She looked up and asked, "Do you need me to drive?"

"No need." said Chen Xu.

"Okay, boss, please take care." Secretary Jin stood up.

Chen Xu left the office, thinking to himself, it was really comfortable to have such a secretary, except that the salary was too high and he really couldn't afford it at the moment.

He drove Luo Xiyun's Porsche to the Wanhua Company building, parked the car, and walked into the building.

It has been almost half a year since I left the company. The last time I came here was when I met Luo Xiyun.

This time, he was revisiting an old place, and his heart was not at peace.

In less than half a year, he went from being an ordinary salaried worker with a monthly salary of only 10,000 yuan to owning two noodle shops with a monthly income of nearly 100,000 yuan. He also became a couple with Luo Xiyun.

These changes seem to happen naturally.

However, looking back at half a year ago, there were many things he did not dare to think about.

He sighed in his heart as the elevator arrived. He walked in. Everything was the same as it was six months ago, even the elevator button on the staircase where his company was located was the same as before. After pressing it, the light on the number on it was dimmer than that on other floors.

After a while, the elevator door opened.

He walked out of the elevator, said hello to the front desk, and walked towards the electronics sales department.

"Chen Xu?"

As soon as I entered, I was seen by a colleague who had worked there before. He shouted and everyone else looked over.

"Really?" "Why are you here?" "Nonsense, you must be here to pick up Mr. Luo."…………

For a moment, the whole office was noisy, with people greeting him and teasing him.

"Hello, everyone." Chen Xu waved at them. The department's office area had expanded again, and there were more people than before, and there were many unfamiliar faces.

At this time, the office door opened and Luo Xiyun walked out.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, everyone in the department fell silent, and those who were originally standing sat down.

"You're here." Luo Xiyun walked straight to Chen Xu's side, took his hand in front of everyone, and said, "Let's go."

"Goodbye, everyone."

Amidst many complicated gazes, Chen Xu waved his hand and left with Luo Xiyun.

As soon as the two left, the noisy sounds were heard again in the office.

They walked all the way downstairs and got in the car. Chen Xu asked, "What time does the banquet start tonight?"

"It starts at eight o'clock, but we have to go there now. Liu Kun is not here, so I have to keep an eye on the scene to prevent any mistakes."

Chen Xu was surprised, "Where did Liu Kun go at this time?"

"Something happened with his parents, and he has to go over to deal with it."

"Oh, no wonder Liu Yumeng looked unhappy in the morning."

Chen Xu suddenly realized, started the car, and said, "Well, I'll take you there. Which hotel is it?"

Luo Xiyun gave the name of the hotel.

Half an hour later, they arrived.

Secretary Guo was the one who was busy with everything in organizing this banquet. She would only ask Luo Xiyun for advice when she couldn't make a decision, but she didn't actually need to do anything.

Chen Xu stayed by her side the whole time, and the two of them stayed in the room the whole time. Seeing that she was used to it, he had a clearer understanding of the working style of the leaders of large companies.

Then, he thought of the negotiations in the afternoon, which were actually also conducted by Secretary Jin. Whether in terms of negotiation skills or the ability to collect intelligence, he could not even compare to her.

Therefore, leaving professional matters to professionals will be more efficient and produce better results.

If he had been in charge of the negotiations with Jinyun Group in the afternoon, the result would never have been what it was.

So, as a leader, is it enough to just sit there and make decisions? Your subordinates have higher education and stronger abilities than you, so why should they listen to your orders? Under normal circumstances, he couldn't have a subordinate like Secretary Jin now. He just took advantage of Luo Xiyun.

This also made him wonder, what should he do to cultivate a talent like Secretary Kim? Or, to what extent should his career be able to attract people like Secretary Kim to join? A broader prospect, a bigger stage...

As he thought about it, he became lost in thought.

"Chen Xu, the banquet is about to begin."

I don’t know how much time had passed before Luo Xiyun’s words brought his thoughts back.

"Oh, okay, go ahead. Wait a minute--" Chen Xu responded subconsciously, looked up, and suddenly called her.

Luo Xiyun stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" Luo Xiyun looked at the clothes on his body and asked curiously.

"Of course there is a problem." Chen Xu's expression was very serious. "And it's a big problem. It's too revealing. Most of the back is exposed. Isn't this a big enough problem?"

"Ah?" Luo Xiyun was stunned. He didn't expect that the question he asked was actually this. Then he felt a little amused and said, "This is an evening dress. Of course it is designed like this."

Chen Xu said firmly, "I don't care what kind of dress it is. Anyway, it's not okay to wear it like this. Change it."

"It's too late to change now. The banquet is about to begin." Luo Xiyun said, looking at the time.

Chen Xu thought for a moment, then saw the suit on the sofa, picked it up, and draped it over her body, covering her back, and said, "That's it. Don't take it off, do you hear me?"

"I know, you stingy guy." Luo Xiyun said softly, leaning over and kissing him on the face. Then, she saw a lip mark left on his face. Then she remembered that she had just put on lipstick. Without reminding him, she waved her hand and left the room.

Chen Xu did not attend the banquet. Firstly, he did not like such occasions, and secondly, he was not ready yet. It was one thing to be in front of the company's people, and it was another thing to face a higher level of occasion.

So, he stayed in the room alone, holding his mobile phone, and reading the physical e-book he had just downloaded.

Time passed quickly and before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock.

Dongdong...

Just as Chen Xu was lost in thought over a passage in the book, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he asked, but got no response. He stood up and walked over, opened the door, and saw no one outside, only a note left on the ground.

Prank? He picked up the note on the ground, closed the door, turned over the note and read, "Come to room 702 of XX Hotel to find me. I have something to tell you." The signature was Yang Jinxia.

When he saw the name at the end, the blood in his body seemed to freeze and he stood there in a daze.

…………

On the other side, in the banquet hall, Luo Xiyun was chatting with several important business partners. Secretary Guo suddenly came up to her and whispered to her, "I just received an anonymous call. I think I should tell you."

Luo Xiyun remained expressionless and excused himself to the person next to him. He followed Secretary Guo to the corner and asked, "What's the matter?"

Secretary Guo looked a little confused and said, "It's about Chen Xu. He said..."

"What did you say?" Luo Xiyun saw her hesitating and knew it was something bad, so he asked.

"That person said he was still in contact with his ex-girlfriend and was still meeting her secretly."

Luo Xiyun frowned and asked, "Who called?"

Secretary Guo said, "It's a man, he doesn't sound very old, but he didn't say his name, and we don't know his identity."

"I know." Luo Xiyun could guess who did it. His mind raced. He looked back at the hall and said, "You stay here and watch. I'll go back to my room."

"Okay." Secretary Guo responded.

Luo Xiyun left the banquet hall and walked towards the room.

When she returned to the door of the room and was about to knock, she paused, clenched her fists, swallowed, and then knocked on the door twice.

Then her heart began to beat wildly.

One second, two seconds...

The door opened from the inside, and it was Chen Xu.

Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in." Seeing that she was standing there motionless and her face looked a little strange, Chen Xu asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

She walked in and said, "Nothing."

"No, something must be wrong." Chen Xu pulled her to sit on the sofa and asked, "Did you receive any strange messages?"

Luo Xiyun knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he said, "Just now, someone made an anonymous call."

"I knew it." Chen Xu said with a smile, "Just now, after you left, someone slipped a note under the door."

She completely understood that someone was trying to sow discord between them, but she couldn't help but ask, "Where's the note?"

"I tore it up and it's in the trash can."

"sorry."

"No need to apologize, I'm so happy. It proves that you are really worried about me. If you didn't care at all, I would be worried."
