Chapter 290 Want to Give a Gift?
Chen Xuan immediately understood what was happening and couldn't help but laugh.
It seemed this guy knew about Yuan Hui finding someone to deal with him.
If this swaggering scoundrel knew his master, Yuan Hui, had almost peed his pants from fear that day, he wondered what expression he would have.
Xu Zhanpeng snorted, "Still laughing? Heh, when Minister Yuan arrives later, you'll have plenty to deal with."
Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered with Xu Zhanpeng and picked up the documents, reading them seriously.
Chen Xuan hadn't gone to college, but he had once dreamed of attending. Now, having the chance to sit in a clean and bright office to learn some knowledge, Chen Xuan felt he had to cherish this opportunity. After all, he needed to contend with the Su family in Kyoto in the future, and relying solely on force wouldn't work; he needed knowledge to arm himself.
A few minutes later, Yuan Hui pushed the door open and walked in.
Even after a night of hot compresses, his face was still bruised and swollen.
"Minister Yuan, what happened to your face?"
Xu Zhanpeng saw the bruises on Yuan Hui's face and felt more heartache than seeing his father injured. He jumped up and exclaimed:
"Who the hell dared to ambush President Yuan? I'll have someone deal with him right now! President Yuan, don't be polite with me. I'm telling you, you know the newly opened Xuanji Hall? That's opened by my friend. Whoever dares to bully President Yuan, I'll make them pay."
Upon hearing the name Xuanji Hall, Yuan Hui was startled, "Xuanji Hall is opened by your friend?"
Xu Zhanpeng was naturally bragging, but he couldn't back down at this moment, so he puffed out his chest, "Yes."
Yuan Hui looked at Xu Zhanpeng with disgust.
"I bumped into it accidentally. You don't need to interfere."
Yuan Hui caught sight of Chen Xuan, his expression shifted slightly, and he waved his hand.
"So it was an accident. President Yuan, just walk slower in the future."
Xu Zhanpeng saw Yuan Hui's expression was a bit strange but didn't think much of it.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and asked with a smile, "I hope Vice President Yuan can forgive me. I misspoke just now. I should have addressed you as Vice President Yuan!"
As he spoke, Xu Zhanpeng raised his hand to slap his own ear.
Yuan Hui's heart sank further, and he cursed aloud, "Assistant Xu, shut up! What vice president? If you joke again, get out of here immediately!"
"Ah?"
Xu Zhanpeng's smile froze on his face, and he asked in confusion, "Vice President Yuan... no, Minister Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
"You don't even know what I mean, you idiot. You can report to the HR department now. I can't afford to use you as an assistant. I'll have HR arrange a new assistant for me!"
Yuan Hui waved his hand dismissively.
Xu Zhanpeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Even now, he didn't know why this situation had occurred.
At this moment, Yuan Hui walked up to Chen Xuan, bowed humbly, and said with a smile, "Vice President Chen, today I will teach you some new things, all sales tips. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Although his smile was pleasant, it was tinged with a hint of embarrassment.
Seeing this, Xu Zhanpeng's face turned uglier than if he had eaten a fly.
He finally understood why Yuan Hui was treating him like this.
It was clearly because Yuan Hui had been thoroughly subdued by Chen Xuan!
But he couldn't understand what had happened yesterday.
Xu Zhanpeng didn't know, but he knew his career was over.
Almost every assistant who was sent back to HR was never reused; instead, they were assigned to idle positions.
Last month, an assistant to the director who was sent back to HR became a receptionist.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Minister Yuan," Chen Xuan said, giving Yuan Hui a smiling glance.
"Don't dare, don't dare," Yuan Hui quickly shook his head.
At noon, Chen Xuan was playing on his phone in the lounge when he received a video call from Wei Linlin.
Chen Xuan stared at the phone screen and muttered, "Why is Wei Linlin calling me?"
However, he still answered the video call.
"Chen Xuan, have you missed me, this young lady?"
As soon as the call connected, Wei Linlin's delicate and pretty face appeared on the screen, along with her lively and animated demeanor.
Wei Linlin was still wearing her school uniform, so she should be at school and wasn't wearing heavy makeup.
"Speak, what's your intention in calling me?"
Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered with Wei Linlin.
"Tsk, you really have no sense of romance."
Wei Linlin pouted, then blinked her big eyes and said curiously, "I'm calling to see if you're cheating on Sister Yunxi behind her back. They say men who eat 'soft rice' are most prone to infidelity. If you dare to betray Sister Yunxi, I'll make you regret it."
Chen Xuan was exasperated, "If you have this much energy, you should focus more on your studies."
Wei Linlin was dismissive, puffing out her chest, "I can get first place in school by just studying casually. Why do I need to study? Do you look down on me?"
Chen Xuan was somewhat speechless.
He had to admit, although Wei Linlin was often idle, her mind was very sharp. Even though she didn't study much, she always managed to get first place in school.
Chen Xuan adjusted the camera, holding his phone and panning around the room, "See? I'm the only one in the lounge."
"That's more like it," Wei Linlin nodded in satisfaction.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up," Chen Xuan said impatiently.
"Wait!"
Wei Linlin quickly said, "Today is Valentine's Day. Have you bought a gift for Sister Yunxi?"
"Valentine's Day?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. He had been very busy lately and had completely forgotten it was Valentine's Day.
"As expected, you're a man without romance, you don't even know about Valentine's Day, let alone buying a gift for Sister Yunxi. How about this, I know a jewelry store in Jiangzhou that sells very nice jewelry. I have an acquaintance there, you can contact her then, and she'll give you a discount."
Wei Linlin didn't dare to look directly at Chen Xuan, pouting, feeling a bit guilty.
Her words left Chen Xuan no room to refuse.
Soon, Chen Xuan received a message from Wei Linlin.
Tianhe Jewelry, salesperson Fang Xiaoyu, and Fang Xiaoyu's phone number.
Chen Xuan showed a hint of playfulness and said lightly, "When did Miss Wei start doing sales? Doesn't your dad give you pocket money?"
Wei Linlin hadn't done this kind of thing before and blushed a little, "Just tell me if you're going or not?"
"If you tell me the truth, I'll go," Chen Xuan said lightly.
"Alright, if I tell you, I'll tell you. Fang Xiaoyu is my classmate's sister. Her family is sick and has no money. It's all up to her sister to work at the jewelry store to earn money. If you buy jewelry there, she'll get a commission."
Miss Wei disliked Chen Xuan's persistent questioning habit, but now she needed his help, so she could only explain in detail.
They had also tried to send money to that classmate, but the classmate refused it. Fearing they would hurt her pride, they came up with this roundabout method.
Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised, he didn't expect Wei Linlin to be helping someone.
"I'm asking you, are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll call Sister Yunxi!" Wei Linlin said impatiently.
She had thought about calling Su Yunxi, but Su Yunxi was too busy, and she didn't want to disturb her.
"Alright, don't bother your Sister Yunxi anymore, I'll go."
Chen Xuan readily agreed.
This was the first Valentine's Day since he had been with Su Yunxi, and he definitely wanted to give Su Yunxi a gift. However, he didn't have any good ideas for the moment, so he might as well follow Wei Linlin's suggestion.
"Chen Xuan, I knew you were a good person. Bye, I'm going to prepare for class."
Wei Linlin said with a grin and hung up the phone.
Chen Xuan looked at his social media feed, which was flooded with posts about Valentine's Day and couples showing affection, and felt a sense of shame.
He had never given Su Yunxi a gift, but Su Yunxi had given him several gifts. He felt guilty and was determined to prepare a nice gift for Su Yunxi this time!
