While in the warehouse, she had already explained to everyone that she had no relationship with Murong Xiao, but he didn't seem to listen.
Xiang Jin sighed. She didn't like this misunderstanding; it made her feel like she had betrayed Jia Nian.
"I shouldn't have slapped you yesterday. You won't hold it against me, will you? I just wanted to appease the Lu family, that's all." Yu Xingfa rubbed his hands together, speaking somewhat awkwardly.
Xiang Jin shook her head; she could understand the situation at the time.
Yu Xingfa's expression relaxed: "That's good. If you encounter any problems at work, just tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson for you. Also... you've been doing a good job here, so I'm going to give you a raise of 1,000 yuan. But you have to keep it a secret, okay? Don't let anyone else know."
Xiang Jin was stunned.
She wrote: Mr. Yu, if it's because I did a good job, then I'll gladly accept it; if it's for other reasons, then forget it.
She handed the note to Yu Xingfa and turned to enter the building.
Surprisingly, it was Lu Feifei who greeted her.
Upon seeing her, Lu Feifei was also quite shocked: "Miss Xiang, are you here to see President Xiao?"
Xiang Jin nodded and said in sign language, "He told me to come find him at this time."
"Please wait a moment." Lu Feifei checked the schedule and smiled slightly. "Okay, Miss Xiang, someone from the secretariat will come to take you up shortly."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
A moment later, the secretary arrived and respectfully led Xiang Jin out of the building: "Miss Xiang, Mr. Xiao is waiting for you in his car outside."
As soon as the two left, Li Man, the receptionist, came out again and immediately recognized Xiang Jin: "Hey, is this the same mute guy from last time?"
"Yes, I don't know what methods they used, but they actually managed to get in touch with CEO Xiao." Lu Feifei's tone was a little sour.
Last time, I asked Xiao Zhuo to take her to Hansheng, hoping to make things difficult for her and make her back down. Who knew she would be so shameless and keep pestering President Xiao.
……………………
Xiang Jin arrived outside the building.
A Rolls-Royce was parked at the entrance.
The car window rolled down, revealing Murong Xiao's handsome profile: "Miss Xiang, I helped you yesterday, so wouldn't you like to treat me to a meal?"
Xiang Jin was stunned.
He told me to come and get the bags, so why is he suddenly asking me to treat him?
However, he had indeed done her a great favor, so it was only right that she treat him to a meal. Xiang Jin thought for a moment and prepared to open the passenger door.
"Miss Xiang, please come to the back." The assistant opened the back door.
Xiang Jin was stunned. Was she being asked to sit with Murong Xiao?
It doesn't seem like a good idea.
"I'll sit in the front." She gestured in sign language, not caring whether he understood or not, and opened the passenger door and sat down.
"What would you like to eat?" After getting in the car, Xiang Jin wrote a note and handed it to the back seat.
Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow: "You're treating, you decide."
This puts Xiangjin in a bit of a difficult position.
Murong Xiao usually goes to places that are expensive and luxurious, where a single dish can consume most of her savings; if she goes to an ordinary place, she doesn't seem to have the sincerity to treat others.
After scratching his head and thinking for a while, Xiang Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She wrote down the address for the driver and headed towards her destination.
"Huadu No. 1 Middle School?" Standing at the school gate, Murong Xiao was slightly taken aback.
"This way." Xiang Jin gently patted his sleeve and led him to the second floor of the building next door.
There's a beef noodle shop on the second floor. The decor is a bit run-down, but the shop is fairly clean. However, they only sell beef noodles.
"Miss Xiang, are you planning to treat me to noodles?" He smiled slightly, surprised but not angry.
"This beef noodle shop is pretty good. I used to work here when I was in school, and I would sit here whenever I had free time." Xiang Jin sat down by the window in the corridor, opposite the school gate. She used to often peek at Murong Xiao from here.
Unexpectedly, he is now sitting right in front of her.
This feeling is truly amazing.
"Xiang Jin is here, want some beef noodles?" The owner, Wu Laosan, looked at Murong Xiao several times, hardly believing his eyes.
"Okay, two bowls, one without cilantro, and the one without cilantro, make it extra spicy." Xiang Jin wrote it down and handed it to the shopkeeper.
“What is this…” he pointed to her throat.
Xiang Jin smiled and said she was fine, which reassured the boss, who then went to cook noodles.
"Xiang Jin." Murong Xiao's tone rose slightly; it was the first time he had called her by her name.
Xiang Jin looked up at him.
"What is your relationship with Xiang Qi?" he asked.
"She's my older sister," Xiang Jin wrote, secretly surprised that he knew Xiang Qi. Or perhaps he was helping her because he was interested in her?
"Did you run over Lu Yifan?" he asked again.
Xiang Jin's hand trembled slightly, and his face turned pale: "I'm sorry, I caused the death of your fiancée. If you want to take revenge on me like the Lu family did, I have nothing to say."
"Did the Lu family retaliate against you?" He frowned slightly.
Xiang Jin nodded, not wanting to continue the topic: "By the way, about the necklace... was the necklace you gave me found in the gray bag?"
This is very important to Xiang Jin.
Murong Xiao looked into her eyes.
Actually, no. There was no necklace in the gray bag; he had someone buy an identical one, thinking that if things didn't go smoothly, he could use the necklace to settle things with her.
But he couldn't tell her the truth, so he could only deny it: "What else could I do?"
Xiang Jin panicked: "I didn't steal it. I didn't know there was a necklace inside when I withdrew the money. It really wasn't me!"
He was taken aback by her flustered state.
