Chapter 8

  Ming Xiao Xi became a junior nun of Dong Si Cai Tuan.

  Like elsewhere, she quickly gained everyone's recognition. Her hands and feet were very nimble, as long as she was there, the office was always very clean and tidy; She was very diligent, always very enthusiastically helping everyone send files, copy things, often busy white-collar elites hadn't called her yet, she had already appeared automatically; Moreover, she also had a special skill, that is, she could always deliver what you wanted (maybe a cup of tea, maybe a cup of coffee, maybe a cup of orange juice...) to your hands at the most appropriate time. So everyone called her "Magic Xiaoxi".

  "Xiao Xi," called out Fujino-san, the capable planning department manager, stopping Ming Xiao Xi who was just about to head to the 34th floor with some documents.

  "Yes, sir!" she replied respectfully.

  "At half past, the chairman will come here to meet with Mr. Senbei of the Senbei Group. Mr. Senbei is a bit eccentric and always particularly fussy about the drinks served to him. There have been several unpleasant experiences in the past due to drinks. Today's meeting is especially important, so I don't want the drink issue to ruin the atmosphere, so..."

  "I understand. Manager, I will definitely satisfy Mr. Senai, don't worry."

  "Alright. I believe you have this ability."

  "But I find it a bit strange..."

  “……？”

  "Mr. Seni and the chairman, why did they come here to discuss things at that time? Shouldn't they be going to the chairman's office on the top floor during normal working hours?" Ming Xiaoxi asked in puzzlement.

  Miss Fuji smiled lightly: "That's why I said Mr. Senbei is a bit eccentric, anyway he's a big client, just let him be."

  "I understand. Manager, I think I've said too much."

  "As long as you can satisfy Mr. Senbei, nothing else matters."

  "Believe me, it's true!" Ming Xiaoxi patted her chest to assure her.

  It's all talk, but what does Mr. Senbonzakura actually like to drink? Ming Xiaoxi thought about this question in the tea room after delivering the documents. The people she usually comes into contact with in the office, what they are used to drinking, when they are used to drinking, as long as you observe carefully, it's not difficult to grasp. But Mr. Senbonzakura, she doesn't understand him at all, what should she prepare?

  "Xiao Xi." A familiar voice rang out.

  "Senior East Temple!" Ming Xiaoxi turned his head and was surprised to see Toji Hiroshi, "Senior, what brings you here?"

  "Are you still used to being here?" Tōji Hiromu gazed at her.

  Ming Xiao Xi nodded vigorously: "This is great! Thanks for introducing me here, senior!"

  "It's obvious. When I came in, I asked others where you were. As soon as they heard that I was looking for you, they immediately became very enthusiastic towards me."

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled happily: "Really? I also like the people here."

  "Why can you live so well everywhere?"

  "This...," she didn't know how to respond to him, "Maybe it's because I'm the invincible Ming Xiao Xi."

  "Hey... Toudou-senpai, why are you staring at me like that... Oh right, you still haven't told me how you ended up here?"

  "I'm here with my father to see an important client."

  "Your father... Ah, isn't he the chairman?"

  "Yes."

  "Then the person you want to see is Mr. Senbei?!" Ming Xiaoxi grabbed him suddenly.

  Tōji Hiroo didn't understand why she was so excited: "Yes."

  "What kind of person is Mr. Senbei? What does he like to drink?" Her eyes shone with eagerness.

  "Tohji Hiroshi thought for a moment: 'I've only met him twice before. He's very particular, and it seems like he doesn't like to drink anything... why are you asking this?'"

  "Really......" Ming Xiao Xi started pondering, might as well give it to him - that...

  "Mei Xiaoxi." Tōji Hiroto called back her attention, "You still haven't said why you asked this?"

  "Haha, you'll know soon." Ming Xiaoxi suddenly thought of a question, "Huh? Senior, why did the chairman bring you to discuss business?"

  "I'm not sure either, it was Mr. Senbei's request. Since he is Father's old friend, Father agreed."

  "Oh?......I see......"

  Ten minutes later, Ming Xiaoxi understood why Toji Hiroshi would appear here.

  There were four people in the conference room. One was a slightly chubby, smiling chairman of the Tōji Group, Japan's richest man - Tōji Hirakawa, one was a serious-looking and taciturn chairman of the Chii Group - Chii Mori, next to him was Tōji Hiroo, and one was a beautiful girl with a calm face and an elegant temperament - Chii Kaede.

