51: Chapter 51 She seems aloof, but when she strikes, she's quick, accurate, and ruthless!

Xia Ning: "!!!"

She widened her eyes, staring at Qin Xun in disbelief. Seeing his fearless expression, a wave of anger washed over her.

She looked around, quickly pulled a gel pen from the pen holder on the desk, and took off the cap.

She pointed the pen tip at Qin Xun.

Xia Ning looked at him coldly, without saying a word, but her face gradually turned red.

Qin Xun looked at her, was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, saying word by word, very slowly.

"Mur—der—"

Xia Ning knew he was about to spit out the words "my husband," so she quickly dropped the pen and reached out to cover Qin Xun's mouth.

"You... shut up!"

The voice was very loud!

All thirty-something people in the company looked over, their faces full of surprise.

Xia Ning: "..."

Feeling the surrounding gazes, she slowly lowered her hand, turned her head away, no longer looking at Qin Xun, and said in a cold, quiet voice.

"I must have owed you in my past life."

...

10:00 AM.

A meeting titled "Wedding Singer Viral Marketing Proposal" was held.

Everyone in the company except the General Manager attended.

The thirty-something people sat in five rows.

Xia Ning sat in the back corner, where the surveillance camera could not see, head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

And at the podium in the front, Qin Xun was beaming.

"Hello everyone at Oak Tree!"

The response from below was uniform.

"Hello!"

Qin Xun picked up the laser pointer and circled the word "Wedding" on the projection screen.

"Everyone should know that the company has taken on a job to help a wealthy young singer go viral, and this is my proposal."

"The setting is a wedding."

"We need to set up a fake wedding scene and need the cooperation of all our colleagues."

The nominal General Manager, Niu Xiaojun, was not there, so the atmosphere of the company meeting was relaxed.

Plus, Qin Xun was the company's star, already a manager-in-training. At this rate, he would be the second-in-command in less than half a year.

Many people were willing to suck up to Qin Xun.

Cheers erupted from below.

"Great!"

"We'll definitely cooperate!"

"If Supervisor Qin says go east, I definitely won't go west."

"..."

At this moment, a loud, masculine voice stood out.

"Should we pick a fair-skinned and beautiful girl from our Finance Department to play the bride?"

Immediately after, bursts of shy, feminine voices rang out.

"How embarrassing!"

"Oh my! Brother Wang, what are you doing?"

"Most of us are already married!"

"Get married again?"

"That works too!"

...

Listening to this discussion.

Bursts of laughter erupted in the conference room.

Xia Ning kept her head down, not daring to look up, holding a pen and scribbling randomly on her notebook, like a tangled mess.

"Ladies, it's a pity."

"To save costs for the company, we didn't hire models; we are using company staff to act as the newlyweds."

"I am the groom, but I'm already taken!"

Qin Xun laughed twice and pressed the page-turner.

The PPT flipped to the next page, and a photo appeared on the projection screen.

This was the one Qin Xun had asked Xia Ning to pay 300 yuan to expedite yesterday, and the digital negative was emailed this morning.

The entire conference room suddenly went quiet.

What met everyone's eyes was a wedding photo.

Under the night sky.

The groom in a suit and tie.

The bride in a white wedding dress.

The two newlyweds stood in front of a glistening fountain, reaching up to form a "heart" shape above their heads.

The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful.

It was none other than Qin Xun and Xia Ning.

Gradually, a sound of gasping echoed in the conference room.

Thirty-something people stared blankly at Qin Xun on the podium.

Each with their own thoughts.

Good heavens!

It's only been a few days, you kid move fast, huh?

Got her pregnant?

The most beautiful woman in the whole company, married so young?

No wonder this guy is so capable and doesn't want to jump ship; it turns out he had an ulterior motive—seeking wealth and beauty!

After a while.

The thirty-something people all turned their heads to look at Xia Ning in the corner.

Xia Ning was looking down, her expression unclear.

But her usually snow-white, jade-like ears were completely red!

The girls in the company had complicated expressions, especially the unmarried ones, who were even more jealous.

Men might not understand!

But how could women not understand?

A wedding photo.

Even if it's just pretending to be a couple, if the guy doesn't hold a certain weight in the woman's heart, she would never agree to fake it.

This Xia Ning, she usually looks aloof.

Turns out she strikes fast, accurately, and ruthlessly!

Qin Xun glanced at Xia Ning, who was looking down; those ears were like azaleas in the mountains, very beautiful.

He couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart, remembering a line of poetry.

"The gentleness of that lowered head"

"Like a water lily shyly bowing to the cool breeze."

Cheng Wan looked at Xia Ning for a while, a motherly smile appearing on her face.

Most people in the company definitely think Qin Xun is hitting on her.

Only she knows that this is clearly the President taking control of the young hunk!

Giving Qin Xun a promotion, a raise, and building an independent office.

And now pretending to be a married couple?

What a great tactic!

Cheng Wan turned her head to look at Qin Xun, her smile widening, and she praised him.

"This wedding photo is so beautiful, it's the best one I've ever seen in my life, a hundred times better than my nephew's who is getting married next weekend."

Laughter erupted in the conference room.

Suddenly!

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

He looked at Cheng Wan and asked hurriedly.

"Sister Wan, are you on good terms with your nephew?"

Cheng Wan: "..."

What a question!

He's my nephew, how could it not be good?

She replied.

"Very good!"

Qin Xun beamed, looking at Cheng Wan, and said.

"Sister Wan, I've thought of a good idea."

"Since your nephew is getting married, we have a ready-made venue, so we don't need to waste money booking a hotel, holding a banquet, finding a wedding planner, or hiring extras."

"We can just bring money to attend the banquet, is that okay?"

"This can save the company a large sum of money!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone suddenly realized, looking at Qin Xun and nodding one after another.

They thought this kid was really too shrewd!

The higher the net profit of a job, the more the bonus will be.

What is saved is what is earned.

Just as Cheng Wan thought this was a brilliant idea—it could save money and also bring a large wave of red envelopes to her nephew—and was about to nod and agree.

Suddenly!

A voice came from the corner, Xia Ning's voice, not quiet, a bit urgent.

"Then wouldn't our wedding photos have been taken for nothing?"

Cheng Wan was startled and turned to look.

She saw Xia Ning had lifted her head, the expression on her face was a bit... angry?

The thirty-something colleagues all looked over.

Qin Xun also looked at Xia Ning from afar, completely confused.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xia Ning suddenly felt she had been a bit uncomposed, pursed her lips, and said with feigned calmness.

"I mean... these wedding photos, they cost 3800 yuan to take."

"If we don't use them, then..."

She looked at Qin Xun.

"Then can we not get reimbursed for this?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xun's expression changed, and he looked at Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan was the Human Resources and Administrative Manager, and she had the authority to decide whether it could be reimbursed.

Cheng Wan smiled.

"Reimbursed!"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"It can be reimbursed!"

Cheng Wan's voice was very loud.

The President's wedding photos, not reimburse them? Do I still want to keep my job?

Qin Xun let out a sigh of relief.

In the corner.

Xia Ning was stunned for a while, her mood complex; she felt a bit of regret, but also relieved.

The regret was that, in the end, she couldn't leave her mark on Qin Xun's proposal.

She also felt relieved that she didn't have to walk the red carpet with him in public.

In the end, her heart was conflicted, and there was even a faint trace of loss?

As if she had lost something?
