In simpler terms, if Xiangyi wanted to get in, she would need to get an employee card.
Xiangyi reluctantly retreated from the doorway, pondering if she could climb up from another floor through a window herself. She took a look, but the windows were made of special anti-air blast glass. No matter how Shaoyao and Hua Nu tried, they couldn't budge them. Xiangyi became even more frustrated. She continued to circle around the back and found a man in a suit flirting with a woman.
Both of them were wearing employee badges. Xiangyi seemed to have found a shortcut. She ordered Hua Nu to control the two of them and obtained the work ID from the woman.
But when she looked at her own student-like attire and remembered she had already appeared on the front desk's surveillance camera, she knew she would be too conspicuous dressed like this. After some thought, she steeled herself, first stripping the woman's clothes, and then throwing both of them into the Flower God Ring.
After finishing all this, Xiangyi put on the woman's professional attire. She let her hair down, took off her glasses, and put on the employee ID. Her entire aura immediately transformed.
At this moment, no one suspected Xiangyi.
She naturally walked back into the building. There weren't many people in the lobby, but when they saw Xiangyi, all eyes naturally focused on her. Xiangyi felt a sense of foreboding, but she still maintained her arrogant demeanor and walked straight towards the elevator. Just as she was about to use her employee ID to open the elevator door, a man in a suit called out to her.
"Hello, are you President Ye?" Xiangyi waved the employee ID in her hand, while simultaneously covering the photo portion, preventing the man from clearly seeing that the photo and the person did not match at all.
But the man kept staring at Xiangyi, completely oblivious to that detail. He seemed to have deliberately come over to strike up a conversation, then realized his mistake, his smile widening. He then said, "Sorry, beautiful, you're just too stunning. I thought you were President Ye."
Xiangyi could only reply, "No, my name is Zhang Xiaoshuang." As she spoke, she was about to swipe her employee ID when the man solicitously opened the elevator door for her. Xiangyi thanked him and walked in. The man still had a smile on his face, but it seemed he was genuinely waiting for someone, so he didn't go upstairs.
Xiangyi also successfully took her first step. She stood in a spot where the elevator could see her face clearly and casually pressed the button for the third floor.
Firstly, she didn't want to cause trouble for Shuxuan with her methods.
Secondly, she needed to create some diversion to confuse everyone and prevent them from discovering her true objective.
Therefore, she went to the completely different third floor and then directly went up the stairs to find Shuxuan's office.
The meeting had already begun. Shuxuan was sitting in a secondary position, attending the meeting with everyone with a grave expression. Opposite them sat a man who appeared to be a client.
However, he wasn't fat-headed and large-eared, but a clean-cut handsome guy in a suit. Considering Shuxuan's attire today, it wasn't hard to guess the purpose.
Although she didn't have any romantic feelings for Shuxuan, Xiangyi was determined to get Shuxuan's first kiss, or second kiss.
With her mind made up, Xiangyi's gaze swept around again, thinking if she could find an excuse to call Shuxuan out, or have Hua Nu carefully deliver the documents inside, avoiding this moment.
"Young Master Chen, what do you think of this proposal?"
During the meeting, the woman presenting the proposal on stage was also wearing light makeup, but she was far inferior to Shuxuan in terms of beauty. However, with Xiangyi's eyesight, she could see that the person's work ID read "Sales Manager."
Without a doubt, this was the woman who had snatched Shuxuan's original managerial position. Shuxuan clearly had no say in the matter. To regain her original position, she had meticulously prepared this proposal to confront this general manager.
"It's alright. What about others? Don't you have any proposals?" The man called Young Master Chen shifted his gaze. Even though Shuxuan was the most radiant among the crowd, he didn't look at her much.
Whether he was pretending to be a gentleman or was genuinely a well-bred young master, everyone present attached great importance to this Young Master Chen, but they didn't seem to dare to casually propose ideas in front of him.
Shuxuan's expression grew increasingly grim. She clasped her phone tightly, as if praying for something. Perhaps she was praying for a miracle, or perhaps she was praying for someone to change everything.
Hua Nu: Master, someone is coming.
Hua Nu's voice suddenly echoed in her mind. Xiangyi's gaze followed and saw someone walking towards them carrying a tea tray. Tea was placed on it, and Xiangyi already had a plan in mind. She could create an opportunity to enter, drawing everyone's attention to herself, and then have Hua Nu give the documents to Shuxuan.
Xiangyi: Hua Nu, I need you to do me a favor.
Hua Nu: Kill someone?
Xiangyi was amused and exasperated, reminding her helplessly.
Xiangyi: This is a time of peace. I need you to knock this woman out and give me an opportunity to enter the office.
