Chapter 1866 - 1952: Super Elite Family
To be honest, that really wasn’t a big deal. What really blew his mind was that people actually played around with this kind of knowledge for fun—just how filthy rich did you have to be for that?!
An Xuan’er’s biggest goal in this life was to marry into a wealthy family. But those rich young masters wouldn’t even look at a woman like her, not to mention she wasn’t even qualified to be toyed with. And her circle of friends had zero contact with rich heirs. She couldn’t exactly paste her phone number all over the street and openly announce she was looking for a rich husband, right?!
But An Xuan’er never in a million years expected that on this blind date today, she’d actually run into a real rich heir. No wonder she couldn’t calm down for a long time. And the most important thing was that Su Xuan was actually recruiting a secretary. Who didn’t know what kind of "stuff" went on between a boss and his secretary? So of course she felt her hopes blazing bright in front of her.
An Xuan’er had already started picturing herself joining the company and taking on the status of the boss’s wife—driving luxury cars, wearing diamond rings, carrying LV bags, living that extravagant rich-wife life. Honestly, she was seriously overthinking it!
"Su Xuan, so you’re saying that car at the door really is yours?!"
Dong Jianwen said excitedly.
"Yeah. I originally bought it for my wife, but that girl said it was too flashy and insisted I buy her something from a domestic brand, so I just kept it for myself to drive!"
Su Xuan was wolfing down the dishes; he really was starving!
"You’re married?"
In that instant, An Xuan’er felt like she’d been plunged into an ice cellar, her whole body going cold. Oh my god, who the hell beat her to it!
"Yeah, when did you get married, man? How did I not know?"
"Uh... we’re still dating. She’s my girlfriend."
Su Xuan explained briefly. In his head he thought, I’ve got so many "wives"—if I actually got married for real, wouldn’t everything be a mess? After he said that, An Xuan’er’s hope reignited. A girlfriend, that’s it? So what. She was a natural beauty, stunning as a fairy; she was sure she could steal Su Xuan away!
"President Su, let me toast you!"
An Xuan’er spoke in a voice with a hint of coquetry and flirtation. The moment she said it, Su Xuan felt goosebumps break out all over him.
"Thanks!"
To be honest, Su Xuan didn’t have any good impression of this woman. He hadn’t heard what she and Dong Jianwen were talking about earlier, but it was obvious she’d been looking down on Dong Jianwen. This was exactly the kind of snobbish woman she was.
Although Su Xuan didn’t object to women being materialistic, that didn’t mean he liked materialistic women!
"President Su, are you still recruiting a secretary?"
Sure enough, An Xuan’er was getting ready to recommend herself.
"Mm, yeah."
Su Xuan didn’t think too much about it and answered directly.
"Then what do you think about me? I’ve worked as a secretary at big companies like Foxconn and Hermès, I’ve got tons of experience!"
Happiness was something you had to grab for yourself—or at least that’s how she saw it. It would be such a shame to miss an opportunity like this!
"Ahem..."
Su Xuan felt a bit awkward. Honestly, he’d never even considered hiring this type of woman. A vain, snobbish woman working under him? Su Xuan wasn’t that stupid. For the secretary position, Su Xuan didn’t necessarily require a beautiful face, but he did care a lot about character. That was also why he still hadn’t found the right person.
At many of Su Xuan’s companies, the secretarial roles were actually filled by his women. In plain terms, when he wasn’t around, the secretaries ran everything. He’d originally planned to have Cheng Ling manage things, but Cheng Ling was still a student and lacked experience, so that wasn’t going to work. That’s why he had to hire someone temporarily.
"Well..."
Su Xuan really wanted to say, Of course not. I wouldn’t pick you in a million years. But then he thought that would be way too hurtful.
"We have very high education requirements. At least a top-10 university. If it’s Huaqing or Peking University, even better. Are you?"
This was the only excuse Su Xuan could come up with. If he didn’t use something like this to brush her off, saying it straight out would be brutal.
"..."
In that instant, An Xuan’er was speechless. Top-10 university her ass—she wasn’t even an undergrad, just a vocational school grad. She really had worked as a secretary at places like Foxconn, thinking she could hook a rich husband, but without the necessary skills, she got fired within a few days!
At this moment, An Xuan’er genuinely hated herself—hated that she hadn’t studied hard back then. If she’d worked hard, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation. Just thinking about it made her feel awful!
"Then what about clerk positions? Are you hiring?"
An Xuan’er took a step back from her original goal, still unwilling to give up. She had to get into this company; only then could she stay close to the water and get the moon first.
"We do have clerk positions."
Su Xuan replied directly. Honestly, one look and he could tell she wasn’t the type who liked working. There was no way he’d hire her.
"Honey, what are you doing here?"
Just then, a very pleasant voice rang out, and a girl with a high ponytail and a long trench coat came bouncing over.
You never know the real gap until you compare. When this girl ran over, both An Xuan’er and Nie Bingxin instantly felt themselves dim in comparison. It was like a guy who’s 1.6 meters suddenly seeing a guy who’s 1.8—he immediately feels a massive gap.
Needless to say, the one who came in was none other than Cheng Ling.
"Th-this is your wife?"
Dong Jianwen was also stunned. In his heart he thought, Dude, you’re really an old cow eating tender grass!
"Yeah. Ling’er, this is Dong Jianwen, an old comrade of mine."
"Hello, Brother Dong!"
Cheng Ling greeted him very politely.
"Hello, hello! I feel like I’ve seen you before. Do you also work at Jun Yue?"
Dong Jianwen asked curiously.
"He’s still a student. I just let him work part-time at Jun Yue."
Su Xuan smiled faintly.
"Bro, you’ve got game. This really is an old cow eating tender grass!"
The relationship between Dong Jianwen and Su Xuan was pretty solid, so he didn’t bother being polite with his words.
"Ahem... screw you. Oh right, Ling’er, what are you doing here?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
"Grandpa and Grandma came to the Imperial Capital to travel this time, and today my parents are treating them to dinner."
"Then why didn’t you tell me?"
Su Xuan stood up. They were her grandparents, after all; he definitely had to go say hello!
"Mom and Dad said you’re really busy and told me not to bother you!"
"Silly girl!"
Su Xuan said dotingly, then handed his car keys to Dong Jianwen.
"Dong, I’m going to have dinner with my wife’s grandparents. After you finish eating, send these two beauties home."
With that, he went upstairs to a private room on the second floor with Cheng Ling.
"Next time your relatives come, make sure you tell me. If Grandpa and Grandma think I’m putting on airs, that’ll be super awkward!"
