Xiaotang now spends all day with Xiaoshuang and the others. She has expanded her team, and her female companions run a catering business, while she simply collects the money.
Inside the office, Xiaoshuang, Wang Xiaomi, and Xiaotang are tidying up files.
Chen Meiling announces that everyone will move to the headquarters of the Chen Group tomorrow and will be promoted.
Wang Xiaomi will be transferred to work as the chairman’s assistant.
Xiaoshuang will be the financial director.
Li Lan becomes the security manager of the entire building.
Even Xiaotudou gets a promotion, becoming the chief supervisor of the Jing Shui Village area.
Xiaotang will also go to the headquarters, as there is a large catering department within the building, and she will become its manager.
Everyone has been promoted, so everyone is very happy.
After placing the last stack of documents into a cardboard box and packing it up, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
“Finally finished cleaning up. We’re moving tomorrow. Honestly, I really will miss this place a bit!”
Wang Xiaomi really likes the environment here, even though the accommodations are somewhat rustic.
“When you’ve moved around enough, you’ll gradually get used to it,” Xiaoshuang smiles slightly. “The headquarters has all the software and hardware you could need, with assistants, secretaries, air conditioning, and nice uniforms. That’s what real work should be like. Even though this place is nice, overall, it’s incomparable to the headquarters.”
“That’s true. Oh, Xiaoshuang, I still don’t know how to be a chairman’s assistant. Maybe you could teach me?”
Wang Xiaomi is excited but also anxious.
“Don’t be nervous,” Xiaoshuang shakes her head and smiles gently. “What’s there to worry about? After a while, you’ll get used to it. There are several chairman’s assistants, each with different roles. You’ll probably be the kind who’s close and follows Chen Meiling around all day.”
“Ahhh! Following her all day? That pressure will be so huge!” Wang Xiaomi looks troubled, sighing, “To be honest, I really wish I could follow Shui Miao around all day. There’s no pressure, just driving.”
“Haha, you and I are thinking the same thing. Shui Miao has no airs about him.”
Xiaotang suddenly exclaims excitedly.
Whenever Shui Miao is mentioned, Xiaotang always gets very excited.
Xiaoshuang and Wang Xiaomi seem to have already gotten used to this. They exchange glances, secretly smiling at each other. Xiaoshuang then says to Xiaotang, “Xiaotang, Sister Meiling really took good care of you. Although we also got promotions, we’re just regular employees, getting a fixed monthly salary. But she gave you the entire catering department to manage for free. It shows how much she trusts you!”
“Exactly! I also thought it was strange, maybe it was Shui Miao’s idea?” Wang Xiaomi says to Xiaotang, then secretly winks at Xiaoshuang.
Upon hearing this, Xiaotang immediately feels delighted and quickly says, “Xiaoshuang, Xiaomi, I’ve prepared some tremella and red date soup for you—it’s good for your skin and replenishes blood. I’ll go get it for you right away.”
Whenever someone mentions her possible relationship with Shui Miao, she always treats everyone to delicious food.
After Xiaotang leaves, Wang Xiaomi lowers her voice and asks Xiaoshuang, “Xiaoshuang, do you think she and Shui Miao have a chance?”
“No way. Shui Miao doesn’t like her at all,” Xiaoshuang gently shakes her head and pouts.
Wang Xiaomi frowns, “I think so too, but I just don’t get it—why is she so obsessed with Shui Miao? Could they have had something happen between them?”
“If you ask me, who can I ask?” Xiaoshuang gives Wang Xiaomi a reproachful look, then suddenly gets an idea and teases, “Xiaomi, I think Shui Miao might have a thing for you. Did something happen between you two?”
“Get out of here!”
Wang Xiaomi is taken aback, not expecting Xiaoshuang to make such a joke.
Seeing Wang Xiaomi’s shy reaction, Xiaoshuang points at her in mock surprise and says, “Aha! I knew it! Look at you, your face is as red as a monkey’s butt. You two definitely had something going on. Come on, spill the beans!”
Xiaoshuang starts tickling Wang Xiaomi.
Wang Xiaomi isn’t ticklish, but she blushes and turns the tables by tickling Xiaoshuang instead. Xiaoshuang, who is ticklish, turns to run, but Wang Xiaomi chases her, continuing to tickle her while saying, “I’m just a rough and tough girl; he probably wouldn’t even look twice at me! But look at you, with your delicate skin and how you’re always so close to him. You two must have had something going on. Come on, tell me the truth, or I won’t stop!”
The two women playfully wrestle, both of their faces turning red.
Just like how men like beautiful women, beautiful women also have feelings for men.
Especially men like Shui Miao, who are caring toward their friends, wealthy, and accomplished in cultivation—these are the men they dream about.
As long as Shui Miao doesn’t express his feelings for someone, they will always keep a special place in their hearts for him.
Xiaotang has her female companions prepare soup while she walks alone to the roadside under the night sky, sitting on a bench and gazing at the empty street. She sighs softly and murmurs to herself, “I’m so silly, still fooling myself. He clearly doesn’t like me, yet I can’t forget him. Back then, I didn’t see his good qualities, so why can’t I forget him now that he’s rich? Logically speaking, I’m not short on money anymore! So why do I still think about him constantly and dream of becoming the chairman’s wife? Am I really just a gold digger?”
Xiaotang feels confused. Ever since she kissed Shui Miao that last time, she has been obsessed with him like she’s under a spell.
From being proud and dominant at first, she has gradually become more humble and amiable.
Now, her greatest wish is for Shui Miao to hug her again, to kiss her again.
At this moment, Shui Miao is standing in a dark corner not far away, having overheard Xiaotang’s murmurs. He ponders to himself, “Xiaotang has realized this, which proves she now clearly understands herself. I guess there’s no need for me to show up anymore. Once she moves to the headquarters and meets many handsome managers, she’ll probably forget me completely.”
Thinking this, Shui Miao decides not to show himself and instead heads directly into the stone cave by the dry well.
Shui Miao sneaks forward a few steps when he again hears Xiaotang murmuring to herself…
Suddenly standing up, Xiaotang fiercely mutters, “No! How can I give up so easily? I’m Xiaotang! Tomorrow I’ll go find him. As long as he doesn’t clarify things with me, I’ll stick with him forever. Who asked him to kiss me and even touch my butt!?”
“Damn it!”
Upon hearing this, Shui Miao feels a headache coming on. Quickly stepping out from the shadows, he grabs Xiaotang and pulls her into the room by the dry well cave, locks the door, and pins her against the wall, face-to-face, bluntly saying, “Back then I kissed you and touched your butt. You can demand anything you want for that—I promise to fulfill it.”
“You… where did you come from!?”
Facing Shui Miao so closely, Xiaotang’s heart pounds, her chest rising and falling dramatically.
