”Huh? N...No, only really important people can attend...” Xia Shiyu's expression was obviously shaken as her tone changed into a rare franticness.
”Then that's even better.” Jiang Chen smiled.
Hearing that, Xia Shiyu buried her head as her silky, black bangs slightly hid her eyes.
”I, I am someone important to you?”
”Of course,” Jiang Chen answered without hesitation.
As the CEO, Xia Shiyu played a pivotal role in Future Technology's current accomplishments. From the operating of the company to handling crises, Jiang Chen had no experience at all as he left everything to Xia Shiyu.
The technology from the future is indeed powerful, but without the operations of a professional, it would only be a powerful technology.
To Jiang Chen, Xia Shiyu was as crucial as his hands.
But for the word ”important”, the two apparently had two different kinds of interpretation.
When he heard Jiang Chen's ”of course,” Xia Shiyu's face turned redder.
”But...But we haven't even dated, we don't know if we are right for each other, it would be too rushed if we go straight to the last step-”
With arms across her chest, Xia Shiyu looked away. Her finger anxiously played with her own hair, even her pale neck was covered by the red hue.
”Wait, I do not understand...” Jiang Chen immediately interrupted Xia Shiyu with a bitter smile.
Xia Shiyu looked at him and put her arms down.
”Mhmm?”
”Uh, the requirement for the female companion, could you explain it to me...”
Of course, the two had a discrepancy in understanding.
It was okay to bring a female companion, but it must be a wife or at least a fiance. Even a girlfriend wasn't enough. Although there was no written rule, it became the norm.
If a girlfriend or even a mistress could be brought to the gathering, then things could become chaotic. Most of the people participating in the gathering have more than one mistress, with some changing models or actresses every few days. If anyone can be brought into the circle, it would devalue the forum.
In the end, it was a gathering meant for the elites, to find partners beneficial to their career, it was not a fun kind of party.
Therefore, it was inappropriate to invite Xia Shiyu.
”Uh, sorry, I haven't thought about that level,” Jiang Chen apologized, feeling embarrassed.
”It's okay.”
Xia Shiyu let out a breath of relief.
Perhaps it was his illusion, but he sensed that she was slightly disappointed.
”Umm, now that everything is done, I'm going to go back to my office.” Xia Shiyu slightly bowed and turned around to leave.
Looking at her leave, Jiang Chen opened his mouth but he didn't end up saying anything.
When Xia Shiyu came of the office, she headed straight for her own. But when she walked through the hallway, the red hue on her face was seen by her colleagues.
”Eh, CEO Xia just walked out of the president's office.” Seeing Su Mengqi's pouting expression, her good friend Li Fengying poked her arm and joked.
After passing through the probation period, she was moved into the sales department with her good friend. The two were walking to their desk with documents in hand.
”I see,” Su Mengqi replied without any energy.
”Her face is also very red.”
”Woo.”
”Why are you so boring, aren't you curious about what they did?” Li Fengying with a dubious expression whispered into Su Mengqi's ear.
”I am going to tell CEO Xia and have your salary deducted.” Su Mengqi stuck out her finger and ”fiercely” poke her good friend's neck as she whispered.
The two fooled around for a moment more as they walked towards their desk.
