Chapter 825 Which finger is missing a ring?
When I entered the room, Si Kouting was standing in front of Xiao Shiqiu's desk. When they heard someone coming in, they both looked at me.
Seeing it was me, Xiao Shiqiu's originally stern expression immediately softened. "Baby, are you done? I still have some things to take care of. Please sit aside for a while."
I smiled sweetly at him: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry. It's still early."
I had already decided in my heart that Si Kouting was not a good person. I looked at her warily and then walked to the sofa beside me.
Si Kou Ting chuckled from behind, "Boss Xiao and Miss Xia have a really good relationship. Every time Mrs. Xiao came to see Boss Xiao, she would follow the company's visitor policy and wait in the lounge next door. She was also very kind to our colleagues in the general assistant office."
Oh, is she still upset? Is she implying that I'm rude and have a bad attitude?
I immediately turned around and saw Xiao Shiqiu with a cold face as he slammed the documents in his hand heavily on the table.
Without waiting for him to speak, I smiled sweetly at Sikou Ting, "Really? I never knew that coming to visit my Aqiu required me to abide by the visitor policy. No wonder Aqiu said that I was different in his heart. I thought he was just kidding me. Turns out it's true."
Xiao Shiqiu was very pleased with my calling him "Ah Qiu". A smile flashed in his eyes. "How could I be kidding you? You can come and go freely in this building except for the men's restroom."
Really serious! I didn't even sit on the sofa anymore. I simply walked over to Xiao Shiqiu, leaned against him intimately, and giggled through my back teeth. "This isn't good, is it? Aren't you afraid that others will have opinions about me, the newly arrived Mrs. Xiao?"
Si Kou Ting's calm expression could no longer be maintained. Her expression froze slightly, and then she smiled reservedly, "Don't get me wrong, Miss Xia. The company usually pays more attention to some workplace etiquette. Even the vice president has to knock on the door of President Xiao's office before entering."
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at her sideways and said, "Manager Sikou, you also said that he is the vice president. Can he be treated the same as my wife?"
I deliberately stretched out my right hand towards him and said coquettishly, "Then prove it to me."
Xiao Shiqiu was stunned. He looked at my right hand, which was deliberately curled up with an orchid finger, and asked uncertainly, "Which finger do you think is missing a ring? Let's go buy it after get off work."
I was so angry that I laughed. Is there really no tacit understanding between us?
"I'm not talking about the ring. All the fingerprint locks here record my fingerprints. That proves that I am different."
Xiao Shiqiu finally understood and said cooperatively, "Okay, we'll record everything in a moment, and don't forget to put the safe aside."
Si Kou Ting couldn't hold back her smile any longer. The document she was holding was crumpled at one corner. She said with a forced smile, "Boss Xiao is really special to Miss Xia. If you didn't tell me, who would have known that you two had only known each other for less than half a year? I'd have thought you grew up together as childhood sweethearts."
Her words were quite hurtful. He Qingrong grew up with Xiao Shiqiu, so her words obviously implied that Xiao Shiqiu had only known me for a short time and was just curious about me.
If I didn't know that Xiao Shiqiu had known me for so many years, I would probably feel guilty. How could a one-night stand make a mature man fall in love with someone so wholeheartedly?
But ever since I knew that I was his 'child bride' who was raised by him, my confidence in him suddenly increased. He had been secretly observing me for so long, he must like me very much, otherwise why would he continue to pay attention to me for so many years.
So what Sikouting said did not hurt me at all.
Xiao Shiqiu smiled calmly and said, "It seems that Manager Sikou values the friendship of childhood sweethearts. I wonder which boy is lucky enough to grow up with you as a childhood sweetheart?"
Si Kou Ting looked a little unnatural. "Boss Xiao is such a joker. You know, I was adopted by my parents when I was in middle school. How could there be a childhood sweetheart?"
Speaking of Si Kouting's childhood sweetheart, Lu Yuanqing's face suddenly flashed through my mind, and I finally remembered the information I missed.
During the engagement party, I saw the interaction between Lu Yuanqing and her. Lu Yuanqing looked at her with doting, and it was obvious that they were more than just acquaintances, but on the surface, they seemed to have never had any intersection.
There were so many people that day that I forgot about it the moment I turned around. If I hadn't met her here today, I probably wouldn't have remembered it until now.
I have to think about telling Lao Xiao about this later.
I simply pulled a chair and sat next to Xiao Shiqiu. "Aqiu, Manager Sikou has been standing here for a long time. What else do you have left to do? Why don't you let her sit down and wait?"
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at Si Kouting, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Sikou Ting glanced at me casually. "Here are all the work reports for the marketing department this month. I also want to ask Mr. Xiao, have you seen the application for joining the European Overseas Business Department that I sent to your email?"
Xiao Shiqiu put down the information in his hand, raised it slowly, and looked at her with a sharp look, "I see. Tell me why you want to go there?"
Si Kouting straightened her back and smiled professionally: "The European market is the strategic focus of our group in the next three years.
I am good at cross-cultural marketing strategies. Last quarter, our marketing department proposed a plan for the German market, which increased customer conversion rate by 37%.
I think I can handle this position.”
Seeing her talking so confidently, I felt it was a pity. If she were not an accomplice of the Lu family, she could actually become a workplace elite.
Xiao Shiqiu looked up at her calmly, "Have you understood the requirements for this position?"
I looked at Xiao Shiqiu with feigned curiosity. "This position requires a pretty high level of English, right? What's the required IELTS score?"
Xiao Shiqiu remained calm and said, "The requirements aren't too high. A score of 7 or above will do..."
"Boss Xiao," Si Kou Ting interrupted hastily, "This isn't in the job requirements issued by HR."
"Oh, maybe the HR people missed it. I'll have Xiao Yang notify them to fill in the requirements." Xiao Shiqiu pressed the hands-free call button on the desktop. "Xiao Yang, the job requirements for the overseas business department position are incomplete. Yun He, please fill in the IELTS score of 7."
Xiao Yang was obviously stunned for a second, then immediately said, "Ah? Oh, okay, Mr. Xiao, I was negligent. I'll ask them to make up for it right away."
Xiao Shiqiu hung up the phone with satisfaction, his expression unremarkable. "By the way, Manager Sikou, please remember to send your IELTS score report to HR. I'll consult with Mr. Yan from the Overseas Business Department and give you a reply as soon as possible."
"Manager Sikou," I suddenly said, "You want to be transferred abroad. Is your boyfriend willing to let you go?"
