“I heard from Xiao Liu at the company that the CEO had a minor car accident outside the garage this morning. He was holding a beauty and snatched Sales Department Manager Wang’s car, probably headed to the hospital,” Qin Nan said with admiration in her eyes. “Which department has such a badass beauty, to come up with such a move to hit on the CEO. Tsk tsk, you have no idea, this morning when Wei Ting heard the gossip Xiao Liu told me, her chin almost twisted with anger. Hahaha, it was hilarious.”
“If I were the CEO, I’d also go for the ‘accidental’ encounter with a beauty. How pure and unpretentious as a way to strike up a conversation. Unlike a certain person, dressed all flashy to deliver tea, no different from the gaudy cheap stuff outside. But I’m really curious, who is that girl? Coming up with such a fresh and refined move. So talented! She should be transferred to our Screenwriter Director department, she’d definitely shine.”
Seeing her so full of interest, Chi Enen didn’t know how to tell her the truth, but still couldn’t help herself, “Maybe it really was just an accident?”
To be exact, there was no accident at all!
Li Beijue had already changed direction by the time she rushed out.
Qin Nan looked at her with naive, innocent eyes. “Are you joking with me? Could it be such a coincidence? Xiao Liu said the woman didn’t drive, so what was someone who didn’t drive doing outside the garage, early morning without going to work? Taking a stroll?”
As she spoke, it seemed like she thought of something. She put down her cup and started sizing up Chi Enen suspiciously, “Hold on, Enen, why are you just coming now? You’ve never been late before…”
“…I ran into some trouble on the road.”
“What trouble?” Qin Nan’s gaze fell on her slightly swollen lips. As someone who had been through similar situations, how could she not recognize this as the mark of a man’s rough handling? She narrowed her eyes and spoke like Holmes, “Swollen red lips, disheveled clothing, tsk tsk… Chi Enen, what’s the situation? Spit it out.”
If Qin Nan knew, the whole company would know.
Chi Enen dodged backwards, unable to look at her, and lied, “1 might have eaten something too spicy last night, got a bit of a burn. You’re thinking too much.”
“Really? Is it just me overthinking?” Qin Nan clearly didn’t believe it.
Just as Chi Enen was struggling with how to get away from her, the secretary from the Department boss, Xiao Liu, came over and called out, “Sister Enen, the Big Boss is looking for you.”
Chi Enen felt relieved, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Then, turning back to Qin Nan to explain, “Sister Nan, Fatty Fish is calling for me, I have to go over.”
When it came to Fatty Fish, Qin Nan put the gossip aside and concern showed in her eyes. She pinched Enen’s palm reassuringly and instructed her, “Fatty Fish is probably looking for you because of Wang Jian’s issue. No matter how much he scolds you later, don’t pay him any attention. Insist that you don’t know anything, after all, there are no surveillance cameras in the Toilet, he can’t produce any evidence.”
Chi Enen lightly patted her hand and, under Qin Nan’s worried gaze, headed to Fatty Fish’s office…
There are only a few offices on the office level, and Fatty Fish, being the Afternoon shift Department boss, occupied one in the southeast corner. There were even two ostentatious cacti placed at the doorway, showing off quite a bit.
Chi Enen reached the door, stood still, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
A familiar, irksome voice called out from inside. “Come in.”
She pushed open the door and walked in, only to discover, as she entered, that there were other people in the office aside from Fatty Fish—
