TGLC Chapter 34.1

Her father told the truth after all.

Not long after, there was a knock at the door.

Zhuzhu peeked through the peephole and saw a young-looking man wearing glasses.

It was he who had brought Zhuzhu breakfast before.

After moving the stool aside, Little Zhuzhu immediately opened the door with great joy and exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle, you’ve brought us our food!”

Qin Yao is one of Duan Zihui’s most capable assistants.

He shook the bag containing the five-star hotel lunchbox in his hand and said, “Your father asked me to deliver this.”

Just looking at the bag he was carrying made Zhuzhu feel a little hungry.

It was getting late; it was almost 1 p.m.

The little girl patted her flat stomach and said, “I’ve been waiting for you for ages.”

“My daddy’s such a bad guy! He was in such a hurry to leave. He didn’t even remember to take us to eat!”

Qin Yao couldn’t help but chuckle at the little girl’s complaining expression.

Probably only this little cutie dared to complain about her father like that; even in front of him, she didn’t hold back.

“Alright, let’s go inside and see what good food we have.” Qin Yao led the child inside.

Inside, he saw Xie Qingyu in the living room.

Xie Qingyu smiled and nodded at him.

“Miss Xie.”

Xie Qingyu recognized Qin Yao; he used to be Duan Zihui’s assistant. He was always smiling and meticulous in his work, which earned him Duan Zihui’s deep trust. Several years had passed, and Xie Qingyu never expected to see him again.

Xie Qingyu hated him the most back then. After all, she often went to Duan Zihui for help, and Qin Yao would always reply with ‘Sir is busy’ or ‘Madam, please wait a moment’. Although she knew that everything was Duan Zihui’s idea, she still couldn’t help disliking him.

Xie Qingyu was quite immature at that time and often scolded him to vent her anger.

Looking back now, it must have been really tough for him back then.

Xie Qingyu couldn’t help but ask, “Assistant Qin, you’ve been following Duan Zihui for so many years, haven’t you?”

Qin Yao’s attitude toward Xie Qingyu remained as polite as ever: “President Duan has treated me well. Besides staying by his side, I have nowhere else to go.”

Xie Qingyu didn’t believe it.

“How could that be? With your abilities, you can go anywhere you want. Why should you suffer under him? He has a bad temper.”

But for Qin Yao, Duan Zihui’s temper wasn’t actually that bad.

He was a pampered young master since childhood, so it was normal for him to be a bit arrogant. Before joining Duan’s company, he’d worked elsewhere for a year or two.

Although those bosses seemed to pay high wages, they would deduct wages or verbally abuse you if you did not meet their expectations.

In comparison, Duan Zihui was actually quite well-mannered.

He never made excessive demands and always offered excellent compensation.

If working for Duan Zihui had its share of troubles, then the most troublesome thing was dealing with Xie Qingyu.

That year, as Mr. Duan’s wife, she often couldn’t reach her husband, so she called him to cause him trouble.

She inquired about Mr. Duan’s whereabouts.

Other times were fine, but that year when Mr. Duan was ill, Xie Qingyu couldn’t get through to him on the phone, so she bombarded him with questions.

Qin Yao was caught in a dilemma: arranging Mr. Duan’s hospitalization while also adhering to Mr. Duan’s instructions not to tell her anything.

He was torn between the two sides.

Qin Yao still felt a sense of unease when he thought back to those days.

That year, his boss had an irreconcilable conflict with his father. The young man in his early twenties had his own ambition and wanted to make a name for himself so that his father would acknowledge his excellence. Naturally, he was very busy.

On the other hand, there was a lack of understanding from his wife, who needed his company.