Hua Nu nodded, and instantly a silver needle shot from her hand. The woman suddenly trembled and then fell forward. Xiangyi immediately grabbed the tea tray and put the woman into the Flower God Ring.
The entire action was seamless. Xiangyi breathed a sigh of relief and knocked on the office door.
"Come in." A voice immediately responded from inside, but due to the tense atmosphere, no one paid attention to Xiangyi's presence.
Shuxuan, however, glanced over. Upon seeing that face, her taut nerves relaxed.
Xiangyi didn't make eye contact with Shuxuan. She first neatly placed the tea down, while simultaneously having Shaoyao secretly slip the dropped documents into Shuxuan's hand.
The entire action went unnoticed, but soon everyone realized that Xiangyi's face was unfamiliar. It was an unfamiliar yet exceptionally beautiful face, making them feel puzzled and strange.
Most importantly, that Young Master Chen seemed unable to take his eyes off Xiangyi.
The more collections and monthly tickets, the faster the updates~
Chapter 49, [1] So Arrogant with a Cheat
It was a completely uncontrollable attraction that made this Young Master Chen forget the decorum he should have possessed.
Shaoyao: That person keeps staring at you, Flower Master. Is he sick!
Shaoyao's voice appeared in Xiangyi's mind. Xiangyi, who was already a bit nervous, almost broke character when Shaoyao said that. She tried hard to control her emotions but still managed a polite smile.
"Young Master Chen? Young Master Chen."
Everyone else also noticed the absentmindedness of this Young Master Chen and awkwardly called out to him.
"Oh, sorry, I was listening. Where were we?" Young Master Chen's expression was embarrassed, as if he didn't understand why he had lost his composure.
He had seen many beautiful women, but this was the first time he had encountered someone like Xiangyi.
She was absolutely beautiful, but her eyes held no trace of the arrogance that beauty often brought, making her seem approachable. Her beauty was neither boastful nor impatient, and it carried a hint of mystery, making Young Master Chen feel an urge to dismiss the meeting and go for coffee with this sudden appearance of a woman to chat about life.
The others were even more bewildered, completely unaware that there was such a beautiful person in the company. The most terrifying thing was that she had only come in to serve tea. After doing so, she showed no intention of staying, making Young Master Chen somewhat anxious.
The Sales Manager, who was attending the meeting, noticed this and saw an opportunity. She quickly stopped Xiangyi, who was about to leave.
"You're the new girl, Xiaoshuang, right? Stay and listen, learn from your seniors' experience." The Sales Manager said this with a seemingly serious tone, giving people the illusion that Xiangyi was indeed a member of the sales department.
However, how could the sales department not know if it was real or fake? Although they didn't know who this person who entered was, they still didn't dare to expose them.
Jing Shuxuan, who had received the documents from Shaoyao, was scared to death, worried that she had implicated Qin Xiangyi. Just as she was about to stand up and explain something, she felt a force suppressing her. But there was no one around, only a faint floral scent in her nostrils.
Jing Shuxuan realized that Qin Xiangyi's magical beast must be hidden beside her, so she quieted down. However, her eyes were still looking at Qin Xiangyi with concern, afraid that as a student, she would not be able to handle all this.
"Yes, Manager." Qin Xiangyi was neither hurried nor flustered. If she had been an ordinary person before, she might have feared such an occasion. But now she had the ability to protect herself, and behind her was the all-purpose tool, Hua Nu. Even if she said something wrong, as long as Hua Nu gave them an injection, this group of people would completely forget that Qin Xiangyi had ever appeared.
But it was said that this effect had side effects. Qin Xiangyi did not need to kill people for money, so she would not be too obvious. She stood obediently where Young Master Chen could see her.
Shaoyao: He's still looking. Should we dig his eyeballs out!
Shaoyao was very displeased with Young Master Chen's gaze. She always felt that once Qin Xiangyi took off her glasses, she would be like a different person, making her feel annoyed and always wanting to ask Qin Xiangyi to put her glasses back on.
Hua Nu: Everyone has a love for beauty. Look at Flower Master, isn't she very beautiful?
Hua Nu smiled beside her, her gaze on Qin Xiangyi always carrying a bit of fervor and exploration, as if she wanted to find some trace. Qin Xiangyi didn't feel uncomfortable being looked at by Young Master Chen, but instead felt a chill from Hua Nu's gaze.
She really didn't understand what Hua Nu was looking at on her, but she felt like she couldn't get an answer if she asked. After thinking about it, she deliberately looked away, pretending to listen to what those people were saying.
Young Master Chen's attention was becoming increasingly unfocused, but he kept refusing appropriately, showing no sincerity in signing a contract with the company. The Sales Manager was somewhat annoyed but couldn't vent her anger. She thought for a moment and decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, starting with Qin Xiangyi.
