Qiao Wei asked the shy boy to go to the bar next door, taking out her company’s works, she looked serious and earnest, with the superior’s aura, making the boy in front of her didn’t dare to say anything, his legs were shaking.
‘We are all classmates, is there a need to be so serious to have a meal?’
”Classmate Qiao Wei, give me a chance,” for the sake of the Goddess in his heart, the boy hard carried the stern gaze from Qiao Wei and spoke, “I really like Yun Xin, and I’m not forcing Yun Xin to reply, I just want to have a chance to get to know each other…”
Qiao Wei raised an eyebrow and listened to the boy in front of her saying blah blah blah, slouching on the couch, fingers clicking on the table. The very rhythmic sound of the tapping on the table was as if it was tapping someone’s heart. The boy topped talking.
Qiao Wei looked at him with a smile, “Do you like Ah Xin?”
”Yeah, I like her.” The boy replied quickly.
The corner of Qiao Wei’s lips quirked, “How was your major?”
”It’s… okay.”
”Ah Xin got almost a perfect score in her major.” Actually it could be perfect, right, Ah Xin had been letting her stay in first place.
He… He knew that, it was his Goddess after all.
”Have you considered anything else besides taking your classes?”
‘What?’
The boy was a little confused, and then he got the biggest shock from Qiao Wei since he’d been in college.
”You’re not going to hang around inside college, play games, find a pretty girlfriend, hold hands… waiting until graduate, then went to your own separate ways, that’s how you are thinking to do in the future, right?”
”You look like you never think about your future at all.”
Boy: “…” ‘Isn’t that what all people do?’
Qiao Wei lowered her head and smiled, “Currently, Ah Xin will come to work with me if she has no class, before she graduates, with her salary she should be able to buy a three-bedroom apartment in the city.”
The boy’s grip on the glass of water tightened as he continued to listen to Qiao Wei, “This is just a preliminary budget, Ah Xin is excellent and will go abroad for further studies in the future. She will become the backbone of the company.”
Qiao Wei’s face showed contempt, as if saying, ‘Why would Ah Xin choose a young boy like you who is bumbling around and not planning for the future.’
The boy lowered his head somewhat in shame, ‘The Goddess is really excellent.’
”What else do you want to say?”
”I…” the boy plucked up his courage, “I’m never playing games again, and I’m not going to hang out every day, starting today, I will work hard, and when became better, I’ll come back and ask Yun Xin out again.”
Qiao Wei watched the boy leave and said, “Not in this lifetime.” ‘Dude, you have no chance.’
’I will take over Qiao’s after graduation, and Qiao’s will only get bigger and bigger, little boys and whatever, haha… I need to cool down.’ Qiao Wei was standing at the entrance of the bar, looking a little cold, Ah Xin was being covered up so tightly by her, yet someone found out about her beauty.
”Ah Xin, let’s finish this semester’s classes early, then we’ll have more time to go to the office, what do you think?” Qiao Wei hugged Ah Xin’s arm with her eyes wide open, “My dad looks so bitter lately, I want to help him out more.”
If she went to the office every day, the little boys at school wouldn’t notice her Ah Xin, haha, this reason was really great.
As expected, Ah Xin didn’t hesitate to say yes. Qiao Wei couldn’t stop smiling, “Ah Xin, you’re really nice.” ‘Why is she so good, so good that I couldn’t let go of her at all?’
”How about… We spend some time and take all the college courses?”
Ah Xin also thought about it,with Qiao Wei’s current situation, it would be a bit of a waste for her to attend classes on a regular basis like a normal college student. Qiao Wei wanted to quickly take over Qiao’s company, since Qiao Wei wanted to do this, of course she would help her.
Qiao Wei nearly jumped up and kissed Ah Xin, ‘Ah, this proposal is really too great, Ah Xin really understands me.’
”Okay, okay…”
For the next year, the two of them were very busy, going to work in the company and studying university courses, they were basically inseparable, no one else could even step in between.
Boys who liked Qiao Wei would always be hit back by her domineering and flamboyant personality, and those who wanted to pursue Ah Xin would be secretly dispatched by Qiao Wei.
Often times, the school would see a scene where the two of them would appear, and there would always be some guys who would secretly watch, then remember Qiao Wei’s blow, look at each other, and choose to remain silent.
Goddesses were too good, they were too afraid to chase.
These days, if you wanted to chase a Goddess, you had to improve yourself first, and if you weren’t good enough, you aren’t qualified to chase her.
