Chapter 430: President Is a Blessed Man

It was a little impolite, so she could only flash Manager Wang an awkward smile.
To her surprise, Wei Zhiqian took the name card from Manager Wang before she did.
The latter was rendered speechless at the sight of it.
‘Why did you take it?’
‘I did not mean to give you that card.’
‘Besides, don’t you already have my contact number?’
“I took it for Momo.” Wei Zhiqian came up with a far-fetched excuse.
Although Manager Wang had his fair share of doubts, he remained quiet.
He tried to convince himself that Wei Zhiqian did that because he cared for Tan Mo.
The former would not even let the latter take the business card with her own hands.
Why? Would the weight of the card make her arms sore?
“Tan Mo, you may look for me when you’re here again next time. I’m at your service if you need me,” Manager Wang stated with a pleasant smile.
At that, Tan Mo shook her head and replied courteously, “That’d be very kind of you. Thank you very much, Manager Wang.”
He immediately responded with an internal scream of delight.
‘Where did this adorable girl come from?’
‘She is so obedient and ladylike!’
Manager Wang surmised that a woman who could get so close with Wei Zhiqian must have come from a prominent family.
To think that one could not even find an ounce of egotism in a pampered girl with a strong family background like her.
Such an individual was too lovable.
Wei Zhiqian received the business card with the hand that was carrying his dinner.
So, the disposable food containers were raised along with his hand.
Noticing a huge stack of takeaway boxes, Manager Wang asked, “President, have you not had dinner yet?”
“No.” Wei Zhiqian was unusually patient about explaining himself. “I tend to forget about eating once I immerse myself in work. So, Momo deliberately brought sushi over for me.”
Upon hearing that, Manager Wang chuckled. “Tan Mo is such a thoughtful person. That’s great.”
After speaking, he plucked up his courage to play with fire by probing Wei Zhiqian’s private matters. “President, you’re such a blessed man.”
Naturally, Manager Wang paid attention to the words that came out of his mouth.
No matter who Tan Mo was to Wei Zhiqian, he was convinced that they were very close to each other.
If Tan Mo were Wei Zhiqian’s younger relative, it would be correct to compliment the latter as a blessed person. After all, he did receive her care.
However, the latter would be considered an animal if he were to lay his hand on a student like Tan Mo.
Even though she was studying at the university, it didn’t change the fact that she was still a student.
Considering Wei Zhiqian’s age, it was totally against common decency.
Manager Wang did not know that Tan Mo was actually only 18 years old as he did not follow entertainment news.
Hence, he had assumed Tan Mo’s age based on the average junior year university student.
Manager Wang would have deemed Wei Zhiqian a brute if he knew that Tan Mo was only 18.
Still, there was nothing wrong with him praising Wei Zhiqian as a lucky man who received a dinner delivery from Tan Mo if they indeed had a special relationship.
Manager Wang commended himself for his quick-wittedness.
Just then, he caught sight of Wei Zhiqian, who looked genuinely elated.
With a smile bright as dawn on a dazzling summer’s day, Wei Zhiqian nodded to Manager Wang’s praise. “You’re right.”
The statement only further worsened Manager Wang’s confusion.
With that, he could not determine their relationship anymore.
Just as Manager Wang was struggling to deduce the correct answer, the elevator arrived at his designated floor.
Looking as if seeing his Messiah, Manager Wang uttered, “Looks like I’ve arrived at my floor. President, Tan Mo, I’ll take my leave now.”
Wei Zhiqian bowed his head.
After the elevator doors opened, Manager Wang dashed out of it without hesitation, appearing like a pack of ferocious dogs closing in on him.
The doors closed after a while, leaving only the two of them inside again.
Tan Mo was brimmed with curiosity to know what Wei Zhiqian had been up to in the company.
Why would everyone be terrified of him?
On the other hand, Wei Zhiqian’s eyes were still set on the business card Manager Wang handed over earlier.
“I’ll be here in the company, so you don’t need the help from others,” Wei Zhiqian declared.
“Alright.” The thought of contacting Manager Wang had never crossed Tan Mo’s mind.
For starters, they didn’t even know each other.
Furthermore, Zhou Jingan would be around even if Wei Zhiqian was not in the office.
She would not have come to Weifeng if it was not necessary, especially not when Wei Zhiqian was not there.
So, she was not particularly bothered by it.
Staring at the meek Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his lips into a smile.
Wei Zhiqian did not let go of Tan Mo even after the elevator arrived at his office floor. Pulling her hand, they walked out and headed in the direction of his office.
Zhou Jingan was present since Wei Zhiqian was working overtime.
The latter had informed the former of Tan Mo’s coming before going down to pick her up earlier.
Watching the two holding each other’s hands, Zhou Jingan greeted happily, “Momo.”
“Brother Jingan!” Tan Mo waved her hand at Zhou Jingan.
At first, she wanted to call him Uncle Jingan.
Wei Zhiqian disagreed, saying that she could only use that for him alone.
She should call no one “Uncle” other than himself.
To him, that term was his exclusive title.
Having said that, Zhou Jingan would not want Tan Mo to call him Uncle Jingan as it would make him sound older than necessary.
In the end, he had insisted that she should call him Brother Jingan.
Despite being one generation younger in terms of seniority compared with Wei Zhiqian, it’d be better if he could be referred to as someone younger.
As a man who was still in his prime, being addressed as someone older was the last thing he ever wanted.
Moreover, he did not have the fetish of becoming an uncle to someone like Wei Zhiqian did.
“Jingan, I need you to contact the Security Department to get a record of Mo Mo’s fingerprint so that she can go through the turnstile the next time she comes,” Wei Zhiqian ordered.
“Right away, Sir.” Zhou Jingan nodded.
Upon hearing that, Tan Mo thought, ‘Huh? I won’t be coming here again next time. I’ve only come to deliver his dinner tonight. This is an exception.’
‘Is there even a need to keep a record of my thumbprint?’
As those thoughts ran through her mind, Zhou Jingan had already made a call to the said department. Tan Mo remained silent.
After that, Tan Mo followed Wei Zhiqian into his office.
He placed the sushi boxes on the coffee table.
She had never once stepped into Weifeng before this. Thus, it was her first time actually seeing Wei Zhiqian’s working space.
His workplace had a simple and minimalistic setup.
There were huge floor-to-ceiling windows behind the leather ergonomic office chair, which had a great scenery as background. Peering out of the glass windows, the iconic buildings in B City were in full view.
Having such a magnificent cityscape as a backdrop, his working space was furnished with a large office desk to fit the theme.
An open back bookshelf was installed on one side of the walls.
It was partitioned in squares with a vast collection of information-packed books shelved at random positions.
Nevertheless, most of the stuff placed there were not the trophies and awards that Wei Zhiqian won when he was young, but the presents Tan Mo had been giving him.
There had not been a celebration or festivity that she would forget to give him a gift.
From his birthdays, their first meeting anniversaries, Christmas, to every prize day where he would receive awards since back then, Tan Mo would never fail to give him a present.
As the number of gifts Wei Zhiqian received from her was too overwhelming, he would keep some at Wei Mansion while placing some here at his office.
He had an abode near the company. To him, that place was nothing more than a temporary dwelling as he did not plan to stay there for long.
For that reason, he did not put anything worthy of remembrance over there. The things he had in that residence were only his daily necessities.
That place was comparable to a hotel room to him.
Just as Tan Mo was looking around, the manager of the Security Department arrived.
After knocking on the door, he entered the office.
Right then, the Security Department Manager took out a small electronic device and had Tan Mo place her finger on it.
