Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 450 - 4: The Boss and the Secretary

The boss probably just finished exercising, covered in sweat as he opened the door, expressionless, then turned back inside without any change in expression.

It seemed like what he saw before didn’t cause him any emotional reaction at all.

Qu Fulan: Worrying for nothing, hehe.

As expected of a millennial iceberg, he just had a slightly odd expression seeing such a scene. If it were another man, he probably would have had a nosebleed.

The subsequent project talks were very successful.

Then the boss had to meet some local friends.

As businessmen, their social connections are naturally extensive, and it’s common to engage in social activities, but at President Pei’s level, it’s usually others seeking him out, and he decides whether to go.

This time he went, and Qu Fulan naturally followed. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The entertainment among the wealthy is beyond what ordinary people can imagine; this time, they were meeting friends on a cruise ship.

Qu Fulan, having mingled with the boss, had seen a lot, and wouldn’t be as startled as before.

But others seeing her were indeed startled.

"Long time no see, Secretary Qu has gotten even prettier." A laid-back young master whistled at her.

This person was one of the boss’s friends, named Zhou Zhongquan, known as Young Master Zhou. His carefree personality was starkly opposite to the boss.

No one knows how they became friends, since their interests are entirely different. One is a workaholic, even now on the cruise ship he’s calmly working on his laptop, while Young Master Zhou is hanging around the beauties. The four beauties by his side were all brought by him.

Indeed, Young Master Zhou’s greatest pleasure is flirting with women.

As long as she’s pretty, even if she’s married, he wants to flirt a little. Encountering someone like Qu Fulan, who’s a top beauty even in entertainment circles, how could he not be amazed? He had initial designs on her, but was skillfully deflected by Qu Fulan.

Young Master Zhou was aware she wasn’t someone he could easily woo, but upon meeting again, he couldn’t help but tease her with a few words.

Qu Fulan isn’t the type to get upset over a couple of teasing remarks; she’s not so petty.

While Pei Ji’an was working on the side, Qu Fulan was already mingling with everyone else.

The games wealthy people play are not much different, just in more upscale settings. Activities like Truth or Dare, poker, dice, mahjong, etc.

Qu Fulan was familiar with these games, playing them with ease.

In fact, she’s somewhat skilled in some games, easily crushing the competition.

Today it was mahjong; she was essentially playing on behalf of the boss. If she lost, it counted against the boss; if she won, it counted for her. It’s always been this way.

Young Master Zhou actually never gave up, always looking for an opportunity to take advantage of her verbally, while Qu Fulan mercilessly obliterated him at the mahjong table.

Even though Young Master Zhou was wealthy, losing money never brings happiness. In these scenarios, stakes double, making losses painful, and he pleaded for mercy, begging Secretary Qu to let him off the hook. His pleas were futile, so he turned to Pei Ji’an for help.

Pei Ji’an had just finished working, closed his laptop, saw Qu Fulan had won a heap and faced Zhou Zhongquan’s request for help, his response was simple: "You bet, you pay."

Young Master Zhou found no relief, on the verge of tears, realizing only now the regret of his loose tongue, occasionally teasing her, now being utterly humiliated.

Regarding Pei Ji’an’s indifferent stance, he had no complaints, nor dared to have any.

In their circle, there are levels, with Pei Ji’an at the top level, and Young Master Zhou didn’t dare antagonize him.

Whether daring to antagonize him is secondary; mainly, this man’s willpower is too strong. Having such a stunning beauty by his side and remaining indifferent; if a man like this can’t achieve something, who can?

If Qu Fulan was Pei Ji’an’s type, Young Master Zhou wouldn’t dare hit on her; as the saying goes, never mess with friends’ wives. Only because Pei Ji’an was uninterested did Zhou want to make a move, although he failed in the end, and would still try if given the chance.

Few men can resist such beauty.

Seeing many men on the cruise ship frequently glancing over was proof of Qu Fulan’s allure.

But for her to become Pei Ji’an’s secretary, she wasn’t just anyone; she wouldn’t go to someone just because they beckoned her over. Yet, her aloofness only stirs men’s desire to conquer; otherwise, women who follow immediately when beckoned offer no challenge, hence lack interest.

Qu Fulan is fully aware of her attractiveness, not just her face but her figure as well, so even after rejecting them clearly, the suitors she meets always keep pestering her with calls and texts.

The last suitor who asked if she was a virgin ended up not caring anymore, saying it was okay if she wasn’t, he didn’t mind.

Ha, he doesn’t mind, but she does.

With her looks and skills, she naturally has the confidence, but where do men with ordinary appearances get the confidence that she would like them? Just because he doesn’t mind, should she be grateful?

Then another friend arrived, known as Young Master Yang, who was also interested in women like Young Master Zhou, and initially fancied Qu Fulan. He tried flirting but, being more sensible than Zhou, when unable to succeed, chose to stop teasing her.

Though many were interested in Qu Fulan, she’d rather go on blind dates than choose these men; she was aware of her own worth. Marriages in wealthy families are hardly casual affairs.

Take Young Master Yang for example; he also needed to go on blind dates, pursuing those of equal status beneficial to his resources.

As for Young Master Zhou, his family directly arranged a fiancée for him, even though he didn’t like her, he didn’t dare rebel, for rebelling would mean being kicked out of the social circle. Without this status, who is he?

These men are quite clear about what they want; playing around outside is one thing, but what they bring home depends on family approval.

Unless you’re powerful enough to control your family’s fate, only then can you decide your own marriage. Up to now, Qu Fulan has only seen one such person: her boss.

But this man is very indifferent, uninterested in women, which is baffling.

While pondering over this, someone introduced another match for her.

Qu Fulan naturally wouldn’t refuse, she asked for a general background and set a meeting time.

Since it was leisure time and not work hours, Qu Fulan didn’t feel the need to keep it private from anyone.

Blind dating is quite normal, yet somehow it spread around who knew how, and upon hearing that Miss Qu was going on a blind date, everyone couldn’t help but make a fuss.

Zhou Shaoyang came before her dramatically, beating his chest in regret, wishing he could personally be her match, and inquired who her suitor was, wanting to vet him on her behalf.

Qu Fulan quickly dismissed them with a few words.

Others asking about her blind date were just enjoying the drama, more seeking gossip, and planning sabotage, displaying jealousy and childishness.

Then even the successful yet cold boss asked.

"You’re going on a blind date?"

"Yeah."

"With whom?"

"..." Why does it sound like a work inquiry? This is my personal matter, right?
