Chapter 133 - 134 A Pleasant Surprise (10)
No one knew who first noticed Qin Mobai arrive, but someone coughed and frantically signaled with their eyes. The few who were still chattering were eager to gossip about the boss, and they certainly weren’t going to miss the chance.
They just forgot that this was the office, and forgot that Qin Mobai could come out at any time.
"Do you have too little work that you still have time to chat here?" A cold voice interjected, with a forcefulness that made all the employees in the president’s office feel the pressure, so they fell silent.
The crowd pushed Su Lin forward, since he was highly valued by the president... oh, but now it seems the favor is on Lou Xi, they were just the old guard.
"President, we’ll get to work immediately and complete the tasks you gave us with high quality and efficiency!" Su Lin said ingratiatingly.
Qin Mobai threw him a casual glance, snorted, and said, "I’ll deal with you all tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the crowd seemed to suddenly understand something...
"President, does that mean you’re letting us off work?" Su Lin tentatively asked.
The only response Su Lin got was Qin Mobai’s solitary and arrogantly cold silhouette.
Once Qin Mobai left, they breathed a sigh of relief. Su Lin promptly loosened up and said, "Alright, alright, let’s disperse. From now on, all we need to do is keep little Lou Xi happy, and little Lou Xi will keep the president happy, then we’ll all have good days ahead!"
"Why does it sound like Lou Xi is some kind of femme fatale!" a male assistant protested on Lou Xi’s behalf.
"Of course not a femme fatale; our President Qin is too smart to be swayed by beauty!"
The group chatted and laughed as they left the office, seemingly forgetting the pile of work Qin Mobai left for them, and the consecutive days of intense overtime awaiting them.
...
After Lou Xi prepared a bowl of tomato and egg noodles and brought it up, she found the president’s office completely quiet. Though the lights were still on, it seemed like there wasn’t a soul around!
She carried the bowl towards Qin Mobai’s office and saw him standing by the floor-to-ceiling window smoking. His movements were practiced, and the pale blue smoke curled out from the corner of his lips, giving him an ethereal aura.
At his feet were the bright lights of Nancheng, with the entire city seemingly beneath him.
At that moment, he seemed like someone isolated from the mortal world, distant and unreal.
He has always been so aloof, hasn’t he?
Perhaps he smelled the fragrance of the noodles, as Qin Mobai turned his head and looked at Lou Xi with a deep gaze.
"Young Master Qin, why did everyone leave?" With just the two of them in the office, it felt a bit creepy, and wasn’t she a bit timid...
Qin Mobai only looked deeply at Lou Xi. Though there were two or three meters between them, his gaze seemed to penetrate through everything and fall on her, making Lou Xi’s heart skip a beat for a moment.
She still wavered at a single look from Qin Mobai.
"Come here." Qin Mobai spoke, his voice deep, carrying a charm only a man could have.
And it was the kind Lou Xi found completely impossible to refuse.
So she walked toward Qin Mobai.
Whether it was his voice that enchanted her, or something else, as Lou Xi walked towards Qin Mobai, it seemed she snagged on something, and then...
"Bang—"
Do you know how it feels when you accidentally spill the carefully cooked dinner you made for your boyfriend?
Just look at Lou Xi’s expression now. She felt that even if she were to be given the whole world, it wouldn’t be as important as that bowl of noodles!
