"President Shi, I don’t mean to pry into your private matters, but... I hope this time you’ll succeed and not end up like before... excited then defeated..."
Xiao Zhao almost forced himself to say the last few words, his head hanging down, not daring to look at Shi Che.
A dark light surged in Shi Che’s deep black eyes, cold and sharp, falling onto Xiao Zhao. He hadn’t even made his move yet, and here he was saying such things. Wasn’t that cursing him? The source of this content ɪs novel⚑fire.net
Xiao Zhao felt as though he was being pierced by Shi Che’s gaze, and inwardly cursed himself for his inability to lie, not daring to say another word. He hastily added, "President Shi, please, pretend I didn’t say anything. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now. I wish you and Miss Chuxia a successful reconciliation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao hurriedly turned around and tried to make his escape, but the deep voice halted him right at the door with two succinct words, "Come back!"
Xiao Zhao’s steps halted dramatically. Without uttering another word, he quickly stood in front of the desk, his brows furrowed and eyes downcast, exceedingly respectful, "President Shi, is there anything else you need?"
Shi Che looked up at him, then nodded his chin toward the sofa nearby. His words were just as straightforward, "Sit."
A bit uneasy yet flattered, Xiao Zhao walked towards the sofa, cautiously stealing glances at Shi Che, and slowly sat down.
Shi Che’s chair turned towards Xiao Zhao, facing him directly.
Actually, under normal circumstances, he would never discuss his relationship with Chuxia, especially with Xiao Zhao being his subordinate. He had his pride and dignity as a boss, but still...
Although he was unwilling to give up and wanted to win Chuxia back, he really had no idea how to go about it.
After all, from a young age, he had always been chased by other women, even with Chuxia... he had married her directly, never having to pursue anyone. So... he simply did not know how to pursue a woman.
Embarrassing as it might sound, losing face was still better than not knowing how to win Chuxia back, right?
Shi Che looked at Xiao Zhao, his expression in his black eyes struggling slightly, he coughed lightly a few times, but eventually, he spoke.
However, Shi Che was concise, summarizing everything in just a few sentences which, had Xiao Zhao not been with him for so long, he would have had difficulty understanding all his brief words.
After listening, Xiao Zhao nodded and summarized, "So, President Shi, what you mean is, you confessed your feelings subtly to Miss Chuxia, but she didn’t react at all, even brought her new boyfriend to show off, and said she hopes never to see you again, to become strangers?"
Xiao Zhao, saying this, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at how bold Miss Chuxia had become. Incredible.
But before Xiao Zhao could finish speaking, Shi Che’s handsome face had completely darkened, his voice cold and barely masking his anger, "Nobody asked you to repeat it!"
Xiao Zhao’s voice became hoarse as he coughed loudly, quickly swallowing all the words he was about to say again.
Shi Che took a deep breath, gave Xiao Zhao a look, then a second look after struggling some more, and slowly spoke again, "What’s the solution?" His tone seemed relaxed, yet it was tinged with an unnoticeable expectation.
Xiao Zhao had never seen Shi Che before, wanted to laugh, but didn’t dare to.
