Chapter 89: Chapter 89: The New Secretary Turns Out To Be Her

Qiao Rui had eaten enough and then some of Pei Liyan’s portion too, feeling great afterwards.

She decided to go out for a walk.

It had to be said, being Pei Liyan’s wife now, she didn’t have to worry about food and drinks and took it as experiencing life.

Just as she reached the door, she saw Qiao Xiang wearing a sexy body-hugging dress, highlighting her enchanting figure, alluring and slender. The dress was black, adding a touch of mystery.

The tight fit emphasized Qiao Xiang’s waistline, exuding a strong femininity, combined with her bright facial features and long flowing hair made her an absolute stunner at first glance.

She was peering into Pei Liyan’s house,

apparently dressed up for him.

Qiao Rui wanted to bypass her and leave but was warmly called out by her, "Little sister, are you going out?"

"Big sister?" Qiao Rui couldn’t help but greet her. "What brings you here?"

"I just had my dinner and thought I’d stroll by and check on you," Qiao Xiang said.

"Check on me?" Qiao Rui said, "I’m really flattered."

"What? From your tone, little sister, it seems like you don’t welcome me to your place?" It was obvious that Qiao Xiang’s intention was to make a connection to Pei Liyan through her.

Qiao Rui certainly saw through this; just like her second sister, the eldest wanted to use her as a stepping stone to meet Pei Liyan, albeit a bit more craftily.

But to her, all of this seemed rather clumsy.

Why do you have to actively seek that man out? What’s so good about him?

"It’s not that I don’t welcome you, big sister, I’m just about to go out for a walk. You’re welcome to join me if you don’t mind."

Qiao Xiang said, "That’s alright, my high heels aren’t quite suited for walking too much."

"Alright then, big sister!" Qiao Rui smiled, "I’m heading out."

She didn’t speak any further with Qiao Xiang and soon left.

Qiao Xiang, however, didn’t leave and still stood at Pei Liyan’s door.

Shortly after, Pei Liyan drove out, saw Qiao Xiang at the door, frowned slightly, and lowered his car window, asking, "Qiao Xiang, what’s up?"

"Ah, Liyan!" Upon seeing Pei Liyan, Qiao Xiang instantly became very enthusiastic, "My dad just bought me a villa nearby, we’re going to be neighbors."

Pei Liyan paused slightly, "You moved here?"

"Yes, just two days ago. I was thinking of inviting my sister and you over for a housewarming, are you free tomorrow?"

Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Xiang meaningfully and said in a low voice, "Sure, what time tomorrow?"

Qiao Xiang, feeling favored, said, "Really? How about the evening, after work?"

"Fine," Pei Liyan responded flatly.

"Then you can tell my little sister," Qiao Xiang smiled, "I won’t bother mentioning it again, okay?"

"Fine," Pei Liyan nodded.

"You go on then," Qiao Xiang said considerately, striking a perfect balance.

Pei Liyan drove off, and Qiao Xiang immediately turned back.

Pei Liyan didn’t return that night.

The supper Mrs. Feng prepared went to waste, and she was quite worried Pei Liyan might be upset with her.

"Young Madame, do you think Mister could actually be mad at me?"

"Why would he be? Your Mister doesn’t seem like the type to be petty," Qiao Rui comforted Mrs. Feng, devouring the supper she had prepared.

Mrs. Feng remained worried,

but Pei Liyan didn’t come back all night.

Qiao Rui couldn’t have been happier.

The next day.

At Pei Family’s corporate office.

During the training for new secretaries, Pei Liyan’s secretarial department had recently recruited a few secretaries, and Fang Mo happened to see Qiao Xiang as the HR director was bringing them in.

Fang Mo was stunned.

Qiao Xiang slightly nodded and smiled at him.

Fang Mo hadn’t expected Qiao Xiang to be one of the new secretaries.

He didn’t know, and presumably, President Pei didn’t either.

Indeed, when Pei Liyan left his office and saw Qiao Xiang sitting at the secretarial desk, he paused "Qiao Xiang?"

Qiao Xiang immediately stood up, respectfully and formally said, "Hello President Pei, I’m the new secretary Qiao Xiang, please guide me."

Pei Liyan frowned, looked at Fang Mo.

Fang Mo shook his head, barely daring to breathe.

Pei Liyan glanced at her and nodded slightly, "Fang Mo, come in here."

"What’s going on?" Pei Liyan hadn’t expected Qiao Xiang to become his secretary.

Fang Mo quickly reported in the president’s office, "President, I just checked with HR, Qiao Xiang was hired through a formal recruitment process, passed the exam and performed excellently."

"Is that so?" Pei Liyan remembered that during his last visit at Qiao Family’s, Qiao Xiang had been secretive about her work and had apparently already come for training and application.

She was really determined.

"Being hired through a formal exam, if we want to fire her, we would need a reason," Fang Mo mentioned Pei Family’s employment standards.

Their company always had a good reputation, firing someone without a reason wouldn’t look good.

"Who said anything about firing her?" Pei Liyan frowned, "Never mind, let her work for now."

"Yes!" Fang Mo nodded.

Pei Liyan thought, if Qiao Xiang could handle being his secretary, it wouldn’t be too bad.

He also had something to prove to his grandfather.

His grandfather liked Qiao Xiang, so this could be a way of balancing things.

When He Zheng came to see Pei Liyan, and saw Qiao Xiang, he was also surprised.

He had just found out Qiao Xiang had started working at Pei.

Sitting opposite Pei Liyan, He Zheng took out a cigarette pack, offered one to Pei Liyan, and lit one for himself, "Qiao Xiang is really something, aiming straight for you."

Pei Liyan froze, looked up at He Zheng, "What do you mean ’aiming for me’?"

He Zheng’s smile was teasing, "A top graduate from a prestigious university, not joining her own family business after graduation but running to be your secretary, this sentiment is touching."

Pei Liyan frowned deeply, "If you can’t talk properly, just shut up."

"What’s there to be afraid of, it’s just the two of us here in your office, what’s there to avoid?" He Zheng could not help but retort.

Pei Liyan coolly glanced at him, "There’s nothing to avoid, I just simply don’t like it, okay?"

"Sure, that’s more than okay," He Zheng smiled, took a deep breath, and exhaled a white ring of smoke.

Pei Liyan also puffed away, half-closing his eyes.

"Hey, why do I feel like since you went to Xinyang, you seem like a different person?" He Zheng suddenly looked seriously at Pei Liyan.

He carefully observed Pei Liyan, up and down, the more he looked, the more different he felt.

Because they had grown up together from childhood for over twenty years, they naturally understood each other.

Pei Liyan flicked his eyelid, asking, "How different?"

"Saucy!" He Zheng said, "You look very saucy!"
