Shi Xing explained, "I was in a meeting when you called just now, so I didn't answer. You're not angry, are you?"

Su Xian relaxed, her tension eased: "No, I'm not angry."

The swing gently swayed back and forth.

He felt satisfied looking at Shi Xing on the screen, who was wearing frameless glasses and had her hair in a low bun.

He began to talk about what he had done in the past few days.

Shi Xing looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "I've been quite busy in the capital lately. Yaoxing has three artists endorsing Yunshuyunwai, and I originally reserved a spot for you..."

Su Xian quickly explained, "I didn't call you to ask for an endorsement. I just wanted to know how you were doing over there."

“I know, but I’ve also said I would support your career and give you the best resources.”

Shi Xing tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear: "The jewelry spokesperson for Qingshan Ferry is reserved for you. They will contact you tomorrow. In the future, when your status rises a notch, I can give you resources from brands under LVMH."

Su Xian paused for a moment, then said, "My resources are already good enough."

"So you're satisfied so easily? You'd better think carefully about how many people want to get on my good side. Don't you know how many people want to connect with me?"

With Xia Qixian's provocative face and words flashing through her mind, Su Xian shook her head: "I know, I will do my best."

"Hmm, it's six o'clock. Have you eaten yet?"

Su Xian shook her head and honestly replied, "Not yet."

"What would you like to eat? I'll have someone send it to you."

"I'm going to be on a TV show tomorrow, so I've been controlling my diet lately."

Shi Xing recalled his slender frame: "You're too thin. There's no need to keep dieting. Eat more."

Su Xian picked at her hands and muttered, "I eat a lot, but I'm afraid I'll get water retention tomorrow."

Shi Xing frowned as she looked at his exquisite and flawless face: "You're already perfect enough, a little bit of swelling won't affect you."

"The lens will magnify the flaws."

Yaoxing's resources are biased towards him, and everyone in the company knows that Shixing treats him specially.

At first, everyone thought they were friends, but later, somehow their relationship became known, and some people in the company would always compare them.

He didn't want to embarrass Tokiyuki if he was criticized for any shortcomings.

Shi Xing keenly sensed his hidden emotions, but instead of asking directly, she subtly probed him in a joking manner.

"Which show is it from? I'll call them and have them retouch the photos for you properly."

"No need, don't bother them, I can manage my image well." Su Xian nervously shook her head and refused.

"I never thought our Ah Xian would have appearance anxiety!"

"I... I don't want others to see me looking ugly."

Su Xian stammered, and Shi Xing pretended not to notice, instead talking to him about other things.

Just before hanging up the phone, Su Xian suddenly asked cautiously, "I have a job offer in Beijing the day after tomorrow, can I go?"

Shi Xing raised the corner of her eye: "Announcement? You've already accepted it?"

"No, I will reply before today."

She nodded: "In that case, come over. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."

"Okay!" Su Xian visibly cheered, and the camera swayed slightly as he swung on the swing.

After ending the call with him, Shi Xing immediately contacted Junxuan in the capital.

"Go check if anything has happened to Su Xian recently, and also check the situation inside the company."

Junxuan immediately understood what she meant: "Yes, Miss, I will handle it."

"Mm." Shi Xing was very confident in his efficiency; Junxuan would take care of everything for her.

Sure enough, it was evening when Junxuan sent out a message, recounting all the recent events.

Shi Xing's eyes were completely black, as calm as the sea.

"This kind of thing is not allowed to happen again in the company."

"Yes, miss."

"By the way, since they're curious, let them know."

"yes."

At first, Su Xian didn't want anyone in the company to know about his relationship with Shi Xing, but anyone could guess a thing or two about Shi Xing's actions.

However, since it wasn't made public, and Shi Xing had Xu Bai by his side, everyone was guessing that Su Xian was just a nobody with no official status.

Many people didn't take him seriously, thinking that he was just lucky to have gained Shi Xing's favor and that he would be discarded soon.

Since they're so eager to know, let's just grant their wish.

Shi Xing closed his eyes and pretended to sleep: A-Xian, this is not something I wanted to make public; it was something I had no choice but to do.

The next day, after recording the show, Su Xian returned to the company to coordinate work with Qingshan Ferry, but felt that the atmosphere in the company was strange.

Some people glanced at him discreetly, but when he looked back, they quickly looked down and shifted their gaze. Others smiled and greeted him in a friendly manner.

Although it was strange, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He just felt that the other person was very curious, like someone who was watching a drama unfold.

Back in his private space, a colleague he got along with well asked in a secretive whisper, "Brother Xian, are you and President Shi together? What about Mr. Xu Bai?"

Su Xian stood there, stunned, her mind blank.

The other person was still asking, "Are you a family of three? Hehehe~"

As she spoke, she chuckled lewdly, "This is so sweet! I ship you and President Shi, and I also ship President Shi and Xu Bai. I never thought I had such good taste!"

Su Xian didn't know what expression to make: "Where did you know that?"

My colleague tilted his head in surprise: "Didn't you know? This morning, Mr. Shi's assistant, Mr. Junxuan, held a large meeting at the company, and everyone was there."

She looked around to make sure no one was watching before continuing, "He said that President Shi heard rumors circulating in the company that you are President Shi's mistress."

When she mentioned her "little lover," she coughed awkwardly. "Mr. Shi said he's not a little lover, but a proper boyfriend. And those annoying guys who always gossiped about you have all been fired."

"Who would want an artist who's been fired by Yaoxing? Their careers are basically over. I heard that if any negative comments about you are leaked, Shenghan will sue them to the bitter end..."

Su Xian's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

His earlobes were burning hot, and he could no longer hear what the other person said afterward; all he could think about was Shi Xing's image.

"I understand, thank you."

He quickly returned to his office, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already dialed Shi Xing's number.

Before the call could even end, the other end answered: "What's wrong, Xianbao?"

"Thank you for today." Su Xian pursed her lips. "I mean I'm very happy and want to fly to your side right now to see you."

He remembered that Shi Xing had told him not to always use polite phrases like "thank you" when talking to her.

He gazed intently at that beautiful face, as if the person before him was his entire world.

Shi Xing smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have Junxuan come pick you up now."
