Chapter 266 Approaching the Center of Power

Zuo Ruxiu replied with a single word before quickly entering the office.

Bai Suxiang returned to the front desk and busied herself with other matters.

After returning to the office with the coffee Bai Suxiang had bought, Zuo Ruxiu began to search online for different types of coffee and what kind of coffee suited whom.

It was true that she was drinking coffee for the first time, but there was no rule stating she couldn't learn how to order coffee.

If you don't know, you can learn. It's no big deal.

The coffee Bai Suxiang bought was about what she had estimated. Although it was Chairman Cai who suggested having coffee, he hadn't told her the type, seemingly testing her intentionally.

These things were not difficult for Zuo Ruxiu, and certainly not for the expert behind her.

Soul Spirit Twelve followed Zuo Ruxiu closely. Bai Suxiang had no magical power and couldn't see it. For some reason, it could only be seen when Liu Sandao was present.

Liu Sandao had not been busy with anything these days. Although he was certain that something was about to happen, no one could predict what kind of blow it would deal to Cai Jinqu.

Bai Suxiang reported the daily situation to him one by one. Since it was too boring, he asked Bai Suxiang to only tell him about the unusual things.

Bai Suxiang thought for a moment and said, "There is one strange thing."

"Tell me about it!"

Bai Suxiang didn't speak but stretched out her palm towards Liu Sandao.

"What do you mean by this?"

Liu Sandao asked, looking at her as if he owed her something.

"Information fee! I'm working hard for you to gather intelligence every day, I should get paid!"

Bai Suxiang said seriously and earnestly.

"Didn't the company pay you? That's your job."

Liu Sandao also said very seriously.

This immediately shut down the conversation, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Bai Suxiang had originally intended to tease him and make a joke, but she didn't expect it to end this way.

"Alas! Forget it, let's talk about work matters!"

Bai Suxiang sighed and said.

"Something happened recently. An instruction suddenly came out in the office. Everyone who wants to talk business in the office must first get Zuo Ruxiu's permission. If she doesn't agree, no one can see Cai Rong."

"What's going on?" Liu Sandao was also very curious why this was the case.

Normally, Zuo Ruxiu had not been in the company for long and was not very familiar with the company's situation. Why would the boss entrust her with such an important task?

Even if the rumors about them were true, doing all this seemed a bit out of the ordinary.

"I don't know. Some people say that the boss's heart condition is actually quite serious, and the doctor ordered him to rest, which is why this happened."

"If his heart condition is serious, why not just not work?"

Liu Sandao said casually.

"Who's to say? But there might be deeper reasons." Bai Suxiang said calmly.

Liu Sandao bit his lip and remained silent.

Bai Suxiang mentioned another matter, which was probably the real cause of this incident.

On Tuesday morning, just as the company opened. Bai Suxiang was tidying up the front desk when Cai Jinqu entered the company.

"President Cai, good morning!"

Before Bai Suxiang could put down what she was holding, she greeted him.

Cai Jinqu nodded slightly, a smile flashing across his face.

He was dressed formally, and although he was slightly overweight, he was still reasonably fit.

After entering the company, he waited outside Cai Rong's office.

Normally, Cai Rong would enter his office punctually at nine-thirty in the morning. Whether by habit or coincidence, the time was always within three minutes.

In front of the office was the secretary's position.

Cai Rong originally had several assistants, but only one secretary was responsible for relaying messages, the position where Xiao Zhao worked.

Cai Jinqu, bored from waiting, casually flipped through some magazines on the secretary's desk.

Xiao Zhao hadn't arrived yet. Knowing President Cai's work hours, she always arrived at her desk ten minutes early.

"President Cai, good morning!"

As soon as Xiao Zhao entered the company, she saw Cai Jinqu sitting in her seat and hurriedly greeted him.

"Morning!"

Cai Jinqu looked up and saw Xiao Zhao. Realizing that his seat was a bit inappropriate, he said and stood up.

"Are you looking for Chairman Cai?"

To ease the awkwardness, Xiao Zhao asked.

"Mm."

Xiao Zhao looked at her watch and said, "Soon."

Cai Jinqu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Thump, thump, thump! Thump thump!"

A loud sound of leather shoes echoed from the company entrance.

Without looking, it was Zuo Ruxiu's high heels.

Since her position was rapidly elevated, the sound of her high heels seemed to have become her trademark.

As if announcing to the entire company: She has arrived, she has truly arrived, and she is here to show off.

Especially when following Cai Rong, people would see her when greeting Chairman Cai.

After many days of work, Zuo Ruxiu had adapted to her new identity and was even handling the role very well.

Even Soul Spirit Twelve marveled that such a position was tailor-made for her.

"You're here!"

Cai Rong saw Cai Jinqu and asked.

"Yes, Dad. Uh... Chairman Cai!" Cai Jinqu was so excited that he almost forgot the company rules.

In the past, when he saw his father, he was always cold-faced and rarely greeted him proactively. This time, his father actually initiated contact, which made Cai Jinqu extremely excited.

As he quickly turned to follow Cai Rong into the office, he stood next to Zuo Ruxiu.

Because he was slightly overweight, the office door was only 1.5 meters high. It was impossible for two people to enter at the same time. If they entered together, they would be caught in the door. Cai Jinqu preempted her, blocked Zuo Ruxiu for a moment, and slipped into the door.

Zuo Ruxiu was blocked and naturally displeased, giving Cai Jinqu a fierce glare.

Cai Jinqu didn't care about this. In his eyes, Zuo Ruxiu was just a secretary. Although there were rumors about her and his father, how could an outsider be more important than his own son?

Although they entered the office door one after another, Cai Rong glimpsed the scene where he was almost caught in the door out of the corner of his eye.

"How can this kid be so careless?"

He criticized himself inwardly.

"Chairman Cai, I have something to discuss with you!"

Cai Jinqu said, not forgetting to straighten his clothes.

Cai Rong had once said that the company should look like a company and that no one should be allowed to dress sloppily.

"What is it?"

Cai Rong asked.

Cai Jinqu did not answer immediately but glanced at Zuo Ruxiu, hoping she would be sensible and leave.

Zuo Ruxiu was Cai Rong's personal secretary, and she had to serve him by administering his medicine before work every day.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Cai Jinqu had to say to her, "Please excuse me, I have official business to discuss with Chairman Cai!"
