"Nothing much. Which floor is the general manager's office on?" Wei Zhao asked.
"That I wouldn't know. Our report meeting was held in the conference room, so as for which floor the general manager's office is on, I've got no idea either," Brother Dafeng said with a trace of apology. "I couldn't find out even if I tried..."
"It's fine. I'll ask around myself." Wei Zhao nodded. This was a minor matter. So long as he could be certain that the document was inside the general manager's office, that was enough.
"All right, Mr. Lin, take care of yourself," Brother Dafeng reminded him. If nothing happened to Wei Zhao, then the benefits Brother Dafeng reaped in the future would be considerable; if something happened to Wei Zhao, then he would likely be stuck in his current position until retirement—and might even get dragged down with him.
Wei Zhao hung up and walked to the private room where Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi were resting. He knocked on the door, and Cheng Yiyi's voice came from inside almost at once: "Who is it?"
"Yiyi, it's me," Wei Zhao said.
The door opened the moment he finished speaking. Cheng Yiyi stood before him in a bathrobe, her hair still dripping wet. Her wheat-colored skin, moistened by the steam, glistened brightly, and Wei Zhao's eyes lit up at once.
He had to admit it: a girl like Cheng Yiyi, brimming with a healthy, feral beauty, was enormously attractive to men. Wei Zhao had already been tempted once before, and now, seeing her standing before him so lightly clad, he still felt a touch of awkwardness.
"Yiyi, were you two taking a bath?" Wei Zhao hadn't expected they still weren't finished.
"No, Xiaohan's in the sauna. I'm up next in a bit," Cheng Yiyi said with a smile. "You think girls wash up the way you do—just a quick rinse and you're done?"
Wei Zhao paused for a moment, then smiled wryly. True enough. In the past, the young lady and Xiaoshu always had bubble baths and sauna sessions whenever they bathed; he simply hadn't given it much thought.
"Are you looking for Xiaohan?" Seeing Wei Zhao frozen there, Cheng Yiyi asked with a faint smile, though a bitter note stirred in her heart. Wei Zhao probably wouldn't come looking for her of his own accord, would he? If he was here, it had to be for Xu Shilan.
"Looking for you works too," Wei Zhao said. "I have something to take care of, so I'm heading out. If anything comes up, text me if you can, and call only if it's urgent. Don't worry about me—and don't leave this place."
"Huh? You're going out?" Cheng Yiyi asked, slightly taken aback.
"Yeah. There's something I need to do." Wei Zhao didn't go into detail. In truth, there was no need to.
"All right then. Be careful out there. Xiaohan and I will wait for you here..." Cheng Yiyi nodded without pressing further and instructed him gently.
Wei Zhao felt a beat of awkwardness. Cheng Yiyi, standing there in her bathrobe, telling him that she and Xiaohan would be waiting for him here—however he heard it, it carried a faintly suggestive ring. But whether or not there was any seductive intent in her words, Wei Zhao had to go.
Watching Wei Zhao's departing back, Cheng Yiyi sighed softly. Indeed, just as Wei Zhao had guessed, there really was a hint of seduction in her manner. She had already laid her identity bare before him, so there was no need to hide anything anymore—and no need to conceal her feelings for him.
But it seemed Wei Zhao felt... nothing for her. The flowers had intent, but the water flowed on indifferent.
Shaking her head, Cheng Yiyi shut the door and headed toward the bathroom. She needed to tell Xu Shilan about Wei Zhao.
After leaving the bathhouse, Wei Zhao flagged down a taxi and told the driver, "Tiankeng Road."
He spoke in English, and the driver here could understand it.
