Liva Branch.
Xu Shi stood by the elevator on the top floor, straightening his clothes while keeping his eyes fixed on the president's private elevator.
"Ding-"
The elevator doors opened.
Xu Shi instantly composed himself and went up to greet him, holding several documents in his arms.
"President Song~"
He flashed a sweet smile.
Without his glasses, his peach-blossom eyes, curved inward at the inner corners and tilted up at the outer corners, lifted slightly. His pretty, delicate face was especially alluring.
Song Zhixing immediately sensed trouble and instinctively backed away several steps. "What do you want?"
All this unprompted flattery.
Something was very wrong.
"Hehe..." Xu Shi blinked. "My birthday is next Thursday. I'd like to invite you and everyone else out for drinks after work, President Song."
"Everyone else" referred solely to Xie Yanci.
"You're inviting me to your birthday?" Song Zhixing was a little overwhelmed by the honor. "We're not that close, are we?"
"!"
Song Zhixing understood.
Could the man whose love Xie Yanci couldn't win be interested in him?
He really was charming.
At that thought, Song Zhixing cleared his throat, leisurely adjusted his suit, and struck another "I'm so handsome" pose.
Xu Shi: "..."
What a nutcase.
How can he spread his peacock tail at absolutely anyone?
Watch out, or I'll tell Xie Yanci on you!
Xu Shi felt rather repulsed, but he dared not show it. He smiled ingratiatingly. "President Song, anyone we've talked to is a friend. You have to remember to come."
He even added, "You can bring a friend along, too."
Bring Xie Yanci along.
That was what Xu Shi had been getting at all along.
Song Zhixing understood.
After all that beating around the bush, he suddenly felt like laughing. "What, did you and Xie Yanci have a fight?"
