87 Chapter 87 : Resentful

The contract signing ended 30 minutes ago with a photo op consist of stakeholders, Xing couple, and Gu Chenguang at the center.

It was a successful contract signing and media even complimented that they are excited to see its fruition and one of the best collaboration this year.

Though the collaboration was only for PR purposes, still everyone seems to be interested and excited.

In the internet world, the contract signing was trending at number one and has been the talk of the town. Netizens are obsessed with anything the Xing couple offers since they were a very interesting couple.

Overall, the event was so successful that a small percentage fans of Gu Chenguang and enticed people immediately sent their curriculum vitae to Xiulan's company email address.

The HR department's hands are now full from all the inquiries they are getting. It's only been half an hour but the number of emails they are getting are incredible.

Add that the marketing team was also getting different business proposals. The stocks of both Hongqi and Xiulan's companies were rising too. Definitely a successful feat.

They are now having their lunchtime banquet and Gu Chenguang was still in a daze. Her manager even had to always call her attention every now and then so she could concentrate.

Chenguang can't help but stare at Xiulan's beauty and admire her overall personality. Xiulan talked with poise and her voice has that caring tone to it. If she ever had a child, her voice can successfully coax a crying baby in an instant.

Chenguang was not a lesbian or was having a distort identity crisis. She may have an androgynous visuals but she was straight.It's just that Xiulan was just a very admiring woman.

Hongqi's presence also added to her daze state. The two of them looked together. Their visuals were like they came out of a webtoon or a fantasy game. They are so good to look at that she can't help but ogle at them.

"Cheng! Please concentrate. You've been slicing the steak for a good minute now. Why are you spacing out anyway?" her manager was really annoyed.

Chenguang quickly ate the meat she was slicing. She blushed from the embarrassment. She looked at her manager and it was obvious that her manager was already fuming. She quietly mutters her apologies.

"Miss Gu, I might not be able to be there during the photoshoot but I'll make sure you are taken care of by my staff."

Xiulan was seated in front of Chenguang and she slightly panicked that Xiulan suddenly talked to her.

"It's okay, Mrs. Xing. I know you are very busy. I'll definitely work hard!" Chenguang happily cheered.

Hongqi was listening to their chit chat and only smiled at her but there's a hint of threat in his eyes, screaming "You better do your job properly!"

Chenguang shivered. She can't believe that she'll be able to directly experience his tyrannical management this time.

Gu Chenguang never had a direct contact with Xing Hongqi but she experienced his deathly management whenever she's inside the company building. He was scornful towards incompetent employees and has that intimidating, domineering aura.

She did received congratulatory gifts from him and the other bosses but that's not enough not to be scared of him.

The contrast of the Xing couple is really interesting.

After eating and chatting with Hongqi's staff, Xiulan bid her farewell and left the place with her team. She still have other important stuff to do and she must complete Mystery Magic's new avatar and that fake video soon.

"Should I still continue Mystery Magic's fake promotional video? I think this collaboration is already enough." Xiulan subconsciously asked herself.

Now that there are tons of business proposals coming in, making that fake promotional video will only keep her more busy. She decided to draft it and she'll only continue it once it's needed.

When they arrived in Xiulan's office, everyone congratulated them from the successful contract signing and the surge of good news they have been receiving since morning.

"Since this collaboration is successful, I'll treat everyone to a fancy dinner this evening. Though I won't be able to attend, Secretary Dandan will be my proxy and will pay the bill."

"Yahoooo! Thank you, boss!" everyone was happy from hearing that they'll be getting free fancy dinner. Xiulan had always been very generous to her employees. But since they are getting a fancy dinner, they must doll up.

Xiulan left the buzzing staff and went inside her office. She sat on her presidential chair and contemplated for a little while before she started grunting and self-loathing.

"Uggh… The women in Hongqi's company are extremely beautiful. Which wife wouldn't think of ill thoughts about her husband when he's surrounded by beautiful women?" Xiulan silently aggrieved.

As she remembers the women inside the hall a while ago, she really can't help but be self-conscious. Most have a bombshell figure and a face that can compete in beauty pageants.

Add that she also knew the long list of Hongqi's exes. They have all the same traits that he likes. She was considered an attractive woman but not the type that can be considered as Hongqi's type.

"That stupid psychopath Han Pierre was right." Xiulan resentfully muttered.

She wasn't supposed to be feeling heavy about this but the guts inside her tells her that something is wrong and she should be bothered.

"Uuuuuughhh…." She groaned for so long but quickly recovered when she realized that this is a stupid matter.

"Wait… why am I being depressed about this? Why am I even thinking about this? I shouldn't be jealous since I don't love him." Xiulan eagerly tried to convince herself. "Right. I shouldn't."

She quickly turned on her laptop, put on her headphones, listened to her favorite music and started swiftly typing on her laptop like she was possessed.

"I must put my mind on something that doesn't involve that haughty husband. Gosh, this is not right!" she was extremely anxious. Eventually, she calmed down and totally forgotten about her issues.
