Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Deliberately speaking into her ear
I didn't sleep well that night. When I woke up in the morning, we were both living under the same roof, but we still didn't say a word to each other.
The atmosphere was cold, freezing cold.
When they left for work, the two of them walked away from each other after getting out of the elevator.
One was preparing to take the subway, and the other was going to pick up the car from the parking space.
The community was a little distance from the subway station. Shortly after Qin Mian drove out of the community, he saw Zhu Yinglong walking in front of him.
If she just drove past him at this moment without any gesture of goodwill, the relationship would surely become even worse.
After hesitating for a moment, she pulled the car over, braked, lowered the window, and shouted at him on the sidewalk.
Several pedestrians who were hurrying to the subway station looked over.
On the contrary, Zhu Yinglong seemed not to hear it and continued walking straight along the sidewalk.
At this point, Qin Mian no longer cared about whether he was embarrassed or not, and continued to face it with gritted teeth.
She called the other person's name again seriously and in a higher voice.
Zhu Yinglong finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Qin Mian, who was calling him with his elbows on the car window.
Qin Mian wore light makeup and work clothes, typical workplace attire. With her delicate features and smooth and beautifully combed hair, she looked like a very representative urban beauty sitting in the car.
In a trance, Zhu Yinglong remembered that the first time he met her was three years ago, at the first meeting of SC Group's management trainees.
She was already very beautiful at that time, but she still had the immaturity of a fresh graduate from school, and looked like a girl who could be easily controlled.
In comparison, she is now more sophisticated, mature and ambitious.
And all of this is written on his face.
He now felt more and more that she was getting further and further away from him.
One day, when she has established herself as the CEO's secretary and meets more and more outstanding high-ranking men, perhaps she will no longer look down on him.
Compared to her ambitious and enterprising spirit over the years, he has lost too much fighting spirit in life and no longer has much desire to move up.
Just imagine being like now, doing a decent job and living a simple life.
But, obviously, Qin Mian didn't think so.
Her actions had already made it clear to him.
This increasingly distant distance that was out of his control made him panic and irritable.
Zhu Yinglong instinctively frowned, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone, "As the head of the IT department, I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to sit in the CEO's secretary's car."
As he said this, he turned around and strode towards the subway station without looking back.
Qin Mian was stunned for a moment, watching his back as he walked away, and thought silently for a long time.
She seemed to understand a little bit why Zhu Yinglong was unwilling to let her be the president's secretary.
Does he think that if she gets promoted, she will be above him?
Did this make him feel inferior?
She used to wonder why he didn't agree to such a good thing as a promotion and a raise.
Although she had roughly guessed this at that time, she was worried that she might have misunderstood the other party.
And at this moment, she seemed to have vaguely obtained a definite answer from the other party's sarcastic reaction.
**
After arriving at the company, Qin Mian first went to the administrative department.
She found Yang Min, explained that the car was broken, and asked him to replace it for her.
However, Yang Min refused to admit it.
"How is that possible?" She looked surprised, as if Qin Mian was framing her. "When I gave it to you, the car was clearly in good condition. You drove it away and broke it down, and now you're turning the tables and saying I was the one who arranged for you to have a broken car?"
"Secretary Qin, I know we've had some friction at work in the past, but you can't frame me just because you've been promoted and have a higher rank than me."
Yang Min said with a look of grievance, "The car is broken, you can just take it to be repaired, why do you have to do this?"
"Oh, but you broke the car yourself, so you have to pay for the repairs yourself." At this point, Yang Min couldn't hide her smug expression and almost laughed.
Qin Mian really didn't expect that she would set a trick for her in this matter.
No matter what she said now, she was higher in rank than her, so she thought she would be more restrained.
Unexpectedly, she dared to go against her.
very good!
Qin Mian gritted his teeth, it was time to make her pay a little price.
"Okay." She had a plan in mind, so she didn't argue with her anymore. She turned around and walked out.
The next second after she turned around and walked out of the administrative department, Yang Min behind her couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth.
In her opinion, it didn't matter if Qin Mian got promoted. He was not in charge of their administrative department directly, and it was not her turn to give her orders. If she wanted to retaliate against her, she had to have a chance. Now, Qin Mian was the one she dealt with first, and she felt really relieved.
Seeing that Qin Mian didn't even argue with her, she really thought that he couldn't do anything to her and could only swallow her anger.
And that very afternoon.
Qin Mian needed to accompany Si Tu to meet the team of Shen Muzhou's company. According to business practices, she should arrange a driver to pick them up. However, thinking about what Yang Min had done to her, she decided to use this opportunity to fight back.
So, when she was about to send a message to the driver, she changed her mind and told him not to go.
"I'll just take Mr. Si there. You can go home and rest early."
The driver was very grateful. "Okay, thank you, Secretary Qin."
Qin Mian curled his lips and said, "You're welcome."
After sending the message, Si Tu also came out of the independent office inside.
He was wearing a tie. Qin Mian looked up from his phone, said hello, stood up from his seat, opened the drawer, and took out the key to the Mercedes-Benz.
Then, she accompanied Si Tu into the elevator, went downstairs, and then led Si Tu into the Mercedes-Benz.
Before getting in, Si Tu looked at the car suspiciously. Seeing how shabby it was, he turned around and asked, "Is this the car you got?"
"Yes, Mr. Si." Qin Mian held the car door for him and nodded. Today he was going to meet Chen Muzhou, a childhood friend of his and a high school classmate. There was no need for ceremony, so he didn't say anything, bent down, and got in.