"Xiao Shuang, you summarize what we just discussed." So, the Sales Manager looked at Qin Xiangyi, intending to use this opportunity to scold her and inform Young Master Chen of the current situation.
Jing Shuxuan's throat tensed up. Although this was a sales meeting, it involved too many professional knowledge issues, and even Jing Shuxuan had to prepare carefully to fully grasp it. And Qin Xiangyi, a student about to enter her senior year, how could she possibly summarize the content of this meeting in such a short time?
Thinking that Qin Xiangyi was here for her, Jing Shuxuan absolutely could not let Qin Xiangyi be harmed. She intended to stand up again but was held down by Shaoyao.
"..."
Jing Shuxuan was speechless. She saw Qin Xiangyi's gaze turn to her and smile. The smile was calm and confident. Jing Shuxuan was confused, but various questions arose in her mind, making Jing Shuxuan choose to believe Qin Xiangyi.
"Okay, Manager. I'll briefly state the main points, but because I'm new, I still can't understand some things very well. So, if I say anything wrong, please forgive me." How could Qin Xiangyi be afraid? With the Eidetic Memory skill, she could practically be arrogant.
Her mind could record countless things, and she could extract the content and use it again immediately if needed. Even for the simplest things in life, she could remember all the minute details.
After speaking, she began to fluently recount the main points. Young Master Chen listened, his expression showing some admiration, as if he was very satisfied that Qin Xiangyi could grasp the key points so quickly.
The Sales Manager's face was ugly. She had intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys but failed. Thinking that she had lost face instead, her gaze swept around, looking for the next target to scare. At this moment, the Sales Manager saw Jing Shuxuan and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Xiao Shuang spoke brilliantly. As expected of our ace newcomer. Doesn't Young Master Chen want to know about other people's proposals? Vice Manager Jing Shuxuan is also our top ace. How about the next one by her?" The Sales Manager began her scheme, naturally shifting everyone's attention from Qin Xiangyi to Jing Shuxuan.
Jing Shuxuan was prepared. Moreover, Qin Xiangyi had risked everything for her, so how could she make a mistake? She needed this contract to succeed, she needed money, and she needed a higher position. Jing Shuxuan clenched her fist, smiled slightly, and then stood up.
At this moment, the pressure on her shoulders disappeared, as if the invisible hand had vanished, making Jing Shuxuan feel as if it was merely psychological pressure. She first smiled slightly at Young Master Chen and then walked towards the stage.
Qin Xiangyi was much more focused than before, but seeing that Young Master Chen was still looking at her, Qin Xiangyi made a polite gesture, hoping that Young Master Chen would focus on the main point.
Young Master Chen also realized that he had been impolite to the beauty and quickly looked at Jing Shuxuan. Soon, Young Master Chen's attention was captured by Jing Shuxuan's proposal, and after Jing Shuxuan finished speaking, Young Master Chen directly decided to proceed with Jing Shuxuan's sales plan.
Chapter 50 [2] I Only Like Women
The whole venue was a little stirred up, but upon closer inspection, they found that Jing Shuxuan's contract was even more ingenious. Not only could it help the company earn an additional 10% profit, but it would also make Young Master Chen feel very comfortable.
Qin Xiangyi savored Jing Shuxuan's sentences and content. They were flawless, and she understood why Jing Shuxuan carried the documents with her. Because every word was meticulously thought out by Jing Shuxuan, and one could feel Jing Shuxuan's sincerity and future prospects between the lines.
"I look forward to a win-win situation with Miss Jing," Young Master Chen said with a smile, shaking hands with Jing Shuxuan, politely and with just the right measure. Jing Shuxuan smiled and said courteously, "I will do my best. By the way, Young Master Chen, there are still some details that I need to confirm with you. When will you have time?"
Jing Shuxuan was neither servile nor overbearing. Young Master Chen glanced at his secretary next to him. The male secretary immediately understood and informed Young Master Chen of his schedule.
"You have Madam Qin's banquet tonight, and you need to catch a flight to Huangsha City at midnight," the secretary said softly, informing Young Master Chen that his business trip was very tight.
Hearing this, Young Master Chen frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy. His gaze shifted from Jing Shuxuan to Qin Xiangyi, who was standing there, seeming very unwilling.
"How about noon then?" Young Master Chen sighed, finally giving up on the idea of finding Qin Xiangyi for lunch.
Jing Shuxuan, however, remembered that she was supposed to meet Madam Qin's mother, Zhang Mou, at noon. But now, Young Master Chen had no extra time, putting her in a difficult position.
