Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Birthday Surprise

After Su Qingyan was called away, the colleagues in the office immediately started whispering and discussing.

"Hey, what do you think Wang always wants from Su Qingyan?"

"Hard to say."

"I feel like Wang always treated Su Qingyan differently just now... Could it be...?"

"What are you thinking? Wang always has a girlfriend."

"I always feel like Wang always seemed very respectful towards Su Qingyan. Do you think she might be some rich heiress out here experiencing life?"

"You’ve been reading too many novels."

The office gossip was completely unknown to Su Qingyan, who at this moment was staring with a suspicious and slightly guarded look at the man called Wang Jingpeng.

Wang Jingpeng was the full name of Wang always, who was now forty years old.

With his sharp gaze, Wang Jingpeng naturally noticed the caution in Su Qingyan’s eyes.

He smiled, invited Su Qingyan to sit on the nearby sofa, and even personally brewed her a cup of tea.

That action only made Su Qingyan more vigilant.

No reason to be overly attentive—it’s either conspiratorial or dishonest.

"Wang always, may I ask what this is about?"

"It’s like this..."

Wang Jingpeng carefully considered his wording before tentatively asking, "Miss Su, do you know Mr. Xiao?"

"Mr. Xiao?"

Su Qingyan didn’t react immediately.

"Which Mr. Xiao?"

"Xiao Fei, Mr. Xiao."

When mentioning Xiao Fei, a trace of admiration flickered in Wang Jingpeng’s eyes.

Even though he’d never met Xiao Fei, he had long been an admirer from afar.

As a citizen of Yanxia, Xiao Fei’s status as a heavyweight shareholder and board member of the top international investment bank JPMorgan Chase, not to mention being its largest shareholder in the Asia-Pacific region, was something that naturally garnered Wang Jingpeng’s deep respect.

Beyond that, the investment institution where he worked was backed by JPMorgan Chase. If you think about it, Xiao Fei could very well be his ultimate boss.

Meanwhile, Su Qingyan was stunned.

Xiao Fei?

Tang Yuxin’s husband?

She smacked her forehead. "Oh, him? Yeah, I know him."

Wang Jingpeng keenly realized that Su Qingyan’s tone, when speaking about Xiao Fei, was incredibly casual, as if she were talking about an ordinary friend.

This made Wang Jingpeng even more respectful toward Su Qingyan.

"So Miss Su does know Mr. Xiao..."

At the same time, doubts plagued his mind.

If they knew each other, why did Xiao Fei not directly call her but instead had someone trace her down to notify him?

Something unusual must be going on.

Could it be that Mr. Xiao is interested in this Miss Su, but the two are not very familiar with each other yet?

While Wang Jingpeng’s thoughts were swirling, Su Qingyan had plenty of questions herself.

What’s Xiao Fei’s deal?

From Wang Jingpeng’s demeanor when talking about him, that guy must be super influential?

Su Qingyan knew Xiao Fei was ridiculously wealthy, so much so that it was beyond her imagination. But as for his specific identity, Su Qingyan had no clue.

She wasn’t interested either.

"Wang always, why are you bringing up Xiao Fei?"

"It’s like this, Miss Su."

Feeling he had a better grasp of the situation, Wang Jingpeng smiled broadly.

"Mr. Xiao thinks very highly of Miss Su, and moreover..."

At that very moment, Su Qingyan’s phone rang.

"Go ahead and answer it."

Wang Jingpeng immediately indicated that Su Qingyan could take her call.

Su Qingyan nodded, pulled out her phone, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Wang Jingpeng glanced at the screen, quickly memorized the number.

If nothing unexpected happened, this was probably a call from the legendary Mr. Xiao himself.

Though he remembered the number, Wang Jingpeng dared not dial it casually to introduce himself.

Su Qingyan picked up the call...

"Hello?"

[Miss Su, tracking you down wasn’t easy.]

Xiao Fei’s voice sounded on the other end of the line.

Su Qingyan nearly laughed in frustration.

"Xiao Fei, what’s your deal? How do you even have my number? Let me warn you, if you try anything with Yuxin—"

[Hey hey! What’s running through your mind? Hear me out first, alright?]

"Fine, go ahead."

On the other end of the call, Xiao Fei paused before saying:

[Here’s the thing, Yuxin’s birthday is coming up, and I’m racking my brain trying to figure out what surprise to prepare. You know she pretty much has everything now, and I just can’t think of anything. So I wanted to hear your thoughts—if there’s anything she particularly likes but doesn’t have yet...]

Su Qingyan finally understood what was going on but still asked, "Before that, how did you get my number?"

[Well, um...]

"Quit stalling!"

[Alright alright, I asked someone to investigate you. Sorry about that! As an apology, I promise to send you a gift.]

[You can yell at me later or even come to my house and point your finger at me—whatever works. I admit what I did was wrong, but please, until Yuxin’s birthday passes, don’t tell her a thing!]

Su Qingyan rolled her eyes, feeling both annoyed and amused. At the same time, she grew increasingly envious of Tang Yuxin.

Her husband went to such great lengths just to make her happy, even at the cost of upsetting others.

"Forget the gift. You sure know how to pull strings..."

She glanced at the nearby Wang Jingpeng.

This was what it was all about...

Seems like Xiao Fei really has some incredibly mysterious connections?

"I’ll need some time to think about it. I can’t come up with something on the spot. Here, add me on WeChat using this number, and I’ll message you after work."

[Alright~]

The call ended, and Xiao Fei hung up.

Stunned, Su Qingyan stared at her phone, now emitting nothing but the "beep... beep... beep" sound.

What’s with this guy?

He investigates her out of nowhere, calls her directly, fine—it’s to plan a birthday.

But after explaining, he hangs up on you just like that?

As if, as long as you’re not his wife, everyone else is completely negligible?

She shook her head and let out a little "heh."

"Wang always, you gave Xiao Fei my number, didn’t you?"

Wang Jingpeng nodded.

"Terribly sorry, Miss Su, this matter—"

"Forget it, forget it, it’s not a big deal. He’s my best friend’s husband, trying to think of a surprise for his wife’s birthday but couldn’t come up with anything and ended up tracking me down... tch!"

Only then did Wang Jingpeng realize he might have misunderstood something from the very beginning.

Still, hearing Su Qingyan say this, that mysterious Mr. Xiao seemed like quite a romantic guy?

"Wang always, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to work?"

"No problem at all, Miss Su, please go ahead!"

Watching Wang Jingpeng’s respectful demeanor, Su Qingyan squinted slightly before striding out of the office in her high heels.

It seemed like, out of all this fuss, there might actually be something in it for her?

At least, from now on, Wang always probably wouldn’t dare provoke her, right?

Who would’ve thought she’d one day get to ride Tang Yuxin’s coattails...

(Tch, since that’s the case, I’d better think of something special for her.)

With that thought, Su Qingyan returned to her desk.