  Intuition told Ming Xiaoxi that this scene was unusual, a bit like "blind date".

  Ming Xiaoxi hadn't forgotten her purpose for coming. She walked lightly to the four people and respectfully handed each of them a drink. Because Senaka Kaito had come to the planning department several times for business, Ming Xiaoxi was somewhat familiar with him, so she handed him a rich and creamy milk tea; she handed the Tōji father and son a moderate and elegant green tea that was neither too strong nor too weak; as for Senaka-san...

  Senori picked up the beautiful crystal cup and took a light sip: "This is... water?"

  "This is Japan's purest water, produced from Mt. Fuji, maintaining its most natural state, with a hint of sweetness in its clarity." Ming Xiao Xi smiled as she explained.

  Serious Senya Chigusa smiled: "Good, well said. Water, natural water, is the origin of all life and the purest substance in the world." He tilted his head back and drained the cup, "Another one!"

  "Brother Dongsi, even the little sisters in your office are so clever, it's no wonder that the Dongsi Group has been doing amazingly well in recent years."

  "Haha, come on... If it weren't for Senbei's strong support, we wouldn't be where we are today?" Tōji Hirakawa chuckled, "Senbei is also very lucky to have a talented and beautiful daughter like you to assist him. It makes me so envious!"

  As soon as the name Sena Aoi was mentioned, Sena Mori's spirit lifted: "Ah, my daughter is indeed capable. Don't look at her being only 18 years old, but sometimes her business mind even surpasses mine."

  "Haha, the Yangtze River's rear waves push forward, and from now on, the world belongs to these young people." Tōji Hirakawa smiled and turned his head towards Tōji Hiromu, "Hiromu, from now on, follow Senkai-san more often and learn a thing or two..."

  Ming Xiao Xi was pouring a second glass of water for Sen no Chie in the corner of the conference room, smiling slightly as she thought to herself that she never expected to see such an amusing scene, with Toudou-senpai being "sold" on something.

  "Father..." Higashi Toshiyuki's voice came out, but his words were cut off by another voice before he could finish.

  "Father," said Sen no Rikyū, standing up with a "hoh" sound, "it seems you don't have any business to discuss with Tōji today. If that's the case and this visit is just about arranging a marriage between me and Tōji's son, then I have more important things to attend to. Goodbye."

  She bowed to Tōji Hirakawa and walked out of the conference room without looking at Chieko Sen and Tōji Hiromu, leaving with a flourish.

  "Haha," said Terauchi Hirakawa with a smile to the embarrassed Seno no Chie, "How's that, Seno? I told you we'd never fool your daughter even if we went to such great pains."

  "Ugh... I really don't know what to do with her..." Sena Chihaya was very disappointed.

  Dong Si Pingchuan comforted him: "It's okay. I really appreciate Xiao Feng, she has personality, has her own opinions, and is a rare girl!"

  "But she and Hiro..."

  Dong Si Ping Chuan smiled slyly: "It's all about human effort, as long as we give them the opportunity..."

  "Father!" Terauchi Hiroshi, who had been enduring in silence, finally spoke out, "Please don't use your cunning business tactics on me!" After saying that, he left with a flourish, just like Senaka Chiaki.

  Tōji Hirakawa and Chii Moriguchi looked at each other: "Young people these days, they don't understand the hardships of adults..."

  Tonight, Ming Xiao Xi and Mu Ye Liu Bing came to Dong Si's house for dinner.

  Dongsi's mom had prepared a lot of delicious food as usual to entertain them. Ming Xiao Xi was savoring the food with relish, having a great time.

  Dong Si Hao Xue curiously asked Ming Xiao Xi: "Ming sister, you seem especially happy today."

  "Really?" Ming Xiao Xi raised her head to glance at her, but inadvertently met the gaze of Tōji Hiroshi. She let out a soft "puh" and chuckled lightly.

  Tōji Hiroo immediately gave her a sharp glare!

  Dong Si Hao Xue looked at Ming Xiao Xi sensitively, then looked at Dong Si Hao Nan: "You two are very strange, as if something has happened... Ah, Ming sister, you quickly tell me."

  Ming Xiao Xi suddenly thought of a question she had been neglecting: "Xiao Xue, I've come so many times, but it seems like I've never met your dad?"

