Chapter 29 Chapter 29 "To please you."

Undergraduate students at Hangzhou University have always lived in four-person dormitories. When Xu Zhixi was a freshman, there were only three people in the dormitory and it was not full. Later, Chu Chaoyan from the music department was arranged to live with them.

We all have good-natured roommates, and when a new classmate suddenly joins the room, everyone will take the initiative to get along with her because they see that she likes to be alone.

But later Xu Zhixi discovered that their initiative was nothing but trouble to Chu Chaoyan.

She didn't seem to want the social aspect of school.

Chu Chaoyan was very busy every day. Besides his schoolwork, he also found time to learn flower arrangement, tea tasting, painting, and other elegant pursuits. At first, they would occasionally chat and attend classes together, but gradually, the conversations became less and less.

Compared to Xu Zhixi who rejected the wealthy and noble young men with indifference, Chu Chaoyan was more tactful. Not only did he not want to suffer any loss, but he also wanted to gain all the benefits from them and take the opportunity to enter the upper class.

Because of this, rumors spread throughout the school, saying that Chu Chaoyan was a man of limited means but ambitious, and that he was trying to get close to a more powerful family.

Xu Zhixi understood everyone's ambitions and didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing so. However, Chu Chaoyan later moved out of the dormitory and rented a house outside.

I don’t know if it was because of the pressure of the rumors or if it was more convenient for her to live outside.

She left silently. At first, her roommates in the dormitory fell into self-doubt, thinking that their excessive enthusiasm had caused trouble to each other, so they simply moved out and rented a house.

Four years later, Chu Chaoyan has transformed from a young and sophisticated female college student into the wife of the chairman of the Song Group, enjoying immense glory.

Not only did she not expect it, I'm afraid all the students in the school did not expect that someone who once worked hard under pressure to enter the upper class would now succeed.

Although Chu Chaoyan appeared to be easygoing, Xu Zhixi had not forgotten his current status. He was not someone she could easily cling to. She nodded slightly and said, "It's been a long time."

Chu Chaoyan smiled and said, "We're all old classmates, there's no need to be so formal. Let's sit down and have a cup of coffee together."

Xu Zhixi hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down at the seat opposite.

Chu Chaoyan looked at her and said, "I remember you didn't like bitter drinks, so I took the initiative to order this for you. I wonder if you can get used to it, try it."

Xu Zhixi couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect that she still remembered the words she had just said casually after so many years.

With such a good memory, it’s no wonder that she could become the wife of the chairman of the Song Group.

Excellent people can always find better people to match them.

Xu Zhixi said politely, "I can do anything. Thank you."

Chu Chaoyan could sense the other person's unfamiliarity, but he didn't say anything. He raised his coffee and took a sip, his posture skillful and his tone elegant: "I heard that you have only been working here for a short time?"

Xu Zhixi's heart moved slightly, realizing that the other party had obviously done a background check before coming here, and he spoke more carefully: "Yes, he just came here not long ago."

"With your ability, it would be easy for you to go to a bigger company. Why did you choose to come here?"

"As long as there is room for development, it doesn't matter where you go."

Chu Chaoyan nodded and smiled: "You are still the same as before."

"In the past?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Let it be."

Xu Zhixi remained silent.

Although she used to appear calm and composed, she wasn't one to just go with the flow. She was actually afraid of future life changes, otherwise she wouldn't have pursued stability and ultimately decided to take the civil service exam.

Her mentality has always been unstable.

But there was no need to confess this to Chu Chaoyan. She just said, "Choosing Hertz was also my plan. It's not really about going with the flow."

"Plan..." Chu Chaoyan repeated the word softly between his lips and teeth, his gentle gaze falling on her beautiful face. His voice was neither hurried nor slow, "So, is attending the dinner party also your plan?"

Xu Zhixi frowned slightly, but her fair face remained calm and composed. She said calmly, "It just so happened that a friend of mine received an invitation, so I had the honor of taking advantage of it. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you and your husband in person for giving me such a big gift."

Chu Chaoyan supported his chin with one hand, a smile in his eyes: "I didn't even know you were at the banquet. If it weren't for my husband, I wouldn't have had the chance to give you a gift."

