Chapter 132 - Thick-Skinned Yang Yunshu Is Trying to Seduce Your Man (2/2)

Thinking about what she agreed on last night in a state of daze, getting right to the heart of the matter was fitting for his personality, despite the departure date being Friday instead.

Recalling about the promise, she could not help but think about the nasty tricks he used to make her agree. Song Yu went rouge thinking about the new techniques he played on her.

“He’s here…” Song Yu spoke with a low voice, “probably for a private matter.”

Manager Wang relaxed after seeing her expression. He quickly followed, “If Young Master Cheng is here, you should quickly attend to him. I don’t have any more to say over here.”

Song Yu then rushed to the office. The moment she entered the office, she saw the relaxed man on her chair. It was the opposite for her coworkers ⁠— they did not dare to utter a word, and the office was in complete silence.

The others immediately noted her return. All eyes were going back and forth at her and Qi Chengzhi.

Qi Chengzhi took note immediately too. Lifting his head and seeing her, his severe, thin lips curled into a faint smile. His cold, impersonal eyes radiated kindness at her without disguise. He stood up and waited for her to come over.

Song Yu had never been under such limelight before. Withstanding the pressure of the silence, blushing, she braced herself and walked to her seat.

She did not dare to look up. Her face was already burning red. She spoke softly, “Why’re you here?”

“I’m here to visit you, and to help you apply for days off.” Cooperatively, Qi Chengzhi spoke with a low voice too. His enticing voice circled in his throat. It was in-depth and sexy.

“I will do it myself. You don’t have to come.” Song Yu took a side glance at her coworkers’ reactions. She felt like she could no longer work without distractions in this office.

Qi Chengzhi smiled gently. His distinctly jointed long fingers brushed through the strands of hair by her ear and pulled them back. “Applying for days off is just an excuse. My main intention is to take a good look at my wife-to-be.”

Looking at how she flushed into a deeper red, his smile got even gentler, “I’ve always been wanting to see your working environment. I’m curious about what kind of environment you work under and how you look when you work.”

Qi Chengzhi took a good look at what she was wearing that day ⁠— lemon-yellow pencil pants, a simple white shirt with a sky blue blazer. Coupling the delightful color palette with her light skin, it was refreshing to the eyes. The outfit retained the liveliness while maintaining the professionalism at the workplace.

It was supposed to be a well-polished outfit, but in front of him, she felt like she was a girl only seventeen or eighteen of age ⁠— naive and innocent.

If they were not in the office, with so many people around, he would have kissed her.

The coworkers in the office were staring at the miraculous change in expressions on Qi Chengzhi’s face.

When Song Yu was not around, he felt distant ⁠— it seemed like he wanted to keep everyone a thousand miles away.

When he was with Song Yu, he was unbelievably affectionate. Despite speaking in a low voice, it was not a whisper. They could still hear a sentence or two.

There was no boundary to his pampering.

Those affectionate statements sounded reasonable, but they sounded corny when they came out of Qi Chengzhi’s mouth?

People were envious of how he looked at Song Yu, to the extent that even Yang Yunshu had to admit Qi Chengzhi was serious about Song Yu.

If he were not serious about her, he would not be able to look at her like that.

Even for those who were married, they began to recollect how their husbands had never looked at them like that, even when they were in the passionate dating stage.

How in love must someone be to radiate love like Qi Chengzhi?

Everyone had something going on in their minds. While they were still in shock, a shocked voice slit opens the unique and quiet atmosphere of the office. “Young Master Cheng!”

All they could see was Director Zhao jogging toward Qi Chengzhi in fear and trepidation. “Young Master Cheng, what’re you here…”

Qi Chengzhi finally looked away from Song Yu. Song Yu felt her face was close to exploding. All she wanted to do was to breathe slowly.

By how he looked at her a moment ago, she was anxious he would kiss her in front of everyone.

“Director Zhao.” Qi Chengzhi nodded lightly. The distant expression crept on his refined, handsome face again. The change in appearance was akin to that of Bian Lian 1  ⁠— as if the gentleness never existed.

