Chapter 103 Suspense Line 1
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
You touched your chin and said, "It's nothing."
"Why don't you bring your 'family member' along? Perfect, we can help you assess them. The public has discerning eyes; we'll have to put them to the test eventually." Tao Tao said expectantly.
"Um... he's quite busy with work and isn't in Lingkong City these days. I'll ask him later." You awkwardly laughed and used this excuse to reassure Tao Tao.
"Then it's settled, and don't forget."
Before leaving, Tao Tao made sure to confirm with you again and again.
"I know, I know."
Friday, team building activity.
"Our operations department must have plenty of funding to be able to hold a team-building event at such an expensive resort hotel." Tao Tao looked around at the luxurious hotel.
You and several colleagues are captivated by the hotel's buffet area, where a dazzling array of delicious food awaits.
Liu Yi looked at the plate in your hand and said, "Why are you just focused on eating? Is this fruit platter really that delicious?"
"This fruit platter is really good, especially fresh. I'll eat some watermelon to soothe my throat. I haven't been to a karaoke bar since I came here. I started practicing the day Tao Tao told me. I'm definitely going to show you all my skills today." You said confidently.
"You like singing? I've never heard you mention it before."
You're very familiar with this voice.
You were startled and turned around abruptly to find Qin Che, dressed in a suit and tie, standing right behind you.
"What are you doing here! When did you get back!"
Your eyes lit up with surprise, but you quickly suppressed it in the next instant.
"Didn't you say you came for team building and wanted to surprise me? Are you happy to see me?" Qin Che said casually, but his words sent chills down your spine.
You quickly lowered your voice: "I think you're trying to scare me to death. You knew it was a team building activity, why did you still come?"
"The hotel is in the business of welcoming guests, so there's nothing wrong with me being here."
While the two of you were whispering to each other, your colleagues had already glanced at you and Qin Che twice, their faces showing gossipy smiles.
Tao Tao was the first to step forward and stop you: "And who is this?"
You laughed somewhat awkwardly: "Um...yes, a friend of mine."
You desperately tried to wink at Qin Che, but Qin Che just smiled calmly.
"Sorry, I couldn't come out to say hello when you came to deliver the computer to her last time."
Tao Tao gasped in shock.
This guy! He really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topic!
You glared at him, but he returned a smile that couldn't be more "friendly".
"No, it's alright, no need to be so polite..." Tao Tao instantly realized who the person in front of her was. Recalling the confident words she had spoken to him before, she felt a little guilty and dared not look him in the eye.
She subtly nudged you: "Didn't you say your family member had something come up and you couldn't come...?"
"I'm just as confused as you are!"
You cover your face; you really didn't know he would come today.
Qin Che, however, accurately captured two words: family members.
He had a smile on his face, looking like he was in a very good mood.
At this moment, Liu Yi also joined in: "Since we're friends, let's play together. It's more fun with more people."
You're still a little worried. What if a colleague recognizes him? "Maybe we should just let it go... He's a bit introverted and doesn't adapt well to environments with lots of strangers."
Still not giving up, you wink wildly at Qin Che, hoping he'll obediently cooperate.
