Chapter 150 Imperial Decree
Fan Yunting and I hurried out to greet him, and saw that the corridor was already crowded with employees who had come to see the chairman of the big star. Everyone was excited and proud, and they kept laughing around the stage.
Fan Yunting and I parted the crowd and saw Xu Shu wearing a sleeveless dress, revealing her snow-white arms and slender legs. She was leaning on the edge of the stage, smiling and answering any questions raised by the crowd. From time to time, she took the paper and pen handed to her and signed her name.
Fan Yunting smiled and said, "Chairman, why didn't you say hello to us when you came?"
Xu Shu returned the signed paper and pen to an employee, turned to look at us, and said with a smile: "I just want to launch a surprise attack to see what the company's current situation is like!" After she said that, her bright eyes suddenly turned around me.
I said, "Chairman, it's a good thing you're here. We just happen to be having a high-level meeting. Please come to the regular meeting."
Xu Shu said: "Okay! I happen to be free today, so I came here to satisfy my desire to be the chairman. Haha!"
I dispersed the employees who were watching, and then invited Xu Shu into the meeting room. At nine o'clock, all the company executives and above had arrived. Xu Shu sat next to Fan Yunting, and her two bodyguards did not come in, but stood outside the meeting room door.
Fan Yunting chatted with Xu Shu privately for a few words, asking about the filming progress. Xu Shu, drinking Yejianxiang tea, replied that it was all finished and the film was now in post-production and would be officially released in the United States in September. During this period, she would also travel around the world to participate in exhibitions and promotions, but she had a lot of free time during this period, so she came back to China to rest.
I saw that the time was up, so I knocked on the table and said, "Okay, let's start the meeting now. First of all, let's welcome the company's chairman, the spokesperson for Yejianxiang Tea, and the big star Ms. Xu Shu, who is attending the company's high-level meeting for the first time. Everyone applaud."
There was a round of applause from the audience, Xu Shu stood up with a smile and nodded in response. After a pause in the applause, I said, "Now we would like to invite Chairman Xu to give a speech. Welcome everyone!"
Applause broke out again. Xu Shu glanced at me, then smiled and said to everyone present: "Hello everyone! I am Xu Shu! I am not here today to interfere with the company's business. Although I am nominally the chairman, the contract states that I cannot interfere with the company's decision-making and development direction. So I have no right to speak here, I am just here to listen as an investor. You should just hold the meeting according to the normal procedures, Mr. Fan! Mr. Tang! Please, thank you!"
She sat back down and looked at me. I nodded to indicate that I was in agreement. She then opened the proposal on the table and said, "Okay! The meeting will officially begin. The first topic..."
During the meeting, I felt Xu Shu's beautiful eyes always looking at me intentionally or unintentionally. Her beauty almost distracted all the men present, including me. So much so that when Mr. Fan asked about a male supervisor, he had to call his name several times before he responded.
All the women present laughed secretly with their hands covering their mouths, and Fan Yunting also smiled bitterly, helpless. Xu Shu certainly knew why, and she looked at me with a smug look in her eyes.
I stroked my forehead and thought: Can you please stop looking at me? Don't you think this place is messy enough? If you join us, we can't have this meeting anymore...
After the meeting was hastily concluded, President Fan invited Xu Shu into her general manager's office, and of course she also called me in.
After the door was closed, Xu Shu finally dared to greet me and said with a smile: "Tang Qian! I haven't seen you for two months and you look so presentable now! Let me see, ha! Crocodile brand T-shirt, Dunhill pants, and Playboy shoes! Wow! You are totally different from before, much more handsome!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you praising me? Why do I feel so awkward listening to you?"
Fan Yunting also came over with a smile and said, "I forced him to buy these! How can a vice president of a company dress like a wage earner? He is not happy about it and has objections!"
Xu Shu kept looking at me with a smile, and said meaningfully: "It's good to have someone care about you! Our Young Master Tang is so proud now. Look at how you were in the meeting just now. That style, hmm! Interesting, amazing!"
My face flushed and I said, "Xu Shu! If you keep talking, I'm leaving!"
Xu Shu's eyes rolled and he was about to speak, but Fan Yunting said, "You guys... chat first, I'm going to the bathroom!" She smiled mysteriously and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
After the door closed, I grabbed Xu Shu's hand and shouted, "Xu Shu! What do you mean by this?"
Xu Shu's face immediately fell, and he said angrily: "Do you think I don't know? Someone told me a long time ago that you and Fan Yunting had an ambiguous relationship and behaved intimately. I didn't believe it at first, but I came here today to see that it was true. What else do you have to say?"
I angrily said, "Who are you listening to? Mr. Fan and I are just colleagues. What ambiguous intimacy? Isn't this confusing right and wrong?"
Xu Shu broke away from my hand and continued, "You still want to quibble? Fine! Three days ago at the trade center, someone saw Fan Yunting shopping with you. She picked out a lot of clothes for you, and she paid for them all with her credit card! On the night of June 12, someone saw you sending a drunk Fan Yunting home, and you...you stayed at her house for forty-three minutes before coming out! What...what did you do? Tell me the truth! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Looking at the extremely angry Xu Shu, I was stunned. After a long while, I asked in shock: "You...you sent someone to follow me?"
