Chapter 140: All Drama Queens
Hearing that it was her husband who ordered the afternoon tea, Tu Xue became even more excited. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up, and her eyes were extremely ambiguous. "Wow! My thoughtful and considerate brother-in-law ordered the afternoon tea! I must savor it."
She is two years older than Xu Xian. They get along best in the company and have a good relationship in private. Xu Xian doesn't feel the slightest bit disturbed by her calling him brother-in-law.
If she knew that the brother-in-law she was talking about was her immediate superior, she might not have been smiling so hard.
Seeing this, Huo Wen teased, "It looks like Xianxian's husband wants to bribe us! Maybe he wants us to help keep an eye on the men around Xianxian, and nip any signs of trouble in the bud."
Last time, Zeng Kai from the project management department was heartbroken under their noses. After knowing that Xianxian was married, he never went to the rooftop to show his affection for no reason again.
"That's not true. He just wanted to thank you for taking care of me every day." Xu Xian admired their thinking and imagination and made up a legitimate reason.
It is not unprecedented for an office colleague's family to invite you for afternoon tea, but it is rare for the family member not to be present.
In the past, when family members invited guests for afternoon tea or dinner, everyone would be present and have fun together.
"By the way, I haven't met your husband yet. We had such a great time together. Why don't you bring him out to meet me next time we have dinner together?" Tu Xue suddenly had an idea as she walked into the elevator.
"I'm particularly curious about who could have won the heart of the beautiful lady Xu and married you, one of the most beautiful women in our company."
I only know that Xu Xian is married, but I know nothing about her other half.
But after all, they are colleagues, and we cannot lose our sense of propriety and pry into other people's privacy.
Xu Xian has a beautiful and bright appearance with a natural coolness. Her delicate facial features are flawless. In addition, she has a slim figure with curves in all the right places, and her clothing taste is also good. She ranks at the top of the company's appearance rankings.
A few months ago, a video of her slapping someone was circulated within the company. In addition to discussing the reason why she hit people for no reason, what people talked about most about her was her fascinating face.
At that time, many male colleagues joked about treating her to a meal, but few actually took action.
The reason is simple. All the men who invited her to dinner with the intention of developing a friendship were rejected by her without exception. No one wanted to be embarrassed and get rejected.
"He's been busy with work lately and is on a business trip. I'll make an appointment with you when he comes back." Xu Xian said indifferently, using tactical delaying.
"Okay, it's settled then." Tu Xue agreed, but she was forgetful and turned around to put the matter behind her.
In the office, someone who was on a business trip sneezed again.
This time he was absolutely sure that someone was talking about him, after all, he had already received the news that the milk tea and desserts had been delivered.
He deliberately didn't reply to her message, and she might have been cursing him in her heart.
After the three of them brought the milk tea and desserts to the secretary's office, people who went to work in other departments also came back one after another. When they received the milk tea and desserts, they kept blessing and teasing each other.
"Xianxian's husband is such a timely help. I just wanted to order a cup of milk tea, and it was automatically delivered to my door."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"How can you say it was delivered to your door automatically? It was clearly the three of us who worked so hard to bring it up here."
"Okay, okay, thank you for running errands, beauties."
"Am I the only one who cares about this hard-to-find dessert? From Rose Pavilion!"
“Last time I wanted to buy one, I was told I had to make a reservation three days in advance.”
"Don't forget that Xianxian's husband has money."
"Oh my God! I also want to have this ability."
Xu Xian did not personally admit his ability to make money, but that did not prevent others from discovering it from some clues.
Thanks to his previous job, Xu Xian has developed a thick skin. He can respond with a smile and talk freely without blushing or getting nervous.
After distributing the food to every workstation, she was shocked to find four extra cups of milk tea and three desserts on the table that no one had claimed.
At a glance, she knew that the cup of sugar-free milk tea was exclusively for her, and her name was specially put on it. As for the other three, they belonged to people in the president's office.
Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed subconsciously upon seeing this, and said in confusion, "Rose Pavilion forgot to send one dessert."
After saying that, she took another closer look at the milk tea, only to discover an inconspicuous note stuck on it, with Xu Xian's name prominently listed.
"Wow! It looks like your husband is well-intentioned! Knowing that you've been giving up sugar recently, he was so thoughtful as to even send you milk tea."
Her recent sugar-free streak was no secret in the office.
Xu Xian was about to respond when Wang Bai, who had gone to the president's office to report on his work, arrived late.
He was casually passing by the secretary's office with a document in his hand. When he heard Xu Xian calling him, he stopped and turned to walk towards her. His acting skills were exactly the same as his boss's.
"Secretary Xu, is there anything I can do? I'm still on a field trip." Wang Bai said in a serious tone, looking at his watch, grasping the haste of a white-collar worker.
Xu Xian knew without a second thought that the afternoon tea in front of him must be the takeaway that Jiang Shibai had asked Wang Bai to order. Seeing that he pretended not to know, he resisted the urge to hold his forehead.
They are all drama queens.
She smiled and handed him the milk tea and dessert. "My husband ordered this afternoon tea for everyone. Assistant Wang is taking it with him on the way."
"Thank you, sir, for me." Wang Bai happily took the milk tea and dessert, trying hard not to laugh.
The two knew that it was difficult to act face to face.
There were still two hot potatoes on the table that hadn't been dealt with. Xu Xian didn't want to see Jiang Shibai right now, so he said with a forced smile, "I have something to do and can't leave. Could you please help Assistant Wang bring those two on the table to President Jiang?"
The president's office was just around the corner, yet she lied with her eyes open.
Wang Bai is a smart man and he can guess Dongxi's intentions to some extent. How could he possibly run errands for Xu Xian, even if she is Mr. Jiang's wife.
If he really wanted to send this gift on behalf of Mrs. Jiang, he would probably be on a business trip in Africa instead of in Hai City tomorrow.
"This is your husband's intention. How can I convey it on his behalf? It would be better if you deliver it in person. Mr. Jiang is not a cannibal." Wang Bai explained jokingly to excuse her unusual behavior.
Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was standing behind Xu Xian, dispelled her doubts after hearing this.
She was originally wondering why Xu Xian asked Assistant Wang, who was in a hurry to do field work, to deliver milk tea and desserts, but after a long time he felt embarrassed to deliver them to President Jiang!
After all, he is the leader. Although their secretaries seem to work very harmoniously with General Jiang on weekdays, they are actually a little afraid of him in their hearts.
Before they could argue out the reasons, Jiang Zong, as they were calling him, mentioned Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appeared.
Jiang Shibai was wearing a black coat and walking towards them with one hand in his pocket. He had a cold temperament, and his natural elegance and dignity were silently released.
His long legs allowed him to take big steps, and after just a few steps it felt like he was walking on a flight of stairs.
In just a few seconds, he stopped in front of them and said in a calm tone, "Aren't you going out on a mission? Why aren't you leaving?"
This sentence was obviously directed at Wang Bai.
Wang Bai shook the milk tea in his hand and said with a smile: "Secretary Xu's husband bought afternoon tea for everyone. I'll take one and leave right away."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator carrying milk tea and dessert.
"Oh, really? Then I wonder if Secretary Xu's husband has prepared my portion?" Jiang Shibai's dark eyes fell on Xu Xian, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone was tinged with a hint of smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. Those who were originally working with their heads down in the office all looked towards the door, their eyes full of shock.
Mr. Jiang, who is known to be aloof and otherworldly, was so approachable for the first time and even joked with his subordinates in public.
