Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 181 Desperate for Money

Xiao Shen, however, remained as composed as an old dog, his smile a mixture of mockery and amusement. "I didn't expect Assistant Su to like this?"

Coming to her senses, Su Ying quickly sat up, her face flushed as she apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I really didn't mean to. Are you alright?"

Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine, but it's not!"

Su Ying: “…”

This, this, this!
"Then, shall I go with you to the hospital? I'll pay for it!"

What can we do? An injury there is still an injury; we can't just ignore it, can we?

Xiao Shen glanced at his watch and said, "Time is a bit tight, let's do it tomorrow!"

Well! He really took it seriously? He really goes to the doctor for everything!

Su Ying admitted it. After all, she had pressed hard just now. After all, she wasn't a man. Just because she thought it was okay didn't mean it really was okay. This could ruin a man's lifelong happiness.

The dinner was held at a very high-end hotel. Two people, a man and a woman, came across from us. The older man was the boss, and the woman, like Su Ying, was an assistant.

But Su Ying realized that this female assistant wasn't just there to accompany the boss to the dinner like she was; she was there to accompany the guests.

Sure enough, Su Ying had just come out of the restroom when her female assistant was already waiting for her at the door of the private room.

"Assistant Su, thank you for your hard work tonight. After dinner, let me take President Xiao home."

She smiled, and some things didn't need to be said explicitly; everyone understood.

Su Ying responded with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk to President Xiao?"

The female assistant gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, just watch me!"

Such a confident tone; it's obvious they're very experienced in this kind of thing.

There's a saying in the industry that female assistants and secretaries to CEOs earn several times more than company executives. Why? Because they not only have to take care of their bosses, but also "take care" of other people's bosses.

A person who holds an important position and sacrifices himself for the company's development deserves a high salary.

Su Ying realized that the big boss who had invited Xiao Shen wanted to participate in a project under the Xiao Group. Despite her best efforts to persuade him, Xiao Shen remained focused on sipping his red wine, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. This left the boss puzzled and anxiously scratching his head.

Su Ying admired Xiao Shen's passive-aggressive attitude; it could really torment a person to death.

Feeling bored, she casually took a picture without people in it and posted it on her WeChat Moments. Several comments quickly appeared below.

Su Wen: [Tell your boss to limit your attendance at these kinds of dinners in the future. There are too many shady characters; you might get taken advantage of!]

Shen Qingfeng: [This is the Zunyue Hotel, right? I happen to be having dinner with my colleagues nearby. How about I be your free driver?]

Su Ying didn't reply. Just as she was thinking about how to get back, Shen Qingfeng called. She pressed the call button, intending to reply via WeChat, but the phone rang again.

Boss Yu chuckled and teased, "Assistant Su, don't neglect your boyfriend for work. You should pick him up when you need to; we're all family here!"

Su Ying didn't explain much, "President Xiao, President Yu, please excuse me for a moment!"

As she covered her phone and hurried out, she didn't even notice how gloomy Xiao Shen's handsome face looked.

Boom!
The wine glass shattered in my palm.

The boss, surnamed Yu, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, Mr. Xiao, are you alright? Quick, have a waiter bring you a new wine glass!"

"Dr. Shen?"

"I'm sorry, Su Ying, it's inconvenient for me to type, so I had to make a phone call. I hope it didn't affect your work?" Shen Qingfeng always spoke so humbly and politely, so considerately. Even if he did something wrong, it was hard to blame him.

Su Ying glanced towards the private room. "It's nothing, I just came with the boss today to freeload!"

"Call me when you're almost done. I'll be done soon too. Don't refuse, it'll be hard to get a taxi where you are at this hour!"

"Dr. Shen, you'd better not..." (Beep beep)

The dinner ended quickly, and Boss Yu personally saw the guests out, bowing and scraping.

His female assistant winked at Su Ying, who then stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xiao, um, my friend is here to pick me up!"

"It's alright, Assistant Su, you can go first. I haven't been drinking, so I can take President Xiao home!" The female assistant squeezed next to Xiao Shen and naturally and intimately took his arm.

In that instant, a strong feeling of jealousy welled up in Su Ying's heart.

This wasn't the first time she'd sent women to Xiao Shen, and she always felt a little guilty towards him.

Xiao Shen glanced at his female assistant, then at Su Ying. He gave a cold laugh, and you could clearly see his cheek twitch.

Su Ying didn't dare to meet his gaze and forcibly looked away.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao, Xiao Li drives very steadily, let her take you home!" Mr. Yu chimed in with a hidden agenda.

Xiao Shen flicked his cigarette butt, lifted his foot, and rubbed the cigarette a few times on the ground with the tip of his shoe. "Want to give it to me? Sure! But only if you eat it!"

The female assistant swallowed hard, completely speechless.

"Mr. Yu, let's end this cooperation here!" Having sentenced someone to death, the man turned and left.

Mr. Yu was a beat slow to react, and dared not give chase. "No, Mr. Xiao, didn't we just have a good talk? Please reconsider, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao..."

The scene was completely unexpected for Su Ying. Xiao Shen seemed very angry, and even the wind he stirred up was painful. He suddenly stopped, and Su Ying couldn't brake in time, so she bumped straight into his back.

hiss!
"It really hurts!" Su Ying rubbed her forehead. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to vaguely hear Xiao Shen say, "Serves you right."

"Assistant Su, are you so desperate for money that you've gone crazy?"

"what?"

"I'm already paying you well enough, and you're still doing pimping? I might as well introduce you to be a madam!"

Su Ying: “…”

The way she insulted him was quite skillful, but Su Ying felt guilty, extremely guilty, and this was truly her fault.

"No, Mr. Xiao, I thought you and..."

Xiao Shen interrupted with a cold laugh, "You think what you think? Don't always just think what you think. If what you think is true, then you don't have to do anything every day, you can just think about it!"

The man launched into a tirade, leaving Su Ying speechless.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, my friend is coming to pick me up in a bit. Shall I call a designated driver for you?"

Xiao Shen turned around, blocking all the light and shadow, making it impossible to see his expression. "Alright then, give me a ride since you're going the same way!"

Su Ying: “…”

No, that's not how you play games.

"Su Ying!"

When Shen Qingfeng saw her come out, he quickly got out of the car and waved to greet her.

He was dressed in light-colored clothes, clean and gentle, and his infectious smile gave people a very comfortable feeling.

"And this is..." Only then did he notice the man next to Su Ying.

Wearing a well-tailored business suit, a black overcoat that extended past his knees, and a Montblanc bespoke watch, he exuded an air of nobility from head to toe.

Shen Qingfeng's intuition told him that this man was no ordinary person.
