77: Release signal

Shao Shushuang took a taxi to the destination.

She personally owned an Audi A4, which her parents had purchased for her after she passed the exam for the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

However, the walk from where Shao Shushuang lived to her workplace only took about ten minutes.

Furthermore, she didn't like driving, so the Audi was always parked at home and rarely used.

Since today she was treating Chen Qiu to a meal as an apology and a sign of weakness, there was even less need to drive the Audi, which was meant for appearances.

Shao Shushuang arrived at the reserved private room 20 minutes early.

To prevent Chen Qiu from recalling the awkwardness of their last blind date, she specifically chose a Cantonese restaurant today.

Lejing Restaurant, a relatively well-known local Cantonese restaurant in Gannan.

With an average price of two to three hundred per person, in a city where the average monthly salary is just over three thousand yuan, this was definitely considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant!

This time, she didn't dare to give Chen Qiu a few choices to pick from; instead, she ordered all the signature dishes of the restaurant herself beforehand.

Asking a leader to order their own food when being treated to a meal, forcing them to speak up about such a minor matter, was a major taboo.

After Shao Shushuang instructed the waiter on the timing for serving the dishes, she went to the restaurant entrance 10 minutes early to wait.

A few minutes later.

She saw a mercedes-benz s-class slowly pull up.

The tall mature beautiful woman secretary Song Xiangtong got out of the driver's seat and opened the door for Chen Qiu.

Seeing this, Shao Shushuang immediately went forward to greet them.

"General Manager Chen."

She showed a gentle smile, and a barely noticeable unusual look appeared in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Qiu.

This was the third time she had seen Chen Qiu.

From arrogance the first time, to shock the second time... the interval was not long, and now her heart was filled only with admiration.

In Shao Shushuang's view, attaching oneself to a superior was nothing to be ashamed of!

Especially since this superior was a handsome young man only slightly older than her, and her former blind date partner!

Compared to girls who had to serve fat and greasy old men, her situation was already a dream start.

Chen Qiu was also slightly astonished looking at Shao Shushuang, who exuded an intellectual temperament.

This woman was completely different from her best friend, Zhang Mantong!

One was sexy and alluring, the other intellectual and steady.

At this moment, Song Xiangtong, who was beside them, proactively extended her hand to greet Shao Shushuang.

"Hello, Ms. Shao. I am General Manager Chen's Dedicated Secretary, Song Xiangtong."

"Hello, Secretary Song."

Shao Shushuang shook Song Xiangtong's hand, and a flicker of surprise, hard to detect beneath her glasses, flashed in her eyes.

Song Xiangtong was about the same height as her, with delicate features and a mature aura.

A standard Office Lady (OL) outfit on her strangely gave off the impression of a gentle, married woman wearing a uniform for seduction.

"Liu Qi, who was previously transferred to be Chen Qiu's Chief Secretary, was already pretty enough, and now there's another Song Xiangtong..."

A sense of crisis emerged in Shao Shushuang's heart.

After all, the prettier the women around Chen Qiu, the smaller her advantage would be.

"Let's go inside first."

After Chen Qiu spoke, the three of them entered the restaurant.

Shao Shushuang led Chen Qiu into the private room, then instructed the waiting attendant to prepare to serve the dishes.

Chen Qiu casually found a seat and sat down, while Shao Shushuang and Song Xiangtong sat on either side of him.

Before the dishes were served, Shao Shushuang proactively poured herself a small cup of liquor.

"Thank you, General Manager Chen, for not holding a grudge against this humble girl earlier."

"Shu Shuang felt that apologizing in person was appropriate, so I will first punish myself with three drinks!"

With that, Shao Shushuang raised her swan-like neck and drank three cups consecutively.

Her scholarly, fair face instantly became tinged with crimson.

Just as she was pouring another drink and raising her cup to speak, Chen Qiu reached out and stopped her.

