Chapter 9: 9

Su Qiong, wrapped in a quilt, sat on the chair with three legs skillfully.

 

“What’s your name?” Lin Fu asked.

 

“My name is Su Qiong.” He said honestly.

 

Lin Fu asked casually, “Which character? Is it from Wang Jiajing’s Qiong or Cang Qiong’s Qiong?” (T/N: 王加京的琼还是苍穹的穹, homophones, the underlined are what he’s comparing)

 

Su Qiong smiled, “It’s none of them, it’s the ‘live a life of poverty’ poor.” (T/N: 穷困潦倒 = crack up under the strain of poverty; in a state of utter poverty)

 

“…” Lin Fu silently took a deep breath.

 

Who gave him such a name? Was their brain-damaged?

 

Su Qiong shyly bowed his head, “This name was chosen by myself because I think it suits me well.”

 

“…” Lin Fu looked at him in agony. (T/N: As in he pities him very much a̶n̶d̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶h̶o̶m̶e̶.)

 

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

 

“It should be my assistant. Stay seated.” Lin Fu noticed that it was not very convenient for Su Qiong to move since he was in his quilt, so he hurried to open the door.

 

Assistant Xiao Zhang stood at the door with several shopping bags and said respectfully, “Mr. Lin, I’ve bought them.”

 

“Give them to me.” Lin Fu took the shopping bags and handed them to Su Qiong. “I don’t know if they fit. Just keep all of them.”

 

Su Qiong, who had not worn new pants for two years, had bright eyes. Like a child opening their presents, he took a pair of shiny tight-fitting leather leggings which had a vertical zipper on his buttocks out of his shopping bag…… 

 

Lin Fu felt as if he was a pervert. He gave Xiao Zhang a look and quickly shook off the blame. “I didn’t instruct you to buy this kind.”

 

Xiao Zhang calmly stood aside, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lin, there are also other styles.”

 

…… A miscalculation, I thought it was a flirtatious cheap bitch.

 

Su Qiong blushed, quickly stuffed the leather pants back, and then took out a pair of simple jeans from the second shopping bag.

 

“I’ll wear this.” Su Qiong said, caressing the brand-new pants with sincerity and twinkling eyes which reflected the joy in his heart.

 

“… Ok. ” Lin Fu was stunned for a moment, then he quickly pulled Xiao Zhang to the entrance and turned his back. He waited for Su Qiong to change his pants.

 

Su Qiong put down the quilt that he was wrapped in all morning and walked around the room with his new pants. He happily said, “Do I look good?”

 

“Looks good…” Lin Fu hesitated for a while and swallowed the words ‘look at yourself in the mirror’ because Su Qiong’s house didn’t seem to have a mirror.

 

“Take the rest back.” Su Qiong stuffed the other shopping bags in Xiao Zhang’s hands. “You’ve only damaged one pair of my pants. There’s no need to pay so much.”

 

“…” Xiao Zhang took the shopping bags expressionlessly.

 

Oh ho. Boy, are you trying to attract our President Lin’s attention?

Lin Fu nodded helplessly, took out his phone and said, “Leave me your contact information.”

 

Su Qiong timidly asked, “You’ll still contact me in the future?”

 

“Yes.” Lin Fu’s brows twitched, “Our company might need to send out leaflets or whatnot.”

 

“I don’t have a cellphone,” Su Qiong said, feeling troubled.

 

Lin Fu quickly said, “Home number.”

 

However, as soon as the words came out, he realized that it was nonsense.

 

Sure enough, Su Qiong was sorry and said, “There is no home phone.”

 

Lin Fu: “……”

 

Seeing that Lin Fu’s face color was not very good, Su Qiong quickly reported a string of digits and said, “You can call Aunt Li next door and tell her you’re looking for Su Qiong.”

 

“Okay.” Lin Fu’s expression slowly relaxed and lowered his head to jot down the number.

 

Su Qiong said carefully, “But if you have no problems, please don’t call. It’s very troublesome for Aunt Li.”

 

Lin Fu’s expression was full of agony: “…….”

 

Xiao Zhang helped Lin Fu, “Mr. Lin, please slow down.” (T/N: formal ‘you’ used)

 

Interesting, you are the first person who dared to speak to our President Lin like this.

 

Lin Fu calmed down and suggested, “At least let me invite you to have a meal and apologize, this isn’t too much right?”

 

Su Qiong’s small face suddenly burst forth with radiance, “Okay!”

 

Lin Fu sighed, turned his head and whispered to Xiao Zhang, “Book me a private room in La Seine.”

 

It is a very expensive French restaurant in the area.

 

However, Su Qiong couldn’t understand it at all.

 

“Can we eat roast duck? ” Su Qiong, with full expectation, swallowed his saliva. 

 

“There’s one selling at the nearby market. I smell it every day when I pass by while going home. It smells so fragrant.”

 

“Sure.” Lin Fu’s eyes were slightly sore. He turned to Zhang Xiao and said, “Don’t reserve, we’re having roast duck.”

 

Xiao Zhang: “Okay, Mr. Lin.”

 

Congratulations, Mr. Lin has noticed you.