She doesn't know?

Xu Zhixi's eyes flashed with confusion. She didn't understand why she would give such an expensive gift if she didn't know who the other person was. But as a wealthy family, how could she let herself suffer a loss? Naturally, she would act in a profitable way.

But after a moment, the emotion in Xu Zhixi's eyes quickly dissipated: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Song would be you."

…

After leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Lingyuan went straight to Song Jing's office in the client department. The people in the client department were very busy, especially the executives, who were rarely on the job and rarely came back to the office.

Finding that the office was empty, Jiang Lingyuan came out with a frown.

When someone saw her, they immediately nodded timidly: "Boss Jiang."

In the entire company, except for the senior executives, there is basically no employee who is not afraid of Jiang Lingyuan.

Jiang Lingyuan asked, "Where is Mr. Song?"

The employee thought for a moment and said, "Boss Song went to the creative department."

"What is he going to do?"

"It should be about the R9 smart bracelet."

The employees under him did not know that Song Jing was not actually responsible for any Hertz project. He was just using the empty title of Deputy Director of Hertz's Customer Department to do his own thing. However, Jiang Lingyuan knew it very well.

So Song Jing went to the creative department not for the R9 smart bracelet.

She raised her hand to signal him that he could leave, and the employees left quickly as if they had been pardoned.

Jiang Lingyuan came over suddenly just to confirm one thing.

If she was not sure about Song Jing's identity at first, now that she saw the new wife of the chairman of the Song Group, she was suddenly certain.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

A seemingly absurd conjecture is confirmed by an equally fantastic coincidence, so this conjecture is most likely the truth.

Who would have thought that the wife of Chairman Song would appear in their small Hertz.

Thinking of Song Jing's identity, Jiang Lingyuan couldn't help but take a breath and strode towards the creative department.

However, when I arrived at the creative department, the result was the same: Song Jing had already left.

Jiang Lingyuan frowned.

Liao Keke, who was sitting at her workstation, raised her hand hesitantly: "Boss Jiang, it seems that Teacher Gene went downstairs to look for Xu Zhixi."

After saying that, Liao Keke saw Jiang Lingyuan leave without looking back, and she couldn't help but look at Sister Pei opposite her.

"What's going on today?" Liao Keke showed surprise on her delicately made-up face, "Why is everyone looking for Xiaoxi?" And wasn't it President Jiang who called Xiaoxi away just now, why did she come back alone now?

Sister Pei looked at her meaningfully: "It shows that Xiaoxi is very capable at work, which is why so many senior executives pay attention to her."

Liao Keke understood immediately, her expression hurt: "Sister Pei, I have tried my best."

Sister Pei: "First, you should change your habit of picking out the right lipstick color during work hours."

Liao Keke: “…”

After being frustrated for two seconds, she cheered up and asked with a smile: "Hey, Sister Pei. Don't you think Gene has some... well, some feelings towards Xiaoxi?"

Sister Pei lowered her head and was busy, ignoring her.

"I'm serious!"

Sister Pei glanced at her and said, "You little girl, if you don't think about your work all day, you will only talk about Xiaoxi and Gene. Why don't you just be their matchmaker?"

Liao Keke said embarrassedly: "I want to too. But don't you see who has taken a fancy to our Xiaoxi..." In the future, she might become the young lady of the Song family. No matter how outstanding their teacher Gene is, he can't beat the Song Group.

"What?" Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and Sister Pei couldn't hear clearly.

Liao Keke coughed dryly: "Nothing."

It's nothing more than that she was favored by the Song family and had the possibility of becoming the wife of the Song heir.

It seems that Gene and their creek are destined not to be together.

…

When Song Jing arrived at the first floor lobby, he saw from a distance Xu Zhixi sitting opposite a woman, with a female assistant in a small suit standing beside them. The woman had her back to him, so he couldn't see her face, but Song Jing still frowned.

The two chatted for a long time, but Xu Zhixi barely touched the coffee on her desk. It was obvious that the other party wasn't really there to reunite with her old classmates, and with Chu Chaoyan's current status, she naturally couldn't relax.

