Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

Chapter 17: Working under the same roof as his ex-girlfriend, is it possible to rekindle their old f

"Hey, review these reports and give them to General Manager Jiang for his signature."

Xu Chaoxi, puzzled, accepted the task: "Isn't this the mission Assistant Deng gave you?"

"It's my task, but I'm letting you do it." Cen Hui's tone was arrogant, and her eyes were filled with disdain.

Xu Chaoxi didn't understand. Cen Hui's attitude was fine yesterday, so why did it suddenly change completely today?

"This isn't my job, so I can't do it for you." Xu Chaoxi stood up and handed the document to her untouched.

Seeing this, Cen Hui reached out to take it, but suddenly withdrew her hand when she let go.

With a "thud," the file fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Pick it up!" Cen Hui's voice carried the air of a matter-of-fact command.

Helpless, Xu Chaoxi squatted down to pick up the document, but as soon as she touched it, Cen Hui stomped on the back of her hand.

"Ah!" Her heel was very sharp and stepped right on the bone on the back of her hand, and quite hard. Xu Chaoxi's face changed instantly in pain.

Cen Hui, however, held onto the back of her hand tightly. Seeing her face turn pale, she withdrew her leg and said insincerely, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I stepped on you. Are you alright?"

Xu Chaoxi endured the pain, picked up the document, and placed it on the table.

"I...I'm fine, this document..."

"Since there's nothing else, you can finish this document. Although the work was assigned to me, it's everyone's responsibility. Since President Jiang gave you this position, you have to work hard for the company. Otherwise, how can you live up to President Jiang's trust? Do a good job and don't make any mistakes. If you don't find any errors, President Jiang will be disappointed."

After saying that, she turned and left gracefully.

Xu Chaoxi's hand was still burning with pain, and she felt somewhat lost as she looked at the documents.

An hour later, Cen Hui returned, holding a cup of coffee, and enthusiastically served a cup to everyone.

Xu Chaoxi, in particular, was all smiles, a stark contrast to her earlier fierce demeanor: "I'm so sorry about earlier, it was my fault."

Xu Chaoxi couldn't quite grasp her emotions.

Seeing her strange expression, Cen Hui continued with a smile, "Chaoxi, you're not angry with me, are you?"

"……No."

"Then take this." She quickly pushed the coffee in front of Xu Chaoxi and took back the documents she had just finished checking.

This is clearly an attempt to steal her credit.

Before Xu Chaoxi could speak, Cen Hui took the documents to the office.

Ten minutes later, Cen Hui walked in again, tossed her hair, and looked smug:

"The finance department needed it urgently, so I took it and submitted it first. General Manager Jiang said you did a great job, and you were praised. But you won't be angry with me for taking it upon yourself, will you?"

Her words were full of implications, and Xu Chaoxi understood what she meant and quickly figured it out.

"Of course not. You said it yourself, work is everyone's responsibility. As long as it benefits the company and satisfies General Manager Jiang, why would I blame you?"

With that, she got up and went out.

Watching her departing figure, Cen Hui couldn't help but grit her teeth.

That green tea bitch, does she really think she's so clever and generous? What are you pretending for?

She wanted to see how long this green tea bitch could keep up her act.

She would keep her eyes wide open and stare at this hypocritical woman. If she dared to complain to Jiang Jingsi, she would definitely teach her a lesson!

"Xu Chaoxi?"

A man dressed in punk style and wearing sunglasses walked towards Xu Chaoxi. She nodded and was about to go over when the man called her name.

The man in sunglasses looked at her through his eyes, somewhat incredulously: "What are you doing here?"

"May I ask who you are...?"

She didn't recognize the man in front of her.

The man took off his glasses, revealing his face. "You've forgotten me? I'm Cui Xingye."

Upon seeing his face clearly, Xu Chaoxi instantly remembered him.

He and Xu Chaoxi were college classmates, and he was also very familiar with Jiang Jingsi.

Xu Chaoxi was surprised to meet him here, and he was equally surprised.

"What are you doing here? You are...?"

"I am President Jiang's secretary." She nodded, her eyes showing surprise, but she quickly regained her composure.

They were good friends, so it wasn't surprising that he came to see Jiang Jingsi.

"Secretary?" Cui Xingye was even more surprised. He wanted to say something, but Xu Chaoxi said that she had to go and do something.

He stared at Xu Chaoxi's back for a long time before knocking on the door and entering Jiang Jingsi's office.

As soon as he entered, he eagerly asked Jiang Jingsi, "Why did you bring Xu Chaoxi in? Did you two reconcile?"

"When did you return to China?" Jiang Jingsi asked instead of answering.

