Invincible Young Master in the City

Chapter 2037: A Dialogue Between a Supervisor and a Subordinate

"Ye Fan, why are you so impatient? You wish to win my favor like this, how is that possible? Hmph, Ye Fan simply wants me to look down on him, is there anyone in the world more irresponsible than him!" Zhao Lina was very angry, not only because of Ye Fan’s unexplained departure, but also because Ye Fan didn’t give her an explanation.

She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, a coldness that resulted from a lack of care.

Just then, Zhao Lina’s phone rang. She picked it up and heard Wang Qin’s voice from the other end: "Director Zhao, is everything alright? You just left like that, what if that person means you harm?"

"I’m fine." Zhao Lina’s voice sounded feeble.

"Director Zhao, where are you now? I’ll come over right away; we can’t let anyone harm you!" Wang Qin said.

Zhao Lina replied angrily: "I told you not to worry about me. Haven’t you already gone to bed? Why are you still wasting words..."

At this moment, she seemed to realize that talking to a young junior like this was not appropriate, and she shouldn’t vent her dissatisfaction on this little girl. She sighed and said, "I’m fine. I’m heading home now; just wait for me there for a while!"

With that, Zhao Lina hung up the phone, collected herself, and went home.

Upon reaching her door, she barely wanted to step inside, but Wang Qin’s voice quickly emerged from within, the door creaked open, and Wang Qin looked at her expectantly: "Director Zhao, are you alright? Did that person... leave?"

"He left, is that answer satisfactory to you?" Zhao Lina glanced at Wang Qin, then sighed and said, "I was just meeting a friend, does that need you to worry so much about me?"

"Director Zhao, you’re my leader, everything I have depends on you, so of course I care about you." Wang Qin said with a hint of relief, "It’s good that he left, he didn’t seem like a good person, it seemed Director Zhao didn’t want to see him either, he stubbornly insisted on coming, what’s his relationship with... you, Director Zhao?"

"Let’s talk inside!" Zhao Lina said.

The two of them entered the living room and sat on the sofa. Zhao Lina said helplessly, "Actually, that person is Ye Fan, Deputy Director Ye, I’m sure you’ve heard his name before?"

"So he is Deputy Director Ye, there’s no one in our office who hasn’t heard his name, he’s quite the figure. When I first came, people would talk about Deputy Director Ye’s stories every day, I could recite his accomplishments by heart." Wang Qin’s eyes were filled with admiration, "But the person I saw looked indifferent, not friendly at all, his attitude was bad, he didn’t seem like a big figure at all." After saying this, the light in Wang Qin’s eyes dimmed.

"What do you think a big figure looks like? Am I not a big figure?" Zhao Lina was amused by this little girl, who seemed naive, making Zhao Lina find her cute, like a big sister who needs to guide her.

"You’re also a big figure, Director Zhao. Haha, I’m not flattering you; I think people in your position must have outstanding abilities to get promoted. Otherwise, why would you get promoted among so many people in the office?" Wang Qin was quite clever, her praise made Zhao Lina elated, completely forgetting the earlier unhappiness.

"You really know how to compliment people; with what you said, I really think I’m quite impressive." Zhao Lina looked at Wang Qin, feeling that this girl is good at interacting with people, patient, and articulate, she’s definitely not an ordinary person in the future.

"Deputy Director Ye defies my imagination. I always thought Deputy Director Ye would be gentle, treating junior colleagues kindly," Wang Qin paused, "At first glance, he should be dignified, wearing a suit and shiny shoes, a middle-aged man." Wang Qin laughed heartily, amused by her own adorable thoughts.

"What you described sounds like a middle-aged uncle; Ye Fan isn’t as old as you say. He’s capable and often promoted by the office because he does what others can’t, constantly mentioned by everyone. You’re still young, there’s much to learn." Zhao Lina adopted the stance of a big sister, lecturing the young one.

"Director Zhao, it seems you’re familiar with Deputy Director Ye, are you good friends privately?" Wang Qin blinked, seemingly eager to know more about Ye Fan.

Zhao Lina hesitated for a moment, contemplating what to say and what not to say. Since they’re colleagues, some words need careful consideration. "Yes, Ye Fan sometimes visits me; naturally, we’re familiar over time, especially since he hasn’t been in the office, visiting is normal."

"You must trust Deputy Director Ye a lot, or you wouldn’t give him the key to your home. When he came in, he startled me; I thought it was a thief." Wang Qin said.

Zhao Lina was startled; thankfully, Wang Qin didn’t see Ye Fan passing through walls, otherwise, knowing about the cultivation would ruin things. She assumed Ye Fan opened the door himself; it’s better to let her think like that, there’s no way to make excuses for Ye Fan.

Wang Qin seemed unaware of what she’d said and continued, "Director Zhao, Deputy Director Ye is so amazing and handsome. Do you like him?" The little girl smiled cunningly.

"Curiosity killed the cat, stop asking adult matters. Pretend you don’t know about today’s events; a place with many people and gossip breeds trouble. Don’t say anything in the office tomorrow." Zhao Lina felt it necessary to remind this little girl to avoid trouble for herself, unsure when she’d next see Ye Fan, and their feelings couldn’t come to light.

"Of course I know not to say anything, but I’m still curious how you big figures communicate. Someone as excellent as Deputy Director Ye; I really admire him. Dating such a figure would make any woman envious." Wang Qin’s eyes started sparkling again.

"You should know big figures aren’t short on women. Plenty of women vie for their attention, it’s not as simple as you think. Constantly worrying about your boyfriend being taken is a bitter feeling too." Zhao Lina felt she should give her a reality check, preventing her from daydreaming and possibly following in her footsteps.

"Director Zhao, you wouldn’t..."

Wang Qin stopped speaking, realizing her question seemed a bit too awkward.

If Zhao Lina were to compete for a man, it would ruin her reputation if such a thing got out, which must not happen.
