Chapter 43
Moved to Jiang Fengyi's office
Jingjiang Canteen
Jiang Fengyi, who was about 70% full, put down her chopsticks. Xu, who was sitting opposite her, was still drinking soup and asked a question.
"The seaweed soup is quite good today, would you like some?"
Jiang Fengyi had just eaten several ribs. While eating them, she only felt they were delicious, but afterwards she realized they were a bit greasy.
She nodded: "I'll try it."
Xu Que was just scooping up a spoonful of seaweed soup when she heard Jiang Fengyi say this. She gently blew on it and then brought the spoon directly to Jiang Fengyi's lips.
Jiang Fengyi was already used to Xu Que feeding her, and drank directly from her hand.
"It's very refreshing."
"Want some more?"
After asking the question, Xu brought over a spoonful of soup.
Jiang Fengyi took several sips before shaking her head at her.
"I'm not drinking anymore, I'm so full."
Xu didn't say anything and continued to drink the soup with the spoon he had used to feed Jiang Fengyi.
In the corner,
He Shuyi dropped the half-eaten rib back into the bowl, and mechanically turned her body back.
"This...this isn't just ambiguous anymore, it's practically the honeymoon phase, isn't it?"
Few employees left the cafeteria after finishing their meals. They would occasionally poke at their empty bowls with their chopsticks, their eyes subtly watching Jiang Fengyi and Xu Que.
As the center of attention, Xu Que went to great lengths to showcase her intimacy with Xu Que.
"How about we have some fruit after the meal?"
Xu naturally helped Jiang Fengyi clear away the tableware in front of her.
"Shall I go get you some?"
Jiang Fengyi thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat oranges."
Xu returned with oranges and grapes.
Jiang Fengyi was focused on processing documents on her phone and didn't notice that Xu had already returned.
When she looked up again, Xu had not only peeled the orange, but also removed the white pith from it piece by piece.
Golden oranges, placed on paper towels, were piled up in front of Jiang Fengyi.
Xu Que was peeling grapes when Jiang Fengyi looked over. Just then, Xu Que had finished peeling a grape, and the juice was dripping all over her hands.
"Want to eat?"
Before Jiang Fengyi could answer, Xu handed it over.
With her mouth slightly open, her cool fingertips brushed against Jiang Fengyi's warm lips, the grape juice on her hands reaching her mouth before the fruit itself.
The sweet and sour taste stimulated Jiang Fengyi's taste buds, and at the same time, it also stimulated the eyes of the other people in the cafeteria.
Jiang Fengyi squinted her eyes, feeling a pang of jealousy: "No, thank you."
The last grape that had touched Jiang Fengyi's lips fell into Xu Que's mouth.
She smacked her lips: "It's quite sweet." It has a sweet and sour taste with a hint of floral fragrance.
After the two left the cafeteria,
The company's anonymous forum exploded.
[A woman suspected to be Jiang Zemin's girlfriend has appeared!!!]
What kind of assistant would feed their boss like that?
They even shared a single soup spoon.
[I saw it too! I was a little late getting off work, and there weren't many people left in the cafeteria. When I was looking for a seat, I saw Boss Jiang tilting his head back and opening his mouth, waiting for his girlfriend to feed him grapes.]
[However, President Jiang didn't eat it because he thought it was too sour, hahaha]
Wow, President Jiang really has a girlfriend? Waaah, I'm going to go cry for a bit.
Wait a minute! Isn't this President Jiang's assistant? When did she become his girlfriend?
[Does anyone know the inside story?]
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one came out to reply; everyone just kept leaving comments under the post.
The two parties involved were completely unaware that people in the company had already begun to speculate about their relationship, and that everyone was watching their every move, since everyone loved to slack off on the company's anonymous forum.
The seemingly ordinary intimacy between Jiang Fengyi and Xu Que was magnified tenfold in the eyes of the company's employees.
“While working, Xu Que’s gaze kept drifting towards the door of President Jiang’s office. It was so obvious!”
"Live update: The assistant has gone to President Jiang's office again."
Xu arrived at Jiang Fengyi's office, closed the door tightly, bent her knees against the door, and took a heavy breath.
The ever-present line of sight was finally blocked.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Xu Que's relieved expression after entering, Jiang Fengyi couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is someone chasing you outside?"
Xu straightened up: "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like there are many eyes watching me from the shadows."
Jiang Fengyi stopped what she was doing: "Now that you mention it, I had the same feeling today."
"It's especially noticeable when multiple people come in to report on their work."
"If both of them have it, then it's not an illusion."
Xu walked closer to Jiang Fengyi: "May I stay in your office?" She found a seat and sat down, "There won't be any unwanted gazes on me here."
"Then you can stay here with me."
She nestled comfortably in the chair: "Then I'll stay here until you get off work."
Jiang Fengyi had no objection: "Just don't disturb my work."
"I definitely won't bother you!" Xu Que sat opposite Jiang Fengyi, resting his chin on his hand. "If there's anything I need you to do, just let me know!"
"Please print out this document for me."
"no problem!"
There was a printer in the office, and Xu carefully arranged the printed A4 papers in order and handed them to Jiang Fengyi.
"President Jiang, how did I do?"
Xu's eyes lit up, as if he was looking forward to being praised by his boss.
To avoid disappointing her, Jiang Fengyi spoke awkwardly.
"Very...very good."
Xu's mouth stretched into a wide grin like a golden retriever that had been pampered by its owner, while his invisible tail swayed like a propeller.
"Is there anything else that needs to be done?"
Jiang Fengyi looked around but couldn't find any odd jobs.
