Tong Yan was dumbfounded . He looked from that woman to their president, feeling like he had just taken a blow to the head .
“Tong Yan . ” The sound of fingers tapping the table startled him and brought him back to reality . He replied in a hurry, “Yes!”
“I’ve called your name three times . Where did your mind wander off to…” Sheng Yize said in resignation . “I’ve signed it . There you go . ”
Wow, that went so well!
Their president had a habit of offering sarcastic comments with an icy tone and took pleasure in shattering other people’s confidence . Why was he so nice today?
“Yes . ” Tong Yan took the file and left the office, still finding what had just happened unbelievable .
Who on earth was that woman? Their president’s wife? Girlfriend? Or something else?
He couldn’t help but ask the special assistant curiously, “Mr . Jiang, what’s the relationship between that woman and our president?”
Jiang was baffled . “Huh, don’t you ever watch the news?”
Tong Yan was at a loss . “What does watching the news have anything to do with that?”
Jiang grinned . “It doesn’t . Take a wild guess who she is, then . ”
“Is their relationship aboveboard or a secretive one?” Tong Yan asked seriously .
The corner of Jiang’s mouth twitched and he decided to hoax Tong Yan . “It’s quite secretive . ”
Tong Yan looked thoroughly disgusted . “Gosh! I never knew our president was this type of man! Not only is he into the vulnerable type, he won’t even recognize her officially!”
Fighting back his laughter, Jiang feigned a secretive voice and said, “I’ll let you in on another secret . That woman is already a mother of two kids . ”

Tong Yan pounded his chest and stomped his foot, feeling genuinely sorry for An Xiaxia .
That afternoon, when Sheng Yize went to the reception room to discuss a project, Tong Yan went to his office to deliver some files . Seeing that An Xiaxia was alone in the room, he summoned up his courage and talked to her . “Hello . ”
“Oh, hi . ” An Xiaxia greeted him immediately .
After much hesitation, Tong Yan said, “It’s not right for you to be with Mr . Sheng like this!”
An Xiaxia was taken aback by those words . “Huh? I – I’m sorry…”
She thought that Tong Yan was referring to her attitude — while everyone else was busy with their tasks, she was practically on vacation .
Tong Yan sighed . “Good, you can see that this isn’t right . The sooner you wake up, the more likely you’ll find happiness!”
“Yes! I see that now!” An Xiaxia nodded repeatedly . She decided to keep herself busy, instead of sitting there snacking and playing games .
They had no idea that they were talking about two completely different things . Once Tong Yan was gone, An Xiaxia rested her chin on her hand, racking her brain to try and find a way to help Sheng Yize .
Sheng Yize had left his phone on the table, which buzzed at that moment .
Was someone trying to reach him?
An Xiaxia picked it up, typed in the password, which was her birthday, and saw that it was a friend request on WeChat .
“Mr . Sheng, this is Miya from Xinyue Group!”
An Xiaxia had heard about this woman before . She was the president of Xinyue Group, a very tough gal and a lofty beauty .
An Xiaxia accepted the request and Miya soon sent a message .
“Mr . Sheng, have you made up your mind yet?”
Wait? Made up his mind on what? A collaboration?
An Xiaxia had yet to figure out how to reply when Miya typed another message . “You know perfectly well that this is the best choice for both of us . ”
“I’m sorry, but he’s not available at the moment . I’ll tell him to get back to you later,” An Xiaxia replied . But her connection happened to drop out at that moment, which didn’t recover until two minutes later .
Her reply was only sent out then, but before that, Miya sent another message .
“Come to Yuan Hotel tonight . You can have me, and the project . ”