"I'm watching over you on behalf of Jingjing! You're such a playboy. If I don't keep a close eye on you, you'll be seduced by other women in just two days! I don't care! You have to be honest. How many women are you dating right now? Tell me the truth one by one!"
I was shocked and angry, happy and sour! Xu Shu was clearly jealous, and she had to put Jingjing's name on it. Although I can understand it, I cannot tolerate her violation of human rights. I was not polite to her either. I grabbed her hand again and said in a low voice: "You dare to violate my privacy? Do you believe I will spank you?"
Xu Shu blushed and said shyly, "You...you dare?"
In fact, I had long been drooling over her plump and round buttocks, so I didn't even answer her. I raised my hand and slapped her perky buttocks. Xu Shu quickly dodged to the side and shouted in panic, "Tang Qian! Tang Qian, wait a minute!"
I raised my hand and stopped, saying, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Xu Shu hurriedly hid behind me, putting himself in a position where I couldn't reach him, and then said flatteringly: "Actually...actually, I'm afraid that after your business becomes big, you will be envied and plotted against by others. Especially that old man Hua Qiming, he can't stand seeing you become successful. That's why I sent people to protect you secretly, but in order to let you work with peace of mind, I didn't tell you, don't be angry, at most I'll say sorry to you!"
I understand. Although Xu Shu doesn't want to have anything to do with me because of Jingjing, her love for me remains unchanged. She sent someone to protect me secretly because she cares about me. I can't blame her. Besides, I really like her jealous look.
But because of face issues, even though I no longer blame her in my heart, if I just let her go so easily, wouldn’t it be difficult for me to negotiate?
Besides... I've had ideas about that part of her for a long time. Now that I've come across such a good excuse, wouldn't it be a shame to let it go?
I thought darkly in my heart and said, "Okay! You are right. I can escape the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of life! Last time I made you angry, you kicked me seven or eight times. This time I will also take revenge, but not too much, just three times!"
I turned around and raised my hand to drop it. Xu Shu quickly grabbed my hand, put it behind me, and said with a red face: "I've already said sorry, why do you still hit me? I... I'm a girl!"
I tried hard to hold back my laughter and said with a straight face, "Everyone is equal before the truth! If you do something wrong, you will be punished. There is no distinction between men and women, and no discrimination in treatment!"
Xu Shuxin, who is so smart, knew my real thoughts immediately. She couldn't help but blush, lowered her head, and said in a very low voice: "But... here... I can't! Let me owe it first, and we can talk about it later, okay?"
I know she is the most shameless person in the world, and if I push her any further, she may never dare to come see me again. Plus, I can joke around, but we both have love in our hearts, and if it gets too much, it will be hard to deal with.
I smiled and let go, saying, "Then remember what you owe me, and you have to pay it back in the future."
Xu Shu also let me go. She reached out to tidy up her slightly messy hair and looked at me with anger. I wanted to reach out to help her, but I held back and thought about it. I said, "Xu Shu, withdraw the people who are protecting me. I will not be used to being watched by people every day like this."
Xu Shu's face turned serious, and he said, "I came back this time because of Jingjing's order. She asked me to protect you, supervise you, and manage you in the past few years. This is the order of your wife, do you dare to disobey?"
I opened my mouth wide and asked in shock: "Why...?"
Xu Shu raised her little face proudly and said, "Because I'm your wife's best friend, and there are letters to prove it!" As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper like a magician and placed it in front of me.
I quickly snatched it away, opened it and started reading. The paper was torn from a notebook, with few words and very sloppy handwriting. It was obvious that it was written in a hurry, but it was indeed Hua Jingjing's handwriting: "Qian, I'm so happy to know that you came to the United States to see me. I heard that your career has also made great progress, and I'm really proud of you. But while you are busy with work, you must pay more attention to your health. Also, a big tree is easy to attract wind, so you must be careful not to let the bad guys plot against you. Xu Shu is our good friend, I asked her to help you, and you can discuss it with her if you have anything. Although I am lonely here, I am not miserable, so please don't miss me. Yours, Jingjing!"
Although the paper was small and the words were few, the words between the lines showed Jingjing's deep affection and deep longing for me. I was so moved that I couldn't speak for a moment. After a long time, I folded the note and put it in my trouser pocket solemnly, saying: "Jingjing only said in the letter that she asked you to help me, but didn't ask you to supervise me. You are using chicken feathers as a token of authority, I don't accept it!"
Xu Shu snorted and said, "Of course she wouldn't write that in the letter. She told me to do that herself. She said Tang Qian is a kind person, but he can't resist the temptation of women. She asked me to keep a close eye on you and never let you make any mistakes. My responsibility is very heavy!"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking, is this what Jingjing said? She asked you to take care of me, so the possibility of making mistakes is even greater!
