Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 370: Unexpected Encounter

“Oh, so you’re the new Secretary Han! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! You're really beautiful, Secretary Han!”

“Hello, Director Liu. Thank you for the compliment.”

After the customary greetings, Pan Lin glanced curiously at the envelope in Director Liu’s hands. It was oddly shaped—wide at the bottom, narrow at the top.

“What’s that? A file?”

Director Liu gave a half-hearted chuckle,

“No, just something a relative mailed me. I’ll take it home later.”

Pan Lin didn’t press,

“Alright then, as long as you’ve met each other. From now on, I won’t be handling anything related to President Lin anymore. If there’s anything, contact Secretary Han directly. Her office number will be shared in the group chat soon.”

“No problem.”

After leaving the admin department, Pan Lin asked Han Wenwen,

“We’ve covered most of the departments. Let’s swing by the warehouse before we wrap up. Tired yet? Walking this long in heels can’t be easy.”

Ever since the draw-lots incident, Han Wenwen had felt her stamina improving. Though she was a bit tired from all the walking, she wasn’t exhausted.

“I’m alright.”

“You don’t seem like it’s your first time in heels. You look like a pro.”

Han Wenwen had occasionally practiced wearing them in private—after all, it did help pique her dear Zhengran-ge’s interest. But it was rare, so she just casually replied,

“I wear them sometimes.”

“Alright. We’ll rest after we’re done with the warehouse. It’s behind the first floor.”

The two took the elevator down together.

Five minutes later, as they finished touring the warehouse and headed back to the main building lobby—

They ran straight into her uncle and aunt, who were just stepping off the elevator.

Han Wenwen’s fox-like eyes widened, and her uncle and aunt—both looking a little worn—stared back in equal surprise.

The three of them locked eyes.

It was completely unexpected.

Han Wenwen asked in confusion,

“Uncle? Aunt? What are you two doing here?”

Her uncle looked at Wenwen in her form-fitting skirt, black stockings, and heels—she looked every bit the mature office lady. It was his first time seeing her like this.

“Wenwen?! You… this outfit...”

Her aunt was stunned too,

“Wenwen? Why are you dressed like this? And what are you doing here?”

Pan Lin looked to Han Wenwen curiously,

“These two are…?”

Han Wenwen quickly made introductions,

“Pan-jie, this is my uncle and aunt.”

Then turned to her relatives,

“Uncle, Aunt—this is Pan-jie, Secretary to Vice President Jiang.”

The uncle had no idea who this Vice President Jiang was, but anyone with a secretary probably had a high position. He quickly extended a hand,

“Hello, Secretary Pan. I’m Wenwen’s uncle.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Han Wenwen noticed the curiosity in her aunt’s eyes and explained,

“I just started work here today. What brings you two here?”

Her aunt frowned,

“Started work? Wenwen, don’t you already have a part-time job? We’re here to talk some business.”

“Hehe,” Han Wenwen covered her face with a giggle,

“I’ve got a few side gigs. So you’re doing business here in the north?”

She vaguely remembered her uncle mentioning half a year ago that they’d opened a small factory and even sent her some pictures. But she hadn’t thought that small factory would land them here.

Her uncle laughed,

“The market’s been rough these past couple years. We have to go wherever we can.”

“Oh, I see. So, did it go well?” she asked.

“Uh…” her uncle hesitated.

After going to the procurement department, they were told the proposal still needed to be reviewed. No confirmation, no clear answer.

“It went okay.”

Pan Lin glanced around and suddenly felt something was off.

“Excuse me—did you say you were here for business? With the procurement department?”

The uncle nodded,

“Yes, the procurement department.”

“You’re leaving already? No one’s escorting you?”

The uncle smiled,

“No need. We’re done talking.”

“No need?” Pan Lin’s tone turned stern.

“Company policy requires departments to escort guests out, regardless of whether the deal goes through. Who did you meet with?”

The aunt could tell now that Pan Lin didn’t seem like an ordinary employee—especially after Wenwen mentioned she was a secretary.

She gave Wenwen a glance,

“Wenwen, come here for a sec. I’ve got something to ask you.”

“Okay.”

Her aunt pulled her aside and asked quietly,

“Wenwen? That Vice President Jiang you mentioned just now…”

Smart as ever, Han Wenwen instantly caught on.

“Oh, that’s Vice President Jiang of Zhengshi Company.”

“Vice President?! So that woman is the VP’s secretary?”

Her aunt was shocked.

“Then why did such a high-ranking person personally guide you around on your first day?”

Han Wenwen smiled,

“Because I’m also a secretary—Zhengran-ge’s secretary.”

“Huh?”

Seeing her aunt confused, she didn’t beat around the bush and smiled,

“Auntie, I’ve never told you and Uncle this before, but since we ran into each other today, I’ll tell you now—Zhengran-ge started doing business back in high school. He’s now the president of Zhengshi Company. This whole company belongs to him.”

Her aunt could hardly believe her ears.

“You’re saying… Lin Zhengran? Wenwen, you’re saying your boyfriend is the president of Zhengshi Company? The president of this company?”

“Yup.” Han Wenwen nodded with a grin.

The revelation left her aunt frozen. As unbelievable as it sounded, the pieces were starting to fall into place.

As a woman herself, a strange thought popped into her head—she couldn’t decide if this child’s fate was incredibly lucky or... not.

A smile crept onto her face.

“This is unbelievable…”

Ever sensitive to others, Han Wenwen quietly asked,

“By the way, Auntie—Uncle’s deal didn’t go through, did it? What happened?”

Her aunt was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Well…”

Soon, the couple explained what had happened—there was no way to keep it a secret with Pan Lin present anyway.

The uncle and aunt were invited to the VIP lounge,

While Han Wenwen went up to the seventh floor to find Lin Zhengran.

She knocked, and after a pause, heard his voice,

“Come in.”

As she pushed the door open, she saw Jiang-jiejie sitting next to her dear Zhengran-ge, wiping her mouth with a tissue.

A light blush tinged her face.

Perfect timing...

Lin Zhengran looked up,

“Wenwen, you’re back. How was the learning?”

Jiang Jingshi tried to act as if nothing had happened,

“Wenwen’s back.”

Han Wenwen blinked her fox-like eyes at Jiang-jiejie, the look in her gaze turning almost instantly sour with suspicion.

What had Jiang-jiejie and Zhengran-ge been doing just now in the office...?

Jiang Jingshi avoided her eyes, mortified, afraid she’d been found out.

Still, the little fox pursed her lips and said,

“Zhengran-ge, my uncle and aunt are here. I asked them to wait in the VIP lounge.”

“Uncle and aunt? What’s going on?”

“It’s kind of a coincidence. Here’s what happened…”

After listening, both Lin Zhengran and Jiang Jingshi were surprised.

Especially Jiang Jingshi—her hand froze mid-sip of water. Her face, already flushed, now turned slightly angry.

“What did you say? Director Liu from admin colluded with procurement? Wenwen, where’s Pan Lin now?”

“She already went to talk to Director Liu,” Han Wenwen replied.

Jiang Jingshi thought for a moment, then turned to Lin Zhengran,

“Zhengzheng…”

Knowing what she was about to say, Lin Zhengran stood up,

“Wenwen, I’ll go with you to see your uncle and aunt.”

Then said to Jiang Jingshi,

“Jingshi, I’ll leave the company matters to you. You’re better at this than I am.”

Jiang Jingshi nodded,

“I’ll handle it. Once I’m done, I’ll come to the VIP lounge to find you both.”

“Leaving it to you.”
