President, please comfort me.

Upon hearing that she wanted to go upstairs, Xiao He was unwilling to let her go. He stared intently at Wen Qi and leaned closer, saying, "I shouldn't have hit Yang Xu. I'll apologize to him tomorrow, okay?"

There aren't many people that Xiao He can take to heart, and Yang Xu's name has been on his mind for a long time recently.

Seeing that Wen Qi didn't react, he said again, "Don't be angry, have a small cake, we have durian and taro cakes."

Fortunately, Ah Chen occasionally talked to Xiao He about girly things, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say to comfort Wen Qi at this moment.

Wen Qi frowned, about to speak, when a familiar ringtone sounded; Tang Hui had made a video call.

Wen Qi hurriedly pushed Xiao He away, got off the table, secretly wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and then answered the phone with her back to Xiao He, calling out, "Mom."

Across from her, Tang Huici, with her kind eyes, noticed Wen Qi's background in the restaurant and assumed she hadn't eaten yet. She asked with concern, "Xiao Qi, haven't you eaten yet? Why are you still in the restaurant so late?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He immediately stepped forward and affectionately joined Wen Qi in the frame: "We've eaten. We bought some desserts for Xiao Qi, and we're just about to eat them."

Tang Hui was overjoyed to hear this. Her son, who had always been aloof and didn't like to talk to girls, had actually become sensible. She was very curious: "Really? Then you guys eat, and we'll chat while we eat."

"Mm." Xiao He was more than happy to oblige, and then quickly pulled out a stool, gesturing for Wen Qi to sit down.

Wen Qi couldn't afford to make a scene, so she could only smile gently at Tang Hui and say, "Okay."

Xiao He placed the durian cake he had prepared in advance in front of Wen Qi, and thoughtfully opened the small fork packaging bag for her and handed it to her.

Wen Qi took it without saying anything, and turned to continue chatting with Tang Hui.

Xiao He didn't say anything this time, but quietly got food and drinks for Wen Qi and handed her tissues.

The taste of Tangyue is really unique. It is not only sweet and refreshing but also has a delicate texture. Wenqi was shocked when she took the first bite.

Originally, I didn't want to eat and had no appetite, but while video chatting with Tang Hui, I couldn't help but eat more, and my brows and eyes gradually relaxed.

Tang Hui was very pleased with the couple's current relationship and thought it was normal. After chatting briefly, she didn't want to disturb the young couple's relationship development, so she took the initiative to hang up the video call.

The video call ended, and just as Xiao was worried that Wen Qi would be angry because of his actions, he was surprised to find that she was still eating the cake in her hand with her head down.

Xiao He felt much better. He took a cup of milk tea, inserted a straw, and handed it to Wen Qi: "Try it. I heard it's the best-selling one. You can drink one every day and never get tired of it."

Wen Qi was thinking about things, especially after Tang Hui said that she was afraid Xiao He would bully her before, but now that she saw the two of them getting along so well, she felt happy and relieved.

In short, Tang Hui's words were full of concern for her.

Wen Qi thought back carefully about what had happened during her time in the capital. Everyone had indeed been very kind to her, and now that Xiao He had apologized to her, it seemed a bit unreasonable for her to be so aggressive. Even if she didn't consider his feelings, she had to think about Tang Hui and Xiao Yan.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt much more at ease. She took the milk tea Xiao He handed her, lowered her head and took a small sip, then stood up and looked at him. Her tone was much gentler than before: "The taste is not bad, but I want to go back to my room first."

Xiao He looked at the cream on Wen Qi's lips and didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stood up and tentatively reached out his hand. Wen Qi's eyes were wary. When their eyes met, she realized what he wanted to do and didn't refuse, which was a way of giving him a way out.

Seeing this, Xiao He gently wiped the cream from the corner of Wen Qi's mouth with his fingertip, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I'll take you up."

