Most of the people at the television station, whether related or not, participated in this free Mid-Autumn Island trip, many bringing their families along.
It was said that Ouyang from the broadcasting department even brought along the neighbor of his aunt's son-in-law's cousin's granddaughter! The most jaw-dropping news was that Xiao Youfeng also came!
Insiders speculated that Xiao Youfeng, who usually held herself in high regard, might have succumbed to the charm of the Sweet Potato President this time. Fortunately, her father was the deputy director of the television station, so being close to power might just allow her to grasp this "big moon." Everyone was buzzing with excitement, eager to watch the unfolding drama.
Zhao Qingqing deeply felt that gossip truly deserved its reputation as the most beloved pastime of the masses after mahjong.
The island was usually bustling with tourists, but on this festive day, it felt eerily quiet, as if it had been reserved just for them. While heading to the restroom, Zhao Qingqing overheard hotel staff chatting and learned that the president had booked the entire island and its services for a whole week.
Zhao Qingqing marveled inwardly; she felt she had gained a new understanding of what "burning money" truly meant.
The banquet was set on the top floor of the hotel, featuring Chinese cuisine with ten tables laid out. With the sea breeze and clear waters under a full moon, everyone seemed as relaxed and joyful as if they were celebrating in their own backyard.
On the dining table were not only Xinghua Tower's lotus seed mooncakes but also Zhao Qingqing's favorite Ronghua cured meats, Holiland's snow skin pastries, and Origin's ice cream. However, her attention was entirely captured by a certain "scenery."
These "sceneries" usually hid among her female colleagues, but none were as eye-catching as Xiao Youfeng.
With a deep V neckline and an open back, accentuating her waist in an intriguing way, Zhao Qingqing glanced down at her own shirt dress, pouted slightly, and subtly tucked her little bun into hiding.
She was so focused on concealing her shortcomings that she didn't even notice Xu Ziqi sitting beside her.
"Zhao Qingqing," Xu Ziqi raised an eyebrow playfully and asked her half-jokingly, "On such a beautiful night, would you like to share a moment with me?"
"Huh?" Zhao Qingqing finally noticed Xu Ziqi. She turned to look at him; clearly, her shock at this close encounter with her idol outweighed any joy. But how could he say something so bold?
Xu Ziqi held out a bouquet of roses towards her: "Miss Zhao, um... can I call you Qingqing?"
Zhao Qingqing felt a bit awkward. But who was he? Her idol! So she gritted her teeth and nodded.
Xu Ziqi smiled brightly: "Qingqing, I don’t like beating around the bush. You are the only person who has moved my heart in these past two years; I really don’t want to miss this chance."
Under the moonlight, Xu Ziqi's gaze was earnest, his eyes reflecting deep affection. In this serene night setting, he truly captivated hearts.
Zhao Qingqing froze. If it weren't for her experience in navigating such situations, she might have been lost in those eyes. Instead, she instinctively let her gaze drift to another table.
After a moment of thought and a sniffle, she said, "But... I can't muster my heart to respond to you."
Xu Ziqi did not quite understand.
Zhao Qingqing blinked and said, “My heart has already promised to be sold to someone else. Although he may not cherish it, it can’t be taken back now.”
A flicker of hurt crossed Xu Ziqi's eyes, but he eventually shrugged and patted Zhao Qingqing on the back. “Well, I wish you good luck.”
As she watched Xu Ziqi's tall and graceful figure leave, Zhao Qingqing couldn’t help but slap her thighs twice and mutter to herself, “Zhao Qingqing, you’re such a fool.”
Oh no, she had missed the chance to be close to her idol.
At the main table, Xiao Youfeng and Ye Jing had moved closer together. Zhao Qingqing felt both regretful and frustrated, unable to resist lifting her glass of red wine.
What could relieve her worries? Only a glass of Patus could do that.
Drunk, Zhao Qingqing was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. She transformed from the innocent little bunny she had been during the day into a whirlwind that rushed over to the main table, completely ignoring Ye Jing’s frown. She directly grabbed Xiao Youfeng’s hair and exclaimed loudly, “Miss Xiao, can I have a word with you?”
Xiao Youfeng was extremely displeased but restrained herself due to her carefully maintained gentle image. She suppressed her anger and stood up gracefully, just about to ask Zhao Qingqing what she wanted to say when Zhao Qingqing suddenly took over her chair.
A collective gasp echoed in the air...
The leaders from the company quietly instructed the Children’s Group leader to go fetch that embarrassing girl back.
The group leader broke into a cold sweat; just as he stood up, he was so startled that he sat back down again.
Zhao Qingqing... She... actually... wrapped her arms around the president’s neck! Then she began smiling at him in various ways—innocent smiles, flirtatious smiles, arrogant smiles, silly smiles, cunning smiles, and even a twitching smile at the corners of her mouth... As she continued to laugh more absurdly, onlookers began to feel embarrassed for her. Yet the president remained calm and composed, showing no change in expression.
Then Zhao Qingqing pouted in grievance and murmured, “So you really have changed your taste?” With that, she tilted her head back and began to unleash her secret weapon.
At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; truly, there were mountains beyond mountains and storms beyond storms.
Zhao Qingqing... She... actually... started... unbuttoning her shirt!!!
She had a V-neck too; although it wasn’t as deep as some others’, someone used to love it dearly. Ah, what was she thinking? This was so embarrassing! The shy Zhao Qingqing was completely unaware that what she was doing now was a hundred times more embarrassing than what she had initially thought.
The buttons were uncooperative; Zhao Qingqing struggled mightily before managing to undo two of them. Just as she was “fighting” with the third button, a hand suddenly grasped hers. Then, lips exuding a cool fragrance like moonlight pressed against hers.
For some reason, tears suddenly flowed from Zhao Qingqing's eyes. Oh no, how nostalgic this was—the kiss tasted like clear wine mixed with honey.
After a brief kiss, Zhao Qingqing felt something amiss with her hand resting on her chest. She touched her collar and discovered that the buttons had mysteriously fastened themselves back up!
"In the future, if you want to unbutton, you should ask for my permission first," the CEO whispered softly in Zhao Qingqing's ear. She felt a tickling sensation and giggled as she nodded. The CEO then helped the tipsy Zhao Qingqing to her feet, preparing to head downstairs.
The scene unfolded like a roller coaster, leaving the onlookers utterly dumbfounded.
Xiao Youfeng was the first to regain his composure, feeling embarrassed. He couldn't help but let out a soft huff, "If there are hidden rules, at least choose someone more suitable."
"Suitable? Like pretending to be something you're not?" A light remark from the CEO left Xiao Youfeng feeling foolish.
As everyone gradually came back to their senses, the team leader hesitated about whether to step in, but someone had already taken a stand.
It was Xu Ziqi, who reached out and grabbed Zhao Qingqing's hand. "Thank you for your concern, CEO, but I’ll take care of my girlfriend."
Ye Jing did not let go; he fixed his gaze on Zhao Qingqing's slender wrist held in Xu Ziqi's grip and slowly said, "Girlfriend? But she is my legal spouse. I believe I should be the one to care for her."
Xu Ziqi's hand dropped with a "slap."
Legal spouse... spouse... partner...
Leaving behind a crowd once again stunned into silence, the CEO elegantly carried the half-drunken Zhao Qingqing away.
