Chapter 325: The Quiet Man (6)
"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Song Qingchun then winked at Cheng Qingchong with a smile and mimicked her earlier tone and said, "Miss Cheng, you surely know how to make jokes, if I already know the answer, why would I ask you?"
Cheng Qingchong was trying to hint to Song Qingchun that the presents were all meant for her. She assumed the girl would get it, but to her surprise, the girl started to joke with her instead, and it really did look like the hint had flown way over her head.
Who would have thought the girl Big Boss loves is so ditzy and cute...
Just as Cheng Qingchong thought that, Song Qingchun said, "Miss Cheng, unlike you, I don’t spend my days beside Su Zhinian, so I really don’t know many things about him."
Then, Song Qingchun leaned in conspiratorially and whispered, "So, if you know who the person is, can you please tell me?"
Unlike you, I don’t spend my days beside Su Zhinian... if you know who the person is...
The gears in Cheng Qingchong’s mind started to turn when she heard those words from Song Qingchun. For some reason, those words sounded particularly like the words of a private investigator in her mind.
Could it be that I’ve misunderstood her? Miss Song is not as ditzy as I believed, and she assumed these are presents Big Boss bought for another woman? The only reason she is pressing with these questions is because she wants to know the identity of the non-existent "other woman" in Big Boss’ life?
This could lead to misunderstandings of impossible heights. I must clear this up lest any unnecessary misunderstanding happens between them.
Cheng Qingchong immediately shook her head at Song Qingchun and explained with a serious expression, "Miss Song, I can promise you that CEO Su has only shown interest in one woman throughout all these years. I’ve been his assistant for many years, and I have never seen him have any sort of unsavory interaction with a female. In fact, I can count on my fingers the number of times I’ve seen him have private conversations with female clients or guests."
Song Qingchun knew all that already; what she really wanted to know then was the actual name of this Tingting.
She couldn’t help herself from cutting Cheng Qingchong off and pressed with some degree of desperation. "I know all that already, so please just tell me who that person is."
Hearing this, Cheng Qingchong was even more certain that Song Qingchun had misunderstood Su Zhinian. She knew it was not the time to convince Song Qingchun that Su Zhinian was truly the most loyal man she had ever met but clear up the misunderstanding once and for all. "Miss Song, all these presents purchased by CEO Su are for..."
Song Qingchun opened her eyes wide, staring at Cheng Qingchong with her complete focus, waiting for the final answer to be revealed.
Unfortunately, just as Cheng Qingchong reached the most crucial part of the revelation, her phone, which she had placed on the table, rang. It was from Su Zhinian.
The years of professional training made Cheng Qingchong pick up the phone the moment she saw Su Zhinian’s name on the display. She said respectfully, "CEO Su."
"Okay, I understand."
Then Cheng Qingchong stood up, whispering, "I’m sorry."
She pointed at the office door and walked out, her heels clicking against the floor.
