Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 206: Are you complimenting me indirectly?

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Are you complimenting me indirectly?

Lin Qian changed out of her work uniform and left the changing room.

Chen Fei saw her come out and whispered, "President Chu is here, waiting for you in the office. Also, Shen Bing kept asking me last night about your situation with President Chu. I didn’t respond and later said that everyone went home after the gathering."

Hearing this, Lin Qian’s almond-shaped eyes sparkled.

Qiao Xiya had someone watch her, just to find out if she had any flirtatious actions with other men.

Was it interesting?

Even without those incidents, wasn’t she still inextricably linked to Yin Moran?

"I know, you go ahead with your work."

Lin Qian smiled at Chen Fei and headed straight for the office.

After knocking twice on the door and hearing Chu Yelin say "come in," Lin Qian entered.

In addition to Chu Yelin, Du Qian was also in the office.

Was it her imagination, or was the atmosphere a bit off?

Chu Yelin’s face was cold, while Du Qian stood next to him holding a box of tissues, her face full of panic and shyness.

"President Chu, you were looking for me."

"Yes, Manager Lin, the matter I mentioned to you yesterday about accompanying me to the Gu Family’s place, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"

Chu Yelin’s frosty face slightly relaxed as he tossed the documents onto the desk.

"I remember," Lin Qian nodded.

"Let’s go then."

Chu Yelin stood up, straightened his clothes, and strode forward.

Du Qian’s voice came from behind, "Wait, President Chu, your pants got wet because of me. It wouldn’t be good to meet clients like this. How about I fetch a new pair of pants for you to change into first, then we can go handle the business?"

Chu Yelin’s pants got wet because of Du Qian?

Lin Qian blinked and instinctively glanced towards Chu Yelin’s lower body, only to see that the color of his black slacks was noticeably darker around the thigh area.

The location of the wetness... certainly invited some wild thoughts.

No wonder Du Qian was holding a box of tissues, looking like a girl flush with springtime emotions.

So, she was cleaning the water stains on Chu Yelin’s leg?

This action... was she trying to seduce Chu Yelin?

Lin Qian took a breath and quickly averted her eyes.

Chu Yelin’s chill voice reached her ears.

"Manager Du, please focus your attention on your work. The company doesn’t tolerate idlers, and as a leader in the company, I dislike boot-lickers and sycophants even more. Your work abilities need improvement, and I hope you take some time to learn from Manager Lin how to conduct yourself and handle matters."

His words were sharp and unmerciful.

Lin Qian lowered her eyes and remained silent, following Chu Yelin out.

It wasn’t surprising that Chu Yelin didn’t mince words.

Du Qian’s intentions were indeed unspeakable.

Behind her, Du Qian’s face turned pale as she watched Chu Yelin and Lin Qian leave one after the other, flustered and angry, throwing the box of tissues onto the floor.

As a regional manager, she was being told to learn how to behave and handle matters from Lin Qian, a mere store manager?

How could her abilities not match up to Lin Qian’s?

She admitted, she had deliberately splashed water onto his pants.

Aren’t all men the same?

Wouldn’t they secretly relish what’s readily available?

But this Chu Yelin was unexpectedly ungrateful!

What did he mean by that?

He was clearly favoring Lin Qian!

Was he deliberately finding fault with her, wanting Lin Qian to take her place?

Du Qian’s face turned from pale to flushed with anger as she angrily threw the documents on the table onto the floor.

Outside, Lin Qian hurried to keep up with Chu Yelin’s pace.

Seeing that he didn’t head straight for the elevator, Lin Qian was taken aback and quickly asked, "President Chu, aren’t we going to the Gu Family’s place?"

"No rush, accompany me to buy a pair of pants first."

Lin Qian: "..."

She had to accompany him to buy pants!

Could Du Qian replace her?

She didn’t want to be stuck with this task!

Lin Qian pursed her lips, reluctantly following behind him.

