Just Wanted a Flirtatious Fling - Chapter 4

The email stated that they wanted to cooperate with Kaiwu, and hoped that Xie Sui would be the one in charge.

At this moment, the Operations Director came over to ask Zhao Shang how the matter regarding the interview was progressing.

Zhao Shang said with a smile: “Director, I have already contacted the people from their company. They said they are arranging a schedule for us and will notify us once there is news.”

The Director showed an appreciative expression: “Still the young people who are capable. Thank you for your hard work.”

Hearing them finish speaking, Xie Sui calmly withdrew his gaze.

Xie Sui clicked into his mailbox and typed out a line of text to reply.

[Someone else is more professional than me; you can contact my colleague at email address xxx.]

However, after Xie Sui sent it over, he never received a reply from the other party.

Seeing that the deadline was drawing closer and closer, and Zhao Shang was also leaving early and returning late all day, making him nowhere to be seen, Xie Sui assumed he had already successfully secured the interview. After running into him in the corridor on one occasion, Xie Sui, thinking about the project, casually asked a question.

“How is it? Is it going smoothly?”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhao Shang’s face suddenly changed color, and the gaze he directed at Xie Sui also turned unfriendly.

“What do you mean by that? Are you intentionally coming to look at my joke?”

Xie Sui was completely bewildered: “Do you have some kind of joke that requires me to come and look at?”

Zhao Shang: “Don’t always wear a look that looks down on people. A person like you is only able to stay in the company because you have a bit of capital.”

Xie Sui nodded: “What you said is the truth. This point, I admit.”

Zhao Shang gave him a dark look, brushed hard past his shoulder, and walked away.

Xie Sui staggered a little: “……”

What kind of person is this?

When Zhao Shang first entered the company, he was still very polite to Xie Sui and the others. Sometimes he would also come to ask Xie Sui questions, and Xie Sui had answered them all patiently.

Until one day, someone in the office jokingly said that he and Yan Shuzhi were partners and were also the only two shareholders in the company. After that, Zhao Shang’s gaze changed.

Not only did he stop coming to ask him questions like before, but he also always compared himself with him intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Sui had always felt that this kind of competitive, status-comparing mindset was the most boring thing. He had always turned a blind eye to it; as long as it didn’t bully its way onto his head, Xie Sui chose to overlook it.

To Xie Sui, nothing was more important than his own psychological state.

“If it really doesn’t work, we’ll just book Xian Qingshan of Xinghe Entertainment.”

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit heavy, mainly because of Zhao Shang’s slightly gloomy expression.

Xie Sui raised an eyebrow; it seemed it hadn’t succeeded.

“But I still think the one from Yiyuan Capital is better. If it succeeds, we will be the first media outlet.”

“But even Zhao Shang failed, which proves that this company of theirs simply doesn’t intend to accept public interviews.”

“How about changing to someone else to try again?”

Before the words had completely fallen, only a “smack” sound was heard. The person who spoke was caught unprepared and startled.

Zhao Shang was smiling, but there was no warmth at the bottom of his eyes: “Sister Ling, how about you go and give it a try?”

Sister Ling: “I’m just offering a suggestion. What if they suddenly accept it again by chance?”

Zhao Shang dismissed it: “Impossible.”

He had utilized how many connections back and forth to send invitations, and fierce, famous financial journalists had also stepped up, yet all of them were rejected. He didn’t think there was anyone who could manage to invite him.

“Why is it just impossible,” someone muttered in a small voice.

“Xie Sui, why don’t you go give it a try.”

At this moment, someone suddenly called out Xie Sui’s name. “Your public account follower count isn’t small, so you count as being slightly famous. Furthermore, your personal image is also good; maybe he would be willing.”

Zhao Shang said sarcastically: “Do you think this is children playing house? This is serious work, not a blind date or falling in love.”

The atmosphere fell somewhat cold.

