39: Chapter 39: A Date with the President!

Xie Wanjun was taken aback!

She clearly noticed that Tang Xiao’s expression and demeanor had changed drastically.

There really was something going on with Wu Jie!

“Of course I’m sure!

Not just me, all the sisters saw it!

It was definitely the uniform of the corporate headquarters’ security!”

Tang Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

“Fine, I got it!”

That sentence implied that it was time for her to leave.

Xie Wanjun got the hint and immediately turned to leave.

As soon as the door closed, Tang Xiao called Wu Jie.

“Where are you?”

“In the monitoring center.

What about you?

Have you eaten?” Wu Jie asked playfully.

Tang Xiao demanded, “I sent you to the Security Division not to be a guard watching over this building, but to be a senior security consultant, at the very least a special agent.

Otherwise, how can you go with me to Africa in the future?”

“When I went to HR for the transfer order to the Security Division, Manager Zhao assigned me to the headquarters’ security section.”

Tang Xiao slapped her forehead, somewhat speechless.

The Security Division had several subdivisions: the security section, special service section, intelligence technology section, and overseas security section.

And the security section was the least technical.

Walking around the building, watching monitors, occasionally standing guard, maintaining order during events… what kind of skill did that require?

In Tang Xiao’s opinion, with Wu Jie’s capabilities, he was definitely qualified to be in the special service section, and at the very least an A-level agent, ready to rush to various locations to handle emergency situations.

But what happened in the end?

“This is my fault.

I forgot to give Zhao Dong a heads-up, which led to the misunderstanding that you were demoted.

I’ll call Zhao Dong right now to arrange for you to join the special service section!”

Wu Jie laughed.

“Do you think that’s necessary?

I look at the guys in the special service section: they’re always in high-intensity training, too tiring.

Being a guard is more relaxing!”

Tang Xiao asked anxiously, “Just promoted to deputy manager and then demoted to a guard, aren’t you worried about being laughed at?”

“Despise me?

Haha, I would love for them to hate me!”

Tang Xiao exclaimed in surprise, “What do you mean by that?

Could it be that being hated by Wang Kun isn’t enough for you?”

“Er… I was just saying!

Actually, there’s no high or low in work, I don’t mind where I work.

At your command, would Manager Zhao dare not release me?”

Tang Xiao thought it over and found it made sense.

“All right then!

Since you like it, we’ll do it your way.

But there’s something I need to tell you in advance.

Next weekend is my grandpa’s ninetieth birthday, and you’ll accompany me to the celebration, no problem right?”

“Of course, no problem.

Not just next week, anytime you have a dinner engagement, I’m always free to join you!”

Wu Jie was quite forthright.

Tang Xiao laughed, “If you want to mooch a meal, just say so.

You don’t need to look for reasons.

But speaking of which, today, you managed to force Wang Kun to buy back the project shares cleanly, allowing the company to make a small profit.

I should treat you to a meal.

Drive your new car after work!”

“No problem!

Someone’s coming in, so I’ll see you after work!”

Wu Jie immediately hung up the phone.

“Not bad!

You’re quite aware of the need to keep our relationship secret!”

Tang Xiao put down her phone, turned on the TV to watch the financial news while eating lunch quickly.

The group’s decision to abandon a billion-dollar real estate project had a certain impact on the stock price after the news was announced to the public, but luckily, the fluctuations weren’t particularly large, this put Tang Xiao’s mind at ease.

After lunch, she attended the real estate division’s work meeting, and in the blink of an eye, it was five o’clock, time to get off work.

However, Wu Jie was now a guard, working twelve-hour shifts, so Tang Xiao went back to her office to look at some documents, waiting until Wu Jie was about to finish his shift before heading to the parking lot.

At six-ten.

Wu Jie had changed back into casual clothes and hurried over.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“I knew you guys switched shifts at six, and there’s handover time afterward, so I just arrived too.

Let me drive!”

Tang Xiao went straight to the driver’s seat.

Wu Jie looked surprised and chuckled, “Are you actually being kind-hearted?”

“You say being a security guard is easy, but I don’t think it’s easy at all!”

Tang Xiao buckled her seatbelt and very skillfully started the car.

“Uh… my feet really do hurt!”

As he settled into the seat and relaxed, Wu Jie suddenly felt like both of his legs didn’t belong to him anymore.

The headquarters building was so large, and there were so many patrol spots that walking just one round took a very long time.

As she drove, Tang Xiao laughed and said, “Do you still think being a security guard is easy?”

Wu Jie shook his head with a sheepish smile, “It seems easy, but it’s really too dull and boring.

I’m starting to miss the marketing department!”

Tang Xiao laughed, “Go back to the marketing department for what?

To continue communicating with clients, writing proposals, and making PPTs?

Since you have skills, don’t hide them away.

Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to go to the Special Service Division, or some other department is fine too, to make your job less boring and tedious.”

“To make it exciting and dangerous?” Wu Jie asked mockingly with a cold laugh.

Tang Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, “Don’t you like it?”

“I like it!

I like any job you arrange for me!”

Wu Jie turned his head and glanced at her, noticing Tang Xiao’s black hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall, her perfect facial contour lines creating an exquisitely beautiful profile.

With just a slight smile, she was absolutely stunning.

Tang Xiao glanced sideways and said with a smile, “This isn’t a chat, there’s no need for such sweet talk.”

Tang Xiao frowned slightly as she glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of her eye.

“That car behind us has been following us for several streets now!”

Wu Jie sat up to look at the rearview mirror and said, “A Range Rover, huh!

Are they following you, or me?”

With a cold snort, Tang Xiao said, “Nonsense!

I haven’t provoked anyone recently, but you – I don’t believe for a second that Wang Kun hasn’t taken any action against you.”

“It seems he won’t rest until he kills me,” Wu Jie remarked, lowering his seat and half-reclining to enjoy the chair’s electric massage.

Seeing this, Tang Xiao shook her head with a wry smile.

“Look at you, not afraid of Wang Kun at all!”

“Afraid of what?” Wu Jie laughed, “Although I had the chance to finish him off last night, I prefer keeping him around because the more he hates me, the happier I am!”

Tang Xiao was taken aback and astounded.

“Ah?

How can you be so…

twisted?”

Wu Jie gave a cold snicker and did not explain.

Kill Wang Kun?

He didn’t want to.

The guy was worth a whopping six thousand energy points with each bout of hatred, equivalent to six thousand dollars.

Where else could one find such a lucrative deal?

Moreover, he still needed several hundred thousand energy points to complete the system’s second task with a reward.

If he could make Wang Kun hate him a few hundred times, wouldn’t the task be completed?

Of course, that was just a hypothetical scenario.

The reality was…

A few Range Rovers followed right to the restaurant, but no one got out of the cars.

However, shortly after Wu Jie and Tang Xiao entered the restaurant, the system reported good news three times in just a few minutes.

Obviously, Wang Kun’s anger could no longer be contained.

Having been publicly embarrassed by him and his relationship with Tang Xiao utterly ruined, how could Wang Kun not hate him?

Choosing a seat by the window, Wu Jie opened it to look down at the parking lot below.

Unexpectedly, he found himself in a direct stare-down with an enraged Wang Kun exiting his car, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

One look was all it took to know this was someone he wanted to punch!

Watching Wu Jie’s carefree and smug demeanor, Wang Kun waved his hand fiercely, and immediately several burly men rushed into the building…