He pointed to the dozens of desserts on the table and said solemnly, "Let's take all of these to our room to eat?"

Wen Qi was taken aback when she saw the table full of food. It seemed like they had brought the whole store here. She immediately shook her head and said, "No, I'm full."

Xiao He went along with her in everything and took Wen Qi's hand: "Okay, then we won't eat it. We can buy it again if you want to."

Standing so close together and holding hands so intimately, Wen Qi felt a little awkward looking at Xiao He's captivating face, and her ears involuntarily turned red.

There was nothing she could do; Xiao He's features were exactly what she considered beautiful.

Xiao He looked down at her and naturally noticed, but he didn't point it out. He smiled and led her upstairs.

Sure enough, with the matter on her mind resolved, she felt much more relaxed and slept soundly that night. Xiao He, unusually, did not suffer from insomnia.

-

The next morning, Wen Qi was unusually alert. She woke up a second before the alarm rang, hurriedly got ready, and rode her bike towards the company.

The drizzle continued all night without stopping, causing severe traffic jams on the roads. I was almost late for work when I arrived.

She managed to clock in and get to her workstation just two minutes before she was late, but she didn't see her colleagues.

Strange, where did they all go so early in the morning?

At 9:05, Zhou Zhou suddenly rushed in from the other side of the glass door. He was very surprised to see Wen Qi: "Wen Qi, why are you still sitting here? Don't you remember we have a meeting on Monday?"

Upon hearing Zhou Zhou's words, Wen Qi suddenly remembered and quickly picked up her notebook and stood up: "Ah, I really forgot. Do you know where the meeting is? Are you late? We're only just arriving now. Let's hurry up and get to the meeting."

Zhou Zhou went to his workstation, put down his bag, and picked up his notebook: "Well, Lin Nana just told me on WeChat that we're in conference room 208. Also, the group's leaders came to inspect today, and they're in the conference room right now."

"Ah... let's go quickly then." Wen Qi walked towards the conference room somewhat nervously.

The two entered the conference room together, where they saw a well-dressed, composed man sitting at the head of the table with his legs crossed, one hand playing with his phone and the other gently tapping the table.

A very professional senior assistant was sitting next to him.

Hearing the sound from the doorway, Xiao He looked up and first saw Wen Qi, then a few seconds later looked at Zhou Zhou next to her.

Another handsome young man appeared, and Xiao He's heart was filled with a thousand galloping horses.

As the team leader, Zhang Zhiqi quickly smoothed things over when he saw the two latecomers: "President Xiao, these two are new employees who didn't know there was a meeting today, so they're late."

Xiao He was always very strict and serious about his work. He turned his gaze to Zhang Zhiqi, his tone light and indifferent: "I don't know?"

This startled Zhang Zhiqi so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Wen Qi took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry, we were late. It has nothing to do with the team leader."

Xiao He glanced at her, then lowered his head to continue playing with his phone, his tone noticeably gentler: "Okay, take a seat."

Everyone knew that Wen Qi knew Xiao He, but no one said it outright. Lin Nana secretly admired her newly done manicure in front of the computer screen, pouted, and whispered to her colleague next to her, "Having connections makes all the difference. Look at how she looks, it seems we have no chance this time."

A colleague standing nearby said, "Not necessarily. Don't let her young age fool you; I've heard she's incredibly skilled."

Lin Nana scoffed: "Who knows what kind of technology it is? Humph."

My colleague said, "Anyway, the team leader hasn't decided which two people to go yet. If you want to go, why don't you volunteer? I heard that there was a big problem with the Xiangcheng project. General Manager Xiao came to listen to our meeting in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to it. Maybe if we can solve it smoothly, we can get a promotion and a raise when we come back."

After Wen Qi and Zhou Zhou sat down, Zhang Zhiqi nervously began to chair the meeting, but Xiao He only listened for a few minutes before leaving. He was quite annoyed, since President Xiao had never attended a small meeting of their level before.
