Flash Marriage with My Ex-Boyfriend’s Nemesis - Chapter 5.4

After shopping today, Shen Zhiqian did not come to pick her up, nor did he make a phone call. Ning Qingqing remembered that there seemed to be a similar situation before, and each time it was when Shen Zhiqian and his family had a gathering.

That night, she slept with no dreams1, Ning Qingqing first visited the client’s company the next day, so by the time she returned to the company it was almost noon.

The legal department she worked in was one floor below the CEO’s office. Ning Qingqing first went to her office to put away her bags and documents, picked up her phone, and wanted to see if Shen Zhiqian had sent her a message saying that they would have lunch together.

Her phone was clean, except for the ‘Good Morning’ routinely sent by Shen Zhiqian from this morning.

Ning Qingqing wasn’t sure if he had a business dinner or not. In the beginning, she wasn’t hungry, so she went to the tearoom2 planning to make a cup of tea first, put it in the refrigerator to cool down for a while and then add milk to drink it as milk tea.

Today, the office area was quiet, and her high heels were almost silent when walking on the carpet, so the two colleagues who were heating up their food in the tearoom did not notice Ning Qingqing’s arrival.

The whispered conversation broke into Ning Qingqing’s ears——

“Our company is going to change its spokesperson soon, did you know?”

“Ha, I was just about to mention this! That person even visited our CEO’s office today, and rumor has it that the contract will be settled in the next two days.”

“In such a hurry? Shouldn’t a spokesperson change need approval by the board of directors? I didn’t hear this news before!”

“Hehe, I heard it from the grapevine — this spokesperson is different because she is our CEO Shen’s ex-girlfriend!”

“What do you mean? CEO Shen has been with Ning Qingqing since high school, where did he find an ex-girlfriend?”

“I also heard people say that CEO Shen and that person were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. They were together earlier, and Ning Qingqing only met him after transferring schools. Supposedly, CEO Shen dated her only because that person went abroad. ”

“Good heavens, doesn’t that mean that the lady boss position might have a change of hands?”

“Not necessarily… Anyway, look, think about it, we are the contract department, so later when the endorsement is actually settled, the contract has to be sent to Ning Qingqing for review first!”

“Tsk tsk, it’s really a brutal battle3! I feel wronged on behalf of Ning Qingqing, what a slap in the face that would be!”

“Whether it’s a slap in the face or not depends on CEO Shen’s attitude. You know, although one is the former first love4; after all, it’s been so many years, only the heavens knows who’s living in CEO Shen’s heart now!”

“That’s true… anyways this has nothing to do with us, let’s just eat melons5!”

Just as the microwave ‘ding’ sounded, the food was already heated, and the two of them sat at the bar table with their lunch boxes and ate.

Outside, Ning Qingqing withdrew her steps expressionlessly, took her phone, and went to the elevator, ready to go out for lunch.

The elevator arrived soon. It wasn’t Shen Zhiqian’s exclusive elevator, but there were four people inside—

Shen Zhiqian, Shen Zhiqian’s father, Si Luoqing, and Si Luoqing’s manager.
