"Tao, can you get me some coffee?" Xiao Long asked. How could he not? All this time, Tao had been doing was standing, like a statue, and listening to the debate between a husband and wife like a mosquito.
Tao finally nodded as well, and it was better to obey than to see Qiao Xin and Xiao Long fighting over a matter that didn't matter at all.
"Alright, Young Mr. Han," Tao decided to leave with a smile himself. It was nice to see Xiao Long being close to women. Close is not just to sleep together but close in the sense of being near from the heart to a woman. A thing that the cold Xiao Long hardly ever did, and with Qiao Xin, he did it perfectly. Tao looked very grateful, and he felt that what Xiao Chuan had said was true. Although now or at first both Xiao Long and Qiao Xin hated each other, somehow seeing the two of them immediately could judge if the two of them were a very compatible couple who in the future if they didn't keep raising their egos, they would be happy forever. Yes, Tao also hopes that his boss can be satisfied with his wife. That is the prayer of the Tao today.
On the other hand, Mei seemed to be sneaking around, looking at Xiao Long's tightly closed room. She was very curious about the figure of her best friend who was there, was her best friend being given an award, or something else?
Mei's mind was disturbed by the embroidery of the embroidery H on the collar of the shirt. On the sleeves of Xiao Long's shirt, twice Mei met Xiao Long at the company, twice also all Xiao Long's different shirts had the same embroidery, and Mei sure if any clothing does not own the embroidery.
"Ehm, Brother Tao?" called Mei, who was currently busy making coffee. Tao glanced at Mei, then he cleared his throat and shifted his stance a step because he was too afraid of Mei.
"Sorry, what's wrong? And who?" Tao asked with a wary look on his face.
Seeing Tao's stiff-looking expression, Mei immediately took Tao's hand, and then he gripped it so tightly, Tao quickly withdrew his hand but was excellently blocked by Mei.
"Mei, just call me Mei. I am the best friend and only friend that your younger cousin, Qiao Xin, has. I can call you Big Brother Tao right?" asked Mei. Tao couldn't help but smile stiffly, and then he nodded his head again stiffly.
"Yes, Miss-"
"Mei,"
"Mei, is there anything I can help you with?" Tao asked again. Mei smiled broadly.
Mei seemed to be paying close attention to Tao, who confirmed that the man wearing the helmet that night was not Tao. Even his voice was very different. Mei wanted to dig up information, and then she seemed to smile.
"Brother Tao, you have worked with Mr. Han for a long time?" Mei asked again. She took a cup, then put instant coffee in there and brewed it perfectly.
"Yes, I worked for Mr. Han even from the first time Mr. Han held the position of CEO at Han Corporation,"
"By the way, where did you buy the shirt that Mr. Han was wearing, Brother Tao? Looks very nice and expensive, I want to have the same one. Moreover, there is an embroidered letter H on the collar of his golden shirt, looking very charming. It would be great to have the same shirt as Mr. Han's."
"Mei, you are wrong. The shirts and even the clothes that Mr. Han owns are not for sale. He has a special family designer who always designs his clothes in great detail, and the shirts are the same. The embroidered letter H was indeed made of real gold, which is only one and cannot be imitated by anyone because it has been patented. So, a shirt like that only Mr. Han has."
"Is Big Brother Tao right about that? No one owns that shirt apart from Mr. Han?" asked Mei, who seemed to want to confirm herself. Tao nodded affirmatively, and that managed to make Mei open up her chance to find out who the male figure wearing the helmet was that night.
"Yeah, I can confirm that, Mei. There is only one, Mr. Han alone," Tao answered firmly,

This afternoon, Qiao Xin looked very lazy. She continued to hold Mei's hand to take her to lunch in the cafeteria. But as she stepped forward, her gaze caught the figure of three men who had become the center of attention of all the female employees there. Tao was there too.
Qiao Xin took a deep breath, then she wanted to leave, but Mei held her steps perfectly.
"Where are you going?" asked Mei. Qiao Xin immediately looked outside.
"Eating at the cafe across? Looks like the food there isn't bad enough, we ate there a few times right?"
