The ringtone rang once, and the phone was picked up. A deep male voice came from the other end, "Hello?"
Shu Ran suddenly felt nervous. Just a moment ago, she had made up her mind and filtered through everything she wanted to say in her mind. But hearing his voice reminded her of what he did last night, leaving her with lingering fears and unsure of how to start.
She pressed her forehead, feeling conflicted for a long time, and finally stammered out, "Hello... this is Shu Ran."
There seemed to be a light chuckle from the other end, lazily saying, "I know."
In the conference room, more than twenty department heads were bowing their heads, trying to minimize their presence, fearing they might disturb the big boss.
But who could tell them that the usually serious and commanding big boss was now happily chatting on the phone, occasionally laughing with a hint of spring in his heart?
When the boss smiled, their hearts trembled along with it...
It was shocking...
A major mystery of Qin Group...
The crowd's curiosity exploded. Who was the person on the other end of the line?
Someone who could make the big boss bring his phone to a meeting, someone who could make him answer calls amidst his busy schedule, and now someone who made him laugh so happily.
Heavens... could it be that the future Boss Lady of the group has appeared?
As they pondered secretly, Qin Xian at the main seat glanced at Lina beside him, and Lina immediately understood.
With her high heels clicking on the conference room floor, Lina gracefully walked up to the stage. Having followed Qin Xian for a long time, she had also picked up a bit of his decisiveness. She lowered her voice, with an unspoken meaning: "Let's conclude today's meeting here. Thank you all for your hard work."
"Please do not make any noise when leaving."
After speaking, she opened the conference room door and stood at the entrance, waiting for everyone to leave before carefully closing the door without making a sound.
As soon as she stepped out of the office, several gossiping female employees gathered around to inquire about the news. Some asked directly, while others hinted subtly, all chattering at once.
"Lina, who is President Qin on the phone with?"
"Lina, does our group have a Boss Lady now?"
"Is it that Jiang's Daughter from before?"
However, Lina did not respond to any of them. Adopting the demeanor of a chief secretary, she sternly scolded, "You dare to speculate about President Qin's affairs? Do you want to lose your jobs?" Seeing their frightened expressions, she coldly added, "Alright, alright, disperse. Focus on your work; the company won't treat you unfairly."
After Lina left, a few female employees scoffed at her attitude. Unfortunately, their positions were lower than hers, so they could only gossip behind her back; that was all they could do.
Once she was far away, they huddled together again to gossip, discussing topics ranging from "who is treated differently by the president" to "what their imagined rival would be like"...
The conversation flowed endlessly.
Meanwhile, Shu Ran finally organized her chaotic thoughts. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves and mustered the courage to speak. "Um... thank you. Thank you for helping Aunt Shang with her debts; I will pay you back."
"Oh? When do you plan to repay me?" Qin Xian teased her deliberately.
"I will pay you back as soon as possible. How about this? I'll write you an IOU; just give me your bank account details and I'll pay you back every month..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Xian interrupted from the other end of the line: "I'm not so poor that I need my fiancée to send me money."
"What?" Shu Ran was momentarily confused by his words and didn't know how to respond.
"Let's go watch a movie tonight." Qin Xian seemed unwilling to continue the topic. "I'll pick you up at eight. That's it; I'm still in a meeting."
He hung up after saying that.
Shu Ran listened to the busy tone on the phone, feeling both amused and frustrated.
Putting down her phone, she silently planned in her heart that she still had to repay the money. It didn't matter if he didn't accept it; she could save the money first and return it to him once she had gathered the full amount.
This idea reassured her and finally relieved her of a burden.
But what about her relationship with Qin Xian?
The current situation was very awkward. How was she supposed to face Qin Xian?
She owed him a large sum of money, which he had taken upon himself to pay off for Aunt Shang, but in the end, she was the one who benefited.
No matter how she looked at it, she was destined to owe him a favor.
Moreover, she had promised Qin Xian yesterday that she would marry him.
Thinking of this made her head ache.
How did she end up feeling like she had been played?
It was one thing to have contributed her first kiss inexplicably, but now she had also agreed to a marriage proposal and ended up owing a large sum of money.
Heavens.
Something feels off, no matter how I think about it.
Maybe it's just my bad luck lately, Shu Ran comforted herself.
So, what should she do now?
With her current intelligence, she definitely couldn't think through such a profound problem and could only seek help from Zhou Jiajia.
Without hesitation, she dialed Zhou Jiajia's number.
The call connected, and a lively and enthusiastic voice followed: "Hello, this is Zhou Jiajia."
"Jia Jia, it's Shu Ran."
"Oh, Sweetheart! What made you think of calling me?"
"Are you busy right now?" Shu Ran asked.
"Not at all, I'm just bored out of my mind." Zhou Jiajia replied, wearing headphones while leisurely painting her nails.
"Well, I have something to tell you. But first, you have to promise not to curse after you hear it."
"Okay, okay. You're just like Zheng Tong," Zhou Jiajia mumbled.
With a heavy heart, Shu Ran poured out everything that had happened recently to Zhou Jiajia.
After finishing, she took a deep breath. Finally expressing what had been weighing on her heart made her feel much better.
However, it was Zhou Jiajia who felt uncomfortable. Just as she was about to say something, she quickly swallowed her words back.
She held back her urge to curse and said, "This is too shocking. We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you already have a marriage contract."
"Scary, isn't it?"
"Hey, stop joking around. My mind is a mess right now, and I'm just waiting for your guidance."
"Are you asking me how to face Qin Xian next?"
"Yes." Shu Ran nodded, waiting for her advice.
Zhou Jiajia suddenly sat up straight, no longer concerned about her nails, and explained seriously, "What else can you do? Just face it head-on."
"You have to understand that you currently hold two titles: one is Qin Xian's fiancée, and the other is Qin Xian's debt slave. With these two titles, do you think you can freely refuse his invitations? Dream on."
"In my opinion, you can only obediently serve this big Buddha. You have to know that people like him can easily save a kindergarten for their uncle or destroy it just as easily."
"But actually, you don't need to worry too much. Remember what I told you? These rich kids sometimes just play around with Little Girls for fun and get bored after a while."
"So, you need to work hard to earn money and pay off your debts to him. By the time you've cleared your debts, he might have lost interest in you. At that point, you can continue living your life peacefully."
"Since you're here, just settle down. Understand?"
