Chapter 41 - Liang Sheng (1/2)

After a few days of recuperating at Han Yue Xiu's place, Li Qin Yao returned to B City and went back to work as usual. On the day she returned to work, Li Qin Yao invited her barista, Qing Kong, to her office after the crowd has lessened. The two of them chatted briefly before Li Qin Yao mentioned her intention to train her Qing Kong as the manager of Lilium Cafe.

”Me?” Qing Kong pointed at her nose. ”A manager? Boss, I don't think I'm capable. If you're looking for a manager, I think Sister Mei Xuan is suitable.”

”I talked to Mei Xuan about this matter. You know that Mei Xuan cannot stay too long at the cafe because of her family,” Li Qin Yao smiled. ”It was Mei Xuan who suggested me to offer this position to you.”

Qing Kong opened her mouth to speak, but her boss raised a hand to stop her from speaking.

”I know what you're going to say,” Li Qin Yao said. ”But I have been watching you for the last few days, and I think with a bit of training, you can do this job. I hope that you can think about this promotion before you give me your answer. Of course, if you agree to take this job, your work increase will double, and so will your salary.”

After the brief chat, Qing Kong exited her cramped office, and Li Qin Yao went back to her work. After she had looked at the cafe's invoices and order form, Li Qin Yao began to research on the new development project in B City. Fortunately, Li Qin had agreed to work at this project; at least, she could take her mind off her break up.

Surprisingly, Chen Hao did not come to look for her. Not a phone call or a message on her WeChat. Seeing that Chen Hao did not try to contact her, Li Qin Yao felt a pang of disappointment.

Although she was the one who initiated the breakup, Li Qin Yao hoped that Chen Hao would at least try to coax her. She had thought about their relationship for the past few days and decided that, if Chen Hao tried to contact her, then she would be willing to try and change his mother's heart and opinion towards her.

Unfortunately, after a few days has passed, Chen Hao did not attempt to contact her.

Just as she was busy reading a few reports on her computer, Yin Mei Xuan knocked on her door and peeked inside.

”Yao Yao, someone is here to look for you. It's a guy,” Yin Mei Xuan wriggled her eyebrow and gave her friend a flirtatious look.

”Who? Did he say who he is?”

”He said his name is Liang Sheng,” Yin Mei Xuan said. ”Although he was not good looking, you can tell from the way he dressed that he probably made a lot of money!”

Li Qin Yao laughed at her comment. She walked out of her office and peeked at the man from the kitchen.

The man sat elegantly by the window as he sipped on his drink. He dressed neatly in a suit. From his side profile, Li Qin Yao could see that he was wearing a black-rimmed spectacle. After staring at him for a while, Li Qin Yao still thought that she had never seen his face before.

”Didn't they say not to judge a book by its cover? How do you think that this guy made a lot of money by looking at his suit? It could be rental.”
