Chapter 11 Chapter 11 I almost kissed him
In fact, Qin Mian can play basketball, and he plays it pretty well.
Because Zhu Yinglong would usually play with his friends when he had nothing to do, she had gone with him a few times before and gradually learned how to play.
She learns things quite quickly.
The reason she said she couldn't do it was simply because she didn't want to get involved.
But now, the boss wants to teach her personally.
If she refused directly, she would offend him.
Especially since she did it in front of so many of his friends, it was really disrespectful for her as a secretary.
And if she doesn't refuse...
Qin Mian subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xiao.
From now on, she will probably become a thorn in Zhao Xiao's side.
After all, she is a rich second-generation and is in the same circle as Si Tu. She doesn't want to offend her to avoid trouble later.
Just as I was worrying about how to respond, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Si Tu."
Qin Mian turned around when he heard the voice and saw a particularly aloof person appear in front of him. He had an extraordinary temperament and was out of place in this bizarre entertainment venue.
"You really are back." He smiled faintly and looked at Si Tu.
I guess this is the important friend that Si Tu mentioned.
——This was Qin Mian’s first reaction.
Sure enough, the next second, Si Tu stretched out his hand towards him with a smile on his face, "Yes, I'm back."
In a very businesslike manner, Shen Muzhou walked forward, shook his hand, and jokingly said, "So polite?"
This sentence brought them closer together, and Si Tu also laughed and joked, "Isn't it because Mr. Shen is no longer the same as before?"
As they interacted with each other, the feeling of strangeness suddenly became much less. Shen Muzhou couldn't help but smile, blooming the first smile of the night.
Zhao Xiao stood aside, watching the two interacting. She felt that they were similar childhood friends, but now, they seemed different from others.
"Tsk." She sighed and crossed her arms. "What are you two doing?"
Why is it still served?
——She wanted to say that.
The other young men also looked at each other and exchanged glances.
They also discovered that these two people were different from them.
In fact, they knew deep down that their growth rate was far behind these two, but they didn't want to admit it. One of them turned his head and snorted, "Pretend!"
Big Brother G turned his head and looked at him, but did not stop him.
Obviously, he said what he wanted to say.
There was music all around, as well as various noises of playing, which the two parties could not hear. After shaking hands, Si Tu asked Shen Muzhou if he wanted to play ball. He said no, and the two went to the sofa.
The waiter came over to pour the wine. Seeing that no one needed his help, Qin Mian found a corner to sit down, keeping a low profile and acting as an invisible person.
There's no need for her to socialize, so she can just sit in a corner like this, be an outsider, and have a few drinks, which is pretty good.
Si Tu and Shen Muzhou clinked glasses and had a pleasant conversation. Qin Mian was sitting not too far away, and since the music was quieter here and he was away from the noisy crowd over there, he could hear a little bit.
She took a sip of her drink and heard the two of them seemed to be talking about topics related to artificial intelligence.
Shen Muzhou works in the artificial intelligence industry.
It seemed that Si Tu's sudden change of heart and his decision to come here were indeed due to business matters. This made Qin Mian look at him with a new respect.
She raised her eyes and looked at him.
To be honest, Si Tu's handsome and aggressive appearance, as well as his casual and free-spirited words and deeds, make people think that he is a playboy.
Judging from his appearance, she was a little prejudiced against him, thinking that he was just like those legendary rich second-generations who had no ambition to make progress.
Now she found herself to be somewhat stereotyped.
Just as I was lost in thought, someone tapped my shoulder.
Qin Mian turned around and saw Zhao Xiao standing beside her. She looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Come on, accompany me to the bathroom."
Usually in this situation, there is something he wants to tell her. Qin Mian understood, pondered for a moment, put down the water cup in his hand, said okay, and stood up from his seat.
When she stood up and walked away with Zhao Xiao, Si Tu, who was chatting animatedly with Shen Muzhou, glanced over here.
I walked out to the bathroom, and the noise behind me gradually faded away.
Entering the bathroom, Zhao Xiao put her hand under the faucet, washed it, and asked, "What is your relationship with your boss?"
Qin Mian:?
Is this question a bit redundant?
She didn't know whether to doubt her own hearing or the other person's IQ.
Zhao Xiao probably realized that her question wasn't clear enough. She wanted to ask about personal relationships outside of work, so she changed the question, "Is your boss pursuing you?"
"Ah? How is that possible?" Qin Mian was frightened by this question.
This kind of thing should not be said casually.
Zhao Xiao turned her head and looked at her, probably trying to confirm whether she was lying through her reaction.
She asked this question based on her own observation and guesswork.
From when Si Tu reached out his hand to hold her hand at the porridge shop, to now when he brought his secretary to the private party, to the action he just took to let her sit next to him.
Also, when Si Tu was chatting with Shen Muzhou, his eyes frequently turned to Qin Mian.
Si Tu was not very patient in dealing with people, but his attitude towards Qin Mian was obviously different. After all, Zhao Xiao was his childhood friend and had paid special attention to him since he was a child, so any small details would be easily discovered by her.
But since Qin Mian denied it, Zhao Xiao would not reveal her observation to her. She smiled and wiped the water off her hands with a tissue. "Then can you help me pursue him?"
Qin Mian was stunned.
Zhao Xiao raised her eyes and looked at her.
Qin Mian thought about it seriously and said, "Sorry, I can't promise you."
