Perhaps I should have discovered this earlier

“Yes, I know what your mother did in the past was wrong. I didn't expect Xia Wan to be so bold! Now we absolutely won't let you have anything to do with Xia Wan again, but Xu Qinghuan can't enter the...Chapter 889 Perhaps I Should Have Discovered This Earlier

When Xu Qinghuan left the Fu Group, she thought she would never step foot inside again.

As a result, in the end, there are still countless connections to this place.

"Let's talk in my office The conference room is empty."

Following Ms. Lin, Xu Qinghuan nodded and said, "Good."

When I was studying with Secretary Lin before, Miss Xu Qinghuan often came to his office, so I was quite familiar with the environment and felt less constrained.

After entering the room, he poured her a cup of warm water and then glanced at the bag in Xu Qinghuan's hand.

What's inside It looks really heavy.

Some drinks I bought at the supermarket.

"Oh What did you buy Is it good I was thinking of buying something to drink too!"

Lin's secretary showed great interest in her bag.

Xu Qinghuan felt a little embarrassed, as if she had been too stingy. She quickly took it out and showed him, "Look, whatever you want to drink, just take it."

She thought that since it was mostly juice and only two bottles of beer, Secretary Lin, who was always so dedicated to her work, probably wouldn't take them.

"

This looks pretty good to drink!

"

"

“Lin secretary isn’t going to work That’s alcohol.”

"

"You're telling me! I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Well, I was thinking of having a few drinks tonight anyway, so thank you, Mr. Xu." Secretary Lin said as she put the beer directly on his seat.

Actually, by this point in the story, Xu Qinghuan wanted to play dumb. But his act was truly terrible.

That bottle clearly said "pure wheat brewed beer", and then he said he couldn't tell it was alcohol

Perhaps I should have figured that out earlier!

From the moment supermarkets started limiting alcohol sales, it should have been clear.

"Ms. Lin, actually... there aren't really any problems with the project, are there"

Of course!

"Why were you speaking so urgently, yet after entering the office your mind was solely focused on those two bottles of wine in my hand"

Lin's secretary's face flashed a hint of guilt, her mind racing.

"Mr. Xu wouldn't think I went to all this trouble to bring you back to the company just for two bottles of wine, would he Of course, I have project-related matters to discuss with you! Look at these—"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the document on the table and pointed to a line of text on it with a serious expression.

Xu Qinghuan twitched her lips and stared at him without blinking, "That might be me overthinking it. I can answer your questions about the project, but could you return those two cans of beer to me I want to drink tonight, but I only managed to buy these two. If Secretary Lin wants some, I'll buy you more tomorrow."

"Oh, this..."

"So, to put it plainly, you still want the beer, don't you" Xu Qinghuan's tone turned sharp, her voice dropping low. "Or is it that someone behind you wants you to find me and get those two cans of beer."

"No, really not..."

Xu Qinghuan frowned, a feeling she couldn't describe in her heart.

A suffocating pain, gradually spreading.

Lin Secretary, I know you're in a difficult position. You have to do what he tells you to do, it's your duty. It has nothing to do with you personally. I'm not saying any of this because of you.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. "Please tell him that I'm sorry for calling him when I was drunk. It was wrong of me, and I sincerely apologize. I promise it will never happen again." anything.Fu Yan stood up and hugged Xu Qinghuan from behind, "Awake Are you hungry""That's fine." Xu Qinghuan didn't have a big appetite to begin with, she could last a long time just eating a little...
