Chapter Seventeen: The General Manager

  All I saw was the man behind him standing upright, exuding an aura of being in control, his ink-colored eyes like black onyx, his mouth curved into a slight arc, that seemingly unintentional smile was truly captivating.

  But it can be certain that this person is laughing and laughing very happily.

  His hands moved faster than his brain, and he quickly stood up, almost overturning the table.

  Miss Xiao Chen's thoughts were pulled back by the sound of the chair "creaking", her expression solemn, and she also stood up, with her hands placed standardly on both sides, a standard 45-degree bow.

  "Old... old... boss, oh no, General Manager. " An Xin's voice trembled and she was sweating nervously, looking so tense.

  But it seems like that's not right~

  Why did Little Chen call the General Manager a beast, and why would a beast appear in the company?

  Could it be...

  Stunned, my mouth changed from a duck egg shape to a chicken egg shape. Two words kept flashing in my mind: beast and general manager, general manager, beast, beast... Suddenly it hit me, beast equals general manager.

  "My goodness! Fatty class monitor, what made you introduce me to this place!"

  What's going to happen next?!... Isn't this just being nakedly exposed to the enemy's evil deeds (╯﹏╰), and then letting them do as they please?

  This is outrageous!

  Qiao Ran had an arrogant look on his face, with a flash of sharp light in his eyes, and opened his mouth with great disdain, "Don't know who to call?"

  Little Chen tugged at An Xin's sleeve, using her eyes to signal "Quickly call the general manager, hurry up". An Xin pouted and responded with a "I won't call" look. Little Chen glared at her fiercely, not knowing what was good for her, daring to be defiant in front of the general manager. The two people's gazes clashed, one saying "Are you going to call or not?" and the other saying "I'm not calling".

  Qiao Ran glanced at them twice, pulled a chair and sat down slowly, instructing his assistant to order a standard A meal for him. "Are you two having eye spasms?"

  Little Chen girl was frightened and waved her hand repeatedly, "No no, just recently I've been feeling anxious and my eyes have been hurting a bit so I'm helping her take a look."

  "Is it because you saw something you shouldn't have?"

  I'm relieved to see you, I was worried sick before and my eyes were twitching with anxiety.

  "Director Qiao, your arrival at the restaurant has made us small employees so nervous that our eyes are twitching." The implication is that you're not supposed to see this (#‵′）.

  Qiao Ran furrowed his good-looking eyebrows and stared at her, "Don't get too familiar, in the company, address me as General Manager."

  Chen Hong, who was shocked again, pulled An Xin's sleeve once more. Her eyes continued to gleam with curiosity, "An Xin, you actually know the big BOSS! It seems that you're a person sent by the higher-ups. You're not simple at all."

  Don't be scared, I took a look at Qiao Ran and then quickly waved my hand to signal no, I'm not sent by him. How could I have any relationship with such a beast? It's too terrifying! Chen Hong, don't misunderstand me.

  But this time the eye exchange was not recognized, Chen Hong glared at her fiercely, "Come down and talk to me clearly, otherwise, hum... take care of your butt."

  "Alright, General Manager. If there's nothing else, General Manager can go inspect other places, we employees still need to eat."

  Qiao Ran: "Oh? But I've already asked my assistant to order a set meal for me. I'll join you all for lunch."

  She spoke with a smooth tone, "Why?" The intonation was quite dramatic, full of twists and turns. But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, oh dear mother, this hurt more than when her mom scolded her.

  A bit of tender flesh was grasped in Xiaochen's hand, then came a 360-degree spin with no blind spots. The taste made her burst into tears instantly, and she jumped away, staring at Xiaochen with a fierce gaze.

  Don't be so cruel, treating her like this in front of a beast.

  Little Chen saw that she had been too heavy-handed, and awkwardly waved her hand, "Oh haha ~ oh haha ~ being able to have lunch with the general manager is our eight lifetimes of good fortune, An Xin doesn't understand things, and even asks why."

  Don't be too proud, it's the good fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes. I think it's the bad luck from sleeping with a pig for 800 days in the previous life, it's simply bad luck shining brightly and smiling at me >_<

  Qiao Yan was sipping his tea elegantly, as if the plain water in the restaurant was holy water from heaven. He drank slowly and deliberately, his lips touching the cup and then being pressed out by the rim to form a small arc that was simply mesmerizing. An Xin suddenly remembered the thrilling feeling when those lips touched her own mouth that day, it was truly unforgettable.

  Qiao Ran put down the cup, "Just now your eyes told me you wanted to invite me to have lunch with you, so I lowered my identity to satisfy your small wish for the sake of promoting social harmony."

  She's so angry that she really wants to cover the curry chicken leg rice on his face, when did I use my eyes to tell you that I want to have dinner with you? When I'm with you, my adrenaline will be over-secreted, and the acne on my face will grow wildly like wild grass.

  "You're overthinking this, General Manager."

  Qiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said in a low, cold voice, "What did you say?"

  My heart skipped a beat, I secretly cried out, "No! There's danger!"

  Trembling with fear, shaking his head and backing away, "Ahh, I was just joking earlier, hehe, I had a great time having dinner with Chen Hong and the general manager. The most romantic thing I can think of is having dinner with you, hehe."

  He retreated back to Chen Hong's side, immediately grabbing her arm and holding on tightly. It wasn't until he had a firm grasp on something solid that he finally felt a bit safer.

  Qiao Ran's complexion improved slightly, and she elegantly leaned over to straighten the stool beside her, pointing at it with her slender fingers. An Xin didn't dare pretend ignorance this time, and meekly sat down, grabbing a silver spoon to start shoveling curry rice into his mouth.

  Xiao Chen followed closely, sitting honestly and quietly in the seat opposite An. However, eating was not as casual as before, and she didn't even dare to speak. She ate slowly and quietly, savoring each bite carefully.

  The assistant handed the lunch to Qiao and then went to solve his own lunch problem, but before leaving, he made An Xin's face red and heartbeat, with a gentle and smiling assistant Fu Jie, who had a doll-like face, soft tone, and smiled warmly when greeting An Xin, causing An Xin's heart to beat wildly.

  This is the kind of person I like, polite and courteous, not like some people who always have a cold face or a menacing smile, threatening her to do this and that. The assistant even warmly asked if she wanted water, so considerate, can't be compared to some people at all, really frustrating!

  Qiao Ran saw An Xin's face turning red and hastily excusing herself, so he sent Fu Jie to eat by himself. An Xin thought this was despicable, she had finally found a gentle man to ease the tension, but he unknowingly drove her away.
