Chapter 182 Who is compensating whom?
"We will open for business soon. Sign this document. I just got it from A Lin and it is still warm!" Chen Xi raised the document bag in his hand .
After the two came to the office and sat down, they began to read each document carefully.
“I’m a good boy, Alin and the others are really good, and they have obtained the qualifications. The subsequent branch schools can be opened directly, and they only need a little review.” Matthew looked at the things on the paper. Face sighs.
“Well, these people are pretty reliable. It’s up to you to teach. We’ve done everything we can. You don’t have to worry about funding. Just do your job well. If there is a shortage of manpower, we will recruit more teachers.”
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Matthew made a solemn promise and signed his name on the document.
A week later, in the Sihai office building.
"Xia Lian, are you satisfied with this working environment?"
Chen Xi pointed to a small room next to the manager's office on the second floor.
This room is quite spacious, equipped with all the necessary office equipment, and even potted plants are placed, adding a touch of life to the interior.
This is several times larger than Xia Lian's room, it's like a luxurious office.
Xia Lian felt a little flattered. She lowered her head at a loss, almost burying her head in her chest.
Faced with such treatment, she felt both happy and uneasy.
"Thank you, Chen Xi." Xia Lian's voice revealed deep gratitude.
Since coming to Tu'ao, the only person in her life who really cares about her is Xiaoqian, and now, Chen Xi's appearance makes her feel more warmth.
Due to family conditions, Xia Lian has always been burdened with low self-esteem.
She felt that there was an insurmountable gap between herself and ordinary international students, and she did not even dare to make friends easily for fear of being looked down upon.
In such a strange country, she often felt lonely and helpless.
However, Chen Xi's care and help made her feel that she was not alone.
"Work hard and don't think too much about other things." Chen Xi touched the other person's head distressedly.
"What the hell, what's going on with this guy? There's another woman."
"Yeah, I don't think I've seen this woman before."
"Hey , Why am I not so lucky? Why is this guy surrounded by beautiful women?”
“This girl is quite beautiful, but she wraps herself up very tightly. Look at her thin legs and no makeup on her face. , but still very beautiful..."
In the boss's office, Dongdong and Xiao Ming observed the situation outside through the gap in the curtains, and kept discussing Xia Lian.
"Okay, you two, come out!" Chen Xi shouted to the manager's office.
He had long noticed the sneaky behavior of these two guys, and their actions were extremely embarrassing.
Dongdong and Xiao Ming seemed to think that their actions were unnoticed, and they did not realize that their actions had already been seen by others.
“This is Xiao Ming, the boss of Sihai, and this is Dongdong, a company opened by the three of us.”
"Hello, I'm Xia Lian."
"Hello, hello."
"Where are you a student?"
"Mo University."< br>
“Wow, that’s a good study! The company has another talent, I’ll treat you to dinner later!”
Several people introduced each other.
Since Dongdong became a man in Richmond last time, he no longer feels shy when facing girls. He feels like a different person. It can be said that he has changed from a social fear of women to a social bully. .
"Well...there's no need to spend money. I'll just go back and order some noodles myself in the evening." Xia Lian quickly waved her hand and said, Chen Xi had already arranged work for her, and she wanted the boss to treat her to dinner. How could she be embarrassed? Woolen cloth.
"It's okay, let's go together." Chen Xi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xia Lian could only nod her head obediently.
"Your job is to deal with customer problems, classify the orders you receive, and be my secretary when the time comes."
During dinner in the evening, Chen Xi explained the matter.
“What the hell, secretary? Neither of us have a secretary. No, we have to hire one.”
“Get out, it’s a waste of money. Xia Lian’s main job is to deal with other things. Things."
Chen Xi glared at the two of them.
"The hourly wage is twenty, and the travel expenses will be reimbursed. I will arrange a place for you to stay as an employee."
"No, it's too much. The place where I work only costs less than ten yuan. You I don’t need to pay too much. I don’t need accommodation. The place where I live is pretty good, and I have Xiaoqian with me. I can take the bus for travel expenses, and it won’t cost much to walk a little further.”
Xia Lian quickly waved her hand and refused.
"Just listen to me, don't refuse anymore." Chen Xi said forcefully, and put a piece of meat into Xia Lian's bowl.
At the dinner table, Xia Lian didn't dare to pick up the vegetables, and all she ate was rice.
Xiao Ming and Dongdong originally thought that the other party was on a diet to lose weight, but when they saw Chen Xi constantly picking up vegetables for Xia Lian, they were so surprised that their eyes almost dropped.
The two of them were simply teasing Chen Xi before, but the scene in front of them made them realize that the relationship between the two seemed really unusual.
Xia Lian lowered her head and ate from the bowl. Her brain was completely blank now. She felt extremely complicated. Even she didn't know whether staying in Sihai to work was the right choice.
"Let me take you back."
After dinner, Chen Xi proposed to take Xia Lian back.
"No, I'll just take the bus."
"Okay, be obedient."
Chen Xi pulled her arm, and in the shocked eyes of Dongdong and Xiao Ming, Put Xia Lian into the car.
"Brother Xi is still good at playing, Shazhi, Shen Xinyi, now there is Xia Lian, who will be next?"
