Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The big boss mentioned he’s heading back to the Province today. I’m sure he’s here for dinner,” Ji Fang exclaimed, more excited than Zhou Hengyang.
“Let’s go check it out.”
“Agreed!”
As Ji Fang left, Zhou Hengguang recalled that his eldest brother had relocated here, implying that his sisters-in-law must be in town too.
Oh no!
Zhou Hengguang promptly stood up and tossed the incomplete proposal to Pan
Yi. “You guys can have dinner with him! I still have something to attend to, so
I’ll leave first.”
“Aren’t you going to eat before leaving?
“No, I’m in a hurry.”
Given the second boss’s urgency, Pan Yi didn’t dare to question further.
Everyone in Changhe knew about the Second Boss’s unpredictable temper. Offending him could lead to trouble. Last time, when the Second Boss was in a bad mood, everyone in Changhe had a tough time.
Everyone suffered, but they didn’t know what was wrong with the boss.
Then, only Pan Yi knew that the issue was with the canteen chef, who had used up all of the Second Boss’s preserved vegetables, infuriating him.
From then on, Pan Yi became more mindful.
Zhou Hengguang buttoned up his suit, holding the beloved bag Su Qing had given him. He hurried downstairs, and before reaching the stairs, he spotted his Big brother coming his way with his men. Fortunately, Big Brother was engaged in conversation with Ji Fang, so he went unnoticed.
Zhou Hengguang quickly headed to the restroom.
Ji Fang had spoken with Zhou Hengyang earlier, and after escorting him to the small banquet hall, he returned to look for Zhou Hengguang. The table was set, but Zhou Hengguang’s seat was empty. “Factory manager, where’s my director?”
“He left, mentioning some last-minute urgent matter.”
“That’s strange. I didn’t hear anything about the director having urgent business!”
“Maybe it’s personal.”
Ji Fang twitched his mouth. “I handle a lot of the director’s matters. Unless he’s got a girlfriend, it’s hard to imagine what urgent matter he had.”
Pan Yi was speechless.
Should he admire Ji Fang for being valued by the leader or be curious about how selective the second boss was? What was it like for a perfectionist to have a girlfriend?
“Forget it. I’ll inform the big boss that the director has left. I won’t be having dinner with them today. You go ahead and eat; I’ll be right back.” Saying so, he hastily departed.
In the bathroom, Zhou Hengguang stood in front of the mirror, waiting for an opportunity to go out. As he exited the bathroom, he ran into Su Qing in the corridor.
“And who might you be?” Su Qing thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
She scrutinized him for almost a minute, still unsure. “Lin Weiguo?”
The man before her looked entirely different from the one who had visited her in the village. The clothing, glasses, demeanor, and hairstyle were all changed. Even the gaze in his eyes was different. Although the face was the same, it felt unfamiliar and entirely distinct.
But Su Qing knew it was Lin Weiguo.
His demeanor might change, and his attire might change, but the feeling he gave her would remain constant.
Internally, Zhou Hengguang lamented his miscalculation. Quickly shifting his face, he assumed the role with lightning speed. The way he regarded Su Qing instantly transformed. The previous sharpness, depth, and elegance morphed into simplicity, honesty, and openness.
Yet, the expensive suit and exquisite glasses affected his acting skills.
Last time, he could have won an Oscar for Best Actor, but this time, he might barely secure a nomination for Best Actor. “Su Qing, why are you here? When did you come to the Province? Why didn’t you tell me? If I had known earlier, I would have gone to welcome you,” he said..
