Chapter 76 How to Conquer a Cold Beauty

"This kid has been smart and steady since he was young, how come he has done something foolish at this age? Isn't this reckless? She is such a good girl, your brother is really... Did he apologize properly at the Sheng family last night?"

"I'm sorry. My brother and his wife are kind and decent people. They didn't blame my brother too much."

"I'm sorry for being so kind, but we can't just let this go. Since they're going to be together, let's prepare everything and go to their house in two days to apologize and propose marriage with a generous gift. Tell Jinyan to stop staying there and go back to Guiyun first. Then we can ask our uncles to go and propose marriage together."

Hatsushimo: "Okay, I'll tell him."

The old man sighed a few more times on the other end of the phone, and while scolding Shen Jinyan he also praised the daughter of the Sheng family. When he had almost finished speaking, a baby voice came from the receiver.

"Grandpa, who is it?"

Then I heard the old man's smiling voice saying to the little one, "Your aunt."

"Ah, aunt."

The boy's eyes sparkled, and he raised his hand to take out his phone, "I want to talk to my aunt."

After a while, Hatsushimo heard the young man's voice clearly in the receiver.

"Aunt, aunt——"

"Hey, baby."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, I ate some sticky steamed glutinous rice balls. What did Yuanyuan baby eat?"

"I ate some jelly!" The little guy's grandmother's voice sounded a little excited, "I hid a lot of jelly in the cupboard, all of them belong to my aunt."

"When will you come home from school, aunt?"

The children had always thought that Chu Shuang went out to go to school, and now they thought that their aunt was studying in school.

Listening to his healing little baby voice, Chu Shuang became extremely gentle, with a smile in her eyes that seemed to almost overflow with tears.

"My aunt went back home for the New Year."

"When is the Chinese New Year?"

"Ten days. I'll be back when you count to ten. Then I'll buy you your favorite toy, okay?"

The child did not readily agree, but said seriously: "I am already a big child, I cannot ask my aunt for money, my mother said you don't have pocket money, so you can't ask my aunt for gifts. When you come back, I will give you a lot of jelly and candy to eat, all of which are bought with my pocket money."

Chu Shuang's heart almost melted, and she wished she could run to the little guy immediately to kiss, hug and lift him up high.

"Okay, baby, then you must stay and wait for my aunt."

The young man felt like he had taken on a mission, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, the car was almost at the company.

Sheng Ting looked at her soft profile and realized that she really liked her little nephew. Ever since she received that call, her aura became cheerful and gentle.

Arriving downstairs of the company building, Hatsushimo thanked him and was about to open the door to get out, but he didn't unlock the car and couldn't open it.

Just as she was about to remind him, a force attached to the back of her neck gently pulled her forward.

A warm and soft kiss fell on her lips, and the man looked down at her, "Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

Hatsushimo saw his tall nose and moved her lips: "Bye."

Sheng Ting still looked at her, staring at her for a while before letting go, "I'll pick you up this afternoon."

"good."

——

I heard that Sun Mengzhu went on a business trip to another city for exchange and study these two days, and he is nowhere to be found for any big or small matters.

Hatsushimo sent her several messages, all about the replacement of the editor-in-chief. But there was no response from her, and she didn't answer the phone calls.

After a few times, she got used to it and stopped bothering me.

At noon, she knocked directly on the door of her manager's office.

There was no response from inside for a long time. Just when I thought there was no one there and turned to leave, the door was pushed open from the inside.

The person who came out was his secretary. The woman's shirt was a little disheveled, but her expression was as capable and proper as always.

He nodded at her and left with the documents.

A second before entering, Chu Shuang took one more look at her back.

Manager Zheng was a little surprised when he saw the first frost.

"What's up?"

After briefly explaining his purpose, Hatsushimo expressed his hope to get some help from him.

"The editor-in-chief is unreachable every other day, and doesn't respond to messages. I will not let him be the main writer of the comic."

Zheng Langhua leaned back in his office chair and was quite polite to Chu Shuang. "Okay, I'll make the contact for you later."

After hearing this, Chushuang did not leave.

"Not only do you have to help me make the contact, you have to tell her about the new comic. I have been in charge of it for so long. It is impossible for someone to let go without any fault."

She usually looks calm and composed, as if she is just here to go to work. She does not show any unfamiliarity in interpersonal relationships, just like a free-spirited wild crane.

Zheng Langhua was a little curious about her current persistence and seriousness, but just a little.

"Do you know the significance of dividing a company into departments? It clarifies responsibilities and improves efficiency. If everyone comes to the general manager's office to find me when they have problems at work, then I will just stay up all day to help you solve internal conflicts. For matters within the department, or small matters like division of labor, we just do whatever the editor-in-chief arranges. Do we have to go to the manager's office to do this?"

Chu Shuang looked at him straight in the face. "Her arrangement is totally unreasonable. I would like to resolve it privately. But I can't contact her, and she doesn't want to communicate or coordinate. You brought her here, so shouldn't you be responsible? You can go to the Ancient Style Group 2 and ask what Sun Mengzhu's work ability and professional level are like. Does she look like an editor-in-chief?"

Zheng Langhua was stunned by her slow yet firm tone. When he wanted to say a few more words to her, she had already nodded and left.

"If I really couldn't contact anyone, I wouldn't come to you. Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

He left without staying a second longer.

Glancing at the woman's slim back, Zheng Langhua called Sun Mengzhu.

"Why did you make such a mess of things and remove Hatsushimo's qualification as the chief writer?"

"I am the editor-in-chief, so of course I have the right to do so. I have my own considerations, and other people's drawings may not be worse than hers."

Cheng Langhua: "What's the point of doing this when the previous arrangements were reasonable and she didn't do anything wrong? Do you know who she is?"

Sun Mengzhu disagreed, "No matter who she is, she is now a subordinate in my department."

"She has a strong background in the upper echelons of the headquarters. You should take it easy and don't try to find trouble."

——

After get off work, Chu Shuang sat at her workstation waiting for Sheng Ting. During this time, she sent a message to inform Sheng Yao that the Shen family would come to propose marriage in a grand manner in two days.

[Congratulations in advance, you will be able to get the person you like right away. 】

Sheng Yao: [If it really comes to this, I still think it’s better to be single. Getting married without even having a romantic relationship is really a mistake that will cause eternal regret.]

【It’s not too late for you to regret now. 】

[Well, actually if you think about it carefully, Shen Jinyan is pretty, and I will feel good when I go home and look at that face. Forget it, I won’t return it.]

Using the adjective "handsome" to describe a man means he is undoubtedly obsessed with looks.

[I just don't know how to conquer this cold beauty. ]

Looking at the words she sent, Chu Shuang shook her head.

He only talks big in front of her, but when he really meets Shen Jinyan face to face, Sheng Yao is as serious as an old gentleman, not as lively and bold as he appears on the Internet.

Hatsushimo: [No need for strategy, serious people have their own way of dating, my brother will take action. ]

After chatting with Sheng Yao for a while, Sheng Ting sent a message saying that he would be almost downstairs at the company.

After packing up my things, I went downstairs when the first frost came.
