Chu Xing paused. This office was originally where the acting president worked, so it was understandable that the other party had a habit of displaying a family photo in the office.
He had completely forgotten about it because he was in such a hurry, and only noticed it now when Song Mai brought it up.
Chu Xing tensed up instinctively, his mind a jumble of thoughts, completely at a loss for how to explain.
"This is……"
"Actually, I already know." Song Mai said this again without warning, causing Chu Xing to pause.
Then, with a hint of guilt, he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to. Now that you know, the reason I hid my identity is because..."
"Actually, this office belongs to both of you, right? In the early stages of a startup, it's inevitable to need to conserve resources." Song Mai gently put down the family photo and sighed helplessly.
I thought she had discovered her true identity, but it turns out she was just finding an excuse for herself.
Chu Xing felt conflicted. He had almost let something slip earlier, so he decided to take this opportunity to be honest.
He looked at Song Mai seriously, about to speak, but then hesitated again.
Going with the flow is certainly convenient, but it's unclear whether Songmai can accept it.
"What identity did you just say?" Song Mai realized what was happening and instinctively turned to ask.
Chu Xing opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
After a long while, he could only sigh helplessly: "It's nothing, I just feel very guilty."
"Don't feel guilty. It's already quite impressive to have achieved this scale in the early stages of a startup. It's perfectly reasonable for the two of you to share an office, and there's no need to feel awkward about it."
I didn't expect him to be so concerned about saving face.
Song Mai's words initially moved him deeply, but her subsequent heartfelt words left him feeling somewhat helpless.
He sighed subconsciously, which temporarily averted the crisis.
The employees outside looked around curiously, wondering what had happened.
Song Mai felt a little shy and quickly closed the door.
Turning her head, she noticed Chu Xing staring at her, so she immediately pretended nothing had happened and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it will have a bad influence."
Next, Song Mai learned about the company's business briefly and couldn't help but give Chu Xing a thumbs up.
In just a few months, he managed the company so well that its scale and business capabilities were beyond the reach of many other companies.
I believe that Chu Xing's company will definitely achieve rapid development in the near future.
While Song Mai was still reflecting, she suddenly heard a woman's noisy voice coming from afar.
"I want to see which vixen dares to seduce my husband and even come to his company to assert her dominance. Has she no shame?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly flung open.
The woman, adorned with jewels, paused for a moment upon seeing Song Mai, then rushed forward.
Seeing that she was about to slap her, Song Mai instinctively reached out to block it.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xing protectively pulled her behind him, looking at the woman with a cold expression.
"And where did you come from, you pretty boy?"
Chu Xing's identity is mysterious, and he mostly attends high-profile social events, making it difficult for ordinary people to see him, let alone ordinary workers in the company.
Who are you?
Even though he was furious, Chu Xing still spoke politely and without any impoliteness.
Such character is enough to prove this man's excellence, Song Mai couldn't help but sigh.
[His composure is remarkable; it seems his gamble of randomly choosing someone to marry back then really paid off.]
Chu Xing was both amused and exasperated. At this point, Song Mai was still thinking about such things.
Seeing that she was in the wrong, the woman became even more enraged and couldn't help but yell, "You have the nerve to seduce my man, but don't you have the nerve to admit it?"
“This is my husband. When did he become yours?” Song Mai subconsciously grabbed Chu Xing’s arm to prove her identity.
These words pleased Chu Xing greatly, and the gloom on his face dissipated considerably.
The woman paused, a clear hint of hesitation appearing on her face.
"Stop playing dumb! My husband is the president of this company!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xing immediately understood the whole story.
He gave Assistant Lu a wink, and Assistant Lu immediately turned to the woman and said, "You mean our company's acting president? Because President Chu is usually too busy, President Zhang has always been the acting president."
"What acting president? My husband is clearly the owner of this company!"
In the woman's eyes, everything these people said was an attempt to defend the vixen.
The more she got angry and embarrassed, the more she threw her bag on the ground: "Don't talk nonsense here. Do you think I don't know who my husband is?"
After saying that, the woman prepared to rush forward and grab Song Mai.
This time, without Song Mai having to lift a finger, Chu Xing simply grabbed the woman's wrist and watched helplessly as the bodyguards rushed over.
"Let her calm down."
The woman, restrained by the bodyguards, struggled uncontrollably and cursed loudly.
The acting president rushed over quickly and, seeing the mess at the scene, knew something was wrong.
He approached Chu Xing with a guilty expression and cautiously said, "I'm really sorry. My wife has a bad temper, and I didn't explain the company's situation to her, which caused this misunderstanding."
When the woman saw her usually strong and independent husband apologizing to a young boy, she was instantly overwhelmed.
"What are you talking about? Why are you apologizing to some pretty boy? You're the president of this company, am I wrong?"
The series of questions made Chu Xing's face grow increasingly gloomy.
The acting president panicked and blurted out to the woman, "Shut up!"
The woman was stunned after being scolded by her husband. Although her eyes still showed disbelief, she could tell that the situation was not good.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone stopped, Assistant Lu hurriedly said, "You've misunderstood. This Mr. Zhang is indeed the acting president, but our Mr. Chu is the real boss of the company."
Realizing she had angered her husband's boss, the woman seemed to deflate instantly, losing all her strength.
She staggered forward a few steps, glancing cautiously at Chu Xing, her face full of regret.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, I didn't know your identity. I just heard that a woman claiming to be the boss's wife came to the company, so I panicked for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lu realized that someone in the company had tipped him off.
The only person who initially greeted Song Mai and knew her identity was the receptionist.
