The more Su Niannian thought about it, the more convinced she became. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, shook her head, and cleared her mind of all distractions.
He secretly thought to himself, "How could I not be fond of the Si Group? Everything here belongs to my precious son, Xibao!"
"I'm staying here to work not for Si Lijue, but for my son's business."
She glanced at the numbers on the elevator screen again; they were still rising. She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fu, which floor is the administration department on?"
“The top floor, that’s perfect, I’m going there too, we’re on the same floor.” Fu Yanli said with a smile in his eyes.
The CEO's office on the 88th floor.
Si Lijue casually flipped through the thick contract in his hand, but his eyes kept drifting towards the door, as if an invisible force was drawing him in from outside.
His deep eyes would involuntarily dart out every now and then, as if anxiously awaiting the arrival of someone of utmost importance.
"Lin Fei, what time is it now?" Si Lijue finally couldn't contain his anxiety and asked his assistant Lin Fei, who was standing to the side.
Although his voice was low and steady, it still revealed a hint of urgency.
Lin Fei glanced at his watch and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Mr. Si, it's 8:55."
He pondered to himself, and the answer was already in his mind—the reason why President Si asked about the time and kept glancing towards the door was most likely because he was waiting for Fu Yanli, the current general manager of the Fu Group.
Because their Si Group and Fu Group are about to reach a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a smart hotel guest control system, realizing the integration of the sixth generation of smart hotels.
At this moment, President Si is reviewing the contract that he is about to sign with Fu's Enterprise.
After a brief pause, Lin Fei seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "President Si, our meeting time with President Fu is 9:20 a.m., but I don't think President Fu will arrive at our company that early."
Si Lijue glared coldly at Lin Fei beside him, annoyed by his talkativeness, and scolded him irritably: "Which eye of yours saw that I was waiting for Fu Yanli? He can come or not, it's up to him."
Remember, he's the one eager to cooperate with me now, not the other way around.
Even without his Fu Group, other companies would naturally join.
If we're not waiting for partners, then who are we waiting for?
Who could possibly make President Si so restless and distracted? Someone who could even be so distracted by something as important as reviewing a contract.
Lin Fei was completely bewildered by his domineering CEO, utterly clueless.
However, his professional ethics told him that no matter what the outcome, if he saw his boss angry, he should take the initiative to admit his mistake first.
So, Lin Fei lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, President Si, it was all my fault for being so dense and misunderstanding. Please forgive me!"
Sure enough, upon seeing Lin Fei apologize, Si Lijue decided to let it go and leisurely asked, "Has Madam not arrived yet?"
Lin Fei suddenly realized that his domineering boss was worried about his wife!
He reported truthfully: "Reporting to Mr. Si, the driver from the old house called ten minutes ago to say that his wife got out of the car early to avoid suspicion, and that she is about one kilometer away from our company. Based on the time, she should be arriving at our company building soon."
"Go down and fetch her," Si Lijue commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Lin Fei turned around and took two steps when he heard Si Lijue's voice again: "Forget it, I'll go pick her up! Otherwise she'll throw a tantrum at me when she gets home."
...
Lin Fei turned around and looked at the person who stood up from the desk in surprise, wondering to himself.
Why does that tone sound so doting and ambiguous?
Has his domineering CEO changed his personality?
Who was it that just now solemnly declared that there would be absolutely no favoritism, no backdoors, no differential treatment, and that wives would be treated as fair as ordinary employees?
It's only been a few minutes, and you can't wait to go downstairs to greet me personally?
Which ordinary employee would require the CEO to personally greet them during a job interview?
Seeing Si Lijue striding towards the elevator with his long legs, Lin Fei didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.
Just as the two reached the elevator entrance and were about to press the open button, they saw the elevator door next door open, and Fu Yanli and Su Niannian walked out of the elevator together.
The four people faced each other, each with a different expression.
Fu Yanli smiled, "President Si, you've come to greet me personally? I'm quite flattered, hahaha~"
Si Lijue stared intently at Su Niannian with his dark eyes and demanded, "How did you two end up together?"
Fu Yanli, beaming with pride, spoke eloquently: "You mean her? We met downstairs."
She came to your company for an interview, but was stopped at the door by the receptionist.
You know me, I've always liked helping others, so I brought the person up with me while I was at it.
"Mr. Si, I've brought such a beautiful woman to you; you should thank me!"
He acted as if he hadn't seen Si Lijue's completely dark face, and looked on with a smug expression.
Si Lijue had no time to pay attention to Fu Yanli. He flashed past Fu Yanli and walked straight towards Su Niannian without hesitation.
He walked to her side, stretched out his strong arms, and naturally and smoothly encircled her petite body in his embrace.
He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Why didn't you call me? Could it be... that his face is more handsome than mine, so you can't take your eyes off him?"
At the same time, he pinched her waist hard with his large hand as punishment.
"Hiss!" Su Niannian felt a tightness in her waist and gasped in pain, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.
"I...I just didn't want to disturb your work..." Su Niannian replied guiltily.
"If it's really as you say, why don't you call Lin Fei? You could have easily contacted Lin Fei, or are you lying to me?"
Si Lijue tightened his grip slightly, bringing his mouth closer to Su Niannian's ear as he continued to threaten, "You haven't forgotten that lying is punishable, have you?"
Despite the pain in her lower back, Su Niannian's eyes reddened as she said aggrievedly, "I don't have his phone number."
Looking at her pitiful and aggrieved appearance, Si Lijue felt a pang of heartache in his eyes and subconsciously loosened his grip on her waist.
He commanded expressionlessly, "Give me your phone!"
Su Niannian took out her phone from her bag and obediently handed it to the man in front of her.
Si Lijue opened her phone and saved Lin Fei's number in her contacts.
"Remember to call me if you need anything in the future. If you can't reach me by phone, call Lin Fei."
Don't accept help from just anyone, or you might get sold out without even realizing it. His tone was noticeably gentler than before.
As long as you don't sell me, no one in this world will sell me!
Su Niannian was angry and didn't want to talk to him, so she kept her head down and didn't say anything.
