Chapter 3 (2/2)

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you” Lowering her body, she whispers next to him

This tih “Hey hey, I should be the one to say that line!”

Her back facing hi Looks like she really only sees hiic

Then again… whatever, his crisis is starting to turn around!

5with the Vice President Jiang Xu Hua and their four assistants and secretaries, walk into the conference roo is a soes, but coers, no one would place the boss and shareholders are even larger!

The first ti, they’ll always be too scared to be of any use To complete a full report for her to use as a reference is already very ad doesn’t expect Xu He Jun toher dohen it’s her turn to present

When it co ‘minority’ female executive, she already expects to be shot down But ould have thought, she’d be able to kick back all the questions fro to watch her ’s included in the o home and do more research! Even the questions she can’t instantly ansere saved thanks to the notes Xu He Jun quickly scribbles

This brat really isn’t as easy to handle as he looks

What do you want to eat for lunch? He passes over a note enquiring

Huang Shang Rong isher brows into a frown — I have overtime today

Not giving up, Xu He Jun continues to persist

Taking another piece of paper from behind her, she starts to hesitate She should tell his, but this thin piece of paper is truly too te!

Flipping it open, she reads what’s inside —- Sa He’s allocated the entire coht him, eliminate him!

This guy! Is he attending a e?

For the sake of her infant care plan, Huang Shang Rong had spent a lot of ti swords with others, towards those conservative types…

Ah, no, that’s to say that circular conversation ale and point at her opponents’ face, hollering at them! Thankfully, Xu He Jun had ai her to calu term development’, based on evidence of female employee contributions, productivity, etc

Huang Shang Rong leans to retrieve the note Xu He Jun passes, s

“The Vice President should know that Kai Shou, from the entire company, down to each branch, has more than 500 e up more than half of the company Of those, more than 200 are married…”

Xu He Jun, this brat, where’d he even find all these numbers?

“According to an anonye, women’s loyalty and dedication towards their work is directly proportional to the co maternity support, not only will they be able to attractanother kick at her chair, she continues to add “Whether it’s married wo a company, talented female workers will take our company’s welfare system as one of their considerations”

Currently the eyebrows on a large proportion of h chance of accepting it

“Of course, if we can implement the system, it’s not like we’d overlook the contributions of ht up by both parents If male workers also require our support in this area, then it’s only reasonable for us to provide it”

“Preposterous, in ay is this reasonable?” A shareholder jumps up in protest, “A company isn’t a child care, how can you let little children just run around the company?”

“The child care centre naturally has age restrictions, and will only accept those under 2 Most people would find this acceptable”

“Spending our money on children, do you think we’re fools?”

Just as Huang Shang Rong is about to rage again, Xu He Jun kicks her chair, stuffing another note into her hand

“Children are the future leaders of our country Not only the children of our honoured guests, but also those of Kai Shou’s employees Not to mention, most of the fees will be paid by those who use the services, as well as through government subsidies I believe the shareholders won’t need to be too concerned over this matter”

Jiang Xu Hua discusses with the special assistants sitting behind hi to approve He looks towards Huang Shang Rong, as well as the slyly ser’s idea sounds feasible Why don’t we have you test it out over a 6 oes”

“Thank you, Vice President”

“Oh yes! It’s been established!”

Once they reach the parking lot, Huang Shang Rong enthusiastically hugs Xu He Jun, yelling out “Yes!”

Co party, she’s even more excited

“How can you be so delighted?” He lightly shtly calmer, she would’ve realized his reaction was somewhat abnormal

“Of course I’hted Think about it, froe part of your nanny expense, Hao Hao will also be looked after closer to you Not to ues, like Shon, and Bell fronant and deliberating over this issue, fearing that if they take maternity leave, they won’t have a job to return to But now, not only can they continue peacefully working, they’ll also be able to save on expenses, how convenient! Are you saying you aren’t pleased?”

Actually it’s not that he isn’t pleased, but that he already knew it’d pass Standing before him, how could his old randson wanted to open a day care to attend, ould dare oppose?

Although, these things can’t bethis delicate period Naturally it’s so he can’t do…

“Of course I’ with the corners of his mouth “Then to celebrate the success of our plan, today I’ll treat you to dinner!”

“No need!” Huang Shang Rong refuses without even thinking “You currently need to raise Hao Hao, be more thrifty with your money”

“How can you say it like that” He grins, “Haven’t we just saved on nanny expenses?”

“Even like this you want to celebrate? In the future, there’ll still be a lot more difficulties in store, you can’t always think of ways to spend your money…”

“It’s only one !”

“But…”

“Ah, alright! It’s fine if you don’t come, I’ll just celebrate with Hao Hao!” He pitifully walks away “Meeting such a good development, if Hao Hao’s mother were here, she’d definitely celebrate it with him It’s only because I don’t knoho she is, that I’d even seek out this Godet it, in the future we, father and son, will celebrate by ourselves!”

Eh, what’s going on? This is just an act of desperation right? Isn’t the trap too obvious? Huang Shang Rong clearly knows it’s just a feint, but she still falls into his trap

“Alright, alright!” She rushes ahead, pulling his hand “You’re really tooso pitiful, I really don’t knohat to do with you, I’ll come!”

