Rebirth Must Be Happy

"What is my sister doing?"

"You're doing your homework in the library, what's wrong?"

"Are you coming home tonight? I miss you."

"No return!"

"Go back!"

Xu Jinhuan endured it for two days, and only called Xie Wanqing on Friday. Unfortunately, it seemed that Sister Xie was used to being free at school and was unwilling to come back to be humiliated, so she resolutely refused to return.

He wasn't in a hurry; he could dawdle at the company on Saturday, since he had plenty of time.

Chen Xingzhu has been very proactive at work lately, coming in almost every day unless she has classes. However, she is not as free as Xu Jinhuan. Without the halo of CEO Xu, she still has to participate in any school or class activities.

"You were actually involved in drawing the original artwork this time?"

Early in the morning, the three people arrived from three different places. Xu Jinhuan came from Jianqiao Bowu, while Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing each came from their respective schools. The difference was that the former had a driver, while the latter drove alone.

—Sister Xie changed her license plate to a local Beijing license plate, so she can drive even though there are traffic restrictions.

When Xu Jinhuan arrived at the office, the two were already sitting together chatting. Chen Xingzhu was still working, while Xie Wanqing was chatting idly.

"Um,"

Chen Xingzhu sounded quite pleased. She had been studying very hard lately, and everyone in the company knew that she was the actual boss's wife. Seeing that the boss's wife clearly wanted to make a name for herself, some sensible people naturally offered her a way out.

Anyway, there's still a review process later. If her drawing isn't up to standard, it will be sent back for redrawing. Therefore, Xu Jinhuan didn't object, letting the little girl find some sense of accomplishment.

Chen Xingzhu probably figured there would be an approval process anyway, so she didn't refuse and accepted the task.

Who did you draw?

Xie Wanqing's tone was somewhat envious. Although she didn't have any shares in the company, as President Xu's female secretary, she was still treated with respect by everyone.

She is usually quite busy because Xu Jinhuan has classes and many things are communicated directly to her. She also has her own classes and assignments, and Xie Zhiqiang is not yet familiar with many aspects of the online store's operations, so she often has to contact her sister. Therefore, she is very busy every day.

But it's hard to say what the point of this busyness is.

Unlike Chen Xingzhu, who drew the original artwork and then made it visible in the game.

"Xie Daoyun".

"Original artwork?"

"No, it's Dragon Boat Festival skin."

As they were talking, their colleagues greeted them as "General Manager Xu," and the two of them turned around and caught sight of Xu Jinhuan's arrival, but neither of them paid any attention to her. Xie Wanqing continued to ask, "Should we draw a rice dumpling on her?"

"No need, just draw a colorful rope, look."

The two pretended not to see him, but Xu Jinhuan had no intention of fading away. He came up behind Chen Xingzhu, coughed, and said, "You drew very well, keep it up!"

Chen Xingzhu ignored him, but Xie Wanqing, being more gentle, was afraid he would lose face, so she turned around and said softly, "Go to work, don't worry about us."

"Okay, I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Xu Jinhuan was quite mindful of her image at the company, but she didn't deliberately avoid suspicion. Instead, she consciously let everyone "misunderstand" that she had ambiguous relationships with Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing.

Chen Xingzhu doesn't really need to worry. The girl is the third largest shareholder, and her father sent people to handle the HR and finance departments. It's good enough if she doesn't bully others in the company.

Although Xie Wanqing has the identity of a secretary, her personality is too soft. Coupled with her gentle and charming temperament and her overly proud figure, she is still very easy to attract covetousness.

A little ambiguity is a way to protect her.

"Xingzhu said she's going to The Voice of China in a couple of days."

Xie Wanqing stayed with Chen Xingzhu for a while, then came upstairs and sat down next to Xu Jinhuan, whispering, "Are you going?"

"Forget it, I won't be able to refuel there anyway."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "If you want to go, sister, just go and take a look. I'll wait until the finals to go."

Xie Wanqing asked, "What if we don't make it to the finals?"

"Not very likely."

"...Then I'll wait until the finals to go."

Xie Wanqing was somewhat inclined to go, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "I've been quite busy lately... I heard they're saying the company is moving offices?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "I have that idea. Sister, would you like a private office when the time comes?"

"I'm just a secretary, why would I need an office?"

Xie Wanqing glared at him, hesitated for a moment, then typed on her phone, "Do you think I need to change jobs?"

Xu Jinhuan glanced at her phone, then turned to look at her with some surprise before typing, "What does sister want to do?"

Xie Wanqing: "I was watching Xingzhu paint, and suddenly I felt something. I felt that her work was more meaningful."

Xu Jinhuan: "Your work is very meaningful."

Xu Jinhuan: "My sister is my right and left hand. What would I do without her?"

Xie Wanqing glanced at him sideways, feeling touched and pleased by his answer, but she pursed her lips and typed, "What if I want to change to another job?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Of course that's possible!"

