"There's no rush to pay back the money." Xi Heming opened his hands: "Do you think I'm in need of the 50 million?"
"Yes, yes, you don't look like him." Jiang Wanwan was afraid that he would continue to talk about his narcissism, so she quickly apologized: "I look like him. Not only do I look like him, I am still the one who is short of 50 million."
"So you really don't have to rush to pay back the money." Xi Heming looked at Jiang Wanwan and carefully considered his words: "At first we were unfamiliar with each other and disliked each other, so you wanted to pay me back the money as soon as possible. But now after this period It's quite pleasant to spend time together, isn't it? It's better to invest the money you earn in the development of the company. If you rush to pay it back to me, it will be unfair to your hard-working employees."
Jiang Wanwan narrowed her eyes in confusion: "We are getting along quite happily? Brother, I have to say that your definition of happiness is really different from that of ordinary people? We quarrel every day and are like sparks colliding with the earth when we meet. , you call it pleasant?”
Xi Heming coughed twice guiltily, and said stiffly: "How did we become friends if we weren't happy?"
Jiang Wanwan looked at Xi Heming without words. To be honest, she didn't know that she and Xi Heming had such a good relationship before today. It was a bit inexplicable that this friend was given the title.
But seeing Xi Heming being so insistent, Jiang Wanwan felt that there was really no need to argue with him. Their work and life were so closely intertwined that it was much more comfortable to be friends than enemies.
"Yes, yes, you are right, we are good friends."
Seeing Jiang Wanwan admitting his identity as a friend, Xi Heming showed a successful smile on his face. Becoming friends is the first step to improve their relationship. After Jiang Wanwan adapts to his identity as a friend, he will have the opportunity to go further.
So witty, yeah!
****
Jiang Wanwan finished the finishing work and left the office with Xi Heming. Chen Min from the secretary's office stood up immediately when he heard the voice, with a professional smile on his face: "Mr. Xi, Mr. Jiang."
Xi Heming's steps slowed down a little, and he explained simply and clearly: "I have to go out for personal matters and will not return to the office today."
"Okay, Mr. Xi." Chen Min sent the two of them to the elevator. When she returned to the office area, she found that the secretary's room was mostly empty. She paused and turned around to go to the tea lounge. She heard several secretaries in the office area. Whispering: "Do you feel that Mr. Xi and Mr. Jiang are very close?"
"It seems so, but isn't Mr. Xi already married?"
"You guys are thinking too much. Our boss, Xi, is a workaholic. When have we ever been interested in women?"
"But Mr. Xi is really special to Mr. Jiang. He invited Mr. Jiang here half an hour after we got off the plane. I feel a little closer."
"You guys have been talking for a long time without even seeing the important point. Didn't you realize that the necklace Mr. Jiang was wearing when he came out just now is not the same one he was wearing when he came in?" A secretary blinked and lowered his voice and said, "That necklace is The top luxury brand XXX has just launched a new limited edition model this week. There are only five of them in the world and they are only sold in country X."
Country I really like strong women like her, but now..."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Chen Min interrupted their chat with a slap in the face, and reminded him seriously: "Everyone has worked in Xi's Group for several years, and we all know Mr. Xi's temper and character. He I don’t like employees having a personal relationship with him, and I don’t like employees discussing his personal affairs like a bastard. If your conversation just now was overheard by Mr. Xi, do you think you can still work at Xi’s?”
The secretaries were all silent, no one dared to say a word.
Chen Min looked around: "I know you have better colleagues in various departments, but you must remember that Mr. Xi's personal affairs should be discussed less with other people. When asked by other departments, just reply with three words: I don't know. Again. If I hear you discussing the relationship between Mr. Xi and Mr. Jiang in private, I will take you directly to Mr. Xi's office and let you have a good discussion with him and ask him clearly."
Before Chen Min became a supervisor, she had always been a good person. She didn't talk much and didn't get involved in anything. She had a relatively low sense of presence in the secretary's office, so after she was promoted to supervisor, other secretaries looked down upon her. They all felt that she had the advantage of being older and married.
But today, Chen Min's aura was in full swing. Both his words and tone showed his majesty as a department manager. This made these secretaries realize that they had underestimated Chen Min before.