“Xie Sui, what do you think? Or should we just directly decide on Xian Qingshan? This is also a figure that comes with his own topics,” Yan Shuzhi asked.

Xie Sui pondered for a moment, then nodded: “Let me go give it a try and see if I can make an appointment within these two days. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just directly decide on Xian Qingshan.”

Zhao Shang didn’t feel that Xie Sui would be able to pull it off, the look he gave him carrying a bit of mockery: “Then I wish Brother Xie Sui success.”

Xie Sui naturally heard that his words carried an underlying meaning, but to him, it possessed zero offensive power.

He let out an “un,” and subsequently stood up: “Then I’ll go ahead and prepare first.”

Returning to his office seat, Xie Sui found the email address he had replied to previously and asked if they still had spare time currently to accept an interview.

He originally thought he would have to wait for a period of time, but unexpectedly, not long after it was sent out, he received a reply.

“It is possible, Mr. Xie. Let us first schedule a time.”

What happened to it being hard to book?

Xie Sui even suspected whether Zhao Shang had somehow offended them.

The next morning, Xie Sui arrived at Yiyuan Capital five minutes ahead of schedule.

“Hello, do you have an appointment?”

Xie Sui said: “Yes, you can call me Xie Sui.”

“Alright, Mr. Xie. Your appointment is for 9:00 AM, correct?”

Xie Sui blinked his eyes: “That’s right. The pearl earrings today match your temperament exceptionally well.”

The receptionist was completely unmoved: “Thank you. I trust my own vision.”

Xie Sui was led to a conference room. “Mr. Xie, please wait a moment. President Jin will arrive shortly. These are the prepared pastries and water.”

Xie Sui smiled and nodded: “Alright, sorry to trouble you.”

At nine o’clock, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Xie Sui looked up, colliding with a pair of familiar eyes.

That pair of eyes was very deep, carrying a bit of a mixed-race flavor. It was the most distinctively flavorful one Xie Sui had seen up to now; it was impossible for him to forget it. Not to mention, this person had just turned him inside out and upside down, playing with him for an entire night a few days ago.

It turned out that the boss of Yiyuan Capital, about whom not a single shred of information could be found on the internet, was actually Jin Huaiqian.

Behind Jin Huaiqian, there was also a person following him. That person’s appearance was proper and upright, and under the wrapping of the suit, one could also tell his physique was not bad at all.

Xie Sui blew a whistle in his heart; this company’s handsome men and beautiful women were truly very easy on the eyes.

He spent one second accepting this reality, stood up, and extended his hand toward Jin Huaiqian: “Hello, President Jin. I am Xie Sui from Kaiwu Cultural Co., Ltd.”

Jin Huaiqian nodded, returning the handshake politely.

As the two hands parted, Xie Sui casually scratched his palm.

As if completely unaware, Jin Huaiqian walked to the seat in front, and pointed to the position beside him, signaling for Xie Sui to sit down.

The person on the side introduced himself: “Hello, I am President Jin’s assistant, Zhou Zheng.”

Xie Sui smiled: “A name that fits the person.” (Note: Zhou Zheng translates to proper/upright)

Jin Huaiqian said in a deep voice: “Let’s begin.”

Xie Sui turned on the voice recorder.

Outside the window was the bustling scenery of the CBD; inside the room was simple decor, along with two people pretending to be serious.

Jin Huaiqian wore a custom-tailored deep gray suit, the white shirt buttoned to the very top button, the tie done immaculately. The gaze behind the gold-rimmed glasses was calm and professional, looking like an entirely different person compared to that lazy and sexy man in the bar that night.

What a goddamned celibate, forbidden flavor.

Xie Sui pressed down the itchiness in his heart, flipped open his notebook, and opened with a courteous remark: “Thank you, President Jin, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accept the interview. This interview mainly wishes to invite you to share the story and philosophy of the enterprise. The first question is relatively conventional: May I ask how old you are, President Jin?”

Zhou Zheng looked toward his boss. This question?