  "Yes," said Tōji Kōsetsu, somewhat dejected. "Dad is always busy, and it's not just you who hasn't seen him - I haven't had a chance to talk with Dad in a long time either. I think all businesspeople are like that... they have a lot of things to take care of, and a lot of social obligations... In a few years, my brother will also be working for the conglomerate, and he'll probably end up like that too... By then, our home will become even more desolate... So, Akane, I've decided that when I grow up, I absolutely don't want to marry a businessman - being the wife of a businessman is just too pitiful."

  "What about those merchants, then?" Ming Xiaoxi thought for a moment, "Ah, I've got it! Let them marry a merchant's wife too. That way, they can have a double wedding and live together!"

  "Wow, Sister Ming, you're so clever!" Dong Si's Hao Xue clapped his hands in agreement.

  "Ming, Xiao, Xi!"

  Tōji Hiroo scolded her in a huff.

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled secretly and retreated to Mu Ye's side, covering her mouth: "Sorry, Dong Si Xue Sheng, I'll keep my mouth shut and won't say any more nonsense."

  "Akakawa..." Higashi Terao had a grudge, but he glanced at the cold and unfeeling Makino Ruka and ultimately let Akakawa off the hook.

  At this time, Dong Si led a servant to push in a food cart. The food cart was filled with all kinds of cut fruits.

  "She excitedly told everyone: 'Come and try these fruits quickly, they are what I got from shopping this afternoon.'"

  Ming Xiao Xi picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite: "Hmm! ... Dong Si's mom, did you personally pick out this watermelon?"

  "Right, right, I didn't let the boss help me, it was really picked by myself! How is it?"

  Ming Xiao Xi gave a thumbs up: "It's really great!"

  Makino Ryū hit her head with a chunk of ice: "Flatterer."

  "I wasn't flattering the abbot's mother," Ming Xiaoxi cried out in injustice, "Don't believe me? Try it for yourself! If it doesn't taste good, I'll give you my head! How dare you insult my character!"

  "Oh dear, I almost forgot something." Tōji Mizuki exclaimed softly, "There's only one more week until Christmas."

  "Are we going to have Christmas?!"" Higashitera Hiroshi exclaimed, "Yes! I love holidays!"

  "It's going to be Christmas... " Ming Xiaoxi was secretly surprised, had she been in Japan for that long already?

  "I did give you advance notice, didn't I? On Christmas Eve, don't schedule any activities, just come here and I'll be responsible for giving you a perfect night!" Dong Si Shui Yue declared with great fanfare.

  "Ryūko, Akaki, you must come!" The beautiful big eyes of Tōji Mizuki stared at them tightly.

  Ming Xiao Xi nodded in agreement: "Okay."

  "Huh? Chuan didn't come today......" Dong Si Shui Yue looked around, "I haven't seen Chuan for a very long time."

  "Yeah..." Tōji Hōsetsu hung his head in sorrow, "It's been a long time since Fūma no Kojirō came... I miss him so much..."

  "That... Little Snow, you're in charge of inviting Cheng to attend the Christmas Eve party, okay?" Dong Si Shui Yue was very aware of her daughter's concerns.

  "Alright!" Dong Si's spirit was roused again, "Even if I have to climb a mountain of knives or descend into a sea of fire, I will bring back Feng Jian Gege and present him with an unforgettable Christmas Eve!"

  Christmas is coming soon.

  What gift should I give to Makino Ichika? Akane Kiyoshi thought about this headache-inducing problem just like any other ordinary girl.

  After finishing her part-time job, she didn't rush home, but instead came to the largest department store in the city. She carefully examined each of the dazzling array of goods in front of her, beginning to understand how Terauchi Hiroshi felt when choosing a birthday gift for Kazehaya Kozue. Alas, with so many things, which one would be suitable for Makino Ichigo?

  "Miss, you haven't paid yet."

  "I forgot to bring money when I went out."

  "But if you don't pay, you can't take the goods away."

  "I'll send someone over with the money later."

  "Miss, it's not like that..."

  "I must take it with me right now."

  "But..."

  The salesgirl was so anxious that she turned around in circles. She had never met a customer like this before, and this customer gave off an aura that made people dare not disobey him. What to do?

  "Senaka Katsuragi? Is that you?"

  A pretty girl emerged between the stubborn Senkawa Kaede and the salesgirl.

  The salesgirl seemed to have grasped a lifeline: "Miss, do you know her?"

  Ming Xiao Xi hesitated and nodded: "Alright then." But she didn't know if he would recognize her...

  "She doesn't have money, but insists on taking away goods. We're also in a difficult situation..."