"President Chu, doesn’t our store sell pants? Why do we need to go to another store to buy them?"

Hearing this, Chu Yelin glanced sideways, his steps slowing slightly, a hint of depth emerging at the corners of his mouth, "Gathering intelligence."

Gathering intelligence!

This man, he takes his job seriously.

Lin Qian bent her lips into a smile and followed Chu Yelin to the men’s clothing floor, looking around.

"Lin Qian, what do you think of these brands? Which brand’s pants would suit me best?"

Chu Yelin asked.

Was this a test of her professional competence?

Lin Qian pondered for a moment, pointing to a men’s clothing store nearby, "President Chu, I think this brand targets the business elite demographic, and the materials they use are very high quality. You might want to give it a try."

Thankfully, she had done her homework and knew about the brands on the market, so she wasn’t left clueless when the big boss asked her.

"This brand targets the business elite?"

Chu Yelin raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Lin Qian, "Lin Qian, are you complimenting me indirectly?"

Lin Qian: "..."

She was clearly talking about the characteristics of the brand, okay?

This person, must he nitpick like this!

"President Chu... indeed, it’s for elite individuals, that’s indisputable."

Lin Qian calmly flattered him.

Chu Yelin chuckled softly, giving her a deep look before turning into the shop.

"Welcome, may I help you find something?"

The saleslady approached warmly, and Chu Yelin, hands in pockets, turned back to give Lin Qian a look.

He wanted her to choose the pants!

Lin Qian got the message, looked around, and pointed at a pair of pants to the saleslady.

"Please bring a large size for him."

"Of course, just a moment, please."

The saleslady took out a pair of pants in the appropriate size and handed them to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian walked over to Chu Yelin, "President Chu, go try these on."

"Mhm, wait for me."

Chu Yelin took the pants, flashed Lin Qian a smile that curled his lips, and entered the fitting room.

The man was striking in appearance, his smile at Lin Qian gentle. They almost looked like a couple shopping for clothes.

"Isn’t that the notorious Lin Qian? She’s actually accompanying a man to buy pants? Hey, what do you think their relationship is?"

"What relationship? She calls him President Chu, it seems professional at face value, but who knows what’s going on underneath?"

"Exactly. I saw the news yesterday, Yin Moran and Qiao Xiya still have lingering affections. Maybe Lin Qian couldn’t stand it and decided to break everything and just do her own thing."

"..."

Whispering from the sales staff came from behind, and Lin Qian’s delicate brow furrowed, she sighed inwardly with resignation.

She felt she should just stay in the store and not go anywhere.

To avoid being treated like a monkey on display wherever she went.

Just as she tried to ignore the comments going in one ear and out the other, a sharp female voice rang out.

"Lin Qian, you’re capable! Found yourself a new man so quickly, huh? Why are you so cheap!"

Hearing this, Lin Qian’s brows furrowed tighter.

She turned around, only to see two fashionably dressed women strutting over confidently.

The speaker, she recognized, was Zhao Wan, an heiress from the Zhao Family who was good friends with Gu Yan and had mocked her in every way at Old Madam Yin’s birthday banquet.

Ugh!

She really should have checked the almanac before going out.

Lin Qian pressed her lips together, not responding, and casually picked out another pair of pants.

"Why aren’t you talking? Guilty conscience much?"

Zhao Wan stepped beside Lin Qian and pushed her forcefully. "You lowlife, Lin Qian, I was wondering how Yin Moran could possibly fancy you. It was just for fun, wasn’t it? And look at you, not sitting idle, finding a new catch right away. Does this man know you’ve already been played out by others? Tell me, should I reveal your glorious deeds to your current sugar daddy?"

Zhao Wan despised Lin Qian.

It was all because of Lin Qian that her parents scolded her and planned to send her abroad for further studies as a way to appease Yin Moran.

Lin Qian, the vile woman, Zhao Wan wanted nothing more than to skin her alive!
