Hello, Wife!

Chapter 22: Changing The Form Of Address

By the time Su Le had hung up the phone, it was already eleven in the night. She glanced at the call log. The duration of the call lasted for 00:48:52. Her mood was indescribably brightened. Someone had called her at this time of the day just to chat and kill time with her, so it was unsurprising that there would be an improvement to her mood.

Never would Su Le think of Wei Chu as the type of man to have a habit of long calls as they chatted about the weather and some novels. An originally cold and detached influential figure, who was difficult to get close to, turned out surprisingly to be just an ordinary person. He would contemplate on which restaurants has good food, discuss which weather was annoying, and even grumble about how irritating the jams on the road were.

Such a man with both status and brains, he was a perfect model as the male lead in a novel with the title of 'Great God', a title that was currently trendy and suits him well. But it's that apart from having these attributes, Wei Chu behaves somewhat like an ordinary person.

Flipping her phone close, Su Le pulled up her duvet and fell into a dreamless sleep.

In the next afternoon after Su Le had just finished her work, Jiang Ting called her to the office. Su Le took a file and was prepared to go to JinChu.

She glanced at the time. It was 2:30 in the afternoon and it was the perfect time to start setting off to JinChu.

Arriving at the entrance of JinChu's building, Jiang Ting lifted her head to look at JinChu's sparkling logo. Jiang Ting revealed a rueful expression. She had been working in BaiSheng for several years, and the first time she had seen Wei Chu was in the earlier years at Wei Chu's grandfather's birthday banquet. At that time, Wei Chu was only a 2nd year university student. Yet after graduation, he started his own company and it had grown to such a large one in just a few years time.It was no wonder that whenever the old man from the Wei Family spoke about Wei Chu, his face was always filled with pride.

Turning around, she took a look at Su Le who was walking beside her. Ever since the interview, Jiang Ting had particularly paid attention to Su Le and it seems her foresight was correct. This young lady was capable and treats others appropriately.

When they entered JinChu's building, before they had even reached the reception desk, a courteous staff member came up to them and led them both to the elevator.

Quietly, Su Le stood next to Jiang Ting. She was, afterall, an assistant so she understood what she should and should not do. These were the ground rules that a new employee should know.

Once the elevator doors opened, Jiang Ting was amazed because Wei Chu's assistant, Chen Xu, was waiting for them outside the elevator. Jiang Ting never imagined that Chen Xu would personally come to receive them for such a small collaboration with BaiSheng.

"Manager Jiang, Su Le," Chen Xu greeted when he saw them both. His face wore a smile as he said, "Please, come through. I have guessed that you would be coming around this time. The CEO is currently in a board meeting, but it should be ending soon, so would you please follow me."

"It's us that came early," Jiang Ting smiled. Chen Xu looked at his watch after turning around and he realised that there were still ten minutes before the arranged meeting time. At this point, Jiang Ting realized that Chen Xu, who was Wei Chu's trusted assistant, knew Su Le since he called Su Le directly by name.

"What drink would Manager Jiang like? Tea, coffee, or fruit juice?" Chen Xu asked while opening the windows after he had led them into the VIP lounge.

"A cup of coffee, thanks." Jiang Ting smiled. She was surprised that Chen Xu did not ask Su Le.
