As noon approached, drawing near the end of the workday, the Party Committee department in a certain district of Chaoyang was abuzz with year-end summaries, with everyone fully occupied.
Inside the three-story office building, people came and went, cars arrived and departed, creating a scene of bustling activity.
"Zimo, come help me out. Once we print this batch of documents, we can go eat together!"
A lively and adorable girl, carrying a stack of thick documents, called out to Yang Zimo, who was near the corner by the wall.
"Coming!"
Yang Zimo stood up and skillfully took a portion of the documents. The two young girls then went to the printer together and began their work.
While printing, Yang Zimo and the cute girl discussed what to have for lunch.
"Zimo, I heard from a colleague yesterday that the duck noodle soup place next door has opened. How about we go there? I heard it tastes pretty good!"
"Sure!"
Yang Zimo readily agreed.
About ten minutes later, all the documents were printed. The two girls left the office together, chatting and laughing along the way.
One was elegant and refined, the other cute and lively. They were quite eye-catching walking together, and many colleagues greeted them with warm smiles.
Beautiful girls are always welcome wherever they go, especially someone like Yang Zimo, who had astonished the entire unit from the moment she arrived.
However, what was rather strange was that these two beautiful girls weren't invited to lunch by any male colleagues or other men.
The reason was simple: Yang Zimo had arrived with their Party Secretary, and the two of them were very close. This relationship alone deterred many who might have harbored intentions.
There were exceptions, of course. Because Yang Zimo was so beautiful, her reputation spread not only throughout the unit but also to people in other departments and from outside.
Occasionally, a few wealthy second-generation individuals driving luxury cars would come to the unit, loitering around.
As soon as the two girls stepped out of the main entrance, Su Xuan, the adorable girl walking beside Yang Zimo, spotted a "Tiger Head Benz" parked at the entrance.
Beside the Tiger Head Benz stood a handsome and distinguished young man. Not far from him, a middle-aged man, who looked like a driver and bodyguard, was standing.
"How boring. These idle rich kids, relying on their money, spending their days looking for amusement and playing with people's feelings!"
"Zimo, let's just go. Don't pay attention to these boring people!"
Su Xuan glanced at the Tiger Head Benz and immediately said to Yang Zimo beside her.
This kind of thing had happened countless times. Each time, these idle individuals left dejected because Yang Zimo, being so aloof, would send them away with a single glance.
But something astonishing happened. As she finished speaking, Yang Zimo, who was usually indifferent to these bothersome individuals, stopped this time. A hint of surprise flickered across her delicate, picturesque face as she stared fixedly at the young man beside the Tiger Head Benz.
Su Xuan noticed Yang Zimo's unusual expression. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the tall, handsome young man beside the Tiger Head Benz stride towards them with his long legs.
An undisguised excitement showed in his eyes.
"Zimo, is he..."
Su Xuan, sensing that something was amiss, instinctively asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Mo!"
Just then, the young man stopped, his gaze fixed on Yang Zimo's face. The depths of his pitch-black eyes held immense excitement and fervent longing.
"How did you find me here?"
Seeing Qin Chuan suddenly appear before her, Yang Zimo took a deep breath and regained her composure.
"Of course, I inquired about it myself," Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"Xiao Mo, you made me search for so long. You just left without a word..."
Yang Zimo remained silent.
Su Xuan, standing beside them, had already sensed that the young man who had appeared this time was no ordinary person. Judging by their expressions and demeanor, there was a significant story between them.
Could this man be Yang Zimo's boyfriend?
No wonder Yang Zimo had always been indifferent to those tiresome suitors from outside; she already had a boyfriend.
Hmm, he does look quite good. He's a good match for Yang Zimo.
But, the more I look at him, the more familiar he seems. It's like I've seen him somewhere before.
"I came straight here after a meeting at the lab this morning. I'm so hungry. Are you guys going out to eat? Count me in!" Qin Chuan said to Yang Zimo.
Yang Zimo's expression remained cool, but Su Xuan quickly responded, "Yes, yes! Handsome guy, let's go together, but you're treating!"
Qin Chuan grinned, "Of course, no problem! Hello, my name is Qin Chuan."
"I'm Su Xuan, Zimo's colleague!" Su Xuan acted very lively.
Yang Zimo snorted and started walking away.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan winked at Su Xuan and quickly followed.
As for Zheng Chengdao, he trailed behind, acting like a nobody.
Following Yang Zimo, the group arrived at the duck noodle soup place. It was crowded, and the business was unexpectedly good.
This was the time to act. Qin Chuan directly took responsibility for buying the food, telling Yang Zimo and Su Xuan to wait for seats. Yang Zimo didn't refuse.
"Zimo, is he... really your boyfriend?"
At a table in the back, Su Xuan sat with Yang Zimo.
Watching Qin Chuan queue up, Su Xuan's face was full of gossip.
Yang Zimo didn't speak, but her attitude was enough to confirm the answer.
Su Xuan became even more curious, clicking her tongue, "Wow, this guy is really lucky! To be liked by you, Zimo. If this gets back to the unit, the hearts of those guys there will surely shatter."
"Hey, tell me, how did you two get together?"
"And what's going on now? Are you having a tiff?"
Yang Zimo was annoyed by her questions and said helplessly, "Yes, we're having a tiff!"
"Help me send him back. I don't want to see that guy!"
Su Xuan: "..."
"Excuse me, two beauties! Move aside! Your duck noodle soup is here!"
Just then, Qin Chuan, who had been queuing for food, arrived with a full plate of delicacies. The steaming duck noodle soup looked very appetizing.
It also included various snacks, exceptionally rich.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside chicken patties, beef patties, and various braised dishes.
"Wow, this tastes really good!"
After taking a bite, Su Xuan's eyes lit up. Yang Zimo also nodded slightly.
Qin Chuan brought a stool and sat down. He didn't dare to ask Ms. Yang any direct questions, but he could employ a flanking strategy. In just a few sentences, he had Su Xuan laughing heartily.
Before long, he had gleaned much useful information from Su Xuan.
Seeing this scene, Yang Zimo couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
