C16 Supervisor Chu Di
There were rumors about Miss Lan and Mr. Qin having an unusual relationship, so he was quite nervous, afraid of saying the wrong thing. But now, it seemed like Miss Lan wasn't anything special after all. He couldn't help but think, "Ah, just another woman charmed by the boss."
Qin Xiao put down his phone, confirming his suspicions about Lan Qingyue. Remembering how she bullied Jee Ange made him quite angry. If it weren't for the relationship between their families, not even Qin's parents would treat Lan Qingyue so politely.
Qin's parents started from scratch, and their business initially thrived, but that success attracted a lot of jealousy. Just as they were about to achieve something significant, they faced numerous setbacks due to sabotage. After a lifetime of hard work and strategic battles, they finally reached where they are today. That's why the Qin family despises underhanded tactics.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao thought of Jee Ange, and a smile crept onto his lips. He was right to trust her; she never disappointed him. In the empty study, the emotions he kept hidden from everyone, including himself, quietly grew.
The next day, Jee Ange swapped her maid outfit for a sharp, professional ensemble, giving her a more mature aura. She picked up her suitcase, which held only a few items, and prepared to leave. But she accidentally bumped into Qin Xiao at the corner.
Rubbing her sore forehead, Jee Ange quickly apologized, "Sorry," and turned to leave. But Qin Xiao grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to work! Didn't you say today?" Jee Ange was puzzled by his question. Was he just joking yesterday? No, Mr. Qin wasn't the type to joke around.
"Taking a suitcase to work? Are you going on a company trip?" Qin Xiao laughed.
Jee Ange was taken aback by his smile. This man had such a captivating smile, with his striking eyebrows and enchanting eyes... Her face flushed slightly, though she didn't notice.
She awkwardly spoke up, "Isn't it supposed to include room and board? Of course, I need to move my things to the employee dorm..."
Was there something odd about that? The more Jee Ange thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Could it be that WELL didn't have employee housing? That couldn't be right...
Qin Xiao was amused by her confusion. Suppressing his laughter, he cleared his throat and pointed to the door behind her. "Here, is your room."
Then he gestured towards the kitchen. "And here, is your board."
Jee Ange realized what he meant—she was to continue staying with the Qin family! She was surprised, even touched, that after yesterday's incident, Qin Xiao still trusted her enough to let her stay.
Feeling a bit embarrassed about her "misunderstanding," she gave an awkward smile. "Haha, so that's how it is... I misunderstood."
She then turned and went into the room, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Of course, that was impossible; the Qin family used top-notch materials, so there were no holes to hide in. All she could do was silently hope, "Please, Mr. Qin, forget about this..."
Little did she know, outside the door, Mr. Qin, confident in the door's soundproofing, was laughing uncontrollably.
However, this little episode didn't dampen Jee Ange's spirits. After navigating the chaos of the morning rush at the subway station, she had already put the incident behind her. Humming a cheerful tune, she stepped into the WELL building, marveling at the grandeur of the Qin family's empire.
