Xu Cheng grasped Eric’s business card in her hand. “I don’t have a business card. Why don’t I give you my number?” Xu Cheng said, taking the initiative. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, though, she thought that maybe she had been too forward. A woman should have pride, after all.
Just as she was grinding her teeth, Eric handed his phone to her with a smile. “Sure.”
Xu Cheng blushed as she took the phone and quickly entered her number. Then she handed the phone back. Eric glanced at his phone and saw that she had only entered a number but not her name.
“What’s your name?” he asked warmly.
Xu Cheng lowered her head and then softly said, “Xu Cheng. The ‘Xu’ comes from the word ‘crystal clear,’ and it means the clear and still water. When my father gave me this name, he wanted me to become a clear and tranquil woman.”
It was clear that when Xu Cheng’s parents gave her the name, they were full of expectations for her.
Eric smiled awkwardly and then handed his phone to Xu Cheng. “I’m sorry, I am from overseas. My Chinese is limited. I don’t know how to write the word.”
Xu Cheng reached out her hand to take Eric’s phone again, and his hand accidentally brushed against hers.
Xu Cheng’s hand trembled as if she had been electrified, and Eric’s phone fell on the ground.
“I’m sorry…” Xu Cheng said in a soft voice as she bent down to pick up Eric’s phone.
“It’s fine.” Eric gave her another warm smile.
That smile entirely took over Xu Cheng’s heart. She typed in her name, still trembling a little, then returned the phone to Eric.
At that moment, Cheng Chen’s personal elevator finally began to descend, and after it dinged, the elevator doors opened. Lina gracefully stepped out in her impressive ten-centimeter heels, giving off the aura of an empress. Her presence made people naturally shift toward her, and yet, it also kept them from looking directly at her.
When he saw that Lina was done with her meeting, Eric immediately stood up. He quickly said to Xu Cheng, “My boss is here. I’ll be leaving now.”
“Okay.” Xu Cheng was a little disappointed.
“I’ll contact you,” Eric said quietly, then quickly caught up with Lina.
When she heard him say that he would contact her, Xu Cheng almost burst with joy. Her eyes followed Eric as he walked away, and then she saw the incomparably dazzling Lina.
Xu Cheng was momentarily stunned by Lina’s powerful aura, the presence that was even more powerful than Ling Tianya’s. Now, this was what a truly successful woman looked like.
“So Eric’s boss is a woman…” Xu Cheng thought. “She seemed to have come from the president’s personal elevator. Was she meeting with Cheng Chen?”
Xu Cheng didn’t know about the web of relationships that connected the two companies. She was simply attracted to Eric and wished to become a woman like Lina.
Xu Cheng glanced at a clock. Lunchtime had passed a long time ago. Even Cheng Chen had returned, so where was Ling Tianya?
Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and called Ling Tianya. “Hey! It’s already late. Why aren’t you back at the company? What? You went home? Then what about me? How will I get home? I…hey! Ling Tianya!”
Xu Cheng angrily threw her phone on the seat beside her. Ling Tianya actually abandoned her here, then told her to go home by herself!
This was her first day at Zhiya Entertainment, and Ling Tianya was already treating her poorly. Would Ling Tianya treat her better in the future?
Xu Cheng indignantly thought about that for a minute, then stormed into the office that the HR department had arranged for her.
