Principal Wang looked at the handsome man before him. He certainly knew of his background, yet he hadn’t expected him to come for Hua Xiaomo.
"President Qi, it’s against the rules to give out a graduation certificate ahead of time... You see..." Principal Wang said with some difficulty.
"Is that so? It seems I am in the wrong for making such a request of Principal Wang. In that case, we won’t disturb you any further." Qi Longbing had already stood up, a coldness sweeping across his handsome face.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Principal Wang dared not offend him. He knew that each year a large number of students would go on to work at the Qi Imperial Court. This greatly benefited their academy’s recruitment, as many parents chose their school precisely because of the employment prospects it offered.
Therefore, maintaining a long-term cooperation with the renowned enterprises of City A was certainly a win-win situation.
Principal Wang hurriedly spoke up, "President Qi, please don’t say that. You make it sound like I’m an outsider. I will arrange for Hua Xiaomo’s graduation certificate to be prepared for you immediately."
Before long, Qi Longbing had obtained Hua Xiaomo’s graduation certificate. He looked at the deep red Florence Academy of Fine Arts certificate and casually opened it.
The serious yet beautiful and charming student photo on it held Qi Longbing’s gaze for quite a while. His finger brushed over the photo, a conspiratorial smile playing around the corners of his lips.
Inside the McDonald’s at Ouhong Shopping Mall.
Hua Xiaomo, dressed in her uniform, was bustling around the store. This busyness, paradoxically, filled her with enthusiasm and joy.
At that moment, another tall and handsome figure stepped through the side door. His deep navy-blue casual suit accentuated his composed and elegant demeanor.
Long Shangxuan had just entered the store when his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure...
Long Shangxuan’s phoenix eyes revealed a profound light. Instead of hurrying to the counter to place an order, he chose to sit quietly in a corner near the entrance, watching the busy silhouette of the person not far away.
Surprisingly, not having seen her for just a few days, he felt a renewed sense of freshness upon their reunion...
Immersed in her work, Hua Xiaomo vigorously mopped the floor, seemingly completely unaware of the pair of eyes watching her.
Even with the air conditioning on, it was not enough to cool her down. The store owner, Zhou Xiyang, approached her. He smiled, admiring her serious expression. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Xiao Mo, don’t work too hard," said Zhou Xiyang, the mixed-race store owner, his gaze lingering on her.
"It’s okay, boss," Hua Xiaomo said, smiling as she looked up to meet his gaze. She smiled radiantly, her amber eyes shining like stars, bright and captivating.
"You are the most diligent employee in my store," Zhou Xiyang praised. He then reached into his pocket for a handkerchief and was about to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Suddenly, a melodious voice floated through the air. "Xiao Mo!"
Hua Xiaomo instinctively turned toward the source of the voice. When she saw the familiar navy-blue figure, her eyes lit up.
Zhou Xiyang’s raised arm became somewhat awkward as it brushed past the hair on the back of Xiao Mo’s head. His distinctively handsome face showed a flash of embarrassment, which he quickly concealed.
The elegant Long Shangxuan walked toward her, holding a tissue. He quickly reached her and, looking at her softly with his narrow phoenix eyes, said, "You’re working so hard you’ve started to sweat."
After speaking, he gently raised his arm, and the tissue tenderly touched her cheek.
Something warmly stirred inside Hua Xiaomo, and she became slightly lost in his bright, clear gaze. Brother Long was kind-hearted. He truly was a very good person.
