Tong Yan was dumbfounded. He looked from that woman to their president, feeling like he had just taken a blow to the head.
“Tong Yan.” The sound of fingers tapping the table startled him and brought him back to reality. He replied in a hurry, “Yes!”
“I’ve called your name three times. Where did your mind wander off to…” Sheng Yize said in resignation. “I’ve signed it. There you go.”
Wow, that went so well!
Their president had a habit of offering sarcastic comments with an icy tone and took pleasure in shattering other people’s confidence. Why was he so nice today?
“Yes.” Tong Yan took the file and left the office, still finding what had just happened unbelievable.
Who on earth was that woman? Their president’s wife? Girlfriend? Or something else?
He couldn’t help but ask the special assistant curiously, “Mr. Jiang, what’s the relationship between that woman and our president?”
Jiang was baffled. “Huh, don’t you ever watch the news?”
Tong Yan was at a loss. “What does watching the news have anything to do with that?”
Jiang grinned. “It doesn’t. Take a wild guess who she is, then.”
“Is their relationship aboveboard or a secretive one?” Tong Yan asked seriously.
The corner of Jiang’s mouth twitched and he decided to hoax Tong Yan. “It’s quite secretive.”
Tong Yan looked thoroughly disgusted. “Gosh! I never knew our president was this type of man! Not only is he into the vulnerable type, he won’t even recognize her officially!”
Fighting back his laughter, Jiang feigned a secretive voice and said, “I’ll let you in on another secret. That woman is already a mother of two kids.”
Tong Yan pounded his chest and stomped his foot, feeling genuinely sorry for An Xiaxia.
–
That afternoon, when Sheng Yize went to the reception room to discuss a project, Tong Yan went to his office to deliver some files. Seeing that An Xiaxia was alone in the room, he summoned up his courage and talked to her. “Hello.”
“Oh, hi.” An Xiaxia greeted him immediately.
After much hesitation, Tong Yan said, “It’s not right for you to be with Mr. Sheng like this!”
An Xiaxia was taken aback by those words. “Huh? I – I’m sorry…”
She thought that Tong Yan was referring to her attitude — while everyone else was busy with their tasks, she was practically on vacation.
Tong Yan sighed. “Good, you can see that this isn’t right. The sooner you wake up, the more likely you’ll find happiness!”
“Yes! I see that now!” An Xiaxia nodded repeatedly. She decided to keep herself busy, instead of sitting there snacking and playing games.
They had no idea that they were talking about two completely different things. Once Tong Yan was gone, An Xiaxia rested her chin on her hand, racking her brain to try and find a way to help Sheng Yize.
Sheng Yize had left his phone on the table, which buzzed at that moment.
Was someone trying to reach him?
An Xiaxia picked it up, typed in the password, which was her birthday, and saw that it was a friend request on WeChat.
“Mr. Sheng, this is Miya from Xinyue Group!”
An Xiaxia had heard about this woman before. She was the president of Xinyue Group, a very tough gal and a lofty beauty.
An Xiaxia accepted the request and Miya soon sent a message.
“Mr. Sheng, have you made up your mind yet?”
Wait? Made up his mind on what? A collaboration?
An Xiaxia had yet to figure out how to reply when Miya typed another message. “You know perfectly well that this is the best choice for both of us.”
“I’m sorry, but he’s not available at the moment. I’ll tell him to get back to you later,” An Xiaxia replied. But her connection happened to drop out at that moment, which didn’t recover until two minutes later.
Her reply was only sent out then, but before that, Miya sent another message.
“Come to Yuan Hotel tonight. You can have me, and the project.”
