Chapter 60 The Story of the Tea Room
Jiang Ci had the girl in his arms firmly under his control, releasing her just as she was about to lose her temper. He then tucked a stray hair behind her ear and offered a serious comment.
"You're too thin, eat more in the future."
Shen Xi: ...Try turning the tables on me now.
Jiang Ci sat leisurely on the sofa, looking at her son across from her, who was furious like a pufferfish, and was in an unexpectedly good mood.
He gently patted the seat next to him, a faint smile in his eyes, and looked at Shen Xi, "Come and sit down."
Shen Xi ignored him, instead standing with her arms crossed, glancing at him, "I don't deserve to sit in this seat."
Jiang Ci blinked, confused. What's wrong?
Shen Xi smiled and said, "I'm not worthy to sit there, after all, I was there when I picked up the divorce papers and left."
Jiang Ci's smile froze. "Don't stoop to the level of someone who wasn't thinking straight back then."
"..."
Shen Xi found Jiang Ci to be a very interesting person. When she first met him, he was cold and aloof, and always seemed to be in control. He was sharp and indifferent, and when he looked at you, it was as if he were looking at an ant.
Now, looking back, I sometimes think he's childish, and sometimes he backs down and acts cute, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
Shen Xi ignored him and went to sit down next to her son, watching him purse his lips and seriously pick up a paintbrush and start drawing.
She looked up and saw a little person hitting a sandbag, the sand from the sandbag scattering all over the ground.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Did the little boy want to learn boxing?
The child was gritting his teeth and poking and prodding.
the next day,
The time for Shen Xi and Jiang Ci to start work has arrived.
Shen Xi squinted at the not-so-bright sun outside, then turned to look at the man in a suit behind her.
"That exorbitant debt was owed by another 'Shen Xi,' so why should I work for you?"
The man was dressed in a gray suit, with cold, hard features, and his dark pupils gave off a faint sense of pressure when he looked at people.
Shen Xi: ...Damn this workplace suit buff.
She was even a little afraid to look him in the eye.
Jiang Ci was thinking to himself: I really need to come up with a different reason to trick her.
He hesitated before speaking, "Xu Zhu's wife is currently pregnant. If you go, how about I pay you twice his salary?"
How much does Assistant Xu earn in a month?
"He's the general assistant, earning 300,000 a month. Your salary can be directly deposited into my account."
Shen Xi nodded numbly. So that's how high the salary is for the CEO's assistant. No wonder in novels, the assistant has to do even small things like buying condoms while the protagonist is sleeping at night.
She agreed; with such a high salary, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to money!
As they left, Xiao Jiangdu ran out to see his mother off. The little guy pulled his mother aside, away from the tall man next to her, and whispered in Shen Xi's ear, "Mom, I also have a lot of money, more than Dad. Don't go with him, stay with me, okay?"
Shen Xi was both amused and exasperated. "Silly son."
She went over and kissed his fair and tender little face. "Keep your card, Xiaoman. Mommy has other things to do there."
The child was very disappointed, but still looked up as he saw his mother off, without even glancing at his elderly father.
Watching the Rolls-Royce speed away
Little Man clenched his fists, his chubby little face pouting; he was determined to go back and continue drawing his beanbag!
Beside the flowerbed, Butler Li absentmindedly arranged flowers.
The young master has been behaving like a normal four or five-year-old lately.
pretty good.
……
As usual, Li Zhu squatted in the corner of the tea room, munching on a pancake and listening to his colleagues whispering among themselves.
He chewed dryly, his ears perked up. Strange, how did these people know that the finance minister went on a date in that remote corner of the south of the city yesterday?
"Don't you know? I feel like although President Jiang still has that cold face lately, when I went to report on my work yesterday and accidentally stuttered a little, he didn't look at me with those eyes that look like I'm trash!!"
"The most crucial thing is this!! He was quite kind and told me to go back and check the data again. My goodness, when did the whole company receive such treatment? I was so scared that I ran back and checked the data again, only to find that there was an extra zero."
"My boss has become kinder, he really has, I'm so happy I could cry."
Assistant Li, who was squatting in the corner, nodded in agreement. That was indeed the case these past two days.
The boss even told him in a warm and friendly manner that he should remember that Xu Zhu had taken his wife on leave to prepare for childbirth.
But! ! !
Here's the problem: Xu Zhu is also single, just like him!
Where did this wife come from?!
But the boss's gaze was too certain, so he wisely shut up.
Li Zhu glanced at his watch; it was almost eight o'clock. He quickly finished his pancake and, as usual, slowly stood up, his legs trembling.
He stood there for a while until his legs stopped going numb, then pushed the door open and went inside.
In an instant, the tea room fell silent.
"Good morning, Assistant Li."
"Good morning, Assistant Li."
"Yes, hello." He nodded calmly, walked to the coffee shop, made a cup of coffee, and went out.
The next second after he went outside, he stretched his sore legs.
A meaningful sentence suddenly came from the break room.
"You guys are saying that President Jiang and Assistant Li... um?"
Startled, Assistant Li outside the door turned and ran away.
Oh my god, he'll never listen to gossip in the mornings again.
……
This morning was the busiest morning at the Jiang Group. Usually, a group of tired office workers were like wolves this morning, their eyes shining as they typed furiously on the keyboards at lightning speed.
Shen Xi followed Jiang Ci in and saw this scene. She looked at this group of outstanding talents with admiration. Is this the working atmosphere of a Fortune 500 company?
She needs to study more in the future.
Everyone was focused on their computers, paying no attention to her, a complete stranger.
Little did they know, the elites were practically spitting fire from their keyboards.
Jiang Ci led her into the elevator and all the way to the top floor.
He pushed open the door and pointed to the bright pink office chair that took up half of his office space.
"My assistant works here."
Shen Xi stared at the deathly pink and fell silent.
Is she some kind of stupid person?
What kind of male CEO assistant would work at such a pink desk?!
And such an ugly straight male fan!!
She glanced up at the overall layout of the CEO's office; the entire space was dominated by calm and understated black and gray, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing the tall tower.
"Isn't the color nice?" Jiang Ci took off his suit jacket and casually draped it over the stool.
Shen Xi hesitated for a moment, avoiding his question, "What specific work am I supposed to do here?"
“Here, I am the assistant’s direct superior. You don’t need to listen to anyone else except me.”
"Just come here today to get familiar with the environment. If you're bored, you're allowed to play on your phone while on paid leave."
Shen Xi: ...Is it really that outrageous?
