Sweet Chief Secretary

“Mother, do you see what Little Yan’s people have done?” First Madame couldn’t bear their own efforts finally benefited Shen Yan.

However, that’s what it came to be. Could she make reverse the time?

Old Madame glanced at President Ning and patted gently First Madame’s hand in silence. With the help of Secretary Yang, she went to say hello to several old friends.

What’s the situation? First Madame was very angry but could only bear her anger. It was almost at the end of the banquet when Shen Mo came back.

As he stood at the hall, those who were in support of him circled him and even some of them grumbled for him on the spot.

Shen Mo was generous, explaining as he had something to deal with, it’s proper of Shen Yan to replace him. As he said many good words for Shen Yan, those people took a dim view of Shen Yan even worse.

Shen Qiang, who kept silent all night, could not bear any more. What the hell? Even those starlets don’t show off so much. Gross!

“What are you doing, Little Qiang?” Qi Guoqiang jerked him halfway.

Even Shen Yan next to him waved his head against him, so he could only stop with his eyes still fixed at the direction of Shen Mo.

“If your second brother cannot even shoulder such little pressure, why should we support him to be the president?” Qi Guoqiang said mildly by the side. Along the journey, he had been watching, so had Old Madame and everyone in the company.

Justice needs no speech. Qi Guoqiang believed that all of them would choose a satisfying president.

Of course, Yang Weiye by the side had been aware of the whole story. He just smiled plainly and continued chit-chatting with guests next to him.

“President Yang, you have a lot of leisure.” President Ning came over to Yang Weiye.

“President Ning, I took a relief because you came back, didn’t I?” Yang Weiye didn’t just try to be polite. Thanks to Ning’s prestige in Shen Family, he could really take some burden off Yang Weiye’s shoulder.

“You must be tired in these years.” It’s hard to say which one of the two young masters was cannier. In the dilemma between them, it’s good for Yang Weiye not to be pressed into a sandwich.

But President really respected his ability to freely advance or retreat.

“It’s untrue to say I’m not tired completely. But that’s almost it. The one-year deadline is approaching. I will be free no matter who is to take the position.” Yang Weiye said with a laugh, toasting with President Ning.

When it came to this, President Ning really wanted to ask Yang Weiye who he’s looking highly of more, “Which of them do you think will finally take the presidency of Shen Group.”

“What do you think?” Yang Weiye asked instead of answering.

The two could not help but burst into laughter. First Madame by the side felt uncomfortable looking at their behavior. At the moment Xia Yu accidentally passed by in front of her. No one knew whether she bumped into Xia Yu accidentally or intentionally.

The wine on her hand almost spilled all over Xia Yu. Before Xia Yu started to say anything, First Madame screamed, “Xia Yu, do you respect me or not. Why did you intentionally bumped into me instead of reminding me?”

“I’m sorry, First Aunt. I did not do it on purpose.” Even it was not her fault, Xia Yu apologized on her own initiative. As for the personality of First Madame, she’s quite aware of, so it’s unworthy to quarrel with her.

“Do you think apology works?” But First Madame didn’t agree. She stopped Xia Yu, asking her to find out a solution.

Old Madame at the side could not bear it. It’s true that she is old, but her eyes and ears were good enough to know what’s going on. It’s a good day for Ningjing’s father, whom she had not seen for years, so she could have tolerated.

But the First Madame and his son missed at the beginning of the banquet and then asked their people to propagate that it was done by Shen Yan and his purpose was to steal the show from Shen Mo. And now they are picking at Xia Yu. When would they settle down?

“Little Yu, come here. I have something to talk with you.” Old Madame directly asked Xia Yu away without even looking at First Madame.

“It seems Xia Yu’s really tactful.” President said to Yang Weiye by the side.

“This daughter of Lao Xia is really canny. Otherwise, how could Young Master Yan be domesticated by her?” Yang Weiye looked highly of Xia Yu, the young girl.

“Little Yan is really hard to be controlled.” President Ning agreed with what Yang Weiye said.

Then several people came across to say hello to them, so they continued their social interactions. What happened just now was over, which was ignored by all on the spot other than one person.

Chen Wenxuan was really anxious for several days after his request for help was not responded by Xia Yu. But who’s he? He was eloquent enough to win the policeman’s compassion, who arranged to send him off after receiving a limited gold watch from him, which was his only dear stuff by then.

After coming out, he totally disappeared.

The first reason was that Xia Yu totally forgot him; another reason was that he felt ashamed and discouraged to appear in public because the parents of Bao Na had announced that they would at once beat him to death after finding him.

Chen Wenxuan was not who he was before. He had no choice but secretly work in the village. Originally, he didn’t want to get involved with anything related to Xia Yu, but it happened that President Ning was holding a birthday banquet here, where he met Xia Yu, who lived a successful life, brought complicated feelings in his mind.

Especially the scene where Old Madame took care of Xia Yu added more misery to his feeling. He felt morose and unacceptable that the woman who used to be his partner now is in love with another man.

