As an intern, Beiye was working with Quantum Gas for quite so ti. So in that sense, she was Zexi’s senior. Looking at her nervous state, she chuckled. "Seems like your first job."
Zexi coughed. "Yes."
And I have to do spying right off the bat! God save !
"Oof don’t worry so much. The people working here are really good. You will gel in no ti~" Beiye smiled. "Or perhaps you are so tense because...you are thinking of doing sothing naughty?"
Zexi couldn’t breathe.
This is going to be hard...Is she being perceptive or just teasing ?
"Hahaha," Beiye burst into laughter. "You are so cute. It is so fun to tease you."
"P-please don’t..." she touched her neck.
"My bad, my bad. I was just trying to make things lighter for you. Hmm, let’s talk about sothing else. How about your handso brother for instance~?"
"Brother?"
"Inspector Mo Huojin who ca to drop you."
"Oh! He is not my brother," she waved her hand in dismissal.
Beiye tilted her head. "Oh really. I was sure of it. He did ntion during a case that he has a sister about our age."
"You t him during a case?" Zexi curiously asked.
Beiye smiled. "Yes. Since then, it feels like fate. He is quite a looker and also a gentleman~"
Zexi choked.
Bro Huojin, sobody has a crush on you...
She sighed. "And here I thought I will be able to score so brownie points by impressing his sister~"
"You are so bold and frank...B-But there is quite an age difference right?"
She shrugged. "Six or Seven years? Who cares? There are married couples with more than twenty years of age gap between them. Age is just a number when both are twenty or above~"
Her brow twitched.
Beiye leaned towards her. "But I wonder if he is not your brother, then why did he co to drop you?"
Then a gasp escaped as if a realization struck her. "Oh my, don’t tell you could possibly be my love rival?"
"No, no, no!" Zexi vigorously shook her head. "I already have a boyfriend...So Bro Huojin..."
She wasn’t sure how to exactly explain it.
"He is kind of like my family friend..." she lied and was close to breaking into sweat.
"Oh..." Beiye raised her brow. "Guess I can indeed score my brownie points from you."
She coughed. Zexi found Beiye to be quite bold, cheery and fun-loving. It was very easy to talk to her, so she wondered if she could strike the topic of Zhang Luqi’s case. It was possible that Beiye could know sothing about it as she had been working at Quantum Gas for a while.
No, no! It’s too soon I guess...? What if she gets suspicious?
But I cannot delay for a long ti either for sis Jia’s sake...
They reached the elevator to go to the upper floors where the onboarding orientation for new joiners was going to be held. The doors opened with a ding and a woman in an elegant business suit with sharp facial features exited the lift, almost bumping into Zexi.
"Oh, I am sorry."
Zexi’s jaw dropped. "Y-you you..."
Beiye imdiately straightened up too. "Good morning, CEO Xie."
"Good morning," the woman smiled.
Zexi wanted to faint.
It is my first day and I already bumped into the CEO of Quantum Gas, Miss. Xie Mulan!
"I-I am so sorry, Mam!" She profusely apologized.
"You don’t need to apologize. It’s my fault. I am in a hurry," Xie Mulan sighed. "Anyway you..." she took a look at her temporary ID card, "seem to be a new joiner."
"Yes! I-I joined just today and I will be a part of the core developnt team! It’s a pleasure to be working here, Mam. I am your f-fan!"
Xie Mulan was visibly surprised and a chuckle escaped her lips. "Oh really?"
"Yes, yes, I have always admired you...!"
Zexi was imdiately embarrassed.
Ahhh, what am I saying!?
"Indeed, CEO Xie is a very inspiring person especially for young won," Beiye added.
"Well, I am glad you feel that way about ," she scratched her chin. "Anyway, welco to Quantum Gas. Do your best."
She nodded hard.
"I am sorry. I would have talked a bit more with you two, but I am really in a hurry. If I miss my appointnt, a certain devil of a man will really eat up."
Zexi was speechless.
Who could make the great CEO Xie fear like that...? Damn it, is it a date? I am so curious now!

Mingshen was impatiently tapping his foot as he kept looking at his watch from ti to ti. He eventually ended up calling his father with a sour face.
"Should this really happen right now?"
Yang Cheng paused. "I am sorry. I know you are busy with Song Jia’s case."
"Then why bother for sothing that you know would definitely not happen?" His gaze darkened.
"She was abroad for a trip and she just returned."
"Nothing to do with ."
"It is just a eting, Mingshen. I won’t be forcing this to go anywhere. But at least et her once. She is definitely interested in seeing you," he plainly said without much emotion.
He yawned. "Won wanting to et is not a new thing, Dad."
"Talk to her nicely," And Yang Cheng hung up.
Mingshen’s brow twitched hard. "What the hell..."
The door opened just as he was cursing his luck.
"Ouch. Sobody’s got a temper."
Xie Mulan arched her brow with interest and sat down opposite him as she kept her purse aside.
"You. Are. Late," Mingshen barked.
"Only by a minute."
"A second’s difference can be the difference between life and death for a person, so don’t give that bullshit excuse to a doctor. A minute is like a whole eternity."
"As bitter as always I see."
He sneered. "Sweet is unhealthy for ."
"Don’t be such a spoilsport."
"Since you are not coming to the topic, I will. You and - not going to happen. I have nothing against you, but I am not looking for a wife. So can I leave already?"
