149: Chapter 149 Are these people blind, or blind to their own hearts? Who's really in charge of this company?

"Huh?"

Qin Xun was startled. "The two of them are about to fight?"

He saw Cheng Wan nod solemnly.

He hurried out of the office with quick steps, afraid of being even a moment late.

"I have to hurry and take a look. I hope they haven't finished fighting by the time I get there."

Cheng Wan followed behind him.

"Yes, we must stop them."

Qin Xun nodded without speaking, but his heart felt differently.

Would someone with Xia Ning's temperament actually get into a fight?

Just thinking about it was a little exciting!

He had to hurry over and catch a glimpse.

As Qin Xun emerged from the General Manager's office, he saw a new office partitioned off in the farthest corner of the company's open workspace.

He strode through the long corridor toward it.

Along the way...

Colleagues rose from their workstations one after another to greet him.

"Hello, President Qin!"

"Good morning, President Qin!"

"President Qin, you're back!"

...

Qin Xun looked at the beaming faces, smiling and nodding continuously in acknowledgment.

What he didn't know was...

Besides Cheng Wan, Niu Xiaojun was also following behind him.

Niu Xiaojun walked with her short legs, struggling a bit to keep up with Cheng Wan. She saw the employees under her command standing up one by one to give greetings.

Each one wore a smile, their voices sincere and respectful.

But every single one of them was shouting...

"Hello, President Qin!"

Her expression soured.

Dammit!

Are these people blind, or have they lost their minds?

Who exactly is the boss of this company?

Is the world turning upside down?!

Niu Xiaojun thought Qin Xun was too tall and was blocking everyone's view, so she moved her short legs rapidly, jogging ahead of him.

She walked with her head held high and chest puffed out, looking straight ahead, but using her peripheral vision to observe her colleagues' actions.

However...

Those people actually sat back down one after another, saying nothing, and bowed their heads to pretend they were working diligently.

Niu Xiaojun: "..."

Never mind!

It must be that my aura is too powerful and I've intimidated them.

Soon.

The group arrived at the door of the Deputy General Manager's office.

Niu Xiaojun pushed the door open.

Inside, Xia Ning was staring down a beautiful woman with voluminous, wavy hair.

They stared at each other in silence.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The woman with the wavy hair turned her head, her eyes lighting up with joy as a smile spread across her face.

"Good morning, President Qin!"

Niu Xiaojun: "..."

I'm clearly standing right in front of Qin Xun; am I still going to be ignored like this?

She was just about to retreat silently to the side to avoid further embarrassment.

Suddenly, she heard Xia Ning call out.

"Good morning, President Niu!"

Niu Xiaojun's eyes brightened, and she was so moved she almost cried.

Ningning!

You really are one of my own!

Finally, someone gave me some face!

Qin Xun stood at the door, his gaze passing over the top of Niu Xiaojun's head to look at the two women in the room.

Xia Ning was wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and black high heels.

And Mi Xier was wearing the exact same shirt, trousers, and shoes.

They were wearing the same outfit!

Seeing that the two hadn't actually come to blows, Qin Xun felt a bit disappointed.

"I heard you two were arguing and almost got physical?"

Xia Ning glanced at Cheng Wan, then her gaze landed on Qin Xun before she turned back to her desk to organize documents.

Qin Xun looked at Mi Xier.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Mi Xier's eyes immediately turned red.

"I arrived at the company at eight-thirty today. After explaining my reason to the Oak Company receptionist, I was led here to Sister Cheng Wan."

"Sister Cheng Wan asked about the situation and told me to wait in your office, President Qin."

"I was bored waiting in the office."

"I thought that since I'm going to be your secretary anyway, I might as well get into the role early. So, I started wiping the table and chairs and watering the potted plants."

Qin Xun nodded.

"Hmm, you did well!"

Mi Xier stole a timid glance at Xia Ning.

"later, while I was kneeling on the sofa to wipe it down, Sister Xia Ning came in."

"She looked at me and said that the person you recruited, President Qin, was an assistant, not a call girl, and told me to go home and change my clothes before coming back."

As soon as those words were spoken...

The office fell silent.

Niu Xiaojun's eyes widened as she stared at Xia Ning.

She had grown up with Xia Ning and never knew she could speak so fiercely.

Although Xia Ning seemed cold and aloof, she was actually excessively gentle.

How could she say something like that?

Cheng Wan's expression changed slightly. She stepped into the office and quietly closed the door.

She wanted to prevent the rest of the office from overhearing this juicy gossip.

But she intended to enjoy this gossip herself.

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, then at Mi Xier.

His gaze moved back and forth between the two, looking them up and down. He observed that aside from their hairstyles, their shirts, trousers, and shoes were indeed identical!

Finally, Qin Xun's gaze settled on Xia Ning's icy face.

"Xiao Xia, uh... aren't you two dressed exactly the same?"

Hearing this, Xia Ning felt a tightness in her chest.

They say that wearing the same outfit isn't scary; it's whoever looks uglier who should be embarrassed.

She was confident she was much better looking than Mi Xier.

But she also had to admit that Mi Xier wasn't bad-looking either.

What was even more infuriating...

Was the innate coquettishness Mi Xier exuded, which gave this professional outfit—which should have been crisp and capable—a certain tawdry air.

Thinking back to the scene she saw when she first entered the office, Xia Ning became even angrier.

At that time, she had pushed open the door.

And saw Mi Xier with her back to the door, kneeling on the sofa and wiping it with a cloth.

Her movements were forceful and quite large in scale.

She had taken off her high heels, and her feet were clad in ultra-thin, slightly sheer black stockings.

Her ten toes were slightly curled.

What also came into view was a rounded, perky bottom, swaying slightly from side to side.

From the way the fabric clung to her skin, it was clear Mi Xier was wearing either seamless underwear or a thong.

It was incredibly seductive!

Back then, when the door opened...

Mi Xier, still kneeling on the sofa, had turned her head toward the door in a seemingly natural way.

Because the movement was so exaggerated...

A button on her shirt had popped open, revealing a pink lace bra.

Xia Ning had clearly seen the flash of disappointment in the depths of Mi Xier's eyes when she realized the person entering was her.

She sneered inwardly.

Ultra-thin stockings.

Curled toes.

A swaying bottom.

Provocative underwear.

A popped button.

A pink lace bra.

Every single one of these details was calculated; every one of them was a scheme.

Wasn't this just an attempt to seduce Qin Xun?

Then why did she act so pure at the hotel the night before last?

Xia Ning had given Mi Xier a cold look and uttered those hurtful words.

"Mi Xier, you need to recognize your place."

"You are an assistant, not a call girl. Go back and change your clothes before coming again."

"While at work, you either behave yourself, or... get out."

...

Xia Ning looked up, not answering his question, and looked at Mi Xier again.

She saw her standing obediently to the side with her head bowed, her wavy hair covering half her face as she lightly bit her lip.

She let out a cold snort.

An Ke was a closeted flirt.

This one was an overt hussy!

Xia Ning finished organizing a document with both hands.

She stood up and walked toward the door, looking at Niu Xiaojun as she spoke with deep meaning.

"President Niu, shall I go to your office to report on President Qin's and my itinerary in Flower City over the past few days?"
