Chapter 582: New Knowledge Brought by Wei Rusi

"Zheng Qian has some arrangements for the near future, so it would be better for everyone to stay close by to look out for one another. Since the golden hours for livestreaming are usually at night, it would be too much of a hassle to keep communicating through WeChat groups. Don't you agree?"

No sooner had they stepped out of the conference room than Jin Lu pulled Cui Ziqing and Su Yuanshuang aside.

She gently took their hands and spoke.

Cui Ziqing and Su Yuanshuang exchanged a glance, both seeing the fluster in the other's eyes. Previously, whenever Cui Ziqing came to Shanghu, she would always stay with Su Yuanshuang. By saying this, did Jin Lu mean for them to move in here as well?

It was doable, of course… but they hadn't truly prepared themselves mentally for it yet.

"Hmm… I know you are both usually very busy, but this is only for a few days. You don't need to bring anything; we have everything at the house." Jin Lu seemed to see right through their thoughts and said with a smile.

"Okay." After all, Cui Ziqing had been with Zheng Qian for quite some time. Plus, since she and Jin Lu were both born in Yebai, there was a certain sense of closeness between them. Having lived with Zheng Qian, Jin Lu, and Wei Rusi for a few days previously, they already had a certain emotional foundation, which made it easier to accept.

"Okay, Sister Jin Lu."

Su Yuanshuang nodded, acting extremely obedient in front of Jin Lu.

In fact, it wasn't just Su Yuanshuang; aside from Wei Rusi, they all appeared extremely obedient in front of Jin Lu. During those few days, Cui Ziqing had even prepared breakfast several times—it was hard to tell if she was trying to please Jin Lu or Zheng Qian.

Jin Lu had originally wanted to help out, but Zheng Qian had insisted on his morning exercise.

"Xixi, has your accommodation been arranged?" Wei Rusi, whose ears were quite sharp, quickly pulled Xia Xixi over as well.

"Ah… I… well, President Zheng has already bought me a place, so I… I'm fine at home." Xia Xixi blushed slightly.

Although she had been with Zheng Qian for quite some time, it was strictly limited to work.

Hmm… she had indeed admitted before that she was a bit arrogant, initially thinking that Zheng Qian had designs on her. However, as various outstanding women began appearing by his side, she gradually abandoned that notion.

Jin Lu was someone she deeply respected; she possessed a unique personal charm.

As the current president of the Chunshen Club, being so young and never showing signs of intimidation was no small feat in itself. It had nothing to do with whether Zheng Qian provided assistance; even before he poured in a large investment, Jin Lu had already stabilized the situation.

Being able to remain firmly in control within such a massive club without any confidants was proof enough of her capability.

Wei Rusi was even more of an idol to her—the very image of the professional manager she dreamed of becoming. She was the top-level mastermind within Zheng Qian's entire interest group, helping to make many of the decisions, not to mention her past record of bloody battles on Wall Street.

Despite being quite the goofball in private, she was like a completely different person once professional matters were involved.

"Alright, Sisi, stop interrupting."

Hearing this, Jin Lu quickly walked over and gave her a reproachful glare. Wei Rusi wasn't offended; she simply stuck out her tongue.

"Song Yaxian is currently dealing with those WIPO officials, it's just a pity we can't all play together at night. Sigh, with just us four women, I wonder if we'll be able to manage. I really wanted to see Zheng Qian get so tired he couldn't even get up—what a shame."

Seeing that Wei Rusi was becoming increasingly outrageous, Zheng Qian quickly covered her mouth and led her away from the scene.

Xia Xixi was thin-skinned and already blushing furiously after just a few words; she was a proper, innocent young woman, and what if she got scared off? They were currently in need of staff, and he was genuinely worried that Xia Xixi might just hand in her resignation.

"Stop doing whatever else you're doing and come with me. Move." Zheng Qian released Wei Rusi and said coldly.

"Got it…" Wei Rusi pouted aggrievedly and followed behind him, looking dejected. Her mind immediately began to race. What did Zheng Qian want to play today? Judging by this attitude, was she going to play the role of an investigator? Was he going to arrest and interrogate her? Should she resist a little? Oh my, how shameful, but she loved it!

Zheng Qian closed the office door behind him and sat straight down on the sofa.

His expression was exceptionally stern as he loosened his collar. "Stand straight."

"Ying ying ying." Wei Rusi stood obediently in front of Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian extended two fingers, slightly bent at the knuckles, and tapped gently on his own knee.

Wei Rusi was stunned for a moment, but then she immediately realized what he meant. She knelt on the carpet in front of the sofa, raised both hands to her cheeks in a cat-paw pose, and stuck out her pink tongue slightly. She looked absolutely adorable.

Come to think of it, she was the one who had taught Zheng Qian this gesture—though, of course, she had used it herself when playing with other girls in the past.

She looked up at Zheng Qian with eyes full of allure, thinking to herself that it seemed he didn't want an investigator after all.

Zheng Qian patted her head in great satisfaction, then crossed his fingers and rested them on his knees.

Wei Rusi's pretty face flushed a deep crimson—not, of course, out of shyness, but rather out of anticipation. She bowed her head slightly and was just about to make her next move according to Zheng Qian's instructions when a hurried knock sounded at the door.

She scrambled to her feet, awkwardly grabbing some documents from his desk and pretending to be reporting on work.

Zheng Qian cursed silently in his heart—who was so oblivious as to interrupt their good time? Before he could even speak, the door was pushed right open!

"President Wei! I'm sorry to disturb you, President Zheng… I have something I need to report to President Wei, but I couldn't find her anywhere… so I thought President Wei might be here. Um… my apologies, President Wei, this really is quite urgent…"

Zheng Qian had originally been quite annoyed. To barge into the big boss's office without knocking?

It wasn't that he was intentionally trying to put on airs; he was just genuinely annoyed because he had been about to practice the various instructions he'd learned with Wei Rusi again. Being interrupted was naturally unpleasant. However… when he saw the girl, his irritation instantly subsided by seventy percent. Because, the view was truly magnificent.

The girl was wearing a very tight-fitting black skirt that hugged her hips, and due to her running, the hem had ridden up slightly. The top three buttons of her white shirt were undone, leaving her deep cleavage fully exposed, and the way it trembled made it impossible to look away.

"Hmm?" Wei Rusi, however, suddenly furrowed her brows.

Gone was the demeanor she had while playing with Zheng Qian just moments ago; her expression was now as cold as ice.

"Is there something you couldn't have just called about? Are you just here for decoration? Furthermore, this is President Zheng's office—don't you know to knock before entering? Lu Lingwei, if you make a low-level mistake like this again, you're out!"

"Do you understand?"

At those final four words, Lu Lingwei couldn't help but tremble. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Wei Rusi, and bit her lip tightly, seemingly struggling to hold back tears.

"U-understood… President… President Wei…"
