Chapter 22: The Female Secretary

After Zheng Qian left, Boss Han flipped over his hole cards to take a look. A pair of Aces.

"This man has integrity in gambling and the spirit of a gambler. He is steady yet ruthless, ruthless but not greedy. He will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Chen Weiqiang, how did you come to know him?"

After revealing the hole cards, Boss Han couldn't help but praise Zheng Qian's character.

Earlier, while they were in the shower, he had asked about Zheng Qian's age. He had graduated from university three years ago and was not yet twenty-six this year.

Twenty-six...

If he had had this kind of capital when he was twenty-six, he would have bought a sports car immediately. Apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, he would have been indulging in debauchery. How could he have had the patience to settle down, invest, and enter the business world?

If it weren't for experiencing so many things, watching the people around him go to prison one by one, and weathering the great storms, Boss Han wouldn't be able to guard the assets of Wangyue Island at his age of over forty—a vigorous age—and live a life that was almost like retirement.

"We were introduced by a friend," Chen Weiqiang replied truthfully.

He also felt that Zheng Qian had a very good temperament and didn't look like a man who would live off a woman at all.

Zheng Qian's suit was very well-coordinated. Either he had good taste, or the woman behind him did. But would someone with that kind of taste really fall for a man living off a woman?

Zheng Qian told him that the thirty million was given to him by his girlfriend, but Chen Weiqiang absolutely did not believe it.

In the KTV private room, everyone initially thought Zheng Qian was an honest man and treated him as such. However, Zheng Qian was very vigilant and sensed this, immediately demanding a change of person. The implication was: "I am not an honest man, don't try to mess with me."

With such a personality, how could he be willing to be a man living off a woman?

Zheng Qian's final hole cards were a pair of Aces. Just as Boss Han said, he was steady yet ruthless, with a certain ability to control the situation.

This man is an excellent business partner.

At the moment, he hasn't made a name for himself yet because Zheng Qian knows few people and lacks connections. If he were willing to share his resources with him, Zheng Qian would certainly be grateful and repay the favor. In the future, if he were to soar ninety thousand miles like a giant roc and leap into the high heavens, he would also benefit from it.

Only Liu Shiqi did not take Zheng Qian seriously; the last hand gave her blind confidence.

She believed that Zheng Qian's ruthlessness was merely that of a reckless brute, charging forward without using his brain. She had matched his bets until the end in the last hand, and Zheng Qian still refused to stop, which clearly showed he had no brain.

It's just like entering the business world; relying solely on the ruthlessness Chen Weiqiang told him about wouldn't work. If Chen Weiqiang were merely ruthless and decisive, he wouldn't even know how he died. To get to where he is today, there is a lot more involved than just ruthlessness.

Chen Weiqiang was smart; he didn't just have that ruthless streak. When his cards were bad, he simply didn't play. He didn't get deeply involved in that hand, avoiding any risk of further chip loss.

Boss Han was even more so. A man in his forties, whether playing cards or doing business, was as steady as an old dog. In Liu Shiqi's view, Boss Han was a bit too steady, not at all like his former self.

Being too steady is called cowardice; there was no trace of his former ruthlessness.

However, given Boss Han's special background, if he weren't this cowardly, he wouldn't be able to hold onto the assets of Wangyue Island. The business would have been investigated long ago, and he would have gone to prison with his brothers.

At the age of over forty, he was already living a retired life, guarding these assets to support his old age.

In Liu Shiqi's view, a wolf that has lost its wolf nature is nothing more than a sharp-mouthed dog.

She only had one doubt.

Is Zheng Qian really a man living off a woman? Was the thirty million really given to him by his girlfriend?

"Boss Han, can you help me investigate this person?" Liu Shiqi proposed.

"Sure. Since President Liu has asked, how could I refuse?" Boss Han replied with a smile. He himself was also quite interested in Zheng Qian.

Liu Shiqi worked in funds and naturally had her own ways of gathering intelligence on Zheng Qian, but Boss Han might be able to collect some different information.

Only by gathering information through multiple channels could she truly know what kind of person Zheng Qian was.

...

Zheng Qian had Xia Xixi drop Manager Li Tao home first, and then take him back to Jiangshan International.

"President Zheng, I will prepare the documents tomorrow morning and tidy up an office for you. You can come to the company in the afternoon."

"Starting tomorrow, I will be your secretary."

On the way, Xia Xixi told Zheng Qian this news.

"Aren't you Chen Weiqiang's secretary? How did you become my secretary tomorrow?" Zheng Qian was curious.

"I don't know. This is what Chen Weiqiang instructed me to do. I guess it's because you were looking at me with improper intentions." Xia Xixi was not at all tactful when speaking to her future boss, President Zheng.

Zheng Qian was a bit surprised. Damn it, how did he look at her with improper intentions? Although he did look at Xia Xixi a few more times at the dinner table and the KTV, his intentions weren't improper!

"Improper intentions? What do you think? Are my intentions proper?"

"I also think they are a bit improper," Xia Xixi replied to Zheng Qian while driving.

"When you changed your mind and asked for a mature woman, I knew you often hang out in these kinds of romantic places and probably aren't a gentleman."

Zheng Qian: ?

This was very awkward. Xia Xixi had clearly misunderstood him.

However, Zheng Qian didn't explain: "I will be your boss tomorrow. Aren't you afraid of offending me by talking like this? Aren't you afraid that I will make things difficult for you?"

"This is just my personality, and I'm not afraid of you making things difficult for me. I do every job perfectly, leaving no room for error. Even if you wanted to make things difficult for me, you wouldn't find a way."

"I am not that kind of materialistic woman. If you want to have anything happen with me, get rid of that idea early. I didn't have any ambiguous relationship with Chen Weiqiang when I was by his side, let alone with you."

"If you think I'm not a good fit for you, you can tell Chen Weiqiang tomorrow and have him replace me."

Zheng Qian's Favorability toward her suddenly increased greatly.

He glanced at her Favorability toward him; it was only 30 points.

If she wasn't a materialistic woman, didn't that mean he could spend money on her without limit and let the system provide cash back?

"No need to replace you. You'll do," Zheng Qian replied firmly.

"Ah? Why?" Xia Xixi had actually prepared herself to be replaced by Zheng Qian. The words she just said were actually partly intended to make Zheng Qian kick her away.

Although Chen Weiqiang indulged in debauchery, he was very capable. Following such a boss, she could still learn some things.

As for Zheng Qian, she couldn't see anything extraordinary about him. It would be better to continue following Chen Weiqiang.

"I think you are capable, shrewd, smart, and eager to learn. You should be a good assistant by my side."

"I am not the person you imagine me to be. You will know in the future."

The car just arrived at Jiangshan International. After Zheng Qian got out, he let Xia Xixi go back.

Besides being able to spend money on her, Zheng Qian felt that Xia Xixi was actually quite good. It was precisely because of her personality and work style, plus the fact that she wanted to change to another secretary, that Chen Weiqiang threw Xia Xixi to him, right?

As long as Xia Xixi was not a mole or an informant planted by Chen Weiqiang, Zheng Qian felt that she would be very easy to work with in the future.
