Mr. Yan."
"Tie her up!" This simple and brutal approach is usually highly efficient and perfectly suited to Yan Shao's personality.
Moreover, Qin Xiu believed that he wasn't just talking the talk, but was actually going to walk the walk.
"But……"
"But what? Aren't you omnipotent? Don't tell me you can't even handle a woman!"
Yan Shao's tone was clearly tinged with anger. After speaking in an unfriendly tone, he hung up the phone.