"What, do you have other things? But you also heard that I have no other time to talk in person," Young Master Chen waved his hand, his expression showing a hint of helplessness. If possible, he would like to relax, but obviously, that was absolutely impossible.
The banquet at Madam Qin's in the evening was very important, and a woman whom Young Master Chen dreamed of meeting would appear.
"This... I can adjust my schedule. Please give me a few minutes to decide." Jing Shuxuan gritted her teeth, finally deciding to prioritize her career. Although Zhang Mou was her benefactor, without a career, her future plans could not be realized at all.
Young Master Chen nodded in agreement, and Jing Shuxuan walked aside to make a phone call.
Seeing this, Qin Xiangyi was about to leave with Jing Shuxuan but was called back by Young Master Chen.
"Miss, can we get acquainted?" Young Master Chen asked with a bright smile, his target clear.
"Yes, but as you can see, my manager is about to give me a 'loving education'." Qin Xiangyi pointed at the Sales Manager who was glaring at her from a distance, and subtly badmouthed her to strengthen Young Master Chen's good impression of Jing Shuxuan.
Qin Xiangyi's help was thorough, but she left no trace of her leaning towards Jing Shuxuan. Young Master Chen naturally did not know that Qin Xiangyi was just a high school student. Hearing Qin Xiangyi's words, he thought she was very humorous. While strengthening his good impression of Qin Xiangyi, he also naturally felt a bit displeased with the Sales Manager who was targeting Qin Xiangyi.
"How about I help you talk to her?"
"No, I don't want people to think I got ahead by my looks later." Qin Xiangyi refused with a shake of her head. Young Master Chen laughed even harder, then took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Miss Xiao Shuang is truly interesting. Then, let's get acquainted outside of work. My name is Chen Haowen."
Qin Xiangyi was about to take Chen Haowen's hand, but she felt the name was too familiar.
If she remembered correctly, Chen Haowen was the eldest young master of the Chen family and the protagonist's best brother. But because the protagonist's charm was too strong, Qin Xiangyi, with a mischievous intent, made Chen Haowen fall in love with the protagonist, thus sending Chen Haowen down a gay path. He would go through fire and water for the protagonist, and later he died while doing so.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen late-stage characters appear, Qin Xiangyi still felt a bit complicated.
"What's wrong? Did my name scare you?" Chen Haowen still didn't know about the gay path he was about to embark on, nor did he know about his eventual death for loyalty.
Qin Xiangyi forced a smile, took his hand, and explained, "Indeed, it scared me. Who doesn't know the eldest young master of the Chen family in Heaven City?"
"Then, what if this eldest young master of the Chen family invites you for afternoon tea?" Chen Haowen's delicate face looked more and more gay the more she looked at him. Qin Xiangyi felt that she could arrange for Ye Fan, who was just a supporting character, to be with him, and let the two of them live peacefully forever.
Of course, if she were to become gay, even if she didn't have her first kiss with Jing Shuxuan, she wouldn't have to worry about Young Master Chen suddenly deciding to covet any Flower Fairy or Flower People.
The more Xiangyi thought about it, the happier she became, and she nodded, saying, "Okay, but I need to remind you of something."
Young Master Chen raised an eyebrow, "Oh, do you have a boyfriend?"
Xiangyi shook her head, "I don't have a boyfriend, but I only like women." The moment she spoke, there was a sound of something falling behind her.
Jing Shuxuan, who shouldn't have appeared at this time, suddenly appeared, looking at Xiangyi with a face full of surprise, as if she had heard every word of the conversation.
Xiangyi was speechless. She had only wanted to deter Young Master Chen, but she hadn't expected that one sentence would scare the target, Jing Shuxuan, half to death.
But she felt there was no need to explain. The more she explained, the more it would seem like a cover-up. So, Xiangyi smiled, bent down to pick up the dropped documents for Jing Shuxuan, and made a shushing gesture.
This action was meant to tell Jing Shuxuan not to ask for now, but from Jing Shuxuan's perspective, it was simply too provocative.
Her face turned slightly red, and she couldn't control her strange reaction. She quickly looked at Young Master Chen, and only then did she calm down.
"Young Master Zhang... I've already told my friend that we'll discuss the contract details at noon," Jing Shuxuan replied, daring not to look at Xiangyi behind her.
Xiangyi knew Jing Shuxuan was startled. Thinking that her work was all done, she turned to slip away, but Young Master Chen called her back again.
"Wait... Miss Jing, can we add one more person? I'd like to get to know her." Young Master Chen had no intention of giving up, and he smilingly invited Xiangyi to join the discussion of the contract details.
"This..." Jing Shuxuan was a bit confused, and Young Master Chen added, "Isn't she new? It's always good to hear from experienced colleagues."
