Shangguan Ting’er frowned unhappily at Xi Tian’s words and actions. Why would a butler be so nosy? She would definitely get rid of Xi Tian when she’s Xi Chenxiao’s wife. But, she kept a smile on her face as she said,
“Xi Tian, long time no see.”
Xi Tian nodded expressionlessly. He didn’t think much of Shangguan Ting’er. He turned his head and looked at Xi Shi warningly as he said,
“Xi Shi, you’d better explain this, or I won’t let you bring a woman into the chairman’s office.”
Xi Shi straightened up when he heard this. Was Xi Tian out of his mind? Didn’t he know that Shangguan Ting’er was the future mistress of the Xi Family? It wouldn’t do him any good if he offended her. Xi Shi explained,
“Xi Tian, old Master Xi sent Miss Shangguan Ting’er here to be the chairman’s personal secretary, not to disturb the chairman at work. Don’t misunderstand.”
Xi Tian was stunned when he heard this. He then looked at Shangguan Ting’er in surprise. Had the old Master Xi gone mad? Didn’t he know the chairman’s temper? He still couldn’t believe it and continued to block their way.
“To be the chairman’s personal secretary? Forget it, the chairman won’t agree to it at all!”
Speaking of personal secretaries, he, Xi Tian, was the chairman’s butler, bodyguard, and personal secretary. Was Shangguan Ting’er sent here to steal his job? Xi Shi replied confidently to Xi Tian,
“The chairman might not agree if it were any other secretary, not Shangguan Ting’er. She is the chairman’s childhood sweetheart and they will be husband and wife in future. The chairman will agree to this.”
Xi Tian frowned when he heard this. What on earth was wrong with Xi Shi? How could he say things that might cost him his life if the chairman found out? He looked at Xi Shi coldly and warned,
“Don’t talk nonsense, Xi Shi. The chairman already has a wife. You had better watch your words.”
Xi Shi almost laughed when he heard this. Now that Miss Shangguan had returned, how could that mute continue being the chairman’s wife? The chairman wouldn’t want that good-for-nothing anymore. He replied confidently,
“Don’t joke around, Xi Tian. How is that good-for-nothing mute worthy of our chairman? The chairman will divorce her eventually.”
Xi Tian frowned. He then remembered that Xi Shi wasn’t with them when they went on the business trip overseas. He hadn’t seen Su Jin at the banquet, how she had stunned everyone there. She was amazing and could do anything. Xi Tian defended quickly,
“Madam is not useless, Madam…”
Before he could finish, a cold voice cut in. Xi Chenxiao had heard the voices outside his door long ago and knew that his grandfather had sent Shangguan. He wasn’t going to compromise, so he said coldly,
“Xi Tian, you go and do your thing first. Xi Shi, wherever Shangguan Ting’er came from, send her back there. I don’t need any female secretary.”
When Xi Tian heard this, he left unworriedly to do what he had to do. He knew that the chairman would not abandon Madam. Xi Shi and Shangguan Ting’er looked at each other speechlessly before Xi Shi walked into the chairman’s office and said respectfully,
“Chairman, Miss Shangguan… It was old Master Xi who arranged this. I…”
Xi Chenxiao interrupted him before he could finish,
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Send Miss Shangguan back.”
Xi Chenxiao eyed Xi Shi coldly, annoyed that he had been so emboldened that he came in here and argued. Xi Shi was becoming more daring by the day.
When Shangguan Ting’er heard this, she could no longer quietly wait outside. She had to seize this opportunity. How else would she get close to Xi Chenxiao? She walked into the chairman’s office and said coquettishly to Xi Chenxiao,
“Brother Xiao, we grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. How could you be so heartless to me now that I came here to work?”
Xi Chenxiao looked at Shangguan Ting’er and frowned. He wanted to chase her away, but it might be a little troublesome since she was sent here by Grandpa Xi. However, he did not want to see her anymore, so he replied coldly,
“Forget it. If you only came here to work, you can pick any position other than the chairman’s personal secretary.”