  Ming Xiao Xi took a look at the focal point of their dispute - oh, it turned out to be a pack of sanitary napkins! No wonder Qian Jing Feng insisted on taking them away, she must have encountered an "emergency situation".

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled: "It's okay, I'll help her buy it. How much does it cost in total?"

  "That's 20,000 yen in total."

  Wow, it's so expensive! The things used by rich people's daughters are indeed "expensive" beyond imagination. Ming Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue and took out her wallet, fortunately, the company had just given her salary, so she could afford to pay for this pack of sanitary napkins.

  Qian Jing picked up the sanitary napkin and nodded at Ming Xiao Xi before leaving.

  "Wait!" Ming Xiaoxi caught up with her.

  Sen no Kaori stopped in her tracks, her eyebrows furrowing imperceptibly: "Money, I'll pay you back."

  "Heh heh." Ming Xiao Xi smiled slyly, "I'm not talking about that. Just now I heard you say that you forgot to bring money when you went out. How are you going to get back home then?"

  She took out another note from her purse: "This is for your bus fare."

  "Qian Jing's eyebrows shot up in surprise: 'I never take public transportation.'"

  "Hehe, I know. But it's still better than walking home, right?"

  Qian Jing looked at her and finally stretched out her white and beautiful hand to take over the "small" bill: "I will return it to you."

  "Whatever...". Ming Xiao Xi waved her hand and muttered softly, "You don't even know who I am..."

  Ming Xiao Xi turned around and wanted to continue shopping at the department store.

  But just as she turned around, something suddenly emitted a dazzling light, attracting all her attention...

  Ming Xiao Xi pounced on that thing like a cat!

  It's a necklace.

  The pendant of the necklace is a crystal carved into a snowflake shape. Although it was locked in a glass cabinet, it still emitted a dazzling light like a dream.

  Ming Xiao Xi stared blankly...

  It's like Pastor Ni's eyes flowing with ice, flashing, so clear, so pure, so enchanting...

  "It's very expensive."

  "But it's really beautiful..."

  "You can't afford it."

  "How did you know..." Ming Xiaoxi turned around and found that Qian Jingfeng was actually beside her, "You haven't left yet?"

  Senrei mocked her: "With your meager salary from working part-time, you can't even afford it."

  "Mind your own business..." Ming Xiaoxi, who had been splashed with a bucket of cold water, was not very happy. "I'll definitely find a way!"

  "Huh?......That's not right, how did you know I was working?......Oh, so you remember me......" Ming Xiaoxi was very surprised. Can a rich family's child also remember an ordinary little sister like her?

  "Senaka smiled faintly: 'We will meet again.'"

  Two days later, when Ming Xiao Xi saw Senaka Kaito in the planning department, she finally understood what her words meant.

  The secretary of the planning department, Osumi, whispered to her, "Do you know who she is?"

  "......?" Ming Xiao Xi looked bewildered, but under the guidance of Xia Quan, she deeply understood that when someone was about to tell you a secret, you should appear completely clueless, which was the greatest respect for others.

  "She is the presumptive heir of the Senbei Group!"

  "Oh!" Ming Xiaoxi looked surprised.

  "Do you know what she came here for?"

  "...?" Ming Xiao Xi looked puzzled.

  "She was supposed to be representing the Senkai Group in overseeing the project, but actually...... Hehehe......"

  "What's it like?" Ming Xiaoxi asked enthusiastically.

  "It's actually the chairman who has taken a liking to her and has already decided that she will be his daughter-in-law, which is why he specially arranged for her to come here. I heard that the chairman's son will also be arriving soon. Who knows, they might even end up working in the same office! The chairman's move is really clever, letting the young couple grow closer over time. Once they get together, with the combined power of the Tōji Group and the Senkai Group, they'll conquer the whole world!"

  "Wow, Senior Da Sen is really amazing, you even understand this kind of thing clearly!" Ming Xiao Xi made a gesture of admiration.

  "Somewhere somewhere, if there's new intelligence later on, I'll continue to tell you." Taiga left with satisfaction.

  Akane Tsukishiro was taken aback, she had known that the chairman and Mr. Senbei wanted to matchmake Toshiyuki Tōji and Akira Senbei, but she didn't think the chairman would act so quickly. It seems that in order to make a name for oneself in the business world, one must be able to think on their feet and grasp the principle of "speed". But... I wonder if the chairman's scheme will succeed with Toshiyuki Tōji and Akira Senbei's personalities?

  Forget it, Sena Kiyoshi has entered the office for a long time. She should have sent drinks in and can't ruin the sign of "Miracle Xiaoxi".

