Chapter 116: Mr. Jiang is asserting his sovereignty
The murmurs of discussion in the office disappeared, and everyone fell silent instantly, looking at Xu Xian in disbelief, as if they had heard words that shook the world and moved the ghosts to tears.
After a long while, someone trembled and asked, "Who?"
Xu Xian looked around and saw that they all looked unconvinced. She said in a firmer tone, "These are flowers and lipsticks my husband gave me."
The confidence Zeng Kai had worked so hard to build up in his heart collapsed completely, and he could even hear the sound of his heart breaking.
"You have a husband? You're married? When did it happen?" Tu Xue, who had just come to her senses, reacted the most, her voice rising a notch. "How come we didn't know?"
The people around her subconsciously took a step away, away from her loud voice.
Not only was she shocked, but everyone else had a look of "Who am I? Where am I?" on their faces, and they were completely petrified on the spot.
When Xu Xianyi first entered the secretariat, they, believing that they were all sisters, asked her about her love history in detail.
Aren’t you single?
How come I suddenly have a husband and got married quietly?
Will there suddenly be another child next time?
Huo Wen, who often read novels and had a rich imagination, turned his gaze to Xu Xian's flat belly in horror.
Tu Xue grabbed her arm, her voice still filled with fear, "Xianxian, don't you love me anymore? You didn't even tell me you were getting married?"
"You didn't ask!" Xu Xian spread his hands innocently.
Except for her first visit to the secretary's office, they did not ask about her love history again.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was the most indifferent. She smiled and said, "Who on earth is your husband? Is he worthy of your hiding like this?"
"Just an ordinary person, an ordinary person!" Xu Xian felt a little guilty.
Seeing that she couldn't make up her mind, Hu Yuanshan, who hadn't appeared yet, walked in on her high heels and frowned, "What are you all doing blocking the door? Do you know it's time to go to work?"
Her deterrent power was quite high, and all the colleagues who were not originally in the secretary's office and had completed their work left. At the same time, the news that Secretary Xu on the top floor was getting married was also brought downstairs.
The news of her marriage gave the staff within the group a great shock.
As for why everyone pays attention to Xu Xian, there are two main reasons. First, she is beautiful and slightly aggressive, which makes her easy to remember.
Another point is that she became famous when she openly slapped Lin Pingwan twice in the office, and almost everyone in the group knew her.
Even if you have never seen the real person, you know his name.
Unlike the gossip and ridicule of his colleagues in the company, Zeng Kai left the secretariat in a daze, like a walking corpse.
Although every corner of the office building was heated, he felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the biting cold penetrated into his bones unscrupulously.
The beautiful love he longed for ended in failure before it even began.
No matter how much he likes Xu Xian, it is impossible for him to go against the moral bottom line and destroy other people's marriages and families.
Fortunately, I didn’t express my feelings openly and there was no opportunity to confess my feelings, otherwise it would be so awkward to meet at work in the future.
In the secretary's office, Hu Yuanshan noticed the flowers in Xu Xian's arms and the conspicuous gift box on the table.
Her heart tightened, and an ominous guess emerged in her mind. Maybe it was a short-sighted man in the company who sent flowers and gifts, otherwise President Jiang might be angry.
Seeing Xu Xian sitting back at his workstation, she walked over to Tu Xue's workstation and asked in a low voice, "Who sent Xiao Xu flowers and a gift box?"
"Xianxian's husband." Tu Xue smiled mysteriously, her mouth almost reaching her ears.
The usually serious Hu Yuanshan's eyes lit up slightly, and she repeated two words, "Husband?"
It was made public? Why didn't she get the news?
Hu Yuanshan, who was able to hold the position of Secretary-General, was extremely perceptive and immediately found the loophole in Tu Xue's words.
It is very likely that she just announced that she has a husband, rather than announcing that her husband is Mr. Jiang.
Otherwise, according to the personalities of these secretaries, they would have started chattering with her a long time ago, instead of having ambiguous expressions like now.
Xu Xian was messaging Jiang Shibai and didn't notice Hu Yuanshan's unusual behavior.
Guaibao: [Why did you suddenly send me flowers and lipstick at the office? I was not prepared at all.]
Boss: [Can't you see? Mr. Jiang is asserting his sovereignty.]
When Xu Xian saw the message, he was a little surprised that he did not hide his obvious intentions at all.
She could probably guess the reason for Jiang Shibai's sudden behavior, especially after she became a little suspicious of Zeng Kai's intention of inviting her to dinner.
He simply wanted to use the excuse of sending flowers and lipstick to keep away some men in the company who had designs on her.
Whether he was a pursuer, a boyfriend, or a legal husband was up to her.
He pressed on step by step, but left her a little room for maneuver.
The word "wily and shrewd" is the most appropriate to describe him, and there is nothing wrong with him.
But today's incident also sounded a wake-up call for Xu Xian. Even if he didn't disclose the other party's identity, he still needed to be married, otherwise it would only add unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, she announced in person the fact that she was married and had a husband.
In the office, Jiang Shibai's back was slightly tense, his eyes fixed on the screen of his mobile phone. He pondered for a moment about the wording to be deleted and reduced, and finally typed out a few words.
Boss: [I want to know what title Secretary Xu gives her husband in the company?]
In fact, his computer was connected to the surveillance outside, but he was afraid that he would not get the answer he wanted. He did not like the thrill of riding a roller coaster up and down, so he simply turned a blind eye and waited for news after the situation outside calmed down.
Xu Xian couldn't imagine that Jiang Shibai would ask such a question. He clearly lacked confidence.
The person in charge of the Jiang Group is young and promising. He handles things with ease and confidence, and it is only because of her that he could fall into trouble.
Guaibao: [What identity does Mr. Jiang think is most suitable? Or to put it another way, what does Mr. Jiang think I would choose?]
Jiang Shibai looked at the message and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. His nervous eyes were dotted with smiles.
She may not even realize that the more she talks, the more she reveals.
Boss: [I naturally like legal couples, and I think you do too.]
【We are a perfect match, and naturally we have the same ideas. 】
Upon seeing this, Xu Xian immediately retracted her original evaluation of him. He was clearly overflowing with self-confidence and did not hide his ambition at all.
To her ambition.
Guaibao: [Congratulations to Mr. Jiang for answering correctly. He got what he wanted.]
[Now that everyone knows that Secretary Xu is already taken, Mr. Jiang can rest assured that no one is interested in your Miss Xu.]
Boss: [I congratulate myself for finally earning the nickname "Mr. Xu" in the company.]
Guaibao: [You sent flowers to ask for status? Then why did you send lipstick? ]
Xu Xian didn't think that this box of lipstick was just a simple gift. Almost everything he gave her had ulterior motives.
Jiang Shibai didn't expect that her sensitivity was getting higher and higher, and it was getting harder and harder to deceive her, but he didn't plan to hide it.
Boss: [Of course I want to taste the different flavors of Guaibao's lips.]
Guaibao: [Aren't you afraid of poisoning yourself by eating too much lipstick? (shame.jpg)]
Boss: [To die beneath the peony flowers, even as a ghost, one can still be romantic.]
