207 A Huge Matter

Typically, the job of an assistant to a CEO could be said to be an elite’s job. An assistant should wear a suit every day, enter the office building, and take the elevator directly to the president’s office.

But because Ming Liuyi was pregnant, Yao Zizhou could not be distracted, and of course he could not oversee many things himself.

If it were someone else, they might have some complaints in their heart. After all, they had to do all the work, but there were no benefits of a promotion or a raise.

However, Zhao Qiang was very clear-headed. He knew that the mistress’ pregnancy was a huge matter. He also knew that the mistress was very good to everyone. Now was a critical time. Zhao Qiang’s only thought was to try his best to share the burden.

Wang Ke’er also came to visit Ming Liuyi often. On the way, she shopped for some things for pregnant women and babies, so she bought them and sent them over.

However, Ming Liuyi was very protective of her child. She knew that Wang Ke’er had some feelings for Zhao Qiang, so whenever Wang Ke’er came, she would quietly dismiss Zhao Qiang. She could not let Zhao Qiang be corrupted by money!

Today, Wang Ke’er brought more things over for her visit. She looked around, and said, “Zhao Qiang is still not around? Is he avoiding me on purpose?”

Ming Liuyi stared at Wang Ke’er. She snorted and said, “Give up. I won’t let you ruin Zhao Qiang.”

Wang Ke’er was speechless. After some thought, she said, “Look here, you don’t need a caretaker here. Let Zhao Qiang work at my place.”

“If Zhao Qiang is willing, no one can force him,” Ming Liuyi said.

When it grew dark and Wang Ke’er had left, Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou and said, “Goodness, even though Wang Ke’er isn’t bad, she really isn’t suitable for Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang is just a normal person. He’ll definitely be toyed with by rich women.”

Yao Zizhou was speechless. He did not want to get involved in this. Zhao Qiang had once sent Wang Ke’er home alone and did not come back the whole night, and Yao Zizhou did not tell Ming Liuyi about that day.

But this matter was already making her so worried, and Yao Zizhou had to resolve it somehow. After Ming Liuyi fell asleep, Yao Zizhou called for Zhao Qiang.

“It hasn’t been that busy recently, you can make your own arrangements. If there’s anything, I’ll let you know in advance. What you need to do now is to settle the matter with Wang Ke’er as soon as possible.”

“There’s nothing for me and Wang Ke’er to settle,” Zhao Qiang said after a moment of silence.

Yao Zizhou said, “Wang Ke’er has been asking for you a lot recently. Liuyi is always worried about you. Tomorrow, just admit to your relationship with Wang Ke’er and let the matter rest.”

Zhao Qiang was speechless. “…I really have nothing going on with her.”

“Then we’ll have to think of a way to resolve this,” Yao Zizhou said.

…

Zhao Qiang returned to his room, thinking about Yao Zizhou’s words.

He quickly came to a decision. It had been three months since his last interaction with Wang Ke’er, and she had likely grown curious from the many back-and-forth interactions they had.

Since Wang Ke’er wanted Zhao Qiang to go to her place, he might as well go over and settle the problem. Perhaps Wang Ke’er would give up after learning more about him.

The next morning, Ming Liuyi was eating breakfast when Zhao Qiang came up and said, “Madam, I have some things to deal with and can’t be at home for the time being. If you or the master need anything, please feel free to call me. I will come at any time.

“Where are you going?” Ming Liuyi immediately asked, alarmed.

“Don’t worry, Madam. I know what I have to do,” said Zhao Qiang.

Ming Liuyi gently touched her stomach and sighed. “You can go home anytime.”

Zhao Qiang nodded and went back to his room to pack his luggage. Zhao Qiang also sent a message to Wang Ke’er.

[Do you still live at this address?]

Wang Ke’er immediately replied, [That’s right! I’m a little busy today, so I can’t pick you up. You can take the bus here.]

After Zhao Qiang confirmed that there was no mistake, he replied, [Okay.]

He left the villa and took a taxi to Wang Ke’er’s house. Zhao Qiang had sent her home once before, so he found her place very quickly this time.

He pressed the intercom button, but no one answered.

‘Not at home?’

Zhao Qiang stood at the door and waited for a moment. Eventually, he heard an old woman’s say, “Dear boy, slow down.”

Zhao Qiang looked up and saw a little boy running from a distance. When the boy saw Zhao Qiang, he immediately wanted to stop, but he accidentally tripped over his left foot and almost fell. Zhao Qiang quickly caught the little boy to prevent him from falling.

The old lady behind him quickly stepped forward and said, “Oh my goodness, you’re so careless. Thank you so much, young man.”

The boy was also quite frightened, and his face was a little pale, but he still obediently said, “Thank you, big brother.”

“You’re welcome,” Zhao Qiang said.
