Chapter 198 The Groom Sitting at the Main Table
Xu Xian understood the secretarial staff's thoughts and could naturally sense the subtle gazes through the transparent glass. He then glanced at him and said in a slightly fierce voice, "We'll discuss this at noon. Hurry and get to work. Stop talking nonsense."
After she finished speaking, she left him alone and walked towards her workstation, not having time to show off with him.
Everyone in the secretariat heard their conversation clearly, secretly taking a deep breath, and inexplicably admired Xu Xian.
Even though they knew that they were husband and wife and got along naturally and casually, Secretary Xu didn't seem to have any problem with scolding Mr. Jiang.
But it feels a bit satisfying to see President Jiang get humiliated. What’s going on?
Jiang Shibai, who was left behind, had obviously anticipated her attitude. He looked calm and showed no strange emotions after being bullied.
He cleared his throat expressionlessly, returning to his usual composure, and fixed his indifferent gaze on Huo Wen, who was the most excited person in the office to watch the fun.
"Secretary Huo, please bring in the report submitted by the Finance Department yesterday."
Huo Wen was holding back a smile, but his reaction was noticeably slow. After a pause of two seconds, he said, "Okay...Okay, Mr. Jiang."
After saying that, he frantically searched for yesterday's documents on his desk.
Jiang Shibai took one last look at Xu Xian, a hint of affection flashing across his affectionate eyes, and then he walked into the office with his long legs.
As soon as he left, the high pressure in the secretariat's office was significantly reduced, and everyone, fearing that they would get into trouble, lowered their heads and went back to work.
The office was strangely quiet, no one was chatting, laughing or gossiping as usual.
Ever since Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai's relationship was made public, she could clearly feel that the people in the secretariat's office were not as friendly towards her as before.
After all, no one has said a word to that gossip group that only includes Tu Xue, Zhang Xiaoxiao and her.
She had been mentally prepared for this. As Jiang Shibai's wife, the company's subordinates would inevitably feel a layer of distance between them, and naturally they would not laugh and play with her as carefree as before.
She felt a little regretful, but not particularly sad. She completed the final finishing work diligently and conscientiously, completing the whole process from beginning to end, and putting a perfect end to this precious memory.
All good things must come to an end.
There is always a price to pay for every gain.
The strange atmosphere in the office continued until she finished the work at hand and made the final contact with them.
After she decided to announce her relationship with Jiang Shibai and resign, Hu Yuanshan consciously reduced her workload, so the handover of work was not troublesome.
After she finished coordinating with them one after another, the atmosphere in the office became noticeably more relaxed. Perhaps it was because they realized that she was still the same Xu Xian as before and had not changed, which made them subconsciously relax.
Moreover, Hu Yuanshan's attitude towards her remained the same as before, which was also a small hint to them.
Class is a gap that is difficult to cross, and they are clearly aware that Xu Xian and they are not from the same world.
But people have emotions after all, and the friendly relationship we have had in the past few months is not an illusion.
Besides, President Jiang is President Jiang and Secretary Xu is Secretary Xu; they cannot be confused.
Tu Xue was closest to her and couldn't hold back any longer. She didn't care that she was the rumored Mrs. Jiang and took advantage of the time when she was clearing her personal information on the computer to approach her eagerly.
"Xianxian, that's not right. Jiang Tai...that's not right either. Xu Mi...oh no! None of them are right."
She felt that any name was too hot to use, so she simply covered her mouth speechlessly, staring at Xu Xian with watery eyes, her face full of regret.
Tu Xue's actions did not escape the attention of everyone in the secretariat, and they all looked at them.
Xu Xian was as gentle as ever. He stopped what he was doing and said with a smile, "What? Just because I'm Mrs. Jiang, you won't call me Xianxian anymore? If that's the case, I'll be angry."
As she spoke, she crossed her arms and turned her head away angrily.
Tu Xue smiled upon seeing this. She was very familiar with her every move. This was clearly a joke they had played in the past. She immediately shook her arm affectionately and said, "No, I didn't mean that. You are still so envious."
"That's better. There's no need to be distant. I am me and he is him, understand?" Xu Xian showed his first smile in the secretary's office today.
Her relationship with Tu Xue is much closer than that with other colleagues. It's a friendship that was developed through many meals together.
Originally, she wanted to tell her her identity in advance, but because of her carefree personality, she might talk back, so she didn't tell her in advance.
Tu Xue nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand."
After saying that, she changed the subject, obviously a little unhappy, "Xianxian, are you really going to quit? Although the company doesn't allow internal employees to fall in love and get married, President Jiang won't kick you out, right?"
In her opinion, Xu Xian's immediate resignation after his identity was revealed must have been the work of President Jiang. In order to set an example, he enforced the company's unwritten rules and drove away their Xianxian.
Not only did it cause Xianxian to leave the company miserably, but it also caused her to lose her dining companion.
The resentment on her face was too obvious to be ignored. Xu Xian guessed her thoughts at a glance and explained helplessly, "You know I like design. I've been participating in competitions for the past few months and even started a company with others, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Tomorrow I have to go to work at a design company, which is also in this business district. We can continue to make plans for dinner. If you don't have time on weekdays, you can also have a weekend."
"Huh?" Tu Xue opened her mouth in surprise. Realizing that she was worrying too much, her face flushed red. She agreed in a daze, "Okay, okay!"
She had seen her draw jewelry designs and knew that she was not interested in this, but she didn't remember that Xianxian was not short of money now and didn't seem to need a secretary to do this job.
"Thank you for your concern, but my resignation has nothing to do with him, so don't be angry." Xu Xian didn't dare to put the blame on Jiang Shibai before leaving.
"Of course, as a good sister, I will stand on your side. President Jiang cannot be bullied, otherwise I will beat him to a pulp." Tu Xue raised her chin proudly and spoke without restraint.
"Really?" Xu Xian narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
Tu Xue suddenly cleared her mind: "..."
"Yes, it could be fake, hehe! Sister, I support you morally, but forget about the physical fight. With my small body, Boss Jiang can knock me away with just one slap."
How dare she challenge the parents who provide her with food and clothing? Is she tired of living?
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the elusive Mr. Jiang was not there.
Now she finally understood why President Jiang had often appeared quietly at the door of the secretary's office in the past few months. It turned out that he came to see his wife during working hours.
Xu Xian shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. He felt that considering Tu Xue's personality of sometimes speaking without thinking, it was a miracle that she was able to apply for the position of Jiang Shibai's secretary.
She is not particularly sophisticated, but rather seems somewhat cute. However, she also has her own unique strengths, otherwise she would not last long in this position.
The atmosphere of their chatting and laughing obviously infected everyone in the office. They basically joined in the conversation, and the atmosphere was harmonious and comfortable.
Xu Xian took out the invitations he had prepared long ago from his bag and handed them to them one by one.
The invitation card is mainly red in color, with gold outlines, which is luxurious and grand. The words on it are all written by her and Jiang Shibai, outlining their future with every stroke.
She basically didn't care about the details of the wedding, but they liked to do some things themselves. The invitation was a symbol of their sincere invitation, so they naturally put some thought into it.
"You are welcome to attend my wedding with my husband next month." She solemnly extended the invitation.
Seeing this, Huo Wen blurted out, "No wonder you said Mr. Jiang was sitting at the main table. It turns out he was the groom."