Zhao Xiao:?
Qin Mian also washed his hands and said, "I'm just Mr. Si's secretary. It's my job, so I have no right to interfere in his private life. Please forgive me."
Zhao Xiao stared at her again and again, thinking that she was pretending. She guessed that she might also be interested in Si Tu, so she was unwilling to help her.
"Hmph!" She snorted coldly, turned around, and strode out. "If you don't want to help, forget it."
She would not bother to ask a small secretary like her for help.
The young lady changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Qin Mian raised his head, looked at the other person's back in the mirror, shook his head, and sighed imperceptibly.
After all, he still couldn't maintain a harmonious relationship with this young lady.
When Qin Mian returned to the hall, it was even more lively and more people had come, visibly.
Many people also went to the beverage area and chatted with Si Tu and Shen Muzhou.
There were people sitting everywhere, and Qin Mian was not familiar with them. For a moment, he didn't know where to put himself.
She was hesitating when Si Tu looked at her and asked, "What are you standing there for?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over again.
Although he had been trained in the workplace for these years, Qin Mian still felt a little uneasy after becoming the focus of so many people's attention.
"Come here." Si Tu even curled his lips and patted the empty seat next to him, "Sit here."
Zhao Xiao, who had finally squeezed in to sit next to Si Tu, glared at Qin Mian with her eyes almost popping out when she heard this.
At this moment, Qin Mian seemed to understand why Si Tu brought her, a secretary, to participate in the private meeting.
Could it be that he wanted her to help him act as a shield?
But if you take money from others, you have to help them avoid trouble. Since Zhao Xiao has turned against her, she will be a good person and help her boss.
So, Qin Mian pulled the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, Mr. Si."
As she spoke, she walked towards Si Tu and sat down on the other side of him.
Shen Muzhou saw it and smiled secretly. The curve of his lips was very shallow, not easy to be noticed. He picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
After Qin Mian sat down, Si Tu specially introduced her to Shen Muzhou.
It was obvious that his relationship with him was different from that of others.
It would be more friendly. Because business cooperation might be involved later, Qin Mian also spoke politely to the other party.
Si Tu unconsciously put his hands on the back of the sofa behind her, crossed his legs, and leaned his body towards her, as if holding her in his arms.
On the other side, Zhao Xiao was almost facing him with her back, and he used his body to isolate her from the conversation between the three of them.
How could the young lady bear such neglect?
Not long after, she angrily threw down the wine glass and got up to go play somewhere else.
Shen Muzhou took Si Tu's body language into consideration and smiled knowingly while talking to Qin Mian.
Because Qin Mian was facing Chen Muzhou, he didn't pay much attention to Si Tu's actions behind him.
"Are you thirsty?" Si Tu said, putting down his crossed legs, bending down, pouring a glass of water from the table and handing it to her.
When Qin Mian turned around to take the cup of water, she found that Si Tu was almost next to her. When she turned her head, she almost kissed him.
She quickly turned her head away and took a sip of water.
The show ended around eight or nine that evening.
The two got into the car, and Si Tu suddenly asked, "What did Zhao Xiao say to you?"
He drank tonight, but Qin Mian didn't. He was sitting in the driver's seat, fastening his seat belt. He paused when he heard this.
She didn't expect that he noticed Zhao Xiao looking for her.
"Miss Zhao hopes that I can help her pursue you."
"Then what? What did you say?" Si Tu also pulled the seat belt and fastened it.
"Because I'm not sure what you think, I don't dare to agree rashly, so I thought of asking for your opinion first." Qin Mian answered as he started the car.
Si Tu couldn't help but laugh, crossed his arms, looked at her calmly, and said, "So you see, you are very suitable to be my secretary."
Putting the boss's ideas first in everything is what a secretary should have.
Qin Mian didn't know whether he was praising himself for his good vision or praising her for knowing how to speak and act properly.
In any case, it would not be a disadvantage for her to flatter her boss.
She took the steering wheel, smiled, and said, "Boss Si has a good eye and gave me room to develop."
"Haha!" Si Tu was amused by her reaction and laughed heartily, "Qin Mian."
Qin Mian nodded, "Yes, Mr. Si."
"Can you not be so polite when talking to me?" Si Tu looked at her with amusement.
After a few years of working, Qin Mian had inevitably picked up some workplace habits. She herself didn't like to flatter, but many leaders liked it. Often, flatterers could get good looks and opportunities, so she had to force herself to make some changes to better adapt to the environment.
Now that Si Tu had pointed it out, her face flushed. She uttered an "oh" and said, "Okay."
She didn't expect that Si Tu was different from other leaders and didn't like to flatter.
After all, I don't know him well enough.
But now she knows, and she will adjust accordingly in the future.
**
Qin Mian first sent Si Tu home, and as usual, he let her drive away.
Qin Mian hesitated, "This car...will you still use it tomorrow?"
"Of course." Si Tu unbuckled his seat belt. "Come pick me up tomorrow and I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Mian was silent for a moment, "But, I have an appointment tomorrow."
She also didn't want to "work overtime" with him every day.
Hearing this, Si Tu paused in opening the car door, turned around, and asked, "Who did you meet?"
"A friend." Qin Mian said.
Si Tu stared at her, "Male or female?"
The author has something to say:

Secretary Qin:?
Mr. Si, you've crossed the line.
