Chapter 12 I Don't Think Much of It
After eating some food, Xu Shijie looked up to get a drink and saw a familiar figure walking over.
"This guy, he's truly a shadow that won't disappear," Li Jiajia muttered, glancing at Chen Xuan.
As she spoke, Chen Xuan had already walked over.
He looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but rub his stomach, feeling genuinely hungry.
"Chen Xuan, are you ever going to give up? We're completely over, and you still follow me to this place. Don't you even look at whether this is a place a loser like you can come to?"
Li Jiajia put her hands on her hips and started scolding like a shrew, "Instead of staying in your guard booth, you run here to freeload and eat. Standing under the same roof as you makes me feel disgusted! Hurry up and get lost, or I'll report you to your boss right now and get you fired again!"
In Li Jiajia's view, Chen Xuan could only get in because he had found a new job as a security guard at this hotel.
Chen Xuan glanced at Li Jiajia and sneered, "Security guard? You really think highly of me."
"You loser..." Li Jiajia was about to scold again when Xu Shijie, standing beside her, stopped her.
Xu Shijie walked up to Chen Xuan, narrowed his eyes, and stared at him, asking, "Chen Xuan, did Doctor Li bring you, this dog, in here?"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. "I think you're the dog."
"Who is this?" Fan Jin, seeing Chen Xuan's ordinary attire, asked out of curiosity.
Xu Shijie gave a forced smile and quickly explained, "Oh, him? He's my wife's fiancé who served in the army for eight years. After returning, he couldn't even find a job. I had him work as a security guard at a factory, and then my wife kicked him out of the house.
"Now, he's apparently learned acupuncture from some roadside medical book and gained some fame online. Doctor Li mistakenly thought this guy had some skill and actually treated him as someone capable.
"Director Fan, you don't know, but even funnier, this clown hired a beautiful woman to show off and save face."
Xu Shijie paused here and whispered into Fan Jin's ear, "Director Fan, the woman Chen Xuan hired is incredibly beautiful, and she has a great temperament."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Fan Jin's interest was immediately piqued, and he smiled slyly, "I'm someone who really likes women with good temperament, and who I can have fun with without taking responsibility."
"Really?"
Xu Shijie fawned, "Director Fan, I'll help you ask for her contact information later. This matter is on me."
Fan Jin cast an appreciative glance at Xu Shijie.
Xu Shijie was useless in terms of ability, but when it came to flattery, he was excellent.
Just then, a gentle voice sounded.
"Chen Xuan!"
A tall, beautiful woman walked over, swaying her graceful figure.
Crucially, Su Yunxi and Li Jiajia were wearing the same outfit. Both wore a sky-blue long dress, but their temperaments were entirely different. Su Yunxi made Li Jiajia look so inferior that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Seeing this woman, Fan Jin immediately became timid, his heart pounding.
Su... Director...
Why is she here?
Chen Xuan didn't notice Fan Jin's change in expression and lamented inwardly.
Wherever this woman went, she was always so radiant.
He quickly waved hello, "Yunxi!"
Su Yunxi asked calmly, "Chen Xuan, why are you here? Doctor Li is waiting for you in the reception hall."
"Okay, I'll head over now." Chen Xuan nodded.
Xu Shijie stared greedily at Su Yunxi and chuckled, "Director Fan, that's the woman who's acting for Chen Xuan. Look at that slender waist, those long legs, tsk tsk. I'll go ask about her price for you!"
Saying that, Xu Shijie turned and trotted off.
Fan Jin's face changed drastically upon hearing this!
"Ask your mother*, you idiot, do you know who that person is?!" But Fan Jin was too slow. Xu Shijie had already charged forward, smiling maliciously, "Miss, please wait!"
Su Yunxi stopped and turned around gracefully.
She stared at Xu Shijie and smiled charmingly, "I wonder what you need me for, sir?"
Normally, the closer one gets, the less appealing someone might appear, but the closer Su Yunxi was, the more beautiful she seemed than before, instantly captivating Xu Shijie's gaze.
In an instant, his heart was captivated.
Wow, how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world!
Compared to her, his wife Li Jiajia was nothing.
Li Jiajia, seeing her man staring intently at another woman, especially one with an unclear relationship with Chen Xuan, showed a hint of anxiety and stomped on Xu Shijie's foot.
Xu Shijie yelped in pain, finally snapping back to reality.
He quickly wiped his drool, gave Li Jiajia a sheepish smile, and then resumed his hypocritical demeanor.
He chuckled, "My dear beautiful lady, how much does Chen Xuan pay you every night that you're willing to act for him?"
Su Yunxi was stunned at first, then looked at Xu Shijie with a half-smile, glancing at Fan Jin, who was frantically waving his hands behind Xu Shijie.
She then looked directly at Xu Shijie and said playfully, "Guess."
Xu Shijie couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
It seemed his guess was correct; this woman was indeed hired by Chen Xuan.
If Chen Xuan, a mere security guard, could afford it, why couldn't he, the new manager of Yishen Pharmaceutical?
Chen Xuan secretly sneered at Xu Shijie's ignorance.
Some things cannot be measured by money.
This medical gathering was hosted by Doctor Li, and even Doctor Li had to curry favor with Su Yunxi. One could imagine the consequences if Xu Shijie offended Su Yunxi with his words.
"Haha, what's there to guess? Xu Shijie has no shortage of money. Whatever Chen Xuan pays you, I'll pay double, no, triple!"
Xu Shijie said with a pretentious air.
Su Yunxi feigned surprise, "Oh really? I didn't expect you to be quite wealthy?"
Chen Xuan watched from the side, somewhat stunned. How could this woman act so well?
"Xu Shijie has no shortage of money!"
Xu Shijie laughed heartily, "If you follow me... our Director Fan, let alone triple, he'll give you five times that with ease."
"To have you accompany Director Fan is an honor for you! Don't push your luck!"
Li Jiajia crossed her arms and gazed at the woman before her who made her so jealous.
At this moment, she felt the exhilaration of revenge!