"Isn't your cousin visiting here often now because the boss is working here? How can you even choose to eat out? Don't you want to have a special time with your cousin?" asked Mei.
Qiao Xin took another deep breath, and the fact was that Mei was annoying. How could Qiao Xin have a friend who wasn't as caring as Mei?
Meanwhile, Xuan Cheng, who saw Qiao Xin and Mei's figure, waved his hand perfectly, making Qiao Xin immediately cover her face because she didn't want to be the center of attention so many times in this company. She is already challenging, and she does not want to continue to be the center of gossip from employees because she is thought to know and pretend to be close to all the most attractive men in this company.
"Qiao Xin here, let's have lunch together!" said Xuan Cheng. But Qiao Xin pretended not to hear, other than Mei, who waved back while dragging Qiao Xin closer to the crowd.
"Mei, please don't go there."
"What do you think, Qiao Xin? There's your cousin over there."
"But-"
Mei had even managed to get Qiao Xin to stand at the table of the four of them, which made Qiao Xin want to cry because of Mei's stubborn stubbornness.
"Mei you don't go too far," Qiao Xin annoyed. Her face was bright red as if Qiao Xin wanted to cry right now, and she didn't expect that Mei would be so overbearing to her. How could Mei keep her stuck in this kind of trouble? Didn't Mei know that Qiao Xin was tired of being talked about behind her back by the employees?
"Sit down, have lunch with us," said Xuan Cheng, pulling up one of the chairs that were at the end and perfectly positioned beside him.
Xiao Long saw that it looked silent, then he looked at Qiao Xin, who seemed reluctant to join them.
"Do you always have lunch together when you are at the office?" asked Xiao Long in the end.
"No," Qiao Xin replied.
"Of course it is," Li Xuan replied.
Qiao Xin immediately took a deep breath, looked at Li Xuan while cursing herself. Even Qiao Xin felt like disappearing right now.
"Cheng is good friends with Little Brother Qiao Xin, so we often have lunch together. Even I feel that Cheng and Brother Qiao Xin are really compatible with each other," said Li Xuan, who seemed innocent.
Tao, who heard this, immediately choked, while Xiao Long raised an eyebrow at Qiao Xin with an even sharper gaze than usual.
"Qiao Xin, sit down let's have lunch."
"No, I was planning to have lunch outside together with Mei. Isn't that, Mei?" Qiao Xin turned her head, looking for Mei's whereabouts, but her best friend was already sitting beside Tao and enjoying the meal there. Qiao Xin was pissed off, and it seemed like she was perfectly trapped here.
"Look, your best friend is already very close to your cousin, so you have no more reason to go, Qiao Xin," Xuan Cheng said later.
Xiao Long immediately stood up while folding his arms across his chest. He directly looked at Qiao Xin, glancing at the woman with an annoyed look.
"You sit here," Xiao Long ordered, his words sounding cold and terrifying. Qiao Xin could do nothing but obey. She walked obediently and sat on the chair that Xiao Long was sitting on. Xiao Long immediately left, not long after he came back with food, and then he placed it on Qiao Xin's table. Meanwhile, he chose to sit on the bench that Xuan Cheng had arranged earlier.
Qiao Xin held her breath. She didn't know what to do if everyone here were suspicious of her and asked a cold man like Xiao Long to caring about her, who would definitely expose her lie, and Qiao Xin would be perfectly caught if she is Xiao Long's wife.
"Xiao Long, you really are a very good boss. You know that Sister Qiao Xin is Tao's cousin, and you treat her very well. I really salute a boss like you," Li Xuan praised.
However, Li Xuan's thinking was utterly different from Xuan Cheng's, and he felt that something was off about Xiao Long. Xiao Long's attention was utterly extra from Qiao Xin's, and the way Xiao Long looked at her was different when he looked at women other than Qiao Xin. Or even during this time, Xiao Long had rarely looked at women that deep. It seemed that only Qiao Xin was being looked at in such a strange way.
"Xiao Long, isn't today your first day working here? Why don't you invite us to dinner and drink some wine until we're drunk?" said Xuan Cheng. Everyone present immediately looked at Xiao Long and Xuan Cheng, who were already looking at each other with expressions of genuine hostility.
