Hearing this answer, Su Wan couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, but she didn't give up and immediately asked again, "Then does Chairman Jiang have time tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
At the mention of dinner, the adorable image of Su Wan getting drunk while eating hotpot last time immediately surfaced in Jiang Cheng's mind.
It was also on that night that Jiang Cheng tasted Da Wanyin for the first time.
Recalling that warm and soft touch, Jiang Cheng's heart couldn't help but stir.
Although he wasn't one to take the initiative, seeing Su Wan's performance lately, even if he made some 'accidental' moves, she might really just go along with it and accept him.
However, Jiang Cheng soon remembered that tonight he needed to help Yu Xiaoxiao pull some strings in her department.
Helplessly, he could only tactfully refuse, "Tonight probably won't work. How about tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Su Wan understood in her heart that Jiang Cheng would definitely be accompanying Yu Xiaoxiao tonight.
Although she was displeased, she still nodded sensibly and said, "Alright then, I'll book a table tomorrow and message you then."
After speaking, she gave a slight smile, her eyes even revealing a hint of understanding and relief.
Without bothering to speculate whether Su Wan's expression was genuine or not, Jiang Cheng stepped directly into the elevator as soon as the doors opened.
The elevator quickly reached the floor where Xingchen Investment Company was located.
Stepping out of the elevator, Jiang Cheng walked through the main entrance of Xingchen Investment with practiced ease.
It was currently lunch hour, and only one receptionist was at the front desk, playing on her phone.
Seeing Jiang Cheng walk in, the Front Desk Girl immediately flipped her phone face down on the desk and stood up nervously, "Good afternoon, Chairman Jiang."
Jiang Cheng gave her a casual wave and walked toward the main office hall.
He was halfway there when he saw Zhao Linger walking out of the Pantry carrying a takeout box.
"Chairman Jiang, why are you here again! You've been coming to the company quite frequently lately."
As soon as Zhao Linger spoke, the female employees who were resting all looked toward Jiang Cheng with expressions of pleasant surprise.
"What? Are you not happy to see me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Linger glanced at the office women who were secretly checking themselves in their phone mirrors.
She replied with a smile, "How could that be? You have no idea—every time you visit, the female staff are like they've been injected with chicken blood. Their efficiency is several times higher than usual! Everyone is giving it their all, wanting to show their best side. So, you must come visit us more often whenever you have time."
Jiang Cheng's gaze landed on Zhao Linger's earlobe. "The hole I poked for you last time... it feels like it's about to close up again. Should I poke it again for you?"
At this, Zhao Linger put on a look of grievance. "No, no! I don't dare to use force to poke it myself, so I have to find you to do it. It's so much trouble."
"Isn't that simple? Haven't I always told you? Whenever you want it poked, just come find me anytime."
"But it's already very late when I get off work. I don't have the time."
"Silly girl, for this kind of thing, the later the better. No matter how late it is, I'll help you poke it. I'll help you in a bit."
"Alright then, I have Earrings in my office. Help me put them in later."
"If the hole looks too tight, we can apply some oil first, rub it a bit, and then poke it. That way it won't hurt."
Zhao Linger touched her earlobe upon hearing this and said with a face of agreement, "I didn't expect you to be so meticulous, Chairman Jiang."
Jiang Cheng shook his head at her words. "Don't go saying things like that. I'm a coarse man, and more importantly, I don't look that great."
Clearly, Zhao Linger didn't catch his drift and said with disagreement, "Chairman Jiang, you're very handsome!"
She then turned to the group of girls at their desks and asked, "Don't you all agree?"
Evidently, those girls understood Jiang Cheng's double entendre instantly. At that moment, many of them couldn't help but quietly squeeze their legs together under their desks.
A bolder girl was the first to speak, "That... Supervisor Zhao, I think Chairman Jiang is right too."
After she spoke, the other girls chimed in one after another, "I think so too. With Chairman Jiang's build, there's no way he's 'thin'."
...Seeing the group of girls chattering away, Zhao Linger suddenly felt a bit bewildered.
Seeing the group of girls looking at him with burning gazes, Jiang Cheng decisively rubbed his nose and changed the subject. "Have you all not eaten yet?"
"Yes, Chairman Jiang. Have you eaten?" someone responded.
Seeing Jiang Cheng shake his head, Zhao Linger followed up, "Then let's go eat first. I bought a lot and can never finish it. Once we're full, we'll have the strength to 'poke'. Don't you agree?"
Seeing Zhao Linger say this, a female employee finally couldn't hold back and reminded her softly, "Supervisor Zhao, these are all young girls who just graduated. You should watch what you say; they're so embarrassed they can't even lift their heads."
Zhao Linger looked at them with a face full of confusion and asked, "What do you mean? What did I say? It's just putting in an Earring, why be shy about that?"
Seeing that the scene was about to spiral out of control, Jiang Cheng cleared his throat. "I'll go find Manager Chen first. You guys go ahead and eat..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng walked briskly toward Chen Xueer's office.
Seeing Jiang Cheng appear in her office so hurriedly and even closing the door, Chen Xueer couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. She asked with a face full of doubt, "Chairman Jiang, did something happen?"
Walking over to the sofa, Jiang Cheng plopped down. "Manager Chen, there are too many women in this company. You have no idea—if I walked any slower, they'd probably strip me of my underwear."
Chen Xueer glanced doubtfully at the closed door and joked with a smile, "So you think there are too many? Anyway, our company's scale is constantly expanding, and we've recently started recruiting new staff. How about I give an order to add a condition for the new hires—only men?"
