At that moment, the phone vibrated a few times, and Qing Yan picked it up to see that it was a call from Si Yechen.
"Yan Yan." Si Yechen's deep and magnetic voice sounded. "I miss you."
"... " Qing Yan asked helplessly, "Is there something you need?"
"Are you busy with work?" Si Yechen spoke with a lazy and melodious tone, his voice clear and pleasant. "Do you need my help?"
"No need."
"I've been thinking about you all morning." Si Yechen's longing overflowed in his voice, with a lingering charm. "I want to finish all your work so that you can have time to be with me."
"... "
"It will be another hour before I can see you." Si Yechen sounded a bit tortured. "I want to video chat with you."
"... "
"Just for a while." Si Yechen guessed that she wouldn't agree, so he pleaded before she could speak. "Just a short while."
"... " Qing Yan remained silent.
"Yan Yan..." Si Yechen persisted, "I promise it won't affect your work."
Qing Yan couldn't resist his persistence, so she eventually gave in. After a while, his video call came through.
Just as Qing Yan answered, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"President Qing, here's your coffee." He Ning respectfully placed the coffee on the table, unaware that her phone, propped against the tissue box, was currently in a video call.
"President Qing, you're famous again! Everyone in the company is talking about your glorious achievements, and someone even spontaneously composed a poem for you."
"Oh?" Qing Yan took a sip of the coffee, feeling somewhat surprised.
"Let me recite it to you..."
He Ning cleared his throat and recited in a solemn manner, "President Qing, when you're angry, others fear; President Qing, when you call, they eat prison food; With President Qing around, the villains fail; With President Qing, there's bound to be glory! Whether you're a pine or a dragon, heed the advice to thaw the ice; When President Qing takes action, your fate is sealed, and in a second, you're sent to the sky!"
"... " Qing Yan was taken aback. What on earth was that?
On the other end of the video, the person smiled with a hint of amusement, seemingly entertained by the poem.
"President Qing, you can see the profound respect everyone has for you from this poem... Today, when you confronted those five individuals with the evidence, it was truly impressive! Do you know what others in the company are saying about you?"
"Those female employees say they have been conquered by you and wish to marry you! And some male employees are planning to confess to you after work," He Ning's voice was filled with excitement.
Qing Yan had just taken a sip of coffee and almost choked upon hearing this.
"They say you've only been in the company for less than a week, and you've already exposed seven major villains, including the workers on the production line... They're betting that you can send Hu Linquan to the police station to eat prison food within a week!"
Hearing this, He Ning leaned in front of Qing Yan, smiling mischievously. "President Qing, I bet ten bucks, I wonder if I can win..."
Qing Yan casually uttered two words, "Too little."
"Huh?"
Qing Yan's voice was lazy and indifferent. "Raise the stakes."
Upon hearing this, He Ning's heart instantly boiled. "President Qing, are you confident? If you are, I'm willing to bet my entire fortune!"
"..."
"But now there's not enough evidence, so the police will probably release him..." He Ning felt a sense of regret.
"Releasing him wouldn't be good?" Qing Yan raised an eyebrow, speaking with great interest. "I'm afraid he won't be released."
"Huh??" He Ning couldn't understand why.
No one could guess Qing Yan's thoughts, but seeing her brimming with confidence, He Ning faintly felt that he was going to win!
He vowed to raise the stakes later!!
"Oh, by the way, President Qing, Hu Linquan also has connections at the headquarters... You need to be careful!"
"Okay." Qing Yan didn't take it seriously. No matter how influential someone was, they would all crumble in the face of evidence.
"President Qing, you're so domineering at such a young age. What kind of influential figure would dare to stand by your side as your husband in the future?"
He Ning looked at Qing Yan's cold face and suddenly thought without warning.
Qing Yan glanced at the man's face in the video, and that man was also looking at her.
Her presence was indeed strong, but Si Yechen was no less.
"President Qing, do you dare to bet?"
"Hmm? What are we betting on?"
"I bet that your future husband will definitely be an outstanding person! Let's not say anything else, at the very least, he'll be a tall, rich, and handsome man! Just based on your top-tier face, he definitely won't fall short!"
"Are you free?" Qing Yan casually said, "How about you temporarily take on the positions of those five people?"
"President Qing, I just remembered that there's something I haven't taken care of yet. I'll leave first."
He was about to make his escape when suddenly he heard a man's voice.
"Lord Chen, these documents need your review."
It was Qingmu's voice as he walked into Si Yechen's office, wanting Si Yechen to make decisions on a few projects.
Hearing that, Hening stopped in his tracks. "Qingmu? Did I just hear a man's voice? Are you hiding a man in your office?"
On the other end, Qingmu seemed to have heard his voice too and asked with some confusion, "Lord Chen, who is speaking?"
Then, Qingmu and Hening simultaneously realized that their boss was on a video call...
Both of their expressions carried varying degrees of shock...
Especially Hening, his mouth could fit two eggs in it!
"Qing, Qing, Qingmu... You, you..."
When did you get to know such a big shot?!
"You, you're on a video call??"
Oh my god!!
Is he dreaming?!
He actually saw that handsome, top-tier face in Qingmu's phone!!
Si Yechen!!
He's the world's richest Si Yechen!!
Wasn't he supposed to be cruel and indifferent, uninterested in women?!
Why is he video calling with Qingmu?!
"Qing, Qingmu, you, are you...?"
"Yan Yan, care to introduce?" Si Yechen's voice carried a hint of interest. "Is this your assistant?"
Yan Yan!
Yan Yan!!
He actually called Qingmu "Yan Yan"!!
What an intimate nickname!!
Qing Yan: ...
Will this guy ever stop?!
"Hello, President Si... I'm Hening, Qingmu's assistant... It's an honor to meet you today!" Hening quickly bowed ninety degrees, showing utmost respect. "I didn't know you were on a video call just now. I apologize for the interruption. Are you Qingmu's boyfriend?"
"Fiancé."
Upon hearing the word "fiancé," Hening was even more shocked, freezing his expression!
Fiancé!
Si Yechen is Qingmu's fiancé!
No wonder Qingmu is so domineering. He has such a powerful backing!
Not to mention the company, he can conquer the whole world!
"Thank you for your compliments earlier," Si Yechen said.
Hening didn't expect to stumble upon this and ended up praising Si Yechen. Thankfully, he didn't say anything wrong! Otherwise, his life would be over!
"There's no one in this world who deserves our Qingmu except for you. You and Qingmu are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
Those guys in the company really overestimate themselves. Qingmu's fiancé is President Si, yet they still think of confessing to Qingmu after work...
"President Si, rest assured, I will protect Qingmu in the company and won't let other men get close to her! If you have any orders, you can directly assign them to me... I'm more than willing to serve you."
Qing Yan: ???
Whose person are you exactly? Who's paying your salary???