"I came straight to see you today after I got off the plane. Didn't you say you'd offer me a high salary to be your COO?"

Jiang Jingsi took out a pre-prepared contract and pushed it to him, saying, "Take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with, then I'll have them revise it."

"Hey, I'm talking to you about something important, why are you ignoring me?"

When Xu Chaoxi broke up with him back then, it caused quite a stir. Cui Xingye was very curious about how he agreed to let Xu Chaoxi come to work.

Jiang Jingsi put down his pen and finally looked him directly in the eye: "She's capable enough, and I think she meets the company's hiring requirements. What's wrong with that?"

Cui Xingye narrowed his eyes, stared at him for a while, and then muttered, "No, no."

This is not in his character.

He's always been vengeful, so it's definitely not that simple.

Perhaps he still harbors feelings for Xu Chaoxi.

They were a couple that everyone envied back then, and Cui Xingye was quite optimistic about them. Unexpectedly, they broke up suddenly. He was quite curious about how they got along now that they were working under the same roof.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back and rest for a few days, and come back to start work in three days."

"No way, I've already made an appointment. It's with Mr. Fang, the boss from when we first started the company. He's been talking to me for ages, specifically asking to see both of us and have dinner together. I've finally come back, I can't just refuse now, can I?"

Mr. Fang was indeed a great help to them when they were starting their business.

Jiang Jingsi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "As long as you can hold on."

"It's nothing." Cui Xingye waved his hand dismissively. "I have plenty of energy, it's just a drop in the ocean."

"Let Xu Chaoxi come along. We were classmates in college, and it's been a long time since we last saw each other. I'd like to catch up with her."

After get off work, Xu Chaoxi was called upon by Cui Xingye to attend a social event.

Xu Chaoxi originally wanted to go back early, but Su Mei was still waiting for her, saying that she had something very important to tell her.

But since Cui Xingye had already said so, she couldn't refuse and had no choice but to agree.

"So reluctant? What? You have plans after get off work?" Cui Xingye looked her up and down with curiosity in his eyes.

"No," Xu Chaoxi quickly denied. "I just want to go back as soon as possible."

"It's not a big deal. I'll just give you the day off tomorrow. Jing Si is very easy to talk to."

He deliberately put his arm around Xu Chaoxi's shoulder to help her relax.

Xu Chaoxi gave a wry smile without showing any emotion.

How could he be so easy to talk to?

Yes, maybe he really is easy to talk to, but he won't be easy to talk to others, especially not to her.

"I want to go too." Cen Hui suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing between the two of them.

Caught off guard, Cui Xingye was pushed by Cen Hui, causing him to stumble and almost fall. He barely managed to regain his balance, looking utterly bewildered: "Miss, who are you?"

"I am also General Manager Jiang's secretary, and he is also my brother-in-law."

Anyway, it's after get off work hours now, so she can call him brother-in-law.

The term "brother-in-law" is quite suggestive.

Cui Xingye glanced at Xu Chaoxi subconsciously, but the latter pursed her lips and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

"You are..." Cui Xingye felt she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. "Who is your sister?"

"My older sister is the eldest daughter of the Cen family, Cen Nian. I am her younger sister, and my name is Cen Hui," she said, raising her chin.

Even his self-introduction was delivered with such a strong temper, which made Cui Xingye want to laugh.

However, he suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person in Haicheng.

"You and your sister have reversed your names, haven't you? Your sister's name is Hui, and you..."

But it’s hard to say.

Cui Xingye looked her up and down.

"Enough!" Seeing his thoughts and sensing the sarcasm in his tone, Cen Hui's face flushed instantly, anger rising within her: "What do you mean? You…"

"What's all the noise about?"

Jiang Jingsi's appearance suddenly gave Cen Hui a reason to complain, so she quickly said, "Brother-in-law, you're going to a social event, and I think as your secretary, I should go along. My sister said I still have a lot to learn, and I think it wouldn't hurt to go. What do you think, brother-in-law?"

Her words were impeccable, and her face instantly transformed into that of an innocent little rabbit.

"Tsk," this girl is such a good actress. Just a moment ago she was acting like she had the greatest favor to offer, but now she's suddenly become an innocent and harmless little flower.

This is Cui Xingye's evaluation of Cen Hui.

"Brother-in-law, is it alright?"

Jiang Jingsi remained silent, but Cen Hui persisted, demanding an answer.

Jiang Jingsi nodded almost without hesitation: "If you want to go, then go."

"Okay!"

Finally, I can see this wicked woman.

She'll definitely find a chance to get this wicked woman out of here later!
