Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When women get together, there’s bound to be noise and excitement. That moment, all the girls in the planning department were chirping together and their voices almost drowned Ye Shanshan’s interrogation.
“I heard from Mr. Xu that a big shot is coming today but I didn’t expect it to be Mr. Jiang!”
“Really? I want to have a look! I heard Mr. Jiang is much more handsome in person than on television…”
“Hehe, let’s not chat anymore. I’m going down to see Mr. Jiang!”
Su Wan was speechless as she watched the few girls dashing down the stairs. Their impatience was as if something was chasing them.
Although Mr. Jiang was the big boss, could these people possess such working attitudes?
Before she came, she thought Long Teng International was a strict multinational company. She had not expected that…
Su Wan’s vision returned to her immediate superior. Ye Shanshan took out her compact mirror and started touching up her makeup. Her gestures were careful, as if she was going on a date.
When she saw Su Wan looking at her, Ye Shanshan said coldly, “You are lucky Mr. Jiang is here today. Next time, remember to buy my coffee from Blue Mountain Café. Remember!”
Before Su Wan could respond, Ye Shanshan grabbed her mobile phone and dashed downstairs in her high heels.
Su Wan frowned. Blue Mountain Café was a few kilometers away from Long Teng International’s office. Did it mean that she had to hail a taxi to buy that cup of coffee?
Furthermore, Ye Shanshan did not pay her for that cup of coffee. From Ye Shanshan’s tone, she didn’t intend to pay…
Su Wan sighed again and was about to browse through some information on the computer but heard the door being pushed open.
Su Wan raised her head slightly and saw a familiar face. He was a middle-aged man with a square face.
Wasn’t he the interviewer who employed her?
Su Wan’s heart brightened. Although she didn’t know his name, she felt a sense of cordiality toward the person who employed her. She smiled and greeted him.
The interviewer recognized Su Wan. He walked over quickly and put on a smile too. A sense of unnoticeable amazement flashed through his eyes.
“Su Wan, why are you still here? I thought that the girls in the planning department have all gone downstairs to get a glimpse of Mr. Jiang.”
Who was this Mr. Jiang? Why would it be odd if one did not go and look at him?
Su Wan shook her head faintly and while putting the documents together, she said, “So many people have gone down and it makes no difference if I’m not there. Oh, how should I address you?”
The middle-aged man with a square face casted off the serious look he had during the interview and introduced himself smilingly, “I’m Xu Lei, the deputy general manager of Long Teng International. You may call me Mr. Xu.”
Su Wan nodded politely again. “Hello, Mr. Xu. You have seen my resume during interview, so I won’t introduce myself again.”
Su Wan thought this introduction had been completed but suddenly, Mr. Xu stretched his right hand out.
When she saw the coarse palm, Su Wan did not understand why at first, but very quickly, she realized that he wanted to shake her hand.
Su Wan had not expected this serious-looking interviewer to be friendly and warm.
With poise, Su Wan held out her right hand but very quickly, she sensed something amiss.
Mr. Xu held her hand very tightly and intentionally brushed past her palm with his thumb.
Su Wan hated being touched by strangers. When she shook hands with Mr. Xu, it was out of courtesy, but now he was being too impolite!
Su Wan recollected her unhappy emotions and reminded coldly, “Mr. Xu, could you let go of your hand now?”
She was not a naïve young girl who was ignorant of the world. Mr. Xu whom she thought was a good man, appeared to be a hypocrite who looked gentlemanly.
Mr. Xu looked at Su Wan passionately. He did not let go of her hand but instead, he clasped her hand tighter.
“Su Wan, I admire you. You are young and beautiful. If you were to take refuge in me, your future will be bright. I’ll be able to help you to grow faster.”
“Thank you but I don’t think that is necessary.”
Su Wan frowned and started to part Mr. Xu’s hand but his strength was greater than hers and her effort was futile.
Su Wan had not expected to meet superiors of the highest grade continuously on her first day of work.
Firstly, there was Ye Shanshan who ordered and shouted at her and she had endured it. Now, there was Mr. Xu who went beyond what was proper and tried to molest her!
She was angry inside but her hand was gripped by him. She thought of stepping on Mr. Xu’s foot with her high heels.
Just then, the door of the planning department was pushed opened. A cold and stern voice was heard.
“What are you two doing?”
Following that voice, Su Wan and Mr. Xu unconsciously looked toward the door.
The door now was filled with people but only the man in front became the center of attention.
The man who led had beautiful eyes and eyebrows. Even if he merely stood there, he was like a fallen angel. He was so stunning, it made people stifle.
How could it be Jiang Xuecheng? Su Wan was shocked and she widened her almond eyes.
It looked like wherever this man was present, people around him would easily become the background.
Mr. Xu, who had regained his senses, let go of Su Wan’s hand. He ran toward Jiang Xuecheng, nodding and bowing in a flattering manner.
“Mr. Jiang, why did you come to the planning department? Do you have any orders?”
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his thin lips. His handsome face was enveloped by a thick hostility. His gloomy look was like the sky covered with dark clouds.
There was a strong wind before the thunderstorm…
Everyone present who saw Jiang Xuecheng’s face had a premonition.
Although Jiang Xuecheng had not been smiling when he walked upstairs, he was only stoic but now, his eyes were piercingly cold. It was like a blade with poison, a horrifying sight!
Jiang Xuecheng’s cold eyes swept across Mr. Xu and looking into his eyes, one would feel as if they were falling into a cold abyss. His vision sent shivers down Mr. Xu’s spine and cold sweat started breaking on Mr. Xu’s forehead.
“What were you two doing just now? Answer me.”
While speaking, Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze shifted from Mr. Xu to Su Wan.
Su Wan had not seen Jiang Xuecheng in such mood before. Her heart skipped a beat.
Why did she feel as if Jiang Xuecheng was angry for her sake? When Mr. Xu had behaved inappropriately, Jiang Xuecheng must have seen it…
Mr. Xu’s look of flattery disappeared very quickly as he answered while trembling, “I was greeting our new employee and briefing her on Long Teng’s rules.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan, his expression still swift and fierce.
