2 Chapter 2 : God Hongqis Charity 1 (1/2)
Xiulan's attention was glued to her laptop and the keyboard kept creating loud tick tacking sounds ever since she arrived in the office that late afternoon. All her employees and even her secretary were shocked when they saw her two hours before the employees' dismissal.
Xiulan's expression were both cold and irritated when she arrived in her company. Though she has an aura of a pissed person but she still managed to greet them with a lazy smile.
When Xiulan sat on her office chair, her secretary Wang Dandan, immediately reported to her. While Dandan talks, Xiulan can only nod and meekly agreed to the things she says. Dandan found it really suspicious that her boss is really inexplicably quiet today.
”Something might have happened when she met the old man Song earlier.” Dandan thought.
Originally, Xiulan doesn't talk that much in the first place. Even though she is quiet, it was not awkward like now. She has an aloof personality but would still respond if someone tries to talk to her. Xiulan is actually friendly, she's just naturally quiet.
Right now, all Xiulan can do is nod and hum to Dandan's report.
Dandan went back to her seat. After a few minutes, all the employees went to her side and bombarded her with questions regarding their beautiful aloof boss.
”What happened to our beautiful madam? It's my first time seeing her pissed off.” one of the female employees said.
”It is very rare to see her like that. She might have a poker face 24/7 but I prefer that than seeing her with a different expression. They said that the most quiet and kindest people are very scary to anger.” another female employee said.
”True! She went somewhere awhile ago right? She was in the office so early in the morning then she went somewhere after lunch. Someone might have offended her or something.” an employee added.
The female employees kept on chatting about their boss when Dandan suddenly spoke.
”All of you should stop gossiping. Boss is still human, of course she still has her bad days. Obviously something happened and it's not our business to know the cause. All of you should go back to work.” Dandan coldly scolded the female employees.
The female employees nodded and immediately dispersed and went back to their respective cubicles.
Dandan sighed and looked at her boss' door. She was worried. She hoped that her boss could overcome whatever hurdle she's currently in. Xiulan is a smart woman, she believes that her boss can overcome anything.
While inside Xiulan's office, she can actually hear the ruckus outside but she preferrs to ignore it and put all her attention on her laptop.
Actually, Xiulan's attention is both on her laptop and on the events that happened two hours ago.
”Miss Xiulan is a person with few words? I like that.” Hongqi's deep voice resonated on her thoughts. His voice was really charming and seductive.
But what caught Xiulan's attention was that dirty grin on his face and the double meaning in his words. It's like he's insinuating something. If this is another woman, they might have blushed.
Xiulan thought that this man has an outstanding talent in wooing a woman and also a great talent in pissing her off. She suddenly felt disrespected but she chose to be quiet and not attack him.
She never lose her cool and she rarely meet people like him since she's very cautious in meeting and talking to different people. That's why Xiulan felt that talking to this person will need a huge amount of energy. She doesn't know anymore if this is a casual talk or he's indirectly trying to offend her.
”I'm just very shy right now, Young Master Hongqi.” Xiulan nervously said and faintly smiled at him.
Hongqi's eyebrows raised. ”Oh? Is that so.” Hongqi said before sipping some water. While drinking, he can't remove his grin. Dirty thoughts have flooded his head.
”Since we are getting married. It's fine not to be shy to me. Let's always meet to remove this tension.” Hongqi suggested and stared at Xiulan's eyes.
Hongqi has this friendly and easy going aura. He kept teasing Xiulan and made some uncomfortable flirting throughout their meeting. His eyes were glued on Xiulan's face and it made her really awkward.
For Song Yingpei, he was really happy with this development. He thought that Hongqi will be a difficult person when he meets Xiulan. It was like a huge block was removed from his heart when he saw how their conversation went smoothly.
He was worried that Xiulan, who is naturally quiet, and Hongqi will have a hard time conversing.
Whenever Yingpei met and pestered Hongqi for two years, the powerful youngster was always very cold and indifferent. He's also quite cruel. He understands that he's a powerful man and would always put a wall.
That's why Yingpei expected that this meeting might not be a success at first and he would try his best that the next meeting will progressed.
But Hongqi suddenly became very friendly and talkative. Yingpei thought that Xiulan must have attracted and got Hongqi's attention that's why there was a sudden change in his attitude. His heart was on cloud nine again just by thinking that.
Yingpei was extremely happy with this development. Hongqi even acknowledge that he'll get married soon. Yingpei felt like he won a lottery. He always wanted the best for Xiulan and Hongqi is the best person for Xiulan.
Yingpei was aware that Hongqi has a quite number of women out there. But Yingpei thought that his daughter is the best, she can change a man like Hongqi. The old Song was 100% sure that Xiulan can change Hongqi.
The meeting ended and Hongqi left first since he still has a flight going to Singapore. Hongqi even gave a hug to Xiulan and stole a kiss on her forehead before he disappeared.
