Then, swaying his head to the music, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs on both wrists.
A man dressed in a white shirt, black trousers, and a tie, looking like an elite, stood on the speaker.
Instantly, he drew everyone's attention.
Especially the girls, seeing how tall and handsome Hu Jiasheng was, screamed and looked over.
The lighting technician, always eager to please, immediately focused a spotlight on him.
He instantly became the center of attention.
He looked in Chen Jiaojiao's direction, swaying, and unhurriedly began to loosen his tie.
Chen Jiaojiao's face flushed at his actions.
This acting CEO, who commanded thousands of troops in the company every day.
Actually knew how to dance like this in private…
And, why was he looking at her?
Didn't they say they were going to find male models? Was it just him?
Amidst the screams, Hu Jiasheng pulled off his tie, then pulled his shirt hem out of his pants, and slowly unbuttoned it button by button.
The atmosphere of the entire venue was raised to its peak.
Everyone cheered him on, and even two hot girls ran over to dance with him.
Chen Jiaojiao was young and had never had a boyfriend.
She couldn't bear his gaze any longer, so she left without paying the bill and ran out.
The cool evening breeze blew, and the heat on her face gradually subsided.
Soon, Hu Jiasheng also came out.
His shirt wasn't tidied up yet, with three buttons undone, revealing his tanned chest at a glance.
He carried his jacket in the crook of his arm. Without his professional elite demeanor, he looked like a scoundrel in disguise.
Glancing at him, Chen Jiaojiao's face turned red again.
"I didn't realize, President Hu, you were so good at playing when you're not working."
"Isn't it all to prove to you that I'm not that old. My figure is still okay, right?"
Hu Jiasheng walked to her side, grabbed her hand, and let her feel his muscles.
"Although I'm a bit older than you, I'm a mature and thoughtful uncle, and I buy Hermès. Want to give me a chance?"
Such cheesy and boring tricks, if it were anyone else, Chen Jiaojiao would get goosebumps just imagining it.
But for some reason, with him, these actions, coupled with his mature and refined face, seemed surprisingly charming.
Especially his physique, his abs…
But Chen Jiaojiao quickly dismissed the thought.
Have some self-respect.
He hadn't done anything, just unbuttoned a few buttons, and she was already moved? Was she losing her mind?
"Boring, cheesy."
She suppressed her true feelings and rolled her eyes at Hu Jiasheng dismissively.
"Save those old tricks for the unworldly little girls. You're still too young to fool me."
She didn't sleep well that night.
She had many strange dreams in a daze.
Chen Jiaojiao didn't know why she was so weak, letting an older man stir her heart with just a few words.
At night, she dreamed of him unbuttoning his shirt again.
She slept until past seven in the morning. The nanny came up to wake her, telling her she had to go to the company today.
Chen Jiaojiao yawned and went downstairs. The nanny brought over a large box.
"Mr. Hu sent someone to deliver this early this morning."
Mr. Hu?
Chen Jiaojiao immediately opened the box to take a look.
This guy really bought her the latest model Hermès.
He knew her taste quite well; it was the little black bag she had been eyeing.
Now her curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to see what other tricks this older man had up his sleeve.
Chen Jiaojiao accepted it, but still didn't accept his friend request and calmly went to the company.
Unexpectedly, after attending a high-level project meeting with Uncle Tang, Hu Jiasheng arrived at the company.
Accompanied by a group of staff.
Uncle Tang said he was just there to visit and hadn't informed Chen Jiaojiao in advance.
There was no need to say how dazzling he was among the group of people of varying heights, weights, and builds.
The key was that he walked directly to her upon seeing her, as if no one else was around.
"President Chen, I left something in your car yesterday. Do you have time now to accompany me to retrieve it?"
In front of so many people, Chen Jiaojiao couldn't say he was lying and refuse him.
The two of them pretended to be proper and entered the elevator.
As soon as the door closed, without a word, Hu Jiasheng suddenly turned and cornered her.
"Still not adding me as a friend?"
There was a surveillance camera in the elevator, and Chen Jiaojiao didn't want anyone to see them doing anything inappropriate inside.
She quickly reached out to push him away.
Hu Jiasheng seized her hand as he moved.
"I let you touch my abs yesterday, and you still say you don't know me well?"
What kind of logic was that?
Chen Jiaojiao tried hard to pull her hand back.
"I didn't say I wanted to touch your abs; you insisted I touch them. What does that have to do with accepting me as a friend?"
Hu Jiasheng held on to her.
"If you don't add me, I won't let you leave today."
"You're old enough, please don't play these boring childhood games, okay?"
Hu Jiasheng ignored her, holding her hand with one hand and pressing against the elevator wall with the other.
He trapped her within his embrace.
"If you don't add me, I'll do it myself. But you're not allowed to cry."
His hot breath fell on Chen Jiaojiao's forehead, and her face instantly turned red again. "You dare!"
Hu Jiasheng seemed to have her figured out, unfazed, and reached for her phone in her hand.
Chen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and kicked him.
He instinctively grabbed her leg, pressing it tightly against his trousers.
Chen Jiaojiao was wearing a professional suit skirt and high heels today.
With her leg suddenly caught, the situation was incredibly awkward.
She almost cried at this point.
"Hu Jiasheng… you have no shame!"
Hu Jiasheng hadn't expected it to turn out like this; he was just joking with her. He quickly let go.
"I'm sorry, I just..."
"Scum, trash! Cheesy, lecherous old man!"
"I apologize. How about you let me touch you back?"
What?
Chen Jiaojiao never expected him to say something like that.
She was so angered that she laughed.
"Are you out of your damn mind?"
Hu Jiasheng looked honest and remorseful.
"I don't know why, but every time I see you, I get emotional and can't control my actions."
"..."
"But there is one thing I can control."
"??"
"Your company is also interested in competing for this project, but if the Zhan Group makes a move, there won't be much chance of winning."
"Tell me, do you want this project? If you do, I'll give it to you."
Why did the topic suddenly shift to work?
Chen Jiaojiao felt awkward for a moment, then said proudly.
"What do you mean, 'give it to me'? Is our company really that weak? Can't we win it with our own strength? Do we need you to give it to us."
"Whether we're that weak or not, you can ask your father by making a phone call."
She didn't need to make the call; Chen Jiaojiao knew.
Her family's company was on a completely different level than the Zhan Group.
If they were to compete for a project, the Zhan Group's involvement would crush them without leaving a trace.
"Can you make that decision? Just give it to me if you say so, and there's no responsibility for the lost project?"
"No need. Consider it an engagement gift for my future wife. No one can interfere."
