Su Ziqing took the blue rose from her hands, smiling like a young girl receiving flowers for the first time, and even lowered her head to smell it.
"Bring me the vase on the table," Su Ziqing said to the bodyguard who was pretending to be invisible.
The secretary only then noticed the strange man present.
If it weren't for the obvious bodyguard role, she would have suspected that Su Ziqing was hiding a man...
Su Ziqing placed the bouquet in a vase and then put it in a very conspicuous place in the living room. Clearly, she liked the bouquet very much.
The secretary thought that the person who sent the flowers to Su Ziqing had a chance...
Could it be Mr. Gong?
The flowers were signed "Jue," and Mr. Gong's name is Gong Chengjue, isn't it?
Ah, could it be that Miss Su and Mr. Gong... have gotten back together? But didn't they seem like they were at odds in the office just a few days ago?
"Where's the document?" Su Ziqing completely ignored her secretary's gossipy thoughts. She asked her secretary to bring her a document; she needed it.
The secretary snapped out of her daze, blinked, and wiped away the tears that had just welled up in her eyes. As she handed the documents to Su Ziqing, she asked with concern, "Ms. Su, are you... are you alright?"
"Do I look alright to you?" Su Ziqing glanced at her. "I won't be going back to the company for the next few days. If there are any documents that urgently need to be signed, just send them here."
The secretary nodded.
"Okay, let's go back first." Su Ziqing said, sitting down on the sofa in the living room.
"Miss Su, I just saw Miss Su the Second." The secretary felt she should tell Su Ziqing this news.
Su Ziqing was flipping through the documents when she heard this. She paused for a moment, then looked up at her secretary, her brows furrowing slightly. "When?"
"It was in the company's underground parking garage, and Miss Su Er met with Director Pei. They seemed to be talking about something, but I was too far away to hear it."
The secretary looked at Su Ziqing and said, "Miss Su didn't get out of the car at all; she just left the back window half open."
"The back seat?" Su Ziqing paused. "Wasn't she driving herself?"
"No, and Miss Su was riding in a black sedan."
A person's personality is discernible. Su Xiaoman was spoiled and extremely flamboyant from a young age. She wouldn't touch cars, especially sedans, and she would never like black, a color she considered old-fashioned.
"Ms. Su, regarding the investigation into the rumors, when I checked at the company just now, I found nothing, and in the end, we were back to square one." The secretary felt very useless as she said this.
Su Ziqing, however, was lost in thought.
What was Su Xiaoman doing in the company's underground parking garage at this time?
Even if you're meeting someone, you can always arrange to meet outside, right?
The important question is, did Su Xiaoman not leave City A?
She thought Su Xiaoman should be in the capital.
"Understood." Su Ziqing didn't expect her secretary to find out in a short time. "Keep investigating. I want to know who was the first to spread the news."
After the secretary left, Su Ziqing pinched her brow. Was Su Xiaoman turning her back on the light? Or what was she planning?
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard immediately looked at her and asked, "What are your orders, Miss Su?"
"Do you remember the bodyguard Su Xiaoman had with her at the department store in the capital?" Zhou Ruoling had reminded her that the bodyguard was not an ordinary one.
The bodyguard nodded.
"What's their background?" Well, she wasn't really going to care, but Su Xiaoman's repeated accusations clearly indicated she was going to keep causing trouble, and since she had some free time these past few days, she decided to take a look.
"He's a high-ranking official in the capital," the bodyguard said cautiously.
Well, could he say that Mr. Gong has already had the original wife intervene?
Su Ziqing looked at the bodyguard and asked, "How high is this official's rank? Can he know what's happening in City A? And in a timely manner?"
The bodyguard stared at Su Ziqing without saying a word.
Su Ziqing raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
"Sure, anywhere in the capital is fine," the bodyguard said cautiously.
Su Ziqing: "..."
After a while, she hummed in agreement.
Seeing that Su Ziqing was thinking about something, the bodyguard also fell silent.
"As Chengjue's trusted bodyguard, you'll tell him everything you see, right?" It's not just about protection; it's also about acting as a mouthpiece.
The bodyguard replied, "Hmm." His response wasn't exactly confident.
After all, nobody likes being 'monitored'.
"Did Chengjue know about what happened at the department store?" Su Ziqing recalled what Su Xiaoman had told her.
They talked about the original wife and such.
She didn't know what Su Xiaoman was talking about before, but now, something suddenly flashed into her mind.
The bodyguard confessed honestly, "Mr. Gong had someone find that high-ranking official's ex-wife, Miss Su... she's probably not having a good time."
"So it really was him." Considering the timeline, at that time, there was no possibility of her and Gong Chengjue reconciling.
Thinking of how he had sabotaged Su Xiaoman behind her back, Su Ziqing couldn't help but smile slightly.
She picked up her phone and called Gong Chengjue.
Of course, she was on the phone while going upstairs. She had no interest in saying anything tender in front of the bodyguard, but saying anything too forceful would be a huge embarrassment to Gong Chengjue.
"Baby~" As soon as the call connected, Gong Chengjue's magnetic voice entered her ears, and the word "baby" made her heart melt.
Su Ziqing's ears even turned slightly red.
"Are you busy? Is it convenient for us to talk on the phone?" Su Ziqing came up the stairs with a serious expression, not responding at all to the other person's affectionate words.
"Okay, go ahead." Gong Chengjue put down his work, stood up, walked to the French windows, and looked at the scenery outside.
"Did you contact that guy's ex-wife before? You mean Su Xiaoman?" Su Ziqing said, lying on the bed, speaking relaxedly on the phone.
The voice unconsciously softens and becomes gentler.
"Hmm, why are you suddenly asking this?" Gong Chengjue thought for a while before remembering that there was indeed such a thing.
"Can you get in touch with the original wife?" Su Ziqing chuckled. "Officials' wives are usually quite free, right? Su Xiaoman is in City A."
Gong Chengjue sensed a plan in her laughter, but he showed no intention of questioning her; on the contrary, he seemed to be aiding and abetting her. "Is that so? Then we should indeed inform her."
Su Ziqing's lips remained curved in a smile. "You don't need to handle such a small matter yourself. Just give me your phone number."
"Of course you don't need to handle such things. Don't worry, I have arrangements." Gong Chengjue was not about to let her get involved in this melodramatic power struggle.
"Why?" Is there anything wrong with her doing it?
Gong Chengjue chuckled, "Lowering your status and class is nothing to be proud of."
Su Ziqing said "Oh," and then, "Okay, then that's all for now, bye."
"Did you receive the flowers?" Gong Chengjue asked before she ruthlessly ended the call.
Su Ziqing hummed twice, "It looks good, and... I like it, bye-bye."
