Marry Me Quick

Chapter 57

Wednesday finally came.

“You’ve prepared the documents, haven’t you?”

Su Ziyue lined up the stack of documents in her hands before carefully placing them into a folder and turned to ask An Xia.

An Xia raised her head to look at her. “I’ve got them all here.”

“Great, let’s get ready to head out.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Su Ziyue grabbed her coat and took the lead. However, she suddenly remembered that she had nearly forgotten something important when they reached the lobby.

“Give me a moment. I’m going to make a phone call.” After informing An Xia, she stepped aside to give Su Yige a call.

The call connected and Su Ziyue cut straight to the chase. “I’m going to LK Group now to discuss the contract; you can come if you want to.”

With that, Su Ziyue hung up the phone. She then walked back and wrapped an arm around An Xia’s shoulders. “Let’s go.”

Su Ziyue drove to the place with An Xia in tow; they had just gotten out of the car park when she saw

Su Yige’s car already parked there.

“What’s she doing here?” An Xia turned to ask Su Ziyue after catching sight of Su Yige as well.

“She’s coming with us to LK Group to discuss the contract.” Su Ziyue’s smile was indiscernible.

“Just how thick-skinned is she? The boss—Mr. Qin himself—is already married to you, and yet she’s just barging in like this. I want to punch that insufferable face of hers so badly…”

...

Su Ziyue’s car was a plain Buick.

She had spent 100,000 bucks on it when she had just returned to the country. The money she used to buy the car was from her part-time earnings and savings from being conscientious about her daily expenses.

Although her car was new, her Buick looked very shabby next to Su Yige’s Audi.

Su Yige poked her head out of the window; upon catching sight of the car, a seemingly mocking smile crept into her eyes.

Since there were other people present, she still had to put on a polite and caring facade and smiled at Su Ziyue. “Let’s take my car. It’ll be troublesome to take two cars to LK Group when it’s just the three of us.”

Before Su Ziyue could speak, An Xia had already beaten her to the chase. “Director, you’re too kind, but Miss Su and I don’t think it’s troublesome at all to drive to LK Group with her car.”

She was implying that Su Yige was the actual troublesome aspect here.

Su Yige stiffened. How dare a lowly employee mock her?

Even so, her expression did not change. “Ziyue, your assistant is rather interesting.”

“Frankly speaking, that’s true. The chairman of LK Group also thinks that my assistant is fascinating; I wonder if he’ll find you interesting too.”

With that, Su Ziyue took the lead and drove ahead of Su Yige.

Su Yige gritted her teeth. The woman with the tainted reputation was merely a lowly employee that she could easily put down with just a flick of her finger.

The chairman of LK Group had simply never met her; if he were to meet her, he would know that she was more suited to discuss this contract than Su Ziyue was.

...

Soon, they arrived at LK Group; Su Ziyue and An Xia entered the building.

The receptionist seemed to have remembered Su Ziyue as she smiled upon seeing her. “Miss Su.”

“Nice to see you.” She gave a polite reply before heading off to look for Qin Muchen with practiced

familiarity.

Su Ziyue and An Xia were about to enter the elevator when Su Yige finally caught up from behind.

“Hi there, I’m here with them to negotiate a contract. I’m the project director of Su Group, Su Yige.”

Caring very much about appearances, Su Yige immediately announced her status to the receptionist.

However, the receptionist replied politely, “Nice to meet you, Miss Su. What business do you have here today?”

Su Yige’s expression remained unchanged. “I’m here to negotiate a contract.”

“I’m sorry, but I will have to call up the secretarial office to double-check on this. I’d like to ask who you’ll be meeting today? What time is the appointment supposed to take place?”

The receptionist picked up the phone and looked at her.

At last, an almost imperceptible change occurred in Su Yige’s expression.

She had been very clear that she was with Su Ziyue and An Xia to discuss a contract with LK Group. However, this receptionist was deliberately misinterpreting her words.

She immediately looked for a way out so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself too much. “I’m sorry, I just remembered that I haven’t brought a particular document. I’ll come back another day, thank you.”

The receptionist’s smile was sweet. “See you, Miss Su!”

...

Su Ziyue and An Xia stepped into the elevator right as Su Yige left.

An Xia asked Su Ziyue curiously, “How did you know the receptionist wouldn’t let her in?”

“I have no idea.” Su Ziyue laughed innocently and continued, “I thought that Qin Muchen would just simply ignore her, but who would have thought that she couldn’t even get past LK Group’s entrance? I might have overestimated her.”

Su Ziyue truly hadn’t thought that the receptionist would bar Su Yige from entering.

Evidently, an employer’s ways were reflected in their employees.

She couldn’t help but think about the receptionists from the three companies that she had been to recently.

The receptionist from Soaring Sky Technologies may be a little of a drama-monger, but the receptionist still knew about boundaries; the receptionist from Su Group was practically garbage.

As for LK Group’s receptionist, she was similar to Qin Muchen in terms of how she did things by the book—they were truly alike.

At that thought, Su Ziyue couldn’t help but press her lips together and smile.

An Xia eyed her. “The weather’s cooling down already. What’s that expression? Are you horny?”

“You’re the one who’s horny.”

The elevator reached their destination just as Su Ziyue pressed down hard on An Xia’s forehead before stepping out.

“You’re here, Miss Su. The chairman is waiting in his office, so I’ll bring you over.” Qin Muchen’s secretary smiled and greeted Su Ziyue upon seeing her.

“Thank you.”

Su Ziyue and An Xia followed her.

The secretary brought the two of them inside the office and announced respectfully, “Chairman, Miss Su and Miss Xia have arrived.”

Qin Muchen did not look up from his documents and simply made a noise of affirmation.

“Please take a seat here. The chairman has only been here for a few days, so he still has plenty of matters to settle; I ask for your patience.”

Even though the secretary could tell that Su Ziyue did not have a regular relationship with Qin Muchen, this information hadn’t been revealed to the public at all. Therefore, she still had to say and do everything by the book as a worker.

After the secretary had served them some water, she turned and left.

A few minutes later, Qin Muchen finally got up and walked over. A dark gleam flashed across his eyes when his gaze fell upon Su Ziyue.

Today, she was dressed in a business outfit consisting of a short blouse and a tight skirt.

The black outfit perfectly outlined the curves of her body, and her waist was so slender that one could almost reach out and snap it with a hand; her snow-white legs were also entrancing.

Qin Muchen felt his mouth go dry. He reached up to loosen his tie before sitting down across them.

“Let us begin. You only have an hour.”

Su Ziyue looked up and glanced at him.

He explained, “I have too many things to do, so I need to use my time wisely.”

Su Ziyue had nearly forgotten that he was actually very busy as the chairman of LK Group.

She did not make idle chat and began to pick up from where her previous negotiations had left off.

She had gone back and done her homework thoroughly because of Qin Muchen’s words last time; she felt that she could now stand with her head held high in front of him.

This time, the discussion went by quickly; Qin Muchen did not speak much the entire time.

Once it had ended, he gave her a short and simple review. “You’ve improved a little.”

Su Ziyue pressed her lips together, trying to mask the bit of excitement bubbling in her when she heard Qin Muchen say, “However, according to my standards, you still have a long way to go.
