Chapter 537: A Shocker
There were so many pa.s.sengers in the elevator.
And when the door opened on other floors, those who were waiting for the elevator didn’t dare to get in any longer.
Who would dare to rush in after they saw Wei Zhiqian’s terrible expression?
In the group chat, one employee who had managed to return to her office complained, “What a bad idea Manager w.a.n.g had…”
Employee B: “Thank goodness I didn’t enter. When I looked into the elevator, our colleagues’ faces looked like they had been kidnapped by the President.”
After Manager w.a.n.g returned to his office, he hadn’t even begun breathing normally when he saw all these messages. Cr*p, he thought.
The colleagues who appeared kidnapped were so tense that they didn’t care whether or not they had reached the floor they had pressed the b.u.t.ton for.
They all got off at random floors, one after another.
Finally, when the elevator stopped at his floor, before the doors opened, everyone heard Wei Zhiqian’s voice over the intercom, “It seems as if your work is not keeping you busy enough, and you have too much free time. Later, I will a.s.sign more work for you.”
Everyone: “…”
Although they had thankfully not been fired, no one felt as if they were better off at all.
The last few employees rushed out of the elevators like bees flying away from a disturbed hive.
They didn’t dare stay any longer in the elevator.
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
Tan Mo: “…”
Ming Yeqing: “…”
Qin Muye: “…”
Qin Muye thought to herself that she didn’t care if she got in trouble.
She must find a way to go to the Qinyang Company and see if her brother also had problems with authority in the company.
When they reached Wei Zhiqian’s office, it had taken them twice the normal amount of time that it usually took.
Wei Zhiqian’s office…
Zhou Jingan was waiting there.
When he saw Tan Mo, he almost shouted out the two words: “Mrs. President”.
However, then he noticed that Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing were also present.
He did not know if they had become aware of this matter yet.
Zhou Jingan carefully chose to keep his silence.
Wei Zhiqian led Tan Mo and the others into the office.
After what had happened in the elevator, Qin Muye wasn’t really in the mood to ask Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo to quickly talk about the urgent matter that they had wanted to tell them.
AHEM! Finally, it was Ming Yeqing who decided to take the bull by the horns. “Mo Mo, what was the important matter that you wanted to tell us about before?”
At this time, Wei Zhiqian was still holding onto Tan Mo’s hand.
Ming Yeqing thought to himself, could it be that old men are like this when they are dating?
He would not loosen his grip on the little lady. Was he afraid that he would be abandoned by her?
A blush crept onto Tan Mo’s face, and she squeezed Wei Zhiqian’s hand.
From morning until now, Tan Mo had acted especially awkward in front of him.
This was the first time that Tan Mo had squeezed his hand first.
The action was especially intimate.
Wei Zhiqian held onto Tan Mo’s hand even more tightly.
Tan Mo: “…”
Did Uncle misunderstand something?
“Uncle, you say it.” Tan Mo realized she had to tell Wei Zhiqian explicitly.
Wei Zhiqian did not mind at all that he was the one who had to do the explaining.
He looked at Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye and told them, “From this morning onward, Mo Mo is going to be my girlfriend.”
Qin Muye: “…”
Ming Yeqing: “…”
Tan Mo: “…”
Was this the way you’ve chosen to explain it?
“There…there must be a cause and a consequence, right? Why did you suddenly decide to get together this morning?” Qin Muye timidly asked. On one hand, she was curious, and on the other hand, she was afraid. She could only hug Ming Yeqing’s elbow and plan to hide behind Ming Yeqing at any time.
“There is no need to explain everything in detail.” Wei Zhiqian didn’t care about gossiping about private things. “I confessed to Mo Mo and, coincidentally, Mo Mo also…”
Wei Zhiqian turned his head, looked at Tan Mo with a smile, and said, “Coincidentally, Mo Mo also likes me. So, of course, we decided it would be only natural for us to get together.”
Qin Muye felt that her brain had become bloated from the news.
Look at how Wei Zhiqian spoke, like he was about to float away on cloud nine.
Tan Mo had after all called Wei Zhiqian uncle for 12 years.
Qin Muye was going to have to get used to this unexpected news that she was now to become half of a couple with Wei Zhiqian.
These two were so different in both age and status.
Don’t say it was so natural, all right.
Qin Muye hid behind Ming Yeqing, only exposing her head. She knew that what she was going to say would probably lead to her death.
“Mo Mo, did you agree so quickly? You did not hesitate? How could you have gotten used to your new relations.h.i.+p so quickly?” Qin Muye continued curiously. “When brother Zhiqian confessed to you, were you not shocked at all?”
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
He wanted to call Qin Mufeng to have him take Qin Muye away.
Tan Mo looked at Wei Zhiqian. There were a lot of things that she could have confided in Qin Muye, but she was too embarra.s.sed to say them to Qin Muye in front of Wei Zhiqian.
“I…when we get back to school, I will tell you,” Tan Mo said, and she gestured to Qin Muye with her eyes.
Wei Zhiqian glanced at Tan Mo with a smile.
To think the little lady had secrets that he could not listen to.
Of course, it was very normal that there were secrets between these little ladies.
However, this was also a bit concerning to him, and Wei Zhiqian was thus very curious.
“All right,” Qin Muye nodded and glanced at Wei Zhiqian.
That gaze was filled with provocation.
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
“Anyway, I am just letting you know that we two are now together,” Wei Zhiqian concluded. “I will also not be Mo Mo’s uncle in the future, as I am now her boyfriend.”
“…” Qin Muye opened her mouth again and stammered, “Do all the seniors in your families know about this matter?”
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
Why was Qin Muye being more and more annoying?
“We haven’t told them yet. We’re afraid that they will not be able to accept it if we tell them too directly,” Tan Mo said. Of course, the important thing was that the Tan family certainly would not be able to accept it.
“So, we intend to leak some hints in the future so that both families have some mental preparation.”
“That’s true, if you tell them suddenly, it certainly would not be easy for them to accept.” Qin Muye nodded in agreement.
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
How was he not easy to accept?
Tan Mo felt that she had really underestimated Qin Muye.
She’d originally thought that Qin Muye wouldn’t dare to ask questions.
Eventually, Ming Yeqing did not need to do anything, because Qin Muye had already asked many questions.
“Then, in future, how will you address brother Zhiqian?” Qin Muye asked another question.
Tan Mo thought about it and said, “I will still call him uncle! After all, I have called him that for 12 years and I am used to it. If I call him something else, it will feel like I am calling someone else.”
Qin Muye hesitated, then she put herself on the line and asked, “But, when you’re dating, won’t others feel like you don’t have morals when you call him uncle?”
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
Tan Mo: “…”
“It’s only a nickname!” Wei Zhiqian finally could not tolerate Qin Muye anymore.
He decided not to give her any more opportunities to ask questions and asked instead, “What do you want to eat? Think about it. I will treat you to a meal in my new ident.i.ty as Mo Mo’s boyfriend.”
Qin Muye’s focus was diverted just as he’d expected, and she immediately started to think about what she wanted to eat.
