I'm a Transmigrated Woman Who Is the CEO's Arranged Bride
Chapter 15: Ulterior Motives
……
Xiao Ming glanced at his private office, where a floor-to-ceiling window offered a view of the shimmering artificial lake outside the building.
Two money trees, lush and green, were placed in the corner.
He looked in the mirror repeatedly, his emotions running high.
A little while later, the junior came over.
He was going to pick her up.
When he saw her again, he was no longer a penniless student council vice president, but the vice president of Xingchen TV, one of the top TV stations in the country.
He was full of ambition!
My phone buzzed with a message from my junior, Xia Xiao: "Senior, I'm almost there! Come pick me up, okay? <Yay>".
Xiao Ming instantly forgot everything else; a kissing emoji made his heart race. His junior hadn't changed.
He hurriedly walked out to the radio station entrance, jogged over to help open the car door and get his junior out, and confidently led her to his office.
He was completely oblivious to the surprised looks from others.
The guest who came with Xia Xiao was a level above her, a veteran top star. They thought it was the deputy director of Xingchen TV station who came to pick them up, and thought it was quite thoughtful. But it turned out that the deputy director was blind and only saw Xia Xiao.
Xia Xiao, looking completely innocent, left without saying a word, following Director Xiao. The veteran leading lady was left standing at the door, trembling with anger and cold.
The station also thought the deputy director was there to pick up a guest. The deputy director always liked to associate with useful people, but they never expected such a misunderstanding to happen this time.
When they arrived at the office, Xiao Ming poured water for his junior colleague, using the Doraemon glass she had given him.
Xia Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to see it: "Senior, you actually still kept it! I'm so happy!"
She got this glass as a free gift when she bought tissues, and since she happened to see her senior that day, she gave it to him on a whim.
Xiao Ming was also very happy. He never expected that the junior classmate he thought had a pretty face back then would become a big star.
At that time, although he liked her very much, he had higher goals and did not want to get caught up in petty romance. They did not officially get together, but their relationship was always somewhat ambiguous, and they were often seen together.
When they met again, the junior had become much prettier, with fair skin, as if she had been reborn. The ambiguity they had once shared rekindled.
"How have you been these past few years?"
Xia Xiao also reminisced about her youthful days.
She liked her senior very much back then and chased after him every day, but he didn't give her a clear response. If he had responded to her, none of what happened later would have happened.
When I saw the senior I liked back then, he was still wearing glasses and was as handsome as I had imagined him to be.
"I'm doing alright, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Xia Xiao saw her handsome senior from her student days gazing at her affectionately.
I couldn't help but think about my own grievances.
Remember us, 101kanshu.com
Yesterday, she tried to be affectionate with Ouyang Si, but he didn't respond, which led to reporters writing all sorts of nonsense about her being arrogant on set.
She couldn't help but inquire about Ouyang Si's schedule, only to find out that he had actually gone to see his fiancée yesterday.
They clearly said they didn't like it, that it was just a business arrangement, and quickly dealt with it.
But he actually went to see her behind my back!
Xia Xiao was very angry and felt wronged; all boys were big liars.
"It's okay. If you want to be on the show in the future, just let me know anytime," Xiao Ming said magnanimously.
Xia Xiao was anxious to clear her name because of the previous trending topic. Although the trending topic was quickly suppressed, the internet remembers and there were still some rumors. Today's variety show is very famous and has invited celebrities of good status, so she came through her senior's connections.
"Is that okay? Senior is the best to me!" Xia Xiaoxiao said, tilting her head back.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, revealing her beautiful neck.
Today she wore a black Dior haute couture dress with heavily embroidered, subtly patterned fabric and a deep V-neck that revealed not only her fair neck but also a hint of her bust line, making her look both dignified and sexy.
Xiao Ming saw a reflection of her in the image of a junior from a few years ago, wearing a white T-shirt and casual pants, who also looked up at him with the same expression, as if she were about to jump into his arms.
He suddenly reached out and hugged her.
It's uncontrollable.
Xia Xiao stiffened for a moment, then obediently reached out and hugged her senior.
This was her ambition when she was in school.
She buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Senior, I don't like Shen Yue from your station. She bullied me. Can you help me get revenge?"
