Chapter 918: Chapter 346: Qi Jiayi’s Secret
The outfit wasn’t flashy, but it perfectly highlighted Zhou Wang’s model-like figure. Coupled with his meticulously styled hair, he exuded both youthful vigor and the composure of a successful person. His seemingly overflowing charm inexplicably made Qi Jiayi’s heart skip a beat.
She wasn’t someone who placed much importance on appearances. Although she had interacted with Zhou Wang several times before, it only showed that today, Zhou Wang was indeed handsome enough to stir her emotions.
Zhou Wang caught the wavering in Qi Jiayi’s gaze and felt quite pleased.
…it wasn’t in vain that I had a video call with Miss Yang before heading out, asking her for advice on my outfit and then followed a short video tutorial to style my hair in a way that suited my face.
“Sister Jiayi, do you need me to make tea for you?”
Sura, the assistant’s voice, brought the distracted Qi Jiayi back to reality.
She quickly adjusted her expression, picked up the golden-rimmed glasses on the table and put them on, smiling slightly, “No need, I’ll serve Mr. Zhou myself. You go ahead and take care of other things.”
A slightly disappointed Sura stole a glance at the handsome young man next to her before quietly exiting the office and closing the door.
“Please have a seat, Mr. Zhou. Would you like something to drink?”
As Qi Jiayi invited him, Zhou Wang subtly observed her.
He had just seen her without glasses, and sure enough, wearing golden-rimmed glasses made her demeanor much softer… Her features were beautiful even without them, but her aura was quite aloof.
Jiang Mo had a cold demeanor, Jiang Qingkui was more of a cold beauty, but the woman in front of him was truly high and aloof, giving off a sense of detachment when not smiling.
“Do you have iced cola?”
Zhou Wang asked casually while continuing to observe her.
Qi Jiayi paused, “We only have tea and coffee. If you need, I can ask my assistant to get it for you…”
“Then never mind, just a glass of cold water will be fine.”
After pouring Zhou Wang a glass of water, Qi Jiayi sat across from him with her legs crossed. Unfortunately, she was wearing formal trousers today, so there wasn’t any pleasing sight from Zhou Wang’s angle.
“Mr. Zhou, your sudden visit, is there something urgent?”
Today’s Qi Jiayi returned to her previous demeanor when dealing with Zhou Wang, her smile was warm and friendly, making people feel comfortable.
“Indeed, there are a few things. The first is to confirm with you, Lawyer Qi, if there’s truly no desire to come work for me?”
As Zhou Wang took out a cigarette, Qi Jiayi quickly fetched an ashtray from under the table and placed it in front of him.
Hearing Zhou Wang’s question, Qi Jiayi hesitated slightly but still smiled wryly, “Mr. Zhou, actually, I’m quite interested. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have joked with you during our first meeting. Unfortunately, after weighing things, my current job suits me better, so I can only apologize to you…”
Indeed, though both times she refused, her tone and attitude had noticeably changed.
Seemingly confirming something, Zhou Wang nodded, “Alright then, let’s talk about that later. Now, the second matter; I want to register a business association. Can you assist me with that?”
Qi Jiayi didn’t expect Zhou Wang to skip the topic so easily and immediately felt relieved, quickly responding with a smile:
“Of course, it’s not complicated. As long as the documents are complete, I can handle it for you quickly… However, for the association’s premises, you’ll need to prepare in advance, as there are strict requirements here. It’s best to have a real company address.”
“It’s already prepared. I’ll have my Secretary Jiang Qingkui coordinate with you later. But I need it urgently, so I need you to act fast.”
“Okay, rest assured, Mr. Zhou. Once I receive the documents, it shouldn’t take more than two or three days…”
After Qi Jiayi agreed with a nod, Zhou Wang chatted with her for a while longer. As time went by, Qi Jiayi started checking her watch frequently.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back, “Um, Mr. Zhou, I have a client meeting shortly. If there’s nothing else…”
“Oh, I see, then I shouldn’t take up your time…”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang paused discussing Middle Eastern affairs, but to Qi Jiayi’s confusion, he didn’t seem to want to leave.
While Qi Jiayi was puzzled, Zhou Wang said, “Jiayi, could I trouble you with something?”
“What?” Qi Jiayi was momentarily taken aback by Zhou Wang’s sudden address change, but then smiled and nodded, “As long as it’s within my reach, Mr. Zhou…”
“The thing is, you know I studied law too, and I’ve always been quite curious about the legal profession. Unfortunately, I probably won’t have the chance to become a lawyer in this lifetime. Since I’m available today, could I accompany you as an assistant to meet with that client?”
Zhou Wang smiled, and before Qi Jiayi could respond, he quickly added, “Don’t worry, I won’t disrupt you. Just pretend I’m not there…”
“This…”
Qi Jiayi didn’t expect Zhou Wang to request such a thing, and she couldn’t find a reason to refuse him on the spot.
The so-called rules evidently didn’t apply to Zhou Wang.
After a moment’s hesitation, Qi Jiayi couldn’t think of any reason against it, so she nodded, agreeing to satisfy Zhou Wang’s curiosity.
Following that, accompanied by Zhou Wang, Qi Jiayi met with today’s last visiting client.
