"Zhou Qi, what do you mean by that?" Xu Jing stared at him, asking coldly.
Zhou Qi remained calm, "It means nothing. If you don't want to go back to Min City, then I'll come to Yun City."
"You..."
" Manager Zhou." The boss returned, looking apologetic. "I'm sorry, but I have to attend the opening ceremony of Dream Lotus shortly, so I can't see you off."
Zhou Qi smiled slightly, "It's alright. I'm actually an alumnus of Manager Chen from Dream Lotus. I came to Yun City this time to attend the opening ceremony as well."
Xu Jing: "..."
Does this guy not need to draft his lies?
The boss was clearly fooled by Zhou Qi's lie and exclaimed, "So Manager Zhou and Manager Chen are alumni! What a coincidence!"
Zhou Qi smiled faintly and turned to Xu Jing, "Miss Xu, we will meet again soon."
Xu Jing forced a smile, "We'll see about that."
"Miss Xu, please escort me downstairs," Zhou Qi suddenly requested.
Xu Jing frowned, "You..."
"Xiao Xu, just see Manager Zhou off," the boss interjected.
Xu Jing had no choice but to swallow her frustration and escort Zhou Qi downstairs.
The boss saw Zhou Qi to the elevator, smiling broadly, " Manager Zhou, take care."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly and stepped into the elevator.
Xu Jing stood outside the elevator with a blank expression and said, " Manager Zhou, safe travels."
Zhou Qi smirked, "Xu Jing, enjoy your solitude. I think Zhou Qiang will feel guilty about it."
Xu Jing's expression turned cold: "Zhou Qi, what do you mean?"
Zhou Qi chuckled softly, "What I mean is that you'll find out soon enough."
With that, he pressed the close door button.
Xu Jing stared into his eyes, trying hard to suppress the impulse to punch him.
...
The boss sent Zhou Qi off, returned to the office, and immediately called his assistant over: "Find out if Manager Zhou and Manager Chen from Dream Lotus are really alumni."
The assistant nodded, "Okay, I'll check right away."
After a moment of contemplation, the boss suddenly asked, "By the way, has there been any gossip circulating in the company lately?"
The assistant recalled, "It seems there is..."
"What gossip?"
"Everyone is saying that Manager Zhou is our little Xu's uncle..."
"What?" The boss was taken aback. "How is that possible? Manager Zhou is an only child; where would he have an older brother?"
"I don't know either; that's just what everyone is saying in the company."
"Alright, alright, I get it." The boss waved his hand. "Tell everyone not to spread rumors. If it reaches Manager Zhou's ears, we can't afford the consequences."
"Yes, I understand."
...
Xu Jing arrived at the parking lot and said to Zhou Qi, " Manager Zhou, drive safely on the road."
Zhou Qi smiled slightly, "Xu Jing, we'll meet again soon."
Xu Jing forced a smile, "We'll see about that."
Zhou Qi looked at her deeply for a moment before getting into the car.
The driver started the vehicle and slowly drove away.
Xu Jing stood in place, watching the car disappear into the distance, gently exhaling.
What does that lunatic Zhou Qi really want?
Xu Jing shook her head and turned to walk towards her own car.
As soon as she sat down inside, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Xu Jing took out her phone and saw a text message from Zhou Qi—
"Come here after work."
An address was attached to the message.
Xu Jing glanced at it, didn’t reply, and directly locked her screen.
Zhou Qi's idea of opening a branch office in Yun City was something Xu Jing initially didn’t take seriously.
She thought Zhou Qi was just being impulsive, probably just casually buying a commercial building, with an area of at most one thousand to eighteen hundred square feet.
