Chapter 1037 Extra 35: Who can refuse love?
Shen Qian quickly covered her colleague's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I look a lot like my parents. How can I be so lucky? I am some rich girl who has been stranded outside."
"I was just joking. Don't forget each other when you become rich and powerful."
Shen Qian smiled perfunctorily.
She returned her attention to the screen in front of her. She did look a bit like Qiao Xi. If her hair could be trimmed, her hairstyle changed to a ponytail, and her facial features modified with makeup, the original two-tenths resemblance could be increased to five-tenths.
And her dressing style is also very simple.
And...Mr. Zhong sponsored her.
Her name is also pronounced "Xi".
These coincidences made this girl, who was in the budding stage of love, think more. Perhaps, among so many people, Zhong Shao chose her because of these similarities. Shen Qian supported her chin, her mood was very complicated.
As an assistant, maybe... she will have a greater chance of meeting Master Zhong in the future.
Does she want to...
Let’s first see what Master Zhong thinks of her.
…
On the other side, Feng Nanxi left the assistant's large office and returned to her own small office.
Wan Jiang had already sent all the information, much of it from clients, including Zhong Yi himself. He also had notes on project collaboration, a rough itinerary for the next month, and the projects and funding that the subsidiary had sent back for approval.
Feng Nanxi looked at the huge pile of documents and realized how difficult it was to be Zhong Yi's special assistant.
It was dozens of times more than her usual workload.
After all, she usually only needs to maintain network security and do some private work for Zhong Yi.
She flipped through Zhong Yi's notes.
Wan Jiang even remembered his dietary restrictions.
What a thoughtful and good special assistant.
Feng Nanxi couldn't help but roll her eyes, and the phone beside her vibrated.
"Fei Luan, I'm going back to China! Have you resigned? Can we go travel around the rivers and mountains?" A young and lively male voice came from the other side of the phone.
Feng Nanxi was a little annoyed: "First, I've corrected you countless times. Jiang Chengsu, please don't call me Fei Luan in the three-dimensional world. You will expose my identity, and those who I offend will definitely kill me! Second, I haven't resigned yet. My financial sponsor won't let me!"
"Why doesn't Zhongyi let you quit? Isn't he already the boss of the capital? Why is he still exploiting a poor laborer like you? We can make a deal: once we're financially free, we can enjoy life. I even dropped out of school and made a 100-page travel guide so I can travel with you."
The young man spoke very quickly and was a chatterbox.
Feng Nanxi's head was buzzing from his verbal attack, and she felt a throbbing sensation even when she rubbed her temples.
Should I also go see a Chinese doctor?
"Jiang Chengsu! Shut up and let me take it easy."
"Oh, then why didn't your sponsor let you go? Was he attracted by your talent or your looks? Didn't you make it clear what you wanted to do when you resigned? Aren't we, the new generation of working professionals, free to leave at any time? Why do you need approval to resign?"
Yes.
Just go when you say go.
Feng Nanxi suddenly slapped her head.
Why was she still entangled with Zhong Yi at that time!
After talking so much nonsense, I ended up falling into someone else's trap and now I have to face more work.
Are you crazy?
"Jiang Chengsu, why didn't you call me earlier?"
"You're still blaming me. I told you you were bewitched by Zhong Yi's appearance. Last year, I asked you to go enjoy life with me, but you hesitated. I don't know what in the capital can attract you, except for that man named Zhong Yi."
"Shut up!"
"You're getting angry out of shame. If you like someone, just say it directly."
Feng Nanxi said with a cold face, "He doesn't like me. He just treats me as a good subordinate and will wait for me for another month. I will definitely resign successfully after a month..."
"Why don't you leave now?"
"One cannot go back on one's word. Now..."
"Feng Nanxi, you really have double standards! You can go back on your word to me, but you have to keep your promise to Zhongyi. You are really hopeless! I won't talk to you anymore. I will be in the downtown area of the imperial capital soon. I will be downstairs of your company later, and you must treat me to a big dinner tonight."
"I didn't..."
Jiang Chengsu hung up the phone directly.
Feng Nanxi snorted coldly. She was not free at all that evening. She had been bewitched and agreed to Zhong Yi to attend some messy cocktail party. How could she have time for a big meal!
She was furious.
As she flipped through the documents and recorded the key points, she gritted her teeth and cursed Zhong Yi for exploitation. She was so crazy that she even had to go through the resignation process. When had Feng Nanxi ever been such a rule-abiding person?
However, since she had promised the other person, she had no choice but to do it.
Because deep down she still didn't want the man to have a bad impression of her.
But Shen Qian's plain and pretty face appeared in her mind again. She was indeed not as beautiful as Qiao Xi, but just that little resemblance made Feng Nanxi feel like a thorn in her heart.
She wanted to ask Zhong Yi why he recruited Shen Qian, and whether it was because that face gave her a backdoor.
But why should she ask?
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the small office door.
Feng Nanxi looked up and said, "Please come in."
She watched Shen Qian cautiously walk in and placed a large, beautifully packaged bag in front of her. "Assistant Feng, the front desk asked me to bring this up. They said the brand store sent a dress and shoes specifically for you, and this box contains a set of matching jewelry. Because it's too valuable, they asked me to go down and get it and deliver it to your office personally."
"Okay, I understand."
"Do you have any other instructions? Do you need a makeup artist to come to your house or... I can arrange that for you. Judging from the situation, you must be attending an important party."
Shen Qian pinched her fingers, knowing that this was an unnecessary question.
But I don’t know why some thoughts keep fermenting in my heart and I can’t control them.
I heard that Mr. Zhong and Feng Nanxi had a special relationship, and there were also rumors of some ambiguity. However, there was no further progress in all these years. Shen Qian guessed that Mr. Zhong had no such intention at all, but Feng Nanxi in front of her must have fallen in love with that man.
After all, who can refuse love?
"No, I'll call you if I need anything. For now, you just need to help with some chores. Remember to set up the conference room tomorrow morning. I see this is also within your scope of responsibility. If you don't know how to set it up properly, ask your seniors for help."
Feng Nanxi spoke in a businesslike tone. She did not specifically target Shen Qian, nor did she take care of her.
"Okay, I will definitely complete the task."
"Well, you go down first."
Shen Qian nodded, then walked out of the office and closed the door, looking very considerate.
