69 New Boss
Xi Wan pursed her lips and took a step back, but she continued insisting, “Chairman Su, please reconsider it. Although I can’t be sure that my company will be profitable now, this can be considered as a test of your judgment.”
Su Xun still shook his head and said, “I won’t fight a battle I’m not confident in.”
“Don’t invest if you don’t want to invest then.” Xi Wan did not want to be snubbed. She got up and went upstairs, ready to take a shower and change her clothes.
Su Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Wan’s back.
Xi Wan went upstairs to fill the bathtub with water. She took off her clothes and lay down in the bathtub. It was so comfortable that she heaved long sigh of relief.
The system popped up at the right time. [Have you really decided to sign a contract with Jiang Ran? She’s the female protagonist’s good friend. If you sign a contract with her, you’re obviously going against the female protagonist. When the time comes, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to save you if that plug-in system does anything to you.]
Xi Wan slowly took out a facial mask and carefully applied it on her face. “You’re being unreasonable. Jiang Ran is unemployed now. If it wasn’t for me, she would still be unemployed. That female protagonist should be thanking me. I might not only be able to bring her good friend back into the entertainment industry, but I might even be able to give her better resources.”
[But the fact is that the female protagonist can also give Jiang Ran resources with the help of the plug-in system.] The system said.
Xi Wan said, “That’s why I’m in such a hurry. If I let Zhao Fei get there before me, all my plans will be ruined then. I’m just paving the way for my future. I don’t care if it’s a plug-in system or an auxiliary system.”
The system knew Xi Wan’s habits and could not help but sigh and say: [Okay then, I can only wish you good luck. Speaking of which, you’re the only one in your company. You don’t even have a manager. So, are you going to act as Jiang Ran’s manager after she signs the contract with you?]
“Of course not.” Xi Wan said, “I just haven’t had the time to look for one yet. Compared to being a manager, it is more important to get Jiang Ran to sign the contract quickly. Don’t I also have you? Since you’re so resourceful, why don’t you recommend a few reliable people to me then? That way, I won’t have to look for them and I can also use them with confidence.”
The system really wanted to complain but it still searched around and finally listed a few names. [Song Hui, Qing Ling, Han Shan, Yi Hai. These few people are not important characters and the final ending is the same as an ordinary passers-by’s ending. They are not important characters. As long as the changes are not too big, it would not affect the plot much. I’ve checked and these few people do not have scheming characters. You can be more at ease if you use them as your managers. Moreover, the first three are all managers. You don’t even need to provide them with any training and they can take on the job directly.]
“That is pretty good.” Xi Wan chuckled. “I’ll contact them in a while.”
When she came out of the shower, Chen Tong had already prepared supper. Su Xun sat at the table and more than half of the food in his bowl had already been eaten.
Chen Tong stood at the side, hoping that Madam would hurry down and eat with Mr. Su.
Before Chen Tong came here, she had also heard people say that every time Su Xun ate, he would always have a very ugly expression on his face. Those who did not know would think that he was being tortured.
However, Su Xun’s expression had been very normal during the past few meals. Although he was still expressionless, it was much better than his previous wrinkled face.
Chen Tong naturally assumed that all credit should be given to Xi Wan.
She believed that it must be Madam’s existence changed Mr. Su so much!
Xi Wan sat at the dining table and Chen Tong immediately went to get her a bowl of noodles. This time, it was not spaghetti bolognese but a very light bowl of soup noodles.
Xi Wan ate very quickly and did not even communicate with Su Xun throughout the meal. She finished the bowl of noodles in five minutes.
It was also a rare occasion for Su Xun to be in a good mood and he even said gently, “Eat slowly, there’s still more if you’re not full.”
Chen Tong was like their fan who was standing at the front line and watching their display of affection. Her heart was beating fast. She was looking forward to what Xi Wan would say next, but Xi Wan had never played by the rules. “Chairman Su, why are you suddenly speaking to me so gently? Have you decided to invest in my company?”
Chen Tong was stunned and Su Xun was also silent.
When Xi Wan did not get a response from Su Xun, she said, “You’re not going to invest in my company, so why are you suddenly speaking to me so gently? You gave me a fright. I thought something happened.”
She quickly finished her supper, got up, and went upstairs, leaving Su Xun alone at the dining table.
The system kept shouting: [This is the first time the antagonist has been so gentle to you! But what about you? What the hell were you doing just now!]
