Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Will You Restrain Yourself a Little?
Shao Boqing slept soundly this time. Fang Xueqing tried to wake him up several times, but he did not react. Seeing that it was time for her to go to work, Fang Xueqing had no choice but to set the alarm clock for him for another half an hour. Whether it could wake him up or not would depend on the will of the heavens. Anyway, it was common for him to be late at work and leave early in Gu Group.

Half an hour later, Shao Boqing was awakened by the alarm clock. He opened his eyes in a daze. For a moment, he was confused, as if he didn’t know where he was. Shao Boqing still had a slight headache. This was the result of a hangover. Shao Boqing was no stranger to this kind of pain.

He stroked his forehead and was still in a trance. Last night, he had a dream. The dream was no different from his real life, including the scene of debauchery, luxury and dissipation, him being accompanied by a retinue, and full of bustling liveliness. Beside him was always a large group of people and all types of young girls, who were singing and laughing, drinking wine and enjoying delicacies. He just abandoned himself to pleasures. However, there was always a woman who flashed past in front of his eyes. She had loose and wavy hair and wore a long cheongsam, on the bright green cloth of which were embroidered with velvet twining lotus. When she walked, the lotus glimmered in the light and the lotus flowers seemed to be real, dancing in the wind. He remembered such details clearly, but he couldn’t see the woman’s face. It was either her back or her profile that he could see. No matter how he tried, he couldn’t see her face.

As a result, he gradually lost his patience. There were always many hands that pulled him back to the lively scene and he continued to indulge in pleasure. However, not long after, that woman appeared again. She walked past before his nose, charming and graceful, like a slender and weak willow branch swaying in the wind. She attracted his gaze again. When he chased after her, he still couldn’t see her, and then he was pulled back by the crowd again. The scene continued on and on like this until he was awakened by the alarm clock.

Mondays were always busy. Zhou Ting was being terribly busy when Shao Boqing’s new secretary, Little Mei, called and said, “Miss Zhou, the traffic police called a minute ago and said that Boss Shao’s car was towed away. They need him to go to the traffic police station later.”

Hearing that, Zhou Ting was stunned for a moment. Last night, Shao Boqing had obviously driven away. How could the car be towed away?

“Where is he?”

Little Mei said, “He hasn’t arrived at the company yet. The traffic police said his phone couldn’t be reached. I just called him too. His phone was turned off.”

Hearing that, Zhou Ting had a bad feeling. She thought to herself that he drank a little too much last night. Could something have happened?

She asked, “Where did Boss Shao’s car get towed away?”

Little Mei said, “It’s on the Qinghu Road.”

Qinghu Road? Zhou Ting felt that this road name was a little familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn’t this the road in front of Nina’s house? What was Shao Boqing doing there last night? She suddenly felt an even stronger bad feeling in her heart and asked Little Mei, “Is there a more specific location?”

“Yes, they have sent photos over.” Little Mei smiled and continued, “Perhaps they are afraid that Boss Shao won’t admit what he has done, so they show him the evidence first. I’ll send the pictures to you now.”

Zhou Ting agreed. Very quickly, the photos were sent over. The photos were taken from all four directions. The cool white sports car was parked across the road from Nina’s house impressively.

Zhou Ting put her hand on her forehead. What was this all about? After drinking too much, he parked his car in front of his former secretary’s house. What did you want to do, Boss Shao? Would you restrain yourself a little? It was still not long after your engagement!

Shao Boqing arrived at the company at 10:30 in the morning. As usual, he was full of vigor and radiance. The attentive staff discovered that Boss Shao, who was dressed in white shirts and black trousers all day long and looked like a business elite a few time ago, had now returned to his usual style. He was now wearing a fluorescent green shirt and a pair of slim khaki casual pants. His coat was a pure white suit, which was fashionable and had a little coquettish feeling. It was completely in line with his style and personality.

He first went back to his office and learned from Little Mei about his car having been towed away. He let out a casual hum, and then heard Little Mei say that she had reported this matter to Zhou Ting, his expression became a little gloomy. He turned around and ran towards Zhou Ting’s office immediately.

Zhou Ting heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him come in. She was asking for Chenguang Manager Fang’s number from the Marketing Department and wanted to call her to ask about the situation. Shao Boqing had already delivered himself to her office. Seeing that he was fine, Zhou Ting’s expression turned gloomy as well. She still remembered that she was left alone on the way by General Manager Shao last night!

It was rare for the two of them to meet without a smile. Zhou Ting stood up and greeted him according to the rules, then asked, “Boss Shao, what’s the matter?”

“Get me another secretary. This one won’t do!” Shao Boqing said.

“Last week, you praised her for her cleverness. Why can’t she do the job now?” Zhou Ting was puzzled. She had already changed a batch of secretaries for him. It was not easy for her to find someone that he was satisfied with. It had only been a few days, but he said that he was going to change another one again. Why was General Manager Shao so pernickety?

Shao Boqing then glanced at Zhou Ting’s computer and said, “She couldn’t handle my affairs on her own and just sought help from you. Is this kind of secretary qualified?”

On the computer were the photos of the place where Shao Boqing parked his car. Zhou Ting said, “Little Mei couldn’t find you, and you phone was off, so she…”

“Don’t give me any excuses. As a secretary, if she can’t distinguish between her boss’s business and personal matters, she won’t be qualified!” Shao Boqing’s tone was very tough.

Zhou Ting said, “I have changed all the qualified secretaries in the company for you. If you want me to change another one again, I can only recruit from outside. According to the company’s system, the external staff won’t come to the position so quickly, so Boss Shao, should you make do with this one for the next few days, alright? I’ll call the Personnel Department and ask them to work on this immediately. I’ll help you find a qualified secretary as soon as possible.”

