Chapter 350: Chapter 350: I’ll Go Downstairs to Pick Her Up

People were coming and going.

Needless to say, the water room was even busier.

Shen Yanqing went to the staircase, only to run into a couple in love!

Shen Yanqing sighed, hurried out, and headed to the company’s garden at the back.

The garden was rather large, and since most of the colleagues who smoked went to the rooftop, not many went to the garden.

With plenty of space in the garden, Shen Yanqing quickly found a secluded spot and made a call to Yu Zeqin while hiding behind a tree.

He didn’t call Zhou Shuyan directly, fearing that if someone was nearby, they’d overhear and blow his cover.

"Hello," came Yu Zeqin’s voice from the phone.

"The CEO’s wife is here," Shen Yanqing said. "She even mentioned she wanted to see the CEO."

"What?" Yu Zeqin’s typically impassive face couldn’t be maintained any longer, and he was clearly unsettled.

"Her exact words were that she had come several times without the chance to see Brother Zhou, so this time she might as well visit," Shen Yanqing covered his mouth, looking around like a thief before continuing, "I have no idea what the CEO told his wife before, but you better tell him to come up with a plan."

Shen Yanqing indicated that was all the help he could offer.

"I got it," Yu Zeqin hung up quickly and rushed to inform Zhou Shuyan.

Shen Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, having at least passed on the message.

He quickly started back.

Who would have thought, after just a few steps, he’d see Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi standing next to a tree with an innocent look and a completely clueless expression on their faces?

Shen Yanqing: "!!"

Did these two overhear his conversation?

But then he thought that he had been speaking very softly and even covered his mouth while talking.

The outdoors was vast; unlike speaking quietly indoors, it was unlikely for someone to overhear.

So, Shen Yanqing told himself not to be nervous while calmly asking, "What are you two doing here?"

"We don’t know either," Pei Jingyuan replied with an innocent face.

Shen Yanqing: "..."

If you don’t know, then what are you here for?

"The boss said you had been gone for a while and asked us to look for you," Ji Deyi explained with a smile.

They were supposed to let Shen Yanqing know once they found her.

Upon finding her, but seeing Shen Yanqing on the phone, they decided it was inappropriate to approach and just waited there instead.

Shen Yanqing: "!!"

"Then the CEO..." In his nervousness, Shen Yanqing almost slipped up, "Where’s your boss now?"

"She went to find Brother Zhou," Pei Jingyuan explained carelessly, "Since she couldn’t wait for you, she went ahead to find Brother Zhou."

"It’s okay, the boss didn’t come for anything special today anyway; it’s mainly to check on Brother Zhou," Ji Deyi unwittingly spoke words that sent Shen Yanqing’s heart racing.

"You two... When did the boss leave?" Shen Yanqing asked, now visibly anxious.

Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi didn’t understand why Shen Yanqing was so anxious but still repeated what Lu Youxi had told them: "She just left not long ago."

In fact, Lu Youxi had already been gone for quite a while and probably had already met with Brother Zhou.

Neither of them knew why Lu Youxi wanted them to lie to Shen Yanqing.

Could it be that Shen Yanqing had offended Lu Youxi without realizing it?

Both shivered in unison.

Scary!

"You two head to my office to wait, I’ll be right back," Shen Yanqing said and then took off running.

Pei Jingyuan watched Shen Yanqing’s retreating figure running at full speed for a while, then turned, puzzled, to Ji Deyi and said, "Didn’t Manager Shen say the same thing earlier?"

"Yes, and we’ve been waiting for quite a while without seeing him return," Ji Deyi nodded.

"I don’t know what’s going on with Manager Shen today," Pei Jingyuan scratched his head.

"Let’s go, we might as well wait in the office; it’s quite cold outside." Ji Deyi wrapped his coat tighter, shivered, and continued walking forward.

Shen Yanqing now couldn’t care less if his phone conversation was overheard.

While running, he panted as he dialed Yu Zeqin’s number.

Yu Zeqin had just picked up, not even having a chance to speak, when Shen Yanqing blurted out, "The CEO’s wife has already gone over!"

"I know," Yu Zeqin hurriedly hung up the phone.

Yu Zeqin went to tell Zhou Shuyan, who thought for a moment and said, "Don’t panic, let it be."

"CEO?"

"I’ve never been able to find the right moment to explain; might as well do it today." Zhou Shuyan actually suspected that Lu Youxi might already know something.

Afterward, Zhou Shuyan stood up and left the office.

Yu Zeqin wondered if Zhou Shuyan wasn’t hiding anymore.

Where was he going now?

"When the lady comes, I certainly can’t sit around in the office like a lord," Zhou Shuyan walked out of the office and even continued toward the elevator doors, "I’ll go downstairs to meet her."

Yu Zeqin: "..."

You still will meet her after all.

Entering the elevator, the wall behind the elevator just so happened to be mirrored.

Zhou Shuyan turned to face the mirror and checked his appearance.

Nothing was amiss, but he still nervously adjusted his tie and suit, ensuring he looked very presentable before he took a deep breath and turned back to face the elevator doors.

Watching the elevator floor indicator decrease number by number, Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but wonder why he had never realized their company’s elevator was so fast.

Zhou Shuyan thought he wasn’t ready yet, but the elevator had already reached the first floor.

He could only take a deep breath and step out.

Suddenly seeing Zhou Shuyan coming down, the passing employees successively greeted him, "CEO."

Zhou Shuyan nodded faintly and waited at the entrance of Building A.

Lu Youxi should be arriving soon.

"You go back," Zhou Shuyan told Yu Zeqin.

It wouldn’t be good for Yu Zeqin to hang around while he was admitting his wrongs.

"Yes," Yu Zeqin answered and quickly left.

He didn’t want to witness the scene of the CEO being scolded by the CEO’s wife like a grandchild.

Imagine the injustice if the CEO remembered to dock his bonus later.

Yu Zeqin hurried, fearing he wasn’t moving away quickly enough as even seeing Lu Youxi’s face from afar was a dereliction of duty on his part as an assistant.

Thus, Chengzhou’s employees, for the first time, witnessed the usually steady and strong Yu Zeqin—legendary assistant who seemed never to be stumped by any work—taking large and quick steps through the lobby.

Seeing he was about to reach the elevator, he even started to run.

Everyone: "..."

Had something serious happened at Chengzhou?

Not until he entered the elevator and had not seen Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan meet did Yu Zeqin finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just after Yu Zeqin got on the elevator, Zhou Shuyan, standing at the doorway, saw Lu Youxi approaching from a distance.

Lu Youxi’s face was expressionless; he couldn’t discern what Lu Youxi’s mood was at the moment.

Lu Youxi walked, and from a distance, saw Zhou Shuyan standing at the company entrance.