  Ming Xiao Xi gently placed a cup of milk tea on Senaka Kaito's office desk: "Ms. Senaka, your drink."

  Sen no Kaji stretched out his hand from a large pile of documents, picked up the cup and took a sip, immediately straightening his back: "Milk tea..."

  "Do you still like it?"

  Qian Jing looked at Ming Xiao Xi strangely: "Have I ever told you that I like to drink milk tea? Why do you always give me this?"

  "It's really simple, once before when you came to the planning department, it just so happened that other colleagues in the office were having afternoon tea. I noticed your eyes on the milk tea looked very tempting, so I thought you must like drinking it a lot. Was I wrong?"

  Qian Jing did not answer her directly: "Did you make this milk tea yourself?"

  "Yes." Ming Xiao Xi was very confident in its taste, because the milk tea recipe was personally passed down by Feng Jian Cheng, and with his craftsmanship, he guaranteed that the things he made would make people praise without stopping.

  "If you open a milk tea shop, business will definitely be very good."

  "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Senbei. I won't disturb your work then. If there's anything that needs to be done, just call me anytime." Ming Xiaoxi put away the tray and prepared to leave.

  "Wait a minute." Sena Chihaya pulled out his wallet and took out several banknotes. "Here's your money back."

  "Oh." Ming Xiao Xi took it and looked at it, "Miss Sen, you seem to have given me too much. Let me give you the change." As she said that, she pulled out her wallet and searched for a while before finding the right amount of small bills.

  She put the change on Sen no Izumi's desk: "Ah, that makes just the right amount."

  Senaka held up her chin with his pale and beautiful hand, sizing her up: "Didn't you say forget it at first? Why do you want to now?"

  Ming Xiao Xi blinked her eyes: "I thought you didn't know who I was, so it's okay to say that. Now that you've seen me, shouldn't you also give me money? What's wrong with that?"

  Qian Jing suddenly laughed: "Ming Xiaoxi, you are really interesting."

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled with a pout, thinking to herself that she wasn't interesting at all, it was this Qian Jing Miss who was really interesting.

  "I heard you have a nickname called 'Miraculous Xiaoxi'?" said Senkai Kaito again.

  "Yes." Ming Xiao Xi didn't understand her intention.

  "If it's magical, then shouldn't many things be done?"

  "What do you mean......" Ming Xiaoxi was almost confused by her.

  Sen no Kaori smiled and picked up a thick stack of documents from the table: "There are many places in these documents where I drew red lines. Would you please print out all the parts that I drew red lines on by tomorrow?"

  "What? Ming Xiao Xi opened her mouth wide: "I... I'm just a little sister, isn't typing work usually done by secretaries? And my typing speed is very slow too!"

  Senrei raised an eyebrow: "The secretary is busy, and I'm in a hurry for these documents. Besides, you said there was something that needed to be done earlier, so it's fine to call you casually. How about it, can't you help me with this?"

  Ming Xiao Xi made a bitter face and lay in front of the computer, starting to practice "One Finger Divine Skill", typing out the documents that Qian Jing Feng needed. Good grief, there were so many, when would she finish?!

  The sky outside gradually darkened, and everyone in the office had left. Only Ming Xiao Xi was alone, fighting with her computer, the intermittent sound of keyboard typing being the only accompaniment to her struggle.

  Ming Xiao Xi went through the remaining documents one last time, ah, there were still so many! When could she go home? She wondered if Muye Liu Bing would find something to eat on his own.

  As soon as she thought of Makino Fuyu no Ike, it seemed like her whole body was filled with infinite courage!

  Isn't it just a small typing task? How can it stump the invincible Ming Xiaoxi?

  Eleven o'clock at night.

  Min Xiao Xi, who was suffering from muscle and bone aches, finally crawled into her apartment.

  Makino Ryū gazed at her slumped in the chair: "You've been coming back very late these past two days, is something wrong?"

  Ming Xiao Xi rubbed her sore arm: "Qian Jing from the office asked me to type some documents, and my typing speed is a bit slow, so I came back late. By the way," she looked at him with concern, "you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

  Makino Ryu shook his head.

  Ming Xiao Xi got up and walked towards the kitchen: "Sigh, I expected you hadn't eaten yet, won't your stomach hurt? You should find something to eat first."

  Makino Ryūhi grasped her hand: "You take a rest, I'll cook today."

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at the food cooked by Mu Ye and was moved to tears: "Ice... you can actually cook... and it looks delicious..."

