The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Openly Undermining Pei Jue

Qingwu and Pei Jue standing together are quite a match.

An employee beside Shen Yanhan whispered, “President Pei and President Shen look like they are made for each other! I can’t even imagine how good-looking their children will be in the future!”

“Oh my, if I don’t keep living, will I have the chance to be reincarnated as the child of President Shen and Chairman Pei? That’s my first choice!”

“You could only end up being readjusted to a 996 worker.”

Shen Yanhan listened to the conversation around her, a shadow of darkness flashed in her eyes as she withdrew her gaze from Pei Jue and Qingwu.

She murmured softly to herself, “Are they going to get married? I’m not so sure about that.”

Shen Yanhan stepped forward and handed her prepared resume to Qingwu.

“President Shen, here’s my resume.”

Qingwu reached out to receive it. The resume laid out was very clear, Shen Yanhan’s university major was indeed hotel management, and she stood here because it matched her field.

During university, she mostly taught in mountainous areas and received the national inspirational scholarship every year, graduating at the top of her class.

It was a very impressive resume.

“Why didn’t you continue with postgraduate studies? Your GPA should qualify you for direct admission.”

“I wanted to work, and grandpa also supported me.”

“What is your current position?”

Shen Yanhan pointed to the badge on her chest, “Intern manager, but I want to compete for other positions.”

Qingwu raised an eyebrow slightly, “Which one?”

“I wish to be President Shen’s secretary. The managerial position indeed suits my major more, but I prefer to learn by President Shen’s side.”

“It’s my first day at the hotel as well; following me, you won’t learn much.”

Shen Yanhan shook her head, “But you need a secretary. What I can learn is my ability; coming to the hotel or not is your personal arrangement.”

Her tone was neither overbearing nor humble, measured in her approach, always looking into Qingwu’s eyes as she spoke, somewhat interesting indeed.

As Qingwu walked towards her office, she asked, “It might not be so easy to become my secretary, Miss Shen Yanhan, what is your career plan?”

“Work in the hotel for a few years, then study abroad.”

“Didn’t you just say you have no interest in continuing your studies?”

Shen Yanhan tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, “To be precise, I am not interested in spending the Shen Family’s money to go to school. The school I wish to apply to has rather high tuition fees, and I prefer to spend my own money to walk the path I choose.”

Qingwu chuckled softly.

“Grandpa Jiu would definitely support you wanting to study abroad if he knew.”

“Yes, but I can’t comfortably accept the Shen Family’s kindness towards me.”

She wasn’t a child of the Shen Family; for Shen Lirong to raise her to this age was not easy.

Shen Yanhan straightened her back, “I just hope that grandpa can feel proud of me.”

Qingwu handed back the resume to her and smoothly removed her coat. Just as Pei Jue was about to catch it, Shen Yanhan had already taken Qingwu’s coat and hung it up.

Pei Jue, watching his own hands empty, felt an inexplicable and strange feeling.

Shen Yanhan hung up Qingwu’s coat, her face showing a professional yet warm smile, leaving no room for criticism.

“Do you need help ironing it?”

“No need, I will be leaving shortly. Also, I agree to you being my secretary.”

Shen Yanhan bowed slightly, “Thank you, President Shen. I will work hard.”

After being briefed on a few things, Qingwu realized that Shen Yanhan had already done enough homework on the hotel!

“I will bring the hotel’s financial reports to you later.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Watching Shen Yanhan close the office door behind her and leave, Qingwu finally diverted her attention.

Pei Jue handed Qingwu a cup of coffee and pulled her to sit on his lap, whispering with a chuckle, “Why do I feel like Ms. Shen seemed to have taken my job?”

Even Shen Yanhan always seemed to subtly place herself between Pei Jue and Qingwu!

When leaving the office, she even gave Pei Jue a hostile glance!

Qingwu found this somewhat amusing—was Pei Jue now getting jealous over women too?

He really is quite… adorable.

“She’s also a member of the Shen Family, as long as her business skills are sufficient that’s all that matters.”

Qingwu had too much on her plate recently, busy dealing with the companies she had in hand, and hadn’t been back to Beidou Star for quite some time now.

If someone could take over her business, she would have more time to handle her own work!

Shen Yanhan’s temperament was not too bad.

Pei Jue buried his head into the nape of Qingwu’s neck, feeling the arc of her pulse throbbing with a delicate fragrance that was refreshing to the heart.

Feeling the warmth and tenderness in his arms, Pei Jue took a deep breath.

“Qingwu, when do you plan… to get engaged with me?”

“Hm?”

An engagement wasn’t something Qingwu was in a hurry for.

They were now boyfriend and girlfriend, also fiancés, and getting engaged would just be a formality, so both families and the public would know about their relationship!

Pei Jue’s voice carried an indescribable huskiness.

“If this goes on, I’ll become like the chaste Liuxiahui. Can Qingwu bear that?”

Hearing the deeper meaning in Pei Jue’s words, Qingwu’s ears flushed red, she shoved Pei Jue away and stood up in a fluster.

“I still have something to do, wait for me for a second!”

Watching Qingwu leave the office in a flurry, a hint of a smile appeared on Pei Jue’s handsome face, he spun the chair beneath him, his eyes resting on the view outside the window.

Outside was a garden, and Qingwu stood there, fanning her face with her hand. Through the glass window, meeting Pei Jue’s charming and teasing gaze, her face grew even hotter…

As a doctor, Qingwu knew better than anyone what had just happened from the touch she felt!

Standing in the garden, she cooled herself and when she turned around, Pei Jue had already turned back, directly using Qingwu’s computer to handle official business.

Relieved from that intense gaze, Qingwu let out a silent sigh of relief!

“Is President Shen out here to look at the garden?”

Shen Yanhan stood behind Qingwu, following Qingwu’s gaze and also saw Pei Jue, who was working.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for Chairman Pei to directly use President Shen’s computer?”

“It’s fine, I have a dedicated computer.”

No matter what work she’s handling, Qingwu still preferred to use her own computer, moreover, Pei Jue was merely using the hotel’s computer for a video conference and didn’t need any other programs.

“The hotel’s computer is connected to the internal network, even if President Shen has a good relationship with Chairman Pei, you should still consider more. Even in ancient times, a husband should not scheme for his wife’s dowry.”

Qingwu slightly lifted her eyebrows.

She turned to look at Shen Yanhan behind her, meeting her very serious gaze that seemed to be for Qingwu’s own good!

But why did her tone of speaking carry a touch of hostility?

This hostility was also directed at Pei Jue!

“If I may be so bold to ask, do you have a grudge against the Pei Family?”

Shen Yanhan responded coldly, “No, I just think that President Shen, being such a great person, should choose someone more suitable for you!”

“The Pei Family is complicated, President Shen can have better options, it doesn’t have to be Chairman Pei.”

Qingwu figured it out.

Shen Yanhan was openly trying to snatch Pei Jue away!
