Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Cheng Yuqi listened to their conversation and wore a sweet smile. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that all of them had risen from their seats and were hastily straightening their clothes. She respectfully greeted, “Good afternoon, President Bo!”

Cheng Yuqi turned around and spotted Bo Yi.

“Yi!”

However, before Cheng Yuqi could reach Bo Yi, several higher-ups rushed forward.

Upon spotting Bo Yi, they immediately approached to report an urgent matter. Then, everyone quickly made their way towards the elevator, seemingly oblivious to someone calling out to Bo Yi.

Meanwhile, Mu Qing remained behind to intercept Cheng Yuqi. “Lady Yuqi, you’re here? Is there something you need from Master Bo?”

“I brought afternoon tea for Yi and you. 1 need to speak with Yi urgently,” Cheng Yuqi replied, her gaze fixed on Bo Yi’s retreating figure as she anxiously tried to chase after him, but Mu Qing obstructed her path.

“I really have an important matter to discuss with Yi!”

Mu Qing explained, “Master Bo is currently dealing with an emergency.”

Cheng Yuqi persisted, “I can wait for him.”

Mu Qing advised, “Master Bo won’t be able to finish his work quickly. Lady Yuqi, why don’t you return home and wait? If there’s anything, you can call or message Master Bo.”

“It’s alright. I’ll wait here. There are things 1 must discuss with him in person.”

Cheng Yuqi attempted to pursue, but Mu Qing continued to block her way. “Lady Yuqi, if you have any concerns, you can tell me first. 1 can convey your message to Master Bo…”

Cheng Yuqi, although displeased by the obstruction, maintained a forced smile due to her status. “Assistant Mu, are you planning to keep me from seeing him?”

Mu Qing apologized, saying, “I apologize, but I’m concerned that Lady Yuqi might wait in vain.”

“I’ve already said it’s fine. Regardless of how busy he is, I can wait!” Cheng Yuqi circumvented Mu Qing and hurried toward the elevator.

Mu Qingnian refrained from embarrassing her publicly because of her status as the adopted daughter of the Cheng family. However, since she had chosen not to heed his advice, he had no alternative. Master Bo’s heart belonged solely to Miss Fang Yuan, and no one else…

Seeing Cheng Yuqi step into the elevator, he reluctantly followed her.

The six receptionists were uncertain about the situation, but a sense of unease lingered.

“Do you think President Bo isn’t fond of Lady Yuqi?”

“It can’t be, can it? Lady Yuqi is extraordinary in every aspect—looks, knowledge, family background, talent—she’s unrivaled.”

“But why did Special Assistant Mu stop her?”

“President Bo can’t possibly be deliberately ignoring Lady Yuqi, right? You can see how swamped he is the moment he arrives. Special Assistant Mu must have thought it through and didn’t want Lady Yuqi to wait in vain.”

“True, President Bo has always been aloof. It’s as if he’s solely focused on work. We’ve worked here for years, and has President Bo ever acknowledged our presence?”

“Never.”

“Exactly. That’s why we shouldn’t overthink their relationship!”

Furthermore, if there were truly changes in their relationship, why would Lady Yuqi be smiling? How could she be in the mood to bring them afternoon tea?

“Lady Yuqi is only 18, but she’s already achieved so much in life. She comes from an affluent family, and her fiance is exceptionally remarkable.”

“Yes, she outshines us in every aspect.”

“We’re already 28. We either lack boyfriends or savings… Sigh, when will we ever lead our ideal lives?”

“Alright, keep your voices down. If anyone overhears us, it’ll affect the entire office atmosphere.”

Meanwhile, on another front,

As soon as Fang Yuan stepped into her office, Wang Ning promptly arranged the sampled dishes on her desk. There were a total of thirteen dishes displayed.

“Welcome, President Fang,” Wang Ning greeted with utmost respect. “These dishes are for the lunch.”

Fang Yuan examined the spread before her. She lifted a bowl of fish soup and took a whiff. Next, she inspected the stir-fried sausage, going as far as using chopsticks to dissect it. Her expression turned chilly.

“President Fang, is there an issue with the food?” Wang Ning observed Fang Yuan’s change in demeanor.

“Let’s go to the cafeteria.” Upon witnessing Fang Yuan hastily exit her office, many curious employees followed, eager to witness the unfolding drama.

Fang Yuan led the way to the cafeteria. In the kitchen area, a dishwasher was washing dishes, while two chefs relaxed in a flowerbed, engaged in a conversation while smoking. Although they didn’t recognize Fang Yuan upon her entrance, they deduced her identity when they noticed Wang Ning following closely behind. This had to be the new president, President Fang, who was already causing quite a stir.

“Assistant Wang, is that President Fang?” One of the young chefs flicked his cigarette to the ground and stamped it out.

Seeing Fang Yuan venture into the kitchen, Wang Ning calmly clarified, “President Fang is simply inspecting the premises. There’s no need to be nervous.”

Once inside the kitchen, Fang Yuan immediately noticed the dismal state of cleanliness.

One of the young chefs explained, “We haven’t had a chance to clean up after lunch yet. It’s usually spotless. Last week, the health inspectors came by and even gave us an A-grade rating..”
