Chapter 454 - The First Song of Qin (27) (1/2)

Qiao Qian’qian leaving the country spelt the start of the five-year waiting period in the plot.

But Shi Sheng’s days were still as eventful as ever.

And for a very simple reason: Qin Xin refused to give up on making trouble for her.

The most serious incident was one where she actually wanted to kidnap Shi Sheng. Naturally, the result of that was Shi Sheng squeezing Qin Xin out of 30 mil as compensation for the fright she received. The latter was also held captive for three days.

Even if Qin Xin knew Shi Sheng was the one who held her captive, she didn’t have any proof, so she couldn’t do anything to Shi Sheng. Besides, she was the one who wanted to kidnap Shi Sheng in the first place.

Qin Xin was sent out of the country after she was rescued.

The result of this incident was the Qin Family using everything at their disposal to bring down Qin Ge’s company. Yet Qin Ge managed to expand his business despite the pressure.

As a newly minted golden bachelor, Qin Ge was chased by quite a number of young ladies from rich/influential families.

Girls nowadays didn’t care about being modest; they’d make a move on people they took a liking to.

Having watched her man being confessed to for the nth time, Shi Sheng expressed that she was very calm.

“I can’t go up, so how come she can?!” A certain fan pointed at Shi Sheng, who was heading towards the CEO’s dedicated elevator.

The receptionist smiled. “Miss, please don’t obstruct us from doing our jobs, okay? If you wish to see Qin-zong, please make an appointment first. If he agrees to see you, we will naturally allow you to head up.”

“Does she have an appointment?”

‘Does our CEO’s wife need one?’ The receptionist thought, though she still had a smile on. “Sorry, but I can’t answer this question.”

The fan’s eyes swivelled and she suddenly ran towards Shi Sheng, who just so happened to be entering the elevator. The fan rushed in and the doors closed before anyone could stop her.

Shi Sheng was dressed casually, but the fabric of her clothes didn’t seem low quality. The fan examined her a bit.

“Do you work here?”

The girl looked to be around 17 or 18 years of age. She looked very pink and tender, her large watery eyes hinting at a clever mind, though she didn’t seem to have any ill designs.

“No.”

The girl puffed up her cheeks, harrumphing unhappily. “Then how come they let you in, but not me?”

“Probably because I’m good-looking.” Shi Sheng smiled narcissistically.

The girl blinked as she examined Shi Sheng. “You’re lying.”

‘Although this lady is indeed very pretty, there’s no way they’d allow her in just because of her looks. If that were enough, would I have had to spend so much time hounding the receptionist?’

Ding!

The elevator door opened. Shi Sheng exited first.

The girl grew hesitant upon actually reaching this floor. She stretched her head out to look. This whole floor was the CEO’s office, but the actual office area wasn’t that big. Most of the place had been changed to relaxation spots.

The first impression one had upon looking at this place was that it was comfortable, with a lot of greenery that was soothing on the eyes.

The girl hesitated for a good few seconds before rushing out of the elevator just as it was about to close.

“Are you here to see Qin Ge?” The girl jogged to keep up with Shi Sheng. “Why are there so few people here?”

Other CEOs’ offices were always bustling with people, but this place was empty save for two employees.

“What’s the point of having so many people around?”

“So he looks like a proper CEO!” The girl replied matter-of-factly. “My dad has quite a few secretaries.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Have you been reading too many CEO novels?’

“Ms Qiao, this is…?” One of the secretaries lifted her head and couldn’t help but ask upon seeing the girl following Shi Sheng.

“One of your Qin-zong’s fans.”

The secretary, “…” ‘You actually brought a fan to see your husband? CEO’s wife, just how relaxed are you??? Aren’t you afraid that one of those women will seduce the CEO???’
