Chapter 245 - Exposing a Few Secrets

Once Li Qin Yao was able to return to work, the first thing she did was to look at the stack of documents on her table.

The development project in B City has only begun, but it seemed that she was always taking a few days off. Although she could still work from home, most of her work was delegated to Liang Sheng. At this thought, Li Qin Yao was uneasy. But she also knows that there was nothing she could do like this time she was forced to stay home due to her injury.

As Li Qin Yao was going through her documents, someone knocked on the door, and a few seconds later, Liang Sheng walked in. 

After a brief greeting, Liang Sheng quickly gave his report on what was going on during her absence. 

"Regarding the incident during the dinner party last week, WS Group has decided to pull Mister Chen away from our project. Later, we won't be dealing with him to discuss the supplies for the project in B City," Liang Sheng said. 

Li Qin Yao paused after she heard the news. Although she had expected that the company will punish Chen Hao for his behavior that night, it was still surprising to hear it news about her ex-boyfriend.

"According to what I heard, one of the directors of WS Group was related to Mister Chen's fiancée. Since it was the case, it was impossible for the company to terminate Mister Chen from the company." Liang Sheng paused to observe her expression. "Do we want to continue cooperating with WS Group?"

"It's fine," Li Qin Yao said. "WS Group had apologized for that incident and Mister Chen had received his punishment. I wouldn't terminate our agreement because of personal matters."

"Understood." Liang Sheng stayed around for a while longer and was about to leave when Li Qin Yao called him again.

"Next week, I will be going to H Town for a few days," Li Qin Yao said. "I am not sure how long I will be going, so if I did not return in time, Liang Sheng, you will have to manage a few things for me during my absence."

Liang Sheng frowned as he thought of the reason why Li Qin Yao would need to go to H Town. "You don't have to worry. I will look over the project during your absence."

Li Qin Yao let out a long sigh. "Sorry. It seemed that I have always taken a few days to leave once the construction began. Liang Sheng, sorry for the trouble."

"It was no trouble at all," Liang Sheng said. "I have promised Chairman Li that I will help you in any way that I can."

Seeing that it was time for her next appointment, Li Qin Yao grabbed her bag and went with Liang Sheng to visit the site. 

Previously, Li Qin Yao was someone who did not like to drive and preferred to take public transport. But after driving her car for a while, she started to find that it was convenient to drive when she had to visit a site. At least she could store her safety boot and helmet in her vehicle. 

Li Qin Yao walked around the site with Liang Sheng and was accompanied by the site manager and a few engineers. Seeing that the progress was according to schedule, Li Qin Yao was elated.

After visiting the site, Li Qin Yao decided to have her lunch at one of the restaurants not far away from the site. Initially, Li Qin Yao was planning to treat Liang Sheng for lunch to thank him for his hard work during her absence, but as the bespectacled man had another engagement, Li Qin Yao decided to have her meal alone. 

As the memory crossed her mind, a bitter smile curved on her lips. 

"Mrs. Zhang."

It took her a while to notice that someone was calling her name. Li Qin Yao tilted her head up and was surprised upon seeing her husband's best friend, Wei Jun Hao, stood in front of her.

"I have been calling you for a while," Wei Jun Hao said and chuckled. "Don't tell me that you are still not used to be addressed as Mrs. Zhang?"

Li Qin Yao laughed at his teasing. "You're right. I guess it will take me a while to get used to it." She stared at Wei Jun Hao for a while and tilted her head. "Why are you here?"

"I was meeting a client around here," Wei Jun Hao said. "I did not expect to run into you here. Are you going to lunch? If you haven't eaten yet, why don't we eat together?"

Li Qin Yao immediately agreed to his request. The two of them entered a restaurant and pick up a seat near the window. The waiter arrived with a menu and left after taking their orders.

"The last time I saw you, were at the bureau," Wei Jun Hao said. 

A smile curved on her lips as she recalled the day she obtained her marriage certificate with Zhang Yu Han.

"I heard that you injured yourself during a dinner party," Wei Jun Hao said. "Is your ankle alright now?"

"Hmm... It did not hurt that much when I walk now," Li Qin Yao said. "I heard that you went to the station to deal with that incident. Thank you."

"You don't have to be this polite. Your husband did pay me for my service," Wei Jun Hao said with a chuckle.

A thought crossed her mind and the smile on her face widened. "Since there are only the two of us, Mister Wei, could I trouble you to tell me stories about Zhang Yu Han?"

Hearing the request, Wei Jun Hao's face lit up with glee. He hesitated for a while at the thought that his captain might torture him for exposing a few of his shameful secrets, but thinking that this could be the only opportunity he has to get back at Zhang Yu Han, Wei Jun Hao gladly told Li Qin Yao stories about Zhang Yu Han during his high school years.

Of course, Wei Jun Hao still knew his limit and did not disclose anything that he should not tell her.

"You have to promise that you won't let the captain know that I told you these things," Wei Jun Hao said.

"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me."

The two of them separated once they finished their lunch. As Li Qin Yao recalled the conversation with Wei Jun Hao, a smile curled on her lips. 

With the bit of information that Wei Jun Hao had told her, Li Qin Yao suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to give her husband a surprise.
