The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 111 - : A Huge Stir
Chapter 111: Chapter 111: A Huge Stir
Ah Da slightly tilted her head to look at the man beside her, his face handsome, his figure tall and straight, like a towering tree. She didn’t know when it had started, but she liked being by his side. Perhaps it made her feel secure.
If another girl appeared by his side, she thought, she would probably cry for a very long time.
It seemed she was becoming increasingly greedy.
When the elevator reached the first floor and they stepped out, they were immediately met with several gazes, some surprised, some envious. Ah Da pursed her lips, her small hands involuntarily clutching Qin Yu’s clothes.
Qin Yu noticed her emotions and his large hand smoothly encircled her waist, warding off the curious stares from all directions with a possessive posture.
Wei Lan watched all this and suddenly thought of the meal box on the office coffee table and the woman he had seen when he arrived. If he was not mistaken, that must have been Zhong Xiao’ai from the Zhong Family.
...
She was somewhat an acquaintance, also from the Beijing Circle. They saw each other occasionally when they were kids. He heard she had gone abroad to study and didn’t expect that as soon as she returned, she hurried to the Qin Group to find Qin Yu.
Wei Lan sensed something unusual. He had heard that Old Mrs. Qin was looking for a match for Qin Yu, and he was surprised that the first candidate was Zhong Xiao’ai.
It was no wonder, as Zhong Xiao’ai had a good reputation in the circle, a lady from a distinguished family skilled in all manners of the arts.
Wei Lan walked behind, hearing the soft questioning voice of the young girl ahead.
“Qin Yu, do you think I should get a bank card? The internet says it’s safer to keep money in the bank.”
“Yeah, I’ll take you to get one later.”
“Do I need to prepare anything?”
“No.”
“Oh.”
He responded to each question without letting any of her words fall to the ground. Wei Lan could not help but shake his head and sigh; this Qin Yu was so unfamiliar to him, completely different from his usual self.
It seemed that an alliance between the Qin Family and Zhong Family was unlikely.
Old Mrs. Qin liking Zhong Xiao’ai was useless; Qin Yu was not someone to be manipulated, not before, and certainly not now.
…
The three of them went to a private restaurant where Ah Da ate prawns for the first time until her stomach was full, there were too many varieties.
Red, white, pink; Ah Da had never seen them before. The prawn meat piled on top of the rice, piece after piece, was unstoppable.
Qin Yu and Wei Lan barely touched their chopsticks, the two continuously talking while almost all the sashimi on the table was eaten by Ah Da herself, which made her feel embarrassed towards the end.
The raw meat had a fishy taste, but the sea prawns and fish had none at all, and even tasted sweet, which perfectly suited Ah Da’s palate. She even liked porridge cooked with fish, shrimps, and crabs.
After lunch, Wei Lan said he needed to go to the antiques shop to supervise the progress on the incense burner, while Qin Yu took Ah Da back to the company.
News about the big boss being accompanied by a young girl had spread within the Qin Group, causing a major stir. Many were very curious about who the young girl was, her family background, age, name, etc.
The big boss was known for his integrity, and suddenly a young girl appeared; everyone wondered if the Qin Group was about to have a new lady boss.
Regarding the young girl’s appearance, some employees who had seen her firsthand praised her extravagantly in small chat groups, describing her as a celestial maiden descending to earth.
When Qin Yu brought Ah Da into the Qin Building again, some people realized that the description of her descending from heaven was not an exaggeration at all.
The young girl, dressed in a green dress, with delicate features, and her small arms and legs exposed, had skin that was fair and tender, looking just like a meticulously crafted porcelain doll, beautiful in every way.
HR Department Daily Chat Group:
HR Xiao Song: Did you see that, did you see it? Ahhh, I can’t help but let out a high-pitched scream, Mr. Qin’s girlfriend is too too too cute!
HR Xiao Song: (Serious face) I’d like to call her a natural-born goose goddess.
