“Not to mention a proposal, I’ve never even seen this in idol dramas before.”
“Tch! It’s already pretty good if you could see a single stalk in television dramas. But such a huge bunch would need so much money, so how could a production crew bear to spend on it? The production costs are mostly used to pay the artistes. As for the remaining amount, of course they have to save where they could. If not for the fact that it can be seen on camera, they would hate that they couldn’t just make a plastic bouquet for you.”
“That’s true. We just don’t know who this bouquet is for. It’s really romantic.”
“We will know just by asking around, right? I saw a colleague from the artiste department enter that elevator as well. We can ask in a bit.”
When the employees learned that the flower delivery boy went not only to the Deputy CEO’s office’s level but also directly into the Deputy CEO’s office, then passed the flowers to Han Zhuoling, every single one of their jaws dropped.
“Who would be so gutsy as to dare send flowers to Young Master Ling?”
The employees were all very shocked in private and felt extremely curious.
“But those are roses. It doesn’t seem like it was sent by a man or an elder.”
“Young Master Ling is young and handsome, and his previous marriage is really not much of a big deal for me. While his personality is a bit cold and he doesn’t look friendly, this won’t stop the gutsy ones from liking him. I’m just cowardly, but if I were a little more daring, I would like him too.”
“That’s true. Young Master Ling’s age is the perfect age. He is mature and calm, but not too old either. That face paired with his character, it’s really the epitome of ‘abstinence'[1]. If one could really take him down, that would really be comparable to an idol drama.”
“I just don’t know who would be so gusty as to do it,” someone said. “I wonder how Young Master Ling reacted after receiving the flowers?”
“I asked someone from the secretary’s office. Young Master Ling’s office is very quiet. He didn’t get angry.”
“Obviously. Since when did you ever see Young Master Ling screaming and shouting or throwing things around? Does he make a sound when he’s angry? He just gives a black face and keeps quiet, which is even scarier.”
“I really admire that brave comrade. Whether she succeeds or not, I still admire her.”
“I also think that, no matter which debutante or female celebrity it is, even if Young Master Ling is really unhappy, he won’t go to the extent of not giving her face. At most, he will just ignore her.”
As everyone was quietly talking about this, there was still an hour before it was time to get off work.
Han Zhuoling just took that huge bouquet of flowers and walked out of the company ostentatiously.
“Young Master Ling actually didn’t throw away the flowers!”
“Young Master Ling left with the flowers?”
“What the, who gave it to him? He actually gave them such a huge face.”
“Could it be… that actually, Young Master Ling is going to give it to someone? I feel that even if girls were to send gifts, it wouldn’t be flowers. This looks more like a man giving something to a woman.”
“Stop joking with us.”
“Stop kidding us.”
This guess was refuted by everyone.
“How would Young Master Ling know to give flowers to women?! Even if he’s really the one giving it, he would only give it to the elders in his family. As for other people, it’s impossible.”
“Hey, if you want to know, just ask someone about it.”
“It’s because we can’t find anyone to ask that we’re making wild guesses here. If we could ask, why would we still be guessing over here?”
“Tong Chunian might know about this, but like Zheng Tianming, his lips are sealed shut. If Young Master Han and Young Master Ling are not letting them say it, you can forget about finding out anything from them.”
“Aish! Exactly.”
“But, no matter what, we can just go and ask first. Who knows? Anyway, Young Master Ling is not around now, only Tong Chunian is. We can try to get something out from him, then talk about it again if we can’t.”
“Okay.” The few gossipy female colleagues then went to find him together with their friends.
