Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 23 The President is Jealous, Too

Within Qin Corporation, Liang Qingren had turned misfortune into a stroke of luck. While Wei Chunhua was beaten because of her, Liang Qingren herself was not punished. Instead, she was promoted to be the president’s secretary. This news immediately caused a stir within the company.

"What a clever daughter I have." Qin Zhengyang laughed heartily upon hearing the news. Even though he had left the corporation, he knew his daughter’s intentions perfectly well. No matter how many women Wu Tian got involved with, they would all lose to his daughter in the end. Qin Zhengyang had absolute confidence in this. Now, he needed to rush off and buy some Croton.

Liang Qingren becoming the secretary was practically a death sentence for the employees who had once harassed her. The president’s secretary was always by her side, so if Liang Qingren said a few bad words about them to Qin Yuhan, their jobs would be on the line. Immediately, some of them went to apologize to Liang Qingren, claiming they had been immature back then, that they were just children who had not grown up yet. Their excuses left Liang Qingren utterly speechless.

In their twenties? Still children?

But they shamelessly continued to apologize. In their eyes, Liang Qingren was now a queen they could not afford to provoke. She herself had never expected this day would come. She had only been an intern and never anticipated becoming the president’s secretary.

Then, Liang Qingren slowly turned her head, her gaze once again falling on Wu Tian.

Was it because of him?

After everyone else had left, she spoke. "I know my becoming secretary must have something to do with you."

"Oh?" Wu Tian smiled with interest. "How do you know?"

"A guess," Liang Qingren said.

Wu Tian nodded, and the little one in his arms giggled. "That was a good guess! You get a reward."

"What reward?" Liang Qingren asked.

"A kiss from Papa," the little one said innocently.

"No, thank you. That’s a bit too much," Liang Qingren said, blushing once more.

Wu Tian simply watched the scene, finding it amusing. A daughter playing matchmaker for her father... I never would have imagined such a thing before. This kid... you’re quite the wingman. Does your mommy know you’re this good?

At that moment, Liang Qingren composed herself and looked at Wu Tian seriously, asking, "But can you tell me how you did it?"

"Because she’s my wife," Wu Tian said.

"Because she’s my mommy!" the little one chirped, copying him.

Liang Qingren did not believe a word of it. She did not believe Qin Yuhan was Wu Tian’s wife or that she was this little one’s mother. She was sure the little cutie had been led astray by Wu Tian.

"Little cutie, don’t learn from your papa in the future. He likes to fantasize," Liang Qingren said to Gugu.

The little one’s eyes widened. Really? But my papa didn’t say anything.

Wu Tian shook his head and sighed. These days, no one believed you when you told the truth.

And Liang Qingren truly did not believe him. Even if Wu Tian was some sort of Innate Master, she was not very clear on what that actually entailed. But she knew about Qin Yuhan. She was the only daughter of the Qin Family, one of the four great families of Yang City. She was also a powerhouse in the Yang City business world and the goddess of every man’s dreams. The line of men pursuing her could fill a river, and it included the sons of officials, wealthy heirs, and elites from every field.

Wu Tian knew Liang Qingren did not believe him, but he did not feel like explaining. Wu Tian was not someone who liked to offer explanations. What was Qin Yuhan, really? That Empress from the Immortal Emperor Realm had an inseparable and complicated emotional entanglement with him.

Time flowed like water.

「In the blink of an eye, it was evening.」

Some employees were preparing to leave work, while others were heading to the cafeteria to pick up some ingredients before going home. It had to be said, this corporate policy was very popular. You could eat dinner in the cafeteria, or you could pick up free ingredients to cook at home.

Now, Liang Qingren had brought Wu Tian, who was holding the little one, to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was on the second floor and was quite large, occupying almost the entire level. Along the walls were glass tanks where fresh fish swam. Behind the service counters, dozens of staff in white chef’s uniforms were busy. As the headquarters, Qin Corporation had many employees, so more than a dozen serving windows were open, each with a long line in front of it.

However, queuing for food here was anything but boring; in fact, it was quite enjoyable. First, massive LCD TVs were mounted above the serving windows, playing entertaining variety shows. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the chefs behind the counters were all women, and the staff serving the food were also all women. Every one of them was attractive, with fair skin, making them even more eye-catching than the food itself. With these two perks, waiting in line was a pleasure.

When Liang Qingren and Wu Tian arrived, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. Liang Qingren was the campus belle intern who had been the subject of many fantasies. Now that she was the president’s secretary, people did not dare act on their feelings, but she drew even more attention than before.

Liang Qingren did not head for the serving lines but instead went to an automated dispenser on the side. This machine could dispense drinks as well as raw ingredients; it was a creation of the Qin Corporation’s R&D department.

"I want chicken legs! And chicken feet! Oh, and chicken wings!" the little one in Wu Tian’s arms exclaimed, her little hand continuously tapping on the machine’s pictured menu. She navigated it like a pro.

As she playfully teased the little one, Liang Qingren turned to Wu Tian and asked with feigned nonchalance, "So, where is this little cutie’s mommy?"

"Her? Well..." Just as Wu Tian was about to speak, two stunning figures appeared in the cafeteria, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.

The two women, one in a black professional suit and the other in a purple one, both had S-curved figures, and every move they made exuded an enticing charm. They were none other than Qin Yuhan and Li Muge.

Qin Yuhan’s long, black hair was pinned up high, adding a touch of nobility and aloof beauty to her appearance. As for Li Muge, the sway of her hips when she walked was enough to give a man with weak willpower a nosebleed. Walking together, their radiance was like that of the full moon, reducing everyone else to a mere backdrop. Even Liang Qingren was no exception. One against two, she was destined to lose. Besides, while Liang Qingren was a campus belle, Li Muge was a Fairy, and Qin Yuhan was a goddess.

As soon as Qin Yuhan arrived, she noticed Wu Tian and her beloved baby. But when she saw them standing with Liang Qingren, a chilling light flickered in her bright eyes. That jerk! If he wants to flirt with women, he should not bring my daughter along!

But Wu Tian, who understood her glare, felt completely wronged. He was not the one playing matchmaker; the little one was!
