He used to seem like a pretty decent person, how come he's become so cunning now? Look at the undisguised mocking smile on his face, does he really think she'll fall for it?

Seeing that he couldn't fool Xu Xinchen, Chen Ningsheng immediately laughed, reached out and hugged her tightly: "Alright, alright, my baby, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me what really happened, okay?"

Xu Xinchen reached out and lightly punched Chen Ningsheng's chest, saying coquettishly, "All you do is tease me with your smooth talk all day long. What else could it be? I'm going to resign. I don't have any particularly important orders right now, and there aren't many things to hand over. My colleagues in the company can handle the rest, so my supervisor let me go without hesitation."

Chen Ningsheng nodded knowingly and gently kissed Xu Xinchen's forehead: "Since that's the case, why don't you come and help out at my company for a while?"

Xu Xinchen was taken aback and asked with a puzzled look, "Why do I want to come to your company to help out? Aren't you supposed to be learning design with Aunt Fang?"

Chen Ningsheng smiled and reached out to tap Xu Xinchen's nose: "Do you think Aunt Fang can quit her job without any time? Aunt Fang is a great designer. Now that she wants to come to our little-known company, of course she has to get away from that company first. She needs much more time than you do."

Xu Xinchen wrinkled her nose, but she wasn't angry because of Chen Ningsheng's words. After all, what Chen Ningsheng said was true; Aunt Fang's position in the company was already top-notch.

She was far beyond what a lowly employee like herself, who was just coasting along in the small sales department, could compare to. She said with a hint of envy, "Aunt Fang is really amazing. I wonder when I'll be able to become like her."

Chen Ningsheng was particularly confident about this: "I believe you will be quick. You are very talented. Even Aunt Fang praised the things you designed. Your achievements will definitely surpass those of many people in the future."

Xu Xinchen felt quite embarrassed by his praise, so she could only reach out and lightly punch his shoulder a few times: "Don't start praising me now, it puts a lot of pressure on me. What if I don't do well because of the pressure?"

Chen Ningsheng immediately replied without hesitation, "I'm not worried about that at all. That day will never come, and..." As he spoke, Chen Ningsheng smiled and glanced down at Xu Xinchen.

"And what?" Xu Xinchen grabbed his sleeve and asked with a face full of curiosity.

Chen Ningsheng shrugged: "And even if you can't make it in this industry, I will continue to support you, so you don't need to worry about your future at all."

Xu Xinchen was taken aback by his words, unsure whether to be angry or amused. She stared at him for a long while before giving him a playful shove on the shoulder: "Who needs you to support them? You're shameless."

The two of them cuddled together in the office for a while when there was a sudden knock on the door. Xu Xinchen was startled and immediately crawled out of Chen Ningsheng's arms.

Chen Ningsheng glanced at his empty arms, coughed unhappily, and looked at the doorway as if he were looking at an enemy: "Come in."

Chen Ningsheng's assistant, carrying a large stack of folders, pushed open the door and walked in: "President, these are all from today..."

The document needs your signature.

Chen Ningsheng nodded, looking at his assistant who was buried under a huge pile of folders, and said in an icy tone: "Bring them over, just put them on the table."

Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, the assistant frowned slightly. The president's tone sounded like he was in a bad mood. Had something happened at the company again?

He could only speculate in his heart, but Chen Ningsheng was still waiting for him, so he couldn't think too much. He could only turn his head to the side, carrying a large pile of documents, and walk step by step toward Chen Ningsheng's desk.

After placing the documents in her hand on the table, the assistant took a step back, letting out a sigh of relief, while her eyes also swept over Xu Xinchen standing to the side.

For a moment, his relaxed expression froze, and his eyes filled with panic as he looked at Chen Ningsheng: "I'm sorry, President, I...I didn't know. I'll leave right away. I'm so sorry."

As he spoke, the assistant hurriedly ran outside. When he reached the door, he immediately reached out and closed it. Only after walking outside the office did he feel like he had finally come back to life.

Outside the office, the secretary, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood with her arms crossed, looking at the assistant with a half-smile: "How was it? Did you feel a little scared after interrupting the boss's date?"

The assistant's face immediately darkened. He realized that the secretary had a strange smile on her face when he was about to go in, meaning that the secretary already knew and deliberately didn't remind him.

The secretary seemed to have seen through what he was thinking and spread her hands innocently: "I wanted to remind you, but you didn't listen to me carefully. You came over looking like you were in a real emergency and rushed to find the boss. What could I do?"

The assistant gritted his teeth in resentment. An excuse! It was all an excuse! That damned secretary just wanted to see him make a fool of himself!

The secretary didn't care at all what the assistant thought of her. Seeing the assistant's gloomy expression, she laughed heartily and turned back to her seat.

Turning his head to glance at the secretary, the assistant walked towards the exit with a gloomy expression. He wondered if his boss would hold a grudge for suddenly interrupting his boss's good time.

"Oh God, I'll do anything, just please don't deduct his salary!" The assistant prayed silently, his heart heavy with worry.

Xu Xinchen remained in a daze after her assistant showed that panicked expression. She didn't come to her senses until the assistant left the office, and then she looked at Chen Ningsheng with an incredulous expression.

“Ning Sheng…”

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Chen Ningsheng asked while flipping through the documents his assistant had just brought him.

Xu Xinchen cleared her throat and said with a serious expression, "I'd like to ask, is your assistant...?"

Xu Xinchen stopped mid-sentence. Chen Ningsheng looked up at her, puzzled. "Is it something?"
