"We haven't seen each other in a long time. Is there really a need to be so cold when we meet?" Even though there was a smile on Lesa's face, her smile was a bit distant. Ling Yao's attitude didn't let her feel good.

Are they all cold-blooded monsters with no feelings? One or two of them were so cold.

Ling Yao smirked as he said in a low voice: "My attitude will depend on the purpose of your visit."

If he was just here to travel, he would have taken out the host's attitude and welcomed him wholeheartedly. But if he had other intentions and came with ill intentions, why would he waste his expression?

"So vigilant." She took out a folded piece of paper, opened it, and placed it on the table. "I am the assistant to the chairman chosen by the board of directors."

"Assistant to the chairman?" The letter of appointment was signed jointly by all the sensible members of the board of directors except him.

As the chairman, whenever there was a big issue with the company, Ling Yao would have the power to veto it. No matter how many people on the board objected, if they could not convince him, the resolution would not be passed. Of course, as members of the board, they had their own rights to exercise, such as promoting a small assistant.

Of course, Lesya understood that this was the best the board could do to help her. They could promote her to the position of assistant chairman behind Ling Yao's back, but whether or not he would accept the board's' good intentions' wasn't certain.

Whether she could stay or not depended on her own ability.

"I originally wanted to report to you about some matters related to this post, but since you are not in the country, I have no choice but to follow you to China to meet you." She politely used honorifics to place herself in the position of a subordinate.

"I'm sorry, I don't need an assistant." Ling Yao lightly flicked the letter out, and leaned back against the leather boss's chair with an arrogant posture.

She knew that this trip to China wouldn't go smoothly.

With a smile on her face, she said leisurely: "Besides the board of directors, I was also entrusted by Mr. Nacht, and he wishes for me to stay in H City for a period of time to see if you are doing well here?"

Hearing this, a little crease finally appeared between Ling Yuanzhi's eyebrows.

Hai Xiao Min came back to cook the silver ear soup, looked at the time, and realized that it was already past dinner, but Ling Yao still hadn't come to eat.

"Has Ling Yao's food been delivered yet?" Hai Xiaomin asked the maid.

The advantage of working close to the house was that as long as he had free time, Ling Yao would come and eat with her. If there was a temporary meeting, someone would deliver it to him.

The maid shook her head. "Not yet."

"Help me pack up my food. I'll send it down with the soup later." Hai Xiao Min said as he started to stuff the recently brewed tremella soup into the thermal insulation cup.

"Yes, ma'am." The maid went to help pack the food on the table.

Returning to the office, Ling Yao would have never thought that he would bump into Lesya while he was out. Furthermore, two women of different skin colors and different races were sitting together, chatting enthusiastically.

"Ling Yao, you're back?" Looking at him, Hai Xiaomin turned around to greet him with a brilliant smile. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that Lesya had stood up and was paying more attention to Ling Yao's appearance.

"Why did you come down?" Ling Yao glanced at Lesa, then his eyes fell on Hai Xiaomin, and sat on the sofa beside them.

"I've brought you your food, as well as the Silver Ear Soup." Upon his reminder, Hai Xiao Min opened the cup filled with silver ear soup. The soup was steaming hot and emitted a light and sweet fragrance.

"What is this? It smells so good! " she asked curiously, leaning forward.

"Silver Ear Soup is a sweet dish made from the stew of silver ear, red date, medlar and lotus seed. Miss Lesya, would you like to try it as well?" Miqui probably didn't have it, and it was a rare sight for her, and she was looking forward to it.

When Hai Xiao Min came down, she didn't expect anyone else to accompany them to dinner, so she only prepared their tableware. She gave her share to Lesya.

Lesya took a bite with her spoon and squinted her eyes in enjoyment. "The taste is really great!"

Hai Xiaomin was very happy as she scooped another bowl for Ling Yuan.

Ling Yao silently received it, and watched the two of them interact in a friendly manner, and felt dejected: "You two know each other?"

Is it that easy for women to get close to each other? It had only been a few minutes, but the conversation had already become so lively!

Hai Xiaomin recounted how she got lost when she went out in the morning, and how coincidental it was.

"I'm now Qiao Qiao's assistant. Originally, I was worried that I wouldn't get used to coming to China alone and seeing that Miss Hai and Qiao know each other, I don't think it will be hard for me. In the future, I can see Miss Hai more often, right?" Lesya laughed.

Hearing this, Ling Yao shot a cold glance at her. He had not agreed to let her stay at all, and the other party's self-made introduction displeased him somewhat. However, he did not make a sound, but only picked up his bowl of silver ear soup and drank.

"Assistant? Is Miss Lesya not on a trip to H City? " Hai Xiao Min said in surprise.

"That's the job I flew here for, but Joe and I were neighbors for a while when we were kids, and then he moved away. We haven't seen each other in years." Lesya smiled as she exchanged glances with Ling Yao.

Ling Yao's expression relaxed a little as he recalled his childhood experiences.

Hai Xiao Min took up a cup of tea and moistened his mouth as he listened.

"That's right. When we were young, our parents engaged us. That means I'm Qiao Qiao's fiancee!" Lesya suddenly said excitedly.

"Pfft — —" Hai Xiao Min almost couldn't hold it in and spat out in shock. What the hell was going on? Fiancée?

To this, Ling Yao only furrowed his brows, before calmly asking in a cold tone, "Is there any meaning in bringing up that old story about Chen Zhi Ma's rotten grain again?"

With a smile, Lesya's sapphire eyes sparkled. "After all, it was a decision made by my parents back then. It can be considered as having a special meaning, can't it?"

"The person in front of you is my wife." Ling Yao didn't seem to care at all as he introduced his to Xiao Min.

"Miss Hai is your wife?" In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pair of eyes widened in shock. Then, as if she had realized something, she apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, Hai, I don't know anything about your relationship. I hope you don't mind what I just said."

"It doesn't matter." Hai Xiao Min's mouth twitched. Her fiance had married with another woman, but she was at a loss as to what to do and had to apologize to the other two. He felt that something was off.

However, when did you get married? If old Mr. Nudge had known that Joe was married, he wouldn't have asked me to take care of Joe's life. "

Old Mr. Nudge? She was talking about Ling Yao's grandfather?

Hai Xiao Min was stunned, Ling Yao's grandfather asked Lesya to take care of him?
