Tang Xi looked at the angry Chu Ling, and raised her eyebrows. “What’s up?”
Chu Ling had been angry, but when he saw the red eyes of Tang Xi, he paused, then blinked and frowned awkwardly. He reluctantly asked, “Did Qiao Liang bully you?”
Tang Xi was stunned at his question. She blinked and then looked at him and raised her eyebrows. “No, why do you ask?”
“Then why are you crying?” Chu Ling pursed his lips. “You look so ugly with red eyes!”
Tang Xi paused and then remembered she did cry just now. She shrugged, sat down on her chair, turned on the computer and asked Chu Ling, “What can I do for you?”
What? Was this woman out of her mind? Today was the first day he worked in this company! Wasn’t she supposed to introduce him to other employees? And... was this woman really concerned about her own company?!
Tang Xi suddenly thought of something, lunges to her feet and looked apologetically at Chu Ling. “Oh, sorry. I’ve been too busy today, so I forgot about you. Let’s go. I’m going to introduce you to the employees. Glad to work with you, President Chu.”
Chu Ling sullenly curled his lips. “It’ll only be two years. I’ll leave in two years... Such a stupid company. I’m forced...”
“I’m your queen!” Tang Xi suddenly said seriously. Chu Ling was started and looked at her. Tang Xi smiled at him. “I’m the queen here. You should serve the queen. And this company is not a stupid company. It’s called The Queen. Please bear it in mind.”
Chu Ling cast a baffled glance at Tang Xi, put his hand into his pocket and swaggered out. Tang Xi looked at his back and shook her head with a smile. She should have known this man was not simple when she first met him in the toilet of that restaurant. Besides... competent people were usually eccentric. She shouldn’t hold a biased view against him...
It was a blessing for employees to have such a handsome CEO. Li Manyan was the most excited one and even blushed at Chu Ling. Jin Han couldn’t stand it anymore and directly dragged her away. Even after they went a long way away, Tang Xi could still hear Li Manyan shouting about how she wanted to see the handsome... Tang Xi looked at the little couple and shook her head with a smile...
Several female employees surrounded Chu Ling, saying shyly that they had questions to ask him. Chu Ling gave them a dark face to scare them away. Tang Xi shrugged nonchalantly. In any case, Chu Ling had to rely on the employees if he wanted to run the company well. She wasn’t worried that Chu Ling would give a cold shoulder to the employees. In the end, Chu Ling still had to rely on them...
To her surprise, however, she was disillusioned two minutes later. Tang Xi looked surprised at Chu Ling who interrupted her communication with 008, blinked and asked him, “What did you say?”
“I said that a professional team is required if you want your company to succeed in half a year. I’ll use my own team. Only in that way can I guarantee efficiency,” Chu Ling sat casually opposite to Tang Xi.
Tang Xi smiled and looked at Chu Ling as she said, “I don’t have enough money to pay you. I don’t have any problem if you take your professional team with you here, but I won’t pay them any money.”
“You wish...” Chu Ling squinted at Tang Xi. “No pain, no gain. You know the saying, right?”
“Yes, I saved your life, so you should serve my company to pay me back. It’s a fair deal...” Tang Xi smiled, leaned back on the chair and looked at Chu Ling. “Don’t think you should pay me back?”
“I can pay you back by giving you my body, but not anything else. Sorry.” Chu Ling stood up. “I can’t communicate with you. I think I’d better talk to Qiao Liang.” He turned to leave Tang Xi’s office, and suddenly came back, pushed the door open and looked at Tang Xi. “I suddenly realised that you and Qiao Liang really make a perfect match. Have you prepared the design drawings for this coming Paris Fashion Week?”
Tang Xi became excited when it came to the Paris Fashion Week. She sat straight up and nodded. Chu Ling sat down opposite to her. “Any plans on how to do this?”
“This Fashion Week is a good chance for us to attract people’s gazes, but I don’t have any means of getting the invitation. I’m trying to work out a way to get it in three days. I’ll try...”
“I can get the invitation, but you know it’s not easy to do a fashion show at Paris Fashion Week, not to mention The Queen is still a new brand. Even your boyfriend’s company didn’t manage to attend the fashion week until this year. If you want to attract attention during the fashion week, you’re going to have to prepare very good designs. Can you show me two by tonight?” Thinking of Xiao Rou’s education background, Chu Ling pursed his lips and continued, “I mean...”
“Okay.” Tang Xi nodded. “If you can help me get the invitation and a place on the runway, I’m sure The Queen will shoot to fame.”
Chu Ling smiled, stood up and looked at Tang Xi. “I hope your work will be as beautiful as you.”
Tang Xi looked at his back and smiled confidently. She then resumed the talk with 008, but 008 refused to give her the answer she wanted. She frowned. “You don’t know? Then what do I need you for?!”
008’s mechanical voice rang: [I’m not an intelligence network. How am I supposed to know these things? Besides, you should find it out for yourself. If I help you do everything, will you still need to take revenge by yourself?]
Tang Xi: “... That’s different...”
[There is nothing different about it. Anything concerning you and your mother is taken as revenge issues. You should improve your ability and take revenge by yourself...]
Tang Xi: “...” You useless system!
Tang Xi gave up communicating with 008, turned on her computer and began to make design drawings with with her stylus. After a while, she simply sat down with a pen and paper on the office floor and started drawing on the paper.
As soon as Tang Xi started drawing, she became immersed in it. Soon it had been two and a half hours before someone knocked on the door. Tang Xi looked up. Little Six opened the door only to see Tang Xi was sitting on the floor, with a pen in her mouth, a pen put above each ear and a pen in her hand. She really did look like... a crazy artist. He paused and said to Tang Xi, “Hello, Miss Tang. I’m here to take you to Madam’s house. I’ve arranged people to guard your mother at the hospital.”
Tang Xi remembered it was time for her to do acupuncture for Qiao Yuxin. She hurriedly put away the two design drawings, said “Just a minute” to Little Six, took photos of the drawings and sent the photos to Chu Ling.
