Chapter 49 Manager Shen is the most flirtatious
Su Xi had just arrived home when she received a call from Feng Jinchen. The man's voice was full of apology, "Wife, I'm sorry. That clumsy Wang Dong only just got the evidence now. He's a step too late. Please don't mind, wife."
This wasn't just a step too late; it was a full day too late.
"It's okay, it's good that you have the intention."
"Wife, are your expectations of your husband really that low?"
The man opposite her sighed softly, "Wife, I'm flying to the capital for a few days on a business trip. Please take good care of yourself while I'm gone."
When he comes back, he will give Su Xi a huge surprise.
The woman gave a perfunctory "hmm," changed her clothes, and took a taxi directly to Yipinxiangyuan.
Today was a team dinner, and Manager Shen was treating. She doesn't really like these kinds of occasions, but she can't be the only one to stand out.
"You are my colleagues, with whom I spend more time than with my closest family members. We should be tolerant and understanding of each other. Doing dirty tricks behind people's backs will only harm yourself and others, and the company will not tolerate such people..."
Everyone readily agreed with Shen Congxuan's words. Only Wu Qingluan looked slightly embarrassed and got up to go to the restroom.
I touched up my makeup in the bathroom, and as soon as I stepped out, a greasy, fat old man grabbed me in a hug.
Just as Wu Qingluan was about to curse, she suddenly realized that the person hugging her was Boss Qi, who had brought her so much business. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have become a team leader at such a young age.
Wasn't that lecherous old man supposed to be working elsewhere? How come we run into him here again?
While she hesitated, Boss Qi's fat hands were already impatiently groping her body. Wu Qingluan felt a wave of nausea, but then she turned her eyes and said coquettishly, "What a coincidence, Boss Qi. Our dispatch team is having a meal here, and there are many beautiful women you don't know."
There's a new girl named Su Xi, in particular; Boss Qi will definitely like her. Qingluan thanks the boss for his guidance. I'll be your wingman for a bit, and I guarantee you'll win the beauty's heart tonight, how about it?"
"Really? Even prettier than you?"
Wu Qingluan gritted her teeth, reluctantly admitting that the woman was prettier than her; it made her cringe. "About the same. She just has a nice figure. She looks so innocent, like a virgin. Boss Qi would definitely want to ravage her."
"Alright, alright." Boss Qi's eyes were full of lewdness, and he pinched Wu Qingluan hard again. "I happen to have a project to work on with Manager Shen, so let's go have dinner together."
Boss Qi was a big client, and many beautiful women stood up to toast him, but Su Xi showed no intention of trying to win him over, which made him even more eager to get her.
"This must be Miss Su Xi, she's really lovely." The man's eyes revealed undisguised ulterior motives and desires.
Upon hearing this, many female colleagues glared at Su Xi with hostility. They offered her drinks and flattered her, but Boss Qi didn't even bother to offer a smile. Instead, the quiet Su Xi attracted Boss Qi's attention. She really was cunning.
"Boss Qi, she can't drink alcohol," Shen Congxuan said, trying to smooth things over.
"Yes, I get drunk after just one sip." Su Xi said with a troubled expression.
“Xixi, we’re all drinking cup after cup, but you’re not drinking at all. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? People who don’t know better might think you’re looking down on Boss Qi.” Wu Qingluan pretended to be concerned for Su Xi, but a sly glint appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Yeah, Su Xi, you're being too dramatic. I've never heard of someone getting drunk after just one sip. You lie without even thinking. You're clearly not giving Boss Qi any face."
Boss Qi's lecherous eyes narrowed slowly, and the smile lines on his fat face disappeared. "Miss Su, how about this: if you take a sip of your drink, I'll sign the project and put it in your name, how about that?"
The moment the words left her lips, Wu Qingluan nearly snapped her sequined fingernails off; jealousy twisted her face for a fleeting instant.
However, thinking about what Su Xi would experience later, she felt a little better.
The other female colleagues were practically spitting fire as they looked at Su Xi. If she could sign a contract with just one sip, what did it matter if their stomachs churned from drinking?
Having said all that, as an employee of Guangyao, she has this obligation.
"Mr. Qi, thank you very much." Su Xi picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.
The man chuckled and had his assistant bring the contract, but didn't sign it immediately. His eyes, narrowed by his fat, stared slyly at Su Xi. "Miss Su doesn't seem to be drunk. How about this, drink a big glass, and I'll sign it."
Seeing the mockery in the woman's eyes, Boss Qi was completely unfazed, instead taking pride in it. "In business, you always sign a contract with one hand and present the other with the bargaining chips, otherwise you'll be ripped off. I've taught you such an important lesson, shouldn't you have a few more drinks?"
Women are more fun when they're drunk.
Hearing what Boss Qi said, the female colleagues who had been red-eyed just moments before all showed disdain and looked at Su Xi with mockery.
"It's better not to cooperate with a businessman who doesn't keep his word." Shen Congxuan swirled his wine glass, his eyes filled with coldness.
Seeing Shen Congxuan's unpleasant expression, Boss Qi's heart skipped a beat. This man was not someone he could afford to offend.
The older man chuckled awkwardly, "I was just joking with Miss Su." He quickly signed his name, his face beaming with smiles as he handed the contract to Su Xi, "Miss Su, please take a look."
Su Xi looked up. It was still the same person, but it seemed completely different.
The woman's clear, bright eyes were tinged with a hint of confusion, and her tone seemed somewhat different from usual.
Under everyone's gaze, the woman calmly moved her lips and asked, "Who is this lecherous old man?"
The air froze instantly upon hearing this.
Boss Qi's face stiffened, and the others were also stunned, all scrutinizing Su Xi with suspicion.
The woman's fleeting gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Shen Congxuan. "This handsome guy is the best-looking. Airplanes fly the highest in the sky, and the most stylish person on the ground is the one with glasses. I wonder if you are?"
The entire room fell silent.
Even though he was used to big occasions, the man's deep amber eyes behind his glasses still narrowed slightly. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with his long fingers and forced a slightly embarrassed smile.
The crowd was utterly shocked. Strange things happen every year, but this year seems especially strange. They had never seen anyone get so drunk after just one sip that their personality changed so drastically.
"Hehe, it seems Miss Su is really drunk." Boss Qi stared straight at Su Xi, unconsciously licking his lips. "Xiao Cao, quickly help Miss Su to her room to rest."
As the man spoke, he looked at Shen Congxuan with a questioning and probing gaze.
Wu Qingluan clenched her fists under the table, glancing nervously at Shen Congxuan. If Manager Shen said no, Su Xi would likely escape another disaster. She was unwilling to accept this.
Shen Congxuan seemed oblivious to the awkward situation and said with a gentle smile, "Indeed, you should get some rest."
The female secretary, Xiao Cao, quickly came to help Su Xi. The latter's bright almond-shaped eyes seemed to be searching for someone at the scene. After confirming that the person she was looking for was not there, she obediently followed the secretary away.
As soon as she entered, before Su Xi could even see the layout of the room, she was knocked unconscious by a tattooed man with a single slash.
They tied her hands and hung her from the ceiling.
