Chapter 629 Protecting Her
Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Shi Chenyuan nervously, only to see him pick up his cup of coffee, blow on it, and say, "She's actually right. There are things you need to be careful about when hand-brewing two cups at once. If you don't have experience, it's easy to fail the first time."
Cheng Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him explain for her.
At least in front of outsiders, Shi Chenyuan had no intention of teaching her a lesson.
Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to slip away again, but saw Shi Chenyuan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, his brows furrowed even tighter.
She asked nervously, "Mr. Shi, is it not tasty?"
"Try it yourself."
Shi Chenyuan pushed the coffee cup in front of her.
Cheng Xiaoyu quickly picked up the cup, took a sip, and grinned.
It's so sour and hard to drink. The aroma of the coffee is not there, but the sourness is fully brought out. In general, it's sour and bland.
Cheng Xiaoyu felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. "I'll make you another cup."
"No, go get a sugar cube."
"Oh." Cheng Xiaoyu quickly went to get the sugar cubes, added them to President Shi's drink, which he usually didn't add sugar to, and stirred it carefully with a small coffee spoon.
Cheng Xiaoyu caught a glimpse of He Xinyue smiling, and felt even more depressed and embarrassed.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, go and get busy."
"Okay, Mr. Shi." Cheng Xiaoyu felt like a bullied wife and walked out of the office pitifully.
When she turned around to close the door, she saw Shi Chenyuan taking a sip of the modified coffee.
Suddenly I realized that they were sharing a coffee cup.
It turns out that Shi Chenyuan is so open with her.
Or was it that Shi Chenyuan's criticism just now was not to scold her, but to let He Xinyue see that she and Shi Chenyuan had a relationship that allowed them to share a coffee cup?
Is Shi Chenyuan protecting her in this way?
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaoyu's heart beat even faster.
She quickly patted her chest and silently warned herself: "Why are you fussing around? She's having a great time chatting with Miss He! What's your business?"
In the president's office.
Only Shi Chenyuan and He Xinyue were left.
He Xinyue glanced at Shi Chenyuan's coffee cup and asked, "I remember you have mysophobia, right?"
"It depends on who you're talking to." He took another sip of coffee.
After adding sugar cubes, the coffee has a hint of sweetness, but unfortunately, it still can't cover up the sourness.
He could naturally see through Cheng Xiaoyu's unfriendly intentions towards He Xinyue.
So is this sour cup of coffee the result of her jealousy?
He Xinyue smiled and said, "It seems that you really have a special feeling towards this assistant."
Shi Chenyuan didn't comment, just smiled faintly.
He Xinyue gritted her teeth secretly and finally lost her patience.
She said to Shi Chenyuan, "If you can agree to my terms, this project will belong to the Times Group. It can be officially launched at the end of this month at the earliest. All I need now is a word from you."
"I need to ask Cheng Xiaoyu about what you said and verify it with her. Also, I don't want our cooperation to be based on such a ridiculous premise."
He pushed the contract in front of He Xinyue and said, "Thank you for thinking of me, and thank you for your father's recognition of Times Group, but let's forget about this project."
He Xinyue’s request was that as long as Cheng Xiaoyu was fired, she could sign the contract.
Regardless of whether Cheng Xiaoyu really poured wine on her or not, and regardless of the reason, Shi Chenyuan did not like this practice of blurring the lines between public and private.
There will be other hidden dangers in the future if we establish cooperation with such a company.
"Chen Yuan, think carefully, your group needs..."
Shi Chenyuan smiled and said, "I gave this answer after careful consideration."
"But if Cheng Xiaoyu stays with you, it will only bring you trouble. Even if it's not for the sake of cooperating with our company, you should fire her as soon as possible."
"That's all for you to worry about."