"Our floor not only has a secretary's office, but also a special assistant's office. If you want to be relied upon by the president, you should focus more on your work and don't put your mind on other places." Chen Min paused and added : "I don't want to hear anyone in the secretary's office discussing Mr. Xi's private life in the future. Do you hear me clearly?"
The secretaries all nodded and said, "Listen clearly."
Chen Min glanced at them and went out without saying anything more. The remaining secretaries in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other, speechless.
"I really underestimated Chen Min before." A secretary muttered, scooped up a large piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, looking aggrieved.
"Okay, stop talking." A colleague next to her gently touched her with his arm: "Chen Min is right. Xi always didn't notice our secretary's office. Once he knows that we are gossiping behind our back, I'm afraid We all have to get out."
The secretaries thought about their current salaries and benefits. They all stopped one by one. They turned around and took their favorite fruit cakes and drinks. They quickly changed the topic to movies and TV dramas, as if they had never discussed Mr. Xi just now. Same as private life.
***
Xi Heming drove Jiang Wanwan to a high-end shopping mall in this city. Both of them were tall and handsome, and they attracted the attention of many passers-by as soon as they entered.
Jiang Wanwan didn't pay attention to these curious glances, but Xi Heming could not help but straighten his face, and his whole body exuded the aura of keeping strangers away.
Jiang Wanwan looked at the dazzling array of products and asked worriedly: "What do you usually buy for your old man?"
Xi Heming also had a headache. In the past, he would arrange for an assistant, secretary or driver to prepare gifts for the old man. He had never worried about this. Inviting Jiang Wanwan out today to buy gifts for the old man was just an excuse. He originally wanted to calm down when he went abroad and suppress his feelings for Jiang Wanwan, but he didn't expect that after going abroad, not only did he not calm down, but he was disturbed by strange thoughts. His thoughts were a little absent-minded even when he was working.
Xi Heming has never been one to wrong himself. After discovering that he couldn't help but miss Jiang Wanwan's every move, every move, every smile, he immediately booked a flight back to China. Since I have fallen in love with Jiang Wanwan and have been attracted to her unknowingly, it is better to take the initiative and open Jiang Wanwan's heart before the five-year contract expires and let her become the real Mrs. Xi.
Xi Heming glanced around the bustling shopping mall and suggested with some uncertainty: "How about we just stroll around and buy something suitable when we see it. Anyway, the old man is not short of money or things, so whatever he gives is what he means."
"Okay." Jiang Wanwan carried her handbag and walked side by side with Xi Heming in the mall. The first floor was almost full of cosmetics and various luxury brands. It is now the end of summer, and new autumn clothes have been launched. Jiang Wanwan's eyes can't help but drift to the clothes displayed on the models in various stores.
Xi Heming paused, then turned and walked towards the women's clothing store where Jiang Wanwan's eyes were lingering. Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan quickly followed, reaching out and tugging on the long sleeve of his shirt: "That store is for women's clothing!"
"I know." Xi Heming's eyes rolled around his wrist, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened: "Didn't you just look at this store's clothes? If you like it, go ahead and try it on."
Jiang Wanwan really likes one of the clothes, but she came out today to buy a gift for Old Man Xi, so it might not be appropriate to try on the clothes herself.
"No, I'll come back another day." Jiang Wanwan smiled and was about to move forward. Xi Heming quickly grabbed her wrist: "Since we are out, let's buy it together. Anyway, we have enough time now!"
Jiang Wanwan hesitated for a moment. Xi Heming looked at her and said in a cool tone: "Are you very free? You have so much time for shopping! Have you finished developing your professional robot? Are you ready for the home robot launch conference? Intelligent cloud platform Have you contacted any potential customers?”
When Xi Heming said something, Jiang Wanwan's head got bigger. Before she could finish asking three heart-wrenching questions, Jiang Wanwan had already pushed Xi Heming's hand away and strode towards the store. He could try on three sets of clothes while listening to his ramble. .
Several service staff in the store had noticed Xi Heming and Jiang Wanwan a long time ago. When they were discussing the value of their outfits, they saw the two walking towards the store one after another, and their eyes suddenly lit up. They came up to greet Jiang Wanwan and bowed in unison: "Welcome."
Jiang Wanwan didn't waste any time and directly pointed to the new autumn style she liked in the window: "Take a set and let me try it on."
"Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment!" The service staff immediately went to pick up the clothes. Xi Heming put his hands in his pockets and casually glanced around the store, his eyes falling on a dress: "Give her a try on this one. "
When Jiang Wanwan heard this, she turned around and saw that it was a dress made of exquisite and elegant lace fabrics. Eye-catching narrow shoulder straps were designed on the shoulders, which looked sexy and fashionable.
Jiang Wanwan shook her head hesitantly: "It looks good, but there are fewer opportunities to wear this dress. The strapless design is not suitable for the company, and it is not formal enough for a cocktail party. There is no suitable occasion to wear it."
"Why not!" Xi Heming looked at her: "Isn't it nice to be dressed like today? If you go to the old man's place, your professional dress is not suitable. This dress is not so formal and not so casual. It's just right. And It’s also more suitable to wear when friends go out to eat and watch movies.”
Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up. During this period, all she was thinking about was the company, and she didn't even go back to her parents' home. Apart from professional skirts and dresses for cocktail parties and dinners, she really didn't think about her daily wear.
Although the company is still unable to make ends meet, it still has enough money to buy a few clothes. Jiang Wanwan simply ordered a few more clothes: "This, this and this one are all for me to try on."
Several waiters got busy, taking off all the clothes Jiang Wanwan liked and sending them to the changing room for her to try on one set at a time. Jiang Wanwan is tall and slender like a standard clothes rack. No matter what clothes she wears, they fit her perfectly, as if they were tailor-made for her.
Especially the lace dress that Xi Heming chose for her was even more eye-catching. She was young and had a charming and sweet appearance. She also had some elegant aura. It could be said that she would All the advantages of this dress are brought out, and it is as beautiful as an elf falling into the mortal world.
Jiang Wanwan looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She wore business attire and a bun every day as President Jiang. She almost forgot that she was no longer the female CEO in her thirties, but a girl in her early twenties. In the past, she had always complained that God had tricked her into letting her wear books. Now she felt that this might be a benefit given to her by God because she was too hard-working, allowing her to return to her youth and make up for the time she had not cherished.
Jiang Wanwan in the mirror had a smile as bright as a flower. Xi Heming, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but walked behind her, raised his hand and gently tugged on her bun, and her long shawl hair with big waves poured down from her head, hanging on her head. on the back.
Xi Heming held Jiang Wanwan's hair ornament in his hand, but his eyes fell on Jiang Wanwan's face in the mirror.
Since taking over the Xi Group, he has met many beautiful women, some of whom are more beautiful than Jiang Wanwan. But no matter whether she is beautiful or sweet, it is difficult to attract his attention, and he does not even have any trouble at all. It is precisely because of this that he finds it difficult to fall in love with a woman, and he has no expectations at all. own love.
But after falling in love with Jiang Wanwan, he found that his world was suddenly different. He knew what longing was, what expectation was, and what cowardice was. He also knew that the reason why he had no appreciation for the beauty of those previous women was because they had never entered his heart. Once he was attracted, he found that even her hair was more attractive than other people's.
"This dress is suitable for letting your hair down." Xi Heming looked at Jiang Wanwan with deep eyes, and his voice was lower and hoarse than usual: "I will help you find a pair of shoes."
Jiang Wanwan was originally very surprised when Xi Heming untied her hair, but her attention was diverted immediately when she said these words, and she could barely control her shocked expression: Xi Heming, that narcissistic, proud and hypocritical man, would actually take the initiative to do it to her When choosing shoes, Jiang Wanwan felt that Xi Heming's personality in her heart was about to collapse.
Xi Heming seemed to know that Jiang Wanwan was looking at him, and took the initiative to avoid looking at him. He stopped in the shoe section for a moment and brought over a pair of silver low heels.
When the waiter in the store saw this, he immediately smiled and praised: "Sir, you have good taste. These shoes are a new model in the store. They match this skirt very well."
Since the waiter had recommended it, Jiang Wanwan didn't show any pretense. She sat down, took off her shoes, and carefully put them on her new shoes.
As soon as her feet went in, Jiang Wanwan felt that her feet, which had been tied up all day, felt instantly relaxed. The shape of the round toe tip made the toes less restrictive, and the design of silver sequins and small heels added a fashionable and lively look to the shoes. The youthfulness is indeed very suitable for this skirt.
The most important thing is that wearing these shoes for shopping is much more comfortable than the high heels she wore before.
