111: Chapter 111 The Daughter of Destiny? She's Got Her!
"President Qin, I didn't do it on purpose."
Bai Jing looked at Qin Ge, her face full of distress, feeling extremely terrified in her heart.
She knew. She knew the weight Lin Xiaojin held in Qin Ge's heart.
If the cake had been bought by Lin Xiaojin, there wouldn't be any need to be this scared.
But the key point was that this cake was handmade by Lin Xiaojin.
The significance was extraordinary.
She had ruined it.
Even if she wanted to make up for it, she couldn't.
Qin Ge pulled a long face, staring at Bai Jing with furrowed brows, and said coldly, "Does saying it wasn't on purpose make up for your mistake?"
"Do you know that Lin Xiaojin spent an entire night making this cake?"
Bai Jing opened her mouth and said aggrievedly, "I..."
"You what? If you feel you can't handle the position of secretary of the board, resign and get out! Don't cause trouble for me here!"
Qin Ge's cold scolding made Bai Jing's chest tremble.
Mu Xinyi, who was holding Qin Ge's arm on the side, saw this and gloated, "Exactly, exactly. As a secretary of the board, you can't even handle work matters. If you don't resign voluntarily, are you waiting to be fired?"
Qin Ge turned his head, glared at Mu Xinyi, pulled his arm away, and said with a straight face, "Are you in the right?"
"Before you came to the company, when did such a mess ever happen?"
"During peak office hours, you turned my company into a foul mess, and you still have the face to criticize others?"
"Get out!"
Mu Xinyi pursed her small lips and retorted, "I didn't sit on the cake."
Qin Ge glared and pointed to the door, "I said get out!"
Mu Xinyi shrank her neck in panic and said aggrievedly, "I'll get out then."
She left, looking back every few steps.
Seeing that Qin Ge kept a straight face, she wasn't sure if he was really angry.
Right now, she really had no confidence in front of Qin Ge.
On one hand, she was somewhat addicted to Qin Ge.
On the other hand, there was her substitute, Bai Jing, in Qin Ge's company.
If Qin Ge really didn't want to bother with her in the future, and he had Bai Jing to replace her by his side, what about her?
Having tasted Qin Ge, how would she go on living?
After Mu Xinyi left in a state of agitation, Qin Ge looked at the aggrieved Bai Jing.
Bai Jing bit her lip and said stubbornly, "I won't leave!"
"I am the secretary of the board!"
"If you want to fire me, you have to terminate the contract first!"
"Besides, I have a lot of work in my hands. If a newcomer comes, I still need to hand it over, otherwise, there will be mistakes in the work!"
"At least it will take two years to hand over!"
Qin Ge waved his hand, "Go back and reflect on yourself, and write me an eight-thousand-word self-criticism."
Bai Jing's eyes lit up. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile through her tears, "President Qin, you aren't driving me away anymore?"
Qin Ge kept a straight face, "It depends on your attitude in the self-criticism!"
Bai Jing hurriedly twisted her slender waist back to the office and said, "I'm going to write the self-criticism right now!"
It takes two to tango. That's why Qin Ge punished both of them equally.
Carrying the crushed cake, Qin Ge looked at Gao Ting and said, "When Xiao Jin comes back, tell her that I took the cake. She doesn't need to make it again, just come to Yunding Manor to find me tonight."
Watching Qin Ge's departing back, the group of male employees in the Operations and Maintenance Area were envious to the point of turmoil in their hearts.
Comparing people to people, it's infuriating.
Not to mention Mu Xinyi and Bai Jing, even if they had one-third of the looks of these two top-tier beauties, they would treasure them for fear that the other party would leave.
As a result, President Qin was different; he let out a burst of anger, and the originally jealous Mu Xinyi and Bai Jing immediately quieted down.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that President Qin was the dominant one.
"It's so good to be rich!" A male employee muttered sourly.
The female employees immediately snorted with dissatisfaction, "Rich?"
