Ma Xiaoling was both scared and irritated by Beisitian, yet didn't dare to do anything to her. As soon as she saw her coming, she quickly went to greet her.
"Is Mr. Zhou in?" Beisitian asked.
"Yes, he's in his study." Ma Xiaoling said, guiding her to the back.
Zhou Jiren had specifically instructed that if Beisitian came to find him, she should inform him immediately.
Zhou Jiren was a major leader from the city, who was she, a small waitress, to question him? She didn't understand why a woman from the village gained his attention.
Of course, she wouldn't think much of it either, considering Beisitian's dry and thin appearance, who would be interested?
So, seeing Beisitian this time, there was not only fear but also curiosity.
"Miss Bei is here, please, come in and sit." Zhou Jiren put down the newspaper, looked up at her with a gentle smile.
