Chapter 327: Chapter 327 [Five More Updates] Vote for monthly tickets!!!

Song Jinze settled into his chair, his eyes deepening as he parted his thin lips slightly, "Tell me, what did you see just now?"

What did he see?

This question was one Secretary Zhang found somewhat difficult to answer immediately. He needed to organize his thoughts, as some things could be said, while others could not.

The president had said before not to report any more matters concerning Xiao Yi, but it seemed today’s topics were all inevitably tied to the name Xiao Yi!

"President, there is some gossip about Mrs. Song circulating online again. Regarding this issue, I’ve given it some thought, and I believe that the key to solving the source of the gossip is for you to publicly reveal your identity with Mrs. Song!"

As the group’s chief secretary, one of his primary duties was to immediately relay issues to the president when they arose and to provide viable solutions as much as possible.

Song Jinze’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he raised his hand to gesture to Secretary Zhang, "Bring it here for me to see."

Secretary Zhang silently cleared his throat, his Adam’s apple bobbing but not moving further, then he smiled faintly, "President, let me report it to you instead. I can read fine, and it won’t scald my mouth to speak!"

Allowing the president to read those comments on Weibo himself might lead to him smashing his tablet on the spot~

The most crucial thing was that the president had just said he was laughing...

"Oh~" With a flash of sharpness in his eyes, Song Jinze spoke coldly, "So what you’re saying is that I can’t read? That I need you to report it to me?"

Secretary Zhang: ...

Being a human is hard, but being the president’s secretary is even harder!

"Don’t just stand there, bring it here!"

Facing Song Jinze’s deep and profound gaze, Secretary Zhang didn’t dare to stall any longer. If he continued to do so, the president was really going to get angry.

After unlocking the tablet, he handed it over.

As Song Jinze read the content, his frown deepened from a slight crease at the beginning to a tight lock, his complexion growing so dark it looked like it could drip water.

"Old man? Why is this term even here?"

Secretary Zhang looked astonished, "President, I had someone take it down earlier, but..."

But as Mrs. Song was a public figure, it was inevitable that netizens would fabricate stories about her.

Clearly, this explanation wouldn’t fly.

Secretary Zhang quickly changed the subject, "I’ll contact someone to deal with these trending searches right away!"

After speaking, Secretary Zhang repeated his earlier suggestion, "President, I think it is necessary for you to discuss with Mrs. Song about going public with the nature of your relationship. This would reduce a lot of unnecessary rumors and speculation..."

As Secretary Zhang was explaining, he noticed that the president had already picked up his phone to make a call and was gesturing for him to leave.

My goodness! The president is being surprisingly agreeable today!

Secretary Zhang quickly stepped forward, hugging the tablet as he exited the office, and then contacted the relevant personnel to start removing the trending searches...

By the time Song Jinze called Ye Zhenzhen, she was already having dinner at a Sichuan restaurant in Hongshan District with Xiao Yi and the two little ones.

Both were the type who didn’t like to check their phones often, so they were naturally unaware of the online trending searches.

When Ye Zhenzhen received Song Jinze’s call, Xiao Yi also received a call from Feige. Xiao Yi wanted to find a place to smoke, as it was inconvenient to do so with the two kids and Ye Zhenzhen around, so he stepped out of the private room.

Ye Zhenzhen pressed the answer button, "Mr. Song, what’s the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Jinze heard the woman’s gentle and somewhat joyful voice, which made his slightly sullen mood lighten quite a bit, "Is Mrs. Song outside right now?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Xiao Chen and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"

"I guessed."

The man’s voice was steady, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Then Mr. Song is very clever! I’m out having a meal with Xiao Chen and Shu Siyu. We just happened to run into Xiao Yi, and now we’re having dinner at a Sichuan restaurant. We’ve just finished, and we’re about to head home."

Song Jinze understood and felt that the comments online were far too absurd.

"Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"No need, I have a driver following me. Have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet."

Ye Zhenzhen’s lips curved slightly, "Do you want me to pack you something to take home, or will you eat when you get back?"

"Is the food good where you are?" After chatting idly with her for a few moments, he suddenly found himself in a good mood.

"It’s not bad. I’ll pack some for you to take home then. I expect to be home before 8, so finish up and come home early."

Song Jinze smiled and pressed his lips together, "Alright, I’ll try."

Not long after the call ended, Xiao Yi walked in from outside, his expression when he looked at Ye Zhenzhen somewhat complicated.

"Zhenzhen, that... We got photographed again near the food street!"

Feige had just called him about this, and he had checked the trending searches too; it was somewhat outrageous.

Looking at Shu Siyu sitting with Xiao Chen, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This little guy was actually rumored to be his and Ye Zhenzhen’s illegitimate child?

He wouldn’t mind if this was true. If it were, Mr. Song would probably die of anger!

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t immediately respond to Xiao Yi; instead, she took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo.

By the time she looked again, everything was gone.

"What trending search? I didn’t see anything?"

A flicker of surprise passed in the depths of Xiao Yi’s eyes. He took out his own phone again, accessed Weibo, and found the trending search had been removed as well.

Given the astonishing speed, and considering he had just hung up with Feige, it definitely wasn’t Feige’s doing.

"I don’t have it here either; it must have been pulled down by someone."

After all, it was somewhat preposterous.

Ye Zhenzhen reacted quickly too, thinking of the call she just had with Song Jinze when he asked if she was out eating dinner or something.

So, it’s likely Song Jinze who had dealt with those trending searches.

"Song Jinze?" Xiao Yi asked.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "It should be."

...

Song Jinze looked at the time; it took half an hour to get home from the company without traffic jams. Leaving now would be perfect timing.

Secretary Zhang was still busy outside. When the office door opened again, he saw the president coming out, holding the stack of files that he had taken in earlier.

Song Jinze placed the files on Secretary Zhang’s desk, "I’ll leave these to you. Go over them first based on the content of tonight’s meeting, and if there are no issues, bring them to me for a signature tomorrow."

Hearing the president speak in that tone, a hint of illusion flickered in Secretary Zhang’s eyes; the president seemed to be in a good mood, and hadn’t mentioned anything about docking bonuses...

"Secretary Zhang!"

"Yes?"

"Stop daydreaming! As for the solution you just mentioned, I think it’s very good, keep it up!"

What solution?

The one that got the president to not only refrain from docking his bonus but also praise him?

Oh~ Could it be the suggestion to announce his relationship with his wife publicly?

Watching Song Jinze head towards the elevator, Secretary Zhang boldly asked, "Mr. President, where are you going now?"

Song Jinze turned and patted Secretary Zhang on the shoulder, "You keep working overtime, I’m off work now, I’m leaving first!"

Secretary Zhang: ...

The president, he seems to have changed...