"The one wearing the floral cheongsam is called Mu Xinyi. She is the daughter of President Mu, the richest man in Yunhai City. She is currently serving as the president of the Mu Family Group company. She is the daughter of the richest man in Yunhai City; do you think she cares about money?!"
"When the secretary of the board, Bai Jing, applied for the job, the bag holding her resume was a limited edition Chanel. Just one bag is worth more than several years of her salary. She didn't come for the job at all; she came for President Qin himself. And since Bai Jing dares to go head-to-head with Young Miss Mu, her family background probably isn't bad either!"
"Only a man like President Qin can satisfy the fantasies of us face-control enthusiasts."
"However, to be able to make the eldest daughter of the Mu Family and Bai Jing fight for favor in front of so many people, I don't think looks alone are enough. Perhaps President Qin has special talents!"
...
That night, Yunding Manor.
In the dining room,
Qin Ge sat at the dining table, slurping homemade noodles, looking at Lin Xiaojin, who was resting her chin on her hand and staring at him eagerly, and couldn't help but praise, "Why are these noodles so chewy?"
Lin Xiaojin said with a smile in her eyes, "My mom taught me how to roll these noodles by hand last night, so they are chewier than the ones outside."
She looked at Qin Ge expectantly, her watery eyes shining as she asked, "Is it delicious?"
Qin Ge picked up a piece of green vegetable, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and nodded, "Delicious, these green vegetables are also fresher than the ones outside!"
"I grew them myself, too. I'll bring more of the vegetables I grew over in the future."
Seeing that the hand-rolled noodles were eaten clean by Qin Ge, without even leaving any green vegetables, Lin Xiaojin squinted her beautiful eyes, and a happy and satisfied smile always hung on her face.
Glancing at the cream foam on the cake box, Lin Xiaojin suddenly felt a bit low and muttered, "It's just the cake..."
Qin Ge had a smile on the corner of his mouth, staring at Lin Xiaojin sitting opposite him, and said, "I ate the cake."
Lin Xiaojin remembered that absurd scene just now and felt her face burning hot.
Qin Ge used to tease her, calling her a cream puff.
This time it really lived up to that saying!
And she was eaten clean!
Patting her hot cheeks, Lin Xiaojin's eyes lit up and she said, "How about I go buy another cake? Qin Ge, make a wish. You definitely have to make a wish on your birthday."
Qin Ge got up, walked to Lin Xiaojin's side, blew a puff of hot air into her ear, and said, "My wish is for you to stay by my side from now on, to be a capable little cook. Also, tonight I want to test in the kitchen whether this little cook can..."
Lin Xiaojin shrank her neck shyly, her watery eyes looking around.
Qin Ge said softly to reassure her, "There is no one else here."
Lin Xiaojin lowered her head, falling into silence.
It seemed she was doing psychological preparation.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she got up, walked to the kitchen, and faced Qin Ge, fulfilling his wish.
She felt that she was somewhat shameless like this.
She also felt that she was not reserved, and it didn't quite match the two-person world she had imagined in her mind.
However, she didn't know what was going on, even though Qin Ge's request made her embarrassed and hard for her to accept in her heart.
She couldn't bring herself to refuse.
Instead, she would increasingly adapt to Qin Ge.
After all, falling in love is a matter for two people, and it requires mutual adjustment.
Why could Qin Ge consider things for her, but she couldn't consider things for Qin Ge?
If it was Qin Ge, then... it was okay!
Just as Lin Xiaojin was about to take off her apron, Qin Ge hurriedly walked up, pressed her little hand on the apron, and said playfully, "What I want is a little cook in an apron!"
"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Lin Xiaojin's emotional value fluctuates violently. Reward Host with villain points + 520!"
"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Lin Xiaojin is out of control emotionally. Reward Host with villain points + 520 * 2!"
Outside the manor, the sky was getting darker.
Qin Ge heard the lonely, hesitant footsteps outside the house and wondered, "Coming again?"
When they said they wouldn't be proactive, they weren't.
Once they became proactive, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
The competition here hadn't ended yet, and the next contestant was already impatient to enter the venue?
