Liu Shishi and her secretary followed Qian Yu, passing through unimpeded all the way to the twenty-fifth floor.
"Shishi, this is my office. Come in and have a seat."
Qian Yu, with a faint smile, pushed open the door to an office.
The spacious office was decorated with great taste. Behind an office desk, nearly two meters long, sat a boss's chair. Just looking at it exuded an imposing aura.
It had to be said that for a company that had just arrived, Tian Kun Group was certainly making a big splash.
"Right, Shishi, what would you like to drink?"
Qian Yu didn't sit in the boss's chair. Instead, he led Liu Shishi and her secretary to the sofas in the reception area in a corner of the office.
Liu Shishi was still a bit dazed. She never imagined that Qian Yu, her former university classmate, would now be a director at Tian Kun Group.
Back then, Qian Yu's grades were only average. Logically, for a powerful company like Tian Kun Group, even if he could get in, he would be lucky to be a team leader at best.
However, Liu Shishi obviously couldn't voice these thoughts.
Liu Shishi said, "I'll just have water."
As for the secretary, she waved her hand, indicating she didn't need anything.
Qian Yu gestured to his assistant, who had just followed them in, asking him to make a cup of coffee and pour a glass of warm water.
"Shishi, if I remember correctly, you went back to work for your family's company after graduation. How is it? Are you here this time to discuss some kind of cooperation with our company?"
Qian Yu never dreamed he would have the chance to be in the same room with Liu Shishi.
He remembered that back in school, although he had a secret crush on Liu Shishi and wanted to confess, she was like a goddess. Countless outstanding boys in school had confessed to her, but all were rejected.
Compared to those guys, Qian Yu was utterly unremarkable. So, until graduation, he could only admire the goddess from afar.
"Mm, it's just an initial inquiry. I just contacted Manager He from your market department, but he seems to be busy. We were planning to wait for him, and then we ran into you."
Liu Shishi felt a bit embarrassed to say that Liu's Group was being forced into a desperate situation, and she was approaching Tian Kun Group on a trial basis.
This wasn't due to her pride, but rather because she felt their relationship with Qian Yu was ordinary, and there was no need to explain everything so clearly.
"He Chao, is it? Alright, I'll contact him right away."
With that, Qian Yu took out his phone and made a call.
Liu Shishi wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but since Qian Yu had already dialed, she let him proceed.
"Alright, alright. Then I'll wait for you to arrive." After hanging up, Qian Yu said to Liu Shishi, "He Chao will be here soon after he finishes his current task."
"Qian Yu, thank you so much."
Liu Shishi expressed her gratitude.
Although they were classmates before, their relationship was quite ordinary. She hadn't expected to meet him today, and for him to proactively help her. Liu Shishi's thanks were heartfelt.
After that, the two began chatting about amusing incidents from their school days.
...
"Xiao Mu, where is Director Qian?"
Qian Yu's assistant was making coffee in the pantry when someone called out to him.
Turning around, he immediately bowed and said, "Director Zheng, Director Qian is in his office."
The person who stopped him was a woman. Her appearance was ordinary, but her attire and demeanor, from the inside out, exuded an extremely strong and assertive aura. Coupled with her stern expression, it made people feel even more in awe.
"Your Director Qian had a meeting today. He just called me saying he didn't go. Did something happen?"
The woman continued to ask.
Xiao Mu's expression hesitated as he thought about how to answer.
The woman immediately said coldly, "Speak. What happened?"
Seeing Director Zheng's expression change, Xiao Mu quickly recounted everything: Qian Yu had met a classmate, changed his meeting schedule, and was now talking to the classmate in his office.
After he finished, Xiao Mu wanted to secretly glance at Director Zheng's expression. To his surprise, she simply turned around and left, her high heels clicking on the floor.
At that moment, the coffee machine indicated the coffee was ready. Xiao Mu poured a cup of coffee and, carrying the freshly poured water, walked towards Qian Yu's office.
"I also remember that statistics teacher. One time, his wig fell off during class, and everyone laughed their heads off, haha."
Qian Yu and Liu Shishi were in the middle of an engaging conversation when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
He thought it was his assistant, Xiao Mu, so he said without turning his head, "Why did it take so long? Hurry up and bring the water to Shishi."
"Hmph! Qian Yu, you scoundrel! You're having another woman in the company? Do you have any regard for me?"
The woman, whom Xiao Mu referred to as Director Zheng, strode to the reception area in a few steps, looking down at Qian Yu with a face full of fury.
Upon seeing her, Qian Yu's expression immediately turned panicked, and he stood up.
"Zheng Li? Are you Zheng Li?"
Liu Shishi looked at the woman who had just entered. She seemed somewhat familiar. After a closer look, she realized the woman was actually Zheng Li, her university classmate.
Running into two university classmates at Tian Kun Group on the same day was too much of a coincidence.
"Liu Shishi?"
Zheng Li had been too busy interrogating Qian Yu to notice anyone else.
Now, hearing her name called, she looked up and saw Liu Shishi. Her face immediately changed.
Following that, Zheng Li pointed directly at Qian Yu and said, "I knew you scoundrel wouldn't go to the meeting! So, you were here accompanying your sweetheart, huh? Qian Yu, after all these years, you still can't forget her. You're quite something!"
"Zheng Li, have you misunderstood? Qian Yu and I just happened to meet downstairs, and he..."
Hearing Zheng Li's words, Liu Shishi immediately frowned. Sweetheart? Unforgettable? She had absolutely no relationship with Qian Yu.
Zheng Li sneered, "School beauty Liu, you probably don't know, but back in school, many people had crushes on you, and Qian Yu was one of them. Am I right, Qian Yu?"
"Zheng Li, stop talking. That's all in the past."
Qian Yu, who had been flustered at first, was now feeling awkward.
After all, anyone would feel this way if their past was brought up in public after many years.
"You don't want me to say it? But I will! Qian Yu! If it weren't for my dad these past few years, could you have reached your current position? I thought that after we got together, you would treat me well. But now, running into Liu Shishi, that vixen, has made your heart flutter again, hasn't it?"
"Qian Yu! I'm telling you, I could elevate you to this position, and I can also ruin you! Don't push me!"
"As for Liu Shishi, you vixen, get out of here immediately! Get out!"
Zheng Li's voice grew louder and sharper.
She first pointed at Qian Yu, scolding him loudly, and then turned to Liu Shishi, roaring at her.
