Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

A few minutes later, Bai Qingming hung up the phone, walked back, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

"I've reported to the chairman. The showroom, display cases, and constant temperature warehouse are all in good order and fully meet our company's agency standards. Headquarters said they can ship the first batch of goods at any time."

"But as for the opening, the chairman is very busy with the international food exhibition in Shanghai recently, and his schedule is completely booked. He really can't get away. He said that General Manager Yang will come to represent the headquarters to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"Mr. Yang is welcome to come too!"

Wang Xiaomeng's eyes lit up:

"General Manager Yang is a reliable person who is also skilled in technology and management. Her arrival is perfect for settling down in town."

The three of them went through the process again, from welcoming the guests to the awarding ceremony, and finally felt that it was almost done.

Li Qiuge closed the notebook, stretched, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Meng, I've finished all the quality control work for now, so I don't have anything urgent to do. I haven't been to our hot spring resort yet, and I'd like to go up and take a stroll."

"Sure, I'll drive you there," Wang Xiaomeng readily agreed.

"No need, no need. You have a lot to do before opening, you go ahead and do your thing."

Li Qiuge has a beautiful smile, and a quirky, clever charm.

"I'll just drive your car around a bit, and I'll be right back when I'm done."

Without thinking much, Wang Xiaomeng took out her car keys and handed them over.

"Okay, drive carefully then, call me if you need anything."

Li Qiuge drove Wang Xiaomeng's car slowly up the mountain, not in a hurry. She looked at the scenery along the way, opened the car window to let the cool breeze in, and breathed in the fresh air, which felt very nice.

Park the car in the parking lot and get out of the car.

Today she wore a pair of high boots with a beige fitted coat. After getting out of the car, she strolled towards the door with her hands behind her back, looking around and even finding the neatly trimmed trees by the roadside fascinating.

As they were strolling around, they saw a man standing at the main entrance. He had a handsome profile and looked very focused. He was giving instructions to the security guards and was holding a folder in his hand. His figure and features were very familiar. Who else could it be but Lin Chen?

Lin Chen was instructing the security guards on the nighttime fire prevention patrol when he caught a glimpse of Li Qiuge from afar. His heart skipped a beat. What was this girl doing here?

The awkwardness of mistaking someone for someone else is still fresh in my mind, and this girl's gaze is acting strange again. If we bump into each other, who knows what she'll say next.

He quickly waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright, do as I say. Make a few extra rounds in the middle of the night. The weather is dry now, so be careful."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the office, her steps quickening as she pretended not to see Li Qiuge coming towards her.

"Brother Chen! Lin Chen! Wait for me!"

Li Qiuge, with her sharp eyes, recognized her at a glance and waved from behind, her boots making a "clattering" sound on the stone pavement.

"Where are you going? I need to talk to you!"

Lin Chen pretended not to hear and took bigger steps, thinking to himself, "Why chase after her? What's there to say? Why did this girl come looking for me?"

Without turning his head, he strode into the office area and headed straight for his office.

In the office, Secretary Li was sitting behind a large desk, writing employee attendance sheets with her head down, muttering names and checking the number of days.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Lin Chen rushed in, startling Secretary Li so much that her hand trembled and she drew a long mark on the table with her pen.

"Oh my god! Chen-ge, what are you doing? You rushed around so fast, you scared me half to death! Look, this attendance sheet is ruined."

Lin Chen didn't reply. Looking around but finding nowhere to hide, he glanced at the space under the boss's table—it seemed spacious enough—and quickly crouched down to crawl under it, saying urgently:

"Quick! Keep sitting there and block the way! If anyone looks for me, just say I'm not here, understand?"

Secretary Li looked bewildered and was about to ask a question when she heard the "clack-clack-clack" of high heels coming from the corridor, getting closer and closer.

She quickly pulled her legs under the table, smoothed out her skirt, moved her chair forward, straightened her back, and picked up her pen, pretending to continue writing her attendance record.

Two knocks sounded on the door, and Li Qiuge pushed it open and entered. She glanced around the office and, finding no one there, felt a sense of unease.

"Hello, is Lin Chen here? I need to talk to him about something."

