Chapter 16 You call me Mrs. Tan?
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and was extremely excited.
Everyone's face was beaming with excitement, and some even hugged each other in their excitement.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation for the team building activity, as if they could already see themselves enjoying themselves in this luxurious resort.
Only Zhu Ziqing stood in the crowd, her brows slightly furrowed, maintaining her composure.
Looking at her excited colleagues, she thought to herself, "Although it's a good thing that the CEO is spending money, we can't all be too indulgent. After all, this money is also a company resource."
Moreover, the purpose of this team-building activity shouldn't just be fun, but more importantly, to enhance team cohesion.
Seeing Zhu Ziqing's expression, her colleague asked curiously, "Ziqing, are you unhappy? The president is being so generous!"
Zhu Ziqing shook her head and said softly, "No, I just think we should cherish this opportunity and not just think about having fun."
Upon hearing this, his colleague shrugged dismissively and continued to revel in his excitement.
Yang Piaoliang said to everyone, "The rooms have all been assigned. Zhu Ziqing, come with me."
After saying that, he led Zhu Ziqing toward the independent villa area of the resort.
As Zhu Ziqing followed Yang Piaoliang, she was secretly amazed by the luxurious scenery and facilities around them.
This place is even more luxurious than the ones I've seen before. I heard that the rooms here cost 9999 yuan per night.
As she walked, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but wonder, "Why did Yang Piaoliang bring me here? Does she have some other purpose?"
Sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, casting its glow on the rustic wooden door.
Yang Piaoliang gently pushed open the wooden door, and a picturesque scene slowly unfolded before Zhu Ziqing's eyes.
Before me was a crystal-clear swimming pool, its surface shimmering in the sunlight, like countless diamonds sparkling.
Beside the pool is a fine, soft beach, the sand so white it's dazzling, as if it had been carefully selected.
The lawn not far away was neatly trimmed, like a huge green velvet carpet, dotted with colorful wildflowers.
In the center of the lawn stands a quaint pavilion.
It is surrounded by artificial hills of various shapes, and fountains spray water merrily between them, forming beautiful arcs.
Further away, there is a colorful sea of flowers.
A gentle breeze blows, the flowers sway softly, and they release a fragrant aroma, creating a scene reminiscent of a paradise.
Zhu Ziqing followed behind Yang Piaoliang, her eyes wide with admiration.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is so beautiful! It's like a paradise on earth!"
Yang Piaoliang smiled slightly, a hint of pride in his voice, and said, "This resort was specially designed by President Tan, and every landscape reflects his unique taste."
You've been working with Mr. Tan for a while now, so you should be able to sense his style.
Zhu Ziqing nodded slightly: "Yes, President Tan is indeed very classy; he has very high standards for quality."
Yang Piaoliang suddenly stopped, looked at Zhu Ziqing, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Tan, this way please."
Upon hearing this address, Zhu Ziqing felt as if struck by lightning, her mind going blank.
Her heart suddenly raced, as if a fawn was pounding wildly in her chest.
"Mrs. Tan? Why would she call me that? What exactly did Tan Haoyu say to her?"
Zhu Ziqing was flustered, her face flushed instantly, and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
She quickly waved her hand, her voice trembling slightly: "Assistant Yang, please don't call me that, just call me Zhu Ziqing."
Yang Piaoliang, however, seemed not to have heard Zhu Ziqing's words and continued to smile.
There was a meaningful look in her eyes: "You are Mr. Tan's wife, that's a fact. Mr. Tan personally instructed me to take good care of you."
Zhu Ziqing was even more embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, "Assistant Yang, you may have misunderstood. Mr. Tan and I... it's not what you think. We just... just had some special circumstances."
Yang Piaoliang frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt: "Oh? President Tan told me this himself. Is there some hidden reason? However, my duty is to do things according to President Tan's instructions."
Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat. "Did Tan Haoyu really say that? How could he tell someone without my permission? What is this guy thinking?"
She looked at Yang Piaoliang with some helplessness: "Assistant Yang, this matter is rather complicated. In short, please don't call me that anymore, I'm not used to it."
Seeing Zhu Ziqing's embarrassed and flustered appearance, Yang Piaoliang was curious, but knew that some things should not be asked too much, so he nodded: "Okay, Zhu Ziqing, but this is President Tan's private territory. The fact that you can stay here means that you are not an ordinary person. President Tan treats you very specially."
Although Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu got married after a blind date that turned out to be a mistake, they eventually ended up together.
However, they did not engage in many intimate actions at the company.
Zhu Ziqing also didn't want her colleagues to treat her differently because of this.
Therefore, she did not want Yang Piaoliang to refer to her as "Mrs. Tan" at the company.
Zhu Ziqing's feelings for Tan Haoyu are complicated. She is grateful for his care at certain times, but also feels helpless about this sudden and bound relationship.
Of course, there was also dissatisfaction with his domineering style, so I subconsciously kept a certain distance from him.
Upon entering the villa, Zhu Ziqing was immediately drawn to the interior design.
There are no excessive ornate decorations here; everything appears so simple and natural, yet it exudes sophistication and luxury.
The wooden furniture exudes a faint fragrance, and several artworks hang on the walls, adding an elegant touch to the entire space.
Once inside, Yang Piaoliang left, leaving Zhu Ziqing standing there.
At this moment, Tan Haoyu walked over.
He looked at Zhu Ziqing calmly and said, "You can stay here. The environment is quite nice. I think you'll like it."
Zhu Ziqing hesitated for a moment and said, "President Tan, I think it would be better for me to live with my colleagues. It would be more convenient that way. Also, I don't want to seem too distant from everyone."
Tan Haoyu shook his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "This was arranged by Yang Piaoliang, and the resort is currently in high demand with no rooms available. Just stay here without worry."
Zhu Ziqing sighed helplessly, "Alright."
Tan Haoyu continued, "You can come and stay here more often on weekends. It's very quiet here, perfect for relaxing."
Zhu Ziqing quickly declined, "No need, Mr. Tan, that would be too wasteful, and I'm used to my own lifestyle. I don't want to enjoy special treatment just because of our relationship."
Tan Haoyu frowned slightly: "What's the waste? The environment here is nice, you'll like it. Besides, we're husband and wife, this is what you deserve."
Zhu Ziqing insisted on her own idea: "Really, it's not necessary, Mr. Tan. I think it's fine as it is now. I don't want to change my lifestyle."
