CHAPTER 778: CHAPTER 778: THESE TWO CAN’T ESCAPE

"Xiaobo, did you hit the jackpot or something? You’re actually willing to invite me out for dinner... Oh, who’s this handsome guy?"

Han Xiaoying, with her vibrant youthful beauty, teased as she appeared in front of Zheng Xiaobo and immediately noticed Ye Xuan standing beside him with curiosity.

"Xiaoying, this is Ye Xuan, the sales manager at our Company, and also my boss."

Zheng Xiaobo scratched his head and pointed at Ye Xuan as he introduced him.

"Manager Ye, hello, my name is Han Xiaoying."

Han Xiaoying smiled sweetly and nodded at Ye Xuan.

"Hehe, hello! You must be Xiaobo’s girlfriend, right?" Ye Xuan replied with a smile, stepping forward to greet her.

At those words, Han Xiaoying’s face instantly flushed red, and she retorted lightly,

"Manager Ye, you must have heard some nonsense from Xiaobo, right? I... I’m not his girlfriend yet! I’ll consider it depending on his future performance. At the very least, he needs to become a security manager before I agree. Otherwise, how is he going to provide for me?"

Han Xiaoying said this partly out of the reserve typical to a girl, not wanting to admit it so easily, and partly because she wanted to give Zheng Xiaobo a push, making it clear that it wouldn’t be so easy to win her over as his girlfriend. He would at least have to work his way up to being a security manager, so she could also have something to be proud of.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Ye Xuan was smiling, and even Zheng Xiaobo, whom she had just glared at, had an excited look on his face, as if someone had injected him with adrenaline!

Hmm? What’s with these two, acting so strangely upon hearing her words?

"Xiaoying, if I become the security manager, would you really be willing to be my girlfriend?" Zheng Xiaobo asked excitedly.

"Hmph! We’ll talk about that when you actually become the security manager!"

Han Xiaoying tilted her head up with proud coquettishness.

"Hehehe..." Zheng Xiaobo scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.

"You guys..."

Han Xiaoying was puzzled, feeling as lost as a monk who couldn’t find his head.

"Haha, Xiaobo, you better explain it yourself!"

Ye Xuan laughed out loud. Han Xiaoying didn’t know about Zheng Xiaobo’s promotion yet and had made such a stipulation, which was like handing Zheng Xiaobo the opportunity on a silver platter!

"Xiaoying, you don’t have to wait any longer, I got promoted today! I am now the security manager!"

Zheng Xiaobo’s face was flushed with excitement, and he proudly announced his new position.

At that moment, although he wanted to contain his emotions, his voice couldn’t help trembling a bit! It wasn’t just because of his promotion, but even more importantly, Han Xiaoying had agreed to consider being his girlfriend.

Even though it was just a consideration, and she hadn’t made a clear statement yet! But for him, this was a huge surprise, and the chances of succeeding in his pursuit had significantly increased!

"What? You’ve really become the security manager?!"

Han Xiaoying was stunned, her mouth forming an ’O’ shape, hardly believing what she had heard.

Until yesterday, Zheng Xiaobo had been just an ordinary security guard, but today, he had suddenly been promoted to manager! His promotion speed was faster than a rocket, wasn’t it?!

"Hehe, of course, it’s true. Don’t believe me? I’ll show you the personnel transfer order!"

Zheng Xiaobo, gloating with pride, took out the personnel transfer order that was folded in his pocket and handed it to a shocked Han Xiaoying.

Taking the transfer order and glancing at it, sure enough, it was an official notice appointing Zheng Xiaobo as the security manager. Zheng Xiaobo wasn’t lying!

In an instant, Han Xiaoying’s eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed with a face full of amazement, "Really? Xiaobo, you’re so amazing, now you’ve become the security manager."

"See, I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

Zheng Xiaobo scratched the back of his head, then said with a face full of admiration, "Xiaoying, it’s not that I’m amazing! It’s my boss who’s incredible. It’s all thanks to his support that I was able to become the security manager. He helped me get the position!"

Hearing this, Han Xiaoying was even more surprised and looked at Ye Xuan in amazement, "Manager Ye, you’re so incredible? Even the security manager’s position, you can just get it if you say so, that’s unbelievable!"

"Xiaoying, didn’t you just say that if Xiaobo became the security manager, you would agree to be his girlfriend? So, how about it, now that he’s been promoted, are you planning to be his girlfriend?" Ye Xuan laughed with a chuckle.

"I... I never said that! Manager Ye, don’t talk nonsense!"

Han Xiaoying’s cheeks turned red as she suddenly realized what she had just said.

If Zheng Xiaobo became the security manager, would that mean... that I would... oh, how embarrassing!

"Still trying to argue? I heard it with my own ears! You clearly said just now that Xiaobo needs to become a security manager to support you. Xiaobo, you heard it too, right? I’m not making this up!"

Ye Xuan tried to hold back his laughter, turned to Zheng Xiaobo, and winked at him as he spoke.

Zheng Xiaobo stood there with a silly smile, nodding vigorously, probably too excited to speak.

"I... I didn’t say that! I just said... said that if he became the security manager, I would consider it! Ah, you two are so mean, setting traps for me! I’m not talking to you anymore."

Han Xiaoying showed a shy expression, quickly muttered an explanation, stomped her foot, and then turned her little head away, pretending to ignore the two men.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan laughed heartily; it was obvious the girl couldn’t swallow her pride, but in her heart, she had already accepted it!

It seemed that Han Xiaoying did care about Zheng Xiaobo to some extent. In Ye Xuan’s experience, these two were not getting away from each other.

Seeing Han Xiaoying’s reaction, Zheng Xiaobo was a bit nervous, and hurriedly scurried over to comfort her, afraid that she might get angry.

Meanwhile.

In a small alley fifty meters away from the three, a place that was very inconspicuous, there was a black sedan parked at the entrance to the alley.

A man dressed in sportswear and wearing a baseball cap squinted his eyes as he stared at the three people leaving the Company, a dark gleam crossing his eyes!

...

Lunch was settled at a medium-sized restaurant, where the three of them ordered eight or nine dishes, along with some drinks, and in the end, the bill came to nearly a thousand!

For the average person, this was quite a hefty sum.

The bill was naturally paid by Zheng Xiaobo, as had been agreed upon beforehand. Even though spending nearly a thousand on a meal pinched a bit for Zheng Xiaobo, given his not-so-high salary, he still generously threw out a wad of cash to pay.

He himself would not be willing to spend so much on a meal, and it was even less likely when inviting others! However, the same couldn’t apply to Ye Xuan; he shouldn’t be stingy, not to mention that Ye Xuan was his boss and also the one who let him become the security manager, his benefactor!

Therefore, he had to be generous no matter what, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable. Besides, Han Xiaoying was also present, and who could court a girl without spending money? He spent the money willingly.

After the meal, an hour later, the three returned to the Company, going their separate ways in the lobby on the first floor.

Just as Ye Xuan was about to head to the sales department, suddenly, his cellphone rang. Taking it out, he discovered it was an unknown caller number.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button, "Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Mr. Ye? It’s me, Yao Xingtong!"

The voice that came through the phone was like that of a golden oriole, very serene and graceful.
