President, Don't Come Over - Chapter 16
Chapter 16 : Getting bolder
Deng Songtao's preference is indeed mature beauties, so his number one target was Annie Dasuke who was beside the president. It's a pity that Annie's vision is too high. He has been courting her for a long time, but Annie doesn't think much of him.
But the two are familiar after all. Annie said to him once while chatting: "In our secretary's office, there is a little girl named Tang Manman who likes you.
Deng Songtao is the manager of the HR department. When he found Tang Manman's HR file, she was a beautiful woman. Coupled with Annie's urging, he began to pursue Tang Manman.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he flirts with others and asks for warmth and comfort. Because he behaves like a senior who cares about the younger generation, Tang Manman couldn't say anything and could only endure it.
With such a fly buzzing around, time passed quickly. Finally it was Friday, and Xia Zheng is coming back to China tomorrow, but the company wanted to organize team building and go camping in the mountains.
This time, the team building was a joint effort between the secretary's office and the HR department. Xia Zheng was not around, so Annie proposed a proposal. Her reasons are very straightforward, to unite colleagues and connect with each other, and it is inconvenient for Lin Ye to object.
Tang Manman was discouraged all of a sudden. She still wanted to go to the airport to pick up Xia Zheng on Saturday. But after thinking about it, I feel that I have fallen too deep...
So worrying about gains and losses, Tang Manman didn't expect that there would be troubles waiting for her when she arrived at the meeting place early on Friday morning.
Dozens of people from the two departments have to be divided into three teams to get on the bus. Zhizhi called Tang Manman earlier, saying that she was on the front bus. Tang Manman got on the bus, but found that there was already a person sitting next to Zhizhi.
"Manman," Annie said in a very affectionate tone, "there is a seat in front, you can sit there."
Tang Manman was startled, only to see Zhizhi squeeze out a helpless smile, she smiled and lowered her eyes: "Okay.
Tang Manman didn't know Annie well, so she sat down in the seat in the front row with suspicion. At this time, there were only two or three empty seats in the car. Another person came up and saw that the seat next to Tang Manman was empty. The feet came over.
Tang Manman's eyes became clear at once, because that person was none other than Deng Songtao.
Whether Centipede Deng asked Annie to create opportunities for him, or Annie trying to trap anyone in her company, who knows. But Centipede Deng is a scumbag. That's a fact.
Seeing that Deng Songtao was about to sit down, Tang Manman suddenly stretched out her hand.
"Excuse me, Manager Deng," she pressed the seat, "There are people here.
"Didn't you just get in the car, Manman?" Before Deng Songtao could speak, Annie suddenly interrupted, "This place is already empty, so there is no one there.
Tang Manman just smiled, and the smile became softer: "Someone asked me to reserve a seat for them, so Manager Deng cannot sit here."
Of course, no one asked her to help reserve a seat at all, but she felt that there was no need to give in. She was just not willing to do what the two of them wanted, and Annie knew what she could do.
Annie's face sank all of a sudden. During the stalemate, another person came up.
"Manman," Lin Ye said slowly, "So you are here, there is no one next to you.
Deng Songtao turned around and said, "So this...is reserved for Brother Lin."
Lin Ye looked around, vaguely understood what happened just now, but smiled and said nothing.
He is a celebrity around the president, of course Deng Songtao can't compete with him, so he smiled and had to get out of the car resentfully. Seeing this, Annie's face became more and more uncomfortable. Tang Manman ignored her, stood up and gave up her seat to Lin Ye: "Brother Lin, sit by the window, the view is good.
"No, no, no," Lin Ye waved his hands with a smile, "I won't sit here.
One sentence immediately drew out Annie's anger that had been pent up for a long time: "This seat is not reserved for you, Tang Manman." She turned her face, her eyes were full of sternness, "It's just a seat, you push and hold back like this, thinking that the company is run by your family!"
It's just a seat, isn't it because you have bad intentions and want to push me into the fire pit!
Tang Manman refused to admit defeat, and was about to speak back, when a cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the car: "She does not run the company, i do.
"I want to sit here, is it okay?"
For a moment, the car fell into silence.
The man was wearing a well-tailored high-end suit, as if he had just arrived from the airport, and the hem of his clothes was a bit dusty. He didn't frown, or even show his displeasure, but his eyes flickered coldly. As his gaze passed by, the cold sweat on Annie's back immediately fell.
"...President Xia."
"Look," Lin Ye spread his hands, "I said, I won't sit here."
This seat is specially reserved for the boss.
His voice broke the silence in the room, and soon everyone stood up to say hello. Xia Zheng said flatly: "Lin Ye, go down and help me with my luggage."
"Yes—" Lin Ye turned around and took the opportunity to wink at Tang Manman. Tang Manman was still in a daze and said:
"President Xia..."
Xia Zheng was very dissatisfied with why he was called Mr. Xia again. He was not happy, and the anger was naturally not on Tang Manman, but on Annie:
"I heard that the team building was proposed by you. As a superior, you don't lead by example, so you don't need to participate in the activities, get off the bus."
"President Xia, I..."
"I don't like repeating it a second time."
Annie's face was ashen, and red.
She knew how other people looked at her. She, the big help next to the president, was mercilessly embarrassed by the president, and the reason was just for a small assistant.
Okay, good for you Tang Manman... you think everything will be fine if you seduce him? I will make you pay for it!
Covering the fierceness in her eyes, Annie didn't say any more, got up and got out of the car. But no matter how she looked at her back, she looked a little ashamed.
On the other hand, Tang Manman was completely stunned. Xia Zheng was... standing up for her?
She knew that it was a very simple thing for him. He was the president, and everyone here had to obey him, but there was still unavoidable sour and sweet fullness in her heart. As if she was eating a candy, and her heart was full of it's honey.
"What are you doing in a daze, not sitting down yet?" The familiar cold voice came, still so arrogant.
"Oh."
Tang Manman sat down obediently, but the moment she touched the seat, she quietly hooked his fingers and drew a circle on his palm.
Xia Zheng's body stopped immediately, and he lowered his eyes to see that the little girl had already turned her face away, looking out of the window as if nothing had happened.
It seems that in the past few days when he was away, someone became more courageous. Boss Xia raised the corners of his lips.
He didn't say much, and stopped to sit down. The bus started quickly, and because the boss was there, no one in the car dared to speak casually. Tang Manman looked out the window and was bored, when suddenly she felt the back of her hand getting hot, and her little hand slipped into a big palm.
"It's enough to just hold it for a while," the man whispered in her ear, "Hold it tightly, and don't let it go before getting out of the car."
