13: Chapter 13 The President in Love?
Ding!
A crisp sound woke Wu Jie from his dozing.
He had stayed up most of last night, and finally figured out the Emotional System.
But he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep, even happier than if he’d won five million bucks, so he fell asleep very late.
He had co to the company early just to catch a nap, so he wouldn’t be listless during work hours.
But then this ssage arrived…
“Damn it!
Who is it so early in the morning!”
Wu Jie imdiately perked up when he unlocked his phone and saw who it was from.
A ssage from the beautiful CEO!
He opened it, and his brow instantly furrowed.
Tang Xiao: “Do you know how to do makeup?”
Wu Jie was perplexed.
Dangerous!
Tang Xiao: “Go away!
I definitely don’t want to get pregnant and have children, that would hurt so much!”
Wu Jie: “Giving birth and raising children is a woman’s sacred duty, carrying on the lineage for a man is also an expression of love.
If it’s too much, just treat your husband like a brother, and have a C-section, isn’t that like taking a knife for your brother?”
After sending the voice ssage, Tang Xiao couldn’t stop laughing on the other end.
Taking a knife for your brother?
The analogy was indeed quite fitting.
Tang Xiao managed to suppress her laughter before saying, “Are you trying to laugh to death so you can take over my CEO position?”
Wu Jie curled his lip: “How is that possible?
We’re a fake couple, not a real husband and wife!
If you died laughing, how could I inherit your estate?”
Tang Xiao blurted out, “Then let’s just get married!”
Spurt!!
The water Wu Jie had just sipped sprayed out everywhere.
And his luck was just too damn bad.
It happened right as Cao Bin walked in, catching it all in the face.
Cao Bin was stunned, frozen in place.
What the heck was this?
After wiping his face, Cao Bin was seething with rage.
“Wu Jie, to hell with you!”
“You…
you’re asking for it!
This is a new shirt I bought, cost over nine hundred!!”
Wu Jie hurriedly grabbed a tissue to apologize: “Sorry, President Cao, it’s just that you looked so handso today, it startled ; I couldn’t help it…
Here, use the tissue.
I’ll take your shirt for dry cleaning later!”
You don’t hit a man with a smiling face!
Especially when he’s complinting your good looks!
After wiping himself with the tissue, Cao Bin asked with a laugh, “Do I really look better in this pink shirt?”
“Of course!
Pink is so festive and vibrant!” Wu Jie flattered him a couple of tis, then pointed toward the work area: “I’m heading back to work now, the shirt…”
“No worries!
If you sent it to the cleaners, when would I even get to wear it again?
Just leave it!”
Cao Bin waved his hands generously, then approached a mirror, looking left and right, wearing a grinning face as he combed his hair with both hands.
“Ah, a little water on the head really does make one look more refreshed!
I wonder if Wan Jun will like it?”
Cao Bin’s self-admiring manner almost made Wu Jie burst into laughter once again.
Leaving the pantry, Wu Jie suddenly rembered the important matter at hand.
What did Tang Xiao say just now?
After listening to the voice ssage again, Wu Jie was still stunned.
What was that?
Was it a joke, or was it for real?
Wu Jie felt it was more the latter, so he responded with a voice ssage, “What kind of joke is this?
If we got married, wouldn’t your friends and relatives drown in their spit?
Your parents would definitely co at with kitchen knives, chopping up into a thousand pieces, maybe even frying in oil!”
Tang Xiao said, “It’s not as scary as you say.
My parents are quite open-minded.
You’ll know when you et them soday.
But don’t take the marriage thing as a joke.
If one day I am pushed into marriage, I might just have to get a certificate with you to muddle through the situation.
Alright, enough about that.
I have to go to a eting now.
You too, don’t play with your phone during work hours.
Be careful not to get caught and have your salary docked!”
After hearing this, Wu Jie simply replied with an OK emoji.
It was only after he sent the ssage that Wu Jie suddenly realized, that’s a hundred bucks per ssage!
He thought about recalling it, but then he thought, would the domineering female CEO care about that hundred bucks?
Returning to his seat, just as Wu Jie was about to get down to work, his phone vibrated.
“Could it be that President Tang has more to say?”
He stealthily glanced around—no one was paying attention.
He quickly unlocked his phone to check the ssage, only to find that it wasn’t from Tang Xiao, but from the nickna ‘Xin’er,’ who had accepted the friend request.
Buzz!
Soon after, he received a ssage from Xin’er, “Integrity!
After teaming up with you last night, I didn’t manage to ‘chicken dinner’ at all.
Tonight, we have to team up and get that chicken no matter what!”
Wu Jie glanced at the ssage and shook his head repeatedly, “Childish!”
The darn Emotional System has possessed , I’m barely keeping up with earning energy points, and you want to play for chicken dinners?
Just because you’re pretty and have a great figure?
What’s the point of winning in gas?
Even if you win a thousand chickens, can that buy a house, a car, or find a wife?
But then again, one shouldn’t speak too harshly, especially to a youthful and beautiful girl like her!
And so, Wu Jie quickly typed a reply, “I’m busy at work, we’ll talk about it tonight!”
Tang Xin quickly replied, but it was a long row of pouting emojis.
Wu Jie got mad.
So what if I’m at work?
It’s not like you pay my salary; it’s your sister who pays !
Wait a mont!
Suddenly, Wu Jie realized sothing wasn’t right.
The company was a family business, for all he knew, Tang Xin’s parents might also be shareholders.
But he couldn’t care less at this point, Wu Jie didn’t reply to Tang Xin and started working.
Cao Bin ca out from the break room, leisurely strolling around for a while.
Seeing everyone was working hard, he went back to his manager’s office.
He hadn’t sat down for five minutes before he went upstairs to find Xie Wanjun.
anwhile.
Tang Xiao was holding a video conference with the company’s senior executives.
During the eting, a secretary was in charge of logistics, allowing Xie Wanjun, the secretary-general, and several other beautiful secretaries to slack off for a bit.
Gossip is second nature to won.
As they were chatting, the topic eventually turned to Tang Xiao.
“Hey, did you guys notice?
President Tang looks different today!”
“Exactly!
When I brought her coffee this morning, she was actually chatting and laughing with soone!”
“She was glowing indeed!
She seed so lively, could it be that she’s in love?”
“More than that!
When I went in to deliver so docunts, I even heard the words ‘let’s get married.'”
“There are so many handso and rich guys pursuing President Tang, it’s possible that she’s been in a secret relationship with soone, and we just don’t know about it!”
“Then what about the other suitors?
They must be heartbroken!”
“They’re probably livid!
Haha!”
…
In the midst of their laughter and jest, Xie Wanjun pretended to go to the bathroom but sent a ssage halfway there.
President Tang Xiao being in love—that was so explosive insider news!
Having received many favors from rich young master Wang Kun for being his informant, how could Xie Wanjun not report back promptly?