Chen Wenxuan watched for a long time in a corner with his fist clenched. He came up with a plan to use every means to grab Xia Yu back.

“Chen Wenxuan, the chief cook is looking for you everywhere. You even dare slack here. The banquet is about to end, so go to the kitchen to clean up.” The foreman patted Chen Wenxuan’s shoulder, asking him to work immediately.

“Yes, sir.” Chen Wenxuan hurried to respond nodding and bowing.

“Be quick. I will cut your salary if you slack again.” The foreman stared at him once again and went away asking other servants to work.

He was just a little foreman. But look at him! He behaved like a big boss. Wait and see! Chen Wenxuan thought he would let the foreman serve him a few days after he succeeded in pursuing his girlfriend.

Against the back figure of the foreman, Chen Wenxuan booed relentlessly. After looking into the direction of Xia Yu once again, he turned back and went to the kitchen to do the cleaning work.

Xia Yu didn’t know about all of this. After chatting with the Old Madame for a while, the Old Madame asked her and Shen Yan to send her back first. Knowing the Old Madame was over 80 years old, the president didn’t ask her to stay anymore and personally sent them to the car.

“Little Yu, it’s time for you to go back and help Little Yan now.” On the way, Old Madame said.

“Leave me a few days, since there are still several projects in the Ruyi Tower, and I have to finish them.” She was sure to go back, which must be explained as Old Madame had asked her to do so.

“She only listens to your suggestion, grandma. I asked her several times, but she always refused.” Shen Yan said with a smile.

“Yep! After all, you are not grandma.” Xia Yu rolled her eyes against Shen Yan and said.

The people in the car burst out laughing after hearing her words. As they chatted and laughed, the journey seemed really short and they arrived in the city soon. Shen Yan and Xia Yu went back to their own villa after sending Old Madame to her old house.

The second day, Cai Yanyan, who had been out of touch with Xia Yu for long, called her inviting her to attend one of her private party.

Shen Qiang told the general picture to Xia Yu about the event happening in the bathroom last time, the event about the kitty, and the event about the theft in the rural restaurant.

Although Xia Yu didn’t interrogate Cai Yanyan, during this period, she intended to avoid her. And Cai Yanyan also didn’t take an initiative to contact Xia Yu. But unexpectedly, Cai Yanyan called her today.

As the event had passed and what she had done didn’t bring a catastrophe, Xia Yu didn’t want to mention it again. After all, Cai Yanyan suffered a lot too. It’s hard for her to succeed struggling only by herself without anyone helping her in the showbiz.

She had no choice but sold out to Zhou Jiamin. As they had been colleagues once, Xia Yu forgave her. But she really didn’t want to social today, “Yanyan, I’m sorry. I have a headache due to the late banquet I went to last night.”

“Is it because you disdain having a connection with an infamous starlet like me, so you rejected me? Actually, it’s my birthday today and I just want to have fun.” From another end of the telephone passed the pathetic voice of Cai Yanyan.

Hearing it’s her birthday today, Xia Yu felt that if she refused again, it would be too aloof as they were colleagues, “Give me your address.”

“Okay, okay, I will send it now.”

Cai Yanyan’s tone changed into a hilarious one. Then she told her address to Xia Yu. Fearing Xia Yu would forget it she even sent a message again after hanging off the phone.

Xia Yu first bought a gift. She received a call from Xiao Tang when she was in the car since Tang was so excited hearing Xia Yu’s coming back. She said that she already cleaned up the office for Xia Yu, only waiting for her to arrive.

“Thank you! You must be tired. Now I’m going to attend Cai Yanyan’s birthday party.” Xia Yu also felt happy as they could work together again. But now she needed to find Cai Yanyan so she had no time to talk with Xiao Tang.

“Cai Yanyan? She used to get very close to Zeng Mina. Now that Zeng Mina is not reliable anymore, she turns and tries to fix her relationship with her old colleague. She’s trying to seek help from you by asking you to attend her party!” Xiao Tang’s voice was full of disdain towards Cai Yanyan on the phone.

Xiao Tang looked down upon people like Cai Yanyan and had gone straight in front of Xia Yu.

Xia Yu laughed and hung off the phone. The party was held in a personal villa which was not big but tasteful. There was a garden in front of it as well as a spring.

Cai Yanyan ardently invited Xia Yu into the room, where it’s loud and a group of men and women wiggling their bodies. All of them were very strange to Xia Yu, who was confused then. Cai Yanyan didn’t invite other colleagues in the company?

“Have a drink, Xia Yu.” Then Cai Yanyan handed over her a cocktail.

Xia Yu took it over having a sip and then put it away. She took the present out and handed it to her, saying, “Happy birthday!”

“Thank you!”

Cai Yanyan took the present, but her expression was not happy. Instead, it was a kind of complicated sentiment with her frown brows sending out a dim sense of confusion.
