Chapter 371: Chapter 372: Cash on Delivery (4)
Qin Zhiyou was a bit annoyed, his hints were so clear, with his slightly lifted chin, his slightly curled lips, and his raised eyebrow — wasn’t he implying her to kiss him? She always seemed to be so smart in dealing with people, but how come she turned as dumb as a pig at crucial moments?
Lu Weixi stared at him for a while, failing to catch his hints, instead noticing the scratch marks on his face. She thought for a moment and advised, “Your face… shouldn’t you put on a Band-Aid? It looks a little…”
Only then did Qin Zhiyou’s expression softened a bit. He snorted, “You only care about these trivial matters.”
Unexpectedly reprimanded by him, Lu Weixi felt puzzled. She saw him let her out of the car, then quickly closed the car door and drove off. She thought to herself, ‘At last, this jerk is gone, it’d be best if he doesn’t show up at the company or come home for the next few days!’
Just as she turned around, someone sneakily tapped her on the shoulder from behind. Lu Weixi jumped in surprise, turning around to find it was Xiaochen.
Xiaochen was all smiles: “Lu, you’re heading to work?”
Lu Weixi nodded and uttered a faint “hmph”, not saying much before turning and heading inside.
Xiaochen watched the departing black Mercedes-Benz with great joy. She had urged Mr. Wang’s boss to speed things up, and here was Lu Weixi being driven by him first thing in the morning. Regardless of how rich and handsome Qin Zhiyou thought he was, seeing him flaunt around like a young master was enough to infuriate anyone named Qin!
The only surprise was that the never-late Qin Zhigu was late today. At 11 a.m., Lu Weixi was waiting for him outside his office door with the revised draft in hand, just as Qin Zhigu arrived belatedly.
Seeing Lu Weixi by his door, the corner of his lips momentarily curled up into a smile, but he quickly suppressed it and asked with indifference, “Lu, what can I do for you?”
“Mr. Qin, here’s the revised draft you asked for.” Lu Weixi allowed Xiaochen to pass the materials to him, Qin Zhigu let his assistant receive them, and the two didn’t make any contact.
“If there are any issues, feel free to call the office anytime.”
After stating this, Lu Weixi walked away. Qin Zhigu received the draft, flipped through a few pages, then turned to ask his assistant, “Has my brother come to the company today?”
The assistant shook his head, and only then did Qin Zhigu breathe a sigh of relief.
By the time she finished her work in the evening, the Mercedes-Benz was still parked downstairs, but Qin Zhiyou was not in it.
Lu Weixi was a bit surprised, and Mr. Wang quickly answered, “Mr Qin is very busy right now. I’m afraid he can’t go home in the next couple of days, so he asked me to pick you up.”
Lu Weixi shook her head, “No need, I’ve got my own car.” After a pause, she added: “Actually, it would be even more inconvenient for me if you came.”
Mr. Wang didn’t immediately agree, just saying, “Then I’ll mention it to Mr. Qin.”
Lu Weixi gave a nod of approval, and headed home. Upon arriving at the Qin family’s mansion, Yang Mogui also returned from outside, and promptly asked Mr. Wang about his son’s situation, to which Mr. Wang added, “Mr. Qin had a major news interview today; it will air on Yan City TV’s evening news at 730. It’s about the demonstration zone.”
Yang Mogui instantly beamed with joy, nodding swiftly, “Alright, I’ll remember to watch tonight.”
It was the perfect time slot, right after the Qin family’s dinner discussion, an absolute treat to tantalize the relatives in the second and third households!
Soon it was dinner time, and right after they finished eating, Lu Weixi’s phone rang. It was a courier delivery, cash on delivery.
Remembering Qin Zhiyou’s instructions, she let the housemaid let the delivery guy in. Qin Zhiyou rarely received parcels; Qin Zhimei who saw this was intrigued, “I’m curious to see what my elder brother bought..”
