When she arrived at the club’s lounge, Qi Zeyan was sitting on the sofa, drinking black tea and eating muffins.
Xiaozhu was standing by his side and smiled with a nod when he saw Ruan ngxi.
"Second boss." She smiled at Qi Zeyan.
Inside the club, the heating was on. Ruan ngxi was wearing a light sweater dress that complented her skin tone, paired with high heels, making her look dazzlingly radiant.
"I’ve been too busy lately, haven’t been managing the club’s affairs. Tell about the recent trial operations." Qi Zeyan said, lowering his head to sip tea, looking as if he was truly inspecting the work.
"Okay." Ruan ngxi nodded, walked over to sit opposite him, and started discussing.
When it cos to car racing, Jiang Chengsi is skilled. But in terms of managent, Qi Zeyan is the expert.
So halfway through her explanation, Qi Zeyan had already pointed out several suggestions.
"Please wait a mont, let jot that down." Ruan ngxi quickly sat on the sofa to the side and started taking notes.
"For registering mbers, it shouldn’t be so rigid. They’re not just paying for entertainnt, they’re buying our service. I just experienced a round when I ca in, the service awareness needs improvent..."
Qi Zeyan’s work deanor is always serious. Even though it wasn’t at his own company or in a eting room, his expression was a bit lazy, yet he was dressed sharply and professionally.
There was a lethal sense of precision and restraint about him.
While Ruan ngxi was writing, Qi Zeyan took a sip of his tea, but his gaze remained fixed on her. He always knew she was beautiful, but it didn’t hit as strongly when she was by his side.
Now, she was like a vibrant sumr flower, dazzling and captivating.
"Second boss, about the expenditures you ntioned, I’ll need to discuss it with Master Si..." Ruan ngxi looked up just in ti to et his gaze.
He was staring right at her.
Her heart skipped a beat, while Qi Zeyan casually flashed her a smile, as if inviting her to admire him.
Ruan ngxi quickly regained her composure and continued taking notes.
Xiaozhu stood beside them, suddenly feeling quite out of place here.
Could these two be exchanging intimate glances?
Today, there were supposed to be other plans, but Qi Zeyan suddenly declared he wanted to visit the club, making his intentions clear to even a fool.
However, he indeed had other arrangents and didn’t stay long. Ruan ngxi even thoughtfully saw him to his car, watching him leave.
"Assistant Ruan, you scared . It’s my first ti seeing Young Master Qi." The young girl at the front desk was underage and quite pretty.
She started working only when the club’s trial operations began, and it was also Qi Zeyan’s first visit since then, so naturally her first ti eting him.
"But Young Master Qi doesn’t seem as scary as imagined. When I brought him tea, he even thanked ."
"Mainly because he’s so handso. Assistant Ruan, when will Young Master Qi co back?"
...
Which young girl doesn’t fancy a handso and wealthy man? Ruan ngxi laughed, "n like that, just admire from a distance, definitely don’t fall for them."
"We’re just looking anyway, couldn’t match him even if we wanted to." They liked him, but had the wisdom to know fairytale dreams of marrying into wealth rarely co true in reality.
"No one is inherently unworthy of another, it’s just that he, as a person, is not great!" Ruan ngxi clicked her tongue.
"Not great?"
The young girls wanted to ask more, but Ruan ngxi had already turned back to her office, focusing on Qi Zeyan’s suggestions.
Soone who gets drunk and tries to take advantage of others can hardly be a good person!
Yet saying he ’isn’t great’ led the young girls to interpret it another way.
"Was Assistant Ruan saying Young Master Qi isn’t good at certain... things?"
"She used to work with Young Master Qi, so her words are likely true."
"Isn’t there a rumor about Young Master Qi and Master Si? That ’ship’ is super popular."
"So maybe he’s not good with won?"
...
Ruan ngxi had no idea that her casual remark had completely tarnished Qi Zeyan’s reputation.
anwhile, Qi Zeyan, after seeing Ruan ngxi today, although there for work discussions, felt quite delightful about their conversation.
"Xiaozhu."
"Boss, what are your orders?"
"How much do you know about her, since she’s been working under you?"
Xiaozhu gripped the steering wheel.
Boss, it’s work hours, can we not discuss won?
"I don’t know her well." Xiaozhu genuinely didn’t know her well; their interactions were strictly work-related.
Qi Zeyan nodded, "What’s on the schedule for today?"
After Xiaozhu detailed the schedule, Qi Zeyan frowned, "So busy recently?"
"It’s the end of the year, so the schedule is packed. I’ve turned down so cocktail parties for you. If you still find it hectic, I can adjust more later," Xiaozhu said.
"For what’s already scheduled, no need to change it. But add in more leisure ti for ; it’s been exhausting lately."
"Leisure?"
Xiaozhu frowned.
Does that an during work hours, you want to go have fun?
"It’s about balancing work and leisure, can’t just sit in the office all day."
Xiaozhu imdiately caught on...
Maybe go have so fun at the club?
Outdoor activities also fall under leisure balance.
"Boss." Xiaozhu tentatively and carefully started.
"Speak your mind."
"I wanted to ask, about you and Xiaoruan..."
Qi Zeyan just looked at him, clearly expressing:
What’s it to you?
Having worked with him for so long, Xiaozhu imdiately understood. That young lady used to cook for you daily, tended to you in the hospital, and yet you seed indifferent, now you’re interested, what’s the point?
Could it really be true, that you only realize what you have once it’s gone?
**
At this mont, Ruan ngxi was thinking, Qi Zeyan couldn’t possibly visit for work inspections daily; she knew how busy he was more than anyone, and he wouldn’t have the free ti.
But she hadn’t expected to see him again the next day...
After work, she went to the hospital to visit Tang Wan. Jiang Jinsang was holding a baby, pacing back and forth in the room. The little one had just choked on milk, cried for a while, now resting on his shoulder, gently breathing, looking pitiful.
The little one seed out of breath from crying, Jiang Jinsang gently patted his back.
Being an inherently gentle person, Jiang Jinsang was even more so when soothing a child.
With the setting sun, the afterglow spilled into the ward, making everything exceptionally soft and warm.
Ruan ngxi couldn’t help but compare him to a certain soone at her place, wearing capri pants, acting all high and mighty, and sighed helplessly at the huge difference among n.
This is the type of man who can truly run a household.
Who’d know, just monts ago, when the little one choked on milk and wet the bed, leaving Jiang Jinsang in a frantic ss, almost wanting to put a hand over the noisy little mouth.
