Cheng Ling clenched her hands that were hanging at the edge of her skirt, her nails digging into her flesh.
She was unwilling to give in!
“Lin Qiao, if I’m not doing well, you won’t be doing well either!”
By the time Cheng Ling left the sink and headed out, Lin Qiao had already left. As she was about to return to the meeting room in the hallway, she saw Wen Dai passing by, her skirt lifted.
Cheng Ling didn’t know Wen Dai, but she heard her seniors mention it during a chat at the table.
Nowadays, large groups would mostly choose marriage to consolidate their power. The Qin and Wen families are old friends. The Wen family has no eldest grandson, and Wen Dai is the only girl of marriageable age. If a marriage is to take place, either Mr. Qin or Mr. Su will marry her.
Chairman Qin is a shrewd and calculating person, and he values Young Chairman Qin so much. The granddaughter of the Wen family, who cannot inherit power, is definitely not to his liking.
On the other hand, the adopted son, Su Zhengxing, is just the right choice. He is both a good match and can consolidate the relationship with the Wen family. What’s more, Miss Wen has always had her eyes on Su Zhengxing, so he has the best of both worlds.
The seniors speculated that the reason why Wen Dai appeared openly at Baitian’s annual meeting today, in addition to being the hotel’s representative, was probably a signal of a future marriage.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ling came up with a plan.
She turned and headed back toward the bathroom. Seeing Wen Dai enter the cubicle, she pretended to be on the phone by the sink and said in a neither too high nor too low voice.
“See? Lin Qiao stole the show on stage today. For an intern like her to dance solo at such a grand event like Baitian, I guess someone must have arranged it specially!”
“Let me tell you, one day, I went out to eat after getting off work at noon, and I actually saw our CEO Su and her eating mutton soup in a small restaurant! No wonder everyone in the company said that they were a couple. It seems that the rumors may not be false. Otherwise, with so many people in the CEO’s office, why did CEO Su appoint her, an intern, to be his personal assistant? CEO Su also took her on business trips and brought her to various meetings. Maybe they have been together for a long time!”
“We, her classmates, might all be relying on Lin Qiao in the future. Given her relationship with CEO Su, who knows, she might even become the CEO’s wife one day!”
Before Cheng Ling finished her line, Wen Dai had already pushed open the door and emerged from the cubicle. Under the force of the door panel hitting the other door panel, a loud ‘bang’ sound was heard, which was very unpleasant.
Cheng Ling glanced at Wen Dai, feigning a look of panic as if she’d been caught gossiping. She put away her phone and quickly left the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Wen Dai looked at herself in the mirror, with a hint of anger on her face.
Having failed to return the ring, Lin Qiao felt embarrassed to wait for Qin Shen outside the men’s restroom, so she returned to her seat.
“Wait a minute! I’ll eat a few bites before I go find him.” Lin Qiao reported to Su Zhengxing in her consciousness.
“No problem.”
Su Zhengxing didn’t want to ask Qin Shen for anything; he just wanted to see the other party’s former self after such a long time. Knowing he was doing well, he felt relieved.
Lin Qiao had barely taken a few bites when a pale blue figure stopped beside her. The other women at the table put down their chopsticks one after another. She turned her head blankly and saw Wen Dai looking down at her with her arms folded.
“Let’s talk.” She said.
