Chapter 295: Chapter 296: The Chairman is Looking for Him

Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru had waited upstairs for a while, but still hadn’t seen Song Xiaodong come up. Miao Qingqing, with a somewhat displeased expression, said, "Sister Xiaoru, did that guy just leave because he was angry?"

Song Xiaoru knew Song Xiaodong had a bit of a temper. He was completely submissive to her, but when it came to other women, he probably couldn’t manage that, and she immediately said, "How about I go downstairs and fetch him?"

Miao Qingqing hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaoru, let’s have the secretary give him a call to check if he’s still there and ask him to come up. I hope you don’t mind." She was feeling a bit embarrassed since she had been bickering with Song Xiaodong in front of Song Xiaoru.

By now, Song Xiaoru was aware of the kind of relationship between Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaodong, and having interacted with Miao Qingqing for some time, she had increasingly recognized Miao Qingqing’s remarkable ability. Managing such a large corporate group was no small feat for a young woman, which greatly increased her fondness for Miao Qingqing.

"Well then, Qingqing, rest assured, I won’t interfere with Xiaodong’s emotional matters. Whoever he likes and ends up marrying will be my sister-in-law. You don’t need to worry about my feelings."

"Sister Xiaoru, I... I really..." Miao Qingqing suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

"Ha, I’m not getting involved in your matters. You handle it your way. But if he dares to wrong someone, I will help teach him a lesson," she added.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoru."

Miao Qingqing took a deep breath and this time, she did not argue back. As a CEO, she naturally wouldn’t act as shy as a typical young girl might.

"I’m going to use the restroom," Song Xiaoru said with a smile and then stood up to leave.

Only then did Miao Qingqing instruct the secretary to call the security room.

At that moment, Song Xiaodong was talking with Wang Chenggui. Wang, in the manner of a successfully established person educating Song Xiaodong, said, "Look, Dongzi, you really need to strive harder. Look at our classmates, each one is beginning to land substantial jobs. Not to mention others, just look at me. Although I’m just an ordinary employee at the company, I have a high salary and good benefits. With a monthly salary of five to six thousand, promotion and a raise will come after a couple of years. You loafing around like this is really not acceptable."

"Yes, yes!" Song Xiaodong appeared sincerely receptive, after all, the advice came from good intentions, and he didn’t want to show disrespect.

"I’m telling you, young people need to have drive; that’s the only way to achieve something significant. Look at our company’s chairman, so young and yet managing such a large company. Her style and aura are truly awe-inspiring."

Just then, the phone rang. After the security officer answered the call, he looked at Song Xiaodong with a somewhat strange expression and said, "Mr. Song, the chairman wants you to come upstairs."

"Oh, alright." Song Xiaodong nodded.

"Being able to work under a company chairman like this is a real privilege. Ah, but talking to you about this is pointless; you don’t even get to see our chairman’s face, let alone understand her grace. Oh? Wait, what did you say? The chairman asked him to come up?"

While Wang Chenggui was in full flow, and his expression was one of longing when he talked about Miao Qingqing, he momentarily did not catch the conversation between Song Xiaodong and the security officer. When he finally did, he exclaimed in astonishment.

"Oh, Wang Chenggui, let’s chat another time. The chairman has a bad temper, and I’ll be scolded if I go late." Song Xiaodong then hurriedly left the security room, keen on avoiding any more lectures from Wang Chenggui.

Wang Chenggui stood there for a moment, no longer able to see Song Xiaodong’s figure, and then turned to the security officer, asking, "The chairman asked him to meet her? What’s their relationship?"

"I don’t know, but he just tried to follow the chairman into the executive elevator, then we stopped him," replied the security officer.

Wang Chenggui furrowed his brow and then shook his head, saying, "He can’t possibly have any relationship with the chairman. Maybe it’s just some trash on her floor she wants him to clean up."

Song Xiaodong had arrived at Miao Qingqing’s office, where Miao Qingqing was seated behind the desk, arms crossed over her shoulders, her gaze icy as she looked at him.

"What do you want from me?" Song Xiaodong sat down directly across from Miao Qingqing, with one leg cocked over the other, showing little regard for his appearance.

Miao Qingqing stared at Song Xiaodong and said slowly, "You just took advantage of me, and now you can sit in front of me with that attitude, don’t you feel any guilt?"

Song Xiaodong promptly pulled out a cigarette, and Miao Qingqing immediately frowned and said, "Smoking is not allowed here."

Song Xiaodong completely ignored her, lit the cigarette, and then leisurely responded, "Wasn’t it you who teased me first? I was just striking back."

"You..." Miao Qingqing glared fiercely at him. In her office, not to mention the employees, even other company CEOs who visited this office didn’t smoke, yet this guy completely disregarded her.

She stood up and walked towards the water dispenser, her high heels clicking crisply and rhythmically.

Dressed in a snug professional suit and skirt, with flesh-colored stockings, her hips swayed slightly as she walked, her movement elegant and beautiful.

Miao Qingqing took some water with a paper cup, turned around, and caught Song Xiaodong staring at her. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she placed it in front of Song Xiaodong with annoyance and said, "Don’t flick your ash on the floor."

"Thanks." Song Xiaodong dismissively flicked the ash into it.

Miao Qingqing felt as if she were playing the role of a secretary serving a great lord, which also made her somewhat irritable.

Song Xiaodong asked, "What do you want from me anyway? I’m very busy."

Miao Qingqing sat back down and stared at him, saying, "Busy? Busy chasing after your class belle?"

"Yes, she’s quite beautiful, and she used to have a crush on me. Flirting with her feels pretty good."

"You... hmph, you have so many beautiful girls around you, and most seem superior to that class belle. Am I to criticize your taste, or say you are blind?"

Song Xiaodong blew a smoke ring and said, "Really? But I like it this way. First, we’ve known each other since high school, and second, I can flirt to alleviate some loneliness without being responsible."

Miao Qingqing’s face darkened, and she snorted, "You really are shameless, and I will definitely tell that class belle and not let you have your way."

"Whatever."

Looking at Song Xiaodong’s indifferent expression, Miao Qingqing felt infuriated, snorted, and said, "Have you forgotten our agreement?"

"What agreement?" Song Xiaodong’s eyes narrowed.

Miao Qingqing, stared down by Song Xiaodong, suddenly felt somewhat uneasy inside.
