Chapter 332: Chapter 333: Cleaning Room (2)

Translator: 549690339

For the sake of convenience in their work, Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu were both at the old building of Siyi Company at this time.

Chairman Liao wasn’t a fool. The first time he met them, he sensed that Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu seemed to be quite close. Being a local of Yan City, he managed to get some information. He found out that the much talked about Miss Bai who dumped her younger brother to marry the elder, should be her.

Thankfully, the two played ignorant about their relationship, especially Lu Weixi who was hiding her identity, so Chairman Liao decided not to expose them. Since Siyi Company itself needed the old building for their work, he assigned them workspaces on the third and fifth floors separately, so as to avoid any potential issues.

It was already off-working hours by now. As things were getting packed away, the office was at its most chaotic stage. Qin Zhigu stuck his hand in his pocket, clutching a little bear keyring. He walked out of the elevator, as he approached the third floor on the south side, he encountered a young girl who turned out to be Lu Weixi’s assistant, named Xiaochen.

Xiaochen was holding some documents: “Mr. Qin, you must be here to see Lu. She’s in a meeting right now, but she should be done soon.”

Qin Zhigu hummed in acknowledgement, sensing a hint of scrutiny and amusement from Xiaochen. She most likely took him for Lu’s suitor. Clutching the small bear keyring in his hand, which was getting damp from his perspiration, he strolled towards the lounge room, feigning indifference.

Passing a small conference room, he saw Lu Weixi in a seminar with her team. He looked at her through the glass door, studying her face deeply submerged in work, not knowing he was outside watching.

Five years had passed. The young lady who only used to sketch out rough drafts and left it to him to fill in the details, had now become a meticulous team leader who could handle things by herself.

Time had not worn out her spiritual energy; instead, it had smoothed her rough edges and pride. Her design draft for this project demonstrated her understanding of the work, her meticulousness, and a solid foundation.

Even if she doesn’t get selected this time, given time, she’d make her mark.

Unfortunately, he’d forever miss out on being with such a woman.

Perhaps it was because Qin Zhigu’s gaze was too intense that it attracted a lot of onlookers. One of them, a brave soul, actually came over and asked: “Mr. Qin, would you like to have a break in the lounge? Once Lu finishes her meeting, I will call you.”

Qin Zhigu turned around to see that it was Xiaoqian, another one of Lu Weixi’s assistants. Feeling slightly embarrassed, he nodded and went to sit at the bar counter on the far south. Xiaoqian even poured him a cup of coffee. She scanned him from head to foot and left with a cheeky smile.

Even though they were quite far during the foundation-laying ceremony, they had heard what Qin Zhimei had said. It seemed that Lu Weixi and this man, Simon White, were old acquaintances, and perhaps they even had a history together?

Looking at Qin Zhigu’s actions, even without any old feelings, it was apparent that he had eyes for Weixi. The question was whether Weixi was still single? Besides, Qin Zhigu seemed to come from a prestigious background, similar to Simon White, a member of the upper-class society.

Eventually, when Weixi finished her meeting, Xiaoqian hurriedly informed her about Qin Zhigu’s visit.

Weixi slightly furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t believe that Qin Zhigu would be tactless enough to visit her at work. So, she tidied up her things and prepared to pay him a visit at the lounge. As she passed a cleaning room, out of nowhere, an arm reached out and pulled her inside..
