Chapter 798: 205: Face-slapping at the Birthday Banquet!_2 Chapter 798: 205: Face-slapping at the Birthday Banquet!_2 This was the first time he had been mocked by a young girl, who insisted he call her ‘Brother Yang’!
Ni Yang was toying with the Night Pearl in her hand, and then said, “Mr. Du, I will take the pearl. You may excuse me, I have some obligations.”
Mr. Du stood up to bid her farewell.
As she crossed through the beaded curtain, Ni Yang seemed to suddenly remember something. She glanced back at Mr. Du, “By the way, Mr. Du, my senior was part of your rescue team. I hope you remember to thank him as well.”
The glinting crystal beads reflected on her distinct features, creating a hazy beauty sprinkled with an aura of mystery.
Mr. Du nodded slightly. He partook the beaded curtain and the visage before him became clear, “Of course,” he said.
Ni Yang gave a nod and turned to leave.
Wang Zeqi was waiting outside the door when it suddenly opened, and Ni Yang emerged.
“Miss Ni,” Wang Zeqi said respectfully.
Ni Yang looked at Wang Zeqi, and suddenly seemed to realize something. She said with surprise, “You’re a Wang, aren’t you?”
“Yes”. Wang Zeqi nodded.
Ni Yang continued, “So, Mr. Wang Yue is your father, right?”
Wang Zeqi was surprised, “Miss Ni, you know my father?”
Ni Yang replied, “Brother! I am your father’s newest student. I have seen your picture at my master’s place!”
Wang Zeqi did not expect Ni Yang to be his father’s student!
“Are you really my father’s new student?” an excited Wang Zeqi asked. “How are my parents doing? Are they well?”
He had been away from home for work for quite some time and was always concerned about them.
Ni Yang nodded, “Brother, our master and his wife miss you. When you have the time, remember to visit them.”
Wang Zeqi scratched his head, “I don’t have any days off recently.”
In fact, Wang Zeqi hadn’t been home for almost two years.
As Mr. Du’s personal assistant, he needed to ensure Mr. Du’s safety at all times, leaving him little freedom with his time.
Ni Yang added, “Brother, do not worry. Mr. Du is such a good and grateful person. There is no doubt that he, being such an exceptional leader, will grant you leave. When that time comes, make sure to visit the master and his wife!”
Mr. Du, stood on the side smiling, this cheeky girl sure knows how to play her part!
She already knew Wang Zeqi was her senior and pretended to recognize him for the first time.
She purposely praised him greatly in his presence with the intention of securing a few days off for Wang Zeqi.
If he didn’t, wouldn’t that mean he wasn’t a good leader?
An unconscious smile touched the corners of Mr. Du’s mouth.
Ni Yang’s words had left the honest Wang Zeqi at a loss for words, “Miss Ni, rest assured. As soon as I have time off, I’ll visit my parents.”
Ni Yang said with a smile, “Brother, you don’t have to be so formal with me, just call me junior sister.”
Calling such a beautiful woman a junior sister made Wang Zeqi feel a bit shy, “J-junior sister.”
Ni Yang continued, “Brother, I have to leave for now.”
“Okay.” Wang Zeqi nodded.
After Ni Yang left, Mr. Du turned to Wang Zeqi, “Ziqi, come inside with me.”
“Okay.” Wang Zeqi followed Mr. Du inside.
Once inside the private room, Mr. Du said, “Ziqi, I’ve got some work to do in the next few days. So, I’ll give you a leave of ten days starting next week. Go home and visit your parents.”
The news of the sudden holidays took Wang Zeqi by surprise, “R-really?”
“Hmm.” Mr. Du nodded. Recalling someone’s instructions, he added, “Also, Ziqi, thank you.”
Wang Zeqi was utterly confused…
Why on earth would Mr. Du thank him?
What had he done to deserve Mr. Du’s gratitude?
He felt somewhat flustered.
While Wang Zeqi was still trying to comprehend the situation, Mr. Du continued, “I’ve been feeling a bit unwell recently, and I heard that your father is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, is that right?”
“Yes! My father is a very talented TCM doctor!” Wang Zeqi nodded and continued, “Mr. Du, why don’t you accompany me home? My father could examine you.”
Despite Wang Zeqi’s usual slow demeanor, he was surprisingly proactive when it mattered the most.
Mr. Du nodded, “That would hardly be any trouble, thank your father for me, please.”
Scratching his head, Wang Zeqi replied, “Not a problem, not a problem at all!”
As they were already at the Colors of the Sky, they could not resist a fine feast.
