Chapter 10 — Treat You Well
When Qin Jiran arrived, Zang Zhong happened to be leaving Su Yanyi's office. He wasn't surprised to see Qin Jiran and immediately asked, "Mr. Qin, are you here to find me, or President Su? We're both free."
For some reason, Qin Jiran was feeling paranoid and thought that Kang Zhong was mocking him, but Qin Jiran never failed to present himself as an expressionless person, and this time was no exception. Very coolly, he asked, "I'm looking for President Su. Is she in?"
As always, the way he addressed Su Yanyi was clear-cut. Only under two circ.u.mstances would he call her by name: when they were alone, and when they were with the Su family.
Otherwise, he would refer to her as "President Su." Even though Kang Zhong was already aware of the two's relations.h.i.+p, since they were currently at the company, Qin Jiran made sure to maintain a certain distance from Su Yanyi.
"She is. Please come in," Zang Zhong laughed and made a "welcome in" gesture.
However, Qin Jiran stayed where he was and insisted, "Help me notify her first."
This wasn't his first time waiting outside Su Yanyi's office to see her, and he'd been turned away before. Although he wasn't sure why Kang Zhong was allowing him in so easily, he still made sure to be careful.
Kang Zhong had the intention to refuse, but after seeing how persistent Qin Jiran was being, he wordlessly re-entered the office and then quickly came out again.
"Mr. Qin, please go in."
Qin Jiran nodded and took two steps forward before stopping to say, "Brother Kang, you're my agent now. If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name."
The relations.h.i.+p between the two men had always been a distant one, but Kang Zhong was now Qin Jiran's agent, and Qin Jiran felt that the distance was a bit inappropriate. Moreover, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but Kang Zhong's att.i.tude towards him seemed to have changed; it became a lot more respectful, for some reason.
"Yes. Jiran, please go in." Kang Zhong didn't reject and called him by name, but his att.i.tude was still just as respectful.
This was probably why Kang Zhong was able to become one of Su Yanyi's trusted subordinates. The man always knew his place.
Following that, Qin Jiran entered Su Yanyi's office. Her office was very s.p.a.cious, and the color scheme was a relatively bright one. The design was simple yet exquisite.
