"Good girl, don't cry, I'm fine..." Jiang Cheng let Xia Xiaowei sob in his embrace, placing his hand on Xia Xiaowei's head and slowly comforting her.

Xia Xiaowei cried for a good while, nearly smudging her makeup, then finally stopped. Thinking of her previous actions, she blushed suddenly, lowered her head, and whispered to Jiang Cheng, "Chairman Jiang, I'm sorry, I was just too worried about your safety. But it's nothing." How could Jiang Cheng not notice Xia Xiaowei's feelings for him? Faced with such a good girl, he really couldn't think of any reason to blame her, so he said, "I suspect if I stay here any longer, many media outlets will come soon to interview me. Let's leave quickly."

"Okay." Xia Xiaowei responded softly, then said, "Because you called earlier to tell me you were returning to Luo City, I've already asked the company to prepare a car. Are we going to the villa later?"

Or to the company?

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, touched his forehead, and said with a bitter smile, "I'm also somewhat tired. Let's go back to the villa first. It's been a long time since I've seen the sisters, Su Qianqian and Guan Xiaofei. I wonder how their research project is going. I need to urge them a little."

"Alright." Xia Xiaowei nodded heavily, then took Jiang Cheng to the car the company had prepared, planning to return to Jiang Cheng's villa. Once in the car, Jiang Cheng began to ponder, thinking about the company. Surely there should be some matters needing his attention, so he asked Xia Xiaowei, "Is there anything at the company that requires my attention?"

"Company matters?" Xia Xiaowei, hearing Jiang Cheng's question, said with some resentment, "You went with Major General Xiang Dong to Beijing directly, without handling anything in the company. Letting me, the secretary, be busy all these days... I really don't understand how our company grew so large."

"Well..." Jiang Cheng said with a bitter smile, "Although I am busy with research or negotiating national affairs, leaving me unable to handle company matters, I still care about the company. Besides, Zhang Manlin's capability is so strong, many things don't need my intervention, leaving me somewhat leisurely."

Perhaps because it had been so long since they last met, Xia Xiaowei treasured the time with Jiang Cheng, unexpectedly pouting and saying, "Chairman Jiang, you're such a bad guy. Being your secretary or assistant feels busier than being a general manager."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, saying, "So what do you want from me as compensation?"

His tone was very plain, even somewhat cold. Xia Xiaowei suddenly stopped talking, turning her head as if sulking.

"What kind of compensation do you want, tell me." Although outwardly, Jiang Cheng maintained a calm demeanor, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.

This Xia Xiaowei, after not seeing her for a few days, has truly become a bit childish. But in fact, Xia Xiaowei wasn't childish; she had always admired Jiang Cheng. Having realized that this admiration had merged into her life, she applied for the position of Jiang Cheng's assistant and secretary. With her excellent qualifications, being a secretary was truly beneath her talents, but she willingly accepted it. She simply liked Jiang Cheng. But if Jiang Cheng knew, what could he do?

She still remembered the night she learned she got the job as Jiang Cheng's assistant and secretary. She was so excited she didn't sleep at all. Stories online about bosses and their secretaries—she had heard them, and due to her admiration for Jiang Cheng, she fantasized a lot that night. However, reality was somewhat cruel. Xia Xiaowei discovered, despite being close to Jiang Cheng, she seemed quite unremarkable. Su Qianqian and Guan Xiaofei could join Jiang Cheng in research projects. Zhang Manlin could handle company affairs thoroughly, but she herself seemed quite useless.

In reality, if Jiang Cheng knew Xia Xiaowei's thoughts, he would surely find it amusing. Saying Xia Xiaowei is useless? Who would say that? After hiring her as a secretary, he felt he had more leisure to handle other matters.

Calling her useless is merely Xia Xiaowei's subjective view.

"What kind of compensation do you want, tell me..." Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, a sense of happiness immediately arose in Xia Xiaowei's heart. She so wanted to say, "Let me be your woman."

But the education and environment she grew up in prevented her from voicing her thoughts, leaving her anxious.

After a long while, Xia Xiaowei finally faced Jiang Cheng's gaze, gathered her courage, and said to him, "Chairman Jiang, I want you to find some time to privately accompany me. Can we go to the resort for a day's rest?"

After speaking, Xia Xiaowei's heart began to race uncontrollably, and her cheeks became incredibly red.

Lowering her head, Jiang Cheng could see her earlobes, smooth and translucent, and he couldn't resist the urge to bite them.

"Alright." Jiang Cheng said calmly, looking out the car window, "Wherever you want to go, just go there. I'll try to compensate you."

Regarding Xia Xiaowei's feelings, Jiang Cheng certainly had no reason to reject them. Outstanding men are always surrounded by plenty of women, and with Xia Xiaowei's deep feelings, it would be really unfair to let her down.

"Really?" Xia Xiaowei still doubted she had heard wrong. Jiang Cheng readily agreed so easily; she thought he would instantly refuse considering her request was indeed a bit excessive.

After all, Chairman Jiang is so busy every day, dealing with company affairs or research projects. Asking him to exclusively accompany her for a day was indeed somewhat unreasonable.

"Hmm." Jiang Cheng responded softly, then smiled slightly while touching her head, saying, "I saw you're also exhausted, you almost seem to have dark circles."

"Where..." Xia Xiaowei hurriedly took out a small mirror from her handbag, looked left and right, and realized she didn't have dark circles!

Women are very sensitive to this topic, especially hearing Jiang Cheng, the man she loves, saying she seems to have dark circles, so Xia Xiaowei panicked.

"No dark circles? Let me see." Jiang Cheng said, then kissed Xia Xiaowei's moist and fragrant lips directly.

"Um..." Xia Xiaowei groaned softly, feeling all her bones turn soft, thoroughly enjoying this strange sensation, held tightly in JIang Cheng's embrace, not wanting to part.

Jiang Cheng continued his advances, soon, Xia Xiaowei felt a towering wall within her heart crumble.

The car dispatched by Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company to pick up Jiang Cheng exhibited excellent performance, delivering Jiang Cheng to the villa in no time.

Both Jiang Cheng and Xia Xiaowei got off the car together.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng's expression remained well, plain and ordinary.
