Dongfang Liuyun glanced at her and also took in the curiosity in Secretary Ding’s eyes.
“So what if he’s back?”
She asked indifferently, but Secretary Ding carefully observed her expression and then smiled, “I’m quite looking forward to it. Miss, when will you let us get to know your husband? Actually, in the past two years, the evaluation of your husband in the industry has been pretty good, especially now that Tai Yu Corporation is soaring. Our Master’s network has been doing well in the past, and the viewership ratings for a few of the newly released dramas have been very high recently...”
Secretary Ding subconsciously began to speak up for Qi Lei. For some reason, before they even met, she already had an inexplicable good impression of Qi Lei. Perhaps it was because she trusted Dongfang Liuyun’s judgment.
Someone who could catch the eye of someone like Dongfang Liuyun must be great, right?
That was what Secretary Ding thought in her heart.
Qi Lei was a person that many magazine covers competed to report on. Previously, he often appeared on the cover, but after two years of increasing precipitation, he rarely appeared in front of the news media. Their understanding of Qi Lei was only from the media reports.
“Whether you see him or not, he’s just that kind of person. When he comes back, perhaps you’ll be able to meet him.” Dongfang Liuyun simply swallowed the food in his mouth as she replied.
“Miss, do you want your husband to treat you?”
Secretary Ding smiled.
“Why not?”
...
Dongfang Liuyun was quite straightforward. After finishing her supper, she felt much more comfortable. Otherwise, she would have been so hungry that her stomach would have hurt.
“You should go back first. I have finished cleaning up. We been quite worn out recently, pay attention to your rest. Next week’s tasks will be more important.”
Dongfang Liuyun finished the water in her glass and stood up.
“Okay. Manager Yun, you should also clean up early and go home to rest. You are the one who has been tired the most these days.”
Secretary Ding said as she cleaned up the table.
“It’ll be fine after a while.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything more. She sat back down and continued to work.
Secretary Ding watched and could only sigh. Then, she carefully left the office.
After Secretary Ding left the office, it was already past nine o’clock at night. Dongfang Liuyun went through the data again. When she packed up and was about to go back, she took her phone and realized that her phone had been set to silent mode. There were more than a dozen missed calls.
Some were from Lan Xiu, and of course, there were also Qi Lei’s...
And Dongfang Gan’s.
Dongfang Liuyun quickly returned Dongfang Gan’s call. He was talking about Wang Chun’s recent inspection of Dongfang Group. He had already started thinking of the partnership.
“Alright, let’s not talk about work for now. Come home tomorrow. Your mother is home too. Let’s have a meal together. Lan Xiu will come over as well. When Qi Lei gets back, let him come back often. Especially with Lan Xiu, you have to deal with these relationships well. I can’t and don’t want to interfere with the affairs of your young people.”
Dongfang Gan reminded her as he spoke.
“I understand, father. I’ll go back with Qi Lei when he gets back. I’ve been a little tired these past few days. I want to rest well for a few days. I haven’t been to De Bao House for quite a while. Uncle Ming wants me to go over and take a look.”
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment before replying. She had arranged the time well.
On the other end, Dongfang Gan was silent for a moment before saying, “Up to you then.”
...
When Qi Lei’s call came again, Dongfang Liuyun was driving home.
The streets at night were still quite quiet. Dongfang Liuyun’s speed was neither fast nor slow. When she slid down the answer button, Qi Lei’s voice came through—
“Are you driving? I made a lot of calls.”
Qi Lei, who was at the end of City B, was walking on the quiet sidewalk. His tall and upright figure passed through the dim street lights. He pulled his suit jacket over his shoulder and was on the phone with Dongfang Liuyun.
“Congratulations, you guessed right. I just came back from working overtime at the company. Wang Chun sent the midnight snack to the company just like yesterday. He’s very dedicated. Come back and treat him to a meal or give him a raise. It’s rare to have such a loyal and capable subordinate.”
Dongfang Liuyun turned off the music in the car and turned on the speakerphone.
“The person he serves is you. You’re the one who should treat or reward him. Why should I give him a raise?”
Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows, and a rare satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face.
“I couldn’t bear to reject your kindness. I naturally accepted your arrangement. Don’t forget what you said to me when you signed the Marriage Agreement,” Dongfang Liuyun replied calmly.
“What did I say?”
“You said that I’m the Queen and you’re a Knight.”
“Don’t fool me. I would never say something like that.”
Qi Lei’s voice of protest sounded, but the smile on his face widened slightly. “However, I admit that I was indeed trying to curry favor with you.”
“Thank you for your consideration. When will you be back?” Dongfang Liuyun replied unhappily.
“It’ll be a few more days. I have to rush back too. It’s going to be the Mid-autumn Festival soon.”
As Qi Lei spoke, he handed his coat to Yang Sheng, who was carrying a briefcase behind him. Yang Sheng took it swiftly.
“I was thinking about you tonight. I was wondering when you would be back. Come home for dinner on the night of the Mid-autumn Festival.”
Dongfang Liuyun quickly recalled the conversation she had with her father, Dongfang Gan.
“I’ll be back in a few days. Are you still not done with your Mid-autumn Festival activities?”
“I’m almost done. I’ll make a report at the meeting tomorrow and hand in the documents.”
“Isn’t tomorrow the weekend? Do you have to work overtime?” Qi Lei frowned.
“The meeting with the higher-ups is too tight, so I can only squeeze in time for a meeting. Wish me luck tomorrow. I’ve been busy for so long. After tomorrow, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Next, it’s just a matter of execution.” Dongfang Liuyun said with a hint of exhaustion in her voice.
“I’ve finished the data sets for you. I’ve sent them to your email. You can check it yourself.”
“Yes, I saw it. I’ve completed the execution image. If the event can be completed successfully this time, you’ll also be a great contributor. I have to thank you properly.”
“How do you plan to thank me then?” Qi Lei asked expectantly.
“Name the conditions, but I’ll state in advance that I won’t serve you.”
“Serve what?”
Qi Lei touched his nose wickedly as he asked, “Why don’t I serve you?”
“I’m trying to be serious here.”
Miss Dongfang’s brows furrowed.
