Checking the time, it was almost noon. too lazy to go back for lunch, he casually found a restaurant.
As soon as he entered, a beautiful woman waved at him.
Xiao Xun turned to look behind him, confirming she was calling him. "You're calling me?"
The beautiful woman sized up Xiao Xun. "I thought I'd mistaken you for someone else. It really is you!"
Xiao Xun found the beauty in front of him familiar but couldn't recall where he'd met her. "Where have we met?"
"President Xiao, you really do forget easily. I used to be President Wang's secretary."
Xiao Xun realized upon hearing her words. "Wang Sucheng's secretary? You said 'used to be,' so you're not at Saint Roman anymore?"
Lu Wenshan nodded. "Recently, the CEO of Longtan Group sent some investigation team. The team leader is President Wang's former secretary. Without a word, she fired me first. I was just unlucky."
Just then, a waiter approached. "Sir, what would you like to eat?"
Xiao Xun flipped through the menu. "I'll have the braised beef noodle set B, and add one yuan for a large Coke."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Xiao Xun looked around, finally settling his gaze on Lu Wenshan. "Where are you working now?"
"Working where! It's so hard to find a job now. I'm still sending out resumes. President Xiao, if you have any good projects, think of me!" As she spoke, she gave Xiao Xun a flirtatious glance.
Lu Wenshan and Secretary Fan were beauties of different temperaments. At Saint Roman, from supervisors to employees, almost no one hadn't harbored impure thoughts towards Lu Wenshan.
Especially Lu Wenshan's aura and demeanor, which made her seem as if she were made of water. A woman with an innate allure, captivating to her very bones, capable of stirring countless wicked thoughts in any man who looked at her.
With Lu Wenshan's coy glance and smile, her beauty bloomed like a vibrant flower. Countless male customers immediately cast fiery glances her way, and the subtle sound of swallowed saliva could be heard.
"President Xiao, can you do me a small favor?" Lu Wenshan said softly to Xiao Xun.
"En, tell me!"
Xiao Xun drank his water and caught his breath. He wanted to hear what Lu Wenshan needed his help with.
"Are you free this afternoon? If you are, come with me to do something!" Lu Wenshan said to Xiao Xun with a smile.
"What is it!" Xiao Xun immediately sensed this wasn't a good thing and showed a wary expression.
"My mom told me something last night. She said..."
"Stop!!!"
Xiao Xun immediately stopped Lu Wenshan from continuing and then pondered deeply. "Let me guess. What do parents usually talk to their daughters about? Eighty percent chance it's about a blind date, right?"
"How did you know?" Lu Wenshan looked at Xiao Xun in surprise.
"Look at yourself, how old are you? It's no wonder your parents are anxious! Ai, some people worry about not getting married. You, on the other hand, have people lining up from abroad wanting to marry you. You're still unhurried. It's no wonder your parents are anxious."
"So, will you help me?" Lu Wenshan replied with a smile, blinking her bright, large eyes, looking incredibly alluring.
"You're going to do such a cliché thing? Use me as a cover to fool your parents by pretending to be your boyfriend? Isn't that childish?" Xiao Xun immediately shook his head and refused.
"I know it's childish, but I..." Lu Wenshan looked at Xiao Xun deeply.
"Beautiful lady, I can't do this. You know, I'm a married man. If Madam Mu finds out, she'll skin me alive."
"Then don't go back. Let this humble woman yield to you then!" Lu Wenshan immediately threw a flirtatious glance at Xiao Xun, incredibly potent.
"Heh, I don't have that kind of luck, no that kind of luck!" Xiao Xun repeatedly shook his head.
"Hey, I've said this much, are you going to help or not!" Lu Wenshan got angry.
"However, I'm afraid that if I'm so handsome, your parents might be extremely pleased and force you to marry me?" Xiao Xun said with a thick skin.
"You really are..." Lu Wenshan truly didn't know. Sometimes, when a person's skin is thick enough, it can truly be called invincible.
"Alright, alright, I'll help you. But if I help you, you have to help me too."
"Deal, that's fair!" Lu Wenshan gave another devastatingly charming smile.
Soon, the food arrived. Xiao Xun took a bite, and hmm!? The taste was surprisingly good. He quickly devoured it without regard for his image.
Lu Wenshan across from him was stunned. "President Xiao, does Madam Mu not feed you at home?"
After the meal, Lu Wenshan very politely paid the bill. Xiao Xun originally thought that since she had just lost her job, and it was partly because of him, he should pay for this meal. But Lu Wenshan was quick, and Xiao Xun didn't insist further, as insisting too much would seem pretentious.
Lu Wenshan didn't have a car. Xiao Xun drove his red convertible sports car, taking the beautiful Lu Wenshan away with flair.
Following Lu Wenshan's directions, Xiao Xun arrived at a shopping mall. He thought the agreed meeting place was inside the mall, but unexpectedly, Lu Wenshan led him into a clothing store, a high-end men's fashion store at that.
"Why? Are you buying me clothes?"
"Yes! You have to dress well when meeting future in-laws to show respect!"
At this moment, she was captivated by the dazzling array of clothes in the store, as if she were accustomed to shopping in such places. She quickly began to select items. At the same time, she asked, "It's just a piece of clothing, why are you being so polite to me? I've chosen it for you. Hmm, why are the clothes this year so cheap."
Xiao Xun heard this was a high-end store. He walked over to look. "Oh, cheap, cheap. Over two thousand yuan for a set, and you call it cheap. Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover."
Xiao Xun never had the habit of indulging himself. His most expensive clothes were bought by Mu Jiahe for him, and he hadn't worn them since it got cold. Although Xiao Xun was now worth over a billion, he never paid attention to clothes, wearing whatever was comfortable. His clothes were basically the same as before. Occasionally, he'd buy something he liked online, the most popular consumption method nowadays, because he really disliked shopping malls.
"What you're looking at is the cheapest. What do you think of this one?" Lu Wenshan handed Xiao Xun a very well-fitting suit. Xiao Xun looked at it; it cost nearly ten thousand yuan.
"Have you heard of this brand?" Lu Wenshan asked with a smile.
"No!"
Xiao Xun replied honestly, appearing particularly sincere.
Lu Wenshan seemed disbelieving that Xiao Xun didn't recognize luxury brands. After looking around, she chose a very beautiful white trench coat and handed it to Xiao Xun, asking, "What do you think of this one?"
Without hesitation, Xiao Xun immediately replied, "It looks good."
Lu Wenshan was surprised by Xiao Xun's casualness in buying clothes and immediately nodded, starting to pick items carefully. It must be said, Lu Wenshan had excellent taste. She quickly selected ten outfits and six pairs of shoes, essentially picking out the best items in the store.
But the price was also definitely top-tier. The total came to a hefty seventy to eighty thousand yuan. This delighted the store's sales assistants, whose mouths couldn't close.
However, Xiao Xun was not one to fuss. He casually swiped his card to pay, without even a frown.
Lu Wenshan had initially complained that Xiao Xun had said she would pay. But upon seeing the card Xiao Xun produced, she fell silent.
She knew that the money required for the items she had bought was less than the interest earned on that card in a single day.
