Chapter 279: Chapter 277 He Must Set the Matter in Stone

“What a joke, no matter how important work is, it’s not as important as my Zhaozhao. If there ever comes a day when I go abroad, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance it’s because I’m marrying some foreign tycoon and becoming a princess or something…” Xu Zhenzhen held her pretty chin high with absolute certainty as she bragged.

In fact, she had originally come from abroad, and if it weren’t for Song Sinian, she might have really gone abroad again.

It’s just that staying there long-term was unlikely.

That person…

Xu Zhenzhen’s gaze dimmed as she looked towards Lu Zhaozhao in front of her.

She had never expected her to be that person’s sister.

“Thud thud!”

The door to the office resounded at that moment, and before Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen could react, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Seeing the person at the door, Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes instantly lit up, “Big Brother, what brings you here?”

She leaned over the back of the sofa to look at Xia Wenqing who had just entered, squinting her watery eyes.

Xia Wenqing surveyed the office inconspicuously before gently looking at Lu Zhaozhao and saying, “I heard you were here, so I came to check on you. I happen to be working at the Song Family office recently.”

“You’re here too?” Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes suddenly widened, “Is there a problem with the Song Family?”

Xia Wenqing walked over, raised his hand, and soothingly rubbed Lu Zhaozhao’s little head, “No, the Song Family is cooperating with XJ Group. It’s all part of the normal process. Do you think your Big Brother can’t take a back door?”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Zhaozhao let out a sigh of relief, but suddenly, as if she remembered something, she immediately hugged Xu Zhenzhen and said, “Big Brother, this is my bestie Xu Zhenzhen, my best friend! She’s the one and only!”

Xu Zhenzhen’s face turned slightly red as she put on a calm front and nodded to Xia Wenqing.

In fact, when he came to the Song Family, she had noticed him, but it seemed like this man didn’t pay any attention to her.

It had scared her for quite some time, but on second thought, someone of his stature probably wouldn’t notice her. She was overthinking it.

It was all her misconception.

Xia Wenqing nodded to Xu Zhenzhen as well, without saying anything more.

Lu Zhaozhao, failing to detect the subtle atmosphere between the two, instead broke into laughter upon seeing Xia Wenqing’s work ID around his neck, “Big Brother, you’re in the Legal Department too? Zhenzhen is also… Can you take extra care of her for me?”

“No, no need for that.” Xu Zhenzhen quickly reached out to tug at Lu Zhaozhao’s sleeve.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaozhao pressed down on her and whispered, “Let me tell you, my brother is a big shot in the legal world. It’s best to learn as much as you can from him, so you won’t lose out in the future, you know?”

“…”

Xu Zhenzhen didn’t even know how to explain.

Then she heard Xia Wenqing respond indifferently, “Since it’s Zhaozhao’s request, I will certainly comply.”

Speaking, his gaze turned to Xu Zhenzhen, he slowly said, “Starting today, you’ll work with me on the cases at hand. Go tell Secretary Hu now, I’ll wait for you here.”

Xu Zhenzhen was completely numb.

The reason she had always been avoiding Xia Wenqing was because she liked him too much; when she couldn’t see him, she could still get a little thrill, but now, following him every day, she was really afraid she wouldn’t be able to control herself.

Xu Zhenzhen was really thankful that her friend was wholeheartedly thinking about her career, but if she lost control and pounced on her Big Brother…

This bestie of mine, I don’t even know if we can still be besties.

Especially when she remembered that incident abroad… It gave her an even bigger headache.

Xu Zhenzhen slowly stood up and, seeing Lu Zhaozhao wink at her, had no choice but to leave with a stiff scalp.

The moment the office door closed, Xia Wenqing raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhaozhao, asking seemingly casually, “If you send your bestie to work under me, I won’t be soft on her, nor will I allow her to slack off fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, going out to meet boyfriends, you get it?”

Lu Zhaozhao immediately laughed, “Our Zhenzhen, aside from being interested in gossip, doesn’t have the opposite sex in her life, let alone a boyfriend. Her boyfriend might as well be her career…”

“That’s good,” Xia Wenqing said in an undisturbed tone, sighing in relief.

No boyfriend yet, then why did she rush back to the country?

Xia Wenqing originally wanted to ask Song Sinian for clarity, but that guy was only interested in Lu Zhaozhao, and probably wouldn’t get anything about other people’s affairs.

Instead, since Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen were close, he had to slowly infiltrate through his sister.

He had just heard that Xu Zhenzhen had come to the CEO’s office, but Song Sinian was in a meeting, so he guessed it was Lu Zhaozhao who had come.

He had wanted to take the opportunity to ask his sister about Xu Zhenzhen’s situation, but just as he got to the door, he overheard someone saying they were going abroad to become a princess.

His brain buzzed instantly, and he pushed the door open and walked in.

He didn’t expect that before he could say much, Lu Zhaozhao had hustled him into keeping the person close at hand.

Up to now, Xia Wenqing still felt a bit muddled.

He took a sip of tea leisurely before continuing, “I’ve brought the person for you, but if she can’t adapt to the intensity of work here…”

Lu Zhaozhao immediately winked at Xia Wenqing, “Don’t worry, if Zhenzhen can’t adapt, I’ll just secretly tell you, my second brother, and you can take special care of her, right~”

Because she was so comfortable with the Xia Family, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but act coyly towards Xia Wenqing.

But what she didn’t know was that her every move was exactly what Xia Wenqing was hoping for.

He nodded as if helplessly, but deep down, he despised himself for skillfully using Lu Zhaozhao to help with his plans.

But he had no other choice.

Last time, he didn’t have a strategy and thought letting things take their natural course was enough, but reality proved that things don’t always go as one wishes.

This time, he had to get things set in stone.

There could be absolutely no more errors…

Lu Zhaozhao, propping up her chin, drank her tea and couldn’t figure out why, but she always felt that Xia Wenqing looked a bit strange today.

As for what was strange, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it at the moment.

She just felt something was off.

Her gaze shifted up and down over Xia Wenqing, just as she tried to discern something from his face, when the voice of Xu Zhenzhen came from the doorway, “Manager Xia, I’ve finished talking with Secretary Hu, and he asked me to bring these documents over.”

When Xu Zhenzhen said this, she only poked her head in slowly, her gaze sweeping over Xia Wenqing’s face before moving away.

Lu Zhaozhao thought Xu Zhenzhen was scared of Xia Wenqing, so she whispered to him, “Second brother, could you be a bit warmer towards Zhenzhen? After all, she’s a girl, not one of your company’s steely…”

Xia Wenqing looked at Lu Zhaozhao fixedly for a moment, then his gaze shifted to the office door and he slowly stood up, “From now on, you follow Zhaozhao and call me second brother, let’s go now.”
