Chapter 83: How stunning is the Sun Goddess? I believe the men present...
Early in the morning, the president's office of Jiangrun was shrouded in panic over Mandy's dismissal.
Colleague A: "Did you hear? HR processed Mandy's resignation overnight."
Colleague B: "No wonder I can't see anyone today."
Colleague C: "So what happened? Sister Mandy has been Mr. Shen's confidant since he took over the company."
Colleague A: "Oh, it's that piece of land on the outskirts of the city!" Mr. Shen was furious.
Colleague C: "But Mandy wasn't the person in charge. This is really an unprovoked disaster."
Colleague A: "I'm taking the blame for someone. I just feel sorry for Mandy, she has a child to raise on her own."
Xuan Qing stood in front of the drinking water machine with a solemn expression. Even the sound of running water could not drown out the gossip. Glancing sideways, he saw that the independent workstation next to the water machine, which used to be filled with various folders and photos of children, was now empty.
Water was still flowing out of the spout, and before I knew it, it was overflowing from the cup.
It was at this moment that Shen Qianfan appeared in the CEO's office and flicked the switch with one finger: "The water is full."
The gossip and chatter stopped abruptly, replaced by respectful calls of "Mr. Chen".
Xuan Qing's breath hitched for a moment. In just two seconds, his expression changed completely. When he turned around again, he had put on a proper smile. "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Qianfan looked in the direction she had been staring at. There was nothing interesting about the empty tables and chairs. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his dark eyes beneath the gold-rimmed lenses. "Secretary Xuan, are you free to go on an outing with me?"
"Do I need to bring any documents?" Xuan Qing asked.
The answer she got was the tall figure of a man in a suit and tie, and a voice floating overhead: "No, it's a private trip."
The half-hour drive lasted for half an hour with zero communication. When they arrived at the destination, Xuan Qing realized that the private itinerary Shen Qianfan mentioned was actually to accompany him to visit a high-end jewelry exhibition of a certain brand, and it was a private exhibition.
We were led into a private rest room by a special person. Looking around, we could see the luxurious style of the space. Jewelry was placed on the low table for people to appreciate, and each piece and set attracted the attention.
Xuan Qing couldn't move for some reason and asked, "Boss Shen, what is this?"
Shen Qianfan raised his hand nonchalantly and motioned her to sit next to him: “Oh, let me ask you to come over and try which one is suitable as a gift.”
Give it to someone?
Under the beautiful light and shadow, Xuan Qing glanced at the still yet not-so-still jewelry in front of him. The priceless colorful stones were dazzling, and every blink of an eye presented a new dazzling experience.
Such a generous gift doesn't seem to be a gift for an ordinary person, or to be more precise, not an ordinary woman.
Under instructions, the staff carefully took out the necklace named Sun Goddess, which has a teardrop yellow diamond as the main stone, and put it on Xuan Qing.
The moment the button was fastened, her waist straightened spontaneously, and she exuded the smell of money from the inside out. Xuan Qing looked at herself in the mirror. The diamond fire under her collarbone was shining continuously, and it was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
After not receiving any feedback for a long time, Shen Qianfan asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Xuan Qing stared at the mirror, unable to move his eyes away, and subconsciously confided what was in his heart: "Nothing, just a little sore in the neck."
Someone brought over some thirst-quenching lemonade. Shen Qianfan took a sip from the cup, and the smile on his lips gradually widened: "Secretary Xuan, has anyone ever praised you for your humor?"
The teasing was so obvious that Xuan Qing was at a loss for words. He muttered, "How could it not be heavy to have a villa hanging around my neck?"
"What did you say?"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Shu forced a polite fake smile and changed the subject: "I said no, you are the first one."
Shen Qianfan put down the lemonade, with the undispersed gentleness in his eyes: “Turn around and let me see.”
Xuan Qing turned into a ruthless machine and turned around, raising her chin to show off, but Shen Qianfan was not looking at the jewelry but at her eyes.
At such close distance, Xuan Qing saw his own reserved reflection reflected in the other person's focused eyes, and he didn't know what had clicked with him: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Shen Qianfan said without hesitation.
Xuan Qing's heart skipped a beat after failing to tease him. He managed to remain calm and felt guilty: "Do we still need to try?"
"Try a few more." Shen Qianfan withdrew his gaze and never even glanced at the beautiful dead thing from beginning to end.
Seeing that the sponsor had spoken, the staff worked even harder to provide service.
The episode ended temporarily. Xuan Qing unexpectedly felt that Shen Qianfan was particularly easy to get along with today, so he hesitated: "Boss Shen, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it or not."
"You already know the answer when you say this." Shen Qianfan replied dimly.
"Sister Mandy..."
"She what?"
"She is innocent."
"Then who is not innocent?" Shen Qianfan glanced at her meaningfully, the strong emotions in his eyes surging along with his questioning tone, "Secretary Xuan, do you know?"
Xuan Qing couldn't bear the pressure of such a stare. He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly turned his head away to deny, "I don't know."
Seeing this, Chen Qianfan mercifully decided not to press the issue and turned around to discuss the yellow diamond deal with SA. Xuan Qing was in a state of confusion and secretly clenched her fists, regretting her carelessness. It was all an illusion that he was easy to get along with and talk to.
It was like a table full of high-end jewelry for ordinary people. Once you wear it, it doesn't belong to you. She stared at the largest vivid yellow diamond in front of her, as if she could see the entire process from development to design and polishing through the fine cutting lines on the surface. Staring for too long would inevitably cause dizziness, making people feel like they were in a dazzling and confused dream. Xuan Qing quickly closed her eyes to calm down, and when she opened her eyes again, the dazzling sun goddess was already worn around the neck of the gift recipient.
