Chapter 1220: Mysophobic Qi Zhenbai
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
a.s.sistant Zhu originally wanted to wait for the little lady boss to come down, and he would send her to the university, but she declined.
Because he still had work to do at the company, he couldn’t idle around outside, so he could only give up.
On the way back, he felt that there was some other meaning to the little lady boss’s last sentence.
It was as if she was cutting ties with the boss.
a.s.sistant Zhu was so scared that he quivered. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should go back to the company or go straight to the boss and tell him about the little lady boss ‘catching him in the act.’
In the end, a.s.sistant Zhu didn’t dare concern himself with the boss’s private affairs. Even if his boss really planned to fall in love with someone else, a.s.sistant Zhu had no right to say anything, and he could only feel pity for the little lady boss.
When a.s.sistant Zhu returned to the company, his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call, which was from Xu Xudong.
“Old Xu? What’s the matter?” Because of what happened to the little lady boss just now, a.s.sistant Zhu was a bit distracted.
Xu Xudong could hear that a.s.sistant Zhu was distracted, and he hurriedly asked, “Where did you go just now? Hurry up and come back. Boss is looking for you! He even asked where you went!”
When a.s.sistant Zhu heard that the boss was looking for him, he thought he had misheard. Wait, the boss had already returned to the company? Hadn’t he gone on a date with that Zhuang woman?
a.s.sistant Zhu thought of the ambiguous atmosphere earlier – it hadn’t seemed like the ‘date’ would end so quickly.
Seeing that a.s.sistant Zhu was being a fool and not saying anything, Xu Xudong was a bit helpless. “Wherever you went, come back while the boss is showering. I’m afraid he’ll look for us later!”
a.s.sistant Zhu was a bit stupefied. “Boss is showering during the day?”
Xu Xudong didn’t know where a.s.sistant Zhu had gone or how he had become stupid. He was focusing on the wrong thing. Was now the time to focus on the boss showering?
Before Xu Xudong could ask, a.s.sistant Zhu asked again, “Is the boss the only one in the office?”
Xu Xudong said impatiently, “Who else could there be apart from the boss? a.s.sistant Zhu, let me remind you: Whatever you pay attention to, don’t learn from the other gossipy women and ask for trouble by concerning yourself with the boss’s private affairs!”
a.s.sistant Zhu choked. He had just seen his boss acting ambiguously with another woman, and he had just sent the little lady boss to the apartment. Thinking of her pale face just now, how could he not be concerned?
When he heard Xu Xudong’s words, however, a.s.sistant Zhu was suddenly a little excited.
Could it be that his boss hadn’t been bewitched by that Zhuang woman?
When he saw the woman flirt with his boss earlier, he thought that his boss might really have taken a fancy to her.
But Xu Xudong had said that the boss was taking a shower.
The boss didn’t sweat much during the day, so why was he taking a shower? Whenever he followed the boss out to sign a contract, the boss had never come back and suddenly wanted to take a shower!
The only possibility was that he had been repulsed by the Zhuang woman’s teasing. After all, his boss had never liked being touched, especially by women.
It was also very likely that his boss disliked that woman.
As for why the boss had endured that woman’s teasing before, a.s.sistant Zhu wasn’t sure, but he thought about what happened in the restaurant earlier.
She had deliberately teased the boss, but the boss’s serious and unsmiling expression at that time couldn’t be considered a response.
a.s.sistant Zhu was a little excited at the thought.
More importantly, he could tell that the woman wasn’t normal, let alone his boss; how could his boss not see that there was something wrong with her?
The more a.s.sistant Zhu thought about it, the more things became clear to him.
He was no longer as absent-minded as before, and he looked a little excited. When he entered the elevator, he subconsciously wanted to call the little lady boss to tell her about this. Unfortunately, when he tried, her phone was off.
a.s.sistant Zhu could only give up.
In the office on the top floor, Qi Zhenbai came out of the lounge after showering and putting on his clothes. The chief a.s.sistants and managers were already waiting obediently in the office, trembling with fear.
Qi Zhenbai’s buzz cut was still a bit wet, and a few drops of water occasionally slid down his cheeks to his neck. He was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt with his pants and leather shoes, and his white s.h.i.+rt was b.u.t.toned all the way up.
His cold and hard face was both sharp and s.e.xy. He was younger than most, but he generally had a stiff expression, which gave him a mature and imposing air and made people afraid to look at him.
Because of Qi Zhenbai’s cold aura, the chief a.s.sistants and managers lowered their eyes and didn’t dare look at him at all.
Qi Zhenbai wiped his head with a towel as he walked and then casually tossed it onto the couch on the side and narrowed his eyes. “Is everyone here?” His dark, sharp gaze was intimidating.
a.s.sistant Zhu and the managers immediately straightened and replied, “We’re here!”
“Okay, the meeting will be held in five minutes! Go and get ready!”
“Yes, President Qi!”
After everyone replied, they were about to leave, when a.s.sistant Zhu saw his boss’s sharp gaze suddenly fall on him. He shuddered with fear.
The thing he was afraid of had happened.
His boss suddenly spoke again, his tone deep and forbidding. “a.s.sistant Zhu, stay for a moment. The rest of you can leave!”
Xu Xudong gave a.s.sistant Zhu a commiserating look before he immediately left with the others.
a.s.sistant Zhu was the only one left in the s.p.a.cious office with his boss. He was very nervous. His boss seemed to be in a bad mood lately, and a.s.sistant Zhu didn’t dare provoke him.
His boss didn’t speak for a long time. a.s.sistant Zhu was so nervous that his palms and back were covered in cold sweat. After a while, an imposing and intimidating voice with a hint of coldness gradually rang out. “Where did you go earlier?”
