Chapter 17: Chapter 17 This Is the 28th Floor
The "hulk" in front of her blocked the limited sunlight. Slowly raising her head, Dai Muxue looked at Xiao Sheng's simple and honest smile. She leaned back warily, covering the white shirt inside her professional suit with one hand, for fear that this guy would take the opportunity to peek at something. At this moment, this rustic guy really had no intention of looking at the creamy breasts that seemed about to burst out. He asked softly and gently:
"Sister Dai, who is that young guy who just went in? He's so arrogant, just nodded and then pushed the door open directly." Hearing Xiao Sheng's question, Dai Muxue gave a disdainful smile at Xiao Sheng and then said:
"Him? He's Liu Hanming, the only son of President Liu of Huaxin Group, Manager Liu. Now he's the vice - general manager of the marketing department of our company. He's young and promising..." When saying this, Dai Muxue's voice was full of affectation, with a rather exaggerated intonation.
"No, why do I feel from your tone that there's something going on between you two..."
"You..."
"Alright, no more joking. Why is he so arrogant that he doesn't even knock before opening the door?" Hearing this, Dai Muxue's face became a bit gloomy. She slightly raised her eyes. She didn't really want to gossip, but Xiao Sheng's eyes were too eager, so she had to reply in a low voice:
"Arrogant? Compared with his father, this is nothing for him..." Once women start gossiping, even the gods can't stop their loose tongues. Xiao Sheng, who directly moved a stool and sat next to Dai Muxue, lowered his head and listened carefully as this woman, who seemed to have unmet desires, talked on and on.
Liu Hanming is the only son of Liu Jiming, the second - largest shareholder of Huaxin. His family wealth goes without saying. Since Chen Shuyuan took over Huaxin from her mother three years ago, this old - timer in the workplace has been constantly making things difficult for Chen Shuyuan. The Liu family, which holds 25% of Huaxin's shares, only has 5% less than the shares held by Chen Shuyuan. In addition, in the past year, Huaxin's leading real - estate industry has been continuously restricted. This has allowed the Liu family to take the opportunity to incite other shareholders, showing a strong tendency to force Chen Shuyuan out of power. Fortunately, some of Huaxin's old shareholders, who mostly fought alongside Chen Shuyuan's mother, strongly support her. But as time goes by, feelings fade. Consequently, Liu Jiming, who holds the initiative, is very arrogant at Huaxin's shareholder meetings. Even in normal times, for the sake of internal stability in Huaxin, Chen Shuyuan endures many things, which has further inflated the other side's arrogance.
Liu Hanming's thoughts about Chen Shuyuan are well - known throughout Huaxin. If the eldest son of the Liu family can, by any means necessary, coax Chen Shuyuan into bed and marry her, then the Liu family will naturally become the real master of Huaxin. Of course, Liu Hanming's admiration for Chen Shuyuan has some political implications, but it's not excluded that he's truly attracted to her. With Chen Shuyuan's looks, she can attract swarms of men.
Sending flowers has basically become a daily routine for Liu Hanming. His occasional veiled threats in words also make this beautiful president keep her distance. As Chen Shuyuan's personal assistant, Dai Muxue, who is closely associated with Chen Shuyuan, of course has a bad impression of this playboy with extremely corrupt private behavior.
After listening to Dai Muxue's explanation, Xiao Sheng had a general understanding of the whole situation in Huaxin. It turned out that this beautiful president wasn't as glamorous as she seemed on the surface. Infighting is an unchanging routine in the domestic workplace for thousands of years. Just as Dai Muxue and Xiao Sheng were whispering to each other, the two, who were close to the door, heard Chen Shuyuan's angry scolding voice from the office:
"Vice - President Liu, please pay attention to your identity..." Hearing this, Dai Muxue's face darkened, and she muttered something in a low voice. Xiao Sheng, who slowly stood up, had a calm smile on his face. He said to Dai Muxue with a smile:
"Sister Dai, as Ms. Chen's personal bodyguard, should I go in at this time and drive this damned fly away?" Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Dai Muxue's mouth fell open slightly. She stared closely at Xiao Sheng and replied in a low voice:
"Are you crazy? He's..."
"What if I can do it? How about we make a bet?"
"Make a bet? What are we betting on?" As she spoke, Dai Muxue tightened the corners of her eyes, looking at Xiao Sheng uneasily.
"If I lose, I'm willing to be your lackey. But if I win, you let me touch you..."
"No way..." Just as Dai Muxue finished saying this, the noise in the office became louder. Concerned about her boss, Dai Muxue, acting a bit shrewdly, suddenly stood up. She looked at the tightly - closed door, then at Xiao Sheng, and gritted her teeth and said:
"At most, you can touch my hand..."
"Your face. I'm more interested in your charming face..." After saying this, with a half - smile, Xiao Sheng straightened his suit. Imitating Liu Hanming's arrogant manner, he pushed the door open without even knocking and entered.
Liu Hanming's arrogance comes from the financial and human support given to him by his father. As a well - known playboy in Huaxin, Liu Hanming has the capital to be arrogant. Ever since Chen Shuyuan, a beauty, sat beside her mother and entered Huaxin on the first day, Liu Hanming has been drooling over her. However, at that time, Chen Shuyuan's mother was in power and was in an extremely dominant position. But after Chen Shuyuan took over and her mother stepped down and retired abroad, Liu Jiming, who became more and more dominant, privately encouraged his son to pursue Chen Shuyuan. After all, although the Liu family has the initiative now, some of Huaxin's old - timers and shareholders have a close relationship with Chen Shuyuan's mother. This is the main reason why Liu Jiming doesn't dare to act forcefully. But if his son gets Chen Shuyuan in that way, the situation will be different. He can smoothly take over Huaxin without causing any criticism.
Liu Hanming, whose body was already leaning against Chen Shuyuan's chair, had a sincere look on his face. Leaning forward, he looked at Chen Shuyuan, who was standing there angrily, with affectionate eyes and murmured:
"Shuyuan, my feelings for you are obvious to all. Don't you understand?"
"Sorry, Vice - President Liu. I think you know that I'm engaged."
"An engagement made before birth. Until now, you haven't even seen your fiancé. Who knows what he looks like? What if he's a beggar or a deformed person?"
"Liu Hanming, please don't go too far. Even if my fiancé is a dwarf, he's still my man, Chen Shuyuan's man..." Hearing this, Liu Hanming was obviously shocked. The smile on his face lost some patience. He stretched out his hands, wanting to pull her. However, at this moment, Xiao Sheng suddenly pushed the door open with great force. Scared, the other side quickly retracted the "dirty hand" that was about to reach out.
"What are you two doing? Looking out of the window at what..." Xiao Sheng, with an indignant expression, pointed at the window sill and shouted.
Liu Hanming, standing aside, had a gloomy face. Looking at Xiao Sheng's clumsy act, he said coldly:
"This is the 28th floor. I think apart from Spider - Man and Superman, it's very difficult for anyone to be looking out of the window on the 28th floor..."