Fei Wei couldn't let it go, but at the same time, she felt suspicious: "You've changed. This is the first time you've given me such an expensive birthday gift. Don't act like you won't give me one next year."
Shen Qianfan's shaking of the wine glass suddenly stopped, and his elegant face, which was blank for a second, quickly returned to normal: "Instead of worrying about whether I will give you a gift next year, you might as well think about what gift to give me in return."
"Then how about I pledge my love to you?" Fei Wei dragged her skirt as if to throw herself into his arms.
Shen Qianfan took her helpless look and raised his hands in surrender: “Stop making trouble, let me introduce you, my secretary, Xuan Qing.”
Fei Wei didn't really want to hug Chen Qianfan, so she decided to quit while she was ahead. Instead, she extended her hand warmly to Xuan Qing who was beside him: "Hello, my name is Fei Wei."
"The secretary is very beautiful." The latter part was obviously said to Shen Qianfan.
Xuan Qing immediately returned the handshake, a gesture of reciprocal business compliments: "Thank you. Mr. Fei is also very intellectual and elegant, and a perfect match for Mr. Shen."
"Oh my gosh!" Fei Wei covered her mouth and was about to cry. "Don't bother me. How can he, an unromantic, stuffy freak, be worthy of me?"
Xuan Qing's mouth twitched: "..."
Fei Wei was still trying to sabotage him: "I'm thirty and still haven't been in a relationship. I can't date someone who's been single all her life."
"!!!" The amount of information was too much for Xuan Qing to digest for a while. "Sorry, I thought you..."
Fei Wei patted Shen Qianfan's shoulder, who was looking gloomy. "He and I are childhood friends."
On the third clap, Shen Qianfan turned away and refused to be touched. He held the champagne glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Angry." Fei Wei raised her arm in the air, her arm about to fall. Feeling that he was spoiling the fun, she retracted her arm and pulled Xuan Qing, muttering, "It's really hard for you to work with him. By the way, if you need to plan a wedding in the future, mention your boss's name and I can give you a 12% discount."
Xuan Qing responded with a few polite remarks, neither flattering nor too cold.
There was a faint sound of a cell phone vibrating, and Fei Wei's ears were sharp: "Secretary Xuan, is your phone ringing?"
Xuan Qing didn't want to pay attention to it, but after being reminded by Fei Wei, he had to take it out to check. What caught his eye was a string of numbers with no remarks.
She looked at Shen Qianfan embarrassedly: “Mr. Shen, home phone number.”
Shen Qianfan was half a head taller than them, so he naturally glanced at the screen interface and nodded without hesitation to follow her.
As soon as Xuan Qing left, Shen Qianfan finally agreed to talk to the birthday girl and replaced the champagne in her hand with juice: "Where is Qian Shu?"
"Look, over there." Fei Wei pointed diagonally across the street.
Following his line of sight, Shen Qianfan indeed saw that his younger brother looked worthless than waste paper.
He followed a girl closely, and her every smile, gesture, and word were all deeply imprinted in his eyes. He wished he could reveal her true feelings.
"Is that the girl he likes?" Shen Qianfan asked.
Fei Wei looked at Luo Shu with satisfaction, like an artist appreciating the work of his muse. She said "hmm", put the rim of the cup to her lips, and made a gesture as if she was about to drink or not.
Not far away, Luo Shu, with her hair down to her waist, was concentrating on chatting with her female colleagues in the design department. She was wearing a long dress with a fishtail design and a halter neck that perfectly revealed her perfect shoulder and neck lines. Under the crystal chandelier, the dress sparkled with diamonds, but it was far less eye-catching than her smile.
How amazing it is, I believe the long-term watching of the men present is enough to prove it.
The two of them looked back at each other and stared at each other for a moment. Shen Qianfan commented: "He seems to have a good personality. Qianshu has good vision, but I don't know if he has this blessing."
Fei Wei started to defend herself: "Just a good personality?"
Shen Qianfan touched her cup and made a crisp sound: “One more thing, she is as hard to pursue as her boss.”
Fei Wei smiled without saying anything, then frowned after a moment: "Speaking of which, Qian Shu's current conditions mean there's no room for development here, and you're just letting him do whatever he wants."
Hearing this, Shen Qianfan thought about it seriously before answering, "Just consider it as making up for his regrets from that year."
Xuan Qing looked around all the way and found a deserted corner before he dared to take out his mobile phone. Immediately, the sound of a phone call was heard in the empty corner.
After two quick rings, the phone connected. Xuan Qing started to complain indiscriminately, "Didn't I tell you I had to accompany him to a banquet tonight and didn't have time to reply to your message? Why did you keep calling me to pressure me? What good would it do you if I exposed myself?"
After about ten seconds, I don't know what kind of impossible request the other party made, but the delicate eye makeup Xuan Qing had applied tonight was now filled with resentment.
"Zou Jing, I won't do anything illegal."
On the other end of the phone, Zou Jing smiled emotionlessly: "You're already doing it."
Xuan Qing's gentle features were slightly distorted by her forbearance. She suppressed the anger in her heart: "Your family has done me a favor and funded my schooling. In return, I joined the Zou family as a volunteer to help out as soon as I graduated. Now that the Zou family is bankrupt, I only joined Jiangrun because of my uncle's face. Besides, Chen Qianfan already suspected me, and today he used words to test me."
Zou Jing didn't care about her situation: "Chen Qianshu made me lose face and become a laughing stock, and it was definitely because of his support behind the scenes. Since you are also being targeted, it's just right, do this last thing for me."
Then, the busy tone faded away in the wind...
