Chapter 72.1: Told You I Can, Let Alone Chairman Liang!

It was really a big deal…

Royal College of Art was once her dream college. However, in the two years she graduated, her mother was in poor health. Her original intention of going abroad was broken.

“Oh, that's how it is.” Yan Liang looked at Rex's business card at hand. She didn't know why her previously excited state was inexplicably low now.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Is this the so-called “same-s.e.x repulsion” [1]?

This woman named Ye Qing. She hadn't seen or heard of her before? Just from what a.s.sistant Guan said, she was a little envious.

Yes, she was envious.

——Liang Xi Cheng, he was the representative n.o.ble son of City A. No one in the upper cla.s.s of City A would not know these three words[2]. Countless celebrities were flocking to him just to get in favor of this man. She had not been around him for a long time. But of course, she knew that occasionally he would have dinner with some stars or celebrities.

In fact, Liang Xi Cheng, as a man of his status, could have as many women around him as he wanted. However, it could be seen from Yan Liang's eyes that he didn't seem to be the type of man who falls drunk on a woman's beauty.

This was also the trait which Yan Liang appreciated the most.

At that time, she really believed that Liang Xi Cheng was such a dazzling man. He was like a star in the sky, and ordinary people were not worthy of him.

Now she knows the truth. It should be said that there was always a place in his heart for another woman. So, he needed to be clean-living and honest[3].

This Ye Qing person… She should be a splendid woman, right?

So much so, that she is worthy of being Liang Xicheng's “important” and “special” person.

Yan Liang was still fl.u.s.tered. With only a few simple words, who knew how far her mind wandered.

“Secretary Bai, before you leave work. Can you sort out the meeting materials that Chairman Liang needs these days for me? I will take over your load in the coming ten days. As for the design department, you can go there directly. Chairman Liang should have already explained it all.”

“Oh, yes.” Although she was a little absent-minded, she heard it very clearly. “In fact, the work is not very complicated. I have prepared some materials. Anyway, I am also in EC, a.s.sistant Guan. If there is any problem, you can come to me at any time. Besides, I'll trouble you in these days.

“This was no trouble. It's my job.”

These two people politely exchanged a few words. At this time, a.s.sistant Guan saw it was almost lunchtime. He let Yan Liang down to eat first.

Yan Liang touched her stomach. Actually, she was a little hungry. It was unclear whether or not it was a psychological effect. Now, she always felt that she digested her food very fast.

What should she do with this little one in her stomach?

EC's staff cafeteria

Yan Liang found a place near the window and sat down with her meal. When she just took a bite of her meal, someone put their plate down opposite her. Qin Ziyin pouted and sat opposite her.

“You, d.a.m.ned woman. Why didn't you inform me of such big news?”

Yan Liang's face looked distracted.  She somewhat failed to understand the reason why. “What?”

“When I just came down. People from the design department were all saying that you needed to go to the design department. You need to help them modify the bidding map of the munic.i.p.al Party committee building. Is this true?”

It turned out it was because of this. Yan Liang nodded, “Well, I didn't know about it until this morning.”

Yan Liang's face was calm while Qin Ziyin looked very excited.

She winked at her friend and said with a frowning, “What a good thing! Alas, my dear, I envy you so much. Chairman Liang really looks out for you. No wonder, those arrogant women in the design department are jealous of you now. They say you are… “

Perhaps, she realized that she had said too much. Qin Ziyin quickly shut her mouth and bowed her head to eat.

Yan Liang was able to hear it clearly. With Qin Ziyin's big mouth, she can never hide any secrets. She didn't say the latter half of it, but it was probably not a pretty word.

She tapped her plate with chopsticks. “Finish your sentence. What did they say about me?”

“… Ha, haha. Nothing. It was really nothing… “

“Ziyin, every time you lie to me, you do so with such an expression. It's a failure. Come on. If you don't say it. I'll hear it eventually one day. “

Qin Ziyin sighed, “That's true. Our EC company is just so big. But really, you don't need to worry about it. You all know that the company's situation is just a little bit like that. Women spread a few words to women for gossip.”

“What words?”

In fact, it was normal. Yan Liang may really not care. However, now, she was sure that she had something to do with Liang Xi Cheng. She can't help but want to know about it.

Qin Ziyin was forced by Yan Liang persistence. So, she could only report the gossip to her (BYL).

“When I went to the pantry this morning, I overheard several women talking about you. It seems that Chairman Liang never had a female secretary around him before, but he had you now. He seemed very satisfied. I guess they are not convinced with that. They said you… Well, it's said… It's said that you climb on his bed. Chairman Liang is always fascinated by your efforts. In addition, you were a secretary. Now, you can partic.i.p.ate in the bidding of the munic.i.p.al Party committee building of the design department. Those women are even more jealous. Haha… That was unpleasant to hear. But honey, don't worry. Those gossiping woman had been taught a lesson this morning. They only gossip unnecessarily and utterly slap their own faces when in the back.”

Qin Ziyin really did quarrel with several women in the design department for this matter. Later on, the director of the design department came over, and the issue was settled.

Of course, she dared to talk with Yan Liang so directly because she thought that Yan Liang absolutely would not take the matter to heart.

She was never the kind of person who had the leisure to worry about such gossip.

However, what she didn't expect was that this time Yan Liang did really put these matters to heart.
