60 Chapter 60 : Choosing The Company Representative (2/2)
There's this bothering feeling inside her right now that she can't explain. An annoying emotion.
”Han Meili and Gu Jia Shu... I wonder why Hongqi left them if they were incredible women...” Xiulan mumbles while her eyes are still firmly shut.
The door in her office suddenly opens and Secretary Dandan came in. She marched towards her boss and firmly gave her opinion ”I think we should stick with Qiao Chunhua.”
Xiulan eyed Secretary Dandan in surprise while she sat on her presidential chair. ”Is it because she's not an ex of my husband?” Xiulan innocently asked but it quite gave a tone that she was being sarcastic.
”Eh?! Of course not. I think she is a good choice since she's a relative of one of our long time employee and add that she works under your big sister's company. This will be a nice opportunity to create a noise that our company will not use anyone from your husband's company just because you are married to him.” Secretary Dandan explained.
Xiulan didn't understand the motive. She has a lot of question marks in her face. ”Please elaborate, I don't really get your point.”
”Boss, I am not sure if you are aware of this but the online community has been waiting for the collaboration of our company with your husband's company. They were expecting that any time soon Mrs. Xing might ask help from her husband. I think it's kind of sexist of them to think like this. Also, this is also a win-win situation since your sister is a female CEO. We never collaborated with a male CEO right?” Dandan further explained. They are not a feminist company but they just want to continue what they are famous of.
”I see... you are right.” Xiulan silently agrees to Dandan's proposition. By this way, they can be consistent to what they are famous of. Add that she didn't have to work with Hongqi's exes.
”Please report this to the marketing team and start contacting Miss Qiao Chunhua.” Xiulan ordered to Secretary Dandan. Her face brightened for some reason. She's was slightly feeling elated that she didn't have to collaborate with any of Hongqi's ex-lovers anymore. She found a good excuse not to contact them.
She can't believe that she's bitter and jealous about them. Gosh, what a petty emotion. She never wanted to be like this, ever.
She sighed contemptuously again when Secretary Dandan left. This is not good. Is she still the old Xiulan? She's becoming petty over small things.
”I hate this. I am not this kind of person.” she bitterly mumbles while her small hands balls into a fist.

Inside the tall tower of Hongqi's company at the presidential suite, Hongqi's inside a separated room full of large HD monitors. He silently watches the stock market in one monitor, on the other the trending topics in Weibo and other local Chinese social media, in another monitor are international social medias like Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.
Hongqi pulled out his phone from his pockets and called the head of the Social Media marketing team. ”We'll be releasing a new music video in 5 hours. Make sure the team will monitor the amount of views we get per hour.If we reached the desired quota per hour, we can release a practice video or behind the scenes.”
”Noted, young master.” the social media marketing head affirmed.
Hongqi ended the call and went outside the separated room. He sat on his presidential chair and started reading this big proposal for the Song family business.
Ever since he got married to Xiulan, he's the one controlling the Song family business. The old Song Yingpei gave him all the right to control it. Xiulan's not aware of this.
Though the company is still under the name of Song Yingpei, Hongqi has a huge share in it the company which makes him wealthier and more powerful.
Hongqi thought that the old Song was too trusting to him. He finds it stupid to be honest. But even though he found the old Song to be gullible, he's not that evil enough to sabotage the company.
He doesn't have any enmity towards the Song family anyway. He's just here to make a lot of money, broaden his power and use the Song name.
But he never thought that his relationship with his wife, the youngest daughter of Song Yingpei, could affect his heart. He's not sure if this is what they call love but she's very important to him. By far, she's more important than his father right now.

Before, he only wanted to control and prosper the company for his selfish sake and to continue acting like he cares about the Song company. But now that Xiulan is deeply important to him, he wanted to make sure that the company prospers so Xiulan's attention will be on him. Praising him, loving him, thanking him.
He became thirsty over her attention especially that she's always busy. Her attention is divided to a lot of things like family and friends, her own IT company, government related jobs and him. How many percent of attention left for him when she's so busy?
During his single days, he hated women that would always give their attention to him. Now that he got married to a woman like Xiulan, he badly wants her attention like a needy child.
Now that he finds out that she needs an actress as a representative for her company, he must make use of this chance. He will lend her the most popular actress he currently have.
Hongqi's dark planning got interrupted when Secretary Yang Bo suddenly came inside the office.
”Young master, according to our intel, the madame decided to pick someone from her big sister's company.” Secretary Yang Bo reported and handed him a document that contains the artist Qiao Chunhua's profile
”What?” Hongqi glowered and angrily took the document. He browsed the file and irritably threw it in front of him. ”What was the reason?” he probed.
”Uhm... according to the report. The other choices might be distasteful for the madame's liking. We didn't have any representative to create suggestions so this has brought bad news for us. Apparently, a huge number of madame's staff are a huge fan of our artists. Most of them suggested an artist of ours but they blurted out the wrong names.” Secretary Yang Bo tried his best to explain and a cold sweat started to form in his back.
”Please just straight to the point. If the staff recommended an artist from our company, so why didn't she pick any of them?” Hongqi impatiently ordered.
Secretary Yang Bo cleared his throat before continuing. ”The staff recommended Han Meili and Gu Jia Shu. Currently, those two are very popular to young adults and office ladies because of their impeccable fashion and beauty. We all know that those two were your former flings. This news has reached your wife.” Secretary Yang Bo bravely explained.
Hongqi unbelievably stared at Secretary Yang Bo.Did he heard that right? Han Meili and Gu Jia Shu?
The side of Hongqi's mouth twitched. He's not sure if he should do extreme measures to fire those people who suggested those two actresses' names. He has a lot of better female talents in his company yet they really have to pick those two.
”Someone's sabotaging my relationship with my wife, huh?” he darkly asked.
”...” Yang Bo's not sure what to reply. Why his boss suddenly thought of that? ”Is his narcissistic side reaching its limits?” He secretly thought.
”Please make sure to punish those two staff who recommended the names. No need to fire them but maybe scare them a little.” Hongqi sighed and he relaxed on his seat. He's really angry whoever decided to blurt those names and leak his relationship with them.
”But wait.... that means she got jealous?” Hongqi excitedly thought. His mouth created a sweet grin.
Secretary Yang Bo watches his boss who just made multiple expressions in just span of minutes. He's not sure if his boss is still sane or naturally abnormal.
