President, Don't Come Over - Chapter 11
Chapter 11 : Stranger
Tang Manman didn't know that her secret relationship with Xia Zheng was exposed on the first day. She was in an inexplicably good mood and was very energetic all day long.
Although she hasn't become a regular yet, because she has always been down-to-earth and hardworking, she is very popular in the office. But today, Tang Manman felt like she was being targeted.
As soon as she entered the office, her colleague Cheng Xue threw a thick stack of files on her desk and said "Hurry up and tidy it, we need it for the ten o'clock meeting.
Tang Manman picked it up and looked at it: "This should have been sorted out on Monday, why did it take until today?"
The other party turned around and left as if they hadn't heard it. She is a senior, and Tang Manman couldn't say anything. After thinking about it, she hurried to work, as it should be done before ten o'clock.
After a while, a human voice came from outside: "Quick, Annie call someone to come over, Mr. Xia has to go out."
She heard a familiar name and looked up from a pile of documents.
Xia Zheng is going to meet with a partner, right? The high-level executives are discussing cooperation with a consortium in the United States recently. Xia Zheng is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground. There are seven or eight meetings, large and small, throughout the day. It's a wonder that he still has time to read dirty articles at this time. Tang Manman thought about how he was so energetic last night when he didn't sleep half the night.
It's definitely not her turn to go out with the boss to meet a big client like this. Anne is one of the two chief assistants. She sent a message, saying that whoever can go can follow.
In the past, the faint thought in Tang Manman's heart was just to work hard and be able to stand with confidence. And then getting closer to Xia Zheng.
She once told Zhizhi about her small thoughts, but Zhizhi said: "Since it is a dream, why not make it unrealistic."
Tang Manman was so angry that she rolled her eyes: "You can't lend me a few good words, such as wishing Xia Zheng to fall in love with me suddenly when he becomes blind one day, and cry and want to marry me.
"I also want to," Zhizhi snorted, "Think about it yourself, could the boss like you?"
"Look at him, he is neither flirtatious nor dandy. He is devoted to work every day, even more than a model worker. A person like him will only like someone who is as good as himself, or a well-known young lady who is well-matched. I think that in our company, it's all about planning, and only Anne has a role to play.
Who is Annie again? The same returnee elite, the same rich family background, she is Xia Zheng's most trusted right-hand man. She has thin waist and long legs. She is cool and charming.
There have long been rumors in the company that Annie has many suitors, and that she is too good a lady to be an assistant, it's just for Xia Zheng.
Tang Manman didn't take it seriously at that time, but now she couldn't help thinking, does Annie really like Xia Zheng? Of course she didn't suspect that Xia Zheng had something to do with Annie, that person would not do such a dishonest thing.
But his passion for her was only temporary, and when that momentum passed, he would eventually return to his world.
This feeling became stronger during the lunch break.
Tang Manman worked desperately to finish sorting out the files before ten o'clock. Before she could catch her breath, Cheng Xue threw another stack of documents to her.
"Boss ordered it before, and all these previous materials must be filed. I don't think you have anything to do, so you can do it first, and get it done before you get off work."
"I just finished the file," Tang Manman said flatly. She was not aggressive, but just said softly, "I still have the work assigned by Brother Lin, so I can't guarantee the time.
Cheng Xue touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Then you mean that you don't want to.
"I....
Before Tang Manman could speak, Sister Wang at the desk next to her coughed twice.
"Manman, Xiao Cheng is also very busy. He has to go out for field work later. If you are free, please give her a helping hand," she turned her face and smiled gently, "We are all colleagues, we should help each other, right?"
Tang Manman could only swallow the words in her stomach. Sister Wang is the third in command in the secretary office after Lin Ye and Annie. She sent a message, what can Tang Manman say as an intern. Besides, if she doesn't agree, she's afraid the label of not helping colleagues will be attached to her.
Just like that, Tang Manman was so busy that she didn't even bother to eat lunch. After finally rushing down to buy a meal before the cafeteria closed, it was a coincidence that she ran into Xia Zheng who was returning to the company in the elevator.
He was dressed in a neat suit, and when viewed from a distance, one could feel the power and coldness. Annie stood one step behind him, wasn't too far behind.
The two entered the elevator one after the other, Xia Zheng's eyes flashed when he saw Tang Manman in the elevator.
"President Xia." Tang Manman greeted politely.
"Yeah." The man responded lightly.
The elevator fell silent immediately, only the slight humming echoed slightly during the execution. Tang Manman lowered her head, her eyes fell on his toes. She didn't want to admit that she was a little uncomfortable. Just now he was like a stranger to her, and standing with Annie, he was so eye-catchingly suitable.
In the morning, Xia Zheng said that he would announce the relationship, but she refused. Tang Manman understood that she didn't want others to know about her relationship with Xia Zheng. She thought that she was afraid of spreading rumors and kept a low profile. It was all nonsense. She just doesn't want to stand too high.
The higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall.
The eighteenth floor finally arrived, obviously within a minute, but Tang Manman felt like many years had passed. She stood there, waiting for Xia Zheng and Annie to go out, then slowly returned to her workstation and sat down.
After patting her face, she started to work again. No matter what, duty should be the first priority.
It's just that God seems to be against Tang Manman. She spent the whole afternoon dealing with the files. When she finally took the time to go to the bathroom, she heard someone gossiping about her in the tea room.
"Isn't that Tang Manman too arrogant? An intern, relying on her own good looks, really doesn't know how powerful the heavens are."
"Alas," came Cheng Xue's cool voice, "She is young, a little girl who just left school. Maybe she is still dreaming of catching a wealthy son and marrying into a wealthy family. She doesn't care how much she weighs."
Well, only now did Tang Manman understood the reason why she was being targeted. It turned out to be because of Xia Zheng. But she didn't even talk to Xia Zheng today, why are these people coming at her!
She didn't make a sound, and turned to look for Lin Ye.
"Brother Lin, I finished the file you asked me to get last time." She put a stack of manuscripts on Lin Ye's desk.
Lin Ye picked it up and looked at it, very satisfied: "I know you are quick to do things. You can use this case to make changes, don't worry, just give it to me next week."
"Okay," Tang Manman nodded, seemingly casually, "Then I'll put it aside for now, I still have some materials to get."
After hearing this, Lin Ye asked casually, "What materials?"
"I haven't read it yet, Cheng Xue just gave it to me," she said calmly, "Tomorrow is Friday, and it seems that I have to work overtime today to get it right."
What a fine person Lin Ye is. He frowned upon hearing this, but Tang Manman stopped talking and greeted Lin Ye: "Then I'll go out first, Brother Lin."
She is not a bun who has to swallow her anger after being bullied. She can do her job, but her boss also needs to know what she is suffering. What Lin Ye dislikes the most is people who push work to colleagues. Tang Manman just waits to see Cheng Xue's bad luck.
