Chapter 232 I'll give you 5 minutes
Tan Zhengchu led his seven children and the rest of the group to the Tan Group in a grand procession.
As soon as they entered the company, Tan Zhengchu and his team caused quite a stir.
The reception staff, the cleaning lady, and even the security guards all stood in the lobby, respectfully greeting him: "Good morning, Mr. Tan!"
Holding Qibao's hand, Tan Zhengchu smiled and introduced them to everyone: "These are my son and daughter. I brought them to the company today."
A girl at the front desk couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Tan, your children are so adorable! They're all like little stars!"
Qibao, Erbao, and Sanbao were a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, but their faces were beaming with happy smiles.
Da Bao and Liu Bao, on the other hand, appeared remarkably calm. The two followed Tan Zhengchu on his left and right, their actions and expressions mirroring his, as if they were two miniature versions of Tan Zhengchu.
Tan Zhengchu looked at the children's reactions with pride in his eyes.
He whispered to Su Yingxue beside him, "Look, how much they resemble us."
Su Yingxue smiled and nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
The group entered the elevator, and the children chattered excitedly about what they were going to see later.
The seven children followed Tan Zhengchu into the president's private elevator.
Qibao's eyes widened as he curiously surveyed the elevator, exclaiming, "Daddy, this place is so high-class! It feels like we're in a TV show!"
Tan Zhengchu frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the employees who were secretly peeking outside the elevator, and he understood.
He gently patted Qibao's head and said with a smile, "You're right, this place does look a bit like a scene from a TV show."
Qibao proudly raised his little face, and the other children chimed in, chattering excitedly.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Tan Zhengchu led Qibao ahead. When the secretary saw them, a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Good morning, Mr. Tan!" the secretary greeted warmly, then her gaze fell on Qibao, and she bent down to ask kindly, "Little friend, what's your name?"
Qibao blinked her big eyes and obediently replied, "Hello, sister, my name is Qibao. I'm here to accompany Daddy to work today!"
The secretary felt a flicker of embarrassment when she heard Qibao address her as "sister," but quickly regained her smile: "Qibao is so cute! Come on, let me take you to the office to play, okay?"
Tan Zhengchu nodded and said to his secretary, "Take them to my office, prepare some food and toys, and don't let them run around."
The secretary quickly agreed and took Qibao's little hand in hers: "Qibao, come with your big sister!"
Qibao and the other children happily followed the secretary, let go of Tan Zhengchu's hand, and went into the office.
Just then, another secretary hurried over and whispered to Tan Zhengchu, "Mr. Tan, there is a masked lady waiting for you in the lounge. She says she has something urgent to discuss and insists on seeing you."
Tan Zhengchu frowned, his tone indifferent: "Did she make an appointment?"
The secretary shook her head: "No, but she seemed very anxious and said you would definitely see her. I... I was a little nervous, so I asked her to wait in the lounge."
Tan Zhengchu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the lounge, his steps steady, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
In the office, Liu Bao and Da Bao noticed the direction Tan Zhengchu left in and exchanged a glance.
Liu Bao pushed up his little glasses and said in a low voice, "Daddy seems to have gone to the lounge. Should we go and see?"
Da Bao nodded, looking serious: "Yeah, maybe I can help Mommy protect Daddy."
The two quietly slipped out of the office and followed Tan Zhengchu toward the lounge.
Their movements were light and agile, like two kittens, completely unnoticed by anyone.
The door to the lounge was ajar. Tan Zhengchu pushed it open and entered, his gaze falling on the masked woman sitting on the sofa.
She wore an exquisite silver mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, which made her look mysterious and aloof.
"Who are you?" Tan Zhengchu asked directly, his tone tinged with wariness.
The mysterious woman slowly stood up, her voice low and hoarse: "Mr. Tan, I've long admired your name. I have something important I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Tan Zhengchu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If it's a business matter, please contact my secretary first. If it's a personal matter, I don't think we have anything to talk about."
The woman chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Mr. Tan, are you sure you want to refuse me? This matter concerns your... future."
Tan Zhengchu frowned even more, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a slight noise outside the door.
He turned his head and saw that Liu Bao and Da Bao were peering into the room from the doorway.
"What are you two doing here?" Tan Zhengchu's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Liu Bao and Da Bao exchanged a glance, and Da Bao said matter-of-factly, "Daddy, we're here to help Mommy protect you!"
Upon hearing the children's voices, the woman's expression shifted slightly, then she chuckled softly, "Mr. Tan, it seems your family life is quite lively. However, you'd better hear me about this privately."
Tan Zhengchu looked at the children, then at the lady, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll give you five minutes."
Liu Bao and Da Bao wanted to say something more, but Tan Zhengchu had already closed the door to the lounge.
The two stood outside the door, exchanged a glance, and Da Bao whispered, "What should we do? Will Daddy be in danger?"
Liu Bao pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Let's secretly listen to what Daddy has to say first, and then tell Mommy so she can decide."
Qibao, Erbao, Sanbao, and the other children followed the secretary into Tan Zhengchu's office.
The office is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the bustling city. Sunlight streams onto the soft carpet, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
As soon as the children entered, they excitedly ran to the carpet by the window and sat down.
Qibao took out a set of Barbie furniture from his schoolbag and began to arrange it carefully.
"This is Barbie's living room, this is her bedroom, and this is her kitchen!" Qibao said enthusiastically to the other children as she fiddled with the small pieces of furniture.
Erbao and Sanbao also came over to help build Barbie's house, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
The secretary stood aside, watching the children play so intently, and couldn't help but sigh, "Qibao is so lucky. She's President Tan's good daughter and has been able to enjoy such a good life since she was little."
She secretly resolved to learn more about what children like to eat and play in order to take better care of them.
At the same time, Tan Zhengchu walked into the president's office tea room.
The place is decorated like a high-end coffee shop, usually used to entertain important clients.
As soon as he entered, he saw an elegantly dressed woman wearing a black butterfly mask sitting on the sofa.
