Chapter 608: The empire’s lost treasures
It was true that she asked Bear to find a replacement for her brother and the efficient manager had given a list of five possible candidates. Of the five, she had narrowed down her preferred candidate to one but she had not yet shared that choice with anyone.
"I guess now is a good time as any to tell you, however keep it on the low because we have not even approached this individual yet with an official offer. The offer will only be made after I share the name with Chi Wei and Bear."
"So, who is it? Please don’t give me a difficult boss, Chi Rui was so easy going and comfortable to talk to." Lili held her hands together, in a pleading gesture as if she was praying.
Rize tugged on Xue Lili’s ear and pulled it hard, "Do you mean that my husband is soft?"
"No, no." She replied as she hissed. "You, Rize, let go of me that actually hurts."
Chi Lian ignored the antics of her two friends and searched for her husband in the room. He was discussing something with his brothers privately at one of the tables.
As if drawn to each other in a mythical way, when she looked up and saw him, he looked and saw her as well. He smiled, and she waved at him.
"You two make me sick with jealousy." Xue Lili commented. "Somebody please break my husband out from that government lab. Two months he has been working on some project and I have only seen his face through the phone. By the way, princess, Rui is not your husband yet."
It seemed to Chi Lian that whenever they were together, Lili and Rize behaved like a cat and a dog that liked each other but also enjoyed scratching each other.
