Chapter 52: Xu Tian sends photos
"It's alright." Xu Tian said perfunctorily.
Even if he felt that Tang Xin's outfit today was indeed eye-catching, compared to his wife, it was really quite far off.
As he spoke, Xu Tian didn't look at Tang Xin anymore, stood up directly, walked to the door, and reopened the office door that had been tightly locked.
Even if he was slow, he noticed that Tang Xin had ulterior motives.
From just now, this woman's various performances seemed to be deliberately seducing him, which reminded Xu Tian of rumors he had heard inadvertently in his previous life.
Although Tang Xin was Tang Bingyan's cousin, their relationship wasn't harmonious, and Tang Xin had a habit of snatching things from Tang Bingyan since she was a child.
Anything Tang Bingyan took a fancy to, whether it was antique jewelry, land, or engineering projects, or even friends around Tang Bingyan, Tang Xin had to snatch them from her.
Of course, these various behaviors of Tang Xin all ended in failure, but that didn't prevent her from constantly causing trouble for Tang Bingyan like an unkillable cockroach.
It must be that Tang Xin knew about his relationship with Tang Bingyan, so she deliberately came to approach him.
After all, although very few people knew about his marriage to Tang Bingyan, they didn't deliberately hide it too much; if one investigated carefully, they could find out.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian looked at Tang Xin and said sternly:
"Tang Zong, as the contact person for the Xu Group, I will fulfill my duties and not let any mistakes happen during the project. If there are any problems, I will contact you as soon as possible."
Since Tang Xin didn't want to talk about the cooperation with him now, he could only take the initiative to bring the topic back.
Although Xu Tian had some deductions about Tang Xin's purpose, he had to admit that Tang Xin's level was much higher than An Rongxuan's.
An Rongxuan was straightforward and chose to have a showdown when she wanted to develop further with him, which gave Xu Tian a chance to refuse.
But Tang Xin was different from An Rongxuan; Tang Xin seemed to have done many inappropriate ambiguous actions, but she didn't say anything.
Even if Xu Tian pointed it out now, Tang Xin could pretend to be innocent as if she didn't know anything and say to him indifferently, "You misunderstood."
Xu Tian naturally wouldn't do anything self-indulgent; before Tang Xin expressed it explicitly, it wasn't easy for him to tell Tang Xin directly that he wasn't interested in her.
"Xu Zong, we can put company matters aside."
Tang Xin raised her eyebrows somewhat unexpectedly; she didn't expect that her outfit today would have no effect on Xu Tian at all.
Could it be that her outfit today really didn't suit Xu Tian's taste?
She couldn't help but look down at her tight tube top dress and frowned somewhat puzzled.
Don't men all like this kind?
Or was her makeup too heavy today, and Xu Tian liked that kind of pure and unpretentious little white flower?
Otherwise, she really couldn't figure out why Xu Tian only had work on his mind when she dressed like this and was alone in a room with him.
Xu Tian saw Tang Xin's confusion, and his guess was confirmed a bit more in his heart.
He looked at Tang Xin with a smile that wasn't a smile and said leisurely: "Then I'm sorry, Tang Zong, I only talk about official business during working hours. If Tang Zong has no other instructions, I have other things to deal with here."
Tang Xin hit a soft nail, and facing Xu Tian's order to leave, it wasn't easy for her to flare up, so she could only quietly take out a business card from her bag and put it on Xu Tian's desk.
"In any case, we are in a cooperative relationship from now on, and there will be many opportunities to meet. Xu Zong, if you have anything you need my help with, don't be polite; just come to me."
After speaking, Tang Xin didn't have the mind to continue pestering and turned around to leave Xu Tian's office.
Just out of Xu Tian's office, she saw Xu Rixin, who always liked to pretend to be a good person, flying into a rage.
The secretary was explaining carefully beside him: "Xu Zong, I also just got the news from HR; no one expected such an accident to happen."
"What happened, Xu Zong?" Tang Xin walked over and asked.
"Just a small matter, let Tang Zong laugh at us."
Xu Rixin forced a smile at Tang Xin: "The finale of the company's annual meeting rehearsal is an opera, but I just learned that two of the actors broke their legs this morning and were sent to the hospital, and another was poached by another company and proposed resignation."
"There isn't much time left for rehearsal, and I must find two employees with suitable appearances to replace them; otherwise, this finale opera that has been rehearsed for months cannot be performed as scheduled."
Opera?
Xu Tian, who walked out of the office following Tang Xin, frowned slightly and thought, but he had absolutely no memory of this opera.
After all, at this time in his previous life, he had just divorced Tang Bingyan and had been given a six-month annual leave by Xu Rixin on the grounds of relaxing, so he naturally missed this annual meeting.
Although the annual meeting would proceed as usual even if two employees were missing, if the carefully prepared finale program was really missing, it would definitely make the annual meeting lose a lot of color.
Recently, the Xu Group's efficiency hadn't been good, and Xu Rixin was planning to use this annual meeting to build momentum.
If there was really a slip-up in the finale program, it would be enough to make him feel uncomfortable for a while.
However, Xu Tian didn't expect that it was this thought that opened up a completely new field he had never been involved in...
"Xu Zong, what are the positions of the vacant roles?"
Tang Xin showed full interest in this opera.
Xu Rixin looked up at the secretary beside him, and the secretary hurriedly replied: "They are two very important roles. One is a peerless beauty who outshines everyone, and the other requires a man to dress as a woman."
"These two roles have very high requirements for the actors' looks. Those two employees were also candidates chosen early on since the opera rehearsal started. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Right now, we really can't pick any other suitable candidates in the company."
"A beauty and a handsome man dressed as a woman..."
Tang Xin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she had an idea in her heart.
"Xu Zong, what do you think of me?"
"Tang Zong?"
Xu Rixin was taken aback: "You aren't joking, are you?"
He never expected that Tang Xin would take the initiative to lower her status and ask to participate in the opera rehearsed by their company.
Tang Xin's face sank, and she snorted coldly: "Do you think I look like someone who jokes around casually? Or does Xu Zong think I can't handle the role of a beauty?"
"No, no... how could that be?"
Xu Rixin hurriedly said, "If Tang Zong is willing to condescend to play the role of this beauty, of course, I couldn't ask for more, but rehearsing an opera takes a lot of time. You are so busy, I'm just worried that it will delay your time?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Anyway, I want to cooperate with you, and I have to come to your Xu Corporation often recently."
Tang Xin's expression eased slightly: "And I was the lead singer of the opera club when I was in college. The opera you are rehearsing won't stump me. Since Tang Zong is willing to help, that's great!"
Xu Rixin was overjoyed. With Tang Xin's status, being willing to personally perform at the Xu Group's annual meeting was the best gimmick for them.
When the time comes, he will invite some media to build momentum, which will definitely make the company get more attention.
"Xu Zong, what about the other role of a man dressed as a woman?" The secretary asked cautiously.
The beauty's role was solved, but a role of a man dressed as a woman was still missing.
The male employee who was originally going to play this role could be considered a recognized handsome man in the company, but it's a pity that he broke his leg and had to take three months of sick leave, so he couldn't go on stage at all.
Now picking from other employees, although they could barely pick one out, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
"This..."
Xu Rixin was also a bit worried: "If we really can't pick one out, we can only spend money to find a temporary actor."
"Why find a temporary actor?"
Tang Xin suddenly turned back and looked at Xu Tian who followed behind, "Isn't there a ready-made candidate here?" ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
