Chapter 1020: Chapter 603: Young Master Xiaowu Steals the Spotlight—After Losing, Is He Trying to Flirt Again? (Part 3)When she arrived at the club’s lounge, Qi Zeyan was sitting on the sofa, drinking black tea and eating muffins.

Xiaozhu was standing by his side and smiled with a nod when he saw Ruan Mengxi.

”Second boss.” She smiled at Qi Zeyan.

Inside the club, the heating was on. Ruan Mengxi was wearing a light sweater dress that complemented her skin tone, paired with high heels, making her look dazzlingly radiant.

”I’ve been too busy lately, haven’t been managing the club’s affairs. Tell me about the recent trial operations.” Qi Zeyan said, lowering his head to sip tea, looking as if he was truly inspecting the work.

”Okay.” Ruan Mengxi nodded, walked over to sit opposite him, and started discussing.

When it comes to car racing, Jiang Chengsi is skilled. But in terms of management, Qi Zeyan is the expert.

So halfway through her explanation, Qi Zeyan had already pointed out several suggestions.

”Please wait a moment, let me jot that down.” Ruan Mengxi quickly sat on the sofa to the side and started taking notes.

”For registering members, it shouldn’t be so rigid. They’re not just paying for entertainment, they’re buying our service. I just experienced a round when I came in, the service awareness needs improvement...”

Qi Zeyan’s work demeanor is always serious. Even though it wasn’t at his own company or in a meeting room, his expression was a bit lazy, yet he was dressed sharply and professionally.

There was a lethal sense of precision and restraint about him.

While Ruan Mengxi was writing, Qi Zeyan took a sip of his tea, but his gaze remained fixed on her. He always knew she was beautiful, but it didn’t hit as strongly when she was by his side.

Now, she was like a vibrant summer flower, dazzling and captivating.

”Second boss, about the expenditures you mentioned, I’ll need to discuss it with Master Si...” Ruan Mengxi looked up just in time to meet his gaze.

He was staring right at her.

Her heart skipped a beat, while Qi Zeyan casually flashed her a smile, as if inviting her to admire him.

Ruan Mengxi quickly regained her composure and continued taking notes.

Xiaozhu stood beside them, suddenly feeling quite out of place here.

Could these two be exchanging intimate glances?

Today, there were supposed to be other plans, but Qi Zeyan suddenly declared he wanted to visit the club, making his intentions clear to even a fool.

However, he indeed had other arrangements and didn’t stay long. Ruan Mengxi even thoughtfully saw him to his car, watching him leave.

”Assistant Ruan, you scared me. It’s my first time seeing Young Master Qi.” The young girl at the front desk was underage and quite pretty.

She started working only when the club’s trial operations began, and it was also Qi Zeyan’s first visit since then, so naturally her first time meeting him.

”But Young Master Qi doesn’t seem as scary as imagined. When I brought him tea, he even thanked me.”

”Mainly because he’s so handsome. Assistant Ruan, when will Young Master Qi come back?”

...

Which young girl doesn’t fancy a handsome and wealthy man? Ruan Mengxi laughed, ”Men like that, just admire from a distance, definitely don’t fall for them.”

”We’re just looking anyway, couldn’t match him even if we wanted to.” They liked him, but had the wisdom to know fairytale dreams of marrying into wealth rarely come true in reality.

”No one is inherently unworthy of another, it’s just that he, as a person, is not great!” Ruan Mengxi clicked her tongue.

”Not great?”

The young girls wanted to ask more, but Ruan Mengxi had already turned back to her office, focusing on Qi Zeyan’s suggestions.

Someone who gets drunk and tries to take advantage of others can hardly be a good person!

Yet saying he ’isn’t great’ led the young girls to interpret it another way.

”Was Assistant Ruan saying Young Master Qi isn’t good at certain... things?”

”She used to work with Young Master Qi, so her words are likely true.”

”Isn’t there a rumor about Young Master Qi and Master Si? That ’ship’ is super popular.”

”So maybe he’s not good with women?”

...

Ruan Mengxi had no idea that her casual remark had completely tarnished Qi Zeyan’s reputation.

Meanwhile, Qi Zeyan, after seeing Ruan Mengxi today, although there for work discussions, felt quite delightful about their conversation.

”Xiaozhu.”

”Boss, what are your orders?”

”How much do you know about her, since she’s been working under you?”

Xiaozhu gripped the steering wheel.
