Su Chen suddenly became very serious, which made Lin Xi look at him in a new light.
"Mr. Su, I didn't see it coming, you're quite loyal, huh?" Lin Xi said with a sideways glance.
"Cough cough, although I may not look like much, my wife, I still understand the basic principles of being a decent person," Su Chen chuckled.
Lin Xi, however, huffed lightly, as if to say if she hadn't known him before, she would have probably been fooled by now.
Hanging out at night clubs and bars every day, and still asking girls out, do you think I, the President, am not aware of it?
This bastard, caring so much about his job, it's probably not just about the work.
Immediately, she narrowed her pretty big eyes and said, "I remember your boss is a woman, right?"
Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, Su Chen knew he was in for it.
But he had already bragged in front of Lin Xi before, saying that his boss was both beautiful and nice, and now it's too late to take it back.
He could only cough and say, "Yes..."
Lin Xi continued to ask, "Is she very beautiful?"
"Yeah, she's alright, not particularly beautiful, just average..." Claiming the boss was beautiful last time was just to tease Lin Xi, and to say she's beautiful now would mean he's got his head stuck in a door.
"Especially capable?" Lin Xi continued.
Su Chen had no choice but to nod.
After all, Yimena is a listed company, and for a woman to have grown a company to that extent, she really can be considered capable.
"If she's both beautiful and capable, don't you have any thoughts about her?"
"I don't really have thoughts about her, but my dear wife, let me tell you a secret about our boss," Su Chen suddenly became mysterious.
"Our boss might have some quirks."
"Ah!" Lin Xi's eyes widened.
"How do you know other people have, uh... quirks..." Lin Xi was somewhat embarrassed to say that word.
"Hehe, how I know, you see, I've only been in the company for a couple of days, and she already wanted me to attend an event with her, she must be into me, right? Even going after her own male employees, isn't that a quirk? But don't worry, my wife, you know me, I can't be bent by force, nor corrupted by wealth, even if she's beautiful and rich, I won't fall." He said this with an air of righteous indignation.
Completely forgetting the time when he wasn't working, and he shamelessly asked Lin Xi for money.
And talking about not being corrupted by wealth.
She probably doesn't even fancy him, right?
Lin Xi thought with contempt.
"Fine, you go ask for leave yourself," Lin Xi didn't want to argue with Su Chen.
Otherwise, this guy's mouth could blow the ceiling down.
"What if I can't get the leave?"
"If you can't, then quit," Lin Xi said, blinking her beautiful big eyes.
Su Chen's face twitched, and he said miserably, "Wife, you can't be so unreasonable, do you know how hard it is for me to find a job?"
"What if I am unreasonable? You can go talk reason with your female boss, maybe she's very reasonable and agrees to let you take a leave?" Lin Xi said with a smile.
"I say, wife, your company has so many talents, why do you have to make me go?" Su Chen felt somewhat bothered.
Lin Xi smiled faintly and said, "You're okay with me going on a business trip with other men? If you don't mind, then I'll just let one of the company's male employees go with me."
"Why can't it be a female employee?"
"I have so much luggage, how could a female employee carry it?" Lin Xi said with an expression of helplessness.
"Fine, I'll go ask for leave!" Lin Xi had spoken, how could Su Chen not go?
Meowing heck, isn't it just asking for leave? With my silver tongue, can't I handle a female boss?
Originally, Su Chen said he would use his irresistible charm to deal with the female boss, and there was nothing inappropriate about that.
But when he said this, he actually stuck his tongue out.
And gave it a little flick.
Although Lin Xi is quite naive, it's not like we're in ancient times; she couldn't possibly be clueless about everything.
"Wife, what's with that look in your eyes? What I mean is, I'm going to use my eloquence to persuade her! Convince her to give me leave!" Su Chen, of course, understood the meaning behind Lin Xi's gaze.
Su Chen would have been better off not explaining at all because his explanation only made it easier to be misunderstood.
"Did I, did I say something else?" Lin Xi's cheeks were somewhat flushed.
"Cough cough, wife, why are you blushing?" Su Chen naturally noticed the change in Lin Xi's complexion and said with a cheeky smile.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Xi blush.
"I-I'm not blushing, I'm just, I'm too hot!" Lin Xi naturally couldn't admit it.
Seeing this, Qiu Jinghan nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Xi's willingness to bring Su Chen along on the business trip showed that she was gradually starting to accept him.
In fact, Su Chen is truly a good person, and she believed that the longer Lin Xi knew him, the more she would recognize his good qualities.
Sooner or later, the two would end up together.
Qiu Jinghan was genuinely happy.
All along, she had been worried about Lin Xi, concerned that Lin Xi wouldn't find a good man worthy of her.
Now, she could finally rest assured.
But why was there a faint feeling of loss in her heart...
In an ancient-style tea garden, two stunning beauties were sitting.
One was dressed in a classical gown, the other in a leather outfit.
Both were exceedingly beautiful.
The classical-gown lady had black hair like a waterfall, wearing a red hairpin and a pair of pearl earrings.
Her figure was graceful, ethereal as a fairy.
Especially her hands, delicate like lotus roots, snow-white.
The leather-clad woman, on the other hand, had a modern vibe about her.
Her leather jacket and pants wrapped around an impressive figure, displaying perfect curves.
The leather-clad woman was none other than Dong Kuizi, who had been acupunctured by Su Chen and then dumped in front of an old beggar.
And the classical-gown lady was also one of the four herbs, Mu Huanzi.
"Wuwu, Sister Mu Huanzi, you must avenge me!" Dong Kuizi threw herself into the arms of the classical-gown lady, crying bitterly.
"There there, who could it be that's so capable of bullying our infamous Ice Beauty, Dong Kuizi, to this state?" The classical-gown lady stroked the leather-clad woman's hair and asked gently.
"It's that bastard, Su Chen, the target Aunty Hong told me to assassinate. I won't let him go, he actually... wuwu..." Before Dong Kuizi could finish her sentence, she burst into even louder sobs.
Dong Kuizi hated policemen the most in her life, yet, ironically, it was a passing patrol officer who ended up saving her, sparing her from disaster.
Yet, even though she had escaped the fate of being bullied, she was determined to seek revenge.
What if there hadn't been that police officer?
Mu Huanzi frowned slightly and said: "It seems we've underestimated that guy; if even you are no match for him, I might not be confident in subduing him either. How about we wait a while? Cheqianzi and Fulingzi will both return to Jiangdu soon. Once the four of us sisters join forces, I refuse to believe we can't handle one man!"
