Therefore, today at lunch, Song Xuanhe, who rarely spoke while eating, started to ask Xiao Yuanmu questions about work.
“The beef is really tender today.” Song Xuanhe swallowed down a piece of beef, watching Xiao Yuanmu, who didn’t even look up from his bowl of food, for his reaction. He continued, “But, there’s a bit too much cumin. Put a bit less in next time.” dwL9JI
Xiao Yuanmu looked up and said, “You said that you wanted a lot of cumin in your beef this morning.”
“Did I?” Song Xuanhe’s gaze flickered back and forth, looking guilty. He then defended himself. “But, I didn’t say that you had to put in this much.”
Xiao Yuanmu gave him an indifferent glance before looking away to continue eating.
“I heard that there’s a new hire in your department?” Song Xuanhe picked up another piece of beef and chose a random topic to lead in with. Acting as if he was just mentioning this casually, he said, “Seems like he graduated from the same school as us. How is he at work?” 1Nzb9s
Xiao Yuanmu’s hand paused while picking up food with his chopsticks. After meticulously chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth, Xiao Yuanmu calmly said, “I don’t know him.”
“He’s in the same field as you, and he’s your junior, how could you not know him?” Song Xuanhe asked, “I heard that he has good grades and good practical skills. Do you think your manager will come to rely on him more?”
“I don’t know.” Xiao Yuanmu’s voice was cold.
“I heard that when he graduated, the Bank of Hai City had wanted him to come intern for them. In order to snatch him, the Song Group gave him a starting salary that is twenty percent higher than normal. During the managers’ meeting yesterday, the venture investment division’s manager seemed to really appreciate him. He complimented him for a long time, saying that he had unique insights. I heard that he had made a profit of ten million in stocks while he had still been testing the waters as a university student. Don’t know if that’s true though.” Db3AOy
“I don’t know.”
Seeing that Xiao Yuanmu showed no reaction, Song Xuanhe placed his chopsticks down and got to the point while pretending to be nonchalant. “If your manager starts to rely on him a lot and starts to marginalize you, will you feel like you won’t be able to realize your aspirations here and quit?”
Xiao Yuanmu finally spoke more than three words. He asked, “Are you saying all of this because you’re afraid that I’ll quit?”
No. I want to get information from you and then make your department manager marginalize you, thereby forcing you to quit.
It was just that Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu, who were sitting between these two, were forced to listen to their conversation. Although they weren’t annoyed, it was still uncomfortable.
At this moment, Xue Mian seemed to realize that he had gotten too into his conversation with Huang Cong. He looked at Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu apologetically. “Sorry, I forgot about everything else while talking to Director Huang about work. We must have bothered you.”
Song Xuanhe didn’t believe that Xue Mian, who had an extremely good reputation within the industry and was said to conduct himself well despite his young age, would have made such a novice error. Furthermore, when he had been speaking to Director Huang just now, every time he had said something profound or unique, he had discreetly glanced at Xiao Yuanmu from the corner of his eye. Song Xuanhe wasn’t blind. He knew what the other was up to. I68Dig
It was just that Xiao Yuanmu, who had been watched by Xue Mian this whole time, didn’t seem to notice. From beginning to end, his eyes were calmly on the screen in front of them. When he had heard Xue Mian’s apology, he only spoke in an emotionless, plain tone, “The movie has already started. You’re not only disturbing us, you’re also disturbing the other viewers.”
The author has something to say:
Xiao Yuanmu: Am I a man who will make a mistake in front of my partner?
Song Xuanhe: Thank you to all the older brother, older sister, younger brother, younger sister, auntie, mom, girlfriend and wife fans for your support! I will definitely work harder in the future to make everyone love me! ujyoFY
Xiao Yuanmu: What’s a girlfriend fan or wife fan?
Song Xuanhe: People who like me because of how ‘boyfriend material’ I am. I’m drawing in fans with my abilities. Do you have a problem with that?
Xiao Yuanmu: As long as you only have one husband, that’s fine.
Eve: OMG HAHAHAHA. This little ‘game of wits’ between them is so funny. SXH trying to be sneaky and XYM teasing him like this kills me. And then XM, honey, move over. Our MuMu only has eyes for one person. Lastly, I am 100% a mom fan for SXH. My baby <3 cWvPSi\n