However, not long after he sat down, he began to feel disgusted with everything. He glanced around, and his disgust was completely revealed.
In front, Qin Mian opened the driver's door and bent down to sit in.
Si Tu looked up at her and swallowed back the words of disgust that were about to come out of his mouth.
Qin Mian glanced in the rearview mirror, reminded him to fasten his seat belt, and then started the car.
The sun was still scorching the city, and as soon as the car left the underground garage, it quickly became extremely hot.
Si Tu turned his head and looked towards the driver's seat, "Secretary Qin."
"Yes, Mr. Si." Qin Mian responded while driving seriously.
Si Tu stared at the back of her head, "Aren't you hot?"
"Oh, I'd forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it!" Qin Mian seemed surprised. "I was busy driving. Sorry."
As she spoke, she reached out and turned on the air conditioner.
Then, she seemed surprised and said, "Oh no, the air conditioner seems to be broken."
"I'm so sorry." She hurriedly explained to Si Tu, "I picked up the car yesterday afternoon, and I didn't expect the air conditioner to be broken."
Si Tu was so hot that he was speechless. He raised his hand and loosened his tie, "What a crappy car."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Si, I..." She was sincere and full of guilt.
"It's none of your business." Si Tu turned around and rolled down the car window. "Why don't you get a better car?"
"I don't understand this either. Manager Yang from the Administration Department arranged this for me." Qin Mian turned the steering wheel, appearing to be nonchalant and speaking innocently.
"Manager Yang?" Si Tu frowned.
Qin Mian looked in the rearview mirror and observed his reaction, "Yes."
Si Tu narrowed her eyes slightly, vaguely remembering that the receptionist had tried to embarrass her because of the clock-in issue, and the receptionist was from the administration department. In addition, that day, Manager Yang from the administration department brought the director to her department to hold her accountable.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, and instantly understood the purpose of her doing this today.
She will use him to deal with the manager of the administrative department. Well, she is worthy of being the woman that Si Tu likes.
He curled his lips and smiled, but pretended not to know and agreed with her: "Then this Manager Yang is really derelict in his duty. He can't even do such a simple vehicle management!"
When Qin Mian heard this, he pursed his lips and tried not to laugh.
"How do you think it would be best to punish her?"
"Then you definitely won't get this month's bonus," Qin Mian quickly added. "Also, to prevent this kind of problem from happening again, every vehicle in the group should undergo a comprehensive inspection and submit a report for record."
Although he was using the other party's power to punish him, Qin Mian was indeed standing on the company's side. Si Tu couldn't help but smile, nodded, and said, "You are right, let President Zhou make the arrangements."
Mr. Zhou, Director of Administrative and Human Resources, Zhou Shumin.
"Okay!" Qin Mian agreed with a smile.
"What about you?" Having said that, Si Tu changed the subject.
Qin Mian glanced at him in the rearview mirror again, not quite sure what he meant, and said a brief "Hmm?"
"Do you have a car you like?" Si Tu crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly, and observed her profile. "I'd like to buy you a new one. What do you think?"
When Qin Mian heard him say this, he almost couldn't help laughing.
But she still pursed her lips hard, controlled her expression, rolled her eyes, and said with restraint, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Si. I don't have much desire for these cars or anything like that, but when I think about the future, I will inevitably have to pick you up like today. I don't mind, but I don't want you to be wronged, so I think it is really necessary to equip you with a spare car."
Si Tu couldn't help laughing as he listened to her words.
"Yes, it is indeed necessary." Otherwise, it would be a waste of her time and effort. Si Tu smiled and promised, "You choose, and then go buy it."
"Okay!" Qin Mian agreed immediately, and the corners of his lips could no longer help but rise.
Even his voice revealed some unconcealable excitement and joy of success.
Si Tu tilted his head to look at her, and unconsciously, he started laughing too.
About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the restaurant we had booked.
The restaurant is also owned by the SC Group. Knowing that the president was coming, the store manager kept track of the time and waited at the door.
Qin Mian followed his boss out of the car and walked towards the private room on the second floor amidst greetings and smiling faces.
Not long after, Shen Muzhou and his team members arrived.
"Boss Si." Shen Muzhou walked behind and was the first to say hello.
Si Tu turned around when he heard the voice, and Qin Mian stopped and turned to meet Shen Muzhou's eyes.
He recognized her and walked forward with a smile, greeting her, "Secretary Qin."
As he spoke, he looked at Si Tu again, with a hint of ambiguity and teasing in his eyes.
Si Tu understood tacitly, put his hands in his pockets, smiled and joked with him.
Then, he raised his hand and invited Shen Muzhou and his group to enter the box first.
Turning back inadvertently, Si Tu suddenly saw that people from the IT department were also coming up the stairs.
Seeing that Zhu Yinglong was also among them, Si Tu curled his lips with a smile.
"Secretary Qin." He suddenly spoke.
Qin Mian was standing behind him and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Si."
Si Tu turned his head and leaned close to her ear to say a few words.
When several people from the IT department came up, they suddenly saw this scene and stopped in unison.
From this angle, one could only see Si Tu's smooth jawline, as if he was whispering to Qin Mian, looking extremely intimate and ambiguous.
Everyone in the IT department knew that Qin Mian was Zhu Yinglong's girlfriend.
The IT director and manager walking in front all turned their heads and looked at Zhu Yinglong.
Zhu Yinglong's face fell almost instantly.
