My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 528: Chapter 530 Animal World (2)

What follows is best described in the introductory phrase of ‘Animal World’: “Spring has arrived, everything is being revived, and it’s mating season again…”

The secretary, Wang, who had been taking a call outside, didn’t even think to ask who the visitor was, assuming that Qin Zhiyou had only brought his wife. After the call, he set off, and along the way, everyone greeted him enthusiastically: “Morning, Brother Wang.”

Secretary Wang stood straight, serious and unfazed, giving off an inscrutable aura. In response to these greetings, he only nodded slightly, a perfect replica of Qin Zhiyou.

However, the next moment, Wang’s cool exterior was instantly shed when he saw Xiaochen approaching. He was even startled enough to hide behind the janitor.

What the, what, what, did his eyes deceive him, or was Xiaochen really here?

Could it be that the person Qin Zhiyou asked him to entertain for two hours was Xiaochen?

Thinking about it, the Young Madam had come in today dressed formally, looking like she meant business. Qin Zhiyou had mentioned getting her help with the office decor, so probably Xiaochen was brought along too.

While he was still mulling over this, Xiaochen turned around, and Secretary Wang quickly grabbed the janitor Auntie’s mop to hide his face.

No, he needed a plan.

He quickly scarpered, hiding in a corner, and then made a call to the assistant.

Apart from his secretary, Qin Zhiyou also had an assistant team.

Wang quickly called over an assistant he was familiar with and asked him to take care of Xiaochen. He specifically instructed: “If she asks, tell her that Mr. Qin is discussing business with the designer and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to overhear. Let her rest in the lounge for a while. Oh, and remember to serve her orange juice without ice. And chocolate-flavoured cookies. Also, grab as many gossip magazines as you can, the latest ones, she loves reading them. Most importantly, don’t reveal my identity to her. Remember!”

The assistant was befuddled but followed his instructions. Secretary Wang, hiding in a corner, watched as Xiaochen was ushered into the lounge and orange juice, cookies, and magazines were delivered as instructed.

Just as Xiaochen settled down, Secretary Wang got a text from her: “Hey, I wanted to ask, how’s your boss’s progress with Lu Gong?”

Progress, well, isn’t it going great? They just changed the bedsheets, didn’t they?

Secretary Wang nodded to himself, “It’s going great.”

“You would never guess where I am.” Xiaochen started to type then decided it was too tiresome and switched to voice, “I’m at Hanhai’s headquarters.”

“Wow, that’s really impressive.” Secretary Wang exaggerated his response.

Xiaochen didn’t pick up on the insinuation and continued worriedly, “You have to tell your boss to lay down a strong hand when it matters! I always get the feeling that Lu Gong and Qin Zhiyou’s relationship is not simple. He claims to be Lu Gong’s relative, but I’ve never seen him lift a finger when Lu Gong was down on his luck. Even if they were relatives, they’re distant ones. Qin Zhiyou seems slick and cunning, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m afraid if your boss doesn’t make his move in time, Lu Gong could end up being cheated out of his money, or his heart, by Qin Zhiyou!”

Secretary Wang is pretty sure about the heart part, still not certain about the money. And as they were chatting, the distant sound of a bell rang out. Xiaochen, not very sharp-eared, heard the echo on Wang’s phone and asked, “Hey, do you also have a bell ringing over there?”
