Chapter 1039 Extra 37: Don’t poach my girlfriend
These two have always been like this.
After all these years, every time we meet, it feels like I've eaten a bomb.
But due to his demeanor, he was still very careful when speaking, but there were undercurrents and hidden attacks between the lines.
"Just an assistant."
I like these four faint words.
Defined Feng Nanxi's status.
"Just an assistant? Why didn't Wan Jiang come with you? I remember he was the one who accompanied you to various events in the past."
"Wanjiang is more suitable for taking care of children. He is caring and considerate."
Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly. "Thank you, Master Zhong, for your thoughtfulness and for taking good care of my two babies. But I'm a little disappointed. I thought Master Zhong was about to get married. If I had my own children, I might not be so concerned about other people's children."
"I still like to enjoy the single life."
"It seems I misunderstood, but the two of you do look very well matched."
"Boss Huo's eyesight isn't very good. I brought my assistant here today to see the world and interact with people her age. Maybe she can find a good match here, which would be a wonderful story. As for me, I have no intention of getting married."
He looked at Feng Nanxi and said, "You can move freely first."
Feng Nanxi clutched the hem of her skirt tightly and said softly, "Then I'll be leaving now."
She walked to the side and picked up the champagne. Many people came forward to chat with her with various thoughts in mind.
Huo Xingzhou took a quick look and then withdrew his gaze. As an outsider, he could see some signs. However, Zhong Yi liked to nip any signs in the bud. Over the years, he had dismissed all the women who approached him with various excuses.
Only Feng Nanxi was left, having followed him safely for five years.
"When do you plan to terminate your cooperation with Feiluan? Our Tianyuan Group also needs such a master."
Huo Xingzhou felt that Feng Nanxi had been staying by Zhong Yi's side, and was also flirting with a blind man.
"Don't try to steal my girlfriend."
"What if she wants to?"
Zhong Yi looked at him seriously, wondering if Huo Xingzhou had secretly contacted Feng Nanxi and offered her favorable conditions. Was that why Feng Nanxi said she wanted to resign and even made up some high-sounding excuses?
"She probably doesn't want to go to Haicheng."
"How will you know if you don't try? Or are you just reluctant to give it up?"
"Mr. Huo, enough is enough. I've been very generous of you coming to this party today to poach people. Otherwise, I would have had you kicked out long ago."
Huo Xingzhou smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the National Medical Award Ceremony. Qiao Xi asked me to ask you something. Are you going to be there?"
"Of course I do."
Huo Xingzhou took out a small and exquisite invitation from his suit pocket and handed it to him. "I've delivered it. There are also a few good talents at the cocktail party. I will send them interview notices when the time comes. I'm leaving now."
"Let's go now."
It's annoying to look at.
Huo Xingzhou plucked feathers from passing geese, and even if they came to deliver an invitation, he would poach a few high-end talents.
Zhong Yi held the invitation letter in his hand. He understood how important this invitation letter was to Qiao Xi.
…
In the corner.
Feng Nanxi shook off the crowd of people trying to get close to her and found time to grab a glass of champagne. The snacks at the party were quite good. She wasn't the type to be melancholic, constantly immersing herself in the sadness of the man she loved not liking her.
Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and be sad when you should be sad.
She took a bite of her French pastry and someone tapped her shoulder.
She turned her head impatiently, only to see a familiar profile.
"Surprised? Unexpected? I heard you were here, so I came! Luckily, I received the invitation to the cocktail party and didn't throw it away. I didn't expect that Fei Luan would also attend such a cocktail party that is full of ritual and fake."
"Jiang Chengsu!"
Feng Nanxi looked around, then looked at the young boy in front of her who was dressed in a way that didn't fit in with the crowd. "You're here just like that?"
Everyone else is in suits and ties.
He was even carrying a backpack.
It looks like a conspicuous bag.
"Then how can I come? You won't mind me embarrassing you, right? I took a taxi all the way here from the airport and didn't have time to buy clothes." Jiang Chengsu is a mixed-race child with a very delicate appearance. His mother is Chinese, and he looks more like his mother.
His parents have always lived in the country, and his Mandarin is quite standard, just like a native.
Only the three-dimensionality of his facial features and the color of his pupils can reveal his identity.
"Then why don't you call me in advance? Stay away from me and don't let people think I know you."
"Fei Luan, you've changed!"
"I warned you, don't call me Feiluan outside. Please call me Feng Nanxi. I have my own name."
"Xixi!"
Jiang Chengsu called out directly and affectionately.
Feng Nanxi was immediately stunned!
In real life, no one would call her Xixi. If they were close, they would call her Nanxi. She had previously thought that Zhongyi recruited Shen Qian because of her similar eyes and her nickname that sounded the same as Qiao Xi.
As a result, I realized it later.
She is also Xi.
Depend on!
Are you having trouble with this homonym of Zhong Yi?
Feng Nanxi felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten coptis.
"Jiang Chengsu, please don't call me by that name. It's disgusting. Will you die if you just call me by my full name?"
Jiang Chengsu put down his backpack, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. Did that rich man do something to you again? If all else fails, come traveling with me. You haven't made any progress by staying with him. Maybe he's gotten used to your presence and has ignored your role."
Leave him for a while so that he won't get used to it.
Feng Nanxi pursed her lips and said, "Not for now. Put your claws down. I didn't dress so ladylike today just to be ruined by you."
"OK!"
Jiang Chengsu put down his paws, picked up the plate and started eating.
"I haven't eaten anything for more than ten hours on the plane. Which one tastes good?" he asked while stuffing food into his mouth.
Feng Nanxi rolled her eyes and poured him a glass of juice. "Eat slowly, don't choke. It's so embarrassing to stand next to you. I can't even bear to watch."
"Hey, we're a golden pair. If it weren't for my protection over the years, your identity would have been discovered long ago. Are you starting to dislike me now? Do you believe I can tell everyone about your identity?"
"Go ahead and tell them!"
Feng Nanxi trusts him, Jiang Chengsu said so, but in reality he would never do anything to hurt her.
They knew each other since they were teenagers and were the most tacit partners on the Internet.
Over the years, the friendship has remained strong.
Jiang Chengsu's cheeks puffed up, and he poked Feng Nanxi with his elbow, signaling her to look straight ahead.
"Your financial sponsor...is here."
Feng Nanxi saw the man approaching out of the corner of her eye, and her whole body tensed up.
Zhong Yi walked up to them, looked at them gently and asked, "Is he the reason for your resignation?"
