President, Don't Come Over - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 : Waiting for you

Tang Manman did not expect that the actions of the superior would be so fast. Before getting off work, Tang Manman heard that Cheng Xue had been fired. Assistant Lin's move was really ruthless, Tang Manman couldn't help but be speechless. But she didn't know that this order had nothing to do with Lin Ye, it was Xia Zheng's.

In the CEO's office, the man's slender fingers were tapping on the table, "It's time to get off work," he said flatly, "Go back first."

Lin Ye and Annie stood on the left and on the right. After reporting the daily work summary, Lin Ye collected the files and said with a playful smile: "Boss sent a message, so I can go home early today."

Annie hesitated a bit: "President Xia, tonight..have to go to the Hongyue Group's reception...

"No." Xia Zheng said concisely. He stood up, seeing Annie standing still, "Not going"

"Then Mr. Xia, you...

"My girlfriend is working overtime, I want to accompany her."

Annie's body immediately froze, and she heard him say calmly: "Lin Ye, she said that she has to work overtime today?"

"Yes," Lin Ye nodded hurriedly, "but she shouldn't have done that job..."

"It's okay," the man's eyes flicked past, just a short glance, and Annie's palms broke out in cold sweat. He looked at Lin Ye, but Annie knew who he was talking about, "But I don't want to hear this kind of thing again. If there is a second time...."

"There are many positions in the company, and there are more people. There can only be one person in a seat. If this person is not good enough, then change it. It's very simple."

***

The clock on the wall passed seven o'clock, and everyone in the office was gone, only Tang Manman's desk was still lit.

She has been struggling for several hours, her hands are a little sore, her eyes are a little blurry, and her stomach is still a little hungry. She didn't eat lunch well, and she haven't had dinner yet. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard her stomach growl again, and a smell of food wafted from the door.

She let go of the mouse: "It seems that I am really hallucinating from hunger, and I smell steamed sea bass, um... and fried chicken."

"It seems that your nose is quite good." A voice sounded leisurely, "Smell again, what else is there.

Tang Manman paused for a moment: "...Xia Zheng."

"Why, you don't want to see me?" The man strode in and put a large four-layer insulated box in front of her, "Eat."

"No," she murmured, "I'm just, a little bit surprised....Didn't you go back?"

When everyone got off work, she clearly saw Xia Zheng go out. He didn't come to ask her, let alone send her home. Tang Manman was still holding some hope in her heart, but she was immediately discouraged.

Sure enough, she was thinking too much. Xia Zheng was so busy, and I heard that he had to go to a reception party tonight, so he had no time to care about her.

"I cane back," Xia Zheng opened the insulated box, "otherwise, where do you think these dishes came from?"

As soon as the lid was lifted, there was a burst of aroma, and Tang Manman couldn't help swallowing: "You made this?"

"Hm."

"Why didn't you just go out and buy it?"

"It's unhealthy outside," Xia Zheng said succinctly, "Hurry up and eat, it's not like you have unfinished work."

"And you...."

He pulled a chair casually and sat down beside Tang Manman's desk: "I'll wait for you."

After the three simple words were finished, the heart beat violently in the next moment. Holding the chopsticks, Tang Manman felt as if something was about to come out of her eyes."

How could he... be so foul.

She was actually full of anger today. The work that was forcibly pushed, the incomparable contrast, the inexplicable targeting...even including the back of him leaving without hesitation after work.

But all of these were defeated in front of these three words.

Tang Manman told herself again and again, don't fall in love, don't fall too deep, how happy you are now, how cold you will be when you wake up from the dream.

But she couldn't help it. She felt that she really couldn't help it. The hand holding the chopsticks became tighter and tighter, and she suddenly said, "Lend me your tie."

Xia Zheng didn't know why, but he still took off the tie and handed it to her. Tang Manman took it, and blew it hard on her nose.

"You!..." Boss Xia had a slight obsession with cleanliness, and his body froze immediately.

"I blew my nose, do you mind?" The girl lowered her head, Xia Zheng couldn't see the expression on her face, but felt her voice was muffled.

Do I still mind now, you already blew it. Xia Zheng was angry and helpless. He wanted to knock her on the head, but he raised his hand in the air and stopped. Forget it, she was also wronged today. I'm an adult, so I don't care about this anymore.

Thinking of this, Xia Zheng felt comfortable. He is actually not a good-tempered person, he has a tough personality, and he is even a little harsh in his dealings with others. But when it comes to her, he can't express his temper somehow.

It was fun to let her blow her nose on his tie, to sit here wasting time with her, as if he was just being silly.

The man's eyes darkened, staring at the girl who lowered her head to eat. Under the light, her long eyelashes were like butterfly wings. Involuntarily, Xia Zheng thought of the first time he noticed her.

Tang Manman didn't know, but Xia Zheng had already discovered that she was peeking at dirty articles.

It was during a lunch break, she was called out in a hurry by her colleagues, and she forgot to close the webpage. But Xia Zheng, who happened to be passing by, took a look at it.

Xia Zheng wasn't angry. He didn't care what the employees did during the break, as long as they weren't messing around when they were working.

With just a glance, his face sank. Because he saw the male protagonist who was very similar to himself, and a familiar author's vest-the Great Demon King Roushan.

Xia Zheng immediately made a phone call: "Mu Yang, do you know that your wife is writing about the Eighteen Bans again?" And the hero is still based on him!

He was absolutely sure that the male protagonist named Xia Nuo was himself. Mu Yang's wife couldn't do anything out of the ordinary, not only did she write her own husband into the 18 bans, but they also got tricked by her family's family friends.

Xia Zheng was extremely annoyed, and he couldn't argue with her, so he could only find her husband to deal with her.

The next day, "President Don't Come Over" stopped updating.

Boss Xia was in a happy mood. In his free time, he also paid attention to the little assistant who was peeking at the Eighteen Forbidden City. Well, she looked very disappointed.

Very good, Xia Zheng nodded, daring to XX boss, this is the lesson.

The matter should have come to an end here, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, his eyes gradually fell more and more on the head of the little assistant.

He found that although she peeked at the dirty text, she was serious about her work. She can do everything that her boss ordered, and she often has some good ideas. Both Lin Ye and Annie have praised her.

She doesn't talk much and always smiles. Hongrui had a shareholder who was difficult to serve. Once when she came to the company, no one in the secretarial office was willing to shoulder the burden, so they pushed her out. She was still smiling and had no complaints.

So whether she is smart or stupid, Xia Zheng couldn't help thinking. Sometimes she looks smart, and sometimes she looks like an idiot.

For example, she still doesn’t know that she was discovered by her boss when she peeked at the dirty articles. She constantly swiped the screen and left messages every day. Seeing her "crying out for greatness" in the comments every day, Xia Zheng almost couldn't help but let Mu Yang's wife release the article again.

Of course, he just thought about it. Xia Zheng doesn't like having a bunch of strangers flirting with him. That little assistant...well, not at all either.

But when he saw her continuing to write that article, Xia Zheng's first reaction was not anger.

He was very interested. At first he just wanted to tease her, but later, he couldn't help it.

It is said that if a person becomes interested in another person, that is the beginning of the fall. Xia Zheng didn't know when he fell into it, maybe he just wanted to see how stupid this idiot was.

After all, she couldn't even tell that he liked her.
