Chapter 1467 Rumors
"Yes, our Huang Hai Group has always been a company that only looks at results, not processes. As for what you did, I'm just curious."
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't Yang Rong tell you? The task you completed today was very important, and you were rewarded with three hundred thousand. Yang Rong should have gone to finance to collect it."
"Hahaha, then thank you very much, Minister Hua. I didn't expect to receive such a large reward as soon as I started working. Thank you, Minister Hua." Chen Xuan said happily.
Hua Mei glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you for saving me last time. Would you be free to have dinner with me after work to express my gratitude?"
Chen Xuan's heart leaped with joy.
He had originally intended to use this opportunity to develop a relationship with Yang Rong, but he hadn't expected Hua Mei to invite him out proactively.
He hesitated for a moment before putting on a troubled expression: "This..."
"Mr. Chen, is something wrong?" Hua Mei asked.
Chen Xuan nodded: "It's nothing major, it's just that I promised my colleagues earlier that if I received the bonus, I would treat them to dinner tonight. I can't go back on my word."
It wasn't that Chen Xuan didn't want to develop a relationship with Hua Mei quickly, but agreeing too readily might reveal his true intentions.
He had finally managed to infiltrate the Huang Hai Group, and he couldn't expose himself so soon.
Hua Mei smiled charmingly, as if spring had arrived: "Mr. Chen, I am also an employee of the public relations department. Can you invite me to dinner too?"
"Ah?"
Chen Xuan nodded: "Of course!"
He hadn't expected Hua Mei to be so persistent. This was an opportunity presented on a silver platter, and he naturally accepted.
"Okay, I'll see you tonight."
Chen Xuan walked out of the office in a daze.
As soon as Chen Xuan left, Hua Mei sat on the sofa, pondering for a moment. Then, she got up and returned to the lounge, opening a cabinet door to reveal a dazzling array of clothes and bags.
"Which one should I wear?"
Hua Mei touched her chin, scrutinizing the cabinet full of clothes and bags.
In an office within the Huang Hai Group building, a handsome and sunny young man sat, slowly twirling two walnuts in his hands, lost in thought.
At that moment, a man in a suit and sunglasses knocked and entered.
"What is it?"
"A man just went into Minister Hua Mei's office!"
"Oh? How long was he there?"
"Twelve minutes and thirty-eight seconds."
Upon hearing this, the sunny and bright face of the young man suddenly changed, becoming overcast and sinister: "I want him dead!"
"Minister Hua also invited him to dinner with the public relations department."
"Don't be hasty. Make sure Minister Hua doesn't find out. After dinner, find a way to kill him. Remember, it must be silent, making it seem like an accident, especially to Minister Hua."
"As you command!"
The man in the black suit and sunglasses seemed accustomed to it. He nodded slightly and turned to leave.
*Crack!*
As soon as the door closed, the walnuts in the young man's hand were crushed by him.
...
Chen Xuan returned to the public relations department and announced that he was treating everyone to dinner that night. A group of rosy, fragrant figures swarmed around him, cheering joyfully.
Being squeezed in the middle of these women, even if Chen Xuan remained still, he couldn't avoid touching places he shouldn't.
Alas, it was too troublesome!
"Everyone, stop fooling around and get back to work. Chen Yiming is treating tonight, and I have good news for everyone: Minister Hua will also be attending."
Bai Ling walked in, wearing a pair of black high heels.
There was a moment of silence around them, followed by an uproar.
"Wow, Minister Hua rarely attends these gatherings."
"Yeah, many people have treated before, but Minister Hua has never come."
"Since Minister Hua is coming, this must be a great occasion."
Chen Xuan glanced at Sister Rong, only to see her looking dejected, with a hint of worry on her face.
He sat down at his workstation and leaned towards Sister Rong, asking, "Sister Rong, why aren't you happy? Don't worry, I'll treat you with my bonus."
"How can I be unhappy?" Sister Rong forced a smile.
"Sister Rong, it's like 'unhappy' is written all over your face. Are you feeling unwell? That shouldn't be the case; your pulse is very normal."
Chen Xuan took Sister Rong's pulse and found it to be normal.
Yang Rong shook her head: "I'm fine, really."
"Alright."
Women, after all, have their days.
Chen Xuan took out a book from the public relations department and continued reading.
After a while, Sister Rong leaned over: "Yiming..."
"What is it, Sister Rong? Just say it if you have something to say." Chen Xuan turned his head and saw Sister Rong hesitating.
Sister Rong took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll just say it. You'd better stay away from our Minister Hua, especially don't meet with our Minister Hua alone."
"Why?"
Chen Xuan asked with curiosity.
But Sister Rong refused to say anything more, which only made Chen Xuan more curious.
When work ended, everyone else rushed to a nearby restaurant. Chen Xuan heard that Xiao Pangzi Zhang Xiaolong was still working overtime, so he waited for him there.
A moment later, Zhang Xiaolong came in excitedly: "Big brother, I heard you're treating everyone to dinner?"
"Yes, I earned a large bonus."
"You... you're too lucky. I was supposed to go with you this afternoon, but I was stopped by our Shifu Huang. I'm so pathetic..."
Zhang Xiaolong looked like he was about to cry.
"Shifu Huang?"
"It's our team leader, Huang Li. She's been bossing me around all afternoon, and my legs are about to disappear." Zhang Xiaolong complained.
"Cough, cough, cough, isn't your leader Huang quite pretty and nice? How can you say that about her? You must be exhausted."
Chen Xuan blinked.
Zhang Xiaolong looked at Chen Xuan in surprise and said, "Big brother, when did I get bribed by Shifu Huang? We're brothers..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Big brother, if you have a fever, you should say so."
Chen Xuan spread his hands, completely speechless.
Just then, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded: "Zhang Xiaolong, why haven't you finished work yet?"
As soon as she said this, Zhang Xiaolong was struck as if by lightning.
He immediately understood why Chen Xuan had suddenly said those words – Huang Li had arrived.
Zhang Xiaolong gave Chen Xuan a blaming look, as if blaming him for not informing him. Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. I reminded you so many times just now, and you didn't even notice. You're blaming me?
"I'm leaving right away, right away."
Zhang Xiaolong said with a mournful face.
"Get some good rest tonight, we have things to deal with tomorrow."
After speaking, Huang Li left, swaying her hips.
Zhang Xiaolong was on the verge of tears: "I'm finished!"
"Don't worry, Xiaolong, your life is just beginning." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaolong: "No, I've suffered too much today. I'm going to feast on a big meal to make up for it."
Chen Xuan: "..."
So, I'm the victim here!
Although Zhang Xiaolong's appetite wasn't as big as his, he could still eat for three people.
On the way to the hotel, Chen Xuan asked, "Xiaolong, I want to ask you something."
"As long as you make sure I'm full later, I'll tell you anything."
"No problem, no problem."
Chen Xuan asked in a deep voice, "I met our public relations department's Minister Hua today."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong shivered and quickly asked, "Chen Xuan, you didn't meet Minister Hua alone, did you?"