When Xu He Jun hears, he turns his head back with a smile, “No overtime today?”

Thinking carefully, “Mnn, it’s not anything big, just wanted to tidy up the things fro it to your place to do, and you can even help s”

If it weren’t for his good upbringing, his expression would collapse in an instant

“You should let yourself relax a little!”

Huang Shang Rong looks at him quizzically, “I’m very relaxed!”

“Don’t you know highly stressed out people, often don’t know that they’re stressed?”

“Stop joking! I know my body best”

“But you frequently have headaches”

“That’s…” Huang Shang Rong’s face pales, stuttering as she speaks, “That’s … I’ve been like that since young, it has nothing to do with stress”

Xu He Jun lectures her out of concern, “If you’ve been like this since young, you need to take even h pressure often experience headaches You’re not young anymore, so shouldn’t you be even more careful?

What? To think he’d bring her age into this! “No,to do with pressure In fact, as long as you obediently come to work, my head won’t hurt at all”

“What?” How did she draw this conclusion? Xu He Jun stops to stare at her “What does this have to do with me?”

“Because you’re my assistant!” She states confidently “If you’re not here, how s do you think I’ll need to sort out? Don’t you know, like this, how could my head not hurt?”

“So… in taking a week off, I’ve caused you a lot of headaches?”

“Obviously!” Her headaches had made her want to murder someone!

To think she’d be this hopeless without him…

Xu He Jun sether behind his back as he walks

“Why are you s?”

“Guess” His mouth bursts into a smile so wide, that his eyes turn into crescents

Reviewing their previous conversation, she asks, filled with suspicion, “Have you ?”

“What did Iback, Xu He Jun’s face is full of smiles

Seeing his bea squints at hiue After all, he’s only her assistant! Not to er than her by a full 4 years, what does she have to be flustered over?

“If it’s nothing, then forget it” Restraining her anger, she rushes to overtake him

“A feords and you’re already angry?” He blatantly places his hand on her shoulder

This move is clearly inti together shoulder to shoulder, but him and her? Not only are they subordinate and superior, not to e, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to be like this…

“Let go!” She coldly breezes, eyeing the hand on her shoulder

Xun He Jun raises an eyebrow, becoood? I’ you as a friend”

“We’re at the company”

“To think even someone known as the fe it like that, his hand is still placed on her shoulder, with no intention ofit

Nohat? This guy will act fa doesn’t speak, nor does she move his hand away

Actually, it’s not that she hates this action, since he’s only placing a hand on her shoulder Watching hi, she knows he doesn’t have any other intentions, not to irl, whose heart beats rapidly just because he’s close However, with her principles and her personality, at this tie at him, or toss him aside

Yet she doesn’t do any of these

“Ok, Ok” It’s actually Xu He Jun who voluntarily releases his hold, ju a metre away “It’s still within the company If you don’t want me to stay close, I won’t Don’t be mad”

Huang Shang Rong wrinkles her brow She truly wasn’tat?

He suddenly leans towards her, al so fast she doesn’t even have tie “But, later on in private, this should be fine!”

This, this guy, what is he up to now? Her face lacks any expression, only giving away how shocked she is by the wide eyes staring at him

“You haven’t replied, then it should be considered as consenting!”His voice falls low, appearing pleased with her reaction, turning towards her with a wryly grin

“Depends on the situation”

Getting in the car, Huang Shang Rong sits in the driver’s seat, yet Xu He Jun actually crawls into the back, re back onto the seats

“So tired, I stayed up til half past 3 yesterday preparing the research material Let me nap a bit and wake me e arrive at the office”

Huang Shang Rong knows, that to be able to prepare all the data, and answers for all the questions, he would’ve spent a lot of effort She turns off the sound, as well as the aircon, even taking out a blanket from the boot of the car for him

“Ah—- Good, good! Such a large back seat, and such a large car, I also want to buy one in the future” Clutching at the blanket, although a grown man can’t roll around in the back seat, but to be able to find a h

Looking at his satisfied expression through her rear view mirror, she fails to hold back her smile, “Idiot!”

“Generalhis eyes, Xu He Jun notices the scent on the blanket is the saine if his body wasn’t covered by the blanket, but rather her… Suddenly, he’s filled with anticipation

“What are you doing?”

“Actually,… you’re really good at looking after people! In your faht?”

“How did you know? You…” Huang Shang Rong turns back, wanting to retort, when she sees him with his head already tilted, and half his face covered by the blanket, preparing to rest

A slight stubble extends from the base of his ears to his chin She purses her lips, not wanting to open her eyes From the rear view e

She forces herself to blink Was her heartbrat With just a feeet lines and he wants to impress her? Who does he think she is?

She’s the fe

She’s already decided whether or not she wants to find someone, not to mention she’s also decided her heart won’t be moved in this lifetie her tune for the sake of a relationshi+p

She doesn’t knohy Xu He Jun’s attitude towards her would change so le for the rest of her life, and won’t enter into a vague relationshi+p with a man…

Especially not him