Rongrong: Where did you see her? Did she come down for inspection? I didn’t see her!! Where did you see her? Did you run out during work hours, are you crazy, not afraid the manager will scold you to death?
HR Xiao Song: Nonsense, I definitely didn’t leave my post without permission, I just happened to see her when I went down to meet someone. Mr. Qin was holding her hand the whole time when she got out of the car, his girlfriend is petite, about 1.6 meters tall, long hair, and her face is amazing. Standing next to Mr. Qin, the height and body shape difference, oh my, you don’t know, I almost couldn’t help screaming out loud!
Sister Wen Yi: Xiao Song, aren’t you Mr. Qin’s dream girl? Are you really not jealous? (Dying from laughter)
HR Xiao Song: Please, I just purely admire Mr. Qin’s looks, okay? A true face fan here, after all, ever since joining Qin Group, I completely ended my idol-chasing life, no male star in the entertainment industry can compare with Mr. Qin’s divine looks, it’s too crushing.
HR Xiao Song: Moreover, (chalkboard tap) a normal-working person couldn’t possibly fall in love with a capitalist boss who exploits labor, unless she’s mentally ill!
Rongrong: Agreed, no flaws in that statement!
Sister Wen Yi: (Laughs loudly) Then why are you so excited about them dating? It’s not like you’re the one in the relationship.
HR Xiao Song: It’s obviously because the handsome man and beautiful woman combo provides a positive mental pleasure to my eyes, stimulates dopamine secretion, and soothes my withered heart, you guys wouldn’t understand, this brings me more joy than being in a relationship myself.
Rongrong: I see you’re preparing to upgrade from a face fan to a couple fan, it’s only a matter of time, let’s go!
Hui Ye: You guys better not discuss Mr. Qin’s private matters. I just heard that a private chat group in operations was reported to the manager, some loose-tongued people are gonna be doomed.
Sister Wen Yi: What happened?
Hui Ye: Just reckless talk, after all, they were spreading rumors about Qin Yu’s girlfriend, not sure who in their group had the guts to take screenshots and snitch, it’s crazy.
Rongrong: Oh my god, that’s disgusting, being reported by someone in the group? That’s literally stabbing you in the back.
HR Xiao Song: Rats in the sewer don’t really differ in size, do they? It’s just dogs biting dogs. If they hadn’t talked behind people’s backs, they wouldn’t have been reported, but still, the person who reported it is pretty disgusting too, stepping on others to climb up, feeding on blood bread.
Hui Ye: I heard the manager wants to keep this under wraps and quietly fire them, probably doesn’t want to make it to Mr. Qin’s ears.
Rongrong: Definitely, if Mr. Qin finds out, maybe the operations manager will get punished too, isn’t he afraid? (Laughs)
Sister Wen Yi: I just went out and heard that those few who were bragging about their bags during last month’s team-building, I heard they formed cliques isolating new colleagues, what goes around comes around, now they’ve all been caught in one sweep, truly deserved.
HR Xiao Song: Powerful, the future lady boss showed up on her first day and eradicated the parasites, seems there’s some mystical forces at play.

Qin Yu returned to his office and went straight into work mode, not bothering with Ah Da, letting her sit by herself.
Assistant Zhang brought in some snacks and drinks, piling them on the desk, while Ah Da nestled on the sofa playing with her phone.
On the way back, Qin Yu had taken her to get a bank card sorted, and she was now looking up online tutorials to link it to her phone.
Most functions of the phone she had already memorized, linking the bank card wasn’t difficult for her, the online tutorial was detailed and easy to understand, she almost finished it after going through it once.
After linking the card, Ah Da looked towards the desk, Qin Yu was reviewing documents with his head down, suddenly the door knocked, followed by a few middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes who stepped in lightly.
Their faces showed surprise when they saw the girl sitting on the sofa, only for a second, then immediately moved their gaze towards Qin Yu as they walked over.
