Chapter 293: Ambitious Person
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It seemed that this person was an ambitious person.
It would have been fine if it was someone without ambition who came up to talk to him but it just so happened that it was someone with ambition. Since he had obtained Su Xun’s benefits, there was no reason for him to not use them and waste this opportunity.
If he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would be able to see Su Xun again and talk to him so smoothly?
Thus, in the corner of Xi Wan’s eyes, the man from earlier put on an elite look and used his skilled workplace communication skills to quickly build relationships with many people around him.
“He’s quite powerful.” Xi Wan clicked her tongue in wonder as she muttered softly.
Su Xun walked beside her and paid attention to her situation at all times. He heard every word she said.
Only then did Su Xun divert some of his attention to the man. He then curled his lips and held Xi Wan’s hand, saying to her, “I also think he’s very powerful.” Xi Wan looked at him in surprise. “You think he’s powerful too?”
Xi Wan thought that Su Xun would be like President Dao in television dramas and novels, revealing a contemptuous smile and then saying in a disdainful tone to her, “These people are like that. They grab a little bit of kindness from others and try their best to gain favor.”
“They’re very hardworking. I admire them for seizing every opportunity to work hard for a better future.” Su Xun looked at Xi Wan with a gentle gaze and his tone was filled with admiration.
Xi Wan blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded. “It’s good that you think this way. I was just curious why you’re different from the overbearing chairmen in television dramas and novels.”
After a short pause, she continued, “It seems that I’m too narrow-minded. I shouldn’t have looked at you from a secular point of view. Compared to the overbearing chairman’s image portrayed in television dramas or novels, I still prefer a domineering chairman like you.”
“What do you mean?” Su Xun asked her.
“This is the difference between a paper person and a living person. The characters are usually portrayed according to the screenwriter and author’s knowledge and preferences. People are complicated and have many faces. I prefer living people like them. They can always surprise or scare you in unexpected places.”
Su Xun smiled when he heard his wife’s serious answer.
His good-looking eyebrows curved slightly as he said, “Like me?”
“That’s right. When I thought that you would be disdainful and show a contemptuous smile and attitude, you told me very seriously that you admire him. How can this not surprise me?”
Su Xun looked back at her silently, his gaze very soul-stirring.
“After the birthday party is over, should we have a meal together? After all, it’s been a long time since we last met. The restaurant opposite the school tastes very good.”
Now, the person who suggested the gathering was another person. The restaurant he mentioned was a high-end restaurant near the school. The taste was proportional to the price.
Su Xun glanced at Xi Wan.
Xi Wan received his gaze, but she did not say anything. She had an air of
indifference.
Only then did Su Xun say, “No need. We’re tight on time today. I want to bring
Wanwan to take a good look at my alma mater.”
The bespectacled man who had spoken earlier was a good observer in the workplace. From the best position, he could see their fleeting interaction clearly.
He suddenly remembered the way Su Xun introduced Xi Wan at the beginning and realized that Su Xun’s expression seemed to be one that would only be shown to a woman he loved deeply.
“Sigh, then there’s nothing we can do.” The person who suggested the gathering could only feel sorry for him. “Although it’s rare for everyone to get together, your wife is more important. I understand.”
After that person said this, someone beside him immediately started to tease him.
Su Xun didn’t have to agree to their jokes but he said, “I’ve ruined everyone’s mood. This meal will be on my tab. I wish everyone a good time..”