In a year or so, Qiao Wei and Ah Xin had finished their college courses, and they officially entered Qiao’s. Qiao Wei started as a supervisor, because she had worked in Qiao’s from a long time ago, she handled all these businesses very easily.
Ah Xin, who was always by her side, was still by her side. Obviously she was a ridiculously good person, full of talent, but she was only willing to be her assistant.
Ah Xin, who had changed her school uniform and put on her professional clothes, still had the same hairstyle, and her glasses were still black-framed, and to outsiders, she looked like a stiff and serious type. Her smile was so small, almost only noticed by Qiao Wei
Qiao Wei didn’t ask Ah Xin use her own talents this time, she selfishly wanted to hide her.
As Qiao Wei’s position got higher, after taking over Qiao’s, Ah Xin was her first secretary and would be respectfully referred to as Secretary Yun. Everyone knew that Secretary Yun was a woman of few words, serious in her work, obviously she was stiff looking, yet her voice was gentle.
But on the surface, everyone would think that this Secretary Yun wasn’t easy to get along with, and only Qiao’s employees understood that the people who weren’t easy to get along with was obviously their Qiao’s President, Qiao Wei. Whenever President Qiao was angry, the whole company would have to work overtime.
No one dared to raise their head at all when the president was scolding someone, but there was only one person who could calm the President Qiao’s anger with a look or a word, and would make President Qiao smile. Qiao’s employees understood that Secretary Yun was the one who was hiding deeply, so no wonder she was the President Qiao’s first secretary.
”Secretary Yun, I really thanked you last time, let me buy you dinner after work.” The new girl in the company looked thankful, she was inexperienced, if it wasn’t for Secretary Yun discovering it in time, it would have definitely caused damage to the company. She didn’t know what she would face by then.
Ah Xin gently shook her head and refused, “No.”
”Hey… do you have a date tonight?” The little girl asked curiously, “Secretary Yun, do you have a boyfriend?”
’A person as gentle as Secretary Yun should have a boyfriend, right? Ah, I really envy Secretary Yun’s boyfriend, he can actually find someone as nice as Secretary Yun.’
The others in the office shook their heads when they saw the little girl looking at Ah Xin with stars in her eyes, and silently lit a candle[1] for the little girl, praying that the other party’s eagerness for Secretary Yun wouldn’t be discovered by President Qiao.
”Little Chen, did I hire you to inquire about Secretary Yun’s privacy?”
Somebody has come, it was Qiao Wei’s voice, and the rest of the employees cringed and pretended to stare at the computer, like, ‘I’m so serious, I hear and see nothing.’
Qiao Wei came out of her office and sternly swiped at the younger girl, her brow furrowed slightly, “You really don’t have enough personal skills, I’m going to…”
”Miss Qiao, I was wrong. Don’t fire me!” The little girl cried in shock, and looked at Qiao Wei with red eyes, and sobbed, and others took some pity on her, see, I told you not to be caught fawning over Secretary Yun by President Qiao.
Ah Xin walked back to Qiao Wei, “Newcomers are inevitably inexperienced, Qiao Wei, don’t be so serious. You’ve scared off the little girl into crying, and no one will want to work for you later.”
”I’m just telling her to go down there and get some exercise and come back after a while.” Qiao Wei lifted her chin, “It’s not like I’m going to fire her, it’s not easy to choose an assistant who’s good in every way.” If she had to choose someone again, it would be tiring for her Ah Xin, so she’d barely did it.
Hearing that she wouldn’t be fired, the little girl’s cries stopped, and she gratefully looked at Ah Xin, ‘Mom, President Qiao really is as scary as the legend said, fortunately there is the gentle Secretary Yun to save me.’
Qiao Wei was in a very good mood as she successfully deterred the new assistant, and said to Ah Xin with a serious expression, “Secretary Yun, I have something to tell you. Come in.”
As soon as she entered the office and closed the door, Qiao Wei put on a bright smile and hurried over to grab Ah Xin, “Ah Xin, it’s almost time to get off work. Where are we going to eat?”
”You aren’t allowed to say we’re eating it at home.” Qiao Wei quickly paused, “Although Ah Xin’s cooking is delicious, you’re so busy right now, working during the day and you have cook when you’re off work, it’s too tiring, let’s go out to eat, I have a lot of money now, I could change the chef every day to cook for us.”
Ah Xin was amused by Qiao Wei’s two-faced look and smiled lightly, “Okay, WeiWei, you choose the place.”
