Chapter 0024: A Woman’s Husband (1 / 2)

Su Wanqing was quite surprised that Qi Zhi Iu was actually evaluating her like this inwardly, ”Even if I have a double standard, that makes sense. Tao Yun belongs to YG, while Xiao Jing belongs to Misty Well. Misty Well is our own creation, I have absolute say there; whereas in yg, I’m at best a high-ranking employee.”

“Although Tao Yun is my assistant, we are more like colleagues working side by side. Colleagues and family members, which one is close and which one is distant, do I have to explain to Qi Shao you one by one?”

There was an undeniable firmness in her voice, clearly taking offense at his questioning.

Qi Zhi Iu heard her displeasure and awkwardly rubbed his nose without answering again.

He knew that, in this game, he was at a disadvantage.

The two of them walked upstairs together, and Qi Zhiyu’s appearance immediately caused a small commotion in the work area.

“Yg’s Qi Shao hey!”

A certain female employee with a passion for gossip recognized him at once.

“Really?”

The man next to him will believe it.

“Why would YG’s Qi Shao come to a small studio like ours?”

“Could it be that what those rich women just said about Ms. Su climbing up the ladder is true? She really went and hooked up with a rich man?”

“Shut up! Don’t you guys understand Mr. Su’s character? With her charisma, why would she need to seduce men?”

The coworkers at the workstation whispered.

None of this escaped Qi Zhi Iu’s keen ears, and he let out an unspecified “uh-huh” as if responding to this unwarranted disturbance.

Xia Yang Jing’s footsteps were steady and strong, picking up the stairs step by step, those sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the hearts of the people, and easily captured a few employees who were mingling with each other at the corners, looking suspicious.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and a light glance made them involuntarily shrink their necks as if they were being brushed by a cold wind.

“Gentlemen, is not the workplace a place for idle chatter? Shouldn’t such precious time be devoted to work?”

Between the words, Xia Yangjing moved with agility and had already drawn a pamphlet from her pocket, quickly recording the number of the offender, “No. 18, No. 15, No. 21, your behavior has violated the company’s discipline, not only did you talk privately, but it also involved untruthful remarks about the executives!”

The sound of the tip of the pen scratching across the paper was loud and clear in the quiet corridor, each mark seeming to be a silent warning to those present.

At this moment, Qi Zhi Iu was standing at the entrance of his office, witnessing this scene, an imperceptible smile quietly bloomed on his lips.” Your inclusiveness towards the receptionist is something that surprises me.”

There was a hint of flirtation in his tone, as if he was enjoying an amusing picture.

“Obviously, they get a meager salary, but they are as worried as those in high positions.”

There is both sarcasm and appreciation in that assessment.

Su Wanqing’s fingertips lightly touched the safe’s combination key, and with a click, the heavy door slowly opened.

From the hidden compartment, she took out a plain-looking envelope, her eyes lingering on its surface for a moment before she blurted out softly, “I’m paying her as much as five times as much as a normal receptionist.”

“Five times?”

Qi Zhiyu’s brows could not hide his surprise, “Simply because she has followed the company for a longer period of time?”

Even though he was impressed with that receptionist, such a pay rate still struck him as overly generous.

Su Wanqing shook her head lightly, a trace of depth flashing in her eyes.

“You’re always judging others by appearances, it’s too superficial.”

As she spoke, she handed the envelope in her hand to Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu took the envelope and quickly skimmed through its contents, his face couldn’t help but sink, “What exactly is the purpose of this?”

His voice was low, revealing an unexplained anger.