Shao Boqing was silent for a while and said, “Then make it fast.”

Zhou Ting said okay. Shao Boqing turned around and walked to the door. He stopped and asked Zhou Ting, “Is your boss inside?”

“Yes, do you want to meet him, Boss Shao?” Zhou Ting picked up the phone and said, “Let me report to him.”

Normally, there was no need to report to Gu Nianbin. However, Zhou Ting still remembered what happened last night. She was afraid that the two’s conversation might get disagreeable. If they were to start a fight in the office, wouldn’t they be laughed at by the entire company? Boss Shao already had a lot to be laughed at, and she didn’t care about that, but her boss was always lofty and noble. He was like a god. How could such a big shot be laughed at by others? As a good secretary who did her duty, Zhou Ting felt that it was better to report to her boss in advance.

Shao Boqing did not say anything and stood there for the first time waiting for her to report.

Zhou Ting called in. Gu Nianbin’s voice sounded without any emotions. He said indifferently, “Let him in.”

Zhou Ting hung up the phone and said to Shao Boqing, “He told you to go in, Boss Shao.”

Shao Boqing nodded and silently entered Gu Nianbin’s office.

The two of them were about to fight last night. They met today as if nothing had happened. Shao Boqing casually sat on the chair as usual and said, “You didn’t do anything to Du Xiaoxian last night, did you?”

Gu Nianbin snorted coldly. Shao Boqing brought up Du Xiaoxian as soon as he entered the door. He didn’t even bother beating about the bush. He was really straightforward!

“Whether I did anything to her, did that have anything to do with you?”

“No.” Shao Boqing took out his cigarette case and threw one cigarette to Gu Nianbin. He also lit a cigarette for himself and had it in his mouth. He said, “She’s your woman. What does it have to do with me? I took care of her for your sake. Otherwise, why would I ride the roller coaster with her?”

As soon as he mentioned the roller coaster, Gu Nianbin remembered. His face gloomed and he said, “How dare you mention about the roller coaster? You pinched her hands so heavily that it left bruises. How did you have the heart to do that?!”

Shao Boqing was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect this and said, “She didn’t cry out or shout, I didn’t know!”

“You were already like that. Could you hear her calling?” Gu Nianbin said angrily.

Shao Boqing smiled. “I really didn’t know that Du Xiaoxian could endure the pain so much.”

Gu Nianbin’s eyes widened and he stared at him, “This time, she pleaded for you. I’ll let it pass. If there’s another time, don’t blame me for not showing you mercy.”

“No, no, there won’t be another time.” Shao Boqing hurriedly said. He knew Du Xiaoxian’s position in Gu Nianbin’s heart, and he would really turn hostile against him for her.

After a pause, he continued, “I didn’t mean for Xiaoxian to drink so much yesterday. She wasn’t in a good mood. Zhou Ting and I coaxed her for a long time, but she still looked sullen. When we had dinner, I saw that there was red wine, so I let her drink a little. After that, she was in a better mood. That’s why I took her to the KTV. I wanted her to have fun and relax. Her personality is actually quite lively. Especially after drinking wine, she was completely relaxed then. You didn’t see the way she was doing when she had fun… ”

“I saw it,” Gu Nianbin interrupted him, “why was she in a bad mood?”

“How would I know?” Shao Boqing thought for a moment and said, “She was fine at first, but after she came back from talking to you on the phone, she lost her vitality. Zhou Ting guessed that you two had a quarrel.”

“We didn’t quarrel.” Hearing Shao Boqing’s words, Gu Nianbin felt a little strange as well.

“Then it should be she was missing you. Thinking that you couldn’t play with her, she was upset.”

Was that so? Gu Nianbin took a puff of his cigarette and flicked the ashes. He said in a flat tone, “I will take care of her matters myself in the future, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

“I don’t want to take care of her matters,” Shao Boqing flicked the ashes as well, “who cares? I can’t even take care of my own business!”

“What’s wrong with your business?” Gu Nianbin asked.

Shao Boqing actually said it casually. When Gu Nianbin suddenly asked about it, he could not answer him. So he said somewhat angrily, “It’s none of your business!” As he spoke, he extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and left decidedly.

Zhou Ting sat nervously outside, afraid that there would be a quarrel inside. She quietly walked over to see through the door crack twice and saw that the two of them were sitting very gentlemanly. Their voices were not loud either, but she was still worried. Only when Shao Boqing walked out did she let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that Shao Boqing’s expression was very calm, she then boldly smiled and said, “Boss Shao, why did you park your car in front of Nina’s house last night?”

“Nina’s house?” Shao Boqing frowned slightly, as if he was puzzled. “Why should I go to her house? Besides, hasn’t she moved away?”

“That’s right, I also feel strange. I just saw the photos and was startled. The place where your car was towed away was right across from Nina’s house!”

“Is that so?” Shao Boqing bent down to look at the computer screen carefully and then said, “It really is. I was drunk last night, so I stopped the car randomly by the side of the road and took a taxi home. I really didn’t know where I parked the car if I didn’t look carefully just now.”

“That’s why I said it was best I sent you home last night. But you drove me out of the car halfway. The result was of course your car was towed.” Zhou Ting finally came to her point when speaking of this.

“Sorry, I’m sorry, Secretary Zhou.” At this time, Shao Boqing returned to his usual playful way of speaking and behaving. “I drank too much last night. Don’t take it to your heart. Next time, I’ll treat you to a meal as an apology!”

“Don’t just say it.” With this sentence, Zhou Ting was finally at ease in her heart.
