Unfortunately, there was no similarity between the two at the moment.

Qiao Sisi narrowed her eyes and set a goal for herself. She must become a jewelry designer like Xiang Jinyu.

Time passed slowly. The clock’s needle pointed to noon.

Qiao Sisi, who was engrossed in her work, looked up to see a tall figure blocking the clock.

“You finally responded?”

Zheng Zeyi smiled devilishly. His face was so close that Qiao Sisi could see the fine hairs on his face.

Qiao Sisi quickly got up and took a few steps back, her voice much softer. “Why are you here?”

Hearing that, Zheng Zeyi stood up straight and drummed on the table with his long fingers. He smiled and said, “I’m here to visit my fiancée.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

Qiao Sisi glared at Zheng Zeyi. She scarcely realized that this coquettish look of hers made his gaze darken.

At this moment, many of his colleagues had gone to the cafeteria for lunch, and there were only a few people in the office. She did not become the center of attention.

“Let’s go.” Zheng Zeyi pulled Qiao Sisi’s hand.

The sudden pull caused QIao Sisi to stagger but Zheng Zeyi held her in time and asked, “Where shall we go? I still have to have lunch.”

What the hell? Working diligently can also attract Zheng Zeyi, she thought.

Moreover, he was not taking her in the direction of the canteen or out of the company. Instead… it was Xiang Jinyu’s office?!

When she realized what was going on, she stopped in her tracks.

Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and held her little hand tightly. “I remember… Didn’t you say you wanted to see your idol? I’ll take you there.”

“You’re taking me to see Xiang Jinyu?” An indescribable emotion surged within her.

She thought that as the young master, Zheng Zeyi would not take such a small matter to heart. However, his behavior now told her that he remembered.

Qiao Sisi’s emotions were a little complicated, and she looked at Zheng Zeyi with a somewhat indescribable expression.

The sun shone on the two of them through the window, giving them a touch of radiance in each other’s eyes.

“Can’t I?” Zheng Zeyi asked with a smile in his eyes.

Qiao Sisi blushed for some reason and quickly lowered her head to hide her awkwardness. She followed Zheng Zeyi into the office.

The door to Xiang Jinyu’s office was ajar. It was not closed, as if she was expecting someone.

The two of them had just walked to the office door when Xiang Jinyu’s slightly hoarse voice came from inside. “Come in.”

Zheng Zeyi’s lips curled up as he held Qiao Sisi’s hand and walked in.

The office was very spacious. A gorgeous but cold-looking woman sat in front of a three-meter-long desk. She was the CEO of Jinyu Company, Xiang Jinyu.

Zheng Zeyi did not greet her but took a long stride to the sofa and sat down. He even pulled Qiao Sisi onto the sofa.

Hmm… Something was not right!

Qiao Sisi, who was still confused, suddenly reacted and quickly stood up from the sofa. “CEO Xiang.”

After she finished speaking, Xiang Jinyu looked up with a curious expression. “A new member of the company? Are you the person Zheng Zeyi recommended?”

Qiao Sisi gritted her teeth and nodded.

Although she had entered through the back door, since she was already here, she hoped that CEO Xiang would not have any objections to her.

“Sit and talk.” There was a pen between Xiang Jinyu’s fingers as she pointed at the sofa Zheng Zeyi was sitting on.

Qiao Sisi shook her head. She did not want to leave a bad impression on Xiang Jinyu. “It’s alright, CEO Xiang. I can just stand…”

Before she could finish, a pair of strong hands suddenly wrapped around Qiao Sisi’s waist and pulled her onto the sofa. She sank into the leather sofa.

Qiao Sisi could not react but she could not flare up either. She glared and said, “What are you doing, Zheng Zeyi!”

To Zheng Zeyi, she looked just like an angry little wildcat. He was full of smiles.

Because Xiang Jinyu was around, Qiao Sisi did not continue speaking after she said that.

“Zheng Zeyi, what do you want to ask me?” Xiang Jinyu put down his pen and looked at Zheng Zeyi.

The two of them were both in the business world and were both influential figures. In addition, they had been friends since they were young, so their relationship was quite good.

Zheng Zeyi leaned on the sofa and narrowed his long eyes. After a moment, he said, “Isn’t your company organizing a business trip to Yunqi later?”

Xiang Jinyu paused and nodded. “Indeed. Why? Do you want to recommend someone?”

“That’s right. What do you think of her?”

As Zheng Zeyi spoke, the topic was shifted to the unrelated person, Qiao Sisi. Even the person involved was stunned.

Qiao Sisi frowned and tugged at Zheng Zeyi’s sleeve. “Stop talking. I can’t.”

She got a foot in the door through Zheng Zeyi’s recommendation. During this period, she only wanted to work hard and learnt the ropes. She had not thought of going on a business trip.

Newcomers would be hated if they were given too much preferential treatment.

Xiang Jinyu understood a little. She tilted her head and looked at Qiao Sisi. “Looks like Young Master Zheng has a crush on someone?”

“She’s my fiancée,” Zheng Zeyi said with emphasis.

Before Qiao Sisi could say anything, Xiang Jinyu had already taken a document from the drawer. She picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it, then stamped it.

The series of actions was done smoothly.

Putting the documents back into the drawer, Xiang Jinyu said to Qiao Sisi, “I’ve already put you on the business trip list. We’ll leave in three days. As for the work request, I’ll get my assistant to brief you. You just have to prepare well.”

A pie fell from the sky, and Qiao Sisi felt that it was unreal.

However, she was still not ready to accept it. “I’m sorry, CEO Xiang. Don’t listen to Zheng Zeyi. I can’t do it. You should give the spot to someone else.”

Zheng Zeyi did not say anything. He leaned on the side and watched calmly. He even wanted to drink some tea.

Qiao Sisi had never thought that she would be given such a big responsibility just after joining the company. She had relied on Zheng Zeyi to get her a job there. She did not want to rely on others to get everything.

That would only make her uneasy and, moreover, these things do not belong to her.

Xiang Jinyu smiled. Her voice had a calming charm. “Don’t worry. Since I asked you to participate, it means that I believe you have the ability. Not anyone can enter Jinyu Company. Even if Zheng Zeyi were to stuff people in, I wouldn’t want anyone who doesn’t meet the requirements.

I’ve seen your information. You’re a good seedling. This time, you’ll be going on a business trip to learn. I’m very optimistic about your performance. ”

These words of trust made Qiao Sisi’s heart leap with joy.

She could not bring herself to turn her down even though she had wanted to at first. Since CEO Xiang had already said so, there was no point in being coy.

Isn’t my goal to come to Jinyu to learn and design the jewelry I like? she thought. This is a very good opportunity.
