Chapter 12
“That is exactly what the chief engineer of MT is here for.”
Sean got up immediately. His expression was gloomy. His eyebrows tightened as he glanced at Vera Qin and then strode away.
Vera’s confident demeanor upset him.
He returned to the president’s office and ordered the secretary to send him Vera Qin’s basic information.
Kendra Su sent the requested information to the president’s office as quickly as possible.
Vera Qin, female, 27 years old.
27 years old? At the age of 27, she had such a high self-esteem. It was obviously inconsistent with her age.
Family member, a four-year-old daughter.
Postgraduate, a masteral degree from a University in Macau. Currently a special engineer of MT software technology. She has won many important awards in international software programming competitions.
She has been involved in the field of software development, software programming, computer mobile phones, chip development of various household appliances and has a remarkable amount of achievements. In addition, she had also studied law and had passed the bar, plus she had a teaching license.
Such an impressive profile. Could it be too good to be true?
After reading Vera Qin’s basic information, Sean had more questions than answers.
“Is this all?”
“Yes it is.”
Kendra Su answered in the affirmative.
Dissatisfied, Sean Qiao asked, “Why doesn’t she have a spouse? The only family members listed here are her and the child.”
“I just checked. Ms. Qin’s husband was her classmate. They divorced soon after she gave birth, and the child was raised solely by her. As for the parents, it seems that they are gone.”
Kendra Su has been working for Sean Qiao for more than four years. She believes that she knows her boss better than anyone, so Sean Qiao will definitely not be satisfied with an simplified version of the story, he had to get all the details. She had done a background investigation in advance.
But she’d exhausted all of her sources, she couldn’t find anything else.
“Leave me,” Sean Qiao ordered in a deep voice.
Vera thought, her first day wasn’t so bad. It would have been better if the company’s psycho president hadn’t showed up.
Vera Qin clocked off work and went to the underground parking lot to pick up her car, but when she opened the door, she saw Sean Qiao.
Vera Qin closed her car door resolutely and walked directly to Sean Qiao’s car.
“I want to talk to President Qiao alone, can you two give me a chance?”
Vera Qin asked the driver and assistant who was about to get in the car, but before the two of them could react, Vera Qin had already opened the car door and sat next to Sean Qiao.
“Mr. Qiao.”
“Who told you you’re allowed here?”
Sean Qiao was a little bit abrupt, and then his face turned black.
“No one, I’d like to talk to you,” Vera said fearlessly. She went on, “Mr. Qiao, I want to know why you have this attitude toward me? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong.”
Seeing his cold face, thinking of his condescending attitude when he left the meeting room, Vera Qin wanted answers.
“For someone who’s just started today, aren’t you being too pretentious?” Sean Qiao was angry.
“I haven’t even begun. How do you know that I am pretentious? For all you know, I’m really just a confident, modern-day woman. If you’re saying I’m pretending to have a higher level of ability than I actually do, I’d love to show you what I’ve got. Otherwise, you can simply ask for a substitution, I’d be happy to turn everything over to another engineer from MT Software.”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Sean Qiao and reached to open the door. She hadn’t even touched the door handle when she was violently pulled back.
“No one dares to talk to me like that, are you provoking me as the president or as a man?”
Sean Qiao gripped her arm tightly with his right hand, and his eyes looked dangerously angry.
“No one dares to talk to you like that, it’s because they are your employees and you pay their salary. I’m not afraid of you. I’m not on your payroll.”
“Also, I...ah...” Vera Qin wanted to say that she did not want provoke the president, nor did she mean to provoke the man, and if he felt that she was provoking him that was never her intention. However, Sean Qiao’s suddenly forced her to fall into his arms.
“It’s not because of work, I’m sure of that. You took the initiative to get in my car because I am a man.”
Sean Qiao’s voice was cold, and his voice seemed distant and detached.
This smell, the smell of his cologne...Vera Qin was lost for a moment, and quickly got up and fled.
“You’re...arrogant and rude.”
Vera Qin whispered back, for fear that people outside might hear and misunderstand the situation.
When her voice fell, she realized that Sean was gripping her hand tightly. Hurriedly, she tried to shake it off. She felt more and more uncomfortable.
“Mr. Qiao, please let go of my hand.”