"No...that's all."
As she finished speaking, a surge of high spirits followed.
But soon,
Those lonely eyes regained their luster.
Xu had a great idea: "I'll go get my computer and sit next to you to work!"
After saying that, she was about to run out excitedly, but when she got close to the door, she remembered that Jiang Fengyi hadn't agreed yet, so she turned back and winked at her.
Is that okay?
Upon seeing Jiang Fengyi nod, Xu rushed out like a gust of wind, returning to Jiang Fengyi's side before the door was even closed.
"She can sit here."
Xu brought herself a chair. Jiang Fengyi's desk was spacious enough that sitting next to her wouldn't affect her work at all.
"Then I'll sit here!"
Xu regretted not thinking of this sooner, so that she could have had more time to spend with Jiang Fengyi.
After feeling tired from working on the computer, I looked up at Jiang Fengyi and my eyes immediately felt refreshed.
Jiang Fengyi was affected by her and couldn't concentrate on her work.
"Focus on your work and don't look at me."
Xu was surprised: "You're not even allowed to look?"
"You can look, but you're not allowed to stare at it for too long."
Xu lowered his head in grievance and could only vent his burning feelings for Jiang Fengyi through work.
The tightly closed office door blocked many inquiring glances, but it couldn't stop the heated discussion.
Company anonymous forum
[Breaking news: The assistant went out to get a laptop and then returned to President Jiang's office.]
When He Shuyi saw the comments on the forum, she realized that someone who knew so much about Xu Que's whereabouts must be someone from the same office. She glanced around, curious about who this gossipy person was who was just as curious as she was.
She tried to utter a sentence.
Are there people on the 22nd floor watching this drama unfold?
Unfortunately, no one replied to He Shuyi; the comments section was buzzing with other discussions.
[I don't understand, are these two working or dating?]
[Bringing a computer is for work, right? Who brings a computer to a date?]
Can someone tell me, are they real or fake?
[Is this the ambiguous stage? This is the best time to ship them!]
This truly makes her a double success in love and career; I'm so envious I could grind my teeth to dust.
When everyone gets really into gossip, they get so engrossed that time flies by.
[It's been half an hour, and the person still hasn't come out.]
Oh ho...
Oh ho...
Oh ho...
[Perhaps they're having some post-work-related conversations that are rekindling their feelings for each other. Has anyone gone in to check what kind of emotional exchange they're having?]
[Are you crazy? Who would go in at this time, to become a third wheel and brighten up their world?]
The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor.
After Wu Qi stepped out of the elevator with the documents and tablet in her arms, she strode through the crowd and headed straight for Jiang Fengyi's office.
"Sister Wu!"
He Shuyi suddenly spoke up, stopping Wu Qi who was moving forward at full speed.
"Are you looking for General Manager Jiang?"
"Yes!" Wu Qi slowed her pace. "Is President Jiang in his office?"
"She...she's here, there's someone in her office right now."
Wu Qi didn't mind: "It's okay, I'll wait for her to finish her report."
Before He Shuyi could continue to dissuade her, she knocked on the tightly closed office door.
"Enter!"
Jiang Fengyi's steady voice came from behind the door.
Wu Qi pushed the door open and entered. Many eyes behind her tried to peek through the slightly ajar door, but the door quickly closed again.
Seeing Xu sitting next to Jiang Fengyi while working, Wu Qi was surprised, though she didn't show it on her face. Were the two so close that they didn't want to be apart for even a moment?
She didn't forget her important business.
"President Jiang, look..."
Wu Qi handed the tablet to Jiang Fengyi.
On the screen,
It's a promotional poster for a variety show, and Jiang Ruxuan, whom we both know and dislike, is prominently featured in the image.
"What's wrong with her?"
"This is a dating reality show, but Ms. Zhao mentioned Ms. Xu vaguely in the program."
Xu looked up from the computer and pointed his index finger at himself.
"I?"
Wu Qi nodded: "But she cleverly avoided mentioning the company or Ms. Xu's name."
Jiang Fengyi asked, "What did she say?"
Before answering, Wu Qi glanced at Xu Que: "She said that she had met someone she was attracted to when she was working at a company, but unfortunately, the other party rejected her because of his boss."
She released a clip of Zhao Ruxuan saying this, in which she paused deliberately after mentioning meeting someone who made her heart flutter, and then deliberately put on a sad expression.
"Unfortunately, she wanted a better life and went to her boss."
These words are clearly malicious slander against Jiang Fengyi and Xu Que.
Many people mocked the program's announcement.
Did Ruxuan join the company under a concealed identity? She might have agreed if you revealed you were from the Zhao family.
[Hilarious! Trying to take a shortcut but ending up taking the wrong path]
[He couldn't even figure out how to climb the social ladder. He rejected the young and beautiful second daughter of the Zhao family and instead gave himself to an annoying company leader. Maybe the leader will go bald from worry.]
Does anyone know which company Xuanxuan previously worked for? I'd like to find out who her boss and this subordinate are.
Of course, there are also normal people on the show.
[They just rejected her, was it really necessary to say it so harshly?]
[Exactly, does it mean only your Zhao family is the best in the world?]
What's the difference between a man who incites fans to cyberbully Huang Yao because she was rejected and a man who has children with Huang Yao after being rejected? They're both equally disgusting.
Jiang Fengyi frowned after reading only a few comments.
"Has the public relations department not taken any action?"
"She didn't name names, so the PR department won't come forward to claim responsibility; they can only keep deleting comments."
Jiang Fengyi was deep in thought.
"Go register an account for me."
