Recently, she had taken on a lot of cases that Qin Zhiyou had recommended to her. Some were arranged directly by Qin Zhiyou, and some were handed over by his secretary Wang and his project team.
There were murmurs and gossip in the company, but standing on the strength of Qin Zhiyouâs position, those designers who had offended Lu Weixi before either resigned or could not receive any work and were forced to change jobs. Everyone just accepted that Qin Zhiyou and Qin Zhigu were relatives, as they claimed to be, even though there were still whispers behind their backs.
âWhat is your relationship with Qin Zhiyou, exactly?â
Lu Weixi jumped in surprise. Her first reaction was to check Weibo immediately, but there was no trending topic about her. She searched from top to bottom, but there was really nothing.
Why did Xiaochen bring this up all of a sudden? Although she knew Xiaochen was a King of Gossip, she rarely gossiped about people close to her. Ever since she learnt that Qin Zhiyou was her ârelativeâ, she even reduced the number of times she talked about him. Later, when the scandal between Huang Mi and Xue Feifei broke out, Xiaochen knew about Lu Weixiâs connection with Xue Feifei because Xue Feifei had visited Lulu before, so she didnât gossip as blatantly.
But this time, it really was a first.
âDid something happen?â
âNo, nothing,â Xiaochen vaguely handled it a few times and then made an excuse, âBoss Lu, my phone is out of battery. Do you have any work instructions?â
âNothing else, you should sleep. Itâs late.â
After hanging up the phone, Xiaochen immediately made a WeChat call to Secretary Wang: âGosh, I think your boss is doomed.â
I also think Iâm doomed, because Xiaochenâs call came first and Secretary Wang answered it. But right after, he received another call from Lu Weixi â how dare he not answer it! All he could do was say, âMy boss is calling me, letâs chat over WeChat.â
He hung up Xiaochenâs call and answered Lu Weixiâs: âYoung Madam, how may I help you?â@@novelbin@@
Lu Weixi was anxious here: âI donât know what happened, Xiaochen suddenly asked me about my relationship with Qin Zhiyou. Have todayâs events been leaked? Didnât I ask you to suppress the hot topics on Weibo?â
Before Secretary Wang could reply, a message suddenly popped up from Xiaochen: âItâs over. My mom and I were watching the news on Yan City TV today, and they reported about a car accident. Our Boss Lu and Qin Zhiyou were on the screen and you could tell at a glance, they donât look anything like relatives at all. I swear, if I saw it wrongly, Iâll hand over my head!â
Was this a case of asking a question and answering it simultaneously?
The scariest part was, before he could reply to Lu Weixi, another call came through on his phone â from Qin Zhiyou!
This triple prevention was the most deadly! The scary part was, he had to deal with Xiaochen without letting her know that he was Qin Zhiyouâs subordinate. And he had to respond to both Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou, especially to Qin Zhiyou, he must not let him find out about his relationship with Xiaochen.
This was too hard for him.
First, he replied to Lu Weixi: âYoung Madam, let me investigate first, do not worry. I will try my best not to escalate the situation.â
Then he switched to Qin Zhiyouâs call, sure enough Qin Zhiyou scolded him in a low voice on the phone: âWhat happened? Why is someone calling me asking me if Iâve been injured and hospitalized?â
Secretary Wang typed a reply to Xiaochen while on the phone: âThatâs impossible, my boss and Boss Lu have a good relationship. I feel like they are getting closer and closer.â
