42 Chapter 42 (1/2)
The company that Tan Wei was involved with had successfully signed a contract with BaiSheng. Su Le did not interfere with this collaboration, and Tan Wei also did not let Su Le participate in the matter either.
Su Le knew Tan Wei was helping her. Although Jiang Ting didn't know if there was any animosity between them, in others' eyes, Su Le and Tan Wei were rivals in love. Since Tan Wei was the representative for her company in the collaboration and Su Le was just a minor assistant, it would be for the best if Su Le did not participate anyway.
”Xiao Le, the data from the sales department are out. Our new product has received a pretty good reaction from the market.” Jiang Ting entered Su Le's office with a smile of her face. ”The plan that you and JinChu have come up with is very successful.”
”Does that mean I will get a larger bonus this year?” Su Le leaned away from the computer and saw a distinct smile on Jiang Ting's face. ”Sister Jiang, did something good happen that made you so happy?”
”Of course.” Jiang Ting placed the data down on Su Le's desk. ”The company is planning to take us to the famous mountain Fo in the neighbouring city to relax this week. All expenses will be covered. I also heard that there will a another company joining us as well.” When she finished speaking, an ambiguous smile crept onto her face.
Su Le missed it though since she did not look at Jiang Ting. Instead, Su Le was looking down as she typed. ”A free holiday. Of course, it's a good thing.”
Jiang Ting spoke with Su Le for little longer before heading back to her own office. Her relationship with Su Le had become much more intimate over a collection of autographed books. Things like gifts were always a good way to deepen a relationship.

On Saturday morning, Su Le stood at the door of the coach that her company had hired. Her face twitched. She discovered that the coach, which could seat about 40 people, was already half full and they were all people from the other company. Meanwhile, the boss of that company was smiling radiantly at her. Also, there was a pile of snacks by his side that were all from brands that she enjoyed eating.
Su Le suddenly found herself in a predicament as everyone's sight fell onto her. She didn't feel good since she felt like she had suddenly became an animal attraction in a zoo.
”Su Le, why are you frozen? Are you not going to get on?” Jiang Ting smiled as she asked.
Su Le boarded the coach with a twisted expression. Meanwhile, behind her, many of her colleagues were expressing their interest in the other company that was going with them on their trip.
”I heard that we are going with JinChu for the trip. I don't know if we can see JinChu's CEO as well though. I heard that their CEO is very handsome.”
”Don't even think about it. I heard that he already has a girlfriend …”
Su Le heard those two sentences just before she got onto the coach. She suddenly felt very pressurized.
Su Le sat down at the opposite aisle by the window. Before she could even settle into a comfortable position, someone had already come and sat down beside her with the snacks.
”Didn't you have something to do today?” Su Le looked at Wei Chu with a half-smile and carried on, ”The 'something to do' was going on a holiday?”
”I just wanted to give you a surprise.” Wei Chu smiled while handing a packet of chocolate to Su Le, ”This is a chocolate that you like.”
”Don't think that you can use chocolate to make up for your lie,” Su Le said as she accepted the chocolate. After opening the packaging and taking a bite, she hesitated while she glanced at the smiling man next to her before asking, ”Do you want a piece?”
”Sure,” Wei Chu smiled and leaned closer to Su Le. Before Su Le could respond, Wei Chu ate some of the chocolate that Su Le was holding. Then, he lifted his head and smiled again, ”The taste is really good.”
Su Le stared at the chocolate in her hand that had a corner missing. She stuffed the rest into Wei Chu's hand and said, ”Since you like it, then finish the rest of it.” Seriously, this man appeared to be so elegant and graceful but why was he so thick-skinned?