Xu Jinhuan: "Tell me what you want to do, sister."

He really liked Xie Wanqing as his secretary, but if Xie Wanqing had other career plans, he would naturally respect that.

However, according to his judgment, Xie Wanqing was not very career-oriented, otherwise she would not have gradually handed over the operation of Qingfanghao to Xie Zhiqiang.

If that's the case, why is she acting like this today?

Xie Wanqing's situation shouldn't be one of deliberate affectation; saying this probably means she was genuinely touched by Chen Xingzhu and somewhat envious of her...

So, it's actually because you're jealous?

Xu Jinhuan understood something, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Sister, you can think about it first. As long as you've thought it through, I'll support whatever you do."

"Really?"

Xie Wanqing also lowered her voice and asked him, then thought for a moment and typed, "If I don't work as your secretary anymore, will you agree to that?"

This statement is clearly a trap. If you don't agree, it's like lying to her. If you agree, it means you "don't miss me at all." What is meant by respect might be misinterpreted as a lack of affection for her.

'Ha, women!'

Xu Jinhuan thought to herself, but typed back, "Although I am very, very, very reluctant, as long as my sister is happy, I will be happy too, and I will agree."

After sending it, I glanced at her and typed another message: "How about you do something else for half the year and be my secretary for the other half? Or we can take turns on a weekly or monthly basis."

"What kind of job is that?"

Xie Wanqing rolled her eyes at him. Even though they hadn't discussed anything about what kind of work she did, she inexplicably felt much better and stopped worrying about whether Chen Xingzhu's work was meaningful or her own was meaningless.

“If you don’t have it, create it. For example, my sister can spend six months starting a business, try to lose it all in six months, and then come back to be my secretary in the second half of the year.”

Xu Jinhuan lowered her head and typed, very generously, "Don't worry, no matter how much my sister loses, I'll make sure she earns it back."

Xie Wanqing glared at him: "What if I lose a lot of money?"

Xu Jinhuan: "How much? Several hundred million?"

Xu Jinhuan: "It's okay, I'll make it up to you in one night."

Although Sister Xie had accumulated some experience in this area, she wasn't that sensitive to these topics. She didn't understand his flirting and thought he really meant it. She glared at him, but then her face turned red, probably thinking about how to repay President Xu.

"It's time to go to work."

The two chattered quietly, and the other colleagues didn't dare to listen, let alone care. So after they finished talking, Xie Wanqing realized it was already time for work, and quickly sat up straight to avoid "the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked".

Xu Jinhuan is currently involved in game engine development, which is a truly technical job that relates to the fundamental aspects of the game experience. If the game lags or even fails to achieve basic smoothness, it will basically never become a hit, so it is definitely not something that can be ignored.

The morning passed quickly. During the lunch break, he brought Xie Wanqing downstairs with him. Seeing Chen Xingzhu still drawing diligently, he casually picked up a strand of her long hair and said with a smile, "Ms. Chen, are you working so hard? It's time to eat." "You two go ahead and eat."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him and saw that he was standing close to Xie Wanqing and seemed to be in a bad mood. She continued to draw and said casually, "I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later."

"Uh……"

Xu Jinhuan was caught off guard, not expecting the little girl to make trouble at this time.

The problem is that he felt he hadn't done anything; it was the little girl who couldn't stand it and skipped her "duty" early. And even so, he didn't let Xie Wanqing take her place.

Besides, it's already Saturday, and normally it's time for the rotation...

This morning after arriving at the company, he was chatting with Chen Xingzhu and watching her paint. There was no way she could know that he was chatting with Xie Wanqing upstairs...

If that's the case, why get angry?

While Xu Jinhuan was still pondering, Xie Wanqing said softly, "Okay, then let's go eat first."

? ?
Xu Jinhuan turned to look at Xie Wanqing and sensed something unusual. This wasn't like Xie Wanqing's usual style!

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded, still holding a drawing pen and drawing on the board, her eyes fixed on the big screen, looking very serious and absorbed.

Seeing that Xu Jinhuan didn't move, Xie Wanqing reached out and tugged at his sleeve, urging, "Let's go."

'Are you two making things harder for me?'

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but complain inwardly, even suspecting that the two of them were in cahoots. However, he couldn't ignore Chen Xingzhu's feelings, but he also had to consider Xie Wanqing's feelings. So he turned around and followed Xie Wanqing away, but quickly stopped and turned back to ask Chen Xingzhu, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you."

Chen Xingzhu said without turning her head, "No need, I'll go eat by myself later."

"..."

Xu Jinhuan felt certain: she wanted him dead!
But it was impossible to let Xie Wanqing go to eat by herself, especially since there were other colleagues watching. So she nodded and said, "Then I'll go eat with my sister first."

???