"Damn, I can't stand it anymore, I We must capture Zhang Ruoxi quickly.”
There was envy in their eyes. "Chen Xi, you don't have to be so nice to me. What happened that day was my fault, and I should be the one to compensate."
"Okay, just stop talking. It makes me look like a woman."
"I...I didn't mean it...I'm sorry, I'm really not good at talking." Xia Lian stammered and apologized, turning to look out the window. Trying to hide his panic.
In the night, the car was speeding on the road, and the surrounding buildings kept flashing in sight.
At this moment, Xia Lian felt extremely confused. She lacked experience in love and had no idea how to get along with a boy, especially now that they were already in a relationship, but they were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
What was most difficult for her to accept was that she had taken the initiative to cause all of this, which made her feel very despicable.
Moreover, the other party arranged a job for her afterwards, which made her feel like a sugar daddy, and suddenly she felt that the situation was no different from Xiaoqian's situation. She didn't know how to face all this, and her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
Chen Xi held the steering wheel with mixed feelings in his heart.
He himself couldn't explain why he was so nice to Xia Lian. He just felt that the other party was a little pitiful and that the two of them had already had a relationship.
Although it was Xia Lian who took the initiative, seeing how difficult her life was, Chen Xi couldn't help but want to lend a helping hand.
His heart is full of complex emotions, including sympathy and concern for Xia Lian, but also confusion and confusion about his own behavior.
"Go back, I'm going in."
"Yes."
At the door of the dilapidated apartment, Chen Xi saw Xia Lian's uneasy look. , and immediately understood that she was probably embarrassed because of the embarrassing living environment.
People have self-respect, and he didn't want to hurt Xia Lian, so he didn't choose to go in, but gave the other party enough respect and space.
After the two said goodbye, the black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove away and gradually disappeared under the reflection of the street lights.
Xia Lian watched Chen Xi's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
She opened the door, walked into the narrow and crude room, sat on the bed, and hugged her legs tightly.
After a while, Xiaoqian came over and hugged Xia Lian into her arms.
Since the last incident, Xiaoqian also understood the truth of the matter.
Bobby's betrayal by that scumbag made her deeply hurt. At the same time, she also felt guilty for the excessive words she had said to Xia Lian before.
The two girls cuddled up against each other in this small apartment, sharing each other's thoughts.
Their conversation naturally turned to Xia Lian's new job, and then they started talking about Chen Xi.
In this silent night, the two girls' spiritual communication brought warmth and comfort to each other.
On this day, Chen Xi sat in front of the computer and wrote the paper intently.
Since the beginning of the new semester, he found that he was writing papers much faster than before.
When he typed the last character, his body seemed to release a light force.
Stretched and let out a long breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
"It's time for a short vacation. Zhang Ruoxi invited us to Lake Entrance." Dongdong walked over and said excitedly.
"Oh, then go ahead." Chen Xi lit up a cigarette and shrugged.
"Of course we are going together. Didn't we agree last time? They even asked you to bring yarn with you!"
"Hehe." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Chen Xi thought for a while and found that he seemed to have promised Zhang Ruoxi last time. He usually does what he promised to others. After thinking about it, he nodded.
“You guys need to assist me this time, let me take down Ruoxi.”
"No problem."
"You need help when you fall in love. It's so funny."
Xiao Ming teased Dongdong from the side, and he was immediately punched in the body, which hurt him. Wow wow wow.
Lake Entrance is known as a paradise for crab fishing. It is located about 300 kilometers east of Mo Village. If you drive from Mo Village, it takes about 4 hours.
Due to its unique geographical environment, this so-called "attraction" has become a popular place for sea fishing and crab fishing, attracting a large number of tourists every year.
Now is the best season for crab fishing in Tu'ao. The crabs here are delicious and plentiful. Crab fishermen can often easily return home with a full load.
Chen Xi used to come here almost every year to enjoy crab fishing.
"Hey, honey, want to go to Lake Entrance? Catch crabs."
Chen Xi quickly dialed Shazhi's phone number.
"Let me think about it, I have been very busy recently." Saori is making desserts at home at this time. In order to be busy with opening a store, she is currently making various plans.
"Then I'll go with them!" Chen Xi smiled mischievously.
"Wait, who are you going with?"
"Dongdong and Xiao Ming, oh, by the way, there are also Shen Xinyi and Zhang Ruoxi. They specifically asked me to call you. .”
“Ah? Go, go, I’m going.”
“Baby, didn’t you just say you were busy?”
"If I'm not busy, I'll go even if I'm busy. I've long wanted to go on a trip." When Shazhi heard the words "Shen Xinyi", her alertness immediately increased, and the dessert on the table immediately became unsavoury. .
Get up quickly, ran straight into the room, opened the closet, and eagerly searched for clothes suitable for bringing to the meeting.
Her eyes quickly passed over the various clothes, weighing in her mind which ones could show her charm better.
"Well, I'll pick you up then!"
"Well, I love you Mua~"
Shaori blew a long-distance kiss directly, then quickly hung up the phone and rushed to Nana's house happily.
"Haha." Chen Xi put down the phone and felt a little funny, but he quickly lowered his head again.
My relationship with Shen Xinyi has already been misunderstood. Now that there is another Xia Lian, what should I do?
