Feng Qing was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, she seemed to figure something out and then burst into laughter.
"So, will others know what I'm up to?" she said deliberately, even a bit ambiguously. "Mr. Sheng is so concerned about me. It can't just be for a job, right?"
She swiveled her chair to face Sheng Yan directly. Her voice was soft and gentle, like a feather landing on Sheng Yan's heart.
It was really crazy.
Sheng Yan dodged her deliberate gaze. Suddenly, a woman giggled and pounced on Feng Qing. She also reeked of alcohol, but the perfume on her was familiar to Feng Qing.
Feng Qing didn't resist. She reached out to hold the woman and pulled her off. The woman let out a "heh heh" laugh. After standing up straight, she looked at Sheng Yan.
"Hey, you look so familiar, handsome guy."
Feng Qing tugged at her from behind, afraid that she might say something inappropriate. After all, Jian Jiaojiao was well - known for her loose tongue.
"Jiaojiao, calm down." Jian Jiaojiao's body was already moving towards Sheng Yan. Feng Qing couldn't even pull her back.
Sheng Yan didn't react much to Jian Jiaojiao's "flirting". Instead, he looked at her coldly and said helplessly, "Take a good look at who I am?"
Jian Jiaojiao laughed even more cheerfully. She pointed at him and looked back at Feng Qing. "Is he an acquaintance?"
"Jiaojiao, you've had too much to drink." Feng Qing pulled Jian Jiaojiao back. Jian Jiaojiao turned around and hugged Feng Qing again. She didn't forget to point at Sheng Yan. She leaned over and whispered in Feng Qing's ear, "Is he the one you dumped back then?"
Feng Qing pushed her away and made her sit on a chair. She pressed on her shoulders and told her, "I dumped a lot of people back then. I don't know which one you're talking about."
Feng Qing originally thought that Jian Jiaojiao would calm down. However, she suddenly moved again. She stood up and pointed at Sheng Yan. "I remember! You're the junior who chased Feng Qing to the airport when she went abroad back then! I was the one who gave you her flight information. Do you still remember?"
Sheng Yan: "..." Can you just shut up?
Feng Qing: "..." So it was you!
Seeing Jian Jiaojiao like this, Feng Qing knew that it was probably impossible to talk to her about anything tonight. But to prevent things from getting out of control, she had to cover Jian Jiaojiao's mouth. She quickly took out a business card from her bag and threw it at Sheng Yan.
"Contact me later."
Feng Qing left with Jian Jiaojiao. Sheng Yan picked up Feng Qing's business card. Looking at the gilded name and phone number of Feng Qing on it, he slowly smiled.
She was still the same as before, always liking to take the initiative.
But so what? Feng Qing, there are still times when you need me.
Feng Qing took Jian Jiaojiao back to her home. She waited until Jian Jiaojiao fell asleep before going to bed herself. She shouldn't have believed Jian Jiaojiao's words. Now, nothing had been said, and time had been wasted.
Especially bringing up that old story in front of Sheng Yan.
In the few meetings after their reunion, both she and Sheng Yan had tacitly avoided talking about the past. Although Sheng Yan was a bit awkward, she didn't really care. But Jiaojiao brought it up today. What was even more annoying was that she only found out today that it was Jiaojiao who had told Sheng Yan her flight information back then.
After she went abroad back then, she had specifically asked her friends. Everyone said they hadn't, including Jiaojiao. She never expected that Jiaojiao had lied to her for so long.
She must find a chance to teach Jiaojiao a lesson.
The next day, when Jian Jiaojiao got up, Feng Qing was already gone. There was breakfast prepared by Feng Qing on the dining table, as well as a stack of documents.
She opened them and found that they were the profiles of some people at the director - level or above in the company. There was also a sticky note attached beside them.
It said, "I need to find someone to help me. Please help me investigate the backgrounds of these people. Pass on those who are not suitable for me first."
Jian Jiaojiao took a sip of coffee and put the sticky note back in place. "She really knows how to use resources. Last time it was Sheng Yan, and this time it's the candidates. So my job is..."
Sheng Yan?
Suddenly, some fragments flashed through Jian Jiaojiao's mind. She clearly saw Sheng Yan sitting not far from her. She had also said some...
"Oh my god! I'm just asking for death!" Jian Jiaojiao held her forehead. For a moment, she didn't know what to think. Yesterday, she had been like a lamb trying to pull out teeth from the mouths of two tigers!
She was doomed. Feng Qing would surely get even with her. As for Sheng Yan... She hoped he could retain a bit of gentlemanly grace.
Jian Jiaojiao got up and wanted to run. Her hand accidentally knocked over the sticky note. She saw the words Feng Qing had left on the other side of the sticky note: Even if you want to run away, you must find out the information of these people for me first! Although it was just words, Jian Jiaojiao just felt that she could see Feng Qing's anger.
She shivered involuntarily and felt scared. "I really don't know how Feng Qing can write such cold words with a 36 - degree body temperature."
Forget it. Her ability was probably only suitable for being arranged by Feng Qing to do such things.
Feng Qing was still dealing with those troublesome matters seriously. Since she had stated last time that she needed to hire a professional to handle her work, Assistant Qi had not been smiling much.
The things that used to be a piece of cake for him now seemed very difficult. He looked very tired. Feng Qing thought it was strange. Assistant Qi wasn't like this when she first came.
"Assistant Qi." Before Assistant Qi left the office, Feng Qing called him. "Are you in a bad mood these days?"
Assistant Qi was slightly surprised. "What?"
"I just feel that you seem to be in a bad mood. If you encounter any thorny problems, you might as well tell me. If I can help, I will do my best." Feng Qing spread her hands. Seeing Assistant Qi's expression, she seemed to have misunderstood something. She explained, "You don't have to think of me as someone who cares about her subordinates. I'm asking this just because I don't want you to be in a bad mood and slow down your work progress."
"I'm still in the exploratory stage. Your work efficiency can't be as low as mine."
In the end, she was still just thinking about herself.
Feng Qing was straightforward. Although her thought was a bit selfish, as long as she was in this position, she had no choice but to be like this. So, of course, she didn't want Assistant Qi to slack off in his work because of his depression.
Assistant Qi understood and shook his head, saying that he was okay. "Sorry, I will adjust myself as soon as possible."
Feng Qing nodded. "You can go."
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Feng Qing waited until Assistant Qi closed the door before picking up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Long time no see."
Feng Qing instantly felt speechless. She slumped her face and couldn't make a nice expression. It had been less than ten hours since their last meeting. Sure enough, it was "long time no see".
"So? Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes." Sheng Yan agreed readily. Just when Feng Qing was about to relax, Sheng Yan put forward his own condition again. "Although I was a professional manager before, if I go to help you, I also have my own conditions."
"What conditions?" She knew it would be like this. But it wasn't too late to see his conditions first and then make a decision.
"I want to be your assistant."
"Assistant?" Feng Qing suspected her ears.
"Yes, assistant. Your assistant."
