Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292

Su Ziyue never saw Qin Muchen again over the next week.

Even though she did not see him in person, there were lots of news reports about him. Whenever he appeared in these news reports, he always carried a series of awe-inspiring titles, such as ‘The man of the year,’ ‘The heir of the Mogwin Family,’ and ‘The most successful entrepreneur’…

She even suspected if she had actually lived with him for half a year, for he seemed too unfamiliar and aloof this way. On the contrary, Lu Shichu seemed to have lots of spare time, for he would ask her out for dinner whenever he was free.

…

It wasn’t until Su Ziyue had read through more than half of the documents in her hand about the new project when she realized it was already noon.

Li Qingluo called Su Ziyue on her extension and asked, “Director Su, would you like to order takeout or go to the canteen for lunch?”

Su Ziyue answered after a moment’s thought, “Please order takeout for me, thank you.”

“Alright!”

Su Ziyue hung up the phone. She wondered if she had gotten the wrong impression, but she had a feeling that Li Qingluo’s attitude toward her had improved recently.

Then, she recalled what Li Qingluo had previously said after misunderstanding her relationship with Qin Muchen…

Li Qingluo probably behaved like that because of the rumors circulating in the company that she and Lu Shichu were dating. After all, Li Qingluo was a fan of Gu Hanyan, and Qin Muchen was Gu Hanyan’s fiancé.

Su Ziyue felt another headache coming on again as she thought of the matters related to Qin Muchen.

She frowned and was ready to continue reading the documents in her hand when Lu Shichu called her on time. “Ziyue, are you still busy?”

Su Ziyue answered wearily, “Yeah. My company is going to start a new project soon, so I’ll be very busy.”

She had a detailed discussion with Feng Xingyan before she came; the company had a public welfare project this year besides the joint projects with other companies in the industry… In short, she had lots of stuff to attend to.

“You have to eat no matter how busy you are, am I right?” Lu Shichu seemed like he was still in his office, for Su Ziyue heard the sound of a printer at his end of the line.

“That’s why I had my assistant order takeout for me. So, I’ll be keeping on with my stuff, Doctor Lu. I might not be able to eat and drink everywhere with you for a long time ahead.”

Su Ziyue stood up before walking up to the French window. She was on the 20th floor, so she felt dizzy when she looked down at the ground.

She immediately turned around and found a place to sit down.

Nobody knew that she now suffered from severe acrophobia after what had happened two years ago.

Lu Shichu seemed to have chuckled. “Take good care of yourself then. I’ll visit you when I’m free.”

Su Ziyue couldn’t help but laugh, for what Lu Shichu said sounded like she had made him worried about her.

…

Not long after that, Li Qingluo took the takeout inside to give it to Su Ziyue.

Su Ziyue took a few bites from it and was about to continue reading her documents when the President’s secretary personally came to inform her that the representative of the new project’s investor had come to the company.

“Why would the investor’s representative come at such a time?” Su Ziyue closed the document in her hand with a puzzled look on her face.

The company’s current President was a hired professional manager who did not have much power in decision-making. However, the manager’s contract had not expired yet, so Su Ziyue joined the company as a director.

The President’s secretary replied apologetically, “I’m also not clear about the specific details.”

Su Ziyue took a glance at the documents on her desk which she had not finished reading. Then, she took a deep breath and asked, “Has the representative arrived at the company?”

“Yes.” The President’s secretary seemed to recall something as she explained warily, “The investor is a large company, so the President has gone to meet the representative. He said that you could meet the representative first if that’s convenient for you. If not, you can meet the representative after a while…”

Everyone in the company knew that Su Ziyue was related to Feng Xingyan. Therefore, the secretary spoke in a very cautious tone.

“I got it. I’ll be right there.” Su Ziyue couldn’t be bothered to listen to the secretary’s circuitous explanation, so she put away the stuff on her desk and went out.

As she walked, she said to the President’s secretary, “Tell me about the investing company.”

Not only did the investing company volunteer to invest in the new project, but the President had also received its representative personally. Su Ziyue wasn’t that clear about the company; she had just started going through the documents, so she had not come across this information yet.

The President’s secretary sounded a little surprised. “Director Su, don’t you know that LK Group is the investor?”

“LK Group?” Su Ziyue jerked to a halt and looked at the President’s secretary suspiciously.

The President’s secretary was startled for a moment as well. Isn’t it a good thing that LK Group volunteered to invest in this new project? Why would Director Su wear a sullen look on her face?

“It’s alright; you don’t have to come with me anymore. Go ahead and attend to your stuff.” Su Ziyue waved her hand and walked toward the reception room.

LK Group! she thought to herself.

…

When Su Ziyue arrived at the door to the reception room, she was still guessing in her mind that Qin Muchen probably did not come personally.

However, when she heard the familiar voice again, she knew she had put too much faith in luck, for Qin Muchen had indeed come in person.

As she entered the room, Yanyue Media’s President immediately stood up and introduced her to Qin Muchen. “She’s Su Ziyue, our company director,” he said.

Qin Muchen still wore a pure black suit, and his smooth, clean, short haircut made him appear more dignified. But for some reason, Su Ziyue felt that he looked very haggard.

Qin Muchen shifted his gaze to Su Ziyue before taking an earnest and polite glance at her. Then, he stood up and extended his hand toward her, saying, “Nice to meet you, Miss Su.”

Does he want to pretend as if he doesn’t know me in person? thought Su Ziyue to herself. She extended her hand toward him and said with a smile, “I have heard a lot about you, Mr. Qin.”

Qin Muchen held her slim hand with his large hand for merely a second before letting go of it.

Su Ziyue’s eyes flickered, for it seemed that Qin Muchen really wanted to pretend like he did not know her in person.

Su Ziyue dropped her gaze and sat down at one side. Since Qin Muchen pretended like he did not know her, she would just let it be.

After that, Qin Muchen did not take another glance at Su Ziyue until…

“Even though I’ve collaborated with a lot of entertainment companies before, I seldom meet a company director who is as young and beautiful as Miss Su.”

What Qin Muchen said sounded very formal, not to mention that he looked quite serious when he said it with a dignified air.

It was inconvenient for Yanyue Media’s President to answer such words, so he could only turn to look at Su Ziyue.

Su Ziyue did not understand what Qin Muchen was trying to do, so she merely replied with a faint smile, “I’ll take it as a compliment from you, Mr. Qin. Even so, there are still many things that I need to learn, so your advice and comments will be much appreciated.”

Qin Muchen smiled slyly, but if one looked closely, he or she would notice that his lower jaw was tensed up, for he was trying to be patient.

God knows how hard he had been restraining himself while they conversed under the pretext of collaborating partners as though they were strangers. However, this was the only way he could get closer to Su Ziyue and make her interact with him willingly right now.

Qin Muchen kept smiling as he said, “I’ll surely teach you everything I know if you have any questions, Miss Su.”
