Chapter: 2918
Wang Dongxue asked, “Are you getting used to Jinling?”
“Very much,” He Zhiqiu replied with a smile. “I actually feel more at home here than in the United States. I have a stronger sense of belonging and, importantly, I feel safe here.”
“That’s true,” Wang Dongxue said with a sigh. “I spent some time in the United States too. The safety there is definitely worse than in China. After 10 PM, I wouldn’t dare go out, especially outside the city. There are often gun robberies on the streets, which is really dangerous for women.”
He Zhiqiu nodded, agreeing with her. “The security issue in the United States has always been a problem. When I was there, I usually stayed in after 9 PM.”
Wang Dongxue smiled, “But in China, you can go out without worry at any time.”
He Zhiqiu nodded again and asked cautiously, “Wang Dong, is Mr. Ye easy to work with?”
Wang Dongxue smiled lightly and said, “In life, he’s quite easy to get along with, but at work, it’s a different story.”
“Really?” He Zhiqiu felt a bit nervous and quickly asked, “Is he strict with his work?”
Wang Dongxue smiled again and replied, “Not at all! In fact, the reason he’s hard to work with is because he’s hands-off. He delegates tasks and often doesn’t show up for months. It makes working with him challenging.”
He Zhiqiu felt a bit relieved, but when he thought about the situation, disappointment crept in. He realized that if he couldn’t see Charlie Wade in the coming months, it might mean that Charlie didn’t care about his work. This made him worry about how hard it would be to meet him.
As He Zhiqiu pondered this, someone knocked on the door. A woman’s voice said, “Wang Dong, Mr. Ye is here.” It was Wang Dongxue’s secretary.
The secretary didn’t know Charlie’s true identity; she only knew he was an important guest for Wang Dongxue. Whenever Charlie visited the Emgrand Group, Wang Dongxue always made sure to give him special attention. So, as soon as Charlie arrived, she brought him to Wang Dongxue.
Wang Dongxue quickly stood up when she heard Charlie was there. She went to the door, opened it, and greeted him respectfully, saying, “Mr. Ye, welcome. Please come in.”
Charlie nodded and stepped inside.
Wang Dongxue then instructed her secretary, “From now on, I won’t meet anyone else. All meetings are postponed for a while. However, if Miss Song from the Song family arrives, bring her directly to my office.”
The secretary quickly replied, “Understood, Wang Dong.”
As Charlie entered the office, he noticed He Zhiqiu standing awkwardly by the sofa. He asked, “Zhiqiu, why aren’t you sitting down?”
He Zhiqiu felt a bit embarrassed and replied, “Mr. Ye, please sit first, and then I’ll sit.”
Charlie smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so formal with me. Just relax and sit down.”
He Zhiqiu nodded and carefully took a seat on the sofa.
Wang Dongxue closed the door and walked over, saying politely, “Master, would you like something to drink?”
“Just some plain water,” Charlie Wade replied casually.
Wang Dongxue quickly poured a glass of water for him and then sat down across from him with a smile. “Master, before you arrived, I was just talking about you with Miss He.”
“Oh? Really?” Charlie Wade smiled and asked, “What were you saying about me?”
