Chapter 2176: Doubts

Honest people give the impression of being reliable.

Especially those you know personally; in many people's eyes, they are trustworthy.

Liu Yiming was that kind of person in Yan An's eyes.

To put it bluntly, compared to Zhou Ping, whom she had never met before, Yan An trusted Liu Yiming, whom she had known since childhood, more.

Even if Zhou Ping seemed to be doing better than Liu Yiming.

But the problem was, unlike Wang Xue, who had chatted with Zhou Ping for years, she was a stranger to him.

In a strange city, in a strange environment, she still chose someone she knew.

Liu Yiming didn't mind. Since Yan An was willing to go with him, he would naturally take her away.

As for that Zhou Ping?

Heh.

In Liu Yiming's eyes, he was nothing.

A person's identity determines their horizons.

Just like Liu Yiming, a few years ago when he was still struggling everywhere, he might have thought that someone like Zhou Ping, who was striving in the capital, was a success.

After all, he had a house and a car, and his income was probably decent.

But now, he didn't care about that guy's reaction at all.

The reason was simple: in Liu Yiming's view, this Zhou Ping was no different from a joke.

"Brother Yiming, how much farther do we have to go?"

Wearing high heels, following behind Liu Yiming, Yan An complained bitterly.

If she had known, she would have worn flat shoes.

Liu Yiming smiled: "We're almost there."

Shortly after he spoke, the two arrived in front of a car.

"Secretary Liu."

Old Ma, seeing Liu Yiming, quickly got out of the car to help with the luggage.

"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Ma."

Liu Yiming didn't stand on ceremony; he handed the suitcase to Old Ma, who placed it behind the back seat.

"This car..."

Yan An behind him was stunned.

No matter how ignorant she was, she couldn't fail to recognize the Mercedes-Benz logo.

Even if she couldn't tell which model it was, the emblem was there, and Old Ma's demeanor, along with his address to Liu Yiming, all proved that Liu Yiming's parents hadn't lied—their son seemed to be doing well in the capital, even better than his celebrity sister.

More importantly, Secretary Liu?

Yan An looked at Liu Yiming; she couldn't see how he looked like a secretary.

What secretary dressed like that?

Liu Yiming turned around and saw Yan An standing there in a daze, thinking she was intimidated. He smiled and explained: "This is my boss's car. He said he has nothing to do these days and doesn't plan to go out. Since I was coming to pick you up, he let me drive it over."

"Ah..."

Yan An quickly nodded but said nothing.

Her mind was a bit confused now. What was going on?

"Get in."

Liu Yiming smiled, waved his hand, and said to Yan An.

Yan An got into the car, but sitting inside, she felt at a loss.

"Brother Ma, take me home."

Liu Yiming said: "But first, go to headquarters; I need to pick up some documents."

"Okay."

Old Ma quickly nodded.

He naturally knew how much Zhao Fusheng valued Liu Yiming. Among Zhao Fusheng's secretaries, regardless of ability, at least their loyalty was unquestionable.

The previous two assistants, whether Zhang Qian or Wu Sijie, were now in high positions, becoming senior management of subsidiaries under the Future Group.

In this situation, although Liu Yiming's ability might be somewhat lacking compared to those two,

no one would underestimate him.

Because everyone knew that at any moment, this guy might be assigned by Zhao Fusheng to some branch.

In the workplace, would anyone be crazy enough to offend someone who might become their superior?

No!

No one is stupid.

In modern society, everyone who manages to get by in the workplace is a shrewd operator.

They might hesitate, they might struggle, and they might even make mistakes.

But from the start, no one acts with the intention of offending others.

Everyone hopes to advance further in their career.

...

...

The car started slowly, but Yan An remained quiet and well-behaved.

Along the way, she barely spoke; only when Liu Yiming brought up things from their hometown did she respond a few times.

As for her attitude, that went without saying.

Anyone who didn't know might think she was a quiet little princess.

Soon, the car arrived at the headquarters of the Future Group.

"I'm going up to get the documents. Do you want to come up with me or wait in the car?"

Before getting out, Liu Yiming asked Yan An.

"Brother Yiming, do you work here?"

Yan An was stunned, looking up at the tall office building, her face full of shock.

Liu Yiming nodded: "This building belongs to our company. The boss said he doesn't like renting other people's buildings, so he bought the whole thing."

Pfft!

Yan An almost choked.

Was that even human speech?

What did he mean by not liking to rent other people's buildings, so he just bought the whole building?

Oh my god!

Did that person's money come from the wind?

"I'll go up with you!"

After hesitating for about ten seconds, Yan An decisively said to Liu Yiming.

She was genuinely curious about what this company Liu Yiming mentioned was like.

Liu Yiming didn't say much; actually, he thought it was better for Yan An to come up with him.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Old Ma, but because the guy was not good with words. Leaving him and Yan An in the car would mean the front and back seats, each doing their own thing, and the atmosphere in the car would probably be awkward to death.

Liu Yiming didn't want that to happen.

So after thinking it over, he felt it was more appropriate to take Yan An up with him.

Even though, in the eyes of some observant people, this might imply something.

There might even be a lot of gossip within the company.

But in Liu Yiming's view, Yan An was a younger sister he needed to take care of, and it had always been that way since childhood, so he didn't feel much about it.

The two got out of the car and walked toward the company entrance.

They arrived at the security office.

"Secretary Liu, what brings you here?"

Seeing Liu Yiming, a middle-aged man in his forties quickly walked over, firmly grasped Liu Yiming's hand, and said: "Long time no see."

Liu Yiming smiled: "Captain Jiang, no need to be so polite. The chairman isn't coming to the company today, so everyone can relax."

"Ah..."

Captain Jiang clearly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had been scared.

After all, Liu Yiming saying that the chairman wasn't coming to the company was undoubtedly the best news for these security personnel.

Who would have thought he, as the chairman of Far East Auto, would suddenly rush to the company?

Chairman?

Yan An's mind was buzzing again. What was going on?
