Chapter 35: I’m Going to Put on a Big Show
Tracing her fingers across her cheek, Zhang Xin straightened her posture. She walked out of the break room with a graceful sway.
She did have the capital to drive men crazy; otherwise, Chen Jiamu wouldn’t have transferred money and bought her gifts before getting anything in return.
Now that they had broken up, no one knew. She could continue to act innocent and pure.
If she could hook up with the boss, she could escape her low-level status and climb into the wealthy circle. Then, she’d see who would still look down on her!
Li Qi, who was chatting with Chen Jiamu, was completely unaware of all this.
Checking the time, Li Qi got up, took his phone, and prepared to leave work. As he reached the door and opened it, he almost got hit by someone. Luckily, he dodged quickly; otherwise, he would have been knocked over.
Zhang Xin didn’t expect Li Qi to dodge. She stumbled, falling directly onto the floor…
Bang!
The sound of her landing was sharp, painful just to hear.
Holding her forehead, Zhang Xin’s tears welled up from the pain. She sat up and looked at Li Qi pitifully, “Boss…”
Zhang Xin was wearing a square-necked dress, and with her movements, the scenery beneath her neckline was faintly visible.
A striking cleavage was truly eye-catching. Such a tempting scene would make most people unable to resist helping the beauty up and gently holding her in their arms…
But the man she was trying to seduce was Li Qi…
“You don’t knock before entering the office. Is that how Qian Chengfeng teaches his subordinates?”
“Also, you’re inappropriately dressed for work. Fifty yuan deduction!”
Li Qi looked down at her indifferently, without the slightest bit of tenderness.
Li Qi’s attitude was like a bucket of cold water, chilling Zhang Xin to the bone…
Ignoring her embarrassment, fearing that others would see her humiliated, she endured her grievance and quickly got up.
“I’m sorry, I…”
“I just sprained my ankle and accidentally fell in… I didn’t mean to.”
A beautiful woman crying is captivating, and with Zhang Xin’s stunning looks, it was indeed alluring.
However, Li Qi didn’t have the patience to watch her performance. He glanced at her with disgust, closed the office door, and left without mercy.
Leaving Zhang Xin alone to perform this one-woman show…
…
How could this be?
Li Qi left, and Zhang Xin forgot to cry. Standing at the office door, her mind went blank. This tactic didn’t work on Li Qi?
Was he even a man?
Or did he not like her?
Then whose new office space was it?
The next day, Chen Jiamu woke up early. He even did his hair, making him look even more handsome and charming.
After pouring some cat food for the kitten, he slowly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, downstairs, he met Li Qi, who was going to the company.
“You’re dressed up so handsomely today. Are you going to slap their faces?”
“It’s ten o’clock, and you, the boss, aren’t at the company yet?”
Li Qi sat in the car, smirking, then pretended to be profound and raised a finger. “I’m the boss, so it’s never too late for me to go to the company.”
“Six.”
Chen Jiamu admired him, raising his thumb. He checked the time and looked at Li Qi’s car. He decided to hitch a ride. “Since you haven’t gone to the company yet, I’ll ride with you.”
He didn’t care whether Li Qi agreed or not, pulling open the passenger seat and sitting down.
“If you find it inconvenient to take a taxi, I’ll just get you a car?”
“Or you can drive mine.”
As soon as he got into the passenger seat, Chen Jiamu rolled down the window. Only after Li Qi finished speaking did he calmly raise his index finger and gently shake it. “For the safety of myself and others, this motion-sick person will continue to take a taxi or ride a bike.”
“Sorry, I forgot you get carsick.”
The car drove slowly on the road. Chen Jiamu’s words reminded him that he did get carsick.
No wonder he didn’t even have a car when he was in Beicheng. Other rich kids had countless luxury cars and beautiful women. Only Chen Jiamu rode his six-figure bicycle around the streets…
He didn’t fit in with those rich kids who were lost in the pleasures of life. No wonder he hadn’t seen any other friends around Chen Jiamu…
Just a bunch of low-level underlings.
Speaking of underlings, Li Qi suddenly remembered Zhao Hu, the big, simple-minded guy.
“Hey, you came to Su City, where’s your underling?”
“The big guy whose name is Zhao… Hu.”
This Zhao Hu, their thoughts went back to the summer of their eighteenth year…
“Oh, after graduation, I had my sister arrange a job for him.”
“He’s a respectable person now.”
After Li Qi left, Zhao Hu also dropped out of Chengda University because of family reasons and idled away his time at a wild university outside.
After graduation, the two met at a coffee shop; Li Qi was there for coffee, and Zhao Hu was working as a barista.
Zhao Hu’s mother was seriously ill, and Zhao Hu worked hard to ease the family’s burden. After Li Qi found out, he had Chen Cheng arrange a job for him.
He also paid for his mother’s medical treatment. Later, he heard that his mother didn’t survive.
“That’s good.”
As they talked, they arrived at the company building. Looking at the receptionist downstairs, Chen Jiamu excitedly rubbed his hands together. “Next, it’s my turn to put on a big show!”
“Hahahaha!”
Thinking of everyone thinking he was fired, but he was back, he wondered what their expressions would be.
“You don’t need to put on a show, you’re a big shot yourself.”
As the only son of the Chen family, Chen Jiamu’s identity alone was something ordinary people couldn’t reach in their entire lives.
Ordinary people work their whole lives just to reach someone else’s starting point.
He understood this better than anyone. If it weren’t for Song Jin, his life would have ended in that dark alley.
There wouldn’t be a Li Qi in this world…
Sometimes, fate just isn’t something you can control.
“Let’s not talk, I’m going upstairs to slap some faces.”
Chen Jiamu waved his hand, impatiently got out of the car, and walked proudly into the building he’d been away from for three days.
Seeing his excited expression, Li Qi just smiled indulgently.
Company’s Technical Department.
Qian Chengfeng was laughing and chatting with Li Kui in the manager’s office.
“Manager, that kid is gone. When will you give me the bonus you promised?”
“I’m a little short on cash lately…”
“No problem, it’ll be in your account with this month’s salary.” Qian Chengfeng pushed up his glasses and readily agreed.
“That kid is gone, get ready, you’ll be the head of the evaluation team in two days.”
Hearing what he wanted, Li Kui’s face was about to melt into a smile. His already chubby face now made it hard to see his eyes. “Oh, great!”
“Manager Qian, the boss wants you to come over!”
The two were having fun when a sound suddenly came from the door. Qian Chengfeng didn’t think much of it and got up to leave.
Li Kui also left the office. As he was about to return to his workstation, he saw Chen Jiamu smiling and waving at him…