What's more, she couldn't figure out Chao Yan's intentions.

Every word he said seemed to have a deeper meaning, as if he was happy that she came to the dinner, but also as if he had some doubts about her attendance at the party that night.

I gave her gifts and also took her into consideration.

It's really confusing to understand the attitude.

The wealthy family's words were too roundabout, and Xu Zhixi felt a headache, but he couldn't suddenly say to them, "Can you please be frank?" That would be too rude.

It also makes her look very unintelligent.

Maybe it's really not interesting?

Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, Xu Zhixi sighed silently in her heart, thinking that it was time for her to leave. However, just as she was about to speak, she saw a tall figure walking towards them.

She was stunned for only half a second before Chu Chaoyan noticed something was wrong and followed her gaze. When she saw the person coming, a look of surprise flashed across her calm eyes.

Seeing Song Jing approaching, Chu Chaoyan stood up from her chair. She never acted like an elder in front of him, and said in a gentle voice, "Song..."

"Why is Miss Chu here?" Song Jing spoke in time, interrupting her before she said the word "Young Master".

Chu Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, then met his deep eyes. He quickly adjusted his mood and raised his lips slightly: "I just came here to meet a friend. How about you?"

Song Jing hummed, looked at Xu Zhixi behind her, and opened his thin lips slightly, but before he could say anything, the girl's respectful voice came: "Then you guys chat, I still have work to do, so I'll leave first."

Xu Zhixi nodded to the two of them. When she passed by the man, he subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but she calmly avoided him and left.

Although the two people's movements were subtle, the careful Chu Chaoyan still noticed them and his heart moved slightly.

After Xu Zhixi walked away, she asked gently, "Does Young Master Song know Zhixi?"

Chu Chaoyan knew the Song family's character very well and would never inquire into their private affairs in private. Therefore, she had no way of knowing his relationship with Xu Zhixi through Song Qiming. She could only meet Xu Zhixi in private as an old classmate. She also didn't know that Song Jing was working at Hertz.

She was naturally surprised to see Song Jing here suddenly.

What was even more unexpected was that Song Jing actually had an unusual relationship with Xu Zhixi.

Song Jing didn't answer, and looked at her with a distant gaze: "If I remember correctly, Miss Chu and Xu Zhixi are not very close."

The implication was that their relationship was not that close, so there was no need for her to make a special trip and say that they were just meeting friends.

Chu Chaoyan tightened his grip slightly, but a perfect smile remained on his face. "You might not know this yet, but your father gave her a set of jewelry when I hosted a party last time. Later I found out she was my former college classmate, so I thought of saying hello."

Song Jing's voice was emotionless: "Didn't Miss Chu also give her a set of jewelry?"

Chu Chaoyan hadn't expected someone who had never paid attention to these matters to know everything today. Knowing she couldn't hide it from him, she pursed her lips and evaded the point, "I didn't know it was Zhixi at the time. I just thought that since your father valued her so much, as the host, I should show some appreciation."

Song Jing smiled in an ambiguous tone, "Okay."

As if afraid of being misunderstood, Chu Chaoyan added: "I just want to be your father's wife, it's not my own thing. Master Song, I hope you can understand."

Song Jing looked at the woman's beautiful and harmless face, and did not miss the moment her tightly clenched fingers loosened. Her deep eyes were calm, and she didn't say anything.

He didn't intend to delve into it further. After figuring out Chao Yan's purpose, he turned around and went back.

Compared to Chu Chaoyan, Xu Zhixi is in the biggest trouble now.

Seeing Song Jing walking away, Wu Wei, who had been huddled in the corner silently, finally spoke up: "Madam, it seems that Miss Xu is not an easy target to deal with." Before, Mr. Song treated her differently, and even Young Master Song treated her differently.

Chu Chaoyan looked at her silently.

Wu Wei immediately fell silent.

"When did I say I would deal with Xu Zhixi?" Chu Chaoyan's eyes were calm, but Wu Wei's heart still trembled.

Wu Wei lowered her eyes: "I was worrying too much."

