A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 158

When she turned her back to Ye Fan, two trails of tears were streaming quietly down her cheeks. But nobody could see her crying.

Perhaps Ye Fan did see. But Xu Lei did not seem to want to talk about it, so he did not ask any more questions.

After all, everyone had their own lives. They all had their own share of joys and sorrows to go through. Moreover, he and Xu Lei were just casual acquaintances, so he felt that he had no right to interfere in her life.

The only thing he could do was to remember her effort toward helping him and his wife. In the future, he would repay the favor if an opportunity presented itself.

Soon after Xu Lei's departure, Ye Fan also left Yunwu Lake.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian had already returned to Yunzhou. And being the workaholic that she was, Qiu Mu-Cheng did not choose to go home upon her return. Instead, she told Su Qian to send her to her office without delay.

"Cheng-Cheng, I have to hand it to you."

"I think your grandfather should really give you a Model Worker Medal."

"You are going to work even though you have just returned. Can't you rest at home for a day before returning to your office?"

Su Qian was almost rendered speechless; more and more she admired her BFF's work ethics.

Anyway, she knew that she would not be able to do the same. Su Qian could eat and play around well enough, but she could not do work that taxed the mind and body.

In her mind, life was too short to spend on work. She would rather use the time to eat and play around.

Su Qian shook her head with a sigh.

Afterward, she stopped trying to persuade Qiu Mu-Cheng and simply drove away after dropping off the latter at her office.

This Mount Tai trip had made her forget the harmonica player. Now she had a new target.

"Brother, that was all your fault. You gave me two lousy tickets. Our seats were at the very last row. That was why I couldn't see what my idol looked like."

"I don't care. You have to find Mr. Chu for me. And introduce him to me."

"I will only marry Mr. Chu and no one else.”

"I don't care, I don't care~"

In the car, Su Qian was on the phone with her brother and acting like a spoiled child.

But it was probably beyond her imagination to think that both Mr. Chu and the harmonica player were the same person all along.

Sometimes, the world is a small place.

You can part company with someone and then, a moment later, he may appear before you at another place and with another identity. Just like how it happened with Su Qian and the idol she was crushing on.

But who knew just what sort of expression Su Qian would have, if she were to find out the true identity of the idol she was crushing on.

Of course, that was a story to be told later.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already gone up to her office. But once there, she found that some things had changed. For example, somebody had removed the two pots of asparagus fern that had used to stand at the entrance of the office. She had asked her assistant, Li Fei-Fei, to buy them for her. Now, standing in their place, were two pots of towering cinnamon trees.

Even the red doormat with the Chinese characters for "Blooming Fortune” had been replaced. She had bought it and placed it at the entrance herself. All traces of her that had existed before the Mount Tai trip had been erased. For a moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng thought that she had gone to the wrong office.

She even went outside to look at the door plate.

No, she was at the right address. 298 Tongan Road, Qiushui Logistics.

And so, with a heart heavy with confusion, Qiu Mu-Cheng walked into the office. But along the way, the colleagues who had hitherto greeted her with respect and smiles were all shocked to see her. All of them bowed their heads to avoid looking at her and then hurried away to somewhere far away.

It was as if they were avoiding the plague.

Qiu Mu-Cheng took note of their abnormal behavior and grew even more confused. A deep frown appeared on her face.

"Ah?"

"Miss Qiu, you...you are back?"

Just then, a clerk in an OL outfit happened to pass by. She was also shocked to see Qiu Mu-Cheng and immediately questioned the latter. This clerk was Qiu

Mu-Cheng's former assistant, Li Fei-Fei.

In Qiushui Logisitcs, Qiu Mu-Cheng trusted three persons the most.

Li Fei-Fei was one of them. The other two were employees who had been promoted to their current positions by Qiu Mu-Cheng. One was called Du Juan and the other was called Zhang Heng.

The trio had always been working under Qiu Mu-Cheng.
