Chapter 1494: Still Can't Do Anything About Him

~7 min read 1,358 words

Because the office was very quiet, Xu Xiaoxiao also heard an angry roar coming from the phone:

"You brat, where did you learn all the sense of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor I taught you since you were a child!?"

"I was just hanging out with friends, how does that involve propriety, justice, integrity, and honor?"

"Hanging out? What you were doing is clearly wallowing in luxury and dissipation!"

"I'm using the money I earned myself to have some fun, I'm not bothering anyone, am I?"

"You are bothering the family's reputation!"

Elder Wang was roaring, and his full-throated reprimand made Wang Sinian's ears ache.

To avoid going deaf, Wang Sinian made an excuse about poor signal and hung up the phone.

But before Wang Sinian could even catch his breath, the director came looking for him.

The director had intended to call Wang Sinian out to talk to him privately.

But Wang Sinian very candidly told the director to just say it in the office.

With no other choice, the director could only ask tactfully: "Xiao Wang, that photo from earlier, was it sent by mistake?"

"No, that photo was first discovered by Xu Xiaoxiao. She felt the leadership should know, so I sent it to you."

Wang Sinian stated the facts, and his statement... made Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes widen.

She never expected that this guy could actually push the matter onto her!!

At that moment, was he also going to blame her for not stopping him from going to the nightclub!?

Xu Xiaoxiao grew increasingly angry.

But the director thought this young man was truly excessively straightforward.

If you take a photo, just hide it; why send it to him? It made the director feel very passive right now.

Sighing inwardly, the director said: "The fact that you could let me handle this shows you trust me, and I am very gratified. Well, young people are inevitably frivolous, don't do this again in the future."

The director seemed very fair.

But his handling

method... seemed like he didn't handle it at all!

Seeing that the director was about to leave, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped him and said: "I don't want to work with Wang Sinian anymore!"

Regardless of whether she could force Wang Sinian away, she wanted to shake off this burden right now!

The director had heard before that Xu Xiaoxiao was very strict with Wang Sinian.

But he only thought it was training for a young person.

He never expected that at this moment...

The director rolled his eyes, then suddenly realized: "I understand, this is your way of showing tough love!"

Huh?

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned, thinking to herself, what kind of conclusion is this, talking about love and hate!

She was about to deny it, but the director patted her on the shoulder and said first: "I know, it hurts your heart to watch a young person under your guidance go astray. But no one is perfect, you still have to give a young colleague a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

"I don't want to give him a chance! I came here to work, not to accompany others as they grow up!"

"Fine, you say you came here to work, then has he completed all the work you assigned to him?"

"……Yes."

"Then there you go. You work well together, and that's enough. As for his personal life... I will communicate with his family."

"But……"

"Let's not spread this matter further, that's all."

After speaking, the director patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder again and left first.

And Xu Xiaoxiao, having failed to shake off the burden, couldn't help but clench her fists.

Then she suddenly raised her head and glared fiercely at Wang Sinian.

Wang Sinian was also looking at Xu Xiaoxiao.

But in his eyes, there was an accusation, and he said: "You have endless patience for Jiang Chenghao, but for others, you want to drive them to extinction. You really shouldn't be so obviously double-standard."

"Are you the same as him?

Jiang Chenghao is kind, a gentleman, and willing to think of others, while you..."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked him up and down, then said with disgust: "Only know how to slack off, be lazy, and be cynical!"

Wang Sinian did not accept such an evaluation.

He retorted: "I finished all the tasks you gave me, so can't I relax when there's no work?"

"You can, but your relaxation has exceeded reasonable limits and makes people feel uncomfortable!"

"Jiang Chenghao is a boss who goes to plant trees, and you think that's so positive, but I go to have a drink and dance, and I'm suddenly unforgivable? I think..."

Wang Sinian paused deliberately, and after Xu Xiaoxiao looked over, he continued: "You just see what you want to see because of your crush!"

"What crush, stop talking nonsense!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was very angry at first, but soon, she calmed down.

And she questioned: "Don't think you can use this tactic to divert my attention!"

"Do I need to divert your attention? You've used up all your tricks, but I'm still perfectly fine, and besides..."

Wang Sinian suddenly leaned close to Xu Xiaoxiao and said in a very annoying tone, "It's so nice to be able to stay and keep working!"

This guy...

Xu Xiaoxiao's fists were clenched tightly, and her breathing became rapid!

But even though she was furious, Xu Xiaoxiao had to admit one thing: she really had no more tricks up her sleeve.

She had thought that by relying on the scandalous photos, she could force Wang Sinian to leave.

Yet she never expected that this guy would rather self-destruct than leave!

Xu Xiaoxiao could not understand; she stared fixedly at Wang Sinian's face and issued a soul-searching question: "Staying behind doesn't make you happy either, so why be so persistent?"

"Who says I'm not happy? Seeing you every day makes me very happy."

Wang

Sinian said this with a beaming smile, a shimmering light flashing within his peach-blossom eyes.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao was not the least bit impressed by such charm.

She even rolled her eyes, and then paid no more attention to Wang Sinian.

In order to calm herself down, Xu Xiaoxiao went to the campus Lotus Pond alone for a walk.

At this hour, there was basically no one at the Lotus Pond.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat on a stone table, quietly listening to the sound of the wind.

Her mood also slowly calmed down.

But just at this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao actually saw Elder Wang.

However, Elder Wang did not notice Xu Xiaoxiao; instead, he walked up to someone with a grave expression.

That person was none other than the Director.

The Director patted Elder Wang on the shoulder and then led him toward the direction of the Comprehensive Building.

Xu Xiaoxiao guessed that the two of them were going to the office to discuss matters.

What could they be discussing at this time?

It must be related to Wang Sinian!

Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and decided to follow them to eavesdrop!

Only when she reached the office door did Xu Xiaoxiao discover that the door was exceptionally soundproof; she pressed her ear against it, but could not hear a single word!

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was feeling frustrated, the person inside opened the office door.

And she ended up locking eyes with Xu Xiaoxiao!

Uh...

Xu Xiaoxiao felt so awkward.

But to avoid letting people see her embarrassment, she put on a serious expression and said, "Director, I have some documents in my hand that I would like you to take a look at."

"Oh, just leave them on the desk then; I need to go to a meeting first and will be back very soon."

After the Director finished speaking, he left from Xu Xiaoxiao's side.

Because he was in a hurry, the Director did not notice at all that Xu Xiaoxiao's hands... were empty of any documents.

The person inside the office heard the familiar voice and poked

his head out to look.

Seeing that it was Xu Xiaoxiao, Elder Wang waved at her: "Little Xu, could we have a chat?"