Secretary Li looked up, about to shake her head and say she wasn't there, when she suddenly felt her blood pressure rise. She groaned, then slumped forward, slamming her hands heavily onto the attendance sheet, crumpling the paper into a ball.

Li Qiuge was startled and took half a step back:

"What...what happened to you? Are you alright?"

Secretary Li bit her lip; her high blood pressure made her very uncomfortable. She shakily raised her head, her words barely audible.

"I'm fine... Mr. Lin isn't here. Do you need to see him?"

"Really not here?"

Li Qiuge frowned, took two steps forward, and glanced briefly behind the curtains. There really was nowhere for anyone to hide.

"Strange, I clearly saw him come in, how could he fly now?"

Secretary Li moved forward slightly; anyone who has had high blood pressure knows how uncomfortable it is, and you could tell from her voice:

"You're really something... really interesting. I've been sitting inside the whole time, how could I not know who came in? He hasn't come over all morning, who knows where he's been wandering around."

Seeing that her face was flushed, she was stammering, and her eyes were darting around, Li Qiuge was a little puzzled, but didn't delve into it.

"Alright then, I'll stop looking and head back to the village."

She turned to leave, then turned back and added:

"Are you really okay? Your face is so red, you might have a fever. Drink some more hot water."

Secretary Li waved her hand, leaned on the table, and closed her eyes.

"It's alright, it's alright, you should go now. I have high blood pressure, it'll be fine in a bit."

Hearing the door close and the footsteps in the corridor fade away, Secretary Li suddenly slumped onto her desk, letting out a long sigh. She knocked over the water glass on the desk, spilling water all over the floor. She lay on the desk for a long time, unable to recover.

Even if you take blood pressure medication, the effect won't be that quick.

Only after the footsteps in the corridor had completely faded away did Lin Chen come out. His legs were numb from squatting for so long, and he was holding onto the edge of the table, gasping for breath.

"Are you alright? You need to take your high blood pressure medication."

Secretary Li waved her hand weakly:

"Don't you know whether I take my medicine or not?"

Lin Chen nodded and walked outside, giving a final instruction before leaving:

"Hurry up and mop the floor, it looks so messy."

"knew……"

After Lin Chen left, he kept spitting on the ground as he walked, and kept grabbing at something with his fingers on his tongue.

He glanced around; it was quiet, with no one else except for the waiters walking back and forth.

He then straightened up and stretched, his joints cracking, muttering to himself:

"Holy crap, did this girl set up a tracking device or something? How did she manage to track me all the way here? That's really weird."

I had just taken a breath of the cool breeze carrying the scent of pine needles, and before my shoulders could even relax, someone gently patted my back.

Lin Chen slowly turned around, surprised for a moment, then immediately smiled, pretending he had just seen him, and said very enthusiastically:

"Oh, Qiuge? What brings you up here? You didn't even call ahead so I could have come down to meet you."

Li Qiuge stood there with her arms crossed, her high boots clattering on the bluestone slabs, the hem of her coat swaying in the wind.

She smiled, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him without saying a word, her gaze making Lin Chen feel uneasy.

"Stop pretending, Brother Chen. I saw you run faster than a rabbit. What, am I a plague god? Are you avoiding me?"

"No way!"

Lin Chen quickly waved his hand and said with a serious expression:

"Don't get the wrong idea. How could I possibly dislike you? I'd be very happy to have you here."

"I wasn't thinking anything."

Li Qiuge snorted, crossed her arms, and moved forward, kicking small pebbles on the ground with the tip of her shoe.

"Let me tell you, I know all the women around you are beautiful, each one outstanding, but don't underestimate me. Back in Shanghai, the men who pursued me stretched from the company to the Bund, and there were all kinds of them."

Lin Chen chuckled and went along with her words:

"That's Shanghai, isn't it? This is Xiangyashan. One is by the sea, and the other is by the mountain. It's inevitable that we'll have some issues with the environment. Besides, no matter how many people are pursuing you, they're not close to me. It has nothing to do with me."

Li Qiuge nodded, shuffled the pebbles with her toes, looked up at him, and spoke directly, without beating around the bush:

"Fine, then I'll just say it straight. I want to be with you, and I want to be your woman. Now it's your business, isn't it?"
