Chapter 520: Waiting for Someone

The poseidon era docked at the pier in Yebai.

The shipyard staff were also kept behind by Zheng Qian, who arranged for people to host them. Not to mention Yao Qiuqiu and Xiao Nan; after over twenty days of arduous travel, they could finally rest and recover.

"So... at that time, Ran Xiang didn't know about the predicament Jin Lu was facing."

Wei Rusi and Zheng Qian sat in the back seat of the car, carefully observing his expression as she spoke.

Zheng Qian lit a cigarette and nodded silently.

It turned out that although there was a connection between Jin Lu and Ran Xiang, there was still a barrier between them. Even though they were sisters born of the same mother, due to human nature, neither wanted to expose their own misfortunes to the other.

Of course, this was also due to Jin Lu's pride.

Even if it meant doing things she didn't want to do, she wouldn't ask for help.

Fortunately, she met Zheng Qian.

The Ran Family knew about Jin Zhiyuan going to prison, but they didn't know that Jin Lu needed money so badly at the time.

Or rather, at that time, the Ran Family hadn't paid much attention to her.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Ran Xiang's time was running out that they started setting their sights on her.

If Ran Xiang had passed away from illness at that time, and Jin Lu had offered money or asked to get Jin Zhiyuan out, the Ran Family would surely have agreed without hesitation. To what Wei Rusi said, Zheng Qian only nodded faintly, without commenting further.

"Xixi, how is the company running lately?"

Zheng Qian suddenly changed the subject, talking about other matters.

Xia Xixi was driving personally to pick him up. Hearing Zheng Qian's question, she quickly said, "Recently, all work has been progressing steadily. Among them, the film premiere for the Grand Entertainment industry is about to be held in Shanghu, and the buzz is very high. President Jiang seems to have encountered some difficulties; she contacted me earlier to ask when you would return, perhaps wanting to discuss it in person. Also, real estate and Xunnidi..."

As expected of the "big honey"... no, the "big secretary" he had personally trained.

She was indeed very organized in handling matters.

Aside from Wei Rusi and Cui Ziqing, her work ability was the strongest. Now that The Group's business was thriving, Xia Xixi's position needed to be adjusted. Always being his follower was a bit of a waste of her talent.

When she could truly stand on her own two feet in the future, there would be places where she would be useful.

In fact, after this trip to Oman, he also felt bored with the current business model of the Qianhe Group. Buying a yacht resulted in a massive spend of nearly 200 billion USD, not to mention buying Moon God Architecture directly, and so on.

He earned money easily that he couldn't make after lingering in the country for so long. Spending money and earning money at the same time was simply too satisfying.

"Xixi, go back and hand over your current work arrangements, prepare for a change in position. Currently, you are just my secretary, which is a bit of a waste of your talent, and your actual workload is already beyond what a secretary can handle."

"Take on the role of Secretary-General of the General Manager's Office for now, and concurrently serve as Senior Vice President of The Group."

Zheng Qian took a puff of his cigarette and said calmly.

Xia Xixi: ???

If her mental state hadn't been so stable, she would have almost lost control of the accelerator and rushed out. She was all too aware of the weight of being the Secretary-General of the General Manager's Office, let alone concurrently serving as Senior Vice President of The Group!

This... this was simply a meteoric rise!

"President Zheng, I..."

Xia Xixi's heart was pounding; she didn't know whether to thank him or say something else.

If it were in the past, she would have certainly thought Zheng Qian was making up excuses to hit on her, but she didn't think so now!

Wei Rusi, sitting beside him, was simply a peerless beauty, not to mention having Cui Ziqing and others around.

Then there was only one reason!

President Zheng has affirmed my work ability!

"Next, you will be responsible for overall planning. Also belonging to the General Manager's Office will be Zhong Xiaoyao, Song Yaxian, and Qin Xueli. Let's stick with these three for now. You can choose one to focus on training as your successor; later on, I might need to transfer you to another place."

"Another place? You mean..."

"I am preparing to establish a brand new business division in Shanghu. You don't need to know too much for now, that's about it."

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Xixi glanced suspiciously at Zheng Qian in the rearview mirror.

She always felt... that this time Zheng Qian returned, something had changed.

But as for exactly what it was, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She drove as steadily as ever and soon arrived at their destination.

"How do you feel about Yebai? Is it very boring?"

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, Zheng Qian hugged Wei Rusi from behind.

"It's... it's okay... If you weren't pressing against me like that, my Favorability for this city might be higher."

Wei Rusi's pretty face flushed red, and she struggled slightly and unnaturally, but her perky bottom only created a rubbing effect against him.

Zheng Qian seemed to be very fired up right now.

Amidst Wei Rusi's exclamation, he lifted her onto the table.

He skillfully began to tear her stockings. He was exceptionally rough today, leaving Wei Rusi unable to handle it.

After all, they had just experienced an evening like a dream-like bubble last night, and her muscles were still savoring the aftertaste.

But perhaps after so many days of being "trained" by Zheng Qian, she had already naturally developed a response to him.

A moment later, the sound of a fairy emanated from the room.

...

"Qian... when are you planning to go to Shanghu?"

Wei Rusi snuggled against Zheng Qian, her fair and delicate body covered in a flush.

Her delicate body trembled slightly; she seemed not to have recovered from the continuous peaks just now, her eyes still somewhat dazed.

Zheng Qian held her with one arm, feeling her trembling, and looked toward the bedside.

Wei Rusi very obediently fetched a cigarette and lit it for Zheng Qian.

Just from this simple action, she became breathless again and collapsed in the crook of Zheng Qian's arm.

"When do you want to go back?"

Zheng Qian patted her bottom in satisfaction and asked in return.

"I... I want to stay in Yebai for a few days. And it's all your fault, I've been a bit tired lately, I want to rest for a while."

Wei Rusi's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking of something, and there was a hint of dimness in her eyes.

"Then you should get some good rest. If you feel too bored, you can also have Qiuqiu accompany you shopping."

"Qiuqiu and Xiao Nan have already left."

Wei Rusi's gaze was somewhat complicated, "She sent me a WeChat message just after getting off the car, saying she was going to the jiuzhou dream with Xiao Nan to handle some matters. She... she is really quite good. Qian, I don't have the right to ask you to give her a title; after all, my current status is also... in short, don't let her down too much."

"I know, after all, didn't she use my [weapon] to teach you oral..."

"Stop! Don't say it!"

Seeing that Zheng Qian was about to spout nonsense again, Wei Rusi hurriedly covered his mouth in shame and anger.

It's so embarrassing! How could this scumbag say such things so brazenly!

...

8 hours later.

Zheng Qian appeared in the living room of a townhouse in Shanghu.

He lit a cigarette and waited for someone.
