Chapter 67 You're my woman, I have to spend money on you.
"Who is Shu Xi?" Song Xu wasn't very familiar with the name.
Zhang Qing glanced at Lin Xi standing next to him, "That's the girl you just called an 'idiot'."
"How could our company hire such an stupid person?" Song Xu couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
“President Song, actually Shu Xi is Director Shu’s daughter,” Zhang Qing reported in a low voice. “They said they’d let her come to the grassroots level to get some experience first, and then arrange a middle-level position for her after a while.”
This was originally a secret. Zhang Qing had a classmate who worked for Director Shu and specifically asked him to take care of Shu Xidian.
He had long disliked Shu Xi. She wasn't very capable, but she had a big ego. She would argue with him no matter what he asked her to do, and being late or leaving early was a common occurrence for her.
She would sneak away as long as President Song wasn't around.
"Director Shu's daughter?" Song Xu's eyes darkened. "Does he think this company is his own? That he can let his daughter go wherever he wants?"
This company is owned by his family!
Zhang Qing lowered his head and remained silent, unsure of how to respond.
Lin Xi broke the silence, "Brother Xu, how about I go outside for a while, and you guys discuss it first?"
It's not appropriate for her, an outsider, to hear these things.
Song Xu shifted his gaze to Lin Xi and softened his tone, "Xi Xi, rest on the sofa for a while. I'll keep you company when I'm done with my work."
Despite her physical discomfort, Lin Xi forced a smile and said, "Okay."
Zhang Qing's pupils dilated in shock. My God, is this really the same CEO Song he knows? Why isn't he cool anymore? Why isn't he arrogant anymore?
Lin Xi sat down on the sofa to one side, rubbing her forehead in silence, processing Song Xu's change in attitude towards her, constantly reminding herself that it was all fake, just acting, and she shouldn't take it seriously.
Song Xu had no idea what the two of them were thinking. He shifted his attention to the project plan and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Zhang Qing," Song Xu thought for a moment, then signed the project plan and handed it to Zhang Qing, "report it like this."
"Huh?" Zhang Qing looked surprised. "President Song, are you saying this mistake won't be corrected?"
Song Xu nodded. "Keep a close eye on this project. I want to see whose pocket this money ends up in."
Zhang Qing understood; this was a long-term strategy. He took the project proposal and left.
Song Xu tapped the table. "Come sit down and continue reading."
Finally back to normal, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down opposite Song Xu.
The office quieted down again. Lin Xi continued studying, and Song Xu continued reading his documents.
Time flies. Zhang Qing knocked on the door. "President Song, are you working overtime today?"
Song Xu glanced at the time; it was time to get off work. For three or four hours, Lin Xi had sat opposite him without saying a word or moving an inch.
"No, you can leave now."
Zhang Qing received a satisfactory answer and left happily.
"Let's go too." Song Xu began tidying up the table.
Lin Xi arranged the files by category and waited quietly for Song Xu.
Song Xu turned off the computer, picked up his car keys, walked around the desk, grabbed Lin Xi's hand, and immediately went into the office.
There were still employees outside who stared wide-eyed when they saw General Manager Song leading a girl out of the office.
Oh my god, their CEO Song has a girlfriend!
Shu Xi looked at Lin Xi with resentment in her eyes. Why? Why could she become President Song's girlfriend?
Song Xu held Lin Xi's hand all the way from the seventeenth floor to the lobby on the first floor. The girl at the front desk recognized Lin Xi. She covered her mouth, thinking, "Oh no, isn't this the girl from noon?"
It turns out she was delivering food to CEO Song!
That secretary who answered the phone is really a troublemaker! Oh no, I hope she won't be fired tomorrow.
Lin Xi had a good impression of the girl at the front desk; she spoke to her in a friendly and gentle manner, and Lin Xi even smiled and nodded at the girl as she passed by the front desk.
The girl at the front desk breathed a sigh of relief. She quietly waved to Lin Xi, as if she could keep her job.
After getting into the car, Song Xu drove with a sullen face, while Lin Xi didn't say a word, making the car unusually quiet.
Lin Xi looked out the car window as the apartment door flashed by. She couldn't help but remind him, "President Song, you've gone too far."
Song Xu acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued driving forward, faster and faster.
Lin Xi glanced at Song Xu and saw his deep expression. She was a little scared. Who had offended him? Why did he change his expression so suddenly? This fickle man.
She swallowed hard and changed her form of address, "Brother Xu, where are we going?"
"Shopping mall." Song Xu slowed down the car.
Lin Xi sighed softly; it turned out she had just called her by the wrong name.
Song Xu parked the car in the mall's underground parking lot, and the two took the elevator to the fifth floor of the mall, which was full of women's brand clothing stores.
Song Xu held Lin Xi's hand tightly and never let go, leading Lin Xi and her family to visit each store.
Lin Xi was tired from walking. "Brother Xu, are you buying clothes for someone?"
He'd been to seven or eight stores, but not a single piece caught his eye. Who was he buying clothes for anyway?
"I'll buy it for you," Song Xu replied. "Isn't there anything you like?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi was completely confused. "Why are you buying me clothes? I don't need them."
She wasn't interested in these clothes because she couldn't afford them; things that didn't belong to her didn't need her attention.
“I need it,” Song Xu sneered, “Your attire will affect me.”
Lin Xi looked down at her clothes. They were clean, just old, not torn. Was Song Xu also so superficial, judging people by their appearance?
Her mood instantly plummeted, but she didn't say anything.
“You’re my woman now,” Song Xu bent down to look at Lin Xi’s expression. “I have to spend money on you, otherwise people will think I’m a miser.”
After hearing Song Xu's explanation, Lin Xi looked up and asked, "Is that the reason?"
“Otherwise,” Song Xu rolled her eyes at her, “Let’s go buy a few outfits first, and then go downstairs to buy some jewelry. It doesn’t look good for your neck and wrists to be bare. These are all work clothes and work necessities.”
Lin Xi thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. Standing next to Song Xu dressed too shabbily would look too fake and not convincing.
"Oh well."
Lin Xi remembered a shop she had just entered; the clothes there suited her quite well. Pointing to the shop, she said, "Let's go buy from that shop."
Song Xu nodded and pulled her back to the women's clothing store. He glanced at the price tags of two or three thousand yuan, which was too cheap.
Lin Xi also looked at the price tag and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu, it's too expensive. How about I buy it online?"
Song Xu felt helpless. Why couldn't Lin Xi spend men's money like other girls?
He wanted to spend money on her but couldn't find any to spend; he was having such a hard time.
“How about I take you to buy some Chanel?” He remembered that his mother often bought ready-to-wear clothes from that brand.
"Then let's buy it here." Lin Xi knew Chanel; the price of one piece of clothing here could buy ten or more. She probably wouldn't touch such expensive clothes after wearing them.
Song Xu glanced around the shop and said to the shop assistant, "Pack up all the new styles for this year."
Song Xu pushed Lin Xi forward, "According to her size."