…

Xu Zhixi went all the way back to her workstation and worked diligently in front of the computer. Liao Keke wanted to ask her what she was doing outside, but seeing that her face looked strange, she kept silent.

A message came in on the phone, and Xu Zhixi glanced at the phone screen.

Song Jing: [Come to my office?]

Xu Zhixi simply ignored it.

If that priceless Patek Philippe watch couldn't prove anything, then what was going on between him and Chu Chaoyan just now? Song Jing had returned from studying abroad, so it was impossible that he and Chu Chaoyan were classmates.

A few minutes later, Song Jing sent another message: [Then I'll come find you?]

Xu Zhixi took a deep breath and quickly replied: "Busy, no time."

Song Jing knew that he couldn't make the other person angry, so he just replied "OK" and then behaved himself and stopped disturbing him.

They were busy until seven in the afternoon, and Song Jing didn't send any more messages during that time. Xu Zhixi put away his phone, thinking that he had to work overtime again tonight. He chose a time to go downstairs to buy coffee while the coffee shop downstairs was still open.

Working overtime is commonplace at Hertz, and at this hour, people are still coming in and out of the lobby on the first floor.

The coffee station was located in the multifunctional area on the first floor. It was a chain coffee brand introduced by the company and was open to the public. Otherwise, the poorly made coffee would not have been palatable to Chu Chaoyan, let alone someone sitting here.

Xu Zhixi waited several minutes for her coffee, waiting in front of someone. Turning around, she nearly bumped into someone else waiting in line very close behind her. In a split second, a large hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back firmly.

"Sorry, sorry!" The other party apologized repeatedly, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at the owner of the hand.

Xu Zhixi's gaze followed the bony hand upwards, finally landing on the man's overly handsome face. Her heart skipped a beat without warning, and she reflexively pulled her arm back, her voice strained. "It's okay."

After the man walked away, Xu Zhixi suppressed the turmoil in his eyes, looked around casually, and then turned his gaze to the man beside him.

At this time, there were not many people in the lobby on the first floor, but there were still a few colleagues scattered around.

However, those vague glances were enough to make Xu Zhixi feel pressured.

Even when they were working on the same project together, she often accepted his guidance and would actively seek help. It was true that before the relationship, she was open and honest, but after the relationship was confirmed, she became extremely cautious, afraid that even the slightest clue would be discovered.

Song Jing took in her fearful expression. A barely perceptible smile crossed his eyes, but he maintained the composure expected of a superior. "Want some coffee?"

Xu Zhixi immediately adjusted her expression, her fair face gentle and harmless, a completely respectful attitude towards her leader. However, she was a little colder than usual.

"Thank you, Mr. Song, for what you did just now."

Song Jing frowned, lowered his voice deliberately, and tried to reason with her: "I think we need to communicate."

Xu Zhixi looked up and smiled at him: "Okay."

Song Jing was stunned by her promise so readily. After coming to his senses, he heard her say, "Then I'll go back to the department to finish my work and come back later. Please wait a few more minutes, Teacher Song."

Song Jing finally smiled: "Okay."

Returning to the department, Xu Zhixi finished some unfinished work, looked up at his colleagues who were working hard in the office area, and stood up to go to Song Jing's office.

For fear of being misunderstood, she even deliberately held a few documents in her arms.

When I arrived at the customer department, I was so cautious that I wished I didn't exist at all.

However, this is obviously impossible.

Although Xu Zhixi had just joined the company, everyone knew that Young Master Li Ji was pursuing her fiercely downstairs in the company. In addition, the two departments often came into contact, so naturally everyone knew Xu Zhixi.

In addition, Xu Zhixi has outstanding looks, and most people will never forget her after seeing her, so it is impossible for her to keep a low profile.

Fortunately, everyone was busy with work at that time, and although they were curious, they did not delve too much into it.

Song Jing's office was a glass partition with blinds drawn, preventing anyone from seeing what was going on inside. Xu Zhixi knocked twice on the door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.

The office was very quiet. Song Jing raised his eyes from the document and looked at the woman who was walking towards him with a stern face. He raised his hand to close the document and put it aside.

"Coming?"

Of course I will come.

