novelThe cold and aloof ceo
| ← Ch.0005 | Ch.0007 → |
People's words were fearsome. Jian Ran had experienced it firsthand.
If her colleagues in the company saw her sitting in the new CEO's car to work, they would probably smash her to death with all kinds of rumors and rumors.
So when Qin Yue asked her to sit in his car to work, she shook her head without thinking.
Although they didn't ride in Qin Yue's car, they arrived at the company about the same time.
While Jian Ran and a group of people were waiting for the elevator, Qin Yue also arrived at CEO's exclusive elevator under the escort of two special assistance.
She wanted to pretend that she didn't see him, but she felt that it wasn't appropriate, so she greeted them politely: "Boss Qin, good morning!"
"En!" Qin Yue responded indifferently. He swept a glance around and then walked into the elevator, leaving everyone with a cold view of his back.
Qin Yue's indifference did not extinguish everyone's enthusiasm, and they started to discuss about the new CEO again.
Jian Ran didn't participate in the discussion, but she found it fu y.
Qin Yue's public and private attitude was quite obvious.
At this moment, she thought of a web word to describe Qin Yue — abstinence male god.
As soon as she entered the company, Jian Ran completely forgot about Qin Yue and threw herself into her work.
Recently, Jian Ran and a few colleagues from the same department were busy preparing a tender project for Starlight Corporation.
Seeing that the bidding was about to start, Jian Ran's work had entered a state of tension. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat lunch.
Jian Ran was a well-known workaholic at the company. It was common for people to work and not eat. No one really cared about her.
Today, when Jian Ran was so busy that she forgot herself, she received a call from Qin Yue.
Jian Ran looked around to make sure that there was no one around before picking up the phone carefully."Is there something you need?"
The implication was that he should not randomly call her when there was nothing to do in the company, and should not let others know of their relationship.
Qin Yue didn't expect Jian Ran to say that. He paused for a moment and then said, "The job is important, but you can't go hungry."
His voice was still light, but it wasn't hard to hear a hint of concern in it.
Jian Ran blushed."Alright, I understand."
Qin Yue did not say anything else on the other end of the phone. Jian Ran did not know what else to say, so she said goodbye and was about to hang up.
At the last moment, Qin Yue spoke again: "I'm in Room 1808 of Lilium Restaurant."
Jian Ran nodded instinctively."I won't disturb you anymore if you eat."
"Jian Ran!" Qin Yue's tone was clearly heavier. After a few seconds, he said, "I'll wait for you."
"No need ..." Jian Ran instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could do so, the other party had already hung up.
Looking at the darkened screen, Jian Ran frowned slightly before sighing helplessly. Why would she refuse to have lunch with her new husband?
The Lily Hotel was a five-star hotel near the company. It was expensive and Jian Ran usually didn't come unless the company had an important customer.
Arriving at the Lily Hotel, Jian Ran was still hoping to avoid bumping into her acquaintances, but who knew that she would bump into Qin Yue's special assistant, Xu Huiyi.
Jian Ran wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but the other party stopped her, "Miss Jian, Boss Qin asked me to come and pick you up."
Jian Ran smiled awkwardly and followed Xu Huiyi's footsteps.
She and Qin Yue were clearly a legal couple, but now, she gave off a feeling of having a secret affair. It was so awkward that she felt ashamed.
Arriving at room 1808, Jian Ran saw Qin Yue's other special assistant, Liu Yong.
Qin Yue took the initiative to take Jian Ran's coat and hung it on a hanger. He pulled out a chair for her to sit on and said, "Sister Xu and Liu Yong have worked beside me for many years. They also know about us."
Jian Ran nodded and did not say a word. She just looked at Xu Huiyi and Liu Yong.
Liu Yong and Xu Huiyi nodded politely at her and left the room in an orderly ma er without saying anything.
Qin Yue personally scooped a bowl of soup and passed it to Jian Ran: "All these years, I've also been doing some business, so I'm following some people."
Hearing him take the initiative to explain, Jian Ran felt gratified in her heart. She gave him a bashful smile."Yes, I understand."
Qin Yue's background was probably more complicated than she had imagined. He had his aunts at home cooking breakfast for him in the morning, and was accompanied by capable men like Liu Yong and Xu Huiyi.
Jian Ran didn't want to go into details. After all, she had agreed to marry him because she thought he looked good, not because of his family background.
Jian Ran didn't ask too much, and Qin Yue didn't say much either. The two of them continued to eat in silence.
Furthermore, Qin Yue had been educated since he was young and could not eat or sleep, so he was not used to saying too much at the table.
This meal was very quiet.
When both of them put down their chopsticks, Qin Yue said lightly: "No matter how busy you are at work in the future, you still have to eat."
Jian Ran nodded."I will pay attention."
Hearing her perfunctory reply, Qin Yue's eyes under the golden mirror darkened. It was obvious that he wasn't satisfied, and he said: "Let's have lunch together from now on."
Qin Yue's tone was overbearing, but Jian Ran did not dislike him. She raised her head and smiled at him: "Thank you Boss Qin for your concern, but ..."
"Boss Qin?" Qin Yue's brows twitched, "Since you called me 'Boss Qin', then do you want me to listen to what this new CEO has to say to you?"
This man had used his identity to suppress her so quickly.
Jian Ran had been crawling and rolling in Operation Department for three years, she was usually a sharp person, but now, she really didn't know how to deal with Qin Yue.
Qin Yue seized the opportunity and continued, "Then it's decided."
Jian Ran didn't want to meet Qin Yue every day at noon, but she couldn't find any excuse to decline, so she nodded and agreed.
She even found a reason to flee in a hurry, one that was as pale as it could get.
Looking at Jian Ran's fleeing figure, Qin Yue's eyes darkened slightly. His slender fingertips subconsciously tapped on the table as if he was pla ing something.
"Young Master." A woman in her forties or fifties knocked on the door and interrupted Qin Yue's thoughts.
Qin Yue raised his head and looked over. His eyes were as cold as usual: "What's the matter?"
The woman said, "Are these dishes to your liking?"
Qin Yue was a person with a small obsession with cleanliness and rarely ate meals outside, but this Lily Hotel belonged to him. The elegant private room of 1808 was specially prepared for him according to his preferences.
This woman was responsible for Qin Yue's food since he was young. She understood Qin Yue's taste the best.
"From now on, I'll prepare two Sichuan dishes for every meal. Less spicy!" Qin Yue did not answer, but gave another order instead.
His eating habits were light, but Jian Ran was spicy. She didn't tell him about this, but Qin Yue knew about it.
