Chapter 38 The Gorgeous and Flamboyant Man

Facing Xiao Sheng's sudden 'questioning', Dai Muxue, who was sitting in her original place, stammered for a long time but couldn't answer. At this moment, Xiao Sheng had already jumped out of his seat, pressed his arms on the table, and leaned his head in front of hers. Dai Muxue, who was leaning back as hard as she could, looked at him with a frightened expression. She tightly held the pen in her hand, propped it in front of her chest, with the tip of the pen pointing at Xiao Sheng, who was lying there.

"Am I that untrustworthy to you? Relax a bit..." As he spoke, Xiao Sheng stretched out his right hand to push aside the pen tip pointing at him. During this process, the tip of Xiao Sheng's finger 'accidentally' touched the back of her hand, and then he tightly grasped it...

Xiao Sheng's amiable smile deceived Dai Muxue once again. She suddenly stood up and struggled hard, muttering something in a low voice, which were nothing but words like "Let go". Opposite her, Xiao Sheng's right hand was like a pair of pliers, firmly gripping the back of her hand. With a sudden force, her body instantly leaned forward over the table. His left hand then smoothly went around Dai Muxue's waist. Xiao Sheng, almost pressing his ear against hers, repeated again, "Do you care about me?" The magnetic voice lingered in her ears. At this moment, Dai Muxue was extremely embarrassed. The distance between them was too close. She could feel the heat exhaled from his mouth. Her face turned bright red, and her mind went blank for a moment. It was not until she felt her waist being tightly hugged that she came to her senses!

Dai Muxue suddenly lowered her head and this time, like a mad person, tightly bit Xiao Sheng's wrist. The excruciating pain made Xiao Sheng subconsciously release his right hand that was holding her. Raising her head, Dai Muxue glared at Xiao Sheng with gritted teeth. The lip gloss originally on her lips was smeared onto the side of her face during Xiao Sheng's struggle to break free...

The originally supposed office - romance scene didn't develop as Xiao Sheng had imagined. Scarred, Xiao Sheng slunk back to his seat. Fuming with anger, Dai Muxue picked up her makeup bag and rushed to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. From her 'vicious' eyes, Xiao Sheng could easily tell that this time, the uniform - clad lady hated him to the core!

Watching her enchanting figure and the indignant back as she left, Xiao Sheng licked his lips, spread his hands, and said to himself, "There's no pursuit of a girl without getting hurt. I'm determined to win you over..."

After coming back from touching up her makeup, Dai Muxue regained her usual cold and glamorous look. But every time she cast a glance at Xiao Sheng, there was a bit more 'ferocity' and 'evasiveness' in her eyes. Lunch was still the business set meal. Obviously, due to the unexpected price reduction of Chengran International's real - estate projects and the disharmony within Huaxin, Chen Shuyuan had little appetite. The set meal that Dai Muxue had brought in was almost untouched when it was brought out. Xiao Sheng, who was still wolfing down his food and felt it wasn't enough, with his cheeks puffed out, mumbled, "Why didn't she eat?" Regarding Xiao Sheng's question, Dai Muxue shrewdly chose to remain silent and walked straight towards the'small private room'. Xiao Sheng, carrying the leftovers, followed her. Having noticed this, Dai Muxue picked up the knife on the kitchen counter used to peel apples as soon as she entered the small private room. She stared at Xiao Sheng coldly and said viciously, "If you take one more step forward, I'll, I'll..." Dai Muxue's emotions were very intense. Her voice was cold but also tinged with a bit of a sobbing tone...

"Alright, don't get so worked up. I came to ask you something serious. Did Liu Jiming make an issue out of it again at this morning's high - level meeting?" Seeing Xiao Sheng take a few steps back and stand at the door, Dai Muxue, whose emotions had calmed down a bit, steadied herself and replied, "Yes. At today's meeting, Mr. Liu joined several senior executives to pressure Ms. Chen. They attributed Huaxin's recent setbacks to Ms. Chen's improper employment. He proposed the same proposal as yesterday again, to replace several supervisors in important positions. These people were all promoted by Ms. Chen herself..."

"And what was the result?" Xiao Sheng asked seriously.

"Ms. Chen rejected it, but the scene was very heated with arguments. Eventually, under the proposal of Mr. Huang, the two sides were asked to calm down a bit and discuss it again in the afternoon..."

"Damn it. The external environment has nothing to do with the internal affairs of Huaxin. This is just being unreasonable!" Although Xiao Sheng felt indignant for Chen Shuyuan, he was also quite aware that whether in the officialdom or the workplace, every person in a superior position would never miss any opportunity to suppress their opponents. Moreover, Liu Jiming still held the sharp sword of cooperation with the Kawashita Consortium.

Speaking of the sharp sword, Xiao Sheng suddenly thought of something. Didn't he also hold one in his hand? At least, before Huaxin cooperated with the Kawashita Consortium and obtained other financing, the sharp sword in his hand was still intimidating... Thinking of this, an idea popped into Xiao Sheng's mind, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

Then, Xiao Sheng, who turned around and walked towards the bathroom, actually did so to avoid Dai Muxue. He contacted Scout and softly gave him some instructions.

"Boss, what you're doing is illegal..."

"Cut the crap. Hurry up and do it. There's less than an hour until the meeting starts. Be quick. Also, contact AK and ask him to come to my place tonight. There's a mission. I need to give you both instructions face - to - face..."

Somewhat tired, Chen Shuyuan opened the door of her room. Usually, she had the habit of taking a nap, but today she lost her sleepiness. After seeing Chen Shuyuan walk out of the room, Dai Muxue, who had tidied up the documents, followed closely behind her. After the two women left the room, Xiao Sheng took out a proper set of clothes from under the table and quickly ran towards the bathroom.

The afternoon meeting was still a headache for Chen Shuyuan. She clearly knew that Liu Jiming, that old fox, was making an issue out of it, but now, Chen Shuyuan could only rely on her current status to hold him back. However, Liu Jiming's pressing step by step made Chen Shuyuan feel a sense of powerlessness. Especially, the two small shareholders who were on her side in the morning changed their stance in the afternoon, putting Chen Shuyuan completely at a disadvantage...

Just then, the originally closed door was suddenly knocked open. Then, a middle - aged woman dressed as a secretary quickly walked up to Chen Shuyuan, lowered her head, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Jiming, who was sitting at the lower right - hand position of Chen Shuyuan.

"What's so mysterious that you can't say it in front of everyone?" Liu Jiming's behavior was extremely impolite. The secretary looked at Chen Shuyuan beside her in embarrassment. When her eyes met Liu Jiming's sharp gaze, she paused for a moment and said softly, "Ms. Chen, there's a gentleman outside who claims to be the authorized agent of shareholder Chen Shuguo. He asked me to give you this lawyer's letter!" After saying that, the secretary presented a white envelope with both hands. Hearing this, Liu Jiming's face instantly turned ashen. Chen Shuyuan, who was also sitting there, was equally surprised. Without opening the envelope, a young figure couldn't help but emerge in Chen Shuyuan's mind!

"Knock, knock..." Although the door of the meeting room was open, Xiao Sheng, wearing a black suit and gold - rimmed glasses, still politely knocked on the door. In his left hand, he held up a photo frame, and inside the frame was clearly a photo of Chen Shuguo, that is, Chen Shuyuan's father...

With this outfit and the ten - inch photo, Xiao Sheng somehow looked like he was in a funeral procession?