Colleagues nearby, unable to avoid the conversation, were stunned by Mr. Xu's answer, their eyes widening in disbelief, and they nearly knelt down in awe.

In front of the beautiful boss, he said he'd have dinner with his beautiful female secretary... accompany...

Is Mr. Xu really that brave?

Chen Xingzhu didn't answer, so Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to leave with Xie Wanqing first.

Several colleagues glanced at the departing figures of General Manager Xu and Secretary Xie, then at General Manager Chen who was intently drawing. They looked at each other, and then, without prior arrangement, they all held their breath and walked very quietly, afraid of attracting General Manager Chen's attention.

Although Mr. Chen didn't seem angry, anyone who had worked here for a while could see the entanglement between Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen, and Secretary Xie.
It would be strange if President Chen was in a good mood at this time!

It's best not to invite bad luck...

Have you noticed that a lot of people are watching us?

Xie Wanqing was used to eating with Chen Xingzhu, but today she noticed something was off. Whether it was choosing dishes or sitting down together, the eyes and expressions of some of their colleagues around them were different.

She seemed puzzled and asked Xu Jinhuan, "What are they looking at?"

“…How would I know?”

Xu Jinhuan also pretended to be stupid. This matter was really hard to talk about. Even if she did, she couldn't say it here. She had to coax her home first and then talk about it. That way, even if she got angry, she would have the last resort to calm her down.

If it doesn't work the first time, try the second time; if it doesn't work the second time, try the third time; if it doesn't work the third time, then... surely it should be gone by the third time?
If we don't get rid of it soon, people will disappear!

"Maybe he thinks you look beautiful today?"

Xu Jinhuan deliberately changed the subject, laughing and joking, "Sister's fashion sense has become more and more professional and beautiful lately..."

Xie Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head to eat, and then smoothed her hair, saying, "Should we ask Xingzhu what she wants to eat? I'll bring it up for her..."

? ?
Xu Jinhuan stared wide-eyed at Sister Xie, feeling as if she were seeing her for the first time:

You deliberately made her angry, and now you want to take away my method of coaxing her?

"what happened?"

Seeing him staring at her, Xie Wanqing blinked in confusion, "Aren't you going to ask?"

"Go ahead and ask."

Xu Jinhuan sighed and buried his head in his food, feeling that Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing were acting strangely during this part.

Of course, it's normal for them to react strangely in this situation. It would be strange if they didn't. After all, even if they take showers often, they will inevitably have some strange thoughts at times.

It's like even the closest of sisters wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that the other is using the same toothbrush and chopsticks they've used...

Besides, I am undoubtedly thicker than a toothbrush or chopsticks... oops! I am much more important than a toothbrush or chopsticks.

However, it doesn't seem likely that they were deliberately picking a fight or trying to embarrass me, because if that were the case, they wouldn't have needed to cooperate with me.

In short, I don't understand...

He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up. While eating, he sent Chen Xingzhu another message, repeatedly confirming whether he should bring her some food.

But she replied, "I'm home."

Xu Jinhuan: "?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Huh?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Why did you suddenly leave?"

Chen Xingzhu: "I feel a little unwell."

Xu Jinhuan: "What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Should we go to the hospital?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Did you send a driver to pick you up? Let's go straight to the hospital. I'll come find you."

He sent a series of messages, looked at them himself, and then continued to ask, "Where do you feel unwell?"

Chen Xingzhu: "It's okay, no need to go to the hospital."

Chen Xingzhu: "I feel uncomfortable."

Xu Jinhuan: ...

This time it's confirmed, Chen Xingzhu was deliberately picking a fight!

But the fact that she was willing to say it openly indicates that she wasn't truly angry; she was probably just a little emotional and upset.

To put it more directly: it's about being cute!
I want to comfort myself...

I'm familiar with this!

"Snapped"

Just as Xu Jinhuan was about to continue typing to coax someone, he saw a pair of chopsticks reach over from the opposite side and slap them against his bowl.

Looking up, I saw that Sister Xie's gentle and dignified face had turned stern, her expressionless look almost like she had learned it from Chen Xingzhu. Her tone was also a bit stiff as she said, "We're eating, can you please stop playing on your phone?"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan sat there, and for a short time he had the illusion that he had been pranked.

Otherwise, how can it be explained?
Are they really looking for trouble?

It's normal and understandable to nitpick, but to nitpick so blatantly is a bit of a departure from one's public image, isn't it?

You two aren't usually like this, are you?

Huh?
Xu Jinhuan thought about it and actually came up with a reasonable explanation:

Could it be that they were both too intense, and neither of them could handle it? They both wanted the other to bear more, but neither felt they could. They were both too thin-skinned, or their knowledge was too limited, so they couldn't accept or think of anything that they could bear at the same time. That's why they started to quarrel.
He felt this was much more reasonable than them getting jealous and trying to embarrass him! (End of Chapter)
