37 Chapter 37 (1/2)
Chen Kai did not search for Su Le again. Su Le also did not search for him to bring herself trouble. But she intentionally hid this from her mother and did not tell her anything about the meeting. Thinking about her mother, who was currently on a holiday, Su Le did not want such a thing to affect her mother's mood.
The plan of the collaboration between BaiSheng and JinChu was pretty much complete. Su Le relaxed a little. All that was left were the economic conditions and the company's benefits. Su Le couldn't make a decision regarding those things so she passed the project back to general manager, Jiang Ting, for her make a decision instead. Meanwhile, she only needed to check the project's plan.
For the past few days, Su Le did not go to JinChu. Instead, she remained at BaiSheng to deal with a few matters. Sometimes, after she had left work, she would have dinner or watch a movie with Wei Chu. It felt pretty good. She did not want her life to be like how dramas played out with many twists and turns. She preferred letting nature take its course.
”Su Le, come to my office for a bit,” Jiang Ting had just returned to the office and she was holding a few folders in her hand. When she walked towards Su Le, Jiang Ting hesitated before calling Su Le to follow her.
Su Le's heart thumped and she assumed that there was a problem with the plan in the collaboration with JinChu. She was no longer in the mood to ponder about what she should eat for lunch.
After following Jiang Ting to go into her office, Su Le didn't receive the criticism she expected to get. Instead, she was praised, so the unsettling feeling in Su Le's heart calmed down. Then, she sat down and waited for Jiang Ting to reach her main point.
”For the past few weeks, I have been searching for an assistant, but there wasn't anyone suitable. If you don't mind, could you be my assistant for a fixed period of time?” Jiang Ting did not conceal the appreciation she had for Su Le, ”You are able to work well. I hope you can learn more things from me and perhaps in the future, there will be a suitable position for you in BaiSheng.”
Su Le hadn't thought that she would be recognised by her superior, so when she heard Jiang Ting say such things, Su Le found herself feeling somewhat embarrassed. But she did understand that it was a good opportunity for her to develop in the future. ”Thank you, general manager.”
Jiang Ting was very satisfied with Su Le's attitude and nodded, ”You can move to the assistant's office next to mine to work. Although that office is a little small, it will belong to you alone.”
”I understand. Thank you, general manager.” Su Le was deeply thankful to Jiang Ting. After all, she and Jiang Ting didn't actually see or talk to each other often, so Su Le, who just joined the workforce for about a year, felt very fortunate to have Jiang Ting be willing to teach and guide her.
”There's no need for thanks. I just require one thing from you which is that you work hard and study well and be a competent assistant.” Jiang Ting smiled a little and closed the file in her hands and said, ”You can now go and move your things into your new office. I hope we can work well together in the future.” After speaking, she took out a key from her drawer and passed it to Su Le. ”This is your office's key.”
”Thank you.” Su Le took the keys with both hands. Her palms were slightly hot. Suppressing her excitement, Su Le expressed her thanks again before preparing to leave but Jiang Ting stopped her.
”Su Le, do you … know someone called Tan Wei?” Jiang Ting suddenly asked.
”Tan Wei?” Su Le did not recognise this unfamiliar name. She looked at Jiang Ting, puzzled, not sure if this person was related to her in any way. ”What's wrong with this person?”
Seeing that Su Le was confused, Jiang Ting paused for a second. ”So you don't know her. Well, there's nothing wrong. It's just that in the past few days, when I went to JinChu, I noticed that her relationship with JinChu's CEO was not bad. I thought you knew her.”
”So it's because of that.” Su Le smiled as she left Jiang Ting's office. Su Le was clear of Jiang Ting's personality. She was not someone who would try to manipulate people's thoughts. Also, Su Le knew that Jiang Ting could pretty much guess what relationship she had with Wei Chu. So for Jiang Ting to mention this Tan Wei's relationship with Wei Chu, was she trying to tell Su Le to take notice of this person?
Su Le was very clear that Wei Chu was quite attractive, so having other women like him was not something difficult to understand. She put down her phone, which she had just taken out. Even if she asked about it now and tested the waters, it would be of no use. If a man wanted to cheat, then it didn't matter if the woman cried or made a fuss.
It was better to treat this as a test to see if Wei Chu was truly sincere or if he would waver when there were other outstanding women in front of him.
—————-
Under her colleagues' envious gazes, Su Le packed her things and moved them into her office. Very soon, it was time for her to leave work and at this moment, Su Le's phone started to ring.
It was from Wei Chu. He told her to wait for him at JinChu to leave together. Su Le did not refuse and lifted her handbag and set off to JinChu. Once she entered JinChu, she greeted the people she knew. There were two people who, intentionally or not, mentioned about a Miss Tan.
Su Le smiled as she entered the lift and pressed the button to the floor she wanted. Only when the lift doors closed did Su Le's smile gradually fade away. With so many people mentioning Tan Wei, as well as looking at her with worried glances, it was obvious that there was really something going on with Wei Chu and this Tan Wei. The only question was whether this 'something' was just one sided or did involve both parties in question.
When Su Le reached the floor of the CEO's office, no one tried to obstruct her and she did not recklessly enter into the CEO's office straight away. Instead, she walked towards the window and looked outside. The view seemed real yet fake at the same time.
”Su Le, what are you doing standing out here? The boss is waiting for you in his office.” When Chen Xu saw Su Le, it was obvious that he was happy to see her. It looked like he didn't have anything to hide or had a guilty conscience. While he was facing her, he was also knocking on the office's door, ”Boss, Miss Su has arrived.”
The door quickly opened. It was Wei Chu who opened the door and Su Le could see from his eyes that he was happy. There wasn't any guilt or worry expressed on his expression. Su Le also saw another woman standing behind him.
