His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2003: Chapter 574: That Wild Man_2

Qiao Yi’s eyes were about to pop out: ”What?”

”The Crown Prince of the Lin family interested in his precious daughter? Just playing around, more likely!”

The difference in social status is too great. How could the Lin family casually choose a woman? At the very least, she would need a family background like Mu Yichen’s to be regarded highly by the Lin family.

”That’s right, the Lin family has always been particular about social compatibility. All three daughters married into prominent families, how could they let their only son marry so carelessly?”

Zhao Huai also expressed his skepticism.

”I heard from the colleagues that someone downstairs might be a relative of President Zhao?”

Yang Qin voiced her doubts too, looking to Qiao Yi and Zhao Huai for their opinions, but inside she felt a bit despondent.

Social compatibility?

Right! It seems that in wealthy families, such social compatibility has always been emphasized.

Yang Qin found it amusing, unsure why she was even thinking about it.

Zhao Huai and Qiao Yi pondered for a moment, realizing such a person indeed existed, then sighed: ”I can tolerate President Zhao’s usual messy antics, but what did he say today? For long-term development? Why do I feel like he’s no longer on our side?”

”You don’t need to let yourself get so worked up in front of all those people!”

Zhao Huai noticed his complexion hadn’t improved and quietly reminded him.

”Hmph! I originally wanted to anger that old geezer to death. Who knew he’d have such a pig-like face-skin? Truly an old pig not afraid of boiling water. Relying on the fact that I’m leaving, he deliberately targets me. You see, would he dare speak to you like that?”

Qiao Yi’s anger grew as he thought about it more, asking Zhao Huai again.

Zhao Huai remained silent, not expecting one day he’d be taking over Qiao Yi’s job, thinking he was merely a handyman. Who’d have thought...

But Zhao Huai felt confident, especially since he’d been casually trained by Mu Yichen for so many years.

”But hasn’t there been a lot of complaints in the company since people found out I’m taking over Lao Qin’s position?”

Zhao Huai suddenly remembered something important and asked.

Mu Yichen seemed idle, listening to their conversation.

”It’s indeed like that!”

Yang Qin replied softly.

Zhao Huai chuckled helplessly.

”Even if they’re unhappy, so what. They couldn’t handle this position even if they took it.”

Qiao Yi took Zhao Huai along for most of the work tasks, so Zhao Huai was also familiar with the clients that Qiao Yi knew well. Zhao Huai taking over Qiao Yi’s work was the best choice both publicly and privately, as it would be easier for clients to accept.

”Actually, being this interim secretary isn’t different for me either.”

Though she’d been here only a few days, Yang Qin noticed many of the women in the office building disliked her. While they didn’t openly mess with her, each had their own agendas, and their gazes toward her were filled with rejection.

There was another bout of silence.

Mu Yichen suddenly lifted his eyes: ”What?”

”... ”

”... ”

”... ”

President Mu hadn’t been in the zone, not listening to his three capable assistants’ grievances and anger.

”It’s nothing!”

Yang Qin smiled awkwardly, her voice very soft.

Qiao Yi snorted twice, glancing disdainfully.

Zhao Huai was the youngest, and although married, he remained modest in front of these older siblings, just slightly clearing his throat and sipping tea.

”You three should head back this afternoon, I’m going to visit Mrs. Mu.”

Mu Yichen spoke solemnly as he said this.

The three of them again looked at him in unison, their expressions slightly varied. Zhao Huai was almost ready to complain, while Qiao Yi pretended to be clueless: ”Going to Mrs. Mu? When did you start getting so close to the mother?”

Yang Qin was stunned, unable to react immediately, having thought Mrs. Mu was Qin Mu, but was it a different Mu?

Yang Qin suddenly felt relieved, but then...

”Have you been in touch with Xi Meng recently?”

Mu Yichen suddenly tilted his head slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Qiao Yi opposite him.

Yang Qin, sitting beside him, instinctively glanced at him: ”Occasionally!”

”From now on, keep in touch with Xi Meng often, especially regarding ’his’ matters. You should explain them clearly to Xi Meng!”

Mu Yichen folded his arms, slightly pointing a finger at Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi felt his eyes and mouth twitch simultaneously, cursing once more in his heart.

Today really was a day that shouldn’t be started without checking the almanac.

Yang Qin understood finally, chuckling helplessly. Clearly, these two grown men turned out to love fighting. It’s somewhat...

Childish.

Yes! Childish!

Yang Qin hid her laughter, bowing her head.

Just then, the waiter arrived with the dishes, and the four began eating. This meal was one where some had indigestion issues, some were careless, some found the food tasteless, while others savored every bite.
