The manager nervously wiped the sweat from his face, gauging her expression before carefully asking, "Would you consider borrowing his help?" This is by far... the best idea I've heard yet. A flicker of uncertainty crossed A-Wei's eyes. Since her own capabilities were insufficient, she had only one option left: to seek outside help. After all, she was a businesswoman now, and it would be foolish not to leverage her network. Seeing that the bidding project was just a day away, if she didn't go all out and fight for it, she would only watch the opportunity slip away from her grasp. After making up her mind, Wanye immediately took action. She got off work early today, something rare for her, and went to the supermarket to pick out some ingredients. Back at Xianzhuang, she simmered a pot of soup. He Hanchuan had sent her a WeChat message last night, apparently because a vulnerability in the network program under his company's subsidiary had caused everyone in the company to work overtime for the past few days. He had been busy at the office all night last night. << Towards Evening was very sympathetic towards him, and she understood that once He Hanchuan got busy, he wouldn't even care about sleeping or eating. Seeing that he really liked the soup she had cooked in his study last time, she bought ingredients this time and made different kinds of dishes for him. >> Besides the matter at hand, 向晚 also put in effort to learn a few desserts from the chef. She packed them into an insulated lunch box and brought them to 賀寒川. Upon arriving at the company, the receptionist immediately stopped her playful chatter. She recognized her at once and greeted her respectfully, "Madam, it's been a long time." "Hmm." Xiang Wan smiled warmly, "I'm here to bring Han Chuan his lunch. Is he in the office?" "Yes, the CEO just finished a company meeting and is currently in his office. Would you like me to call him for you?" "No need, I can just go find him directly." With that,向晚 carried the thermos and walked to the elevator. The front desk clerk quickly pressed the elevator button for her and waved goodbye as she rode it upstairs. Watching her figure disappear from sight, the front desk clerk sighed heavily to her companion, couldn't help but enviously exclaim, "Look at her life, she directly married into a wealthy family and became a rich wife." "Okay, the Chairman's wife already has a good background, right?" "That's right, she's the kindest woman I've ever met. She's always so gentle and patient with us, never raising her voice." As receptionists, they had seen too many arrogant rich wives and had suffered a lot. So, someone like Xiang Wan with a gentle personality received their unanimous praise! Unaware of the whispers among her employees, Xiang Wan strode directly to the CEO's office. As soon as she stepped off the stairs, she saw several managers leaving He Hanchuan's office. "My life is so hard, I've revised this plan four times already, but He总 is still not satisfied." "I've revised it six or seven times already, gosh! My wife keeps arguing with me because I'm working overtime every day. How am I going to explain myself tonight?" "Accept it, who says you have to be beautiful? Look at He总's new female secretary, she's stunning and her proposals are always approved on the first try." "... " They gossiped in hushed tones, completely oblivious to the arrival of A-wei who just stepped out from the private elevator. Overhearing their conversation inadvertently, A-wei's face grew solemn. Female secretary? She rarely came to the He family in her daily life. The last time she came, she remembered that He Hanchuan was accompanied by a male secretary. When was he replaced? As soon as Xiang Wan reached the office door, she heard the conversation of the woman inside. Her footsteps faltered, and she subconsciously peeked through the window. In the vast office, piles of documents were stacked on the desk. He Hanchuan was hunched over his work, engrossed in some material. His brows furrowed tightly in concentration. While standing opposite him, the female secretary held a file in her hands, reading aloud some professional terms. After communicating with He Hanchuan for a while, she rested her elbow on the table and leaned forward, engaging in close-quarters conversation with him. The female secretary's figure was comparable to a model's. Dressed in a white shirt and black mini skirt, her professional attire accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her bending movements highlighted the fullness of her form, possessing an undeniable allure! Although she knew they were just working together, seeing the lone man and woman in the same room made her heart feel like it was stuffed with a sponge. Click. She couldn't bear it any longer, her fingers pressed against the doorknob, and pushed the door open. The sound she made startled the two people in the office. He, He Hanchuan, saw her and his originally sullen handsome face instantly eased considerably. A slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips, and his slender fingers twirled a pen. "Mrs. He, what brings you to my office today?" Towards the evening, she lightly twitched her lips and walked towards him. As she passed by the female secretary, she deliberately didn't glance at her, placing the thermos directly on the table. "Knowing you're working, I happened to be free today, so I specially made some soup. Come take it and treat yourself." "Soup? What ingredients did you use this time?" He Hanchuan felt a shudder when he heard Xiang Wan making soup. Last time, that ginseng worth billions of dollars was wasted, and after eating it, he had an excess of nutrients and got sick for days. "Shrimp and pork bone soup, don't worry, it won't kill you." Xiang Wan responded helplessly, lifting the lid of the pot. The hot air carrying the aroma suddenly filled the air. Looking at Xiang Wan diligently serving him hot soup, He Hanchuan's heart was warmed by a surge of affection. His attention immediately shifted from work, his gaze glued to her as if unable to tear himself away. "Wawawa, you must be very tired after running all day today, right?" 向晚 was busy serving soup and casually replied, "No, I drove here." "Rubbish, you've been running around in my mind all day, aren't you tired?" He Hanchuan said with a light and breezy tone, the popular earthy love words lately, as he took the soup handed over by Xiang Wan. “......” Suddenly being teased like this, Xiang Wan's face flushed red. Although her heart was filled with sweetness, she still pretended to glare at him, “He Hanchuan, you should be more restrained, there are still your employees here.” "Oh, I forgot." He looked at the female secretary with displeasure, as if she was being insensitive for staying there. "It's okay, I was reporting work in General He's office all afternoon. I was going to ask him what he likes to eat and order some food, but you just arrived." The female secretary seemed oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, calmly explaining. "Well, you've worked hard." Xiang Wan reminded with a blank expression. For some reason, ever since she saw this seemingly innocent female secretary, he just didn't have a good feeling about her. But the female secretary didn't mind her coldness at all. She wore a gentle smile and took the initiative to reach out to her, "Madam, your soup smells so good, I'm drooling just smelling it. Let me introduce myself, my name is Song Yan, I'm a graduate student at Harvard University, and I just joined the company this month." 16446330 / 67282415.
