Although Zhou Daiwei was usually arrogant and domineering, he was no comparison when he was in a quarrel with a woman. And with Sheng Chenfeng present, he had lost some of his strength.
He gritted his teeth. “Xia Xingcheng, you…”
He lost his words and didn’t know what to say for a long time. His red face and heaving chest seemed to implicate his endurance.
Seeing him like this, Xia Xingcheng sneered in her heart and continued: “Mr. Sheng, as you can see, our company advocates unity and friendship among colleagues, Mr. Zhou and I have the same position and should not have too much overlap, but he is bullying me, a weak woman, every chance he gets. Can you get me justice here?”
Xia Xingcheng smiled at Sheng Chenfeng, who was standing by and watching them, getting him involved.
Sheng Chenfeng was stunned for a moment and frowned involuntarily. He found the matter very difficult.
The grudge between Zhou Daiwei and Xia Xingcheng was something he acquiesced usually. He would turn a blind eye. He did not expect Xia Xingcheng to back him into a corner today.
Plus, Xia Xingcheng’s eyes had fallen upon him, which made his heart began to throb. After some hesitation, Sheng Chenfeng cleared his throat and said: “Well, Miss Xia is right. Daiwei, this is your fault today. We should promote unity between colleagues. Don’t quarrel next time. It’s not suitable for a man. I will deduct your bonus this month.”
Then Sheng Chenfeng ignored Zhou Daiwei’s changed face and gave an ingratiating smile to Xia Xingcheng directly.
“Xingcheng, are you satisfied with this solution?”
Xia Xingcheng snorted in her heart, but her face was still expressionless. “This company belongs to you,” she said in a flat voice. “Whatever you decide is up to you.”
Sheng Chenfeng had a vague look on his face but he felt joyous secretly.
To get a smile from Xia Xingcheng, he would have fired Zhou Daiwei.
Zhou Daiwei, on the other hand, was so angry. He never expected Xia Xingcheng to complain to Sheng Chenfeng directly. More importantly, Sheng Chenfeng did not defend him at all.
Despite his anger, Zhou Daiwei dared not vent it and stood by with a cold face.
Watching the tense yet pretty face of Xia Xingcheng, Sheng Chenfeng couldn’t take his eyes off her. “Xingcheng,” he said, “I just came back from abroad. There’s a reception dinner tonight. Would you like to come with me?”
Xia Xingcheng frowned. She knew it meant bad news when Sheng Chenfeng smiled at her like that. If she would have known, she wouldn’t use him earlier.
Even so, Xia Xingcheng refused by saying: “Sorry, I’m really busy recently. I’m afraid I can’t make it. I have other things to do, so I’m leaving now.”
Without looking at Sheng Chenfeng again, Xia Xingcheng turned and went straight into her office.
Zhou Daiwei’s face darkened as the door shut in front of him, and he wished he could tear her apart with his bare hands.
“Mr. Sheng, she is getting more out of line here.”
Zhou Daiwei could not help complaining.
He often spoke ill of Xia Xingcheng in front of Sheng Chenfeng. But Sheng Chenfeng did nothing because of his strong interest in Xia Xingcheng.
Today, Sheng Chenfeng’s eyes were tinged with interest as he gazed at the door of Xia Xingcheng’s office.
When Zhou Daiwei saw that Sheng Chenfeng was interested, he immediately shared his bad idea: “Mr. Sheng, do you want this woman?”
After hearing this, Sheng Chenfeng became more interested. He stroked his chin repeatedly and the calculating light in his eyes became more obvious.
“This woman just gets more and more interesting.”
Sheng Chenfeng could not help but sigh that he would not be reconciled before he could get this woman.
Besides, he just did not believe that he couldn’t get an ordinary woman like her.
Thinking of this, he turned to Zhou Daiwei and said, “From tomorrow on, you will order flowers for her, one bouquet per day, and send them to her office.”
Zhou Daiwei felt angry, but he could only nod his head and say yes.
At the same time, he could not help gritting his teeth and thinking that he must find a way to get Xia Xingcheng into Sheng Chenfeng’s bed.
In that case, he would not only please Sheng Chenfeng but also ruin Xia Xingcheng’s reputation and kick her out of the company by taking nude photos of her.
…
When Xia Xingcheng returned to her office, she felt even more upset. She was already disturbed by what Qin Pei had said, plus the troubles made by Yun Chen and Zhou Daiwei, she was getting even more irritated.
Xia Xingcheng couldn’t help thinking that she must have left the house without reading the fortune-telling almanac, otherwise, why would so many things happen in one day?
While she was upset, an advertiser called and asked Gu Xingxi to sign an endorsement contract. Xia Xingcheng thought it was time for her to go out and relax, so she agreed.
Otherwise, the sight of Zhou Daiwei and Sheng Chenfeng inside the company would have made her sick to her stomach.
She called Ruan Meng to prepare and soon Ruan Meng got everything ready and was waiting for her downstairs with Gu Xingxi.
Xia Xingcheng drove the three of them to the advertiser’s address.
Ruan Meng saw Xia Xingcheng looking a little off today and asked anxiously: “Are you ok? Are you not feeling well?”
Xia Xingcheng shook her head and forced out a smile. “It’s ok, maybe I haven’t had a good sleep lately.”
Hearing this, Ruan Meng didn’t say anything more but still looking at her with some concern.
Ruan Meng got bored and started scrolling through Twitter, reading gossip.
While reading it, Ruan Meng was sharing it with Gu Xingxi. Gu Xingxi was a quiet person. He had been listening quietly the whole time.
At this time, Ruan Meng suddenly saw a message. She could not help but sigh and said: “You see, now men just marry someone who is not their beloved one, and keep their beloved person in their hearts.”
Ruan Meng was just making some honest remarks, but Xia Xingcheng read her own meaning into it. Xia Xingcheng’s hand on the steering wheel somehow slipped and she almost hit the car in front of them.
Luckily, she had a quick response!
Watching the sudden breaking car, Xia Xingcheng was still a little startled.
However, she was not nervous at that moment, but thinking of the sentence which Yun Chen had said, “Sheng Yeting has someone else in his heart”.
And the sentence: men marry certainly not the person they love most.
Xia Xingcheng rubbed her head, feeling irritated, thinking she must be crazy. Just because of one sentence, she almost had a car accident.
Besides, whether there was someone in Sheng Yeting’s heart had nothing to do with her!
