TVCEO Chapter 43.3

Yu Xiaoxiao was the only friend she had made at Baitian, and of course, she hoped that Yu Xiaoxiao could stay at Baitian as she wished. So she thought about it seriously, “But it seems that the CEO’s office doesn’t get involved in this.”

The CEO’s Office hadn’t hired an intern in eight hundred years. Even before Lin Qiao arrived, positions were filled through internal competition within the group, so there had never been a need for internal referrals.

“If the CEO’s Office doesn’t get involved, Mr. Su can definitely handle it.” Yu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly.

After she finished speaking, she realized that she was being a little too hasty, so she softened her tone and took Lin Qiao’s hand.

“Lin Qiao, you know how happy my parents were when they heard that I had joined Baitian. I really don’t want to disappoint them. You’ve been by Mr. Su’s side for so long, so you must know him better than I do. Could you please put in a good word for me?”

This…

Lin Qiao hesitated. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but such a small matter as an intern becoming a full-time employee would never escalate to the CEO’s level. If she really spoke to Su Zhengxing on Yu Xiaoxiao’s behalf, not to mention whether he would agree, even if he did, Yu Xiaoxiao would undoubtedly face criticism from others if the news became public.

Rumors are as ferocious as tigers. She knew how it felt to be the victim of rumors and gossip, so she didn’t want Yu Xiaoxiao to suffer the same fate. Furthermore, Yu Xiaoxiao was highly capable at work, and even without the internal recommendation, she had a good chance of staying. There was really no need to take the risk.

“Xiaoxiao, I think even without the internal recommendation, your abilities shouldn’t be a problem for you to be hired as a full-time employee. Don’t worry too much.” Lin Qiao said tactfully.

Hearing her rejection, Yu Xiaoxiao’s face stiffened, and resentment welled up in her heart. It seemed to her that Lin Qiao simply didn’t want to help. She had invested so much time in her, yet she wouldn’t even do such a small favor!

Yu Xiaoxiao’s expression turned cold, and she gave a lukewarm ‘hmm’.

While making coffee in the break room during her afternoon shift, Lin Qiao unexpectedly received a message from Shen Ruxing. She said that she would be coming to Beijing to study next Saturday and wanted to treat Lin Qiao and Su Zhengxing to a meal to thank them for taking care of her in England. She wondered if they would have time.

Next Saturday? Isn’t that Valentine’s Day?

Lin Qiao was about to say she didn’t have time, but then she thought that they had already bumped into each other three times in just two days abroad, so if Shen Ruxing came to Beijing, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t run into each other. Rather than letting them bump into her and catch her off guard, she should take the initiative and eliminate any possibility of them meeting.

Thinking this, Lin Qiao typed on her phone: [Okay, Sister Shen. I felt a little sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye to you last time because of the accident in England. I’ve been looking for pictures of the artwork you told me about since I got back. It’s so wonderful to be able to have dinner and chat with you! It’s just that Mr. Su has other plans on Saturday and might not be able to come. You wouldn’t mind if it was just me, would you? [Cute wink]]

Lin Qiao chatted while thinking: As long as you’re with me on Valentine’s Day, even if you two run into each other by chance, I can still break you two up.

Shen Ruxing was indeed very receptive to this and replied in no time: [Of course not. I’ll send you the address. [heart emoji]]

The operation was a success. Lin Qiao sent a voice message to Shen Ruxing in a high-pitched voice: [Then see you at MEET restaurant next Saturday night. Don’t be late!]

Her soft, sweet voice reached Su Zhengxing, who was passing by the tea room. Just feet away, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, and his hand, hidden in the pocket of his long, straight legs, tightened unconsciously.

It is her right to choose who she eats with and who she meets up with; he has no right to interfere.

Su Zhengxing reminded himself over and over again, and upon returning to the office, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the calendar on his computer.

Valentine’s Day?

It was actually Valentine’s Day that day?

Instantly, even the coffee in his cup turned sour.
