Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "So do you have the courage now?"
"Yes." Xia Xiaowei nodded and said, "Because when I saw you talking to those people just now, you looked a bit impatient. I was thinking that maybe your personality is like mine, also not suited for, or rather, not liking this kind of thing, so you would have the same expression. It's because of this that I had the motivation to come over and chat."
Listening to the girl in front of him say this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask awkwardly, "Was my impatience really that obvious just now?"
To be honest, he thought he did a good job concealing his feelings, but he was easily seen through by the girl in front of him. Did his true feelings show so clearly? This was definitely a bit troubling.
"I don't think they noticed. It's because I observed carefully that I found out." Xia Xiaowei shook her head and said.
"I see... But, to be able to perceive my true thoughts so accurately, you're quite impressive. What's your name?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking at the girl in front of him.
"My name is Xia Xiaowei." Xia Xiaowei giggled and said. "Xia Xiaowei, hmm, I'll remember it." Jiang Cheng nodded and then asked, "Would you like me to give you an autograph or take a photo with you?"
"Can I?" The girl Xia Xiaowei's eyes lit up with surprise as she said, "Of course, I'd love that."
Jiang Cheng then gave this high-quality fan, Xia Xiaowei, an autograph and took a photo with her.
Getting an autograph and a photo with Jiang Cheng made Xia Xiaowei extremely happy, almost to the point of being overjoyed!
Xia Xiaowei's smile was unreserved, completely showing her happiness — Xia Xiaowei was already a very beautiful girl, and with that smile,
she appeared even more charming and attractive. Even Jiang Cheng was momentarily taken aback.
Not far away, the young talents who came here with the big figures were taken aback when they saw Xia Xiaowei's smile in the distance, unable to help but sigh — although Xia Xiaowei's beauty moved their hearts deeply, having such a girl as a girlfriend would satisfy them even without partying every day!
However, clearly, Xia Xiaowei's thoughts weren't on them at all; all her attention was focused on Jiang Cheng. Read full story at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
And Jiang Cheng... was someone they couldn't afford to provoke. This young man, even younger than them, had achievements and status that not even their fathers could compare to!
They weren't on the same level at all. All this time, it had been their fathers and even their grandfathers' generation that chatted and laughed with Jiang Cheng. They didn't even have the qualification to speak with Jiang Cheng.
Of course, if they tried, they might also be able to chat and laugh with Jiang Cheng just like Xia Xiaowei was doing, but they obviously didn't have that kind of courage. Jiang Cheng's legend was too dazzling for them to face directly, let alone approach and start a conversation.
They couldn't even think about it. Honestly, Xia Xiaowei daring to approach and talk caught these talented young men by surprise.
After giving the autograph and taking a photo, Jiang Cheng continued to chat with the girl for a while about inconsequential topics. In fact, he didn't care much about what they talked about; rather than wasting time chatting with those middle-aged men, it was better to spend time with a pretty girl like her. After all, she was indeed pleasing to the eye.
Even if there wasn't any ulterior motive to act on, looking was still enjoyable. However, Jiang Cheng wasn't the kind of person who could do anything without drawing attention anymore. Anything he did would be deliberately scrutinized and magnified.
Just like now, although it was just a casual chat with the girl at a banquet, somehow it quickly spread that Xia Xiaowei was Jiang Cheng's new darling.
Jiang Cheng felt quite helpless about this — however, he didn't have much time to argue with others, explaining that he and Xia Xiaowei were just casual acquaintances chatting randomly. The more you explain such things, the more suspicious it seems, so rather than wasting time on it, it's better to do something else.
Of course, what Xia Xiaowei thought about such rumors, whether she was happy or troubled, was none of Jiang Cheng's business.
The celebration naturally ended on a high note — after wrapping up the celebration, Jiang Cheng returned to the company and listened to Zhang Manlin's report on some company matters, various important issues, the upcoming development direction and targets, progress, etc.
Even though Jiang Cheng rarely managed the company affairs personally, acting like a hands-off manager and entrusting everything to Zhang Manlin, it didn't mean he was entirely uninvolved — after all, Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company was a crucial part of his plan. If he didn't know what the company was doing, what the plans were, the directions they were heading, and how they intended to proceed, that would be very irresponsible.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng also had to handle some important matters that even Zhang Manlin couldn't decide on. —
While listening to Zhang Manlin's report, something suddenly occurred to Jiang Cheng — after the report was finished, he said, "Help me find a secretary."
"Huh?" Zhang Manlin was taken aback by Jiang Cheng's words, not immediately processing it — "You want a secretary?" "Yes, I do." Jiang Cheng nodded.
Zhang Manlin then realized Jiang Cheng was serious and not joking.
"Alright, I'll take care of the selection for you, and I'll initiate a secretary recruitment — I'm sure many people will apply. After I initially screen the candidates, I'll have you conduct the interviews?" Zhang Manlin thought for a moment and said.
"Sure, I'll leave it to you." Jiang Cheng nonchalantly nodded — having a secretary to organize company affairs, tasks to be dealt with, and personal planning was somewhat necessary. Even though Lucy could help with these things, being the chairman of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, his status had changed completely, and having no secretary seemed rather unconventional.
In fact, Jiang Cheng had the idea of hiring a secretary long ago, but he was so busy at the time that he forgot and didn't bring it up again until it suddenly came to mind just now, so he mentioned it.
Speaking of work efficiency, Zhang Manlin truly surprised Jiang Cheng — on the same day, Zhang Manlin issued orders from various sides for the recruitment of Jiang Cheng's secretary, conducted screenings from over seven thousand applicants, and after rigorous selection, only one remained. By the same evening, this person was asked to come to the company for an interview.
