Chapter 260 Still So Stubborn
Han Xi said some harsh words, but she felt terrible inside. Even she herself did not expect that she would actually be jealous of Chen Jiheng.
She thought she could control her emotions very well, but at this moment she realized that he had already taken up a large place in her life without her even realizing it.
Han Xi's gaze fell on the computer screen, concealing her emotions.
Through the light reflected from the computer screen, you can see Shen Jiheng writing text, but it's unclear who he's inviting.
A man as powerful and handsome as him, no one could refuse an invitation from him.
But soon Shen Jiheng put his phone back on the table and picked up the folder again to start looking at it.
Han Xi coughed and asked, "What are you doing? I didn't ask you to continue handling my company's affairs."
Shen Jiheng sat directly on his desk and said casually, "I was worried that some people would be angry, so I sent messages to those who offered to be my date."
Han Xi was secretly pleased, but pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I didn't ask you about that."
Shen Jiheng looked at her and smiled, "But I want to tell you that I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."
Han Xi vehemently denied it: "You're overthinking it. I don't care about these things."
Shen Jiheng smiled indulgently; even after all these years, she was still as stubborn as ever.
Even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter; Shen Jiheng can sense it.
While he was writing the message, he deliberately stole glances at Han Xi's expression and saw that she looked distracted and was clearly anxious.
"Then let's assume I'm overthinking it. Let's finish processing all the files together."
"Are you doing all this so I can go to the ball?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head: "No, it's up to you whether you participate or not. I just don't want you to be too tired. If you finish your work early, you won't have to work overtime and you can go home earlier."
After speaking, Shen Jiheng picked up the document and examined it carefully, while Han Xi seemed somewhat lost in thought.
The two are getting closer and closer. Even though she hasn't admitted to being back together, it's obvious to outsiders that they're already together.
She initially avoided the topic, but now she seems to have accepted it.
If this continues, then they will...
"What are you daydreaming about? There's a ton of documents to process."
Shen Jiheng's sudden words interrupted Han Xi's thoughts. When she looked up, their eyes met, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Han Xi jumped up and stammered, "I... I just remembered I forgot to bring some documents. You take a look first, I'll go find Peng Ling."
Shen Jiheng grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"There's a phone right in front of you. Just call and have her bring whatever you need. You don't need to go there yourself."
Han Xi shook her head: "No, there are some things I'm not quite sure about myself. I'll go look for them. If you're busy, go back first. I might not be back for a while."
After saying that, she pulled away from Shen Jiheng's hand and ran out. She was having some difficulty facing Shen Jiheng right now.
Shen Jiheng stared at her rabbit-like back and smiled helplessly. She was brave in everything, but when it came to love, she would only back down.
However, Shen Jiheng has plenty of time and energy, and he will definitely not let Han Xi escape from his grasp again.
As soon as Han Xi entered the assistant's office, she heard an argument coming from inside. Curious, she went over and saw a young woman arguing with Peng Ling.
“This is unfair treatment. I want to see President Han so that she can understand all the circumstances before making a decision.”
"Ms. Tang, I've already told you, your decision to stay or leave is up to the R&D manager, not something I can control."
"But weren't the two people he hired his alumni? There must be something fishy going on here. I want to expose this evil deed and get to see your CEO."
Peng Ling didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she picked up the phone to call the security team, but Han Xi stopped her in time.
"Assistant Peng, what's going on?"
Peng Ling was slightly taken aback when she saw her, and the other woman immediately turned around and was full of surprise when she saw Han Xi.
Han Xi walked in under their gazes, smiling as she asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Peng Ling explained, "President Han, this young lady came for an interview for a research and development position yesterday. The department head felt she lacked experience, so he didn't hire her. She somehow got the information that the person who stayed was the department head's alumnus."
Han Xi entrusted the recruitment of R&D engineers to their department to handle entirely. She didn't understand the overly technical aspects of the job, but she never expected things to turn out this way.
Han Xi noticed that the woman was still staring at him and smiled curiously.
“Miss, it seems you have a lot of complaints about our company. I am the president of this company. You can give me your feedback directly.”
The woman walked up to Han Xi, excitedly grabbed her hand, and asked, "Sister, is it really you? Don't you remember me?"
Han Xi was completely bewildered and withdrew her hand. She didn't remember knowing the young woman in front of her.
"Are you sure you've got the right person? I don't know you."
"It's you, sister. Do you remember the female college student who was being scammed four years ago? A couple was trying to cheat me out of money, and you were the one who stepped in and helped me resolve the situation."
Han Xi frowned, and it seemed that she vaguely remembered what she was talking about.
"My name is Tang Yi. Think carefully, do you remember me? I was in a hurry to take the exam at that time, and I didn't have time to thank you before I left," Tang Yi excitedly reminded her.
Han Xi remembered that four years ago she did help a female student, but she was retaliated against by that couple. Fortunately, Bo Siye appeared and saved her.
"Now that you mention it, I remember you, but I had forgotten your name."
Tang Yi took her hand again and said, "But I've always remembered you. I was too busy to look for you during that time. When I finally had some free time and went to the Han family, they said you had already gone abroad."
Thinking back to that period, which was the most difficult time for Han Xi, she never expected that there was someone who cared about her and was still looking for her.
No wonder she saw my expression just now; come to think of it, it really is an old acquaintance.
"I had already gone abroad at that time, I never expected to meet you here."
"What a coincidence! And you're the president of Han Shu Group. To repay you, I have something important to tell you."
Han Xi could tell there was something to it in her words, so she nodded and said, "Then come with me to the lounge and we'll talk slowly."
Peng Ling followed behind her and whispered, "President Han, the department head makes all the decisions in the R&D department. He said that Ms. Tang lacks experience, and there's another reason..."
She whispered the last sentence in Han Xi's ear, so that Tang Yi wouldn't hear it.
Han Xi nodded without changing her expression, but Tang Yi had a faint smile on her face and a firm look in her eyes, as if she understood what they were talking about.
Han Xi led her to the lounge, and Tang Yi spoke as soon as they sat down.
"Sister... no, I should call you President Han. Did your assistant just tell you that I was fired from my previous company for stealing cosmetic formulas?"
