The Substitute Bride
When Assistant Fan came to call Ye Zhiqiu, she had already been sitting on the sofa for a while. The agreed-upon ten minutes were up, but it ended up dragging on for nearly half an hour. Due to lack of sleep the previous night, Ye Zhiqiu was dozing off on the comfortable sofa, and Assistant Fan, who came to get her, was in a dilemma. This was the president's wife; if he woke her up now and she held a grudge, what should he do? Assistant Fan didn't have to wait too long before an incongruous figure suddenly appeared in the busy office. "Assistant Fan." When he heard the voice, Assistant Fan was still hesitating, wondering whether he should wake Ye Zhiqiu or not. Turning around, he saw a charming figure standing there smiling, which made his head swell. This was bad; what good could come from the new lover and the old flame meeting? "Miss Bai..." Assistant Fan was so nervous that he stuttered. At this moment, he truly wished Ye Zhiqiu would just fall into a deep sleep, to avoid such an awkward situation. But things don't always go as one wishes, and Ye Zhiqiu woke up when she heard the voice. She stood up and straightened her clothes, "Assistant Fan, is the president finished over there?" "He..." Assistant Fan looked at Bai Rongrong, then at Ye Zhiqiu, caught in a dilemma. Both were people he couldn't afford to offend. Oh God, why was his president so fickle? "Is this a new arrival?"
Bai Rongrong was a regular here, but she did not recognize Ye Zhiqiu and naturally took Ye Zhiqiu for a new secretary. Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was beautiful, she couldn't help but feel a bit wary. She stuffed the things in her hand into Ye Zhiqiu's hands and said, 'Here, take these to them. I have something to discuss with your president, and no one is allowed in without my permission.'
Bai Rongrong said condescendingly. On her way here, she had deliberately asked her assistant to buy Hong Kong-style dim sum, using such small favors to win people's hearts.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the dim sum stuffed into her hands and frowned slightly.
'aren't you going quickly?' Bai Rongrong scolded. Ever since that night, Lu Qichen had been intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from her. Coupled with the outbreak of rumors, she needed to strike while the iron was hot even more to turn her and Lu Qichen's matter into an established fact.
Unexpectedly, her mood was spoiled by a small secretary as soon as she arrived here.
Bai Rongrong didn't recognize Ye Zhiqiu, but she was a public figure, while Ye Zhiqiu did recognize her.
He had clearly made an appointment with herself to discuss the plan, but he still deliberately invited Bai Rongrong over. Ye Zhiqiu was very dissatisfied in her heart.
'I'm not...' She was just about to retort when Fan, the assistant, took the dim sum from Ye Zhiqiu's hands sycophantically, 'Well, let me do it.'
Fan glanced at Bai Rongrong in front of him and said, 'Miss Bai, you might have to wait. Today, the president has an appointment with...'
'What could be more important than me?' Bai Rongrong said confidently as she pushed open the door. Lu Qichen, sitting at the desk, didn't even lift his head, 'Didn't anyone teach you to knock before entering? Where has your upbringing gone?'
“Qi Chen...” Bai Rongrong was accustomed to coming here casually, and Lu Qi Chen had never been so stern with her. She was suddenly stunned on the spot, looking at Lu Qi Chen in front of her with grievance. Hearing the voice, Lu Qi Chen looked up and saw Bai Rongrong standing at his door. He frowned slightly and asked, 'Why are you here?' 'Who else do you think it would be?' Bai Rongrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lu Qi Chen's sternness just now was not directed at her. 'It's nothing, what are you here for?' Lu Qi Chen asked indifferently, lacking the enthusiasm of the past, and instead, there was a sense of alienation. After the incident that night, he really couldn't muster any enthusiasm for Bai Rongrong. 'I was starting my car nearby and thought you must not have had breakfast yet, so I came specially to bring you breakfast,' Bai Rongrong said with a smile, waving the breakfast in her hand as if nothing had happened, 'Come and have some, it's from your favorite shop.' Lu Qi Chen frowned slightly. Ever since that night, he had been deliberately avoiding Bai Rongrong. He couldn't quite say why, butAnyway, he needs time to digest this matter。 'No need.' Lu Qi Chen said very coldly, 'I've had breakfast, and if there's nothing else, you should go back first, I have an appointment.' Bai Rongrong, with her back to Lu Qi Chen, paused slightly in her movements, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes, but when she turned her face again, it was filled with smiles, 'Look at you, I got up early in the morning to buy this, just pretend to give me some face and have a taste, will you?'
Bai Rongrong clamped a crystal bun and brought it to Lu Qichen's lips, determined that he would not stop until he ate it. Lu Qichen was still hesitating when the office door was pushed open aggressively. Assistant Fan, bracing himself, reached out to stop Ye Zhiqiu, but to no avail. The private time with Lu Qichen was interrupted, and Bai Rongrong's face looked extremely ugly. She glared fiercely at Ye Zhiqiu in front of her and said to Assistant Fan, 'Assistant Fan, since when did you become so insensitive? Can't you see that the president is busy? If your subordinates are brainless, does that mean you are too?' Bai Rongrong had taken an instant dislike to Ye Zhiqiu at first sight, and now she had found her chance. Pouting, she pulled Lu Qichen's hand and coquettishly said, 'Qichen, look at this woman. How on earth did someone like her get hired under you? In my opinion, you should fire her as soon as possible, lest she ruins your big plans in the future.' Ye Zhiqiu stared angrily at Lu Qichen in front of her, silent. For some reason, Lu Qichen felt a twinge of guilt in his heart. Assistant Fan, feeling guilty, didn't dare to meet Lu Qichen's gaze and hurriedly stood in front of Ye Zhiqiu, 'Miss Autumn, as you can see, our president really has something to do...' 'Busy? Doing what?'
Ye Zhiqiu's face showed no trace of emotion, but in reality, the anger in her heart was impossible to suppress. Because of a single remark from Lu Qichen, she had been working tirelessly on this project, neglecting proper rest for a long time. She came today, and Lu Qichen was in a meeting; fine, she would wait! But what was she waiting for? She waited to see him being affectionate with his mistress, leaving her to wait outside. If this were a matter of personal life, Ye Zhiqiu could have turned a blind eye and pretended nothing had happened. But since this involved work, she would not so easily swallow her anger. Ye Zhiqiu sneered, 'Busy flirting with your mistress, President Lu, it's really a miracle that Xiangyu hasn't fallen apart in your hands all these years.'
