Chapter 260 - 260 Too Arrogant!
260 Too Arrogant!
**
The next day, Saturday morning.
When Xu Mingzhi arrived at the company in the morning, she noticed that the people around her were looking at her strangely.
All of them were smiling mischievously, and she wondered what they were plotting.
Xu Mingzhi strode to her office with a serious expression. She pushed open the door and realized why those people were smiling.
At this moment, her desk, which was usually filled with documents, had a large bouquet of fiery red roses on it.
“…”
No one had dared to give her such a girly thing!
Behind her, a few heads stuck out from behind the door.
“Someone sent flowers to the CEO~~”
“I wonder which boss dares to pursue our CEO!”
“Well, our CEO is irresistible~~”
Xu Mingzhi cast a cold glance at them, and they quickly turned away and returned to their desks.
Wei Wei entered the office and closed the door for her.
Xu Mingzhi stared at the bouquet of flowers for a few seconds and suddenly said, “there must be two or three hundred flowers here.”
Wei Wei adjusted her glasses. “There are 999 of them. I have counted them for you.”
Xu Mingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly. “So many.”
Wei Wei observed her expression. CEO Xu was definitely attractive. However, because she rarely smiled, she looked very serious.
Ever since Wei Wei started working for CEO Xu, many bosses had fallen in love with CEO Xu, be it in China or overseas. However, they were all intimidated by her aura and didn’t dare to approach her.
Only Ms. Su understood CEO Xu, even more than CEO Xu herself.
“Who sent these?” Xu Mingzhi sat down quietly, took off her leather gloves, and stacked them on the table.
It was her first time receiving flowers, so she wasn’t sure what to do.
Wei Wei took a step forward. “There should be a card with a signature on it.”
Xu Mingzhi took a look and noticed a pink card.
The moment she took it out, two possibilities flashed through her mind.
When she opened it, she saw a completely unfamiliar name.
[ “Wen Man” ]
Xu Mingzhi paused for a moment and showed his card to Wei Wei.
“Do I know such a person?”
Wei Wei was speechless when she saw the name. She thought it was Mr. Su or Mr. Tong!
At that moment, Xu Mingzhi received a call from an unknown number.
She picked it up calmly.
Her low magnetic voice transmitted into the receiver.
The woman on the other end of the phone’s mind went blank. “I…you…are you Ms. Xu?”
Xu Mingzhi chuckled and immediately understood. “Are you Wen Man?”
Wen Man’s heart tightened. She felt as if she had been flirted with!
She had never heard such a pleasant voice before!
Because of yesterday’s incident, she didn’t sleep the entire night. After thinking about it, she still felt bad.
Si Ke was Wen Man’s first love. They got married not long after they met. For decades, Si Ke protected her very well. She rarely went out to meet others and did not know how to apologize to anyone. She just followed the way Si Ke usually coaxed her after he provoked her. So, she sent a large bouquet of roses to Xu Mingzhi and just asked Su Ji for her phone number.
Wen Man said, “yes, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday. I know that you’re usually busy with work. I’ll wait for you at the restaurant downstairs. When you’re free, I’ll treat you to a meal as an apology…”
Her voice trembled. Xu Mingzhi thought it was cute and subconsciously softened her tone. “I’ve heard Su Ji mention you before. We’re about the same age, so you don’t have to be so polite with me.”
She would treat her baby’s best friend with gentleness.
Wei Wei’s bones almost crumbled when she heard this!
She thought that this was better than if Mr. Su or Mr. Tong had sent the flowers.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Xu Mingmingzhi felt that she couldn’t reject her. She smiled helplessly. “I have some time in the afternoon.”
“Sure, Ms. Xu. I’ll hang up now and leave you to your work.”
Wen Man let out a long sigh of relief after she hung up.
Si Ke, who had been secretly observing his wife from the living room: “…”
Why was his wife so nervous?
If he didn’t hear her say “Ms. Xu”, he would have had the wrong idea!
Xu Mingzhi took her phone away and sent a WeChat message to Su Ji, telling her that Wen Man asked to treat her to a meal.
After half a minute, Su Ji replied.
[ “Aunty Man is a good person, but she’s weak, so she rarely goes out. Maybe you two will become friends.” ]
Back then, Xu Minghi had cut off all ties and left the country in anger.
Now that she was back, her heart was all for her daughter. Wei Wei was her secretary and also her only friend.
Other than that, she had no friends in China, especially female friends.
“Alright, I will take care of her.”
Su Ji was currently in the lounge Blue Whale.
Xu Ni happened to pass by the door. This week of filming was also a probation period for him.
Due to the incident with Tang Yimo, Blue Whale had become much stricter with the new hires.
Today, Xu Ni had come to officially sign the contract. Zhang Guihua had brought him there.
She told everyone she met that this was her grandson, the future heir of the Xu family, and was especially proud.
Xu Ni didn’t seem to want to walk with her, and there was a big distance between them.
When he passed by the entrance of the lounge, Xu Ni casually glanced inside and happened to see Su Ji looking at him and quickly walked away. He looked cool, but his red ears betrayed his thoughts at the moment.
Su Ji smiled. She didn’t think Xu Ni was strange, but she felt that Xu Ni’s grandmother was strange.
She said that she doted on her eldest grandson the most, but she didn’t even know that he…
“Baby, our class is talking about next week’s meetup.”
Opposite Su Ji, Meng Na and Pan Lian were sitting with her.
Both of them were looking at their phones.
They were chatting in the class group chat.
Su Ji was also in the group, but she muted it because she thought it was noisy. She was usually busy and never participated.
The winter holiday was coming. In the last semester of next year, most of the students had enough credits, and many of them were already famous. They probably wouldn’t have time to meet after school.
Everyone chimed in and decided to have a meetup before the holidays next week.
In the past, no one would have thought of Su Ji when it came to such things. After all, she was invisible.
However, it was different now, especially after Su Ji had shown off her skills in class last time. The students wanted her to be there the most!
[ “Pan Lian, aren’t you the closest to Su Ji? Ask her to come!” ]
[ Meng Na, weren’t you the leader of the group? She’ll definitely listen to you.” ]
[ “My sister is still waiting for me to help her get Su Ji’s autographed photo!!” ]
Everyone wanted Su Ji to come, except Tong Le.
[ “Do you want to organize a class meetup or just a meetup with Su Ji?” ]
[ “Look how pathetic you are.” ]
Once he sent that, he was attacked by the other students in the class.
[ “Don’t think that we don’t know what you’re thinking. You criticized her publicly last time, so you must be too embarrassed to see her now!” ]
[ “Su Ji isn’t that petty. It’ll be over after you two drink a glass of wine. You’ll see each other all the time in the entertainment industry in the future. Why bother?” ]
[ Tong Le: “I’m afraid of her? Please! She’s the one who’s afraid of me!” ]
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Xuefang did not say a word.
After Pan Lian and Meng Na finished reading the chat, they showed Su Ji Tong Le’s message.
“Baby, do you want to go?” Pan Lian asked.
Meng Na said, “that kid is too arrogant!”
Su Ji heard this and looked over.