Everyone heaved ⁠— was that gentleness only reserved for Song Yu?

They only managed to have a glimpse of it because of Song Yu.

“I’m here to see Song Yu, but I also have something to discuss with you.” Qi Chengzhi’s voice was flat. When he spoke, he rested his hand on Song Yu’s waist. It was a habit he had built subconsciously. He was not aware that his hand was currently rubbing against her back.

Director Zhao was slightly appalled. He did not know what Qi Chengzhi wanted to talk to him about, and he did not expect him to behave so politely. He then said, “Young Master Cheng, we can discuss it in my office.”

Qi Chengzhi nodded. He took a glanced at Song Yu and spoke softly, “I will be back. Don’t go missing.”

Song Yu blushed. His words implied she was a little kid that was running around.

Qi Chengzhi smiled and left with Director Zhao.

The moment Qi Chengzhi stepped out, everyone except Ruan Danchen began to look at Song Yu in a new light. From surprised, not being able to believe, to envy, those glimpses made Song Yu slightly uncomfortable. However, they no longer dared to inquire as directly as before.

Yang Yunshu went back to her seat with a gloomy face. She occasionally glanced at Song Yu, and those stares exuded wickedness.

Song Yu did not know what she wanted to get out of her. She felt that Yang Yunshu was like some detector which was eager to see through her.

…

…

Director Zhao ordered the secretary to serve Qi Chengzhi some tea. Qi Chengzhi replied, “It’s alright. I only have a few words. I will leave once I’m done, as Song Yu is still waiting for me downstairs.”

After hearing that, Director Zhao immediately nodded and stooped, “Yes, yes.”

“I want to get a few days off for Song Yu. I’m going on a business trip this Friday, and I want Song Yu to come along.” Qi Chengzhi said, “Five days should be enough.”

“That’s just a small matter. Young Master Cheng, you can get someone to give me a call next time. I will let her take a week off. If it’s not sufficient, it can be extended.” Director Zhao said, “When Song Yu isn’t around, I will let Ruan Danchen help out temporarily. They have a good relationship, so I think Song Yu could rest assured.”

Qi Chengzhi nodded in content. His eyebrows creased a little, “Song Yu’s coworker, the one called Yang Yunshu.”

“Yes, Young Master Cheng, what’s up with her? What did she do wrong?” Director Zhao followed up nervously. He did not want to offend Qi Chengzhi for a puny individual.

Ever since Director Zhao’s wife returned and took charge of the finance department, Director Zhao no longer had extramarital affairs in the office. He kept his distance with the young female underlings, even outside the office. To Yang Yunshu, he never really had any thoughts about her. Hence he did not have any bias toward her.

“She seemed to harbor evil intentions. I think it’s not conducive to Song Yu.” Qi Chengzhi spoke in a bland tone.

Director Zhao knew precisely what he meant. After all, he was in the industry for many years. His face changed, “Young Master Cheng, Yang Yunshu.. did she…”

Taking his moments, Director Zhao still was not able to come up with the appropriate words. However, his hesitation was sufficient to explain what happened.

Qi Chengzhi said nothing. Director Zhao took a deep breath and forced a wry smile, “Young Master Cheng, Yang Yunshu hasn’t made any mistakes since she joined the company, so I can’t fire her for no reason. If she goes and sues the company, it’s not a liability we can bear.”

“However, I can assign her to another department. That way, her skill sets would not be compatible with the job, and she will quit in no time. This way, she won’t be in the same office as Song Yu, nor does she have the chance to offend Song Yu or be a hindrance. What do you think? Is that alright?”

Qi Chengzhi did not want to put Director Zhao in a problematic situation. After all, Song Yu was still working there, so he agreed.

Subsequently, Director Zhao accompanied Qi Chengzhi to Song Yu’s office.

The moment they entered before Qi Chengzhi could say anything, Director Zhao spoke delightfully, “Song Yu, there’s nothing much going on in the afternoon. You can go with Young Master Cheng.”
