Hlio Cheng was a member of Shangxia’s government. He was very busy with work and rarely participated in social gatherings. Qiao You’an was the one responsible for the Huo family’s external relations. On the rare occasion when Htio Cheng had time, he would accompany his wife.

Lin Xiaowan imagined that if Huo Cheng was here with Huo Zheng today, everyone would toast them and bow respectfully as they called out, “Master Huo, Second Master Huo!”

Lin Xiaowan found it very strange.

Lin Xiaowan and Huo Zheng did not plan to stay for long. After speaking to the head of the Bai family, they were ready to leave.

When they walked to the garden in front, Lin Xiaowan saw Cheng Ruitong talking to someone. The other party, whose head was lowered like a quail, seemed to be an assistant or secretary. All in all, the duo’s expressions did not seem too good at this moment.

Cheng Ruitong also did not expect to run into Lin Xiaowan here. She was briefly stunned. When she recovered, she adjusted her expression and took a deep breath. After that, she called out, “Xiaowan.¹¹

The other party, who was being reprimanded after making a mistake earlier, did not even dare to breathe loudly. Although he was a grown man, he felt like he was going to cry from being scolded. He was slightly curious when he heard that his boss’ wife had become less cold. As such, he snuck a glance to see who the other person was. No matter who it was, he felt extremely grateful.

When Cheng Ruitong scolded someone, there was no fluctuation in her tone as well. However, it was this lack of fluctuation that made her scary. It was as though the other party was going to be dismissed and kicked out like trash in the next moment, unable to see the sun again.

At this moment, Huo Zheng had walked away to answer a work call.

“Am I disturbing you?”‘ Lin Xiaowan asked hesitantly.

“No,” Cheng Ruitong said before she glanced at her employee, whom she thought was dumb, and decided to let him off for now. She said, “Correct your mistakes. 1 want to see the amended work tomorrow.”

The employee felt as though he had been pardoned. He could not react for a while, stunned.

Is she going to let me off just like this?”

He sighed in relief inwardly before he said, “Yes.”

Cheng Ruitong warned coldly, “If you make such a low-level mistake again, your position will be given to another person.”

“There won’t be a next time. Don’t worry, President Cheng. I admit this was my mistake so please deduct my salary this month,” the employee said. He was not unwilling at all. To be fair, although the work could sometimes be difficult and time-consuming, it was pretty good to work for Cheng Ruitong.

Although Cheng Ruitong was aloof and taciturn, she was very easy to talk to most of the time. Unless one crossed the line, most of the time the employees would only be reprimanded and punished fairly if they made a mistake. However, it had to be said that Cheng Ruitong was very scary when she was reprimanding her employees.

Most importantly, Cheng Ruitong paid her employees well. Naturally, it was also because of their capabilities that they were paid well.

Upon hearing her employee’s humble words, Cheng Ruitong frowned slightly and said, “No need.”

The employee still wanted to insist, but when he saw the annoyance and impatience in his boss’ eyes and the young woman standing at the side, he felt like his presence was quite redundant. In the end, he decided it was best for him to leave immediately and work overtime to correct his mistake.

Before leaving, he snuck a look at the fairy-like woman who had saved him, but when he had a good look, he exclaimed in surprise. He had seen her before. In the end, he could not help but ask, “You’re the employee from the dessert shop?”

Lin Xiaowan did not expect the other party to recognize her. She said, “Yes…” “I see. Your desserts are really too delicious! My wife and daughter love them! They say that your dessert shop is the best in Sheng]ing,” the employee said. He was actually a loyal customer.

The employee sighed as he continued to say, “My wife often laments the fact that your dessert shop doesn’t do delivery. She said that your business would be even better if you did that.”

Indeed, although it was a little troublesome, the dessert shop’s business would be even better if they provided delivery service. However, the patissiers were already very busy. If they offered delivery service as well, the patissiers would be very tired. Moreover, they did not lack profit. In short, Zhu Yingyue felt that it was unnecessary.

Lin Xiaowan was very warm and friendly when faced with customers who simply liked the desserts and had no ulterior motives. As such, she explained the situation a little to the employee.

The employee expressed his understanding, and just as he was about to speak again, he noticed his boss’ expression had gradually darkened. With that, he immediately said goodbye and ran off.

‘That was a life-or-death moment! My life is more important than desserts!’

“It’s so late, but you’re still dealing with work matters,” Lin Xiaowan said. At the same time, she thought to herself, It’s really not easy being a big boss. Huo Zheng’s the same. He’s always busy dealing with all kinds of things.’

Cheng Ruitong replied, “It was an emergency. He made a mistake at work.”

Cheng Ruitong s tone softened a lot when she spoke to Lin Xiaowan. However, her face was still expressionless. Many people were afraid of her because of this and assumed she was very arrogant, bur this was not the case at ail.

After a moment, Cheng Ruitong added, “I haven’t had the time to visit your shop, but my assistant bought the desserts for me a few times. They were delicious.”

Lin Xiaowan was a little surprised. Previously, Cheng Ruitong had sent a gift through her friend during the opening ceremony. She had sent a message to express her gratitude and did not have any contact with Cheng Ruitong after that. She assumed that Cheng Ruitong did not like desserts. She had once suspected this was a commonality between CEOs and presidents; they did not like sweet things.

“Oh, you should’ve told me! I would’ve sent you more,” Lin Xiaowan said. Then, a hint of complaint could be heard in her voice as she continued to say, “I sent you a message before, but you didn’t reply. I thought you didn’t like desserts.”

Cheng Ruitong did not have any impression of this so she brought her phone out to have a look. Indeed, Lin Xiaowan had sent her messages.

[Lin Xiaowan: I’ve received your gift! Thank you!]

I Lin Xiaowan: Also, I’ve received the perfume your friend made! I tried it out! It’s really fragrant, and I really like it! ]

Apart from that, Lin Xiaowan also sent two photos to accompany the messages.

Seeing that the messages were sent quite a while ago, Cheng Ruitong said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I was very busy that day. 1 probably forgot about them because I didn’t reply immediately.”

Lin Xiaowan hurriedly said, ’ It’s okay, it’s okay. There’s no need to say sorry. This is a very, very small matter..”