"You Little Glutton, huh? You came up and started drinking all by yourself. Are you afraid we'll steal your liquor?"

Chen Qiu's joking remark made Shao Shushuang feel a little flustered.

"If General Manager Chen wants to enjoy himself, Shu Shuang will naturally keep him company..."

Saying this, she poured another cup for Chen Qiu.

Only after seeing Chen Qiu take a small sip did she finally relax.

Although he hadn't brought up the past incident, judging by Chen Qiu's relaxed attitude towards her, it seemed he had genuinely moved past it.

Shao Shushuang then took out the in-depth report she was responsible for compiling on investment promotion recently and handed it to Chen Qiu.

"General Manager Chen, this contains some summaries from my previous interactions with local intangible cultural heritage merchants, and some analyses regarding the investment promotion categories for the Cultural Industry Park."

Chen Qiu took the document and briefly flipped through a few pages.

Setting aside everything else, Shao Shushuang certainly possessed work capability.

Although there were some differences compared to the plan provided by the system, some of her analyses were quite noteworthy.

He handed the document to Song Xiangtong and spoke.

"Let's eat first."

A hint of regret flashed in Shao Shushuang's eyes.

She had put a lot of effort into summarizing this report over the past period, hoping it would impress Chen Qiu... However, she was confident in her work ability and knew she would prove herself eventually!

Today's more crucial objective was something else!

"Understood, General Manager Chen."

After speaking, Shao Shushuang sat down.

The straight-leg pants Shao Shushuang wore today were the type that narrowed to accentuate her curves.

When she sat on the leather chair, her perky buttocks would pull the already taut pants tighter and straighter!

While wrinkles formed between her thighs, the cuff of the pants, which normally fell just above her ankle, was pulled up to her calf by the smooth friction of her stockings.

The Stockings under pants hidden beneath the straight-leg pants would be clearly revealed!

This was the carefully designed little trick Shao Shushuang created based on the Secret Technique given by Teacher Miaoyin!

According to the Secret Technique, when pursuing a young, Domineering CEO, one absolutely must not dress too seductively!

Overt exhibitionism would only make one seem cheap and cause others to lose interest.

The sophisticated method is to start from one's own characteristics and create a sense of contrast!

Shao Shushuang's most outstanding characteristic was naturally her intellectual and scholarly temperament!

Almost everyone who saw her for the first time would assume she was a dignified and elegant teacher.

Shao Shushuang believed Chen Qiu should be no exception!

Under this stereotype, she, an intellectual and elegant female civil servant, had worn Stockings under pants when inviting her superior out to eat... The moment the Stockings under pants was subtly exposed, it created a sexually charged sense of contrast—a demure woman with hidden passion!

This was also simultaneously sending a signal to Chen Qiu!

A signal that she was outwardly cold but inwardly passionate, and could be pursued... This was Shao Shushuang's summary based on Teacher Miaoyin's Secret Technique.

Although she didn't fully understand much of the content, it didn't prevent her from implementing it.

To ensure Chen Qiu noticed her, she had deliberately chosen a seat near the door.

Every time the waiter served a dish, Chen Qiu's gaze would likely turn in her direction.

At that moment, she could expose her Stockings under pants in an extremely casual manner.

Subsequently, every time the waiter entered the room, Shao Shushuang's heart rate accelerated uncontrollably.

Her pretty face, already flushed pink from the white liquor, now gained an alluring shade of deep red.

Beneath the quietly lifted pant cuff, her calves, encased in Black Stockings, felt slightly numb and tingly.

As if anticipating the favor of Chen Qiu's gaze.

Since childhood, this was the first time she had used the alluring side of herself to attract a man, especially her current "superior" and former blind date partner.

This action alone caused continuous strange emotions to surge within Shao Shushuang.

When she realized Chen Qiu's gaze hadn't turned toward her side, Shao Shushuang felt a fresh wave of anxiety, frustration, and disappointment about her gains and losses.
