Alarmed! (7)

The phone only rang a few times when the call to Liu Lingyu got through.

"Missus? It's you..." Liu Lingyu's mellow voice came through.

"Mmm, it's me. VP Liu, I've got some things to ask you." Xi Xiaye got right to the point.

"Do go ahead, Missus."

"How are the preparations for Qi Lei's new company coming along? I remember that his initial plan was to launch after the New Year, right?"

Xi Xiaye was actually not quite clear about Qi Lei's matters because it was Mu Yuchen who worried about them. They just let Liu Lingyu help, and Xi Xiaye trusted her abilities. Apart from the occasional check-in for assurance, she rarely got involved.
