To be frank, Li Xi felt that Luo Jingxuan doted on her so much that he would give her everything she wanted. Therefore, she had become somewhat arrogant during this period.
This experience is quite novel.
Having been a solo artist for over twenty years, Li Xi wasn't entirely sure how someone acted when they liked someone, nor was she entirely sure whether Luo Jingxuan's feelings for her were truly romantic. She wasn't even sure whether her dependence on him or her was truly romantic. She simply felt incredibly comfortable and happy spending time with him.
Although she occasionally wanted to get close to him, Li Xi didn't think it was because she was attracted to Luo Jingxuan, but because she was bewitched by his beauty. After all, from the first moment she saw Luo Jingxuan, she felt that this villain's face was exactly what she liked, and his voice was pleasant, but his expression was a little cold.
After a while of random thoughts, Li Xi suddenly remembered Assistant Jiang, this poor worker who was not only enslaved by his boss, but also at his beck and call. Li Xi, a former worker, suddenly felt guilty, "Well, I always seem to be bothering Assistant Jiang. Is that bad?"
"This is his job." Unlike Li Xi's guilty conscience, Luo Jingxuan spoke with confidence.
"That's true, but because of me, his workload has increased a lot. How about..." Li Xi wanted to ask, "How about a raise?" The boss's favorite thing to say is "a raise," bar none. But when she met Luo Jingxuan's eyes, Li Xi felt inexplicably guilty, as if she was cheating her honest husband out of his money to support a gigolo (not really). So she settled for the next best thing, "How about a year-end bonus?"
Luo Jingxuan looked at Li Xi indifferently, his tone was Polish, "Assistant Jiang's year-end bonus is already six figures."
Li Xi: "..." We are not the same group of workers. We are lighting candles for ourselves who were ecstatic about receiving a year-end bonus of more than 10,000 years.
"Then give him an extra 1,000 yuan as payment for my service."
Luo Jingxuan: "..." You might have a grudge against Assistant Jiang, who would you be embarrassed by a thousand yuan? Although he thought so, Luo Jingxuan did not intend to refuse. After all, Assistant Jiang always came to eat for free, so helping Li Xi with things could be considered as meal money.
"good."
Hearing Luo Jingxuan agree so readily, Li Xi felt a little embarrassed. Assistant Jiang was Luo Jingxuan's right-hand man, but she just gave him away for a thousand yuan. It was really hard to describe.
However, her mind was not on this at the moment, and the shame passed in a moment. During the period of shame, Li Xi also took the time to forward the dinner information sent to her by Mian Lao Si to Luo Jingxuan.
As a boss who has been dealing with documents for a long time, Luo Jingxuan quickly extracted the key elements from the documents sent by Li Xi, and then quickly drew conclusions from the information.
"This charity dinner isn't very high-end, not up to the standard of the Luo family. However, we have some small cooperation with the organizer, so we can still have a say. Just give the information to Assistant Jiang and let him make the arrangements."
"Okay." Li Xi nodded. It seemed that the style of this dinner party was not very high, and the organizer was not very strong either. Assistant Jiang could handle it directly, and there was no need for Luo Jingxuan to condescend to make a phone call.
After finishing the conversation, Li Xi pulled Luo Jingxuan aside to chat about their daily lives, talking about any funny or embarrassing things that happened today, Jingchu's childish talk, etc. Li Xi was very excited when she talked, and Luo Jingxuan listened patiently, even though he still had a lot of work waiting for him.
However, the two didn't chat for long before Li Xi said she was tired and ready to go back to exploit Assistant Jiang.
Assistant Jiang was truly Luo Jingxuan's right-hand man. Li Xi had made her request the night before, and the next morning, Assistant Jiang had given her the result—no problem, it had been arranged. He also helped Li Xi and Su Yuan get two invitations.
On the day of the dinner, Li Xi went to Tang Tang's styling studio early to get a beautiful outfit perfect for running. She chose a midi skirt made of soft fabric that wouldn't feel tight even with large movements. She also chose small flat leather boots so she wouldn't have to worry about twisting her ankle or falling.
Well, anything can happen in the Shura Field, so it doesn't hurt to be cautious.
When Li Xi arrived at the hotel, Su Yuan had been waiting for quite a while. Although the two had chatted online for a long time, they had never met in person. This could actually be considered a face-to-face meeting between online friends.
Before meeting him, Li Xi was a little nervous, unsure if she could be as relaxed and at ease in person as she was chatting online. But once she met him, her trepidation quickly dissipated. Su Yuan's attire was simply too dandy; he looked more like a peacock spreading its feathers to court a mate than a melon-eater.
His hair, parted 3:7, was slightly curled and gelled, giving it a sculpted, fluffy look from a distance. He wore a shirt with images of ancient Chinese mythical beasts, paired with a mid-length coat lined with rabbit fur, and a hat with a fringe of pure white fur. His suit pants and leather shoes weren't anything special, but it was clear they were custom-made and expensive.
Li Xi didn't want to ask him why he was wearing such a flashy outfit today, so she led the group to the seats assigned to them by the "organizer". On the way, Su Yuan explained the seating arrangements for tonight.
Su Yuan didn't comment after hearing this. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, "Boss Luo is so good to you."
"???" Li Xi was puzzled. Aren't they talking about tonight's business? Why did they bring up Luo Jingxuan? "What nonsense! I was just talking to you about the seats."
"I was just talking about the seats." Su Yuan looked over innocently and shrugged. "Boss Luo actually agreed to such an outrageous request. It's definitely a favor to you."