Jiang Wanwan took out her bank card from her bag and handed it to the waiter, and said very naturally: "I want these clothes and these shoes."
Xi Heming, who was just about to take out his wallet, looked at Jiang Wanwan very helplessly. Although he had never gone shopping with a woman, he felt that since they were shopping together, it was the man who should spend the money. But Jiang Wanwan is not an ordinary woman. He was able to successfully send the necklace out today in the name of a return gift. If he really forced the payment, Jiang Wanwan would probably throw his bank card right back in his face.
Xi Heming put down his hand sadly, thinking silently that the future is long, and sooner or later he will have to pay for it!
The service staff packed Jiang Wanwan's clothes and shoes. This time, Xi Heming took the lead in taking the things before Jiang Wanwan could reach out.
Jiang Wanwan looked at him with some confusion: "Why are you so attentive today? Do you want to ask me for something?"
Xi Heming looked at her dumbfounded: "I have something to ask you? Do you think it's possible?"
Jiang Wanwan thought seriously for a long time, and smacked her lips with regret: "It seems that there is really nothing you can ask for from me, so why are you so proactive in helping me carry things? This is not like what you, Mr. Xi, do?"
Xi Heming looked at her and asked curiously: "Then what do you think I should do to make it look like what I do?"
Jiang Wanwan thought for a while and described the image of Xi Heming in her mind: "You, your standard expression is a look of disgust. You complain about me from head to toe, and then you brag about your taste and appearance. The key point of your final statement is No one is worthy of your nobleness, so warn me not to fall in love with you."
Jiang Wanwan said very righteously: "Don't worry, I will never fall in love with you."
Xi Heming was extremely heartbroken. The sins committed by God can be forgiven, but the sins committed by oneself are unforgivable. Why did he have such a bad mouth before!
"Actually, what I said before was half-joking." Xi Heming tried hard to change Jiang Wanwan's perspective: "Don't you think we get along quite happily?"
Jiang Wanwan didn't pick up the string in Xi Heming's head at all, and responded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes, we are friends, and we will definitely get along happily."
Xi Heming: "..."
I feel tired and don’t want to talk.
The air pressure on Xi Heming dropped instantly, and he looked depressed. Jiang Wanwan didn't know where she had offended him again, so she tentatively stretched out her hand to take the seven or eight shopping bags: "How about I carry them myself, these shopping bags are really not worthy of your temperament, Mr. Xi." .”
Xi Heming raised his hand to hide and looked at her listlessly: "Where can I put my face when I go shopping with a woman and let myself pick up my own things?"
Yes, yes, I almost forgot that this hypocritical person loves face the most. Jiang Wanwan let go of her hand and said a little unsteadily: "How about I put it back in the car first?"
Xi Heming knew that his impression in Jiang Wanwan's heart would not be reversed for a while, so he could only figure it out slowly. However, there were indeed a lot of bags on his hands, and it was inconvenient for him to carry them while shopping with her. Xi Heming looked around and saw a cold drink shop not far away: "You go there and sit and rest for a while. I'll put down my things and come over. "
Jiang Wanwan was really not used to sitting there and letting Xi Heming do the work, but before she could say anything, Xi Heming's face turned serious: "I'll put it away, you go over and rest."
Jiang Wanwan was convinced by this old man. He really did not hesitate to use his strength for the sake of face. In this case, she was happy and relaxed.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much. I'll treat you to a cold drink later."
Xi Heming's expression immediately softened, and he was filled with a happy atmosphere: "Okay."
Jiang Wanwan looked at Xi Heming's happy back and wondered why Xi Heming seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today. I feel awkward everywhere!
Watching Xi Heming's figure enter the elevator, Wanwan shook her head and walked towards the cold drink shop. But as soon as she sat down, she regretted it. Her plastic sister Hua Si Liya came with an eyebrow and Xi Heming beside her. There are three or four similar men.
She knew at a glance that this was the pretty boy whom Siliya bribed to seduce the original owner in the original book.
However, the pretty boy Silia chose was too undermatched. Not to mention his rough facial features, he was half a head shorter than Xi Heming. He walked with a swaying look that was not impressive at all. To say that he was Xi Heming's stand-in was an insult to Xi Heming.
Not to mention anything else, Xi Heming's long legs could reach his waist!
