Chapter 264 - Office Romance~
Zhiyuan was lost in a daze when Xinyi noticed it. She knew that he must be thinking about Xiaosi. Sure, she was still bitter with him about the diary but she kept it aside for now.
"You are worrying about Xiaosi, right?"
"En. He was always so cheerful back in college, right?" He faintly smiled, "To think that he was hiding such grief in his heart. And now that he t his mother again, it is unbelievable that she would behave like this."
She pursed her lips. "En. She should hate that man who assaulted her, not Xiaosi."
His gaze turned cold as he thought about her. "I hope they don't et again because I swear if she does anything to hurt Xiaosi anymore, I won't stay quiet. She has hurt my friend enough already. I can only sympathize with her to a certain extent, not more than that."
She nodded.
The car stopped at the Han Corps. Xinyi frowned. "Why did the car stop here? I need to go ho."
Zhiyuan smiled. "I told the driver. Siying is at school anyway so I thought why not you join in my office?"
Her mouth twitched.
"We can work together."
"W-why should I co with you?"
"Now don't be like that, forr CEO of the Han Corps. Haven't you worked here before?"
"..."
"So I thought why don't the husband and wife work together for a day? I have heard that spending ti at work increases the special bond between them~ It's a perfect chance for us," he slyly smiled.
She glared at him. "Are you calling for work or fooling around?"
He seed to be in deep thought.
"Both?"
"!!!"
Before she could protest further, Zhiyuan dragged her out of the car and then before she could glare at him again, she was already at the entrance so she really couldn't show an angry face in front of everyone.
Inside the CEO's office, Xinyi imdiately created a distance between them.
"You are too far, wifey."
"This is just fine," she plainly said, "We are here to work. An office is a place for work."
"So boring," Zhiyuan smiled as he slowly stepped towards her.
Xinyi twitched her brow and took a step back. He moved ahead and she moved back and this happened until she had no space left. Her back hit the wall and she reached a dead-end.
Zhiyuan rested his palms on the wall beside her ears and chuckled. "Besides wifey, haven't you heard of office romance?"
"..."
"Office is a place for work AND romance if I might add."
"Y-you are the CEO."
"Exactly why we can do as we please," he grinned.
"You should set yourself as an example towards dedication and sincerity for work," she righteously said.
"People are more dedicated and sincere towards work when they have a special soone who works with them~ In fact, I should say that there is an EXTRA dedication from their end and as such, I as a responsible CEO, definitely promote and support healthy relationships in the office."
She scowled.
Zhiyuan gave her a quick peck on her cheek, leaving her dumbstruck. "So shall we begin?"
Xinyi couldn't help but blush a little. But she quickly hid it and pushed him away. "S-stay in your limits!"
She hastily walked towards the table, took a seat and randomly opened a file. Zhiyuan chuckled and held her wrist.
"Hey what are you doing?"
He pulled her and made her sit in the CEO's chair. "Today, you are the CEO and I...I am your able assistant. So my wifey aka Boss, please feel free to order around as you wish."
Xinyi blinked her eyes. Then she smiled. "Well if you are the assistant, then I have an order for you."
Zhiyuan glead in joy. "Yes, Mam! What can I do for you?"
"Stay away and no flirting."
"..."
"Work with only pure intentions."
"..."
"Xinyi, I always have the purest intentions in my heart."
"I know how pure they are, especially after the trip to the amusent park."
Did I dig my own grave? I should have remained the CEO…
"How about we switch-"
"I am already in my CEO mode now, so no thanks," she narrowed her eyes.
I will not give him any chance to be shaless anymore!
His mouth twitched. He pitifully took the seat in front of her. Xinyi read about the latest projects that the Han Corps was undertaking and she read through a file, she recognized a na written on it.
Liao Yuan.
She blinked her eyes in surprise. She glanced at Zhiyuan and asked. "Liao Yuan is back?"
Zhiyuan straightened up to be in his assistant mode. "Yes, Mam. Wait, you know him?"
He wondered why she specifically asked about him. Then he recalled one project around four years back where the Han Corps was rivals with the Liao Corps for the bid. It was during the ti when Xinyi was the standing CEO in his place.
When he took over the position again, Zhiyuan had studied each and every deal in detail that happened in his absence. He rembered that Liao Corps was one of them.
"Ah wait, I rember…" Zhiyuan slowly said.
That is why she knows him...
Xinyi said, "Yes. I t Liao Yuan around four years back. We were competing in a bid at that ti."
Similar to Han Corps, Liao Corps had major business in the service and hotel industry. So, they were bound to be rivals, trying to win deals against one another. One such deal happened when Xinyi was managing the business.
She coughed. "But after we won the deal, Liao Yuan left abroad…"
Xinyi had a strange expression on her face and she suddenly averted her gaze.
Hm? What happened to her? Zhiyuan tilted his head. He squinted his eyes, finding it odd.
"It seems that he is back now and once again, we will have a competition I guess...He also seems to be interested in this deal."
The secretary knocked on the door.
"Co in."
She promptly stepped in and bowed. "Mam, there is soone asking to et you."
"Who?"
"Mr. Liao Yuan."
