Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Su Chen with Problematic Thoughts
"Why are you here!?"
Xia Qiuru hadn't expected that the person she had just been longing to find would suddenly appear in front of her, it felt like a dream.
Xia Qiuru's response startled Su Chen; he wondered why she was so excited to see him. Could she still be angry about yesterday's incident?
As Su Chen looked at Xia Qiuru, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Indeed, women hold grudges!
"First of all, I apologize for yesterday's joke. You can't mix personal feelings with business!"
Not mentioning it would have been better. The moment he brought it up, Xia Qiuru thought about how he had unabashedly stared at her and even flirted with her before leaving yesterday.
But there was a more pressing matter at hand, so Xia Qiuru had to suppress her anger and looked at Su Chen, asking:
"Answer my question first. Why are you here?"
"Didn't I say yesterday? I came for a driver's interview, and today I started work, now I'm here to complete the hiring process."
Su Chen was also puzzled seeing her serious demeanor.
"You were really here for a driver's interview yesterday?"
Xia Qiuru felt her brain couldn't keep up; this man, proficient in nearly two hundred countries' affairs, was really interviewing for a low-level driver's position!
A talent like him could easily walk into any corporation and effortlessly attain a high-ranking position!
"Of course, and look, today I officially started working."
Su Chen said naturally, as Xia Qiuru looked into his calm eyes and matter-of-fact demeanor, her head felt even more dizzy.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly came over, grabbed Su Chen's hand with an excited expression, and said:
"Hurry and follow me!"
Su Chen was also confused; this woman had just been startling and now she suddenly wanted to drag him away.
Could she have taken a liking to me?
Should I just give in? Or should I really give in? That's the question!
"Hey, why the rush? It's still early!"
Su Chen still considered himself a person of virtue; doing that kind of thing in broad daylight was still quite embarrassing, although it wasn't really an issue during the day, the key point was that this was only their second meeting.
"What do you mean, 'early'? I can't wait any longer." Xia Qiuru quickened her pace, pulling Su Chen along as she walked eagerly forward, smiling triumphantly. "I was just thinking about you, and here you show up at my doorstep."
Xia Qiuru's words completely scrambled Su Chen's brain. Could someone tell me what she just said?
Can't wait any longer? She was just thinking about me? Show up at my doorstep?
Su Chen suddenly felt like he was facing a fierce torrential beast, ready to devour him at any moment!
Are the women in Huaxia so open and desperate now?
Or is it that my charm is so great that she completely lost her restraint?
"I mean, miss, everyone says women in their thirties are like wolves and in their forties like tigers, but you're only in your twenties, how can you be so thirsty?"
Su Chen asked, genuinely puzzled, with an innocent expression on his face. A man really shouldn't be too handsome!
"What did you say?"
While fiercely pulling Su Chen's hand along, Xia Qiuru suddenly paused, stopped in her tracks, turned, and looked at Su Chen with rage:
"What sort of person do you take me for? What are you blabbering about!"
"It's broad daylight. Why are you in such a rush? Listen, beauty, this is only our second meeting. Even if you like me, isn't this a bit too soon?"
Su Chen thought to himself, 'You've already taken action, can't I say a few words about it? This is so unreasonable!'
"Do you think too highly of yourself? Why would I fall for you?"
Xia Qiuru was so angry she felt like her lungs would explode. This jerk actually thought she wanted to do *that* with him!
And he's saying I'm in a rush? Desperate?
Xia Qiuru swore she had never met someone so shameless. She was the distinguished HR Director of Belle Corporation. How could she fall for such a scoundrel?
"If you hadn't been pulling on me, saying you couldn't wait, and even thinking about me just now?"
Su Chen said grumpily, 'Is this woman switching gears too quickly or what? Was it just because I called her desperate?'
It was only then that Xia Qiuru realized that her actions and words could indeed have been misleading, and it seemed she really couldn't blame him.
No, wait, it must be because his mind is filthy that he thought that way.
Yes, that's right. It's not my words that are the problem, it's his dirty mind!
"Our CEO wants to see you. Hurry up and come with me!" Xia Qiuru released Su Chen's hand and spoke coldly.
Su Chen couldn't help but wonder. Why are all the women around him like this? His woman at home is like this, and so is this director here! Always so cold!
But then again, why would the CEO know about me and want to meet me?
Su Chen couldn't figure it out but still followed Xia Qiuru to the CEO's office.
After the secretary announced them, Xia Qiuru led Su Chen inside.
"Director Xia, why did you leave and then come back again?"
Busy Lin Ruoxue looked up and curiously asked Xia Qiuru.
But when she saw Su Chen behind Xia Qiuru, her eyes widened in shock!
Su Chen was similarly incredulous as he looked at Lin Ruoxue. He never expected the CEO of Belle Corporation to be Lin Ruoxue!
"What's with those expressions? Do you know each other?"
Seeing both of them looking as if they'd seen a ghost, their eyes nearly popping out, Xia Qiuru was a bit puzzled.
"Ah, oh, no, no," Lin Ruoxue quickly hid her surprise, then pretended nothing was amiss and asked, "Did you come back because something happened, Director Xia?"
Lin Ruoxue was overwhelmed to suddenly see Su Chen, her husband in name, in her office and even forgot to ask Xia Qiuru why she had brought him here.
"Oh, President Lin, I've already found the person."
Xia Qiuru said excitedly, glancing at Su Chen, unable to comprehend how this guy could know so many languages.
"Really? That was quick. Who is it? Please invite them over!"
Lin Ruoxue also stood up excitedly, clutching her pen tightly.
"Hmm? It's him!" Xia Qiuru pointed at Su Chen, "It's quite a coincidence, he actually came to interview for a driver position at our company yesterday. He just came to my office to complete the hiring process, so I brought him straight to you."
"Him!?" Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen, her face filled with disbelief. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Of course I'm sure! I remember clearly."
Xia Qiuru glared at Su Chen, teeth clenched, unable to forget this scoundrel who flirted with her even while submitting his papers!
Lin Ruoxue simply couldn't believe that the person she had been desperately searching for turned out to be Su Chen. If she didn't know Xia Qiuru's integrity, she wouldn't believe it to death.
