Lu Weixi shook her head calmly: “I’m sorry, I’ve taken a leave of absence due to some family affairs lately. If you have any requests, you can message me on WeChat, and I’ll make the appropriate changes.”
After hanging up the call, if she did indeed meet Huang Caiwei on the ship she wouldn’t be coy, but if they didn’t meet, she wouldn’t go out of her way to explain anything either.
Her relationship with Huang Caiwei wasn’t close enough to warrant her revealing that she was on the ship and had severed ties with Cai Yiren and Bai Changyou.
Huang Caiwei was just the beginning, she would probably meet many more old acquaintances in the future. She could also guess how these people might gossip about her behind her back.
The once pampered and high born Miss Bai, with a doting boyfriend, was now fallen from grace due to her parents’ divorce, with her husband changing from her younger brother to her older brother. She lived a life of seclusion for five years of marriage, while Qin Zhiyou continued to play the field.
They were just seeing it as a form of mockery towards her.
However, she didn’t fear such things. If they wanted to gossip, let them. She didn’t care at all.
Lu Weixi closed the registration information, and Zhao Zihao’s name wasn’t on the roster.
This was, on the one hand, because Zhao Zihao’s ticket was only a second-class cabin, which he had bought through other means and was therefore not on the VIP list.
Secondly, the name Zhao Zihao registered with for boarding was his real name, as written on his German passport: Heinz-Zhao. Although Qin Zhiyou had previously looked into Zhao Zihao’s information and was aware of his real name, he overlooked it when he was looking for Lu Weixi’s room number, as it was signed in German with the gender listed as male.
If Qin Zhiyou had overlooked it, it was even less likely Lu Weixi knew about it. Seeing that there was still time, Lu Weixi was about to pull out her laptop to work when she heard someone knock at the door. She assumed that it was Qin Zhiyou’s subordinate coming to report on work matters, and she was about to excuse herself.
To her surprise, the ones who came in were a makeup artist and a stylist, who were there to prepare her for the evening party.
Lu Weixi was a little surprised, “Isn’t tonight’s banquet just a dinner? It’s not a red-carpet event, nor is it as important as last night’s occasion. All I need to do is dress appropriately, clean myself up, apply a light makeup before going out. While clothes might be tolerable, isn’t hairstyling quite unnecessary?”
Secretary Wang forced a bitter smile: “Young Madam, these are Mr. Qin’s orders. If you do not comply, he might dock my salary or send me to the Africa project department. I don’t want to go to Tanzania to feed elephants.”
One and the same, fellow sufferers. How could they be so cruel to each other?
The makeup and style artists also tearfully pleaded, “Young Madam, please have sympathy for us. Mr. Qin didn’t change his attire or put on any makeup for last night’s banquet, and the superiors reprimanded us. If you refuse to cooperate today, we might end up getting sacked on the spot.”
Lu Weixi could only nod in response.
While Lu Weixi was having her styling done in the backroom, Secretary Wang left. As he was about to go report to Qin Zhiyou, he saw that Qin Zhiyou had just returned.
Qin Zhiyou had just scheduled a meeting with several business partners for the afternoon. While he was in the middle of an engaging discussion, his cell phone rang. The business partners, witnessing his urgency, even joked, “We can always talk about business later. There’s no immediate hurry.”
Qin Zhiyou nodded and smiled, he didn’t even get the chance to use any polite phrases before leaving them with a simple “Let’s get in touch when we have more time,” before abruptly leaving the place, appearing rather hurried.
PS: There is a bit of suspense in this chapter, the remaining two sections are still being written. Babies who can’t wait may go to sleep, I’ll continue updating later..
