428: Madam has left

Madam has left

Secretary Lin felt even more aggrieved. Her expression was between laughter and tears. "I dressed up a bit because President Xi said yesterday that I should consider my personal issues. I was also thinking about it. As opposed to wasting time outside, perhaps there would be a few targets in the company. That's why I tried dressing up."

Ha. She said it so…

Xi Ting said, "That's enough. Secretary Lin, head back first."

Secretary Lin glanced at Qin Yan. It went without saying what this glance meant. The way she was behaving like the victor made Qin Yan feel frustrated.

Qin Yan looked at Xi Ting only after Secretary Lin went out, "As expected, you don't believe me."

Xi Ting frowned, "It's true that she's a bit more direct by nature. She was probably disrespectful towards you. I will let her know."

In M Nation, people dealt with others in a different manner than in C Nation. The people here placed work and efficiency above all else. They did not quite know how to speak to and deal with people. Because Xi Ting understood this, he felt that Secretary Lin might have offended Qin Yan for this reason. But Secretary Lin had always done a very good job in terms of work.

He felt that perhaps Qin Yan had gotten jealous because she was being too sensitive. It was fine to be jealous. Any woman would be jealous. He would cajole her and nothing would happen.

But Qin Yan could not be bothered to explain her point when she saw Xi Ting's hesitant expression. She merely released her hold on Xi Ting coolly and said, "That's enough. Rest up first. I heard you went to the hospital. Have a good rest. I'll go back and rest up too. I'm a bit tired."

"Cookie…"

"Let me be alone for a while. Thanks," Qin Yan said.

Although Xi Ting wanted to approach her, he did not follow her upon hearing that she wanted to be alone.

Qin Yan walked out. Outside, Secretary Lin looked at Qin Yan.

"Madam, are you leaving?"

Qin Yan smirked, "You acted quite well."

Secretary Lin snickered, "It looks like your relationship with President Xi isn't as good as the rumors say."

Inside, Qin Yan laughed grimly to herself.

Secretary Lin said, "Take care. I'll help you look after President Xi well."

Was this a provocation?

Qin Yan scoffed and walked out directly. Naturally, a fire was brewing inside her heart because it was obvious to her. But Xi Ting could not sense it.

She walked while cursing. That damn Xi Ting, Xi Ting! He was a block of wood. He was way too trusting of women! Did he not know that every woman was gifted in acting?

Qin Yan cursed him out all the way to the hotel. However, when she returned to the hotel and saw a call from Xi Ting, she did not pick up either. She left her phone there while seething in anger.

She thought that perhaps she had no reason to be angry. It was other people's prerogative to like Xi Ting. What did it have to do with Xi Ting? But she simply felt unhappy that Xi Ting had actually chosen to believe Secretary Lin and not her.

This was despite the fact that Xi Ting was probably a person who believed in evidence. She felt that he could not make a decision without evidence. It was also true that she did not have evidence. It had not occurred to her earlier that she should record Secretary Lin's words.

But she was still angry. Impotent rage kept rippling in her heart. At this moment, Xi Ting did not call again after the first time.

She tilted her body. Soon she saw Xi Chen walking towards her. Xi Ting had transferred Xi Chen to Qin Yan as her driver for time being. Qin Yan, seeing him, asked, "Where is Xi Ting?"

Xi Chen said, "Oh, Madam. I just found out that President Xi seems to have gone to the venue with someone for an inspection."

"With someone… with who?"

"It seems that he brought Secretary Lin along with him."

Hehe…

Qin Yan immediately stood up and said directly, "Since that's the case, we won't disturb his work anymore. Let's go first."

Xi Chen said in surprise, "Go, go where? Madam."

"For a stroll."

She headed straight out. The line of people, including Xi Chen didn't dare to say anything else. They could tell that she was unhappy and quickly trailed after her.

"Madam, tell us where you want to go. We'll go with you."

"Let's go for a drive."

"Yes."

Qin Yan had not really gone around M Nation either.

"I heard that there are many water towns in M nation. Let's drive over to the nearest water town and take a look," Qin Yan said.

It was true that Qin Yan had never gone to a water town.

She looked outside the window at the perfectly straight lanes that stretched neatly to the stockaded village ahead. They were in the throes of the tourist season and many people were there. Xi Chen drove the car slightly slower until they arrived at a local inn. After going in, they made arrangements to stay there.

Many of the inns were bursting with people. This inn was a bit more expensive. But Qin Yan did not care whether or not it was expensive. She merely wanted to find a relaxing place to stay. It just so happened that there were not many people staying here because it was too expensive, so it was much emptier.

After Qin Yan entered, she tidied her appearance and prepared to go out, pushing that damned Xi Ting to the very back of her mind.

Xi Ting was currently leaning backward. But he sensed that someone was making tea beside him. The moment he caught a whiff of that scent, he knew that it was not his cookie. At all times, the scent of Qin Yan's body was always faint. It was like the sweet smell of vanilla and not a fragrance like this that had the pervasive smell of cosmetic products. After smelling the scent on Qin Yan's body for a long time, he genuinely felt that any other smell seemed very pungent.

He turned around and saw Secretary Lin making tea behind him, "President Xi, take a break and have some tea," she smiled and spoke.

Xi Ting let out a hum of affirmation and said, "It's alright. You can go out."

Although he had thought that Qin Yan was a little sensitive this time, he instinctively felt uncomfortable when he looked at Secretary Lin again. He probably felt that she had caused his Yan Yan's unhappiness, which in turn made him unhappy.

Hearing this, Secretary Lin felt faintly disappointed, but still she turned around and walked out.

Before she had even gone out the door, a security guard walked straight in.

Secretary Lin said unhappily, "What are you doing? President Xi is taking a break. Why did you casually barge in?"

Recently, these security guards were becoming more and more unruly. They did not even knock on the door and came inside directly.

The security guard said, "It's regarding Madam. Move aside."

They had to report the first thing when it came to matters concerning Qin Yan, regardless of when it was or what Xi Ting was doing at the time. This was everyone's common understanding and Xi Ting had also implicitly permitted this.

He pushed Secretary Lin aside and walked inside directly, saying, "Sir, Madam left in a car."

Sure enough, Xi Ting immediately stood up. "What?"

"Xi Chen drove the car. Initially, they said she was going out for a spin. But in the end, they went all the way to the water town."

The water town was a place that many people went to during a vacation. It was extremely well-known in the M country and there were many people there.

Xi Ting immediately said, "Send people there to watch over her."

His eyes twitched and he planned to leave at once. He was also aware that Qin Yan had suddenly left this place probably because she was angry.

Secretary Lin found it strange. When she saw that Xi Ting was about to leave just like that, she momentarily felt a little anxious too.2

"President Xi, we haven't completed our work here. We can send people to look for Madam. Abandoning the work here now…" Secretary Lin said worriedly.

Xi Ting said, "We'll drop everything on hand first. It's fine for them to wait."

Secretary Lin asked, "What? But… isn't it better to finish things in one shot? Why should we waste even more time? Madam merely went off to relieve her boredom…"

Secretary Lin even wanted to stretch her arm out to block him.

Xi Ting's gaze suddenly hardened. With one arm, he shoved Secretary Lin aside directly.

Secretary Lin was stunned. 

Xi Ting's gaze met hers and became even sharper. He suddenly felt that something was off.
