Chapter 54：Nice To See You Again (2/2)

”All right,” Qian Meigui nodded with determination.

Feeling motivated, Qian Meigui scooted out from the bed sheets. Song Sheng rose, ruffling her bed hair and said, ”I'll see you later.”

”Mhm. I'll see you at night,” she said as she placed on her slippers.

Qian Meigui went to the office, and the atmosphere felt relaxed as the employees knew that Song Ren wasn't in. Yet, when she walked in, most of them stiffened as they still respected Qian Meigui as a member of the Song family.

The employees hastily returned to work, and Yang Minzhe approached her while breaking out with sweat. ”Thank goodness you're here. I can't get them to do anything on my own.”

Qian Meigui chuckled, ”Minzhe, I wonder how Ren entrusts you to do anything.”

”I don't know myself,” he said, ”perhaps faith.”

Qian Meigui gave him a harlequin smile, ”Indeed,” she said before she walked away.

Yang Minzhe raised a brow, but he shrugged off her odd behaviour and walked away.

As Qian Meigui made her way to the legal department, she noticed a familiar figure. She approached closer, not believing who it was. ”Zhong Liu?” she questioned,

Zhong Liu was hovering around the hall as he turned around, his eyes glazed with an icy frostiness before it warmed with shock. ”Xiao Mei?” he asked.

Qian Meigui smiled and shook his hand. ”It's nice to see you again,” she said. Zhong Liu was a close friend of Song Ren, but he befriended Qian Meigui too after he noticed that she did not have many friends back when they were in the same school. ”You've changed so much,” he said with a sincere smile and tone.

Zhong Liu could not believe it. The quiet girl who used to wear her hair in braids and an oversized backpack was someone who appeared to be bold now. She wore a mahogany pencil shirt with a matching blazer and white blouse. Her long wavy hair spilled over her shoulders, and she appeared to be more womanly.

”What are you doing here?” she asked, interrupting his thoughts.

”I came to see you. I heard you are your sister's legal representative.”

”Mhm,” she said.

”Well, I am a legal representative for the Jian's, but when I took the case for my law firm, I didn't know it was against Song Corporation. So I'm hoping now that we can discuss over the case to settle some things before we proceed. The last thing I want to do is to hurt an old friend.”

”Sounds good,” she said. Qian Meigui leads him into the legal department to meet with him. They spent hours discussing. Out of all Song Ren's friends—and she had many—Zhong Lui was the only one that acknowledged her. Su Feng had occasionally greeted her, but he never got close with her because of their family rivalry.

Zhong Lui made sure Qian Meigui was taken care of at school, and though he was intelligent and popular, he treated her like everyone else.