  Two bowls of fast food noodles steaming with fragrance...

  Makino glared at her with cold eyes: "Eat quickly!"

  Ming Xiao Xi, who was happy, picked up her chopsticks and was about to pick up the noodles... Suddenly, she let out a cry of "Ah", and her arm, which had been working hard for two days, began to strongly protest, making it impossible for her to even complete the small action of eating. She gritted her teeth and hit her useless right arm, what a shameful thing!

  Makino's icy gaze stopped her movement: "What are you doing? Be rough with yourself! Come here!" He motioned for her to move the chair over.

  "Ah...... good...... **......" Ming Xiao Xi moaned happily.

  Makino's icy massage on her shoulders and arms was just right, making her muscles feel so relaxed that she felt like a goddess.

  "Mmm... ice... you're even better than a professional masseuse... ah... right there... ah..."

  Ming Xiao Xi was so happy that she almost cried. Bing cooked for her today and even gave her a massage. What more could one ask for in life?

  "Aren't you too tired? If so, then don't do it," said Makino Ruki in a soft voice.

  "Not tired!" Ming Xiao Xi hastily declared, "I work very well and am very happy!"

  "But..."

  "These two days were just Miss Senbei asking me to help her with some things, I've already finished them all, and from tomorrow on, everything will be back to normal!"

  "Really?"

  "I swear to you! However," Ming Xiao Xi smiled slyly, "I also have to thank Miss Senbei. If she hadn't made me so tired... how would I know that ice can be so gentle and good to me?"

  "Silly girl! What have I ever done for you!" Makiyo Ruri was very fierce.

  "Huh? You're not cooking and massaging again, are you? So it's true what the others said, you're that type of person who looks cold on the outside but is actually passionate on the inside...... Ah! It hurts!" Ming Xiaoxi shrieked in surprise, her bones almost crushed by Makihara Fuyu's palm just now.

  It seems the ancients were right, you can eat a lot of rice, but you can't say too much...

  Ming Xiao Xi's boast came too early. Her miserable typing career did not end immediately, but instead continued for another two days. During these two days, Senkawa Kaede gave her twice the workload of the previous two days.

  Akane Akaiya walked into Senaka Kiyomi's office, holding a nearly one-foot thick stack of printed documents: "Senaka-san, this is the document you assigned to me. I've finished printing it."

  Qian Jing picked up a copy at will, took a closer look: "Ming Xiao Xi, I'm amazed by your work ability. You can actually complete them all in such a short time, and there aren't many mistakes."

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled wryly: "Thank you for your praise, Miss Senrei." She thought to herself, this was something she had obtained at a non-human cost.

  Qian Jing looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "Ming Xiao Xi, don't you think I'm intentionally making things difficult for you?"

  Ming Xiao Xi was surprised: "Why did I feel that way? Didn't you just come to the planning department and not be familiar with everyone, so you didn't want to trouble others and came to ask for my help?"

  "Are you really thinking that?"

  "Ah, yes... But..." Ming Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, Senbei-san, I'd be happy to help you out, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I was thinking of leaving some time after work to take care of some personal matters. If you have any more documents that need printing, could you possibly wait for two days?"

  "Are you going to buy Christmas gifts?"

  "Yeah, I haven't prepared anything yet." Ming Xiaoxi scratched his head.

  "Alright, you don't have to file today."

  "Thank you, Miss Senbei!" Ming Xiaoxi happily prepared to leave.

  "Wait a minute."

  Ming Xiao Xi stood there in confusion, didn't you say it was nothing?

  Sen no Kaori pulled out a bulging envelope from her drawer: "Here."

  There's so much money in the envelope...

  "Minako looked puzzled and asked: 'Miss Senri, what is...'"

  "This is your reward for typing."

  Ming Xiao Xi's mouth was wide open: "This..."

  Qian Jing smiled easily: "Don't worry, I'm paying you the normal rate for a typist per thousand words. It's absolutely fair compensation for your labor. Take a look at this money, is it enough for you to buy Christmas gifts? If not, I can advance some to you first, anyway, there are still many documents waiting for you to type."

  "Miss Sen... " Ming Xiao Xi was moved to tears, "Thank you..."

  "Alright, you can go now." Sena Chihaya waved her hand, "I still have a lot of things to attend to."

  Ming Xiao Xi grasped the money, excitedly standing outside the office. Christmas present... her Christmas present... finally had the money to buy one...

  As clear as crystal