If others said that, Xiao Ming would find it strange, but when he was Xiao Xiao's senior, he helped her with things in the same way, so he felt very close to her.
"Okay." Xiao Ming smiled and even picked up his junior and spun her around.
They loosened their grip, like old friends seeing each other again.
Only the friendship continues.
In that instant, both of them were transported back to their school days.
A relationship that has been lost and then regained is especially precious.
The atmosphere was both ambiguous and intimate.
Looking at the younger female student who was much prettier than before, Xiao Ming finally mustered the courage to confess: "Xiao Xiao, I like you."
Xia Xiaoxiao bit her lip and finally said, "I'm sorry, senior, I... I already have a boyfriend."
Xiao Ming paused for a moment, then said generously, "Haha, it's nothing. I just felt like I owed you a confession. If he doesn't treat you well, come find me anytime."
"Senior, I was just joking. Shen Yue was having dinner with my boyfriend behind my back, and I was just a little upset for a moment. If he's so easily seduced by a mistress, I won't leave him. Senior, you don't need to do anything for me. It might affect your work and be bad for you."
When others said the same things, Xiao Ming would think they were manipulative, but when his junior said them, he felt incredibly considerate and wanted to do something for her.
Seeing that it was almost time, he personally escorted his junior to the program and instructed the host to take care of her. Xiao Ming returned to his office and looked at the Montblanc pen his junior had given him. He was very happy. His junior really cared about him and had even prepared a gift for him.
Xiao Ming twirled the pen in his hand, then, as if struck by a thought, he called Shen Yue and asked her to come to his office.
Shen Yue, who was eating a peach: ...
What kind of trouble are you up to now? Can't you just say it over the phone?
Her outdoor task today was relatively simple: to interview people at a newly opened food street in the city and praise its cleanliness. That's why she set off late and didn't expect to be caught by Deputy Director Xiao again.
Shen Yue went past unhappily.
The others winked at Shen Yue. They used to think that Shen Yue was a rich second-generation with connections and didn't like her. Now they knew it was a misunderstanding. Miss Shen's education was more than enough to work at the TV station. Moreover, her family went bankrupt and she was being bullied by the snobbish Director Xiao. They felt sorry for her.
The cattle and horses shared a sense of kinship again.
……
Shen Yue arrived at Deputy Director Xiao's office.
Deputy Director Xiao was very serious today.
Xiao Ming sat in his chair, the lingering ambiguous atmosphere between him and his junior classmate still seemingly present in the office.
Shen Yue strode in.
That elegance vanished instantly, and it even became lewd and ridiculous.
Miss Shen always had a straight back, indifferent eyes, and kept everyone at arm's length.
She was stunningly beautiful; even in a simple white T-shirt, she seemed more beautiful and proud than those in haute couture.
At first, he felt inferior to Miss Shen because he couldn't have her, but now he also felt a contradictory sense of victory.
Xiao Ming was furious when his junior said that Shen Yue was dating her boyfriend behind her back. He didn't believe her and didn't think Shen Yue would flirt with someone else's boyfriend.
He was furious because she would rather date other people and endure hardship outdoors than accept his advances.
Xiao Ming was furious inside, but he said calmly, "I've let Xiao Li take over the outdoor segment of today's midday news. You have a more important program to run. The agricultural channel urgently needs an outdoor live broadcast. Your hosting skills are excellent, so I recommend you."
Shen Yue found these words strange and sensed that they meant no good.
She took over the assignment and looked at the requirements: "Record the sick cattle incident in Qingshi Natural Village, Dagua Township, Hekou Town".
"Qingshi Natural Village in Dagua Township, Hekou Town, is a rare primeval forest village that still retains the tradition of drinking mountain spring water. Recently, strange things have happened in their village, including the cattle raised by the villagers..."
Shen Yue quickly finished reading the contents. Oh wow! Great! She was just thinking of going to the deep mountains and forests to see if there were any alternative herbs. She was worried about not getting paid if she took leave, and now she had been given a paid mission. Perfect!
"Okay, thank you, Deputy Director Xiao. I'll go prepare now." Shen Yue readily agreed and turned to leave.
Xiao Ming: ...?
Xiao Ming glanced at his private office, where a floor-to-ceiling window offered a view of the shimmering artificial lake outside the building.