Xu Zhixi placed the documents in his hand on the table. He looked calm, but in his heart he had already cursed him a thousand times. He said with a stern face, "We can communicate now."

Song Jing stood up from his chair and walked around his desk toward her. His gray shirt shone with a textured sheen under the light, framing his handsome face and making him look inexplicably elegant and noble.

Seeing him approach, Xu Zhixi couldn't help but glance at the closed door. She unconsciously took a half step back, her pretty face turning serious. "If you want to communicate, then communicate. Why are you standing so close to me?"

Song Jing had no choice but to stand where he was and said helplessly, "I'm not familiar with Chu Chaoyan."

"Not familiar?" Xu Zhixi's IQ was obviously online now, "You even know her name."

"Just because you know the name means you're familiar with it?" He laughed. "That's a bit unreasonable."

Xu Zhixi pursed her lips: "Don't try to lie to me. Chu Chaoyan is the wife of the chairman of the Song Group. How could she be so polite to you for no reason?" With Chu Chaoyan's current status, there are few people in the world who can make her treat them with such respect and courtesy.

Song Jing suppressed the emotion in his eyes: "Do you really need to know?"

"Yes." Xu Zhixi spoke firmly, looking straight into his eyes, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"I'll think about it for a few days."

“…”

Xu Zhixi opened his eyes wide. Even at this point, he still needed to consider it for a few more days?

Does he want to be single?

Song Jing stepped forward and ruffled her hair: "I promise, within a week, I will tell you everything."

Xu Zhixi slapped his hand away: "Do you think I will believe it?"

This man who tells lies all the time, who knows how many things he has hidden from her.

"So angry?" Song Jing frowned.

nonsense.

Xu Zhixi kept a certain distance from him, thinking that she must ask something today. Suddenly, a walnut-colored wooden fish appeared in front of her. The man's almost cold white fingers held the fish tail and handed it to her.

Xu Zhixi was stunned.

He said seriously: "Knocking this, I heard it can calm your mind."

“…”

Xu Zhixi was so angry that he died.

At this time, this man is still provoking her?

He really wants to be single.

…

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Xu Zhixi got off work. He took a taxi home and Song Jing followed behind.

After getting out of the car and walking into the community, Song Jing followed silently, holding the "dead" wooden fish in his hand.

After opening the door, Xu Zhixi glanced at the man behind her. She wanted to refuse him entry, but after thinking about it, she changed her shoes and went in without closing the door.

The man was clearly trying to please her. Just as Xu Zhixi was about to get a glass of water, he immediately stepped forward, picked up the water cup before her, and filled it for her. "Are you thirsty?" he asked with a smile.

Xu Zhixi noticed that he was still holding the wooden fish with a broken corner in his hand, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, and he was very suspicious whether he did it on purpose.

She closed her eyes, suppressed her emotions, took the cup of water, drank two sips and put it down.

She turned and walked towards the bedroom, and he followed.

Xu Zhixi pretended not to see him, opened the wardrobe, took out a clean pair of pajamas, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

The man was already inside and had squeezed toothpaste for her and prepared hot water.

Xu Zhixi: “…”

What are you doing?

Do you think she will not care about it?

Then he should put down the wooden fish in his hand. Is he going to sleep with it on?

Xu Zhixi didn't take the toothbrush for a long time. Song Jing moved his thin lips slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the toothbrush in his hand was pulled away.

Xu Zhixi didn't look at him and brushed her teeth carefully in front of the mirror. After three minutes, she spit out the foam and prepared to change into her pajamas.

However, just as his hand touched the button of his shirt, he suddenly remembered the gangster in the bathroom and turned to glare at him: "Why don't you get out..."

As soon as the last word fell, the man's slender fingers covered the buttons of the clothes and easily unbuttoned one.

Xu Zhixi was stunned, shocked by his smooth movements. After reacting, he suddenly covered his chest and asked, "What are you doing?"

Song Jing finally placed the wooden fish on the shelf. His deep features were accentuated by the soft light from the bathroom, making him look particularly handsome. He looked at the girl's wary expression and said in a gentle, gentlemanly voice, "To please you."
