Chapter 109: Single Characters Are Too Attractive
In the president's office, Jiang Shibai's long legs were crossed, his smooth black trousers wrapped tightly around his leg muscles, his left index finger casually tapping the armrest of the office chair, and his other hand holding a mobile phone, his cold white knuckles clearly visible.
Seeing the message pop up on the other side of the phone, his thin lips curled up slightly.
He thought for a few seconds, then typed a few words on the screen with his fingertips.
Mr. Jiang would like to invite Mrs. Jiang to lunch. Would Mrs. Jiang accept the invitation?
Xu Xian smiled when he saw this.
Guaibao: [It's legal and compliant, Mrs. Jiang approved.]
The little bickering games the two of them sometimes play are quite entertaining.
After agreeing to have lunch together at noon, Xu Xian put down his phone and started working, trying to finish it before getting off work so as not to leave it until overtime in the evening.
As the workday neared its end, a man in a suit and tie entered the secretariat's office carrying a document. After handing it to Secretary-General Hu Yuanshan, the young man stopped at Xu Xian's workstation.
The man has a handsome face, still childish and a little immature. He has the clearness of a college student who has just entered the society, and does not look like he has been polluted by the big dye vat of society.
After standing still for a moment, Zeng Kai saw that she was concentrating on staring at the computer data and did not notice that there was a living person next to her.
After hesitating for a moment, he bent his fingers and tapped her desk.
The muffled sound of "dong dong" brought Xu Xian back from his work. Before he could come back to his senses, a clear and pleasant voice with a pure Haishi accent rang in his ears.
"Sister Xu Xian, we are going on a field trip together this afternoon. How about we have lunch together? I know a restaurant that serves pretty good Thai food. You can try it." Zeng Kai went straight to the point with a perfect smile on his lips and his eyes full of anticipation.
"After lunch, we can go to the factory together."
He just graduated this year and is a newcomer in the project management department of Jiang Group. He often does some small jobs. Some time ago, he came to the secretariat to coordinate the project of optimizing the supply chain.
As Xu Xian was in charge of tracking the progress of that project, the two often had work intersections.
She was like an older sister, gentle and kind. She was very patient with him, a newcomer who was half-baked. She would explain and analyze the things he didn't understand in detail.
When he first entered the workplace, he felt empty and lonely inside and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for her.
His colleagues had heard that Xu Xian didn't have a boyfriend, so they wanted to find an excuse to have a meal with her to increase their contact and understanding of each other.
Xu Xian raised his head from the dense data, glanced at the man next to him in a daze, and his brain froze for a moment before he realized what he said.
She looked slightly embarrassed. "Excuse me, Xiaokai! I have an appointment at noon. Let's meet directly at the factory!"
"How about this, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon."
As Zeng Kai's senior, the two had a lot of overlap in their work, so it was indeed appropriate for him to treat the younger brother who had just entered the workplace to a meal.
Zeng Kai blushed slightly. It was unreasonable for a girl to treat a boy to a meal.
He quickly waved his hand to refuse, scratching the back of his head helplessly. He spoke with embarrassment, "I should be the one treating you, Sister Xu Xian, to dinner. You've taught me a lot these past two months. If it weren't for your advice, I would have taken so many detours and wouldn't have been able to complete the last project so smoothly."
Afraid that Xu Xian would refuse, he found an excuse, "Sister Xu Xian, please don't refuse me, otherwise I will feel bad."
Xu Xian opened his mouth slightly, swallowed the words he was about to say, and accepted his invitation.
There was nothing wrong with having lunch with colleagues, and she seemed pretentious when she kept refusing.
"Okay, let's have lunch tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll be leaving first. Sister Xu Xian, you continue with your work." Zeng Kai was very careful in his actions, fearing that Xu Xian would discover his little thoughts.
As soon as he walked out of the secretary's office, he saw President Jiang standing not far from the door, staring at him with dark eyes, and an invisible sense of oppression came over him.
The man was wearing a black coat, looking serious and calm, with a solemn expression and a cold look between his brows. He was like a sculpture with no sadness or joy, and his expression was unclear.
The smug smile on Zeng Kai's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a slightly uneasy expression.
He had not had much face-to-face contact with Mr. Jiang and did not know much about his character.
He had just been having a pleasant conversation with Sister Xu Xian, and he seemed to be caught slacking off during work hours by his boss.
Zeng Kai, holding the documents, walked uneasily to Jiang Shibai's side. His voice was weak and lacked momentum. "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shibai looked at him deeply, his bottomless black eyes were filled with an incomprehensible emotion, and he said "hmm" neither lightly nor heavily.
Zeng Kai breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster, as if he heard the sound of nature. He hurried away like a mouse encountering a cat.
When he took the elevator downstairs, Jiang Shibai put one hand in his coat pocket and looked through the glass at Xu Xian who was working with a gloomy look.
He had originally planned to go downstairs early to wait for her in the car, but he didn't expect to see her having a good chat with a young and promising man.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But men understand men best. Jiang Shibai knew his little plan very clearly. Staring at Xu Xian's shy expression, his intentions were too obvious.
He heard every word of their plan to have lunch together tomorrow.
Thinking of the man who left in a hurry, who was young and strong, humorous and witty, and had an innocence and purity rarely seen in the adult world, Jiang Shibai felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.
The social experience that I was once proud of seems to have become a gap divided by age.
Isn’t it said on the Internet that most women in their twenties like young, handsome men who are simple-minded and have good bodies?
He had always kept this sentence in his mind, and now when he thought about it, he was filled with jealousy.
Jiang Shibai calmed his inner panic, narrowed his eyes slightly, twirled his fingers slightly in his coat pocket, and made a calculation in his mind.
It seems that his wife's single persona in the company has attracted too much attention.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shibai had an idea in his mind, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Xian.
[My dear, I'll wait for you in the basement.]
Putting the phone in his pocket, Jiang Shibai stood there for a moment before walking towards the elevator.
The good mood he had originally had about having lunch with her was gone, his pouting lips flattened, and Jiang Shibai was like a walking refrigerator, taking the elevator to the basement with the cold winter air.
He had a cold face throughout the whole process, which made the other employees in the elevator dare not say a word. They lowered their heads and played with their mobile phones like quails, not daring to breathe.
Xu Xian was unaware of the storm outside. After get off work was over, she spent a few minutes finishing her work before carrying her bag downstairs.
As soon as I got into the low-key and luxurious Hongqi car in the basement, I noticed that Jiang Shibai was in a bad mood.
"Who made you angry?" Xu Xian asked in confusion, seeing that he had a sour face.
Jiang Shibai's tall figure crossed the center console, moved the white handbag off her legs, his face calm.
"Want to know?"
