But on the third day, Qiao Qiao was burying her head in her meal at the canteen during lunchtime when someone suddenly sat down opposite her. She looked up and was shocked, “Sec… Second Brother?”
Why was Ye Shiqing also eating here?
“Is the food here good?” Ye Shiqing’s eyes were intently focused on Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, noticing that many people were paying attention to them, to be precise, many female colleagues working in the municipal government building were stealing glances at Ye Shiqing.
“It’s pretty good. I’ve… I’ve finished eating…”
As she spoke and got up, she heard Ye Shiqing’s cold voice chiding her, “Is this how you waste food?”
Qiao Qiao looked into her bowl to see more than half of her food untouched. She had meant to take it back to eat but had misspoken because she was nervous.
“Sit down, finish your meal before leaving,” Ye Shiqing’s voice carried a commanding power that seemed to compel obedience.
Qiao Qiao’s body moved without her control, returning to her seat. She quickly finished her meal, said something to Ye Shiqing, and then rushed off in a hurry.
Latter, a colleague from the publicity department caught up with her and asked, “Qiao Qiao, do you know Mr. Ye?”
“I suppose I do, but we’re not very close,” Qiao Qiao replied, before probing, “What does he do here?”
Everyone seemed to respect Mr. Ye quite a bit upon seeing him.
“You actually don’t know what Mr. Ye does?” Her colleague stared at Qiao Qiao as if she were a strange creature.
“I just got here, so it’s not strange that I don’t know, right?” Qiao Qiao responded with a muffled voice.
“Mr. Ye is currently the Secretary-General, highly valued by Mr. Cao. Everyone says that Taicheng’s future belongs to Mr. Ye!” The colleague hinted to Qiao Qiao with a squeeze and a wink, chuckling suggestively, “In our office building, there are quite a few female colleagues eyeing the position of Mr. Ye’s girlfriend…”
When it came to Ye Shiqing, the female colleague couldn’t stop talking, animatedly babbling on.
Qiao Qiao didn’t understand why her colleague was so excited.
No matter how excellent Ye Shiqing was, what did it have to do with them?
But if they said Taicheng was Mr. Ye’s territory, it did make sense. Ye Qilan was unparalleled in the business arena, and if Ye Shiqing were to become the top official in Taicheng, then both the political and commercial spheres would fall into the hands of the Ye brothers.
The thought alone was terrifying!
From that day on, Qiao Qiao would encounter Ye Shiqing in the canteen every now and then.
True to her colleague’s words, wherever Ye Shiqing went, he attracted the adoring gazes of countless women.
Among them, the office director was the most enthusiastic. Wherever Ye Shiqing was, that woman was sure to be there as well.
Qiao Qiao loved to watch the excitement. Every time she saw Ye Shiqing unable to do anything about that woman, she found it inexplicably hilarious.
That day, in the canteen, just as Qiao Qiao finished watching the commotion and was about to leave, Ye Shiqing suddenly called out her name loudly, “Xiaoqiao, come to my office later, I have a gift for you.”
Many people in the canteen were paying attention to Ye Shiqing, including the office director.
The moment Ye Shiqing named her and called her affectionately as Xiaoqiao, everyone’s gaze immediately locked onto Qiao Qiao’s face.
Qiao Qiao’s face turned pale; she saw many women who admired Ye Shiqing looking at her with eyes full of resentment, especially the office director.
Ye Shiqing was pushing her to the brink, using her as a shield.
Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Qiao reluctantly made her way to the door of Ye Shiqing’s office, “Second Brother.”
“Come in,” Ye Shiqing commanded Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao felt that Ye Shiqing was becoming more and more like a bureaucrat, and he hadn’t even ascended to his position yet.
She entered the office and stood a few steps away from Ye Shiqing’s desk, “Second Brother, I don’t need a gift.”