”Okay, then I’ll do it.” Qiao Wei was contentedly picking the place to eat, her remaining eyes scanning for Ah Xin who was sitting on the side reading documents.
Everyone said that she, Qiao Wei was a business genius, since taking over Qiao’s, Qiao’s was steadily developing and was made many times bigger by her, and according to this, making Qiao’s as the number one in the country and expanding the market out of the country wasn’t impossible.
Qiao Wei wanted to laugh at those people’s ignorance, the most powerful one was actually the one who was always by her side, dressed in old-fashioned clothes and liked to wear the black framed glasses, everyone called her Secretary Yun. Just by moving her fingers, countless perfect solutions will appear.
This person, who was really as good as ever, was partial to making great results, and was only willing to take on the title of a secretary.
’Ah Xin, why do you do all this without seeking fame or profit?’
Qiao Wei looked at the earnest woman, she simply couldn’t take her eyes off of her, unaware that she was looking at her crazily. Qiao Wei originally thought that she would be able to hold on to this person if she became Qiao’s owner, but she never thought that she know the depth of the other person, she only saw the tip of the iceberg, yet it was the tip of the iceberg that had made her unable to get out.
’This woman, really has fascinated me too much.’
’Wait a little longer, until I become the richest woman in the country.’ Qiao Wei took a deep breath, she’s going to try a little harder.
Seven years later.
Not only had Qiao Wei become the richest person in the country, her Qiao Family had also entered the world ranking, and Qiao Family was preparing to relocate back to the capital city.
It had been more than ten years since she left the capital city, and during that time, Qiao Wei had barely stayed in the city except to talk about business. But she always remembered that more than a decade ago, when she was in her first year of high school and the Qiao family went bankrupt, she nearly jumped off the school’s rooftop, yet a pair of warm hands grabbed her and gave her a new life.
While Qiao’s management was busy with Qiao’s. Qiao Wei walked into their high school with Ah Xin on her arm, they came to the rooftop where she almost jumped off, and now they were standing here in a different mood.
Suddenly, Qiao Wei laughed out loud.
”I realized that I was so stupid before, I was busy thinking for a Ji Jiang, now I forgot why I had targeted Lin Xiaoai, was it because I particularly like Ji Jiang, or was it because I’m unhappy that my boyfriend was taken.”
The Ji family and the Qiao family were friends, her relationship with Ji Jiang could be said to have been intentionally made, and now that she thought about it, she didn’t really like Ji Jiang much, she guessed it was just her childish mentality of dominating toys.
”There’s less homework nowadays.” Ah Xin said, “Teachers would have no time if they assign more homework.”
Qiao Wei remembered that no matter where she went or what she did, Ah Xin would never forget to put their exercise books in her bag. After finishing one, a new one would appear the next day. Until this day, the toxic words still flashed in her head, “Classmate Qiao Wei, you still have one more exercise book to do.”
At that time, she was playing in the computer room, she clearly remembered that she had finished all the exercise books, but when she saw Ah Xin take out a new one, she said, “You still have one more exercise book to do.” She was a little bit desperate when she heard Ah Xin’s words. Now when she heard Xin’s words ‘less homework’, she thought deeply about it.
If it wasn’t for that one more exercise book, she really wouldn’t have been able to get high score, and it could be said that what had supported her during that difficult time was Ah Xin and her exercise books.
”Lin Xiaoai and Ji Jiang got married right after graduation,”
Qiao Wei said, “Unfortunately it wasn’t the beautiful life of the prince and Cinderella, the prince later realized he should marry a noble princess and Cinderella has discovered that the prince has changed his mind, the humble woman couldn’t fit in with his family and yet try to push her way in, ike a ship adrift at sea. A small boat that could be overturned by a wave at any moment.”
”Does Weiwei not like Ji Jiang anymore?”
”I don’t like him since a long time ago.” Qiao Wei said without a good look, her eyes on Ah Xin’s face and her voice lowered, “I didn’t like him back then.” And it wasn’t even called liking.
She suddenly remembered that Ah Xin had said that she hated Lin Xiaoai, and it had something to do with Ji Jiang, which made her stammer a bit asking, “Ah Xin, you don’t like Ji Jiang, right?”
”What?” Ah Xin was stunned for a moment, then remembering that reason from before, she smiled lowly and said, “I never like him.”
”Really?”
Qiao Wei was surprised and asked, “Then why are you helping me without any return? We don’t have a common enemy, so why are you helping me?”
