Mo Qingqiu’s office was at the very top.
When the elevator stopped on the eighth floor and let out a “ding,” Su Yichen stepped out.
According to the scrolling screen on the first floor, after reaching the eighth floor, exit the elevator and turn right. The first office was the Minister of the Literature and Arts Union Department’s office.
Standing in front of the pitch-black, heavy door, Su Yichen put away the playful expression left over from teasing the girl on the rooftop earlier.
He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door.
Su Yichen’s eyes flickered slightly, and his posture became cautious and careful. That aloof, free, and sharp temperament was completely hidden away.
At this moment, he had sheathed his edge.
Knock.
In the quiet environment, Su Yichen could hear footsteps approaching from inside the office.
Soon, the door was opened from inside.
“Senior Mo Qingqiu.”
As if he hadn’t expected Mo Qingqiu to open the door herself, Su Yichen showed a surprised expression. While speaking, he slightly bowed his body.
It seemed like he was somewhat flattered.
“Don’t be so restrained, Junior Su Yichen.”
Mo Qingqiu revealed a light smile, her tone approachable:
“We’re not in a superior-subordinate relationship. We’re just senior and junior.”
Hearing this, Su Yichen stared blankly at Mo Qingqiu’s stunning face. There was a moment of enchantment in his expression, as if he would be captivated the next second.
As expected of one of Qingyue University’s school beauties.
Even compared to Luo Yueli, Mo Qingqiu was in no way inferior.
The girl’s pretty face had a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall, the moon hide and flowers blush.
Her gentle and graceful temperament was perfectly displayed against the smile on her lips.
Mo Qingqiu looked at the dazed Su Yichen with a beaming smile. After a pause, she spoke softly:
“Junior Su Yichen?”
“I’m sorry, Senior.”
Hearing Mo Qingqiu’s voice, Su Yichen’s eyes suddenly regained focus.
He scratched his head and said a little sheepishly:
“You’re too beautiful. I lost my composure.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
Mo Qingqiu’s voice carried a gentle tolerance that encompassed everything:
“Come, please come in. Actually, I’m the one who caused you trouble.”
“There’s something I need your help with.”
Su Yichen walked into the office. His expression relaxed quite a bit, but there was still a hint of restraint.
“You need my help? What is it about?”
“First, have a seat. It’s nothing that will put you in a difficult position. If you find it troublesome, you can refuse.”
Mo Qingqiu didn’t immediately state the matter. Instead, she went to pour a cup of tea for Su Yichen.
‘I didn’t expect this junior…’
‘He’s actually quite something.’
‘If I hadn’t heard the recording, I would have been fooled by this innocent act of his.’
‘He clearly has the wisdom to see through everything, yet now he’s as pure as a little deer.’
Turning her head, Mo Qingqiu glanced at Su Yichen from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help but marvel.
‘This man… is really too interesting.’
‘It’s as if he’s a born actor.’
‘Mo Qingqiu didn’t believe this was Su Yichen’s true face, but she didn’t mind playing along with him.’
‘Even… she was quite willing to play along.’
‘She wanted to see what kind of person he really was.’
‘The same kind, yet not entirely the same.’
“Okay.”
Su Yichen sat on the chair, obediently responding, but his gaze was continuously surveying the office.
How to put it? The scale of the office was larger than he imagined, and the decoration wasn’t bad either.
This showed that Qingyue University really wasn’t short on money, and these organizations within the university probably also possessed some transcendent authority.
And Mo Qingqiu… was that her personality?
From the comparison between yesterday and today, no difference could be seen.
But a young miss from a high-ranking family like this, and a thrill-seeker, yet she treated people so gently.
Su Yichen had a strange feeling again.
There must be something he hadn’t figured out. Only a lack of information could cause this unnatural feeling in his thinking.
After pouring tea for herself and Su Yichen, Mo Qingqiu sat on the chair next to Su Yichen.
Those beautiful legs were crossed in a very elegant posture.
Even Su Yichen, who had been used as a cannon mount for years and had seen countless legs, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up in his heart when he saw these long legs in delicate black stockings.
‘Nice legs.’
‘Among all the women of the human race I have seen, Miss Mo’s legs are enough to rank in the top three.’
“It’s like this, Junior Su Yichen.”
After taking a sip of warm tea to moisten her throat, Mo Qingqiu spoke slowly in a soft voice:
“Recently, the Literature and Arts Union Department has had some member rotations, but coincidentally there are many things happening at school.”
“The new members haven’t come up yet, and the old members who rotated out are busy with their own matters. We’re suddenly a bit short-handed.”
“So I’d like to ask for your help.”
“When we met yesterday, I saw that you and your little girlfriend… seemed a bit short on money. This job comes with pay.”
“What exactly would I be doing?”
Su Yichen showed a curious expression and asked.
“It’s equivalent to being my secretary, helping me handle some work matters.”
Mo Qingqiu spoke warmly, her voice still as pleasant.
The warm breath from her mouth was mixed with the fragrance of tea.
Su Yichen’s eyes suddenly darkened.
‘This seemed like an opportunity.’
‘Especially in the eyes of most men, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.’
‘To be a male secretary for a school beauty-level girl at Qingyue University was something one couldn’t even dream of.’
‘But Su Yichen didn’t think so.’
‘This wasn’t an opportunity, but a probe.’
‘Su Yichen didn’t think his persona would be Mo Qingqiu’s first choice for a secretary.’
‘As a young miss, she could easily pick any helper from her family to handle these small matters.’
‘True noble families have world-class specialized butler teams.’
‘For those people to handle matters in the Qingyue University School Literature and Arts Union Department was really too simple.’
‘Using that group to do this task could even be described as using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito, killing a chicken with a cleaver.’
‘If she found it troublesome, Mo Qingqiu didn’t even need to do it herself. She could just send the documents back and someone would handle it for her.’
‘Even if she didn’t want to use her family’s power, with her appearance and prestige at Qingyue University, if she put out the word, there would definitely be no shortage of people wanting to be her secretary.’
‘Even in a top institution like Qingyue University, there are still more men than women.’
‘Here, only male competition exists.’
‘Most of the men who can get into here aren’t pushovers. A woman like Mo Qingqiu would easily arouse their desire to conquer.’
‘There are plenty of capable people. Mo Qingqiu’s options aren’t limited to just one.’
‘Choosing himself as her secretary was undoubtedly the worst option.’
‘Moreover, the School Literature and Arts Union Department has never had a “secretary” position in its history.’
‘This secretary position was most likely created by Mo Qingqiu herself.’
‘This woman’s words, I’m afraid…’
‘Seven parts true, three parts false.’
In that brief moment of contemplation, Su Yichen narrowed his eyes.
‘Mo Qingqiu…’
‘This is her going head-to-head with me.’
‘There should be only one reason why she’s doing this.’
‘I… have been targeted by her.’
