Chapter 394: Chapter 394: The Assistant is not Ordinary
After hearing this, Dongfang Mu decided to skip his afternoon nap and went straight to the office to find Qiao Yin.
And then, he saw Qiao Yin leisurely sipping her Pu’er tea while staring at her computer screen, fingers tapping on the keyboard, looking completely unaffected and at ease.
He left the office again and kicked Secretary Wan, “Isn’t she doing just fine?”
Secretary Wan scratched his head, “Young Master Mu, I swear she’s been crying. She must have been upset by Lu Lingche. Isn’t this your golden opportunity to show your good side? Why are you kicking me?”
“I don’t have to show off. Look at her mental strength. Even if she’s upset, she doesn’t get distracted from her work. If I’d question her about her relationship with Lu Lingche now, I’d only make myself uncomfortable!”
“Oh, I see.”
“Alright, go and pour her more tea, and prepare some fruits and snacks for her.
If Lu Lingche did upset her, she probably didn’t eat well at noon.”
“Young Master Mu, you’re so considerate. I’ll get on it right away!”
Just as Secretary Wan was about to head to the pantry, the elevator doors suddenlly opened and Cui Shuqian walked out.
She smiled at them, “Good afternoon, Young Master Mu.”
Dongfang Mu finds it hard to look at her, especially when she smiles, revealing her crooked sharp teeth, which is quite terrifying.
He sincerely and earnestly suggested Cui Shuqian to have her teeth corrected.
But Cui Shuqian was very angry. She felt that her teeth were her unique feature. By asking her to fix her teeth, he was erasing her personality.
She is very confident, especially with the strong backing of her family, she ignores any suggestion.
She thinks she looks a bit ordinary, but is perfect otherwise.
But Dongfang Mu thought she looked exactly like the hatchetfish that lives deep in the sea!
The Arabian Sea could fit between her two small round eyes.
She barely had a nose and her mouth was quite large. Due to her undeveloped jawbone, she had almost no chin, and her crooked teeth caused her mouth to bulge out.
No matter how hard he tried, Dongfang Mu couldn’t convince himself to marry her with such an ugly appearance!
He refused her, ready to bear the brunt at home, hoping that Cui Shuqian would be the one to voluntarily reject him instead.
So he smiled and said, “Good afternoon, hatchetfish, what brings you here?”
Cui Shuqian’s smile stiffened momentarily, but she quickly returned to her natural demeanor, “I do have a matter to discuss with you. May we talk in your office? I won’t take up too much of your time.”
“Sure, please.”
Cui Shuqian nodded her head and took the lead into his office.
Seeing Qiao Yin sitting in front of Dongfang Mu’s computer, she paused a bit, then smiled and greeted Qiao Yin, “Good afternoon.”
Qiao Yin immediately stood up, “Good afternoon, Miss Cui.”
Cui Shuqian nodded politely, then sat down on the sofa, “Dongfang Mu, could we have some privacy? The matter I wish to discuss involves business secrets.”
Dongfang Mu had an idea of what she wanted to talk about. He replied with a warm smile, “No problem, just speak your mind. I trust my assistant enough to let her stay. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have hired her.”
Cui Shuqian looked surprised, “I remember you have a hard time trusting people. It seems your assistant is pretty special to you. Is your trust because of her extraordinary beauty?”
Dongfang Mu responded seriously, “It’s because of her outstanding ability. She is indeed very beautiful, but that’s not why I hired her. Qiao Yin and I have a purely professional relationship. Miss Cui, aren’t you against judging a book by its cover? What you’re doing now is something you supposedly despise most, aren’t you?”
Cui Shuqian promptly apologized, “I’m sorry, Assistant Qiao, I was wrong to say that. You won’t hold it against me, will you?”
Qiao Yin responded lightly, “I don’t mind..”
