In the process of learning how to pursue someone, Sanwa learned a trick: first, win over the people around the other person.
If someone who is inclined to support him occasionally provides assistance, it can be very helpful.
Thanks to his previous contact with Xie Yunyun, he knew that she had a secretary she relied on very much, and they had a good relationship not only in business but also in personal matters.
So, he decided to bring the secretary to his side first.
As the secretary was walking towards the subway station after get off work, she was unexpectedly stopped by someone.
"It's you? What do you want?" she asked warily.
Sanwa shrugged. "I mean no harm, I just have some questions for you, I won't take up too much of your time."
At his request, the two sat down at a nearby bubble tea shop.
After ordering drinks, Sanwa explained his purpose.
"I would like to inquire about your General Manager Xie."
"I would never betray President Xie," the secretary scoffed.
"Sigh, I'm not surprised you have a problem with me. I didn't handle things well before, which caused your CEO Xie to suffer, but it was a misunderstanding." "That sounds nice, but who knows what really happened," she muttered.
Sanwa, feeling helpless and at a loss for words, asked, "What do I have to do for you to believe me?"
Seeing that he seemed very sincere, and remembering her boss's past heartbreak over him, she felt indignant.
"You treat President Xie very badly."
So what if he's handsome?
"What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know how you and President Xie got along, but after you broke up, President Xie was very sad. Do you know that President Xie has liked you for ten years? How could you treat her like that?"
"Ten years?" Sanwa suddenly realized. So, it was when he first started teaching at Guangzhou University.
"Yes, do you know what ten years means to a girl? Even if you don't like President Xie, please don't trample on her feelings for you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know before, and I didn't dislike her either."
Upon hearing the last sentence, the secretary's eyes lit up.
"You like our CEO Xie too?"
"I think so," Sanwa said shyly. According to his mother's analysis, he did have some feelings for Xie Yunyun.
Moreover, he really didn't want to see other women around Xie Yunyun.
Since others can't do it, then it can only be him.
"President Xie sent you a text message, how could you not know she likes you?" The secretary suddenly remembered this and became wary again.
Sanwa smiled wryly. "The text message wasn't saved in my contacts, so I deleted it because I didn't know who sent it."
The secretary couldn't have been more disappointed.
"Sigh, what a cruel twist of fate. What about that text message that President Xie sent you later? You didn't know about it either?"
There's another one?
Sanwa nodded regretfully. "Could you tell me what the text message said? I'd really like to know."
Although she didn't know if Mr. Xie was still willing to talk to this person, the secretary didn't want Mr. Xie's ten years of deep affection to be buried.
Even if telling him only makes this guy feel regretful and guilty, it's worth it.
"When Ms. Xie sent the first text message, she thought she was infected and wouldn't live much longer, and she didn't want to leave any regrets, so she sent a confession text message."
Sanwa was taken aback and immediately thought of the pandemic in 2003.
It turns out that she had gone through all of that back then.
"Later, something happened to Ms. Xie's family. Alas, our Ms. Xie has had a tough time these past few years. When she had just graduated from university, her father was in a car accident and the perpetrator fled the scene. Later, her father passed away, her grandmother became seriously ill, and the family accumulated a lot of debt."
"President Xie always works with a fearless attitude because she has a heavy burden on her shoulders."
"By the way, the text message. It was the second text message Mr. Xie sent when his family had that incident. After that, there was no hope left for us."
Some of these things were known to the secretary after she had known Xie Yunyun for a long time, while others were revealed by Xie Yunyun after crying so much that night.
Sanwa felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Perhaps because the secretary's description was more specific this time, he miraculously recalled the contents of the text message.
I know there's someone who's secretly liked you for ten years, but never bothered you in your life.
Unless the person is an enemy, few people could remain unmoved.
"Thank you for telling me all this. May I ask you another question?"
"you say."
"That man who was standing with you that day, who was he?" He felt very uncomfortable thinking about the hand that was on Xie Yunyun's shoulder.
The secretary smiled.
"Oh, you mean him? He's a rich second-generation heir from a wealthy family. He's got a thing for our CEO Xie and is pursuing her."
Xie Yunyun had already met with the handsome young man several times, and the secretary had noticed this and felt that there might be a chance between them.
Hearing this, Sanwa felt even worse.
Although one meeting wasn't enough to make the secretary his assistant, he at least learned a lot of information and shamelessly added her contact information.
Because of the handsome little boy's presence, the third child also felt a sense of crisis.
No, he has to act immediately.
The secretary went to the office the next day and explained the situation to Xie Yunyun.
She had no intention of keeping it a secret.
"Mr. Xie, Professor Li, she came to see me."
"Looking for you?" Xie Yunyun asked in surprise.
"Yes, he asked me about you and said he didn't know the contents of the text messages. He said he deleted them because he didn't know who sent them. I was angry and told him everything. Mr. Xie, I'm sorry," the secretary said apologetically.
He didn't know the contents of the text message?
Wait a minute, Xie Yunyun was surprised and recalled the contents of the phone call that day. It seemed that he really hadn't mentioned it, only that he knew about the text message.
So, was he bluffing himself?
She didn't think that Sanwa would need to go through the trouble of deceiving his subordinates after knowing the contents of the text message.
If he was unaware of this, then reflecting on my own reaction, it seems I overreacted.
So, that's why he came to explain?
Seeing Xie Yunyun remain silent, the secretary whispered, "President Xie, it seems he's not indifferent to you; he might even have feelings for you."
"How could that be?" Xie Yunyun retorted instinctively.
She was just grateful that he didn't dislike her; she never dared to hope that he would have any feelings for her.
"Mr. Xie, I'm not lying to you. He said it himself. He likes you."
Xie Yunyun's eyes widened.
"I heard you have a new suitor now, and he's quite anxious about it..."
Xie Yunyun couldn't hear what the secretary was saying anymore; only those words kept replaying in her mind: "He likes you."
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Yunyun finally snapped out of her daze when the secretary called out to her.
"Mr. Xie, don't worry, I'm definitely on your side. Um, if he comes to me again to ask about you, should I still pay attention to him?"
"Xiao Xu, my mind is a bit of a mess right now. Let me calm down first. I'll talk to you again in a bit."
"Oh, okay."
After the secretary left, Xie Yunyun got up and started pacing around the room, biting her fingers without realizing it.
